Army Lists are to be selected to a maximum of 1750 points. You can select units from the matched play profiles from the General’s Handbook 2019, Battletomes, Forgeworld and Endless Spells from Malign Sorcery/Battletomes.
Every Player will be expected to use the most recent version of any Warscroll in the case of duplicates.
As well as selecting artifacts from your Battletome (or Grand alliance), you can also state your army is from one of the Realms as per page 79 of Malign Sorcery. This will allow you to select Artefacts of the Realms for your army as described there.
Lists are to be submitted on the day. You will also need a second copy to show your opponents. Before Game One, please exchange army lists with your opponent and spend a couple of minutes checking for errors.
Allegiance, Realm, General, Command Traits, Artifacts, Battletome specific spells etc are all to be picked on your army list and should not change over the course of the event.
All current GW FAQs will be in use -https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/

THE BATTLEPLANS & SCORING
The 3 games will be played using Battleplans from both the Core Book and the General’s Handbook 2019.
The three Battleplans being used over the day will be announced on the day itself so no player has an unfair advantage.
Each Battleplan will tell you how to determine the winner for each game. Your result will earn you an amount of Tournament points based in the result.
There are 30 Tournament Points (TPs) available . Each game has 10TPs up for grabs and will be awarded in the following manner;
• Major Victory – 10
• Minor Victory – 8
• Draw – 5
• Minor Loss – 2
• Major Loss – 0
Most Major Victories will be the first tie-break with Strength of Schedule as the second tie-break (the combined score of your three opponents)

All NAF approved teams may be used in this event. Number of rounds depend on number of players.
All coaches will have 1,100,000 to purchase their team, as per the rule-books and the teams of legend PDF.
Star players may be selected if you already have 11 rostered players. If, however, both you and an opponent are using the same star player, neither team may use them (as they have been double booked and can’t play for both teams).

The Mutatotor!
The Mutatotor visits the dressing rooms of the teams before each match and bestows his gifts upon some of the players!
At the start of the first round each coach will be given three mutation cards or tokens at random! These are to be used as follows throughout the day. A player can be given one (and only one) of these mutations before any match. The skill lasts for the duration of the round after which the card/token will be collected and is used for the day! You may use any number of mutations at the start of a round. I.e. you may use all three of your mutations in round one but have none for the duration or you may use one in each round. It’s up to you!
