Grotscon 2013 Warhammer Fantasy Scenario Pack
Each scenario listed here will be played once during the Warhammer Fantasy tournament held at Grotscon 2013. The order listed here does not determine the order in which they will be played. Balanced lists able to complete a variety of the
missions listed in each scenario will be key to victory in this tournament. Good luck to all of you.
Scenario OutlineAll scenarios listed here use the following basic set-up with unique modifications. Please read this core outline as well as each scenario carefully as scoring points and win conditions are not exactly the same as listed in the Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition Rulebook. Each player scores both victory points and Scenario Points throughout the game. These points are used for determining both the winner of the game and the amount of Scenario Points you are awarded for overall positions. Ensure you are familiar with the way points are scored and understand both players may walk a way with a variety of Scenario Points each game.
The ArmiesEach army is made up of the 2400 point list each player crafted for this tournament. The list cannot be changed before scenario and must be played as submitted unless altered by a judge for a valid reason(over/under points etc)
The BattlefieldTerrain is preset and may not be moved, except by Wood Elves using their unique Spell Lore (please see the Warhammer Fantasy Player Package for more detail). Some tables with have special or unique terrain with additional rules. These rules will be labelled at the table and will follow them. In the case of magical or mysterious terrain, these will be marked as such.
Deployment and Turn OrderOnce objective markers (if any) have been placed and special terrain rules understood, players will roll off to decide deployment order. Follow all normal deployment rules for the Deployment style listed in the Warhammer Fantasy 8th Ed. Rulebook. Each scenario is clearly listed which Deployment style it will follow.
Game LengthEach game will last 6 turns, ending on the close of the second players sixth turn. The game may also be called “Dice Down” due to the round time expiring. Please ensure you follow the rules for “Dice Down” as listed in the Warhammer Fantasy Player Package.
ScoringAt the end of each game calculate the amount of victory points both players have earned. Include all victory points listed under Victory Conditions (see page 143 – Warhammer Fantasy 8th Ed. Rulebook). Once victory points the player with more is consider player 1, while the player with less is player 2. Determine the difference in victory points between the two players and use the chart below to determine the amount of Scenario Points scored by each player.
Please note that each player may earn Scenario Points. Once these are figured out, add them to the amount of Scenario Points earned for completing the scenario objectives (see scenario) and report this to the Judge(s).
Tabling an OpponentPlease note that should you table an opponent (remove every single model from the table in a turn) the game is over regardless of any models that may be in reserve. Count the game as though “Dice Down” has been called and calculate victory points as normal. Any scenario objectives that were achieved by either player in the dice down state (or before) will count for the player who scored them. Keep in mind both players may earn Scenario Points at the outcome of the battle despite a tabling.
