HOW THE DOUBLES EVENT WORKS - DOUBLING UP!
The Warhammer 40,000 Doubles Event is a competition to find the two best Warhammer 40,000 Generals through their use of two allied forces. The following terms are used throughout this post and have the following meanings:
• FORCE is used to describe the units under one player’s control.
• ARMY is used to describe the combined forces of the two players

Please do not expect anything other than a slightly chaotic, hectic day of fun games, played within a loosely competitive framework. As such, the rules of engagement are different; please take the time to try them out before the event and contact us if you have any questions.

Additionally, we will be celebrating the skills of exceptional hobbyists and rewarding those who embody great sporting behavior.


DOUBLES ARMY CONSTRUCTION
You must follow the standard force organisation chart for the creation of your army. In this Warhammer 40,000 Doubles Tournament an Army of 2000pts must contain the following:
• 2 Forces of no more than 1000 points each. You may not transfer unused points between Forces.
• Each player must provide 1 HQ and 1 Troop unit as a basis of their individual Forces.
• You may then take further Troop units up to the maximum allowance of 6, as per the organization chart.
• If you wish to take Elite, Fast Attack or Heavy Support you may take them in your combined army; however you must fill each of the selections first in order to get a second choice from one of these unit types, e.g.: You have 2 HQs, 2 Troops, one Elite, one Fast Attack and one Heavy support choice before you can add subsequent Elite, Fast Attack or Heavy Support choices. Troop units are not affected by this restriction.
• Any units that don’t take up a place in the Force Organisation chart are to be used as per their rules in their respective codexes, and are not affected by the restriction stated previously for other types of units.
• Special Characters are allowed, remember they are Unique, so only one of a given SC per army, even if playing a "Counts As" (meaning no two Marneus Calgar even if you just use his stats for your DIY Chapter); special rules given by Characters are on a per Force basis, and do NOT cross to the Army at all.
• You cannot use two 0-1 in a combined army of two stand alone Armies; this is breaking the rules slightly, as the units are 0-1 for a reason.
• 0 – 1 relates firstly to the 1000 point force, and in the case of a Battle Brothers Army, across the combined army.
• 1+ is the same; apply it to the Force first, then across the Army in a Battle Brothers force.


TEAM ALLIANCES
See p.6 here.

Each Army may ally with only the races shown on the Alliances chart below. Simply cross-reference the races you wish to ally with. The following notations represent:
B = Battle Brothers – Same race, so no problems.
T = Trusted Allies – no special rules, alliance is permitted.
D = Distrustful Allies – permitted, but allied units and characters within 6” of each other suffer a -1 Leadership penalty (after other modifiers).
X = Disallowed – cannot ally under any circumstances.

You may only select to play with a team-mate who has an army you are permitted to ally with.


OBJECTIVE COUNTERS
For some scenarios you will be required to supply up to five objective markers or counters on the battlefield. These should be modelled on a footprint no larger than a 40mm round base. They have no effects on the terrain whatsoever other than to mark a point on the battlefield.


FAQs and Errata
Only offical GW FAQs and errata will be utilised. These can be found at www.games-workshop.com, under the 'Gaming' tab - "Errata and FAQ Articles." All Judge's decisions will be final for the day of the tournament, so please try to be amicable sports and work things out fairly with a common-sense eye towards RAI when RAW brings up conflicts. And if all else fails, roll a D6 and keep playing.

I'll be doing Judging still, yes?

If so, assume only ther GW FAQ for now. I'm still reviewing the INAT FAQ.

Jason - a Special Characters permitted in this format?

We rarely set anything more than a few months out, for team Tourney, assume a 6 month cycle at least.

[Asandiril]

Dale's got the right of it: we're trying to set up things 4-6 months out so Rob can get back advertising in the 'Dwarf. Fantasy plans to have one in June, then 3 months later the 40K again, then 3 months the Fantasy (so every 6 months for each system). We get enough people playing War of the Ring, it'll change the cycle so they're every 2 months from each other.

Hey dale are you going to need help that day?

Also for Space Wolf players, that 0-1 HQ slot still counts as 2 HQ per 1 slot correct?
