HOW THE DOUBLES EVENT

WORKS - DOUBLING UP!The Warhammer 40,000 Doubles Event is a competition tofind the two best Warhammer 40,000 Generals through their

use of tw o alli ed fo rces. The fo llow ing terms are usedthrough out this pack and have the f ollowin g meanings:

FORCE is used t o describe t he uni ts under one playerscontrol.

ARMY is used to describe the combined for ces of the t woplayers

Please do no t expect anything ot her t han a sligh tly chaoti c,hecti c weekend of fun games, played wit hin a looselycompetit ive framewo rk. As such, the rules of engagement arediff erent; please take the time to try them out before theevent and contact us if you have any questions.

Additionally, we will be celebrating the skills of exceptionalhobbyists and rewarding those who embody great sporting

behaviour. For this to happen successfully, there are somefundamental principles that must be adhered to by all playerswho attend t his event.

The Doubles Event consists of six games or rounds, eachlasting 2 hours, including the w arm-up and ro ster check. Inthe first round, teams will be matched randomly against anopposing team. In each subsequent round , teams wi ll befacing appropriate opponents according to their ranking.Should a team draw the same opponents again, ask a Refereeto step in t o sort thi ngs so t hat t he teams face suit ableopponents.

You w ill be assigned a t able fo r your game. Any team thatdoes not have an opponent should raise their h and and callfor a Referee, who will attempt t o find opponents for t hem.

If this is not possible and the opponent does not arrivewithin 15 minutes of the start time for the game, then theywill be considered to be late for their game, and may facesuitable action from the Referees as a result.

Before battle commences there will be a five-minute warm-up period. During this period players must first show theiropponent all t he models in t heir Forces. Players are allow edto ask t heir opponent questions about the Forces and t herules that apply to t hem.

After inspecting the Forces, all players should discuss theterrain for the batt le, and how each feels it w ill aff ect t hemodels in play. They can also discuss any other rules pointsthat t hey think may come up in t he battle.

PLEASE NOTE: These are t he only lists that we w ill bepermitting at this event. If you have any queries regardingthe validi ty of your chosen for ce, you must contact the eventsteam for clarification.

DOUBLES ARMY CONSTRUCTIONYou must follow the standard force organisation chart for thecreation of your army. In thi s Warhammer 40,000 DoublesTournament an Army of 1500pts must contain the following:

2 Forces of no mo re than 750 points each. You may nottransfer unused points between Forces.

Each player must pro vide 1 HQ and 1 Troop unit as a basisof their ind ividual Forces.

You may then take further troop units up to themaximum allowance of 6, as per the organization chart.

If you wish to t ake, Elite, Fast At tack or Heavy Supportyou may take them in your combined army; however youmust fill each of the selections first in order to get asecond choice from one of these unit types e.g. You have2 HQs, 2 Troops, one Elit e, one Fast At tack and one Heavysupport choice before you can add subsequent Elite, FastAttack or Heavy Support choices. Troop units are notaff ected by this restr iction.

Any units that dont take up a place in the ForceOrganisation chart are to be used as per their rules intheir respective codexes, and are no t affected by t herestri cti on stat ed previously for oth er types of u nit s.

You cannot use two 0-1 in a combined army of tw o standalone Armies; this is breaking the rules slightly, as theunits are 0-1 for a reason.

0 1 relates firstly to t he 750 point f orce, and in the case

of a Battle Brothers Army, across the combined army. 1+ is the same; apply it to t he Force first, then across theArmy in a Batt le Brothers force.

ARMY ROSTERThe key message here is, if the Referees cant read it orunderstand it, then dont be surprised if they decide to dosomething about it.

When you arrive at the event you must bring at least twotyped copies of your Army Roster following the guidancenot es found i n t he Full Tournament Rules on t he main GWWebsite:

COMM UNITY & EVENTS>WARHAMMER

WORLD>WARHAMMER WORLD RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

One is for the Referees to refer t o, whi le the other i s for youto use during the event.

Referees will also apply the Roster Penalty for any rostersthey feel are either incorrect or below the required standardfo r each of the games it was used in. It must be presented inEnglish, and contain t he follow ing inf ormation:

Player Name, Ticket Number and Team name (whereappropriate).

Any extra equipment or special items must be clearlymarked along wit h t heir point s cost.
