The AdeptiCon 2013 Allowable Imperial Armour and Apocalypse Units rules have been posted.

I like that the characters are legal from the Badab series. Are they legit as counts-as like most space marine stuff or does the army have to be painted to match the character's chapter?

Sevrin Loth here we all come!

Lookin' more and more forward to AdeptiCon, as usual!

But you gotta play Space Marines to use him....

I'm in the same boat Mike. I can't wait! But I'll be darned if releasing the DA book in January isn't going to make me have to think super hard about what I'm bringing.....

Gosh you mean one of four people would have to take like a pair of thunderfires and a combat stick and some super 2+ cover (ty tfire) scoring snipers?! Not that I'm doing it, just that I expect to see a lot of 2++ iron arm warp speed Loths out there.

I also think there's a veritable army of people waiting for January to see what color their marine models will be.

I can't take the Rapier in the 40k Friendly? Good thing I haven't bought them yet.

Sorry, that's an entry mistake. The Rapier should be allowed in all 3 events.

If you spot any other fairly obvious errors like that, make sure to point them out!

Thanks.

@Hulksmash - Just as any other special character available for the Space Marine Codex in conjunction with the 2013 AdeptiCon Model Policy. So legit counts-as, but our expectation would be individuals wishing to field these models would put forth the hobby effort to make them clear to their opponent. In other words don't take a stock special character model that has existing rules and call him Malakim Phoros for example.

And by not that you're doing it you mean "I'm totally doing it"

Sevrin Loth, ruining it for everyone!

Thanks Yak, I kept trying to wrack my brain all day to try and figure out why the Rapier was banned but the Avenger was perfectly legal. Glad to see it was an easily correctable mistake.

Is there someplace we can see the rules for some of those FW units without having to buy their books?

I had not realized that there would be FW models in the Friendly, and am not looking forward to being surprised at game time with rules I have never seen before.

Ok so this is just a little question I've got, and I apologize if this was answered elsewhere and I didn't see it, but on the first page of the allowable forgeworld units PDF, it mentions "Chimera alternate turret weapons" (turret autocannon, etc)

Are entries like this, that affect a regular unit in our codex by giving it extra gear or weapons, limited to only one per list as well? So for example, if I took 4 chimeras, only 1 could have an autocannon turret as an upgrade?

@nolzur –

I had not realized that there would be FW models in the Friendly, and am not looking forward to being surprised at game time with rules I have never seen before.

Forgeworld models were allowed in the Friendly 2012 and for 2013 are allowed with the standard AdeptiCon restriction. (due to the scarce nature of these units, each unit is considered unique (0-1) and may only be taken once)

For an overall summary a good place to start would be here: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/v/vehicle6thupdates.pdf

Imperial Armor Aeronautica and Imperial Armor 1: 2nd Edition are the latest books and cover off on the vast majority of units. So if you can source someone that has the books those are the most current.

If you have specific unit question an internet search will typically pull up enough information to be “informed” on a particular unit just make sure the information is current. Additionally, players are responsible to have a copy of the rules for the units they are using, these should be made available to you.

All that said, I think I best be clear on the spirit of the Friendly. This is not a standard format tournament and the primary focus is not about individual performance or win / loss records. This is first and foremost about the “event”, “participation” and enjoyment of your opponent and all involved. Army lists should be built with the primary objective of being fun and an enjoyable. As such it is an opportunity to field units and lists that normally would not be considered optimized as whether you win or lose does not matter.

The nature of the event is also full of surprises. From bidding wars for deathstrike missile strikes and off board artillery bombardments, to HQ and unit bounties, valiant last stands, suicide missions plus whatever else our warped and twisted minds can fathom. Whether you know the rules on a particular Forgeworld unit or not will likely be your least concerns. : )

If you or anyone else has questions about the event please contact me as it is important for all players to understand the spirit and intent of this event as it directly effects the enjoyment for all players.

@MrMoustaffa -

Good question - As it currently is constructed you are correct. I have put this out for discussion as I am not sure that was the intention or if we want to draw a distinction in those cases. On the next update we will add a clarification one way or the other.

Thanks - Hank

Muwhe, last year I REALLY appreciated our opponents having a printed out sheet of the rules they could hand us for their FW unit, in both team tourney games that I faced one.

Makes it way easier for them to show the rules to an unfamiliar opponent than having to pull out the huge hardback.

