Special Tournament Rules

Easter Bonnets

Who didn’t love making an Easter bonnet as a child? If you wear either an Easter bonnet or a silly hat, your team will gain a re-roll all the time your bonnet/hat is on your head. Your hat must be on at the start of the drive and still on at the time you wish to use your special bonnet re-roll.

Resurrections

As Easter is a time for resurrections, Nuffle has blessed the tournament organisers with the power of resurrection! For any player that suffers a DEAD! result on the Casualty table (15/16), roll a D6. On a 2+ they are resurrected! Put them in your reserves box, they will be available for the next drive. If this fails, you may first use your apothecary (if you have one) and then your opponent may attempt to resurrect them (if their team rules allow it).

Weather Table

As this event is happening at the height of Spring, we will be using the Spring weather table from Deathzone on Page 76. We will provide copies on the day.

Special Play Cards

Each team will be dealt a Special Play card during Round 1. This card may be used during any game at the tournament and must be returned to the TO once used or at the end of the event.

If your Race has a special play deck issued by GW you will dealt a card from this racial specific deck. If not then the general special play cards will be used.
