Date: Sunday, November 13, 2011
Entry fee: $10
Point level: 3000pts per person
Start time: 10am
Once per year Heroes on Paper runs a HUGE Warhammer 40k event — and this November it’s going to be a store-wide Apocalypse battle!
Each player may field up to 3000pts. We’re using standard rules (NO Apoc strategems, etc.), with the following exceptions: no Force Organization (you may field units from multiple armies); and you MAY field super-heavies, but they cost 50% MORE points than listed.
Players who don’t have 3000pts can still participate by teaming up! In that case the entry fee is $10 per team and one player must be nominated as general. The general will have the final say in all team decisions.
The store will split all players into two teams. We’ll be providing pizza to everyone who enters the event, and we’ll be awarding prizes to best general, best sportsman and coolest overall army.
The goal of an escalation league is for you to begin with a small force and add to it in small increments as time passes. Each week we’ll add 250pts to the size of our battles. Unlike previous escalation leagues, this time around you’re allowed to add or remove units at your discretion — you only have to stick with the same army from week to week!
Each week of the Escalation League lasts Sunday through Saturday. All players will be assigned their opponents on Sunday for the following week, and it will be up to those players to set a date and time for their League game if they’re not available on Sunday, which is our official League day. While games do not have to be played on Sundays, they do have to be played at Heroes on Paper.
Each League game that you play earns you points. Points are awarded as follows:
Each player will play two Escalation League games against the one opponent each week.
Entry Fees and Prize Support
This Escalation League has a one-time entry fee of $10, due on the first day of League play. Prize support will
be distributed in the form of store credit; 100% of each entry fee will be added to the prize pool and distributed
as follows:
We do reserve the right to alter the prize structure prior to the end of the league.

Heroes on Paper wants your spare WARHAMMER 40,000 bits, and we’re offering trades on ALL of our plastic boxed sets for them!
From today through Sunday, August 28, you can bring in your clipped Warhammer 40k bits and exchange them for store credit toward plastic boxed sets in the 40k line.
We’re using a one-size-fits-all approach to trade-ins; fill up the Bits Cup at the counter and get $5 off the purchase of any boxed item. Fill it up twice and get $10 off; we’re not placing a strict limit on how many bits you can trade in or what the maximum discount amount will be, but we do reserve the right to set that limit at any time and for any reason.
THE RULES:
All bits must be plastic and come from the Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 line. All sprues must be completely removed prior to trade-ins; if you try to pad your trade-in with sprues you’ll be going home without a discount.
Bits may be unpainted, primed, or fully painted; as long as they’re recognizable and in usable condition we’ll accept them.
