RULES FOR WARHAMMER 40K TOURNAMENT
Rule Books:
The Warhammer 40,000 SIXTH Edition Rules will be used.
The following is a list of legal army choices:
Codex: Black Templars
Codex: Blood Angels
Codex: Chaos Daemons
Codex: Chaos Space Marines
Codex: Grey Knights
Codex: Dark Angels
Codex: Dark Eldar
Codex: Eldar + Iyanden Supplement + Farsight Supplement (subject to change)
Codex: Imperial Guard
Codex: Necrons
Codex: Orks
Codex: Space Marines
Codex: Space Wolves
Codex: Tau Empire
Codex: Tyranids
Codex: Sister of Battle (White Dwarf)
MODELS AND POINTS:
1. Each player must bring an army consisting of 1850 points (but no fewer than 1825), in accordance with these rules...
2. All models must follow “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG). All weapons, war gear, and so forth must be represented on the model.
3. Pictures of conversions or "counts as" models must be emailed to ChaseLaq@gmail.com unless they have previously been approved.
4. Warlord Traits - When determining Warlord Traits, identify three tables from your Warlord’s detachment, or the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook, roll a d6, and select one trait corresponding to the result from any of the nominated trees. If your warlord comes with set traits, use these as normal instead. Certain warlord traits award additional points for accomplishing certain criteria (i.e., Legendary Fighter from the Personal Trait table of the Rulebook). If you select one of these traits, any additional points earned are worth 50 Points toward your Tiebreaker Score.
5. Psychic Powers - At the start of each game, prior to deployment, players may choose to select the psychic powers listed in their Codex as normal OR swap them for a number of rolls on the psychic disciplines tables per the Warhammer 40,000 rule book. Unless stated otherwise, you MAY NOT mix and match Codex and rule book powers.
6. Forge World Imperial Armor units (and army lists) may NOT be used in this event.
7. We will require that each participant submits an itemized army list to a Battleground Tournament Organizer on or before Monday, August 12th (roughly a week before the event). An Army Builder .pdf is preferred but a detailed text file (.txt) is acceptable. PLEASE include the number of points each upgrade and unit costs on your list.
Please email lists to ChaseLaq@gmail.com as soon as they are finalized.
8. If illegal units or other rules violations are found in a player’s army list, at a minimum, the models in violation will be removed from all subsequent play. In addition, tournament points may be deducted and/or award eligibility may be forfeited. If in doubt, please ask for clarification in advance from a Battleground Tournament Organizer.
9. Restrictions:
• This event will not use "Mysterious Terrain" (p. 125).
• This event will not use "Archotech Artefacts" (p 106).
• This event will not use "Unique Terrain" (p. 107).
• This event will not allow The Fortress of Redemption or Skyshield Landing Pad.
HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:
• Competitors will participate in FOUR (4) games over the course of the day. In each game, you will play one of the NOVA Open Primer missions and record your result (Win or Loss). Each round you will play a different opponent. Each round will last 2.5 hours.
• In the first round, players will be matched up randomly. After the first round, players will be matched up according to current rankings in the tournament (based their record and tiebreaker points) e.g., the player in first place will play the player in second place and so on. We will try our best not to pair players that come to the event together or regularly play each other in the first round.
• You will not play the same person twice.
• We will do our best to prevent a player from playing on the same table twice.
• The pairings for each round will be announced as soon as they are determined. Please be sure to arrive at your table ready to play right away.
• Slow playing will NOT be tolerated. Players are expected to complete at least 4 rounds in each game. If you suspect your opponent is slow playing PLEASE notify a Battleground staff member as soon as possible as we can not do anything about alleged slow play after the fact.
• Each game will be played on a 4' x 6' board.
