EVENT: Warhammer 40k - Winter Escalation League

Overview

A 6-week Warhammer 40k escalation league on Sundays at 11 am (store open) at Gongaii

Games. There are seven games: two at 600 points, two at 1000, two at 2000, then a

Cataclysm game to finish. The league is built so brand-new players and veterans can play in

the same event.

• When: 11 am (store open) on 6 Sundays over the winter (dates pending store

confirmation)

• Who: anyone with a 40k army or a starter box, any faction, any experience level

• Format: drop-in play. Show up on league Sunday and play a game at that week's

points limit against any league player who's there (in Week 1 you can play both 600-

point games)

• Cost: $25 entry, all of which goes to prizes

New players don't need a full army on day one. You build it up a few hundred points at a

time and learn the rules as your army grows.

Escalation schedule

The league has six league games in three tiers, then a Cataclysm game to finish: two games

at 600 points, two at 1000 and two at 2000. You can play both 600-point games in Week 1.

The 1000-point games start in Week 2. Dates are tentative until the store confirms the

warehouse is free.Week

600-point restrictions (based on King of the Colosseum rules). These apply only to the

two 600-point games:

• No Epic Heroes

• Max 1 unit of any datasheet (max 2 for Battleline)

• No unit with Toughness above 9, so nothing tougher than a Rhino

Using 600 points instead of 500 gives elite armies like Custodes enough room for a working

list.

The schedule skips Nov 29 (Thanksgiving weekend) and Dec 27 (Christmas weekend),

when turnout is usually low. Going from 1000 to 2000 points is the biggest jump, so new

players should start building toward 2000 during the 1000-point weeks.
