SIBCON RTT again in the works!
COS isholding its 2nd annual 2000 pt Warhammer Fantasy Rogue Trader Tournament at SIBCON XI 2006 this October! More details to come as we adjust to the upcoming release of 7th Edition!!

What is the tentative format for the RTT?
Formats will share those of PIL RTTs in an effort to create events that will qualify as both PIL and Games Workshop sanctioned tournaments. The schedule is subject to change, since, well, this is the first one we have run at a convention (so please bear with us)!

Tentative Schedule (as of May 5th, 2005):

Registration:
You will be able to pre-register your Army Roster online.
You may also register on-site Fri Eve or Sat Mor, up until 9 am.

Event Fee:
$2 (For two gaming slots) in addition to admission into the convention)

In other words, $17 total if pre-registered prior to Oct 13th, $22 total if after Oct 13th and at the door, so pre-register early!

Army Points:
2000 pts

Basic RTT Rules: (May Change Slightly Due To 7th Edition Release)
The general rules for the Rogue Trader Tournament are straightforward. You must use the same army roster for each round. The latest edition of the rules must be used. Furthermore, contestants should know that Rogue Trader Tournaments are for fun, and that poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated in any way.

1) We will be using the 7th edition rulebook for the event, as well as all revisions and updates to the appropriate 6th edition Army Books and Supplements. Only published material is legal. The most current rules must be used, and players must bring the most current copies of the rules for their army. Rumors and pre-release info will NOT be permitted for use.

2) Your army must be made up of Citadel, Marauder, Fanatic or Forge World miniatures. You must use models that are representative of the race. If you are playing Empire, you must use Empire models. If you are playing Orcs & Goblins, you must use Orc & Goblin models, etc. Models must also be on appropriate base sizes or take up an equal amount of space.

3) What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). If a model is armed with an item, it must be shown on the figure. Models for army list choices that are not available must be converted.

4) Every model must be painted (they must contain at least 3 colors to count). Just priming them black or white is not going to cut it.

5) You must conduct yourself in a manner that will not bring the hobby into disrepute.

6) You must bring all materials needed to play including: 2 copies of your army roster, dice, measuring device, templates, models, and any rules that you will be using.

7) You may use Special Characters. However, no single character may cost more than 25% (500 points) of the army. This included all magic items, army-specific upgrades (bloodline powers, runes, etc.) and mounts the character was riding.

8) Arcane Lore articles, rules clarifications, and Q&A appearing in White Dwarf are in use.

Army Theme/Composition:
This RTT will include PIL's own set of Composition Guidelines as follows:
(Composition Points will be deducted if these Guidelines are not followed, but players will still be allowed to field their armies)

1) Minimum of 33% spent on Core selections?

2) Does the army contain at least as many Core selections as Special or Rare or Hero selections?

3) A maximum of 15% spent on wargear?

4) Does this army fit the Warhammer Fantasy background?

If you have any questions regarding the tournament, email Lucas Kelly or post them on the Convention Message Board.
