Hey all! The
40k team championships will be on June 14th 2013!
While I have tried to be comprehensive here, I'm sure you will all have questions, so comment and let me know, I will answer as best I can!
We are using the FULL 6th edition rules, with a few exceptions. No mysterious terrain or objectives to keep things moving, and fortifications are limited to the Aegis line and accessories for it. Any missions that call for variable amounts of objectives will automatically have the maximum number possible.
1000 points per player in 2 player teams. These teams are formed the day of the tournament at sign in, just let us know who your partner will be, or if you need a team mate. We will have at least one spoiler army available if we get an odd number of players.
The allies chart in the core rule book WILL determine any effects and wargear that effect your team and cross to your partner's army, so having a good alliance is beneficial to you.
Forgeworld Imperial armour units that are stamped as "
40k approved" are allowed as a 0-1 rare selection in your army. This means only 1 of each type, not 0-1 units. So you CAN have more than one, they just need to be different models/units. (ie. only one caestus assault ram, but the same army can have a deathwind drop pod, but NOT a second caestus. Also, any proxies for these models MUST be cleared in advance and be obvious what they are, no plastic drop pods used as lucius or deathstorm pods. No regular drednoughts used as contemptors. The models MUST be obviously not the normal version. We can and will disallow unclear conversion work from a game if we have complaints or concerns about it, so be prepared people!
1
HQ and 1 Troop minimum required, and only a single force organization chart per player, 2 to a team.
NO allies by a single player, that's what your partner is for!
Each mission will have 3 levels of scoring. The primary objective, kill points, and secondary objectives. The primary objectives and kill points are win/loss/draw, not by count. So you either have more kill points and win the kill point objective, or you lose it, not add your kill points to your total. W/L/D rules here. The secondary objectives DO add a single point each to your total here, so you can win objectives, lose kill points and then add the secondary objective points as a tie breaker. We will track the secondary objectives as a means to a tie breaker in scoring at the end of the tournament as needed, so KEEP TRACK!
You will need to have the following with you the day of the tournament:
5 PRINTED copies of your army list, one for you, one for opponents, and one for us to judge from
army book, rule book, dice templates tape measure (duh)
Any Imperial Armour units used MUST have a copy of the Imperial armour volume used on hand, no photocopies please. If the unit you use is in multiple versions of the
IA books, the most recently published version is the correct one.
Your army needs to be painted to a three color minimum. We won't turn you away for not being painted, but you wont win army awards without it!
I plan on registration from 9:30am to 10am and dice rolling by 10:30am, so be prompt!
I look forward to seeing you all there!!
) they can ally but be prepared for the "come the apocalypse" with anything but other tyranids. This means only Tyranids as allies for tyranids, sorry!
) are stuck with only tyranids as allies. Our local Meta has proven over and over that they really are a strong book, that can still compete when played well.
