Here we go again! Due to the pandemic, this tournament will be limited to 20 players maximum so that we can follow all the rules, social distancing etc. You will be required to wear a mask during the entirety of the tournament. No eating in the back during lunch (we'll give you an hour for lunch so you have lots of time as we're doing 2 hour rounds as it's only 1500 points). Once your game is done, have to leave the back play area etc. You know, all the rules that keep us safe and keep Nexus open! DATE: Saturday June 19th
Dice roll at 9:30 AM, doors open at 9:00 AM. 3 games for the day. (plus there is our traditional boss fight which happens at the end!) Entry fee: $20 Each round is two hours. Tournament Rules
1,500 point tournament. All armies must be battleforged. Each army begins with 12 Command Points. (subtracting from this initial amount for extra detachments etc.) No Titanic units, Supreme Command, Lord of Wars or Primarchs.
You MUST include as your warlord a named SPECIAL CHARACTER from your relevant army book. It is their great crusade! So it’s about this character’s personal retinue of awesome they are bringing along for their personal crusade. (ie: if you play tyranids you’re going to have to include either deathleaper, Old one eye, or the swarmlord in your list and they must be your warlord) If your codex is one of the two currently with no named special characters, the following may be used (only ONE per army however – it’s still their great crusade!): Harlequins: the solitaire Genestealer Cult: the patriarch SIGN UP LINK HERE: kingstonnexus.ca/events/warhammer-40k-great-crusade-2021/

No Titanic units, Supreme Command, Lord of Wars or Primarchs. Is an exception being made for Shadowsun, or The Eight?

I ALWAYS forget shadowsun is a supreme command... she's definitely NOT the same power level as a primarch! oh man.. the eight are so terrible. Yes you can bring them if you really want to. No one ever does, so I'm not sure we NEED an exception, but sure.. go for it if you really want that level of frustration on yourself.

Is this supposed to be a friendly tournament, or something like Club Champs, in which it is win at all costs?
I can't join anyway, as all I have assembled is 5 Chaos Terminators, but I'm curious to know for future years, in case I'd be able to join. (Also, I tend to work weekends, and I doubt work would let me take time off to play in a Warhammer tournament. It's possible in theory I guess, due to it being shift work, but I'd still worry)

This is a fun narrative tournament... not a win at all costs. No trophy for winning. Just a round of applause and a crisp covid high five. All the prizes are draw prizes, which you don't have to win even a single game to get.
The tournament is narrative - it's about your special character's great crusade. Which is why it's full of fun thematic cool armies and you have to have a special character lead your army.
