Description
*whoops!*
Looks like we weren't ready for 4th Edition; so Blackheart Games is rehosting a last-'last' hurrah to 3rd Edition with "The Stages of Lhygma : Third (edition) Relapse"!
This is a one-day (subject to change), 2 x 1500pt 2/3-round event. The aim is to run all those wacky combos one last time with a friend to bring all the spice, jank and cheese you can muster!
~~~BCP Link:

~~~Event Specifics:
Players will sign-up with a partner of their choosing and play with the same partner for the entirety of the event.
(If you wish to play and need help finding a partner PLEASE sign-up early and contact BHG BEFORE the 30th of September & we will do our best to find you a teammate ASAP!)
The event will be run with 2 Pitched-Battle Missions from the General's Handbook '23/'24 (Antdor). The finals (Game 3) will be randomly selected on the day from the same handbook!
Player-pack of missions etc. will be published in the event discussion (MONDAY 30th SEPTEMBER) to allow lists to be built with team composition & the missions in mind.
Registration, List Submission is to completed by players through BestCoastPairings by Monday 14th of October.
Players must Check-In on BCP or notify BHG by 11:59PM Thur. 17nd October. (As a doubles event requires twice the players to prevent a bye, this gives us time to attempt to wrangle replacement players)

~~~Player Behaviour Expectations:
Players are expected to be:
• Punctual & prudent.
• Respectful & restrained.
• Happy & hygienic.
Player Gear Requirements:
• All miniatures required to field your army.
• Dice & Tape Measure.
• Faction Rules Reference + Balance Sheet (indexes/warscrolls/codex/battletome/app)
~~~Army Construction and Army Lists:
Armies must comply with the latest Errata & Matched Play requirements. All armies require a list for reference during play with points, detachments, unit sizes, options, artifacts, command traits, etc. present.
Lists for all players will be checked on the day against what has been submitted prior.
~~~Miniature Representation:
Models should all be easily recognisable as the unit they are listed as and WYSIWYG as much as possible for the sake of smooth gameplay and identification on the table. Weapon options have mild leniency if you can identify clearly the weapons that are intended to be used. (eg. In a squad, clearly the right ratios of matching weapon options for a 1-for-1 substitution)
~~~Converted/3rd Party/Scratch-built Units:
Minis should be approximately the same height & width to their standard official counterpart & on the same base/same footprint (Soul Grinder etc.). If in doubt, contact the Tournament Organiser at least 2 weeks before the event and provide images with scale for reference.
~~~Rules, Discrepancies, & Violations:
If there is ever a rule in question; (discrepancy in list, representation of minis, misleading information, questionable errors, consistent misplay etc.), give the playing the benefit of the doubt as much as is reasonable. If this continues during play, if a rule/situation etc. is in doubt with differing opinion between players, call a Judge immediately for a ruling. Failure to do so may result in a warning for both parties for intentional stalling and not following procedure. In the case of slow-play, both parties must consent to the use of a chess-clock if one is requested to be used.
~~~Ticketing & Non-attendance Policy:
Tickets are to be purchased before the date of the even from BHG in person or from the BHG webstore (link provided). Non-attendance will forfeit ticket refund if less than 48 hours notice is provided.
