II - Standard Rules for Warhammer 40k Tournaments
-
You must use the same army list for each game.
-
All models must be painted and based, meaning that all models are required to have at least three colors on them. At the bare minimum, bases must be painted if they are not flocked. If your models are not painted, they may not be used in this tournament.
All models must be Citadel, Marauder, Fanatic, or Forge World models. Forge World models may only be used to represent entries from Valid Codexes. Vehicles from the Imperial Armour books (Including Imperial Armour II: Apocolypse) are not permitted. If there is any doubt, please ask a judge prior to the first round of play, or via email prior to the event.
This tournament is intended for fun, and poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated. You must conduct yourself in a manner that will not bring the hobby into disrepute. Conduct yourself as you would have your opponents conduct themselves.
What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). If you wish to use an item, it must be represented on the figure. Army list choices whose models aren't available must be converted. Remember, if you are in doubt about a conversion you have done, you probably shouldn't use it! We don't want you showing up with something you can't use!
You must bring all materials needed to play including dice, measuring devices, templates, models, and any rules that you will be using. Also bring 3 copies of your list (1 to turn into the GM, 1 for your opponent, and 1 for your personal reference).
New Codexes or Army books - When a new Codex or Army book is published, you must use it if it comes out 1 month or more prior to this Tournament. If the book comes out less than 1 month before the event, you can use either the new book or the existing book.
III - Warhammer 40,000 Rules
-
Create an army of no more than 1,850 points with one Standard Force Organization chart.
-
Specific zone fighting rules will not be in effect - including Jungle fighting and City fighting.
IV - Valid Warhammer 40,000 Armies

V - Rulings
All Games Workshop FAQs will be enforced. For simplicity sake, this event will utilize the INAT FAQ for rulings and questions not covered by GW. Any questions may be brought up to a Judge PRIOR to the beginning of the first round or via Email to the event GM (Listed above)..
VI - Scoring
Scoring will be handled in three areas, Generalship (Battle Points), Hobbyist (Appearance Points), and Sportsmanship. The overall winner will be determined based on a combination of Battle and Appearance points. A Best Sportsman prize will be awarded, but has no bearing on the Overall Tournament Champion. (Please note that Improper or Unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated and may be grounds for disqualification from the tournament and removal from the premises at the GM's, Judges, or Convention Staff's discretion.)
Battle Points will be awarded each round. The scoring will be dictated by the mission outcome, including W/L/D and battle points. Battle Points account for 75% of the final score.
Appearance will be judged by staff throughout the day using the below standards. Player's Choice bonuses will also be applied. Appearance will be worth 25% of the final score.
