Registration starts at 9am; round 1 is at 10. We’ll take a lunch break between rounds.

You can get the full Steamroller rules right here from Privateer Press. The only difference in a Themeroller is using Theme Lists from your Army Book. We’ll have the Steamroller Coins for prizes!

These will be single elimination tournaments – lose a match, lose the tournament! Whenever we have eight players ready to go, we’ll start the next one (and yes, you can enter more than once).

We’ll stop taking new flights at 5pm, so get there any time between 1 and 5!

Our Warhammer Fantasy League is geared to offer something to competitive and casual players alike. Most of all, it’s a great reason to play! Players will earn points throughout the League for playing games, winning and painting their models.

The League will follow an Escalation model, meaning after each month the size of your army increases. You are not required to buy a new army to play. Of course, if you’re thinking about a new army, this is the perfect opportunity. Not only will you get to play with your new force as you build it up, you might win prizes to add to it for free!

Official League Day will be every other Saturday. The organizer will be available from 5pm until 8pm with typical game start time at 6pm. You can schedule games on other days if you need, though bonus credit is reserved for playing on League Day. The official League Group on the Community Portal makes scheduling games simple.

Prizes

At the end of each Tier prizes will be awarded by vote for these categories:

• Best attitude
• Highest Battle Points

A player may only win each tier once during the league. At the end of the League, the top 3 players, overall player with the best attitude and a consolation prize to the lowest-scoring player will receive an award. Prizes awarded will be based on how many players participate.

Scoring

Players earn battle points for each league game played:

• 2 points for playing a game
• 1 additional point for winning a game
• 1 point for having a fully-painted qualifying league army
• 1 additional point for showing up to play for scheduled league games

Battle points accrued are then averaged over the number of games played and then compared to determine highest point values. Please be sure to complete a score card entry at the counter after each game.

Players also earn a point added into the final score tally if they are:

• a new member to the league
• playing a new army compared to a previous League session.
• bringing a friend to join the league. You may only earn up to 3 points in this manner.

Best attitude will be scored at the end of each tier by a secret ballot vote of the attendees.

Tiers

Each Tier runs for four weeks, with Tier 1 starting Saturday, May 5 at 4pm. Check the rules document (below) for full details on each Tier’s special rules.

The Launch Party format shifted this set to a Launch League! Players build a 40-card deck with six Avacyn Restored boosters. Each Thursday players can add one booster pack and modify their deck. Register your decklist each week at the counter.

Prizes

All entry fees will go straight to prize support. We also have exclusive Avacyn Restored posters for the top winners.

Angel Flights

There are also optional rules players can use at the start of their matches. These rules are determined by the Avacyn’s Angel Flights, and they change every week.

Herons, Week One: Each player may choose a basic land card from his or her deck and start the game with that card on the battlefield.

Alabaster, Week Two: Whenever a creature enters the battlefield, that creature’s controller may put an Aura card from his or her hand that could enchant it onto the battlefield attached to that creature.

Goldnight, Week Three: If a creature would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.

Avacyn, Week Four: Whenever a creature attacks, it becomes indestructible for the rest of the turn.

Over the course of the league, you will be able to add more boosters to your league deck.

Each participant should play five matches per week, for a total of twenty over the course of the league. Players joining theAvacyn Restored League late can play extra matches to catch up to the current match cap of five times the current total of weeks of the league.

At the end of the league, there will be cool prize posters for the top finishers. Your local store may offer other prizes as well. Be sure to contact it to confirm the details of its league.

The Kill Teams event will run from Noon to 6pm. At the end we’ll tally up points and award prizes. Entry is $5 for prize support.

Assemble Your Forces

Each player fields a 300 point army. Kill Teams use a unique force allocation chart:

• 0-2 troop
• 0-1 elite
• 0-1 fast attack

No unique characters or models with vehicle armor allowed. Note that there are no compulsory troop choices.

Pick out three distinct models to be Heroes. You may give each Hero a universal special rule from the main rulebook. Each Hero must use a different rule. You must tell your opponent which models are Heroes and which special rule each one is using.

You are not restricted to keeping the same army list – or even the same faction! – during the event. Just remember, this event is about playing lots of games, so prepare your lists ahead of time.

Rules of Engagement

Kill Teams is played on 4×4-foot tables with lots of terrain – about a third to half the table space will be covered.

Each game will follow the same scenario using quarters deployment, objectives and kill points. Each table will have three objectives each worth 2 Battle Points, one at the center and one each at the center of the unoccupied quarters. Destroying a troop unit is worth 1 Battle Point, killing a Hero is worth 1 Battle Point, and destroying an elite or fast attack unit is worth 2 Battle Points each. The most Battle Points at game end wins that game. Play as many games as you can to rack up Victory Points to win the event!

Victory!

You’ll gain Victory Points throughout the day for your achievements in battle. All points across all games count toward your total. Unless specified, you can only claim each achievement once. The player with the most Victory Points at the end of the event wins!

Here’s the list of achievements:

• 1 point (unlimited)
• Play a game (1 point per game)
• Play against a new opponent (1 point per unique opponent)
• Play against a new faction (1 point per unique faction)
• Play with a new faction (1 point per unique faction)

Coming From Out of Town?

We’re easy to reach from I-10 at the Clearview exit. You can get directions here. Our store is behind the Independence Mall, facing the back street, not facing the central parking lot.

We’re prepared to seat 150 players, with plenty of snacks and drinks in the store. We’ll have pizza by the slice for the event, and there’s plenty else to eat nearby. There will be a lunch break between rounds whenever it falls best.

Fine print: non-collectible gaming stuff only (no cards, no snacks). This is a non-stacking sale (sorry, no combining with hero coupons). One use per customer.

$25 entry gets you one of three new starter decks – Lion, Spider or Unicorn – and three Embers of War booster packs. All entries get a Den of Iniquity promo card! All entries go to prize support for Embers of War boosters!

We’ll have Embers of War on sale throughout the Pre-Release period, May 4-14, including running additional Pre-Release events on our regular L5R Mondays.

You can pre-order booster boxes before the Pre-Release for $120; during and after pre-release they’ll be $150 (Hero coupons stack with the latter price).
