AdeptiCon reserves the right to modify, update, clarify, or change event rules in the interest of making AdeptiCon the best event possible. No fundamental rules changes will be made after 3/1/2009.

GENERAL RULES

• Army Selection
  Valid armies are:
  • Bretonnia: Army Book
  • Chaos: Beasts of
  • Chaos: Warriors of
  • Chaos: Daemons of
  • Chaos Dwarfs PDF
  • Dark Elves: Army Book
  • Dogs of War: PDF

  • Ogre Kingdoms: Army Book
  • Orcs and Goblins: Army Book
  • Skaven: Army Book
  • Tomb Kings: Army Book
  • Vampire Counts: Army Book
  • Wood Elves: Army Book

  Any other Army lists must be pre-approved. Contact [email protected] to get approval.
  

• Special Characters/Named Characters are NOT allowed.
• No more than one (1) Regiment of Renown is allowed in a Non-Dogs of War army.
• Rhinox Riders are only allowed in Ogre Kingdoms and Dogs of War armies.
• Each Combined Team needs one objective marker. This should be modeled on a 40mm base.

TEAMS

• Each Team will consist of two 1000 point contingents.
• Teams: As this is a Team Tournament, players are encouraged to use contingents from two different army books/races.
• Each 1000 point list shall use the following organization chart:
  • 1-2 Heroes
  • 2+ Core
  • 0-2 Special
  • 0-1 Rare
• Each team is allowed to upgrade one Hero-level Character to a Lord-level Character per 2000 point army.
• Each army is allowed one model to be upgraded to the army battle standard bearer. However, no army is required to take one. Bretonnians do not receive their extra paladin for this purpose.
• High Elves may change one Core Slot into either a Rare or Special.
• Special Characters and 'Named Characters' are not allowed, period. Should a force wish to use any list with a mandatory Special Character, your pre-approval response will contain the 'stock' character replacement value.
• Characters that take multiple character slots still must use the required multiple slots. For example, Vampire Lords still take a Lord and Hero slot. If a character uses more slots than are available in the modified organization chart, they cannot be taken. You are not allowed to use slots from your teammate's organization chart.
• No duplicates of magic items or Runic items are allowed except for dispel scrolls (Runes) and power stones.
• Three games will be played.
• Each Contingent must provide an army list to their opponents with the stats of their army. Magic Items do not need to be named, but a line should appear denoting the cost of items. Hidden models (Assassins, Fanatics, etc�) should be listed separate of the unit they are contained in.
• Magic Generation: Each 1000 point side generates its own power and dispel dice to be used by its own mages. If a side has no mages, it can only use the Common Pool. The Common Pool dice (2) must be divided at the beginning of the magic phase, and cannot be switched mid-phase.
• Magic Effects: Beneficial spells may be cast on your friendly contingents. Special Racial effects or Race Spell Effects (Cauldron of Blood, Screaming Bell, etc�) affect both friendly and enemy models that are applicable. The list of 'Beneficial Spells' is available in the FAQ.
• Army Specific Rules: "Armies" that generate special effects only generate half of those effects, rounding up for each 1000 point portion of the alliance.
  
  Example:
• A team of Dwarves and Empire would only generate 3 basic dispel dice for the team, rather than 4 as a "standard" dwarf army would.
• A Dwarf-Dwarf team would generate 4
  
• Units or characters that create their own "ability" are not affected by this.
• Each army must have its own general and will gain regular bonuses and detriments from its own general and battle standard bearer, and not the teammate's general or battle standard bearer.
  
  Examples:
• A unit of Skaven slaves could not use a Chaos Lord's leadership plus the unit's rank bonus for LD tests.
• An Undead army will only start to crumble with the removal of that army's specific general.
  
• Characters in each army cannot join units of the teammate's army.
• Fleeing/Destroyed Allied units may panic friendly units.
• The rulings of the current GW 7th Edition Fantasy FAQ will be used. Other Tournament-Specific Rulings are available in the Adepticon Fantasy FAQ. This will also be posted in the venue for review.
• The Fantasy Team Tournament will use the 'Sliding' Methodology from The GW FAQ, Pg 6-8. If both players would prefer the 'Clipping' methodology, both must initial the 'Using Clipping' line on their opponent's scoring sheet before starting the game.

SCORING

Team Composition and Theme: 25 points total. Each team will be judged on team theme and composition by AdeptiCon Team Tournament Fantasy Judges. Team Theme will be given 10 points and Team Composition will be given 10 points. A portion of each score will be awarded via checklist. The remainder is up to the judge's discretion. This is to allow for teams to be awarded for thinking outside the box and not limiting the scope of what is awarded for theme and composition.

If you circle 0 or 5, you will have to provide a written explanation as to why.

Tourney's Choice: Between rounds, each team will display their army and teams will be allowed to vote for their favorite team of the tourney.
