Force Organisation Chart
The standard FOC from the sixth edition rule book will be used with these exceptions
- You my not select the "Fortress of Redemption". (We have gone this way in case you
might not find space to deploy it)
- Make sure you are able to use your allies!
Your warlord traits will be as normal in the book or from codex.
The 'What You See Is What You Get' (WYSIWYG) rule is in effect. This means all units
must be easily identifiable as the particular codex choice they represent and that any and
all weapons/options taken for a unit must be clearly represented on the model(s).
Conversions are encouraged and should be explained to your opponent at the beginning
of each game.

Rules Queries
The rules used are the rulebook, the Codex, FAQs and Errata from the Games Workshop
website. The newest publications should be used in all cases (except for Codex's that
come out after the month of DTBD). Player should endeavour to resolve rule questions
amicable between themselves first. If the rules do not cover the situation, and neither you
nor your opponent can swiftly come to a solution you agree upon, then you may approach
the umpire and ask for a ruling. He will most likely use 'The Most Important Rule' on page
4 of the main rule book.

Playing the Tournament
There will be 5 games over 2 days, each against different opponents.
What you need to bring
Any gaming material that you may require to play, Including:
• Your painted miniatures (3 colours minimum)
• At least 3 copies of your Army Roster (yourself, opponent, Umpire)
• This rule pack
• The main rulebook
