Warhammer 40K Events:

The TSHFT Open features two Warhammer 40K events spanning three days. The event will follow all regular rules published in the 6th ed. 40K main rule book. All official Games Workshop FAQ and WD rules updates will be observed. All players are required to have sufficient printed copies of their army lists to hand to their opponents during the event. The schedule is set so any player can play in both the Individual and Team 40K Challenges.

This is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) event. Non GW models as well as scratch built models are both welcome and allowed in the tournament(s).  However, no proxy of model will be allowed in the event. For any players who are interested in playing a “Count as” army, please check with the TO of the event on Friday (Jan 18, 2013) or earlier to make sure they are allowed. Forgeworld models allowed if accompanied by rules with the “40K approved” stamp on it(either official FW publications or White Dwarf’s). Painted miniatures are not required but highly recommended.  It is highly advised for those players who wish to compete for the top prizes to show up with a fully painted army.

Individual Challenge
