Greetings and salutations! We are so excited to invite you back to The Gates of Gondolin, a weekend of good-hearted merriment mixed with the GBHL’s highest competitive level! Within this tome of Wisdom is all the information you will require to attend, play some toy soldiers, and have a wonderful time! This year, we’re shooting big, and letting players get ALL their toys out for the weekend!

Venue and Tickets:
This year, Gondolin will be taking place at  Cleve Lodge, a short drive from the shop for locals. For those further afield, there is a host of Airbnb / hotel options nearby as well as a large private car park so no fear of parking miles away. 

As always, we will bring the excellent 7th City service along for the ride! We pride ourselves on sourcing a diverse selection of gaming systems, supplies and items of interest. Take a look on our website and feel free to get in touch and reserve some goodies, we can deliver them to the event for you! We also specialise in the buying and selling of second-hand games, armies, models, cards; if you collect it, we probably do too! Feel free to bring along anything you would like to trade in for competitive cash or credit rates.

Army compositions:
The main Army Restrictions are as follows:

-  All attendees should construct armies of no more than 1000 points.

- No models are banned from this tournament, and there are no alliance restrictions beyond the standard rules.
- All models must be WYSIWYG and 3rd party/ proxies will not be allowed unless the model doesn’t exist, and reasonable conversion work can’t be done.

If you intend to use any form of proxy or non-Games Workshop model (converted or not) please contact me at will@7thcitycollectables.com. Finally, all models must be fully painted and based including any necessary dismounts, there will be no exceptions to this. If a TO sees unpainted models in play you will be asked to remove them from the table as a casualty.

Submission of Army Lists:
All army lists should be submitted for checking one week before the event. Submission is compulsory and errors that cannot be immediately rectified, or that have led to an in-game advantage will award -1TP per game.
All army lists should be submitted to the MESBG Tracker App where the tournament will be ran.

The results of the tournament will be submitted to the organiser of the GBHL, and the Swiss winner will receive 100 points toward their score for the 2025 GBHL season. All other participants will receive an appropriate level of points toward their GBHL score based on their final standing, calculated after the total number of attendees has been determined. This event will also be a scoring event for the GBHL central league.

Sportsmanship, Rules queries and legal publications:
Whilst this is a tournament, the objective is for everyone to have a great time! Players are always expected to behave in a civil and respectful manner to one another and generally treat each other as they would like to be treated. Players are given a single warning when their behaviour toward other players is considered unacceptable. If the behaviour persists, the player may be disqualified. There is zero tolerance for cheating. Players found to be cheating will be immediately disqualified. Players are encouraged to work out simple rules queries themselves. TOs are the sole authority at the event and will be entirely impartial in their adjudication of any rule’s disputes. Remember, if a TO is required to intervene, the TOs ruling is final. All official publications and rules that have been made available for sale to the public one week before the event will be valid for use in this tournament. By purchasing a ticket to this event, you are agreeing to the leagues conduct rules which can be found here https://thegbhl.wixsite.com/website/gbhl-rules
