While scouting the sector for threats, you and your team come across a forlorn space hulk that looks to still be salvageable. Intrigued, you approach your new prize. After scanning the massive debris for hidden weapon systems you deem it okay to board. Your scout ship latches on, drills an entrance around your ship's personnel exit hatch, and opens the way for your crew. The hallway in front of you is dark, lit by what seems to be a failing system, barely showing you the path forward. You and your team embark. Taking the next corridor, you feel a massive vibration quake through the hulking mass. You grip the handle of your gun tighter because you know instinctively what happened… you have company. While quickly signaling to your team to get into formation, a second much larger and unforgettable shudder rips through the metal walls. Did this pile of rubble just get pulled into the warp?!
This event rips your team out of space and places them into the All’ Hallow-Dark universe, where you and your unlikely enemies must do whatever you can to make it through what the Hallow-Dark’s warp has to offer!

Attendees are expected to be registered with, and have the Best Coast Pairings app functioning before the day of the event. Please visit their website for information on how to get started.
Roster Submission
In order to participate, attendees must submit their Matched Roster in text form via the Best Coast Pairings (BCP) app, using the same email which was used when purchasing an event ticket at least one week prior to the event. This is in addition to the two physical copies required the day of the event.
Kill Team Composition
Attendees will be required to have a roster of up to 20 operatives, plus three barricades to play in this event. Details on construction of a Kill Team can be found on page 90 of the Kill Team Core Book. Kill Team barricades can be obtained from the Kill Team Essentials kit, or any box set released by Games Workshop (e.g., Octarius, Nachmund, etc.). Although it is not recommended, players may scratch-build their own barricades, as long as they maintain the same size and shape as those produced by Games Workshop.
Scoring
At the end of each game, attendees will use BCP to record their results. In the event of tie breakers, the following will be used:
Total number of game wins
Overall victory points scored during the event
Pairings
All Kill Team Cascadia events utilize BCP to record scores, generate pairs, and assign tables. Attendees must have BCP installed and functioning prior to check-in. First round opponents will be randomly determined. Following rounds will be determined using a swiss pairing system, utilizing the BCP app. If attendees ever find themselves facing repeat opponents, please reach out to a tournament organizer.

The narrative missions will be using the Into The Dark CQC rules, however any new releases, balance dataslates, FAQ’s, or errata published AFTER October 15th will not be used.
Modeling and Painting
Creating a narrative experience with highly detailed, painted models as an intrinsic component of the Warhammer franchise. With that in mind, it is strongly recommended that attendees use models made by Games Workshop or its affiliate Forge World (excluding basing and scratch-built miniatures). Each model must accurately represent the operative which it represents on the attendee’s Matched Roster. Additionally, models may not be modified in such a way so as to gain a benefit from the converted model/proxy, and should accurately reflect the most current version of the model. We request that scratch-built, heavily converted, third-party, and 3D printed models be submitted to a Kill Team Cascadia tournament organizer for approval at least two weeks prior to the event by emailing photos to events@killteamcascadia.com or during in person registration.
In order to provide the best experience for all attendees and spectators, it is required for attendees to fully assemble their models, and have them painted to at least a Battle Ready standard. Examples of such standards can be seen below.
Inclusivity and Hate Speech Policy
The members of KTC strive to grow and improve the community by creating events that are as welcoming and inclusive as possible. It is the policy of KTC not to discriminate based on ethnicity, gender orientation, sexual orientation, faith, or political views. While KTC recognizes the established fiction of the Warhammer 40,000 universe as it is, it is important to recognize that this fictional universe is satirical and not to be aspired to. As such, it is the policy of KTC that all forms of hate speech are prohibited.This includes, but is not limited to: verbal speech, physical gestures, attire expressing/portraying hate speech or discrimination, converting models to embody/portray members of hate/fringe groups both past and/or present, etc. Failure to adhere to these simple guidelines will result in all games counted as automatic losses in the BCP app, immediate expulsion from the event without ticket refund, and a subsequent ban at all future KTC-sponsored events.
