FlatCon 2011 40k Championship Tournament Rules

Basic Rules

•Armies will consist of 1850 points or less, using a standard force organization chart.

• Players MUST use the same army list throughout the tournament.

• Each player MUST bring a total of THREE (3) tactical markers based on 40mm circular bases.  

• All models MUST be WYSIWYG and painted to a 3-color minimum standard.

•Scratch built, converted, and non-citadel miniatures will be allowed so long as they a) are clearly identifiable as the unit they are representing, and b) do not provide any sort of in game advantage over the sanction GW equivalent.  If models do not abide by these rules rule they will at minimum be substituted with the equivalent GW model.  If no substitute is available they may be removed from tournament play with no replacement allowed.  If you are in doubt it is always best to contact the tournament organizer and get your models approved ahead of time.  

• The Warhammer 40,000 5th Edition Rules and all relevant Games Workshop Errata and FAQs will be used.

• The Adepticon INAT FAQ will be used to resolve additional rules disputes.

• New codices that are released prior to September 21st, 2011 will be allowed in the tournament.

• A separate printed army list is required for the judges and each of your opponents.

• Forge World/Imperial Armor units are NOT allowed; however players may still use their Forge World models to represent a unit from their codex.

• Individual units that may have multiple rules versions will follow the rules presented in that army's codex. Please take the time to review the relevant GW/AdeptiCon FAQ's for clarifications.

• Special/Unique/Named Characters may be fielded, provided their individual rules allow them to be used in armies of 1,850 pts or less.

• You must provide access to your own rules (which include the actual Codex used for your army), dice, templates, pen/pencil, calculator, or anything else you'll need during the course of regular play.

• If illegal units or rules violations are found in a player's list, at a minimum, the models in violation will be removed from all subsequent play. Tournament points may be deducted and award eligibility may be forfeited.

• Flatcon Tournament Judges' and Officers' rulings are final and arguments or poor conduct by players will not be tolerated. Flatcon reserves the right to remove players from the tournament or Flatcon itself with no refunds allowed.
