The Huddersfield Apocalypse Rules Pack 2011
Sponsored by Huddersfield Games
Location –
Cellar Dwellars Huddersfield. Laser Zone, 29 St Johns Road Huddersfield HD1 5DX
Date –
September 3rd – 4th
Background –
North of the Ultima Segmentum, lies a planet. A quiet tomb world, avoided by Tyranids tendrils, free of Tau expansion, away from the grasp of Chaos, only surveyed by the Imprium, ignored by raiders, and still from the stomp of WHARRRRRR’s. That is until now.
The Eldar are ready and know what is coming. Do you?
Tournament Outline –
This event is designed to be a fun tournament that anyone can win. It will be played over two days with each person playing four games of Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse. It uses specially designed scenarios to introduce variation into the games played.
Tournament Size –
16 places are available. Book before coming!
Tournament Cost –
£20 for both days. Deposit taken on booking.
Army composition –
Your army must be a legally allied apocalypse army made up from 5000 points. If playing a game less than 5000 points you can change the composition of your army from one game to another. However the composition of the 3000 points must come from the original 5000 points.
Using allies is restricted. A faction of 500 points minimum must be used as an ally. In past events single characters or single units from other lists have been used. In games of Apocalypse this is not representative or fair. Small factions are much more likely. This rule represents this.
If you change your army list between games it must be done before the next game is announced. The list must be checked by the umpire before the game starts so don’t delay. If your list is not checked then you can’t change it. The list you are using must be signed by the umpire before use.
Players must bring the rules they intend to use. These will not be supplied. Models with no rules can not be used.
The army can be made up from additional models and rules from
Games Workshop: Data sheets, Codex, Relevant White Dwarfs, FAQ’s
Forgeworld: All material to the current apocalypse version
The Lords of Terra: Macharian Crusade, Age of Heresy, Badab War, Army of Death, Adeptus Arbites, Genestealer Cult, Ordo Hereticus Strike Force, Lords of Battle v2.
Tempus Fugitives: Cult Mechanicus, Soul Forge, Age of the Emperor
Superseded army lists will not be allowed. Example: Index Astrates army lists.
Army lists from older codices will be acceptable if not superseded. Example: Army’s from the Eye of Terror. Check before booking if you are unsure.
Special Characters or Units may be used provided you have a copy of the rules to hand and can provide them to the umpires.
Stratagems are per the standard rules, but with a few changes. Only one free stratagem is available per entry, not general. This is for balance so get over it. There is no advantage to bringing 4 mates to get more stratagems. Additional stratagems can be bought for 250 each, up to a maximum of 4. These must be done before the game is announced and in rules terms counts as an army change. These additional stratagems must come from your 5000 points list. Duplicate stratagems cannot be purchased, but can be used if part of a formation.
If unsure the material will be acceptable check with event organisers before booking. The tournament organisers reserve the right to object to army compositions. So please do check before the day by sending in your 5000 point list to [email protected]. Objected army lists can still be played, however all points from that game will be lost.
Each army list will be checked by the event organisers. Try and make your list legible so we can understand your list. If large errors are found in composition or points, points will be deducted. If this affects game play and more importantly fun, then the play will be asked to leave the tournament. Refunds will not be given if this is the case.
Games -
Game times: The game will start at the given time and will end at the given time. Life is not fair and this rule isn’t either. You start late your loss. You’re not finished at the correct time sorry. At the end time for each game an umpire will come over and ask for your scores. If you don’t have them they will make a decision at that point which is final. The game length will be 31/2 hours + 1D6x10 min. Yes each game will have a random game length. A player turn cannot last longer than 20 min. This should be managed between the players.

Game conditions – The defender will deploy first. The defender has first turn.
Win conditions – Objective holding as per standard 40k rules. Each uncontested objective held at the end of the game counts as a point. Only troops can hold objectives. So check out the standard 40k rules.

The objective must be carried off via the corner of your deployment zone furthest away from no mans land. That is, if the unit can exit off in the corner then the objective can be claimed. Exiting uses the same rules as embarking a vehicle for measuring distances and when it can occur.

Objectives can be carried in vehicles by models in the vehicles but takes up one slot. Objectives can be carried by a vehicle if models put it in there. Rules for putting an objective in a vehicle are similar to embarking rules. The object must fully reach the inside of the vehicle; that means the unit must get in, then stay in the vehicle or get out without it. Vehicle movement is the same otherwise. Objectives can be carried by bikes but the squad must include at least two models, turbo boosting is allowed. Objectives can be carried by models on foot. Walkers can carry one objective per close combat weapon. Objectives cannot be destroyed due to the light of the emperor or the trickery of chaos. Sky leaping with an objective is possible if the squad has a unit size of 5 or greater, but the objective must be walked off the table. Super lifta droppers can throw the objectives in this scenario. Other conditions not covered here may be allowed and must be discussed before the game commenced if used. Units carrying objectives can place the objective anywhere in the unit.

The Umpires may also remove miniatures from the table that are either illegal or just not wysiwyg. The Umpires decision is final, even if they are subsequently found to have made an incorrect judgment. Proxy models must be cleared with the Umpires before play can start; this is also the case with conversions that are not obvious (wysiwyg). Illegal deployment will result in models being placed in reserve, so please check before you start.
