So, what exactly is a Long War Doubles Tournament?

Working alongside other event types, we strive to create an environment where the plethora of available events provides opportunities that appeal to ALL the different types of gamers. We believe that multiple event formats can only benefit and grow the pool of active, competitive, and casual players. A rising tide lifts all boats.

You’ll bring a 1,000-point force and team up with another person to form a 2,000-point alliance. Then, you’ll go against other teams just like yourself to see who will come out on top! – Remember that anything goes when picking what factions can be paired up with each other, but this event is more hobby-centric and less about winning than most.

Long War 40k Doubles Guidelines:

Our doubles tournament allows each player to bring 1000 point force, which you will pair with another player to form a 2000-point team.

The only hard and fast rules are that your army must be painted to a three-color minimum with basing. Each individual 1000-point army must follow the current FAQ for list construction, which differs from standard 2000-point construction.

Hobby Scoring

With a hobby score counting towards most of your points, you must’ve been curious as to what you can do to max them out, right? Well, as you can see above, it’s pretty straightforward.

We’ll be looking at the little things most people tend to look over (banners, blood marks, muddy cloaks, etc.) and the things you’d expect every tournament to grade you on (three-color minimum, etc.). We love to see conversations because we know it takes some real hobby muscles to pull off.

Get creative and make the army you have exactly how you want it to look!

Player-Policed Sportsmanship, Theme, & Army Composition 

thumbs up

One unique thing about the Long War Doubles tournament is that you get points for your sportsmanship. At the Long War Doubles, being a good person is just as important as being a good player. The format has also changed for the scorecards.

It’s a bit easier than previously, as you just have to check off one answer for Sportsmanship and Composition. Remember, The Long War Doubles isn’t a hyper-competitive tournament, so have fun and make friends!
