Warhammer 40K Tournament 1000 Point Rules

Gnome Games hosts 1000 Point Warhammer 40K Tournaments monthly. Here are the rules we play by

Warhammer 40K Tournament Rules for 1000 Point Tournaments at Gnome Games. We have a focus on fun, camaraderie and good sportsmanship in support of the hobby. We reserve the right to adjust these rules at any time for any reason. Specific event rules may supersede these rules.

1000 pt Army Selection

1000 point armies. Army must follow all restrictions for army selection from its own Codex. Only the main army list may be used, so no appendix lists are permitted.
2 detachments maximum
Only armies from current Codices or officially approved White Dwarf articles may be taken.
Players must use the same army and list for the entire event.

WYSIWYG Models

All models must accurately represent the appropriate army selection in a manner that your opponent can clearly tell what the unit is and how it is equipped without being told. Models must be correctly modeled with Games Workshop miniatures, bitz or converted from primarily GW parts (roughly 80%). Other modeling parts and raw materials are allowed, but not as the primary basis of the models.

Forge World Modes are allowed.
Lords of War are not allowed unless specified by the event.

Painting and Basing

All models must be based properly
Painting by 3. Miniatures must be painted to the 3 color minimum standard by the 3^rd event a player plays in.
The only exception to this is a 1 event exception for a new army or unit purchased from Gnome Games 30 days or less prior to the event.

Players are responsible for bringing all materials necessary to play. This includes:

4 copies of your army list (Printed is preferred)

Game Rulings

Gnome Games uses official GW FAQs. Please contact warhammer@gnomegames.com with any questions not covered by this FAQ prior to the tournament. All disputes not covered by the FAQ are ruled by the Tournament Judge during the event. All judge rulings are final.
