FTW Games (the home of Spikey Bits) will be hosting a 40k Team Tournament Saturday January 25th at 10 AM.
$100 minimum in store credit for prize support
So regardless of how many people show up, the prize will be at least $100 split among the four prize winners! Of course if more that 10 people show up, then the prize pot goes up as well!
Escalation, Stronghold Assault, and the Advent Calendar rules are not legal for play at this event.
You must have the exact Forge World model to it’s rules, or a very, very close proxy for it. If you are in doubt about what is allowed, or if your models is acceptable for this event, send us a message or call.
Army Restrictions
1000pts per player (1999+1 pts per side). You can only team up with another army by using the ally matrix as designated in the 40k Rulebook. Each player must follow the force organization chart in the 40k Rulebook for their 1000 points.
Each team uses two force organization. One per player.
WYSIWYG: Units must be WYSIWYG. Any model that fails to meet this requirement will be instantly removed from play (at your opponent’s discretion). Conversions and ‘counts as’ are allowed within reason (judges’ discretion).
Playing at Our Event
Due to recent tournament events the following rules are now also in place.
Each game must go at least four rounds, or else each player will receive a 0 for their score that round. Remaining times are called out throughout the round, and players will be encouraged to finish at least four turns. If your game continually going slow, please call over a judge for help.
Army lists must be produced by a validating roster program. (i.e. Army Builder, Battlescribe, etc.) and printed in a readable format for the judges. If you need to use a program to construct you list, please get here early on the day to use our Army Builder program.
Armies are not normally legal for play unless their physical book is in print for a least one month prior to the event.
You must also have a physical copy of the army book(s) or the iBook equivalent (no pirated copies here please) you are fielding with you during the event for reference!
