Units with DistinctElements and Kill pointsSome units consist of parts thatdeploy and operate separately, suchas a squad of Space Marines and theirRhino transport vehicle, Space Marinesquads that split into combat squads,a Brood of Lictors or an ImperialGuard Infantry Platoon. Treat eachelement separately for Kill Pointspurposes. The same approach is takenwhen an independent character has aCommand squad or retinue. Eachelement is a separate unit and thus isworth a Kill Point when destroyed.

There are over 140 Games Workshopstores across the UK, Ireland and NorthernEurope and each of these stores can offerhelp and activities for your club.

These activities are held in the store, andthe vast majority of the activities that werun are free of charge; the only possibleexceptions are Scenery or Conversionworkshops where there may be a smallcharge for materials.

Your local store can also provide a greatclub meeting place during School holidayperiods simply speak to the StoreManager to arrange this.

When you speak to a Games WorkshopStore Manager they will talk to you aboutwhat sort of activity you would like to takepart in. They will be able to tailor events

specifically for your club but broadlyspeaking the activities are:

Painting (basic or advanced).

Gaming (tactics or practice battles).

Army Lists (helping each team memberwrite their list/choose their army).

Modelling (putting figurestogether/converting them).

Scenery including objective markers.

Tournament (either against other schoolsor within the club).

Our staff will also wish to take somecontact details from you, the name of theClub Supervisor and their phone number.

They will also need to know how manypeople you are bringing into the store,

and how long they have been playing.

The other thing that you will need toconsider is getting trip permission and allassociated administration. If you find thatgetting permission to take the club to thestore is difficult, or the transport isunavailable, it might be worth letting theclub members know that there will be anevent in store and get them to meet youthere. This way can also help with thetransport issue as they will be dropped offby parents or make their own way.

Find your nearest store in the Storefindersection ofwww.games-workshop.com

All of our stores have Risk Assessments /COSSH which you will be more thanwelcome to look at.

TOURNAMENTS



FREQUENTLY ASKED

What is the age range

permitted in a SchoolLeague Team?Age 11 18 or school years 7 to 13.

How many people are ina team?There are four people in a team.

Can we have one team thatplays all three games?No, at the Finals the three differentsystems will all be played at the same timeso you will need a separate team of fourpeople for each system you want to play.

For example you can have a Warhammerteam, a Warhammer 40,000 team and aThe Lord of The Rings team.

Does each team memberhave to have their own army?Yes, each member has to have their ownarmy chosen using the School League rules.(See page 3 of this pack).

Does each team memberhave to have the same army?No, the armies can be different.

Does each army have tobe painted?Yes, you will lose points for eachunpainted army in the tournament.

This could well mean the differencebetween qualifying for the next stage in

the tournament or not!

What counts as a paintedarmy?Three colours minimum and based. Apainted model means that every part of themodel is appropriately painted, for exampleleaving a sword black means the model isnot fully painted and therefore the wholeforce counts as unpainted. Ask the staff inyour local Games Workshop for anexample if you are unsure about this.

What counts as based?Based means that at least one layer oftexture has been applied to the modelsbase and painted where appropriate.

How do I get hold of anArmy Roster?In this School League pack (and in the ClubResources section of our website) you willfind blank Roster Sheets for you to fill inwith your Army List. If you need help withthis please get in touch with your localGames Workshop store.

Do I have to take the sameteam that won the RegionalHeat to the Regional Final?If it is possible then this is the bestoption, however there are alwayscircumstances that can get in the way of

QUESTIONSContactsBek Hawkby:

Phone: 0115 900 4821Email: [email protected] to: Bek Hawkby, CommunityCoordinator, Games Workshop,Willow Road, Lenton, NottinghamNG7 2WS

Bek looks after all club and SchoolLeague enquiries, so should you haveany questions or need advice about

any School League issues then Bekshould be your first point of contact.

Before Bek came to GamesWorkshop, she worked forNottinghamshire Library Service. Bekworked in many different librariesover the years, including a schoollibrary. Bek also set up the first librarygaming club in Nottinghamshire andhelps run a club in Ripley Library.

Bek has also been a hobbyist formany years and has armies for all

our core gaming systems (althoughWarhammer 40,000 will always beher favourite!)



this so if you need to change the line upit is fine. Your teacher will need to notifythe Community Coordinator (Bek) as soonas you have finalised the changes.

Do I have to take the sameteam that won the RegionalFinal to the InternationalFinal?If it is possible then this is the bestoption, however there are alwayscircumstances that can get in the way ofthis so if you need to change the line upit is fine. Your teacher will need to notifythe Community Coordinator (Bek) as soon

as you have finalised the changes.

Why are there pointsawarded for bringingrulebooks, Codexes, ArmyBooks and gaming materials?This is because the rules in the SchoolLeague pack use scenarios andinformation contained in the rulebooks.For Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000players there will be special rules for

their specific armies contained in their

Codex/Army book. It is impossible to getthe most out of your army without thesebooks! They are also there to encourageeach student to look up rules andquestions for themselves. The gamingmaterials will be needed to play thegame and it is a poor commander thatgoes into battle unprepared!

Can my school field multipleteams for each system?For most Regional Heats you will only beable to field one team per system. Atselected Regional Heats you will be able

to field more than one team but only ifyou have one team per system alreadyplaying. Priority will be given to newteams wanting to join. At the InternationalFinal you can only have a maximum ofone team per system.
