FAQ

Why is it called the LoneWolf 9?

Because there have been 8 tournaments held in the Dallas area in the proceedings 8 years. It’s number 9.

Who runs the LoneWolf?

David Bowman stared the LoneWolf in 2002 and is still the Director. Brett Amundson joined David in running the events in 2006, but has taken 2011 off.

Will the new Orc and Goblin book be allowed at the LW9?

Yes, or players can use the old book if they like. They just can’t use both!

Is the LoneWolf a hyper competitive environment?

No. Every tournament will be competitive, but the Win At Any Costs (WAAC) mentality gets you nowhere at the LW. The goal is to meet people and have fun, while prizes are a plus.

Who is the focus of the LoneWolf?

The average player. The LW’s rules and scoring system were designed to give every player a fair chance and to lessen the advantages that tournament veterans usually enjoy in other systems. 

How can I help sponsor the LoneWolf?

Simply helping with prize support is the best way to sponsor the event. Anything given in sponsorship goes directly to the players.

Is alcohol permitted in the gaming hall?

Yes, but it must be purchased at the cash bar located in the gaming hall. Outside food and drink are not allowed per the Convention Center.

I’m not playing, but can I come and watch?

By all means we would love for you to come and check out the fun. If you come up in the evening you are even welcome to get a game in.

What do I have to do in order to participate in the open gaming?

Bring a warhammer army. Although it will be much more fun to enter and play in the tournament itself.

Will players setup terrain before each game or will terrain be set?

Terrain will be set. That is players cannot change the layout of the terrain at the table they are assigned to. If the terrain has been pushed around then simply ask a judge to set it back up.

Will any of the specialty terrain be used, example: Scree Hill, Wizard Tower, Blood Forest, etc...?

If there are they will be part of a secinaro and those are not released until the day of the event.

Is it encouraged to submit 'trial' army lists ahead of the due date so you have a chance to make changes before the deadline?

You can submit a list as soon as you like, as there is no penalty for changing the list before the deadline. We always like getting lists in early.

In what format should army lists be submitted?

You can send lists in PDF, Word Doc, Excell, Text, HTML, or simply typed out in the body of an email. As there are potential compatibly issues with AB files, we prefer that you do not send lists in that format.

To what email address should army lists be sent?

admin@lonewolfgt.com

Are there any army lists restrictions?

Yes, they must be no more than 2500 points following the standard rules. Lists may NOT include any special or named characters. The following magic items will not be allowed: 1) Power Scroll, 2) Book of Hoeth, 3) Folding Tower.

Will the battles be scenarios from the rulebook or will they be from some other source?

The Scenarios are especially written for the LoneWolf. They are most similar to a pitch battle with minor changes and added objectives. We make sure they do not change the rules or create a totally different game, but rather enhance standard Warhammer.

I paid but my name is not marked paid on the participants list!

 If you find yourself in this situation then contact us immediately at admin@lonewolfgt.com. The website list is a reflection of a master booking keeping list and there was probably an error in transferring the information over. Rest assured that if you paid then there will be a spot for you.

How does the waiting list work?

Once the tournament is sold out, it common for players to have to drop out for one reason or another. When those spots open up, they will automatically go to the first person on the waiting list.

In order to get in the waiting list simply submit payment for a spot in advance of the spot opening up. The list is first paid first in. Naturally, if a spot does not open up and you are still on the waiting list then a full refund will be issued to you.
