Transcript of Death or Glory Tournament
The Death or Glory tournament is a 5 round, 40K, singles event fought over two days at the
1st Ashtead Scout Hall in Ashtead, Surrey, UK. It’ll be an 1850 pts tournament with little in the way of
composition to try to stay true to the 40k rulebook.
Profits of the tournament will go to the 1st Ashtead Scout Group who have kindly allowed us to host
the tournament in their hall.
The weekend of 7/8 September 2013
1st Ashtead (Pelham) Scout Group
Woodfield
Ashtead,
Surrey
KT21 2RJ (just 5 minutes off J9 on the M25.)
Tickets are £15
Capacity: 40 players
As you can see from the map, the event is very close to Ashtead train station.
It’s also very easy to find being just off the M25 junction 9. The hall itself is opposite a church and a
pub called the woodman.
We’ve highlighted the areas where food is available, be it from local convenience stores, Tescos or
restaurants (Both the Mogul Dynasty and the Woodman both serve very good food!)
If you’re looking to stay overnight look for hotels in Leatherhead or Epsom.
If you have any questions on how to get to the event contact us at [email protected]

table and the terrain looks strange call a Referee over to re-set it for you. At the beginning of the
game you and your opponent should discuss the terrain laid out on the table. The majority of terrain
will be ruins or wooded areas and area terrain. However, if there is something weird on the board,
and you both agree to play that terrain piece as something else, by all means go ahead.

Everyone enjoys playing against nicely painted armies, especially if you have put the effort
in on your own army. During Saturday lunch time your Army will be assessed for painting.
There is a minimum standard of 3 colours, to be applied in a coherent format. Playing with
unpainted models is not allowed and you will be asked to remove these.
Please be aware every model in your army is judged – this includes Fortifications and newly
spawned/summoned models; if even only one model fails to meet a criteria you will score 0
for that section.
Painted and Based (10pts) –Your army has been painted with a minimum of 3 Colours. Bases (clear
flying bases excluded) have some form of texture + colour.
Detail (10pts) – Your Army has had some form of extra detail applied to it. Techniques
such as Inking, dry brushing and highlighting would be examples of this category.
Cohesive Scheme (10pts) – the models follow a theme and look like an army
Best Painting nomination (10pts) – it is clear you have put something extra into your army, be it well
executed conversions, advanced painting techniques or just makes the Judge go WOW! These in
effect will be the armies in the running for the best army award. There is no limit to how many
nominations will be given out.
You are required to submit your army list to: [email protected]
Deadline for Army list entries: 23:59hrs, 1 Sept 2013

Each player must give one player 6 points and another player 3 points. Sportsmanship results will
not affect the overall champion award just the Hobby Champion and the sportsmanship awards.

will be used as a tie breaker.
