Dewayne’s Backroom Brawl 3

Hello Kill Teamers! Our third event is upon us. This will be a no frill solo event. Bring your A game, but as always: don’t be that guy. 

This is a free event, so no buy-in is necessary, just show up, give your best and have fun.

The event will be on Sunday, April 6 beginning at 11:30am.

(Generic Rules)

These events will be 3 rounds, lasting 1.5 hours due to time constraints, so please learn your teams well enough to play quickly. We generally have some time for wiggle room, but plan for 1.5 hours. If I can find a way to extend the allotted play time, I will. Submit your kill teams when you sign up. In-date classified teams only. That isn’t exactly relevant and won’t be for a while, but when it comes up, well...here’s your heads up.

Current ops cards are to be used. If you don’t have them, the use of apps and printouts is fine as long as the information on them is correct. Same goes for team rules. With the warhammer app being free, I don’t expect this to be an issue moving forward. If there is a discrepancy between what is on your card or print out and what is in the app, the officially supported app takes precedence except, in the unlikely situation there is an official rules update/FAQ and they just haven’t updated the app yet.

The maps presently in our rotation are Octarius, ITD, Bheta Decima, and Volkus. They may not all be present at any given event, but be prepared for them. They will be set up prior to any games using competitively minded layouts either pre-established in tournament map packs or designed in a symmetrical or equitable manner. 

Painted minis are always appreciated, but never mandated. Play what you have and enjoy. Don’t worry about painting if you don't want to or don’t have the time, however we’ll try to have a “best painted” thing, so keep that in mind. 

Please attempt to avoid conceding games where possible. I get it, there are times when you just aren’t having fun. If that happens, I think the goal of playing isn’t being met and we can work to address that. That said, it messes with scoring and may lead to someone either doing better than they would have if you played it out. If you concede a game, the other player will automatically max their remaining primary and any objectives that are still possible to complete without enemies on the board.

Regarding problem teams. The game isn’t exactly in the best state of balance at the moment, but things have been getting better. Hopefully, that will continue to improve with rules updates, but right now there are a handful of teams that are still over performing. We don’t exactly play at the level that those stats are being collected at, but please be aware when you are making your team selections. I’m not banning anything unless it becomes a very obvious problem locally, but try not to be “that guy”. 

A noted problem exists with the tallest point on Volkus being overwhelmingly good. To remedy this, models on that point will be treated as having the Exposed rule. 

These rules are being treated as a living document. If a new rule needs to be added or one needs to be removed or revised, it will be. Please message me with any questions so I can clarify things ahead of time.
