Miniatures
Up to 40 players in 20 teams.
Experienced to very-experienced
Total points for a team is 2,500 points:
• Force Organization = 2 HQ, 0-3 Elite, 4-6 Troop, 0-3 Fast, 0-3 Heavy force organization.
Each member will have 1,250 points:
• Force Organization = 1 HQ, 0-2 Elite, 2-4 Troop, 0-2 Fast, 0-2 Heavy force organization
The HQ limit is a hard limit, extra or fewer HQ is not allowed (example Space Wolves, only need1 HQ per player). Units that do not take up a slot (examples: IG Priest, Black Templar Emperor'sChampion, Death Company) are still allowed/required per codex. This is different than Adepticon Team Rules. If EACH player uses same codex however, the minimum/requirements need only be satisfied once.
0-1 limits on units will be enforced per team (example 2 Chaos Space Marines armies may only have 1 chaos lord). Even if both players are same codex, MAXIMUMS are still enforced.
Reiterating: required units just need to be in one player's list, if both players are using same codex. (example: Ork Warboss only needs to be in one players list). If 2 different codexes are in use, then each player's force must be a legal list on its own (HQ limit, still in effect).
Special army rules that modify number of available slots available is allowed but the 0-2 Elite, 0-2 Fast, 0-2 Heavy is still in effect, the 2-4 troops may be raised beyond 4. Both players do not need to play from the same codex for slot modifications to be allowed.
In general, if both players are using the same codex use 1 force org chart with codex restrictions in place. If both players are using different codexes then each army in the team must be valid on its own. If both players are Blood Angels or successor, their Death Companies will combine and only one Mephiston (or clone) is acceptable. Do NOT think you’ll get two Death Companies or Mephistons! :)
Total of: 200 possible points
$10 per player in addition to FlatCon admission. (see above)
Imperial Armor units (but not army lists) may be used except for the following which are not allowed!
