Forge World units with the “40k Stamp” or units allowed for play in via the INAT IA Appendix are allowed.
Please note under no circumstances are Super Heavies, Gargantuan Creatures, Apoc formations, or Flyers allowed- EVER so don’t even try.
Each team uses two force organization. One per player.

Painted: There will be a painting score, but don’t let it discourage you from playing.
6. Bracketing
Opponents will be randomly determined for the first round. Swiss pairing (using just the gaming score) will occur in the second and final round.
7. Prizes
All entrance fee money will be “the pot”, even from those that drop out. This money will be divided among the top teams.
-All players will be able to roll for warlord traits.
-Players can team up with armies that they can ally with designated in the 6th ed. Rulebook, but they must follow the rules designated for that alliance (example: player A can play Orks and player B can play Dark Angels, but they must follow the desperate allies rules.
-Players can also both play the same army and they are treated as battle brother, but if you are allying with the same army you cannot both take the same named character. (example: both players are playing eldar, only one of them can take Eldrad)
-Both players have the option of taking an Aegis Defense Line, but no other fortifications may be used.
If you have any questions feel free to ask!
