The Spearhead League: Official Rules
\u200b1. Faction Selection & The “Reinforcement” Rule
\u200bPlayers must select and commit to a single Spearhead force for the duration of the league.
\u200bThe Reinforcement Rule: Players are allowed a single opportunity to swap to a different Spearhead force during the league cycle. Choosing to swap will incur a one-time penalty of -2 League Points from your leaderboard total.
\u200b2. Matchmaking & Scheduling
\u200bThe Draw: The league operates on a rolling two-week match cycle. Matchups will be drawn and announced by the league admin at the start of each cycle.
\u200bFlexible Play: Players may coordinate with their opponent to play their match at any point during store hours within that two-week window.
\u200bSpearhead Sundays: Sunday afternoons are our dedicated league days! Any player completing their official league match on a Sunday will receive 10% off Games Workshop models, paints, hobby supplies, drinks, and snacks for that day.
\u200bTime Limits & Store Closing: If a game is still ongoing as the store approaches closing time, players must finish the current battle round, stop the game, and calculate the final score from that point.
\u200b3. Model Representation
\u200bOfficial Models: Armies must be represented by official Games Workshop models.
\u200bCustomization: Third-party enhancements (such as custom bases, resin heads, or 3D-printed accessory bits) are absolutely allowed and encouraged to personalize your force.
\u200b4. League Scoring System
At the end of your match, calculate your League Points based on both your victory margin and your tactical secondary play:
\u200bMajor Victory (Win by 4+ VP): 4 League Points
\u200bMinor Victory (Win by 1-3 VP): 3 League Points
\u200bDraw: 2 League Points
\u200bLoss: 0 League Points
\u200bBattle Tactic Bonus: +1 League Point for each Battle Tactic card successfully completed during the game (Maximum of 4 League Points).
(Maximum possible score for a single match is 8 League Points).
\u200b5. Reporting & Tie-Breakers
\u200bReporting Scores: Players can report their match results directly to staff in-store or post them in the designated Discord channel. The league admin will monitor all results and publish the updated standings at the end of each cycle.
\u200bTie-Breaker: In the event of a tie on the leaderboard at the end of the league season, the overall winner will be decided by the highest total cumulative Victory Points (VP) scored across all of their matches<\/p>\n\n\n\n


First round will be drawn on Sunday 17th May. The spearhead being used must be submitted before the draw<\/p>\n\n\n
