2026.07 1000 Point Event

This event will be held July 18th at Hobbytown USA in Castleton

The doors open at 9.00, and games will start around 9.30-10. Players will be matched up upon arrival where possible and may start early if they like.

If you forget dice or a tape measure, these can be provided. If you forget your army, then enjoy watching other people play.

This event will not be using the mission decks, so there is no need to have those.

Having a notepad or other system to track your score and other details is recommended. It is not your opponent's or the organizer's responsibility to track this for you.

Players that finish early are free to go grab food as needed, and light refreshments are available for purchase at HT.

Reach out to me on discord if you have any questions.

Rules

Note that these rules won't be finalized until the start of the event, and some may be discarded during the course of the day. Consider this more a general idea of what things could be like.

Army Composition

Each player must bring 4-6 lists, each using a single different detachment of any DP cost. Only one list will be used at a time, and each list may only be used once. Players do not need to use the same faction in each list.

If you want to use the same 1000 points worth of models in each game, that's fine but the detachment used will need to change each time. If you want to use a completely different army each time, that's also fine as long as the same detachment isn't used more than once.

Force dispositions will not be used, nor will the event layouts/terrain maps.

All lists should follow the most recent version of rules available for that faction. Lists do not need to be turned in beforehand, but must be available to be viewed by your opponents. Follow the guidelines for 1000 points with the following addenda:

• Epic Hero units are permitted, but only in one list.
• Legends units are not permitted.
• Allied units are permitted, but only in one list.

Rule Disputes

If a dispute on a rule cannot be resolved within 3 minutes, a dice role will determine precedent for that game.

Painting Requirements

Any unit that is even partially unpainted will suffer D6 mortal wounds in each player's command phase until the unit is either destroyed or is no longer partially unpainted.

Game duration

Games will last up to 2.5 hours. The first players to finish a game each round and report their scores will receive bonus points. Once half the tables have completed their games, the remainder will be told to finish their current turn and the next round will begin as soon as possible.

Terrain

Some terrain will have the following keywords, which will be indicated by a marker on the terrain feature:

Keyword	Marker	Effect
slippery	green	models that start a normal, advance, fall back, or charge move within/through this terrain feature gain +2" to that movement
difficult	blue	models that start a normal, advance, fall back, or charge move within/through this terrain feature suffer -2" to that movement
hazardous	red	models that move through this terrain will need to take a hazard roll

Game and Table Setup

All tables will be setup in a configuration to be used all day, including deployment zones.

Games

Games will last at least 3 rounds. Starting at the beginning of round 4, the player going first rolls a D6 and if the result is less than the current round number, then the game ends immediately. If both players agree, they may forfeit all command points they both currently have to play one more turn.

Objectives

Objectives will be marked by a token at the start of the day.

Missions

When reporting scores to the TO at the end of the game, use the Scoring section to determine the number of event points to report.

Deployment

The first player to arrive at the table chooses their deployment zone, and the other play can choose to deploy first or second.
