Flatcon 2026

Event Rules

You need to be registered through flatcon to participate in this event.

Each Player will bring a valid Spearhead army. This is a preconstructed format, and you must bring the models or appropriate counts-as, as listed in the model policy.

Results will be recorded using the Best Coast Pairings app, all players must have access to this app for results reporting

The tournament will be 4 rounds.

Models are not required to be painted to participate, however models must be painted to a 3 color standard to be eligible for any painting awards.

Model Policy:

As Spearhead is a preconstructed format, the standards for WYSIWYGs will be relaxed. If you don't have the exact models or loadout of your faction's Spearhead, it is OK to bring alternative builds or loadouts from a same or similar kit. For Example:

Using a kitbashed, custom Hero as your hero for Spearhead is OK as long as it is on the correct base size.

Using alternate builds or units from your Spearhead is OK, as long as you use the correct Spearhead rules. For example, it is fine to use Kroxigor Warspawned or a Troglodon in the Seraphon Spearhead if you build those instead of standard Kroxigors or a Carnosaur, but you must use the correct warscrolls.

Using 'Close enough' models is fine if you prefer different models in the same faction or they are similar enough. For example, using Dreadspears or Hammerers instead of Steelhelms for Cities of Sigmar, or using a Scinari Enlightener or Scinari Calligrave instead of a Scinari Cathallar for Lumineth. This rule is up to TO discretion. If you are worried your models are not 'close enough', reach out to the TO for approval.

Using a model from another faction entirely, on an incorrect base size, or does not match the unit type very well is NOT OK

Examples of unacceptable models would be: using unconverted Gutrippaz as Grimghast Reapers (wrong faction). Using Nagash as a Vampire Lord (wrong base size), using Namarti Reavers for Namarti Thralls (does not match the substituted unit's role well).

All models must be on the correct base size.

No Rules released after 10/04/2026 will be allowed.
