EVENT OVERVIEW

This is a Themed Event - Please Read the Description Carefully to prevent Disqualification.

Our Kill Team season continues with "Save the Last Dance", presented by Rolling Zeros, on 6th September 2025 at Arcanist’s Tavern in Shoreditch. This will be a 20-player singles event. 

Eligible Teams

For this event, only teams labelled as "Octarius Season" are eligible for play.  You can find the list of teams classified as Octarius Season on Page 3 of the Approved Ops Tournament Companion within the Kill Team app. 

Rules Set

This event will be run using the most up-to-date rules set for Kill Team, including any balance data slates, errata, and FAQs.

Terrain and Missions

We will use a mix of Octarius, Chalnath, and Moroch terrain sets. This event will use the Approved Operations 2024 Tac Ops and Missions, unless the Approved Ops 2025 deck is in stores before the date of the event. Each table will be preset with a specific map layout, and players will be assigned to tables randomly. All players will play the same mission each round.

Tournament Format, Pairing & Placing Metrics 

All participants will play in a three-round Swiss tournament to determine the outcome. Game rounds will be two hours each.

Painting Requirements & Hobby Track

There are no painting requirements for this event. Conversions and proxy miniatures are accepted and strongly encouraged as long as they can be matched to the appropriate entry on the roster. If your models vary greatly from the standard kit, please contact the Tournament Organizer in advance to confirm they are easily recognizable. 

ITC Hobby Track points will be available for this event. Judging will occur during the lunch break. All models on your Kill Team’s roster must be displayed for judging. Omitting models may result in forfeiture of that event’s Hobby Track points. One extra model (e.g., vehicle or monster) may be included for display.

Outside Food & Drink is Strictly Prohibited

A space like the Arcanists Tavern can only survive on supplementary bar sales, so every pound you spend here will make sure that we can host these tournaments for you for a long time to come.  If you have a medical condition that requires you to take breaks for food or drinks, please speak to the Tournament Organizer to arrange extra time for your journeys outdoors.
