RTT Players Guide

A Simple Guide To All Our Warhammer RTTs in 2024

Hi and thank you for taking part and playing in this little organised Warhammer 40k event.

This players Guide will hopefully help everyone enjoy the day by providing all the information you need in one place. This Guide is Written for both 1000 point events and 2000 point events held on the 19th of October 2024

About this event

This is an entry level competitive event designed to help new players learn the ropes in competitive games and help them progress to bigger events while providing a good practice experience for more seasoned players of the game. We will be using and following the Games Workshop Pariah Nexus Competition event pack linked lower down for all competition rules but this event is not ITC pointed.

It is a competitive event and I wish everyone the best of luck but we are playing with relaxed rules compared to most events played in the UK, for example depending on game size you may have longer play times than ITC counterparts, and also while i am developing these RTT,s most tables won’t have quite the full compliment of scenery outlined in the GW Pariah Nexus pack but i will try my best to arrange table layouts and density close to the pack as possible.

I will also be putting on a full days worth of food and drinks for all players with the aim of being Tasty, healthy home cooked meal. This menu will be listed below

Thank you

Robert
