Front Line 2011
A Warhammer 40,000 Escalation League, Presented by KRAGS
During the coarse of 2011 KRAGS is running a Warhammer 40,000 Escalation League.

Every 6 weeks will be a new and exicting time with newly painted and expanding armies being sent to war. Hoan your skills,clean your weapons because the Front Line awaits! During the course of the league armies will be built and painted scoring points for
generalship and painting,all cilmaxing in a tournament for your Newly created army!
Pentacad Once a planet close to the Cadian Gate, with bountiful resources, this once imperial hive world slipped into the warp 5000 of year ago. With its sudden re emergence back into real space, the world is ripe for the taking... Will the imperial cleanse the world and take back what was once theirs. Will Hordes of orks
descend upon this mineral rich plant....? Or will we find this world overrun with Chaos....
Each round will be 6 weeks long and you will be required to play 1 pre assigned game by at least week 5 or have it arranged to play in week 6.
Armies will be built in increments of 250 points per 6 weeks.
Starting Roster 500 pts starts Febuary 4
First Increment 750 pts starts March 11
Second increment 1000 pts starts 22 April
Third Increment 1250 pts starts 3 June
Fourth Increment 1500 pts 15 July

New players may join at end point (note that your first point scoring game will be in the "next" increment and you will be required to have the correct size force for that stage. Games will be allocated on the 6th week of each round.
All models must be painted in at least three colours on the model. No bare metal, no bare plastic, no basecoat-only models to obtain you’re Painting points for the stage. You will either need to bring your painted list or post pictures of it by the first week of each stage for validation.
You are encouraged to play as many games as you can during the month, though only the official game will count for points.
All Rosters must be in for the next stage by the 6th week of each Increment. Rosters may change between Increments. For example the units from the 500-point list do not have to be used in 750-point list. ( Note you will still be required to have painted model for any changes you make so big changes will require a big painting effort!.)
You will need to make yourself available to play at least once every 6 weeks at KRAGS.If you can’t you may arrange to play outside the club, however if an arrangement cant be made by the 5th week you will either need to attend on the 6th week to play or forfeit this increments game. (This will count a win for your opponent)
We encourage you to post battle reports in the KRAGS forums of Westgamer.com
