Call to Arms: TAU challenge - Rules & regulations
The Details:
Entry Fee: $120.00
What You Get: $140.00 in TAU miniatures (your choice and no, that is not a typo: the deal is yours just for signing up for the challenge), along with a chance for earning more prizes from the victory pool (see below).
Challenge Start Date: Monday, April 8th (you may register at any time)
Registration Window Closes: Sunday, May 19th
Challenge End Date: Sunday, June 16th, 11:00am
Challenge Rules: Each player must try to complete a Codex legal, 1,000 pt. TAU army by the contest end date. Armies should be assembled, painted (3 color rule) and based in order to be considered complete. Armies can be composed from miniatures obtained with the entry fee (see above) as well as any unpainted miniatures already in the player's possession or miniatures purchased at a later date. Unpainted status must be verified beforehand by one of our Wizards.
In addition, contest participants will be required to submit at least two progress reports for inclusion into our Call to Arms story by the challenge end date. Progress reports are simple updates on how your army is progressing, and can include pictures if desired. Participants can submit their journal entries here.
Victory Pool: The Little Shop of Magic will add $15.00 in Dragon's Dough to the Victory Pool for each participant in the challenge. Contestants that complete their force (see guidelines above) and submit their required journal entries by the challenge end date will be given an equal share of the Victory Pool.
Final Showdown: On June 16th, the Little Shop of Magic will host a small tournament or mega-battle in which the victorious participants will have an opportunity to test their armies against a varied group of opponents. In addition, each victorious army will be photographed for a special 'armies on parade' section of our website's gallery.
