Doubles

This event is a 2v2 doubles event.  Each player will select a faction and a detachment and use it to build a 1000 points Incursion list as normal.  Follow the instructions from the official GW doubles event companion (linked below)

Doubles specific rulings

• Players on the same team should do their best to stay in the same phase.  Ex. If one player is still moving units, their team mate should not begin shooting.

• GW now has a doubles specific event companion.  You can find it here https://assets.warhammer-community.com/eng_12-06_warhammer40000_doubles_event_companion-xyapytrwkz-9a6fljmnob.pdf

GW official, rotating A,B,C

If you roll a terrain layout that you think will make the game fun and everyone wants to “re-roll”, players can opt to play a different one if everyone at the table would like to do so.

Waitlist

We will open up a waitlist once the event is full. Contact me on discord (Dingbat) or at this email if you would like to be put on the list. d.purcell222@gmail.com .

Terrain

• We will use layouts from the GW tournament companion.

• Every piece of terrain counts as a ruin (even crates or trees). 

• First floors count as blocking line of sight. Discuss with your opponent or call the TO ahead of the game if it’s unclear.

• The footprints of terrain will all match GW layouts but due to limitations of our terrain set the ruins on top of them may not match GW’s exact measurement.

Prizes

• 1st place

• 2nd place

• 3rd place

• Favorite opponents

• Best painted team (you both need to have painted armies)

Paint requirements

None, but the game is way cooler if you do it.

Proxies and conversions

Generally acceptable. Must be the right size and clear to your opponent. Example, don’t say that one model has a lascannon when the whole unit is modeled with bolters. Your opponent would have no way to distinguish. Please ask ahead of time if you have any doubt.

Odd numbers and byes

If we end up with an odd number of participants, one team in the lowest wins/loss bracket each round will play the RINGER. Regardless of the outcome they will get a win and a minimum score of 70 pts.
