ARMY SELECTION
Army Lists are to be selected to a maximum of 2,000 points. You can select units with up to date matched play profiles from the General’s Handbook 2018,Compendiums,Battletomes, Forgeworld as well as Endless Spells from Malign Sorcery/Battletomes. Every Player will be expected to use the most recent version of any Warscroll in the case of duplicates.
As well as selecting artifacts from your Battletome (or Grand alliance), you can also state your army is from one of the Realms as per page 79 of Malign Sorcery. This will allow you to select Artefacts of the Realms for your army as described there.
Lists are to be submitted on the day to myself (physical copy). You will also need a second copy (either physical or digital) to show your opponents. Before Game One, please exchange army lists with your opponent and spend a couple of minutes checking for errors – I will ask players to confirm they have done this when giving in scores after the first round.
Allegiance, Realm, General, Command Traits, Artifacts, Battletome specific spells etc are all to be picked on your army list and should not change over the course of the event.

THE BATTLEPLANS

The three Battleplans being used over the day will be announced in the week leading up to the event so players can familiarize themselves with the rules and objectives.
