The Rules

Throughout the weekend all the games will be played using the Warhammer 40,000

5th edition rulebook. For each army the players are to use the most up to dateversion of their codex. The FAQs available on the GW website will be used

alongside these rules and codexs.

All models used must be What You See Is What You Get. If in any doubt please ask

a judge before your first game. We will be walking around and asking players to

show us your models to make sure.

All models used must be citadel miniatures, or a model from another manufacturer

that is suitable for representing a citadel miniature and in the same scale.

We would very much like all players to bring a fully painted army, but given the size

of the armies used we understand that not all players will be able to achieve this. But

we will be rewarding players who have painted and based their armies. The

definition of a painted model is: the miniature is undercoated and has a minimum of

three colours applied to it in an appropriate scheme. Based is at least added texture

to the base and painted in a suitable colour (the rim may remain black for your

aesthetic preference)

All army lists are to be legible (preferably printed) and there should be enough

copies for yourself, the judges and a spare in case any get damaged. The pointslimits are to be adhered to and not exceeded, there are no excuses for this!

In the case of a rules or event dispute then a judge can be asked to intervene and

make a ruling. Players are asked that if they reach a decision in their games, they

are not to interfere with any other game with their ruling. In a similar vein if a ruling

has already been decided by a judge and a player raises the same question in a

later game, the previous ruling stands.

We understand that when your games are finished it is more than natural to stand

and watch anothers game. What is unacceptable is to sit on another players table,talk to another player about their game whilst playing or in general interfering or

encroaching in another players personal space. Please respect other players mid

game.

After a decision has been reached by a judge it is final, and not to be entered into

discussion. In the case of a rules decision, the ruling will apply for the whole event.

If any rules are broken the judges will take appropriate action to remedy the

situation, and in extreme situations we will ask players and visitors to leave.

Have fun!

Scoring and Gaming

During morning registration on the first day each player will be randomly allocated a table

(and therefore an opponent) for the first game. For every game thereafter the Swiss Pairsranking rules will be used whereby the first and second ranked teams face each other on

table one, the third and fourth face each other on table two - and so on.

For the first five games you may not face the same opposing team twice. If this situation

arises you will be assigned a new opposing team slightly above or below your ranking. In the

sixth and final game you must face the assigned opponents regardless of whether you have

played them before.

The mission and deployment type to be played will be announced by the tournament

organizing team before each game. The missions and deployments will be chosen from the

standard ones listed in the WH40K rulebook.

Victory or defeat in a game is calculated using the standard objectives from the WH40K

rulebook.

The tournament points for a win, lose or draw are as follows;

Win = 30 points

Draw = 10 point

Lose = 1 points

Concede = 0 points

Your total number of tournament points combined with competition points after six games

will determine your overall rank. If more than one player has the same number of tournament

points their overall ranking will be decided by the difference between their total number of

victory points.

Competition Scoring Points

Your Competition score is modified by the following:

+1 all models are fully painted

+1 all models are based and the army has a cohesive look

+1 army lists that are presented for inspection two working weeks in advance of the tournament.

-1 Being late for a game

-1 Illegal roster

These scores are added to every game played over the tournament, so the max possible score per

game is 33


6/8

Army Lists

You must follow the standard force organization chart for the creation of your

army. There are no restrictions on army selection beyond the chart. All armies

are to be a maximum of 1500 points, and a minimum of 1490 points.

All armies must be selected from an up to date codex (the latest addition)

published by Games Workshop.

Army lists must be sent to:

[email protected]

No later than 23rd July. Lists received after this may be subject to penalties toyour competition score.

Please ensure your name is included on your army list. Please ensure the

army list you send is the final army list you wish to use at the tournament

you will not be able to change your army list after you have submitted it!

Armies must be chosen from a legal, current edition Codex. The Night Spinner

as published on the GW website can be used in an Eldar army. Forgeworld

rules and publications cannot be used.

Judges Decisions

For reasons of health and safety the judges may have to ask players and

guests to move, leave or help in an emergency. We ask that you co-operate

as much as you are able to and make the whole event run much smoother,

and in the case of an emergency, evacuate the building in the safest fastest

way possible. At least one of the judges will be a trained first aider, but

emergency services will be called for anything more serious.

For running the event all judges decisions are final, and will not be entered

into debate. We also ask all visitors to respect this. If you do have any

concerns about how a game is played then inform a judge who will then

intervene if necessary. Please do not interfere in any game regardless of how

you feel about the situation; you may upset one or both of the players.

Anyone in breach of these very serious rules will be asked to

leave

The Awards

Awards will be given to the top three players based on a combined game

and competition score.

The army judged to be best painted by a panel of experts will also win a

a question that GW cannot answer then the Adepticon INAT FAQ will be

used to settle disputes.
