EVENT OVERVIEW
Please note: This event is aimed at beginner and more casual players. Please see the BCP page for details regarding eligibility to participate.
Was your new year’s resolution to play more Kill Team? Perhaps you want to play your first ever tournament? Either way, kick off the new year with Rolling Zeros this January!
Rolling Zeros is hosting a singles event aimed at beginners and more casual players at Arcanist’s Tavern in Shoreditch on 10 January. This will be a 20-player event.
Eligible Teams
As this event is aimed at beginners / casual players, we will not use the Classified format, i.e., Octarius Season teams are eligible for play in this event.
Please select your faction through BCP by 10pm Saturday 3 January.
Terrain and Missions
This event will use Approved Ops 2025. We will use a mix of Volkus and Tomb World killzones, with map layouts taken from the 2025 Approved Ops decks. 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 as outlined in the event schedule below.
Tournament Format, Pairing & Placing Metrics
All participants will play in a three-round Swiss tournament to determine the outcome.
Round timings
Game rounds will be two hours each. Players are expected to play at a good pace to ensure games are completed in time.
However, as this is a tournament aimed at beginner and casual players, a 15-minute overrun / contingency time will be permitted at round end, at the end of which, play will be subject to a strict “dice down”. However, if players repeatedly fail to complete games within the allocated time, the Tournament Organiser may enforce the use of a chess clock for future rounds.

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.
