Now this came up at my FLGS recently. The 'Ard boyz rules make no mention about needing a fully painted 3 color minimum army. So does that mean it allows non-painted figs to be used?! When this came up my only reply was, "I'm sure that GW has it as a universal rule?" So... whats the dealio?!

My local store specifically said that the models don't have to all be painted.

Simply put: Painted models are not required to play in the Ard Boyz event.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby. |

Last year there was no painting requirement. I have not seen any change. 4 of my 6 opponents did not have painted armies.

As I recall from the last 'Ardboys tourney, the only requirements for the models were WYSIWYG & that they had to be fully assembled.
I still played against proxies & armless models.

Just to be redundant, my FLGS also said unpainted models are acceptable. This is good considering that the black reach boxed set arrives only a week before the tournament.

unpaints last time and the norm for my FLGS. Everyone paints kinda slow, so there is no requirement at tourneys there for paint. Strangely enough, you don't face many armies at all that remain unpainted for too awful long.

We had none of this at our tournament, because the players knew they couldn't use the models. Regionals was another matter entirely. Proxies, unbuilt models, from several people. We spent the first half hour walking around, explaining the obvious, and making people redo lists with legal models. Then we got to the last guy. He was actually building orks from two boxes he had bought that morning. The stuff he was playing round one with was bases, sometimes with legs glued on. And this was at the regional level, unbelievable. We put in a ringer for round 2, and had to disqualify him. Almost his entire army was proxy, or had no head/arms/weapons/wheels.

The FLGS I worked at in Phoenix had the regional 'ard Boys the first year GW 'ran' them, and we had no proxies or unpainted models that I remember. Just a couple personality conflicts between a couple players. One of the best tournaments I've had the pleasure of organising.

While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

The rule packet actually mandates that all models must be WYSIWYG, but that paint is not required. So no proxies (though they go on to list what is allowed), but the grey army of unprimed/unpainted is fine.
Luckily the FLGS I play at has players that pretty much only field painted armies. And anything new doesn't stay unpainted for long.
