March 20-21: The Warmaster's Fantasy Challenge
Introducing the Tiered System - UPDATED DECEMBER 9, 2009
Over the last six months, my discussions with players from all over the province have resulted in a clear message: not all books are built equally in the world of Warhammer Fantasy. This seems to be leading towards a lack of variety on the tournament scene.
This trend has led us to the conclusion that things must change if we want variety at the event. Therefore the Warmaster’s Council has made the decision to adopt a form of the European Team Championship tiered approach to tournament play.
How the tiers system works:
1. There are three tiers.
2. Each tier has a different points allowance associated with it.
3. Armies within each tier have the same points allowance.
4. The current tiers are as follows:
a. Tier 1 – 1000 Points for the Doubles; 2000 Points for the Singles; The armies in this tier are as follows:
Daemons of Chaos
Vampire Counts
b. Tier 2 – 1100 Points for the Doubles; 2250 Points for the Singles; The armies in this tier are as follows:
Beastmen
Bretonnia
Chaos Dwarfs
Dark Elves
Dwarfs
Empire
High Elves
Lizardmen
Orcs and Goblins
Tomb Kings
Warriors of Chaos
Wood Elves
Skaven
c. Tier 3 – 1200 Points for the Doubles; 2500 Points for the Singles; The armies in this tier are as follows
Dogs of War
Ogre Kingdoms
The Plan Moving Forward
We ask those who intend to attend the Fantasy Challenge on March 20-21, 2010 to spend the next little while play-testing their armies at these proposed tiers. There are several army books that are on the knife-edge of being in one tier or another. We want feedback on the following questions:
1. Should any of High Elves, Dark Elves, or Lizardmen be placed in Tier 1?
2. Should any of the Tier 3 armies be moved into Tier 2?
3. Where do the new Skaven fit within the tiers?
Any feedback received before Feb 1, 2010, will be taken into consideration for the final tiers, at which time the final decisions will be made.
Thank you in advance for your insights and observations.
