To the victor go the spoils!
In the unlikely event that your Ogre Prince kills your opponent's, then you gain a bonus 100 Victory Points.
BONUS: If you paint your own Ogre Prince then you will get 1 Tournament Point. The best painted Ogre Prince will get an EXTRA 2 Tournament Points.
Game 3 - "Caught Short around Roath Park"
As per Battleline in BRB pg144.
However, the line will be split into 3 zones each zone will be 12" Deep x 24" Wide.
The 3 zones will be Left, Middle and Right.
Before deploying you will have to roll a D6 for each unit in your army, this will determine in which zone the unit will be deployed (Each unit, character war machine etc. is rolled for separately):
1 - The unit must be held back as Reserves (As per pg149 of the BRB)
2 - Right Zone
3 - Left Zone
4-5 - Centre
6 - Roll a D6 again, on a 1-3 the unit must be held back as Reserves as per the above. However, on a 4+ they gain the Ambushers rule instead (pg79).
Game 4 - "Blessing or a Curse?"
As per Battleline in BRB pg144.
Pick 1 non-character unit (NOT optional), & Roll 2D6.
The unit gains the following:

If the unit already has the result, there are no further benefits to having the same rule twice!

The objective is to destroy more *Scoring Units than your opponent.
The player who has destroyed the most *Scoring Units will win 500 Victory Points. (Scoring Units described in Game 1).
Winning the Tournament:
Three Factors will be used to find the winner of CARDIFF CRUSADE:
➢ Firstly, we will take all your tournament points from your gaming (Max 100). Then we will add or subtract your comp score from this number.
➢ Secondly, we will add any points that you have gained for your armies painting.
➢ Finally, we will add any points that you have gained from Sportsmanship across the event. The person who has the highest score once all the numbers have been added will be considered the Overall Winner of CARDIFF CRUSADE!
Sportsmanship Points:
Sportsmanship is important in any Warhammer Event and everyone is there to enjoy the event! The Sportsmanship criteria will be based on the Triple Crown Wargaming requirements. At the end of each of your games you will each fill in a results sheet, telling us your name, what the game's final score was etc. Also, there will be 3 short questions on the bottom of this sheet. These extra 3 questions are to help us work out a sportsmanship score for each of you.
At the end of the tournament, we will add a score of between 0 and 15 additional TP's to every players score for sportsmanship. The questions that you spend answering answering at the end of each game will help us to establish this score for each of you.
The 3 questions we will ask you are:
Did your opponent try to make the game enjoyable for you both?
Was your opponent honest and fair throughout the game?
Did your opponent conduct themselves in a poor manner? Please expand below.
Painting Points:
You may attend a completely unpainted or unbased army. However, if you do not Paint that there is a possible 10 Tournaments Points you could Miss Out! Again, this is based on the Triple Crown Wargaming.
At the end of your very first game, along with your Sportsmanship card we will ask you to answer the following 3 questions about your opponent’s army:
Is it fully painted and based (including painted movement trays)?
Does the army have a consistent theme (i.e., painted the same livery, based the same etc.)?
Does the army have an awesome centre piece?
The answers to those questions will be used to score every armies painting between 0 and 10 additional TP's.
Best Painted:
On Sunday Lunchtime players who have fully painted their own army may display it for Best Painted judging. The event organisers and gaming centre staff will select the one army that we feel is the best of the best. The overall winner will be announced at the end of the event and receive a prize.
The awards:
Winner of the Triple Crown (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Sponsor TBA.
The True Highlander (The best performance of an army with no duplicate choices). Sponsor TBA.
Best Painted Army (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Sponsored by: Please see stores and contact details:

