If you have dietary needs, please visit the Cafe to speak with Chef Leo so he can accommodate you.

General Rules: Welcome to our last RTT of 10th Edition Warhammer 40K! This event is a day to bring out your favorite models that haven’t seen the table much this edition, to play with a thematic/narrative force that brings a story to the table, or to just show off your hobbying skills! 

This will be the first RTT of 11th Edition, so we're expecting a lot of rules checking and such... so our suggestion is to bring simple lists or duplicate units, so you can focus on the learning the new game updates - rather than focusing on this being a competitive event. This event is meant to break old 10th edition habits and learn new  11th edition rules and how they intereact.

Rule of Thumb: Please treat each other, staff members, and organizers with respect.  While this is a semi-competitive/competitive format with prizing, we are also here for a good time (and hopefully  good stories). The tournament will enforce the ITC code of conduct. Be kind, be cordial, have fun!

Format: This will be a 3 game Rogue Trader Tournament (RTT) using new 11th edition rules and missions.

Judging: There will be an active judging stance at this event. While the judge(s) will not be looking to  intervene, they may step in to adjudicate disputes and help speed up rulings. Calling over a judge to  help with a ruling is encouraged and will not be held against anyone. Judge rulings are final.

Dice: We ask that players use one type/colour of dice so that opponents and judges can clearly see  what numbers are showing. If your dice has a symbol for 6 or 1, it must be consistent across all your  dice (exception for Miracle dice, wound markers, etc.), and cannot have symbols on multiple sides (i.e. skull on 1, faction symbol on 6). Dice must be rolled in a location visible to your opponent.

Chess Clocks: To ensure each player has equal time to score points, chess clocks are highly encouraged for this tournament. Tournament rounds will be 3 hours. Each player will have 1.5 hours on their clock. Clocks can only be paused by the judge. Once the 3 hours are over, a Hard Dice Down policy will be enforced. If one player requests a clock, the game must be played with one. Top tables in the final round of the tournament will play with a clock by default.

Bring: Dice, Dice Trays, Tape Measure, Codex/supplement books, battery pack, tokens for abilities and auras etc., and any other gaming aids you may require.  

Prizing: There may be prizes for such things as; favorite opponent, best painted, best display , average joe, wooden spoon, and more along with random prizing. Typically, we like to see one third to half of the players rewarded with gift cards, trophies or exclusive merchandise. You must be present at the end of the event to receive any prizing.

Cancellations: Any cancellations in the 7 days leading up to the event will not be refunded. The ticket price will be rolled into the prize support.

Painting & Conversion Rules: Torchlight is proud to be home to a great community of hobbyists. The following rules will apply. 

3D Printing: 3D Printed Armies are not acceptable. You may use 3D printed bits to customize your models, however we aren't allowing any armies where too many models are 3D Printed. (Under 20% of your army should be 3D printed.)

Conversions: Models must be WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get). Converted or scratch built models are admissible, provided they are similar in size and shape to the original (i.e. a sword  replacing a sword). All models MUST be on their intended base size. You can check base sizes by  visiting GW's official webstore and searching for the model in question. If you have any questions  regarding your models, please send pictures and details to 40k@torchlightgh.com or Sarah Ivankovic for approval.

Painting: Players are asked to have a GW minimum Battle Ready (See Bellow) on all their models. This is NOT “3 Color minimum”.  Models that are not fully painted can still be used, however 10 points for Battle Ready will not be awarded.
