Upload by Aran

Warhammer 40,000 Doubles is a matched play tournament for two-player teams, focused on sportsmanship and fully prepared, well-presented armies. The event essentials define a Strike Force battle size, fixed board dimensions, five games, and registration details, while army construction requires each player to bring a legal 1000-point Battle-Forged roster with seven copies for staff and opponents. Construction and painting rules specify up-to-date publications, WYSIWYG modeling, and Battle Ready painted miniatures. Doubles gameplay alters player-based rules to team-based ones, including shared Command Points, team-wide Secondary objectives, and phase stratagem limits.

If you are using any electronic devices to carry your official rules references, please ensure they are charged and available for reference at all times. 2.0 ARMY CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING 2.1 Army Construction Each player on a team will select an army up to 1000 points using the rules as laid out under Muster Army in the Grand Tournament 2021 Mission Pack as well as from the Core Rulebook. When building your army, use all the most up to date Warhammer 40,000 rules found in the following Games Workshop and Forge World publications with the cut off date being 1 week before the event: • Codexes • Warhammer 40,000: The App • Campaign Books • Chapter Approved: Grand Tournament Mission Pack 2021 • White Dwarf • FAQs, errata, and beta rules found via www.warhammer-community.com/faqs Each team member will need to fill out and submit a Battle-Forged Army Roster as detailed on page 251 of the Core Rulebook. Please bring 7 copies of your list to the event-one for you to reference, one for the Tournament organisers and one for each of your five opponents. Army lists should be presented in an easy to read format (such as army lists exported from BattleForge in Warhammer 40,000: The App), including all relevant wargear and unit upgrades. Take into account the following points when constructing your armies: • Players cannot share points • Reinforcement points apply to a player, not to the whole Team. For example, if player A has 200 reinforcement points set aside, player B does NOT have access to them. • An individual player’s Faction may be different from their teammates. There is no requirement for the two armies to be historically able to “ally” with each other. You should use this as an opportunity to try and find new and unique combos and abilities that you wouldn’t normally be able to do! . • The same Datasheet cannot be included in both players’ armies. Eg. Elliot and Katie have both chosen to attend with Space Marine armies. Elliot has chosen to take two Predators as part of his 1000 points. This means Katie cannot take a predator within her 1000 point army. • Any Unique units can only be included once in a team. • Each player chooses a Warlord for their individual 1000 point army. • Each Relic and Warlord Trait is unique and can only be taken once per team. 2.0 ARMY CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING (cont.) 2.1.1 Doubles Gameplay Rules With there being two players on each side
