1) Introduction
Welcome to the Triple Crown Wargaming 2023 tournament pack. We are returning for our 9th and best year
yet! As ever there will be some small changes based on the previous events, games we have played and
community feedback.
Let us introduce the Triple Crown Wargaming team, we are James Lammin, Scott McHugh, and Max Hurley;
and we will be running the event. If you have any questions that are not covered in the following pages then
feel free to get in touch at:
To start with we will briefly run through some general principles about the event and how it will run.
• This is a two day, five game Warhammer Fantasy Battles 8th edition event using 2,500 point armies
• It will be held on the 13th/14th May and 10th/11th June at St Giles Banqueting & Conference Centre in
Colchester, Essex; a very fitting 1,000-year-old church!
• We aim to have as much of an ‘out of the box’ experience as possible; although we have made one or
two changes to certain rules as well as some clarifications to attempt to make this event as enjoyable
as possible for everyone
• The event will be using a roll call comp system, all of which is included in this pack
• There are two types of tickets for this event:
o Standard Tickets – Priced at £35, these include an event exclusive T-shirt
Or
o ‘Crown’ Tickets – Priced at £45, these include an event exclusive T-shirt, dinner on Saturday
evening at the venue, access to the on-site private bar until 11.30pm Saturday night and entry

What can I use?
The following factions and army lists will be allowed at this event:
• All the latest Warhammer 8th edition Army books (Beastmen [7th edition], Bretonnia [6th edition],
Daemons of Chaos, Dark Elves, Dwarfs, High Elves, Lizardmen, Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs & Goblins, Skaven
[7th edition], The Empire, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts, Warriors of Chaos, and Wood Elves)
• The Legion of Azgorh (Chaos Dwarf) list from Tamurkhan
o The Great Host of Chaos list from Tamurkhan is NOT allowed
• The following End Times lists will NOT be allowed: Undead Legions, Legions of Chaos, The Host of the
Phoenix King, The Host of the Eternity King, The Host of Aestyrion, The Grand Legion of the
Everchosen
• The Warhammer Formations presented in End Times: Thanquol and End Times: Archaon are not
allowed
• Battle Scrolls, Scrolls of Binding and Monstrous Arcanum are allowed IF indicated in your relevant
army comp section or in the Triple Crown Wargaming 2023: Monsters Compendium
• The Magic Items found in the Monstrous Arcanum and Storm of Magic supplements may not be
taken
Third party and ‘proxy’ models are allowed as long as it is clear to your opponents what the model(s) is/are
now representing. In short, if you have made an effort to do something cool it will likely be fine. If you are planning
on using any proxy or third party models please send some photos to [email protected] ahead of
submitting your list so that we can confirm we are happy for the models to be used.
We understand certain models are hard to come by now and that may mean you need to use others; we
don’t have an issue with this. Sending us pictures ahead of time simply ensures we are completely clear on what
you want to use as what, and this helps to ensure the event runs smoothly. If you arrive with proxy/third party
models which you have not sent us pictures of prior to your list being submitted, we may ask you to remove these
and play your games without them. This NOT something we want to do, or think we will need to do, but it is
something which we think will help ensure the event is enjoyable for everyone.

2) Building Your Army
So now the fun starts, getting your army together! This is a 2,500 point, closed list event. Please be aware
that your army lists will need to have the following:
• Your Name
• The name of your faction
• Your comp score, and how that’s calculated
• Your units/characters along with their points, any upgrades they have and the points for those, which
lore of magic any wizards are using, who is your army general, and who your messenger is (see game 3)
• Your armies total points cost
Your list needs to be submitted to [email protected] by the end of 29th April 2023. Late
submission will result in a 5 Tournament Point deduction from your final score.
This event will be using the 25% Lords and Heroes allowance as per the original Warhammer Fantasy 8th
Edition rulebook (please ignore the change to this in the latest FAQ). The army selection rules in End Times:
Archaon will not be used.
All Special Characters will be allowed, this includes any End Times characters (obviously, only the ones
which fit within the 25% allowances!)
There are additional monsters/units available to your army in the Triple Crown Wargaming 2023: Monsters
Compendium. Any additional comp on these units is included in that document.

