• Legions Imperialis Players should have a full set of Order tokens for their army. 

Painting Requirements

• Armies will be required to be fully built, painted, and based to the 3 Color Standard.   

  • Fully painted is a loose term.  You may always be adding more detail. You may put 3 colors on and be done.  What we are asking with this isn’t for a Studio Quality model. We are asking that all models be built completely and at least have their basecoat and a few details picked out.  Put in your best effort and you should have nothing to worry about. Reach out to TO’s if you have questions.  

•  Your skill in painting is not important, and you will not be turned away for it.  Everyone is at different levels and we are not attempted to force folks to paint above what they can. 

• If for extenuating circumstances you cannot paint your army fully prior to the event please contact us. We are not going to force someone to not play because they broke their hand and cannot paint for 4 weeks. 

• There will be a Award for Best Painted

2. No Terrain Will be considered a Building Unless it is bought for points as a Fortification.

3. Cover Saves will not be modified, please check Pg. 221 of the Core Rules for Terrain rules. 

4. No terrain is dangerous debris unless stated or made into such via a RoW. 

Terrain 8mm:

4. Obscuring terrain will be marked and explained before the first round start

5. Area terrain will be marked and explained before the first round start 

6. If it looks like a cliff face, it probably is a cliff face.  Rounded and slopped are just hills. Ask for TO clarification if an issue arises

Round Steps: 

• Exchange lists 

  1. Provide your army list and Proxy List to your opponent and display your models.  State any proxies and what they are being used as.  Answer any question your opponent may have about your army in a clear manner.

• Set-Up and Play

  1. Follow the Set-Up instructions for the current rounds Mission.

  2. Please keep your own time. Organizers will give time announcements, but can often be missed in the bustle of games.

• Scoring and Winner

  1. At the end of the game, count up VP as the table mission says VP is calculated then add any VP from Secondaries.  The winner will gain 3 Campaign points, and the Loser 1 Campaign point.  Ties will award 2 to each player. 

• Tabling and Concession

  1. If you table your opponent or they concede you may only score the Victory Points possible based on the state of the table. For example if your Squad of Tactical Marines can only move 11 inches including running with one movement phase left, they could not score on an objective 36 inches away.
