Dice Policy – Supplied Dice Event

This is a supplied dice event.

• Dice will be provided for all games.
• Players must use the supplied dice.
• Any dice not provided by the TO may not be used.

This helps ensure fairness, consistency, and fewer “interesting” dice conversations.

Painting Requirements – Formal Checklist

This checklist can be used to confirm armies meet the minimum Battle Ready standard.
It is not intended to reward elite painting — it exists solely to ensure reasonable hobby effort.

If you’ve painted your army in good faith, you will very easily pass.

Battle Ready Painting Checklist

This event requires all armies to meet a minimum Battle Ready standard. This is not about winning painting prizes. This is about ensuring players make a genuine hobby effort and that armies look appropriate on the table.

⚠️ Important:
Any army judged by the Tournament Organiser to be a pisstake in terms of preparation, painting, or presentation may be penalised between 1–3 tournament points.

Examples that may result in penalties include:

• Bare plastic, resin, or primer-only models
• Unfinished or completely unbased armies
• Extremely low-effort paint jobs intended to bypass minimum standards
• Misleading, confusing, or deliberately unclear model representations

The TO’s decision on painting penalties is final.

If you have unusual conversions or 3D prints, you must seek approval before the event:
📧 patrickneven@live.com.au

If you’ve made a reasonable effort, you’ll be fine.
If you’re trying to see how far you can push it — don’t.

World’s Richest AoS Quiz

This isn’t just any quiz — it’s the World’s Richest Age of Sigmar Quiz.

• Time: Approx. 8:30 – 10:30 PM Saturday Night.
  
• Style: AoS, Warhammer, hobby culture, general nonsense
  
• Special Subject: 🎬 Bruce Campbell (film & TV legend)
  

Expect questions. Expect chaos. Expect someone to know far too much about Evil Dead.

Sportsmanship & Conduct

This is a competitive event, but:

• Be respectful
• Be clear with intent
• Communicate openly

Cheating is not tolerated.
This includes (but is not limited to):

• Altering dice results
• Misrepresenting rules or warscrolls
• Measuring inaccurately on purpose
• Submitting an illegal list

Penalties may include warnings, score penalties, or removal from the event.

Game Timing & Chess Clocks

• Rounds are strictly timed
• Players are expected to play at a reasonable pace
• If a game does not finish:

• Complete the current battle round
• Score based on the game state at time

Chess clocks may be required if a pacing issue is identified by a TO.
Failure to manage time fairly may result in penalties.

Final Notes

• Bring everything you need to play: warscrolls, tokens, objectives, measuring tools
• Keep your phone charged for BCP
• Ask a TO early if something seems unclear

If you have questions, weird edge cases, or hobby concerns — ask before the weekend.

This player pack was generated with the help of Chat GPT. Don’t feel super intelligent if you worked that out before this point. We don’t have time to waste on prepping this stuff when AI can do most of the heavy lifting, because let’s face it…this stuff doesn’t really matter and you’ll be spending the weekend pushing around little plastic army men so any feeling of superiority about our ‘shortcut’ should be properly stowed at this point.
