WARLORDS
Since it is possible to field a Combat Patrol army without purchasing an HQ choice, your army might be left without an obvious
Warlord. In this case, your Warlord would be the most senior ranking model in your army. If two models qualify for this position
due to equal rank, then the player may choose which one is considered the army's Warlord. This model is considered to issue
orders may confer its Leadership bonus to friendly units.
Warlord Traits WILL NOT be used in the Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol event. Some missions will offer Warlords certain abilities,
but these will be mission specific.
SCENARIOS & SCORING
There are four scenarios that will be used during the tournament. There will be a total of 30 Battle Points in each scenario. These
Battle Points will come from a combination of mission objectives (usually 2 or 3) and tactical bonuses.
Players will earn points towards their overall score as follows:
Category Possible Points %
Battle 120 points 56%
Appearance 48 points 22%
Sportsmanship 48 points 22%
Favorites Votes Used as tiebreakers
BEWARE ODDITIES
When you play Combat Patrol, it's important to remember that these games approach Warhammer 40,000 in a way that was not
originally conceived by the designers. This means odd stuff will crop up which you need to sort out 'on the fly'. The best way to
resolve these issues is to ask yourself the following:
1. Is there any existing Warhammer 40,000 rule you can use as a precedent?
2. What is the most reasonable thing that would happen in this situation?
3. What are the two most likely outcomes and then roll a D6: 1-3 = Go with solution 1; 4-6 = Go with solution 2.
4. If all else fails, ask a judge, however, the judge's decision is final.
AWARDS
• Combat Patrol Champion: The player with the highest overall score at the end of all four games. Player's that had other people paint their army, cannot win this award.
• Combat Patrol General: The player with the highest number of Battle Points at the end of all four games.
• Combat Patrol Artisan: The player with the highest Appearance score. Player's that didn't paint their own army, cannot win this. Favorite Patrol votes as a tiebreaker.
• Combat Patrol Hero: The player with the highest Sportsmanship score. Favorite Opponent votes as a tiebreaker.
