MAELSTROM MMXIX 29TH FEBRUARY- 1ST MARCH The Throne of Skulls: Maelstrom – MMXIX is a matched play event for Warhammer 40,000 using the all new Maelstrom of War missions in Chapter Approved 2019. Throne of Skulls is a casual gaming event where sportsmanship and wellpresented armies go hand in hand with your ability as a general on the battlefield tobe crowned Throne of Skulls champion. Only a player with a good attitude, clever gaming skills and a great looking army will raise the trophy. If playing games against like-minded, enthusiastic players with fully painted armies is something you aspire towards, or have always dreamed of, then come and experience a weekend like no other. Tried and tested tactics must be revised, or whole new routes to victory found. Units that seemed, at first glance, to lack the utility you desired suddenly come into their own as their abilities on the tabletop are proved invaluable.

Other Activities: Painting competitions and free entry to the Warhammer World exhibition MODEL REQUIREMENTS Playing exciting, atmospheric games with painted miniatures is a big part ofour events at Warhammer World. With this in mind, all miniatures in your collection must be one hundred per cent Citadel or Forge World miniatures, and be fully assembled and painted to a Battle Ready standard (examples can be [found at www.citadelcolour.com/](found at www.citadelcolour.com/)[ ](found at www.citadelcolour.com/)[citadel-colour-system](citadel-colour-system))[. Each model must completely and](. Each model must completely and)[ ](. Each model must completely and)accurately represent its entry on your army roster (including all weapons and equipment) . If you have painted your models in a specific way, we expect you to use the rules relevant to that scheme. For example, if you have painted your models as Salamanders, your army must have the Salamanders keyword. Similarly, if you have created your own colour scheme we expect you to create your own keyword and follow the rules for doing so in your codex or supplement. If you have used different keywords between Detachments, there must be a very clear visual difference between each Detachment. For example, if you have a Tyranid army with Detachments from both Hive Fleet Kraken and Kronos, the models in each Detachment must be clearly distinguishable from one to another at a glance, such as having a differently coloured carapace. If you are unsure whether something is clearly distinguishable, contact us via the details at the end of this pack. Finally, you need to contact us to let us know about any conversions you are planning on using, and provide us with photos of the models in question where possible. Don’t worry – we fully appreciate spectacular modelling skills, but we just want to make sure everything is super clear for your opponent so that no confusion can arise during games.
