Rules

General Rules

• Miniatures need not be produced by any particular corporation.
• Miniatures do not need to be painted, but every miniature needs to be fully assembled with all of the appropriate pieces and properly based. (Remember that painting will be judged and contribute to the overall score)
• The 8th edition of the rules will be used along with all of the current errata and Games Workshop FAQ's found on the Games Workshop web site.
• There will be five games. The first round match ups will be randomly assigned the morning of the event. The subsequent four games will be parried using a Swiss System based on battle points with judge assigned comp grade as a second filter.
• No first-round challenges will be allowed between players.

Army list composition
The organizers are checking all lists to ensure they are legal.

The tournament organizers reserve the right to disallow any army list that is deemed to be terribly unsporting but unless an army list makes us throw up a little in our mouths when we read it, if it's legal, it's getting in the door. (Some people just stopped reading, so they will miss the important part)

But that does NOT mean that your army list is "APPROVED". It just didn't make us physically ill. Those are not the same things. No one is required to like playing against it, or to like you for bringing it. If you bring the pain, keep your gob shut when people cast their bad game votes accordingly...

Army BSB Rules
All BSB's will be allowed to take any standard equipment available to their non-BSB counterparts. For example, a Wood Elf BSB  may take an additional hand weapon or an Empire BSB may take a Great Weapon. Weapon/Armor options must be paid for as  normal.

Terrain
The LoneWolf will follow the standard rules for Line-of-Sight and terrain with the following modification:

• Units over 30 models will not be able to enter or control buildings

Magic
The following changes will apply to the magic system:

• Life Magic Dwellers Below: All characters affected by this spell may test on a strength of 6
• Further limitations are to be determined

Magic Items
The following magic items will not be allowed at the LoneWolf: 12) Book of Hoeth and 2) The Folding Tower. All other items may be used as normal.

Please note that the above rules are subject to change and will be updated up and until January 2, 2012. While there might not be many changes made, we reserve the flexibility to provide the best tournament for the participants.
