Rules (same as below, but
in a pdf file)
Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader Tournament
Information Sheet
Rules:
1. Trial or “new” assault rules will be in affect.
2. Special characters are allowed (except Citadel Journal
characters).
3. Jungle rules and City fight rules will NOT be used.
4. What you see if what you get on models will be enforced.
5. 1750 points, one standard force organization chart. 3 games.
6. Poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated. This is all for
fun. Disputes should be handled by mutual agreement, or a
roll-off if not handled in 2 minutes. If a ruling is asked for,
it will be impartial, fast and binding. Please, handle disputes
as best possible. This is the Eye of Terror so be a bit more
understanding than normal and remember, battle points are only 1/4
of your total score.
7. Submission of army lists or questions of any sort by email to
the judge’s address below.
Care of Bruce Jaggard by Monday August 4th is suggested
for maximum selection points (see entry later) and mandatory for
certain army lists used (also, see below)
8. All models must be Citadel, Forgeworld, Maruader or Fanatic.
In addition, the Joe Oreteza Adeption 2003 model may be used as
well as any custom sculped dude you’ve created based on existing
Warhammer 40,000 fluff or history.
Unusual Rogue Trader Rules:
1. All ‘recommended optional’ rules from Chapter Approved books
(with exception of road, craters and other things...and forced
marching) will be in affect.
2. All ‘recommended optional’ army lists will be
allowed...including Feral Orks, Armageddon Guard Regiments (Elysians,
Death Korp Krieg, etc.), Death Company Armies, Armored Companies,
Kroot Mercenaries (as allies and complete armies), Cursed Founding
Marine chapters. Etc. Ask Judge about armies you’re interest in
that aren’t specifically mentioned please.
3. Imperial Armor Vehicles and devices are allowed. Except
Fliers and warmachines.
4. Vehicle Design Rules (VDR) will be allowed with following
restrictions...
A. One per army
B. May replace a Transport vehicle
C. Must be submitted via email by August 1 with 3 view
pictures of Final Product to judge for pre- approval.
D. A second complete army list will be prepared by users of
VDR in case judge vetoes use of such vehicle (even upon
preapproval if not 100% as submitted earlier if they don’t look
like the submitted picture of have been modified).
E. A ‘data template’ of some sort MUST be made available to
each opponent and an extra for the judge.
.....short answer, be prepared to have your VDR put
through the ringer and also prepare for it not to be allowed.
5. Citadel Journal army lists are allowed but ONLY as full armies
and not allies. This includes Harlequins, Arbites, and GeneStealer
Cults. Characters for citadel journal are not allowed.
6. Every player will provide his own dice, template, markers
etc. This also means that each player will have a copy of ANY
rules he intends to use available for his opponent to review. No
rules provided, judges will rule.
Tournament Scoring:
1. 25% of total score, 60 points, will be based on battle
performance and called “Battle”
2. 25% of total score, 60 points, will be based on sportsmanship.
3. 25% of total score, 60 points, will be based on army
appearance
4. 25% of total score, 60 points, will be based on army selection
Battle Scoring:
You shall earn up to 20 points per battle. There are three.
Simple and based on the missions which shall be announced by
tournament judge in each round. Prepare for any type of battle
and the missions may be custom designed by judge and, therefore,
never seen before.
Sportsmanship Scoring:
You shall have points earned by what your opponents say about
your general demeanor as a player during your game with them. You
shall rank your three opponents at the end of the day from ‘best
sportsman’, to ‘worst sportsman’. Each ‘best’ vote you get earns
you 20 points, each ‘middle’ will earn you 10, and each ‘worst’
shall earn you 0. You will NOT be giving each opponent a ‘best’
ranking. All three may be the best players you’ve ever faced, but
you still must decide how to rank them yourself from best to
worst. If all three of your opponents find you the most enjoyable
of the three THEY each played, you shall earn 60 points. The
average score will therefore be a 30 and there should be few (if
any) ties for best sportsman.
Selection Scoring:
For the purpose of the Eye of Terror Tournament, a good
selection refers to the ability to take on all-comers. At the end
of the tournament, each player will choose their favorite enemy
army selection. This does NOT have to be the same as the best
sportsman you faced. This is based on the army selection alone
and not how it was played or how well you beat it (or it beat
you). Points awarded for Selection as follows (60 maximum). You
have almost total control over 35 of the points by turning in on
time and following the Selection Judge’s checklist.
*
0-15 for being submitted “on time”. Which is Monday August 4th
for ALL armies and by August 1st if your army has
a VDR vehicle, is a Citadel Journal army, or an “optional
rules” army. These points are non-negotiable and are either
full 15 points or none at all
*0-10 based on Selection Judge’s Discretion and is subjective to
your army type.
*0-15 based on Opponent’s rankings. Each ‘Best Selection’ vote
you get earns you 5 points.
*0-20 from the following
checklist....
5 points = Is the army legal and the math correct?
5 points = Are there more Troops choices that any other type?
5 points = Is there at least one selection from each category
(fast, heavy, elite)?
1 point = Was considerable time put into the background?
1 point = Are squad/character names fleshed out and make
sense?
1 point = Is the background of army consistent with the 40k
universe?
1 point = Is the background original?
1 points = Is the army list presented in a pleasing and easy
to understand format?
Appearance Scoring:
The breakdown that the appearance judge will be using to
award up to 60 points is as follows...
*0-20 Every (no exception) model has a ‘3 color’ paint job at
least?
*0-10 Every model is based in a matching (or logically unmatching)
fashion?
*0-5 for levels of shading and highlighting?
*0-5 for levels of blending and drybrushing?
*0-5 for conversions and representations of WYSIWYG. Judge will
be looking down wargear list in your army and finding them on
the models.
*0-15 for each ‘players pick’ you earn, you shall receive 5
points.

Army, Tactician, Hobbiest, Selection, etc.
