The end of this week sees the culumination of the Pariah Nexus Incursion Series. Four qualifying events that have narrowed down to eight players vying for the trophy.
It's
been an interesting set of tournaments, with thirtenn factions
appearing and several Codex releases. It's given the successful Generals a lot to think about. They
were sent this briefing -
"Welcome, victorious Generals, to the finals of the Pariah Nexus Incursion
series. After four events and 20 unique players, the field has whittled down to
just the eight of you. Now we shall see who gets to walk away with the trophy,
and the bragging rights.
The event is on Saturday 29th June 2024, at Neutral Ground.
Round One will commence at 11am, getting there earlier will give you more time
to set up and prepare for kick-off. Matches will be 2 and a half hours long.
End of time procedure will be to finish the Battle Round and score final points
then. Concessions will require calling me over to adjudicate the final points
scored.
Prizes will be store credit for the top 50% (top 4) and a trophy for first
place.
Pairings will be handled via a BCP, with the first round
paired via seeding from the four qualifiers. This seeding has been generated
via an ELO system.
As Pariah Nexus draws to a close in June, I will require lists to be finalised
and sent to me in advance. With the event being on the 29th, I will want the
lists sent to me by the 22nd. This will give me time to double-check the
correct points are being used. I will then publish the factions that everyone
is playing once they have all been checked. This will give you some time to
make battle plans with the force you have submitted. Unless I spot an error and
ask you to change something, the list is set in stone and cannot be changed.
The missions for the Finals will be –
D – Deploy Servo Skulls – Chilling Rain – Search and Destroy
I – Take and Hold – Hidden Supplies – Hammer and Anvil
O – Vital Ground – Chilling Rain – Crucible of Battle
The order of these missions will be revealed during the
player briefing on the day.
Late submission of your list will incur victory point penalties, as will errors
on the list. Make sure it’s correct before you submit it. Also, I will be
locking in any Balance Dataslate/Codex/other material release changes on the 15th
of June. Anything after this won’t be used for the Finals. This gives you a
week to react to any potential changes.
If you cannot attend the finals, let me know ASAP so that I can offer your spot
to the next eligible player, as determined by their ELO ranking.
Good luck Generals, and see you on the 29th of June."
The lists are in, the Generals have seen them and now it's time to make them publicso the rampant speculation can begin.