3) The Comp
As we said right at the start this event will be using a roll call comp system; however even if you are already
familiar with this system make sure you pay special attention below as we have made some changes to it.
We are aiming for that unrestricted, out of the box feeling but we want to ensure everyone has a good time
as well, so the system reflects that. It is as follows:
• You start at 0
• For every choice in your army consult the comp across the following pages (and the Monsters
Compendium if applicable)
• Add or subtract as instructed to get your final score, with the following restrictions:
o You can finish with a minus score
o You can never gain the positive score for duplicates of the same thing more than twice (e.g.
if you have 3 Lion Chariots you only get +2, not +3)
o Your score has a maximum upper limit of +10 but no lower limit, you can be a -50 if you can
fit it in.
1. Your first round opponent will not be random, but will be matched to you based on your comp
scores. Swiss pairing will match opponents after round 1.
2. At the end of the tournament your comp score will be added or subtracted as appropriate from
your gaming score to give you your final tournament score and ranking
-5-
Generic Comp (for all armies)
If your army includes no duplicate choices of any kind, you receive a bonus to your comp score. The bonus is
different for each faction and is known as the Highlander comp. Please note that the same unit entry with different
equipment DOES count as a duplicate choice for the purposes of Highlander.
The following Common Magic Items incur the following comp points:
The following criteria incur the following comp points if they are met:
• +2 if your army does not include an item which automatically dispels a spell (such as the Dispel
Scroll, Rune of Spellbreaking or the Cube of Darkness. This does not apply to Daemons of Chaos)
• +1 if your army does not contain a level 3+ wizard, but DOES contain other spell casters, spells or
bound items (this does not apply to Dwarfs)
• +3 if your army includes no magic users, spells or bound items (this does not apply to Dwarfs)
• +2 if your army does not contain a Battle Standard Bearer (this does not apply to Tomb Kings or
Vampire Counts)
Units (not characters or single models) that cost over a certain points value will incur comp points as per the list
below.
In addition, certain choices available to many armies incur the following comp points.
On the following pages you will find the individual army comp. Each page will cover a different army and
will have all the army-specific comp which applies in addition to the comp above.

5) Winning the Tournament
Three factors will be used to find the winner of the Triple Crown Wargaming Grand Tournament 2023.
• Firstly, we will take all of your tournament points from your gaming (Max 100).
• Then we will add or subtract your comp score from this number.
• Next we will add any points that you have gained for your armies painting.
• Finally, we will add any points that you have gained from sportsmanship across the event.
The person who has the highest score once all of these numbers have been crunched is the overall winner of
the Grand Tournament!
Sportsmanship Points
I think we speak for most Warhammer players when we say we all want to enjoy our games at any event.
The 'Triple' in Triple Crown Wargaming represents the fact that as mentioned before we include scores for being a
good Sport and having a Painted army as well as your gaming TP's to work out the overall winner.
So, at the end of each of your games you will each fill in a results sheet, telling us your name, what the
game's final score was etc. There will also be a second sheet with 3 short questions on it. These extra 3 questions
are to help us work out a sportsmanship score for each of you. Please remember if you are at all uncomfortable
about filling this in in front of your opponent, you can always come to us to change what you wrote or simply take
the sheet away from the table with you and fill it in elsewhere. We do not want anyone to find this element of the
event tough, and don’t forget we are always here to help!
Fortunately, Sportsmanship is usually in plentiful supply at the Grand Tournament, so we are confident you
won't have any issues! At the end of the tournament we will add a score of between 0 and 15 additional TP's to
every players score for sportsmanship. The questions that you spend a couple of minutes answering at the end of
each game will help us to establish this score for each of you, so please be honest, it could help someone win the
whole event!
• Did your opponent try to make the game enjoyable for you both?
• Was your opponent honest and fair throughout the game?
• Did your opponent conduct themselves in a good manner?
- 29 -
Most Sporting Player
In addition to the Sportsmanship questions above you will be asked to answer after each round, at the end
of round 5 on Sunday you will also be asked who your favourite opponent was. It’s very important that we get a
vote from everyone at the event as the person who receives the most votes will win the Most Sporting Player
award!
In the event of a tie the person who finished highest will win the award (It’s much more difficult to win and
be remembered for being the nice guy/girl!).
Painting Points
Whilst you may attend the Triple Crown Wargaming Grand Tournament with a completely unpainted or
based army it might be worth cracking out your brushes all the same! There are an additional 10 TP's available for
painting at this event and like the Sportsmanship points above, it could be the difference between winning and
losing the event.
During the event we will move around the venue and check out the painting on every attendee’s army. We
will look at:
The answers to those questions will be used to score every armies painting out of a possible 10 (3 marks for
each question with an additional 1 if you get YES for all three). This score will then be added to your TP’s.
Best Painted
On Sunday lunchtime players who have fully painted their own armies may display them for Best Painted
judging. The winner of the Best Painted award will be the army that the three of us collectively judge to be our
favourite on the weekend. The winner will be announced during the awards ceremony at the end of the event and
will receive a prize!
