The Essentials
How We Play
- 10 players compete across 4 rounds using Swiss pairings — opponents are matched based on current standings each round.
- All games are played using all current GW Spearhead releases, including the latest — City of Ash. If your Spearhead was released by GW, you can bring it.
- All players complete all 4 rounds — there is no elimination.
- Final standings are determined by total match points. Tiebreakers apply in order: head-to-head result, victory points differential, total victory points scored.
Scoring
- Army lists must be submitted by the deadline stated on the BCP event page. Late submissions may be penalised or rejected at the TO's discretion.
- All armies must be from an official GW Spearhead release. All releases are eligible, including City of Ash — the most recent expansion.
- Proxies are permitted if clearly identifiable and agreed with your opponent before the game.
- Painted armies are not required but are strongly encouraged — and eligible for the Best Painted award.
- The TO's ruling on any rules dispute is final during the event.
- Slow play is not acceptable. Manage your time — the TO may intervene if a game is not progressing at a reasonable pace.
