Tournament Rules:

SIDE QUEST: HIGHLANDER!

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

During list building, you will select one model to be your highlander for the tournament. The model must meet the following conditions:

• 125 points or less (includes blessings)
• No hero runemark

This model remains the HIGHLANDER for the duration of the entire tournament. The HIGHLANDER earns 1 HIGHLANDER point for:

• Staying alive the entire match
• Completing a mission objective (capturing a point, picking up a treasure, etc…) occurs once a match.
• Killing another HIGHLANDER

At the end of the tournament, the two players with the highest HIGHLANDER POINTS will compete in a final battle as THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! In this battle the players will compete in a quarter of a map and will roll only 4 initiative dice. Players will alternate activations one action at a time but may use an ability each activation. I.e., Player one will move and use an ability then Player two will move. Each player may only attack once.

• If multiple players tie for HIGHLANDER then they all compete in the arena.

Warband Criteria:

•  The warband must include 3 and no more than 15 fighters with the same faction runemark (except for allies, thralls, and monsters).

•  The combined value of all the fighters in the player’s warband cannot exceed 1000 points.
•  Bladeborn Fighters ARE PERMITTED with profiles from the 2021 Tome of Champions or relevant White Dwarf Issue.

•  Players will select their Hammer, Dagger, and Shield battle groups BEFORE the tournament (see list submission below) begins and keep these groups throughout the duration of the event.

• Rosters will need to identify leaders and fighters with their associated points.
• Rosters will also need to have the leaders and fighters separated and clearly marked into the Hammer, Dagger, and Shield battle groups. Fighters must be spread across the three battle groups as evenly as possible, per Warcry 2.0 rules.
• Players do not need to bring printed rosters to the event but should be prepared to show their lists and show the corresponding models in their warband. If players are concerned about digital access to their list, they are heavily encouraged to bring a print copy.
