Army Construction Restrictions:
The following army construction restrictions are currently planned for the event. Due to the rate of change of the game rules, these may (and probably will) be modified before the event.
We will lock the army construction format on August 21st 2016.
Your army may have a maximum of 1850 points.
You may take a maximum of 3 detachments/formations. Detachments and formations may be taken from BRB, current GW codexes, army supplements and campaign books. Apocalypse formations may NOT be taken.
If a new version of your army codex is released before October 4th, you must use the new codex at the event. If the new codex is released after October 4th then the old version of the codex must be used.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using a codex which is only available as a digital edition, you MUST have the actual digital edition with you at the event and available for your opponent to read. Hardcopy versions are not acceptable (although you may bring hardcopy in addition if you wish).