So, I VERY much hope you keep the requirement (I believe it was such) to have a sheet with the rules printed out to share with their opponent. It was great

Only downside was I would've liked to keep the sheet for reference during the game. The first guys needed it back, so I couldn't consult it. They were great chaps though

Sorry if I may interfere, but since our meta uses similar combat patrol rules...how do you handle Necron HQs? Are there any modifications (e.g. -1W for any Overlord) or are you simply not allowed to take any HQ as a Necron player?

Thanks in advance!

/e: On another issue: are you not allowed to take Annihilation Barges due to QS increasing their AV to 13 or does QS simply increase their AV to 12 instead of 13? Currently, I assume the latter...

No Forgeworld allowed in the Championship makes me sad :(. Flyers are going to run rampant.

Probably the latter, and holy crap, Annihilation Barges in 400 pts games, ouch.

We played it that way in the last combat patrol tournament and it did not seem to fair as most people do not expect a lot of vehicles, mainly transporters. At a huge tournament like Adepticon, though, people might be more experienced and know what they'll likely face.

AV 12 in a 400 point game with the killing power of Annihilation Barges is pretty terrifying. Less than half the cost of your army, and can handily destroy most things you would see in any other CP list.

Definitely going to need some plasma/melta to take care of threats like that. Well, maybe some missile spam.

This is my understanding on how we handle these at the Combat Patrol events at AdeptiCon.

HQ units are not required for combat patrol so there is no exception here. Chaos was in a similar position in previous years.

As for the barge, any vehicle upgrade that increases the av value may do so to a max of 12 (it's the second to the last bullet point under army construction rules which can be found here: http://www.adepticon.org/13rules/2013cp.pdf )

Hope that helps ..

Do you know the answer to my question above, muwhe (will you still be requiring folks to have a printed out sheet of their FW units' rules to hand to their opponent)?

@Rtides - Sorry didn't see a question in your post above ... thought it was just commentary. : )

We require players that plan to bring Imperial Armor models to do the following:

1. They have to bring a copy of the most current rules.

2. They have to make those available to their opponents for reference.

We do not mandate how players must bring a "copy" of the rules. Just that they bring them and make them available to their opponents for reference.

Okay, thanks. And yeah, I guess there wasn't actually a "question" in my question sorry about that.

Also, I'm pretty bummed that I did not register for AdeptiCon this year because a group of friends planned to run the Tough Mudder the same weekend... then changed their minds! Hoping to come out again for the team tournament in the following year, though... that was by far my best warhammer tourney experience to date.

Would be the first time in 6th edition they did if they won

Thank you for the quick reply. Reason why I was so curious is because that little FW turret upgrades note is the difference between every IG player showing up with autocannon chimeras or multilaser chimeras, and I'm sure many IG players would love to take the former

AdeptiCon 2013 Army Charity Raffle

The third annual AdeptiCon Army Charity Raffle will support the Wounded Warrior Project. 100% of the proceeds from the raffle will be donated to help honor and empower these brave veterans and service members.

This beautiful World Eaters army was masterfully painted by Brandon Palmer of GMM Studios. The models were generously provided by Chaosmailorder.com, with Dragon Forge Design kindly donating all the bases and AdeptiCon adding the essential Forge World coolness - including Angron, a Chaos Decimator, Khorne Berzerker and Terminator conversion kits, a Contemptor Dreadnought and more! And that is not all - the winner and a runner-up will also receive complete Badger Airbrush setups!

You can purchase raffle tickets in advance (available for pickup along with your Weekend Badge starting Wednesday, April 17th at 7:00 pm) or onsite at the AdeptiCon registration desk for $1.00 each. You will receive a number of bonus tickets based on the total number of tickets you purchase. This year’s prize? 2000 points of World Eaters! You can find out more information about this charity raffle in the AdeptiCon 2013 Webcart

The drawing will be held at 4:30 PM on Sunday, April 21st, 2013 in the Westin Grand Ballroom just prior to the start of the Sunday Warhammer 40K Team Tournament awards. Your ticket must be present to win (although you do not).



To see this army in its full glory, head on over to the AdeptiCon Photo Gallery

Nice, I already got some tickets from the VIG bag but I'll probably be throwing more in. It's a pretty army and a good cause.

Awesome! I will get some tickets.
