Relic Knights - Midlands Cadre 2015 Back to School

Doctrine welcome students young and old back into the fold, get ready to be taught a thing or two...
The very first Relic Knights Midlands Cadre is just around the corner! Who will be crowned Midlands Cadre winner on the 17th October 2015? Taking place in the lovely town of Leamington Spa, UK at the Dormer Conference Centre. Cadre's go head to head in an effort to be crowned number one. This is an Endless Hunger format event but because the Doctrine have been magically charging the area they have managed to corrupt the rules a bit...


The Midlands Cadre 2015 Back to School will feature four intense rounds of fast paced objective grabbing, fighting and action. Ninja Division will kindly be offering a host of prizes for entrants who place as well as tournament only patches. This is an escalation style tournament where the battles intensify throughout the day, the round format is as follows (see the end of the post for specific details on list building).

Round 1

Readings in local space pick up huge fluctuations of esper on Semper Anticus, all factions have sent in small roaming teams to pin down the location of this anomaly in Doctrine controlled space.