The Venue:
On the 25/26 of September the Event will be held at Firestorm Games. The address will be announced when FSG move to their new location which is still close to Cardiff City Centre.
Clarification:
➢ All current WFB FAQ's available from Games Workshop/ Forgeworld will be used at this event alongside this document. If this FAQ or comp pack contradicts any rules found in one of those FAQ's this document takes precedent.
➢ Khaine Magic will NOT be used.
➢ Open ground does count as terrain for the purposes of the Curse of Anraheir spell.
➢ Birona's Timewarp cannot increase a unit's movement value above 10, so max march would be 20 inches.
➢ The wizard who miscast cannot get a Look out Sir from damage from a miscast template.
➢ Units cannot swift reform and garrison a building in the same turn.
➢ All buildings (Including Rock of inevitability etc.) may be garrisoned by a MAXIMUM OF20 WOUNDS worth of models and are always counted as having two floors.
➢ Cannon balls MUST be able to see the spot where they are being placed when firing.
➢ Cannons cannot be fired at a target that cannot be seen (if you cannot see it, then you don't know it hiding there!)
➢ Cannon balls cannot bounce through impassable terrain or buildings. The cannon ball will however inflict hits on any unit garrisoning a building as normal.
➢ Cannons mounted on chariots, such as the Ironblaster, Skullcannon and steam tank may not pivot in the shooting phase and like all other cannons must shoot in a straight line forward from the barrel.
➢ A model in a challenge cannot be affected by any enemy breath weapons or impact hits done by models from outside the challenge.
➢ A Character model may make way at the start of any round of close combat.
➢ lroncurse Icon works against all Weapons that fire like a War Machine.
➢ Immunity to Killing Blow also gives immunity to Heroic Killing Blow.
➢ A model with Always Strike First and with equal or higher initiative than an enemy model with Always Strike First and Always Strike Last will get tore -roll attacks in close combat against that model.
➢ If the general character model is killed but his mount survives you still receive the +100vp for killing the general, and the fortitude points for slaying the general, although you do not receive the victory points for the cost of that model.
➢ If 2 characters have incompatible base sizes to the unit, they are joining then they are placed on either side of the unit. A 3rd character with an incompatible base size may not join the unit.
➢ The item Chalice of Blood and Darkness cannot be used between casting and dispelling a spell.
➢ All mounts, except ridden monsters, are ignored for leadership purposes for the Spell Treason of Tzeentch. In the case of chariots, the creatures pulling the chariot and the chariot's leadership are ignored.
➢ The Tally of Pestilence has no affect while Epide mius is held in reserve.
➢ Only 1character may charge out of a unit per phase.
➢ The Battle Standard Bearer may take mundane items available to normal heroes of their type.
➢ The -1S from the Blizzard Aura special rule for Frostheart Phoenixes does not stack.
➢ The High Magic Lore Attribute increases all Ward Saves as well as all conditional Ward Saves a model may
have. If a model only has conditional Ward Saves, then it also receives a 6+ Ward Save.
➢ The army list does not need to state any Lores for Alarielle. She chooses her Lore(s) at the start of each game as per her special rules.
➢ The army list must state if Teclis is using High Magic or Battle Magic. If you are choosing Battle Magic, then Teclis may pick his spells at the start of every game.
➢ Models with the Predatory Fighter rule may benefit from it when fighting from the second or subsequent ranks.
➢ Piranha Blade only gives Multiple Wounds (D3) Special Rule while being used in close combat.
➢ Burning Alignment and The Deliverance of ltza target all enemy units within the specified distance of the spells. This applies even if the enemy unit is engaged in close combat or in the rear/flank arc of the model casting the spell.
➢ Tiktaq'To may join units of Terradon Riders.
➢ Daemonic characters with more than 1magic weapon can only benefit from the effects of 1 weapon at a time. They must declare at the start of the player turn which weapon the character is using; any other magic weapons have no effect whatsoever for the duration of that turn.
➢ The Cauldron of Blood does not allow re-rolls on ranged attacks or spells.
➢ The army list does not need to state any Lores for Morathi. She chooses her Lore(s) at the start of each game as per her special rules.
➢ A model with Hatred (High Elves) has Hatred against all models taken from the High Elf Army Book.
➢ A shot from a doom diver war machine may never hit more than a single unit; if two units are struck by the doom diver marker the controlling player decides which one, they hit. (This is due to avoid issues over marker size etc.).
➢ The Skaven Spell Cracks Call may be cast into combat and through friendly units as it does not have a target.
➢ Other Skaven Spells may not be cast into combat unless they specifically say so or mention it in their description.
➢ A charging Skaven unit that has moved forward d6 inches as a result of a Screaming Bell allows no charge reactions.
➢ The army list does not need to state any Lores for a Skaven Grey Seer or Verminlord as they can freely mix Spells of Plague and Ruin as per their special rules.
➢ A Hellpit Abomination that has had its strength reduced or increased will use the new strength when working out any of its special attacks.
➢ When making their special movement attack, Hexwraith models measure distance moved from starting point to enemy unit they are attacking and back to a legal position. The distance moved cannot exceed their movement value or double this if they marched. They may reform inside an enemy unit.
➢ Death Shriek and Ghostly Howl are not considered shooting attacks.
➢ Units Summoned using the lore of Undeath may not select magic items, i.e., a magic sword on a champion or a magic flag; other upgrades can be selected normally.
➢ You must show your opponent your 'pool' of summonable models at the start of each game; you may not share models or borrow from a friend during the game.
➢ Summoned units are NEVER scoring units.
➢ When a ridden monster is hit with a Terrorgheist or Banshee Deathshriek attack wounds are allocated by the TARGET MODELS controlling player; divided between the mount and the rider however they see fit. (Please note: no part of the model may take more wounds that it has on its remaining).
➢ Wood Elves armies may duplicate their enchanted across more than one unit.
➢ Soul Feeder may NOT be used to gain wounds back from both Stomps and Breath weapon attacks.
Any questions, please do not HESITATE to contact us on liesfromthetabletop@gmail.com or reach out to us on Facebook. Small Disclaimer: This is my First Tournament and in fact I have not played 8th Edition for very long. However, this does not change my passion for 8th Edition, and I was sad to miss out the 8th Edition years. Hence, I want to see the ‘Old World’ to return. I have made some changes to the Triple Crown Wargaming Pack to suit the CARDIFF CRUSADE Tournament and I have made changes to help with my inexperience. I do want CARDIFF CRUSADE to run regularly so I am certainly open to changes post-tournament.
