ARMY BUILDING
Each player will have their own separate 1,000 point army using no more than two Detachments. This army must be selected following the usual Matched Play rules for choosing an army as found in the Warhammer 40,000 core rule book.
Players cannot ‘share’ when building an army. For example, each player must use their own detachments, and cannot use the other player’s remaining points.
Reinforcement points apply to a player, not to the whole TEAM. For example, if player A has 200 reinforcement points set aside, player B does NOT have access to them.
Both players’ armies then combine to create an army of up to 2,000 points. We will call this combined army a TEAM. When playing your games, rules that relate to an army or player will relate to your TEAM. Here are a few common examples:
Stratagems. The same stratagem cannot be used by the same TEAM more than once during any single phase.
Psychic Focus. As each psychic power can be attempted only once per turn, this would apply to the whole TEAM .
Victory Points are scored as a TEAM.
Deployment. TEAMS alternate deploying their units. In addition, within your TEAM player A may deploy all their models before player B need start, should you wish.
Command Points. The pool of Command Points is usable by the whole TEAM.
Unique Models. Any model that is only allowed to be included once in your army is only allowed once per TEAM. For example, a TEAM may NOT have 2 x Kharn The Betrayer, even if they are from different players’ 1,000 point army.
GAMING SCORES
At the end of each game, you and your opposing team will need to record your results on your event card, and then hand in your results to the event staff at the same time. We need you to do this as promptly as possible so that the next game can be organized straight away. Each game lasts two hours and thirty minutes, and once the game ends, you will have five minutes to record your result with the events team. To determine the winner of each game, use the victory conditions as laid out in the mission.
