Guardcon Comp Restrictions

The Players Pack for Guardcon is up on the Cityguard Forum and included are the comp restrictions. Again it is a Hard Cap system (hooray) with what look like reasonably light restrictions for most armies.


I have cut and paste the restrictions (below) for those that don’t venture north of the wall into the wastes that are Auckland.

The restrictions are pretty light for most armies. I'm personally not convinced by the restrictions on the CoC for some armies. I think that you could restrict it to model on foot only - and that would get rid of the Pegasus/Disk builds which seem to being targetted.

My only concern on the pack is the restriction on Big Magic. I think that giving characters a Look Out Sir encourages Death Star builds. The NZ scene has not cottoned on to adding MR3 to their death stars yet but when they do and it is coupled with a LOS against big spells it will make them almost impervious to all but other death stars.



General Restrictions:

• 2400pt: No special or named characters allowed.

• Max of 12 power dice or dispel dice may be used, stored or otherwise rolled by each player in each magic phase. The basic premise is that if it looks like a power dice and acts like a power dice it counts as power dice, even if it is called something else. (eg: Mushroom dice etc.)

• Max of +2 power dice or dispel dice may be generated, recovered from storage or otherwise created by each player in each magic phase. Dice generated from channel attempts or one use items are exempt from this restriction. (Scrolls count as 1 DD).

• You may have units/abilities that actually would generate more than 2 extra dice, but any excess dice are lost.

• Maximum unit size 40 and 500points.

• Maximum of three units per army with the “fly” rule.

• An army may have up to 4 war machines and template weapons. Warmachines that use a template count as a single choice in this regard. All template weapons (from magic items, abilities, etc.) count towards this limit, except for spells.

• Characters affected by the following spells that would instantly remove it from the table only take one wound if it would normally benefit from a look out sir roll from being part of a unit. The Dreaded 13th, Infernal Gateway and Final Transmutation spells. This does not apply if you are a lone character outside of a unit.

Banned Items:

• The magic item “Fozzrik’s Folding Fortress” may not be taken.

Note: The TO reserves the right to Veto lists deemed to be too offensive.
