BASIC RULES
- Armies will consist of 1850 points using a standard force organization chart.
- The Warhammer 40,000 5th Edition Rules will be used.
- The ConQuest Indy GT FAQ will be used. (Link coming soon)
- All 40K Championships army lists must follow the 40K Championships section of the ConQuest Indy GT 2009 40K
Army List rules (Link coming soon). - Forge World/Imperial Armor units are not allowed in the 40K Championships, however players may still use their
Forge World models to represent a unit from their codex. - Individual units that may have multiple rules versions will follow the rules presented in that army's codex. Yes, this
means a Black Templar Land Raider will function differently than a standard Space Marine Land Raider. Please
take the time to review the relevant GW/ConQuest FAQ's for clarifications. - Special/Unique/Named Characters may be fielded, provided their individual rules allow them to be used in armies
of 1,850 pts or less. - The models used in your army must comply with ConQuest's Model Policy.
- The 'What You See Is What You Get' (WYSIWYG) rule is in effect. That 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). - You must provide access to your own rules (which include the actual Codex used for your army), dice, templates,
pen/pencil, calculator, or anything else you'll need during the course of regular play. - A separate printed army list is required for the judges and each of your opponents.
- In order to keep the tournament running on schedule, when time is called for a round, all player's must drop the
dice and stop playing - no exceptions. Because of this, please be aware of the time left in the round and do not
start a turn you cannot finish. A hard warning will be issued with 15 minutes remaining in the game. NO Game
Turn shall be started after this warning is issued, period. - If illegal units or rules violations are found in a player's list, at a minimum, the models in violation will be removed
from all subsequent play. Tournament points may be deducted and award eligibility may be forfeited. Please use
the feedback form on this website to ask any questions you or your club may have regarding rules issues or legal
units in advance! - ConQuest Indy GT Tournament Judges' and Officers' rulings are final and arguments or poor conduct by players
will not be tolerated. ConQuest Indy GT and ConQuest NW reserve the right to remove players from the tournament
or ConQuest NW itself with no refunds allowed.
