Players may receive bonus points at the end of each week by meeting one or more of the following requirements during the week:

1. +1pt per game where you used a fully painted army, max +3pts per week.
2. +2pt if you won a game by Scenario victory, max +2pts per week.

4. +3pts if you completed painting a new Caster, Jack/Beast, Unit, or Solo during the week, max +3pts per week.

Games should be played using the Steamroller 2012 missions, though players may always choose to play a caster kill only mission if desired.  A copy of the Steamroller 2012 mission can be found at Huzzah.  Also, to add in a bit more fun, players may use the alternate cards and warjack/warbeast upgrades found in No Quarter #40 for Privateer Press’s Gnarls League.

In addition, after each game players may choose to attempt to gain Warjack or Warbeast bonds between their Warcasters and Warjacks or Warlocks and Warbeasts.  The rules for bonding can be found at the end of both Warmachine Prime Mk2 and Hordes Primal Mk2, please use the correct book associated with the army you are playing.  Read the rules carefully and make sure you write down any bonds you receive and make your opponent aware of what they are before each game.
