THE BASIC CONCEPT

Welcome to ][con ’10!
For the first time ][con this year will be a doubles tournament held at the Realm Of Legends Hobby
Centre Croydon. The venue can accommodate up to 50 tables, has a Cafe, is within minutes walk of
the train station and has its own parking.
Players will play 3 doubles games in 1 day, each player having a 888pt army, and therefore each team
loading out with 1776 point army.
The winner of the event will be scored in Battle, Sportsmanship and Composition. In the spirit of the
previous years ][con will have force organisation chart limitations and allies restrictions which can be
found in the following pages, we want this event to be fun for you but also your opponent. If you are
planning on coming please bring an army that you would be happy to face across the table.
I would like to thank Games Workshop who continually front up great products for this game and our
other sponsors:

My assistant TO's this year are Brenton Shaw and Luke Brown which will allow ][con to be an even
better event. I would also like to thank the Ringwood Wargames Club for their continuing support to
the gaming community.
I hope to see you there!!

RULES
SUMMARY:
The following rules will be used in the running of ][con'10:
• Warhammer 40,000 5th Edition
• Armies shall be no more than 888 points per player
• Armies shall be no more than 1776 points per team

ALLOWED ARMIES:
The following army lists will be allowed to be used in ][con'10:
• All current Codex's released prior to the army list submission date.
• In addition the Daemon Hunter's PDF or the current codex may be used.
• Imperial Armour may be used, but will be considered on a case by case basis, no super heavies,
flyers, no structure points or mass points. In addition the following unit selections are not
allowed:
• Deathstorm Drop Pods
• Incendiatory Shells
• No Home Brewed or Fan Dex
• No Armoured Company

NEW RULINGS:
Who's Giving the orders here?
This rule applies to all teams especially those with the same army type (i.e. guard with guard). It is
assumed that the commanders of the respective allies are set in their ways and will not order their allies
troops in case an affront to the other commander is caused. (and why would they listen to him
anyway). The collusion between the two armies and their commanders is represented by their synergy
as battle forces on the table, not through the use of any special rules cross over.
When considering friendly models only models from within a players army are considered truly
friendly.
No army special rules, orders, abilities can be conferred to your team mates army. In the case of rules
that apply to models on the table with a given rule, e.g. Epidemius and models with the Mark of
Nurgle, this type of rule will apply to all allies from the same codex (as the model with the rule) when
considering allies, and to all enemies on the table that meet the criteria of the rules.

SCORING
COMPO
COMPOSITION SCORING:
The composition scoring will be based on the following criteria:
Criteria Points
Registering the teams lists on time 10
Submitting correct and legal lists that match the Force org 20 (10/player)
charts, 1 list per player, (If the lists when combined as a team are not correct
the team will lose 10 points)

Trusted Allies 30
Distrusting Allies 20
Hated Enemies 10
Total Available for Team 60
All allies combinations can be judged as trusted allies if:
1. An appropriately cool back story is written and presented with the army lists
2. A piece of 40k fluff can be quoted and supplied to support the alliance.
3. Another cool reason we didn't think of that is convincing and true to the 40k background

Force Organisation Charts:

The following force organisation charts are required to be met, each players army must be a valid list
in its own right and match the force org charts below. In addition when the two armies are combined
they must still make a valid force organisation chart.
For example: If Player 1 decides they need 4 Troops choices in their list, this will restrict player 2 too
2 Troops choices in their list in order to satisfy the teams maximum of 6 Troops choices as per the
force organisation chart.
PLAYER 1 (888 points) PLAYER 2 (888 points) TEAM (1776 points)

HQ

Elites

Troops

Fast Attack

Heavy Support

Notes:
1. Where your codex allows additional characters or units for a particular org. chart slot this is allowed but
is not transferable in any way to your opponents army.
2. No special/named character may be duplicated within a team force. You may however have a different
special character per force.

Allies:
In order to promote likely combinations of armies without stopping anyone entering ][con the allies
matrix that follows will be used in order to assess the composition criteria.

In addition the following ally combinations will count as :

1. Space Wolves and any Inquisitor
2. Dark Angels - Deathwing and any Inquisitor
3. Black Templars and any Psychers

In order to enter a valid force for ][con '10 the force organisation charts are required to be met, any
level of allies can be used with the appropriate penalties.
If a piece of 40k fluff can be presented or written that is awesome enough to convince the TO's that
your alliance could really have happened then your score will be considered to be the same as a trusted
alliance.
