WFB - Escalation League

Our gaming community is spread out, we live on an Island made up of many small communities and really only two of any major consequence, as a result regular scheduled game nights and events are harder to hold. Well we decided to fix that. Instead of only getting together two or three times a year in any sizable gathering we have decided to start an escalation league (open to anyone who wants to participate).


Being an organizational type, that of course meant I just took over and made up the rules and told everyone what we are going to do and we started as of today.

Here's our rules, and heck if you want to participate as a way to kick yourself into get back into Fantasy or as a way to start feel free no matter where in the world you live (obviously you wouldn't be able to participate in the tournaments but it is really the painting and having an army table ready that's the point)

Warhammer Fantasy Escalation League
Hosted by Kippers’ Wargaming

Object: to have a fully assembled and painted 2500 point Fantasy army by end of 2014

How to participate: if you want to participate in the league contact me on Facebook or at kippersmelee@gmail.com. Participants will select one army type to build and paint for the league and inform me what it will be. Participants will be asked to paint 250 points each month (totalling 500 points each stage), a tournament will complete each stage. Only fully painted models can be used in tournaments—tournaments will be open to league and non-league players. If you do not complete your painting project on time you may still continue with the league just try to catch up. Points will be assigned each stage (breakdown below), at the end of Stage 5 a final tally will determine the winner of the league. Top participant who fully completes their 2500 points will receive 40% of prize pool, favorite army as voted at the end 30%, raffle draw 30%. Because we do not all live in the same area progress reports will be due the second Saturday of each month via email to kippersmelee@gmail.com and will be posted on Jen’s blog.

Cost: Free to joint he league, we will have tournaments every two months (entry will be $20 with a portion of that going to the individual tournament prize pool and a portion to the league prize pool)
