Rules and List Builidng
The most important rule is to have fun. Communicate with your opponent, behave honourably, and avoid gotcha moments.
The ITC Code Of Conduct Will Be Used For This Event
Tournament Officials
There are currently two TO’s (Laurie and Patrick) who can be reached through [email protected]. As questions come in we will try to post them as a FAQ in this document. There may be more TO’s on the day of the tournament – number of players dependent.
During the tournament the TO’s will have the final say on rules, scoring, model validity, and etc. Attempting to influence the TO’s through the gifting of beverages, food, memorabilia, or etc. has failed in the past, but is still strongly encouraged.
TO’s have the ability to enforce rules, issue verbal warnings, points deduction, yellow/red cards.
List Submissions and List Building
Lists are to be submitted via the best coast pairing event by August 12th at 11:59 PM local time. Army rosters should follow one of the two formats defined by ITC and Best Coast Pairings or the export format from the Games Workshop App
Late lists and illegal lists will receive a sportsmanship penalty.
Time Management
Expect a hard dice-down to be enforced at the end of allotted round time, even for rounds that run into lunch.
If one player supplies and requests to use a chess clock, we ask the opponent to respect this and play with a chess clock. Same goes for dice sharing.
If you run out of time and need help scoring, call a TO.

Appearance, Painting and Conversions
Painting & Appearance
All models are to be battle ready and What-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG*). Models not meeting battle ready and/or WYSIWYG will result in:
The loss of 10 points for paint score and/or
Removal from play
*As best you can. 10th edition has changed many loadouts for armies and we don’t want people cutting up their passion project for no reason.
Battle Ready consists of three main criteria:
- No grey plastic obviously showing
- Three colours of paint
- A painted or scenic base
WYSIWYG is an important standard to aid in fair play and minimize player error. Players will be fatigued, under time pressure, and facing units/factions they are unfamiliar with. Keeping everything as simple as possible helps everyone have the most enjoyable experience.
Converting/kitbashing is an awesome part of the hobby. In general a conversion or kit-bash is undertaken because it’s awesome. If you’ve done this to your army ensure:
- Units are still distinguishable as their original model and are unique from similar models (eg your kitbashed beast snagga boyz should look different than your boyz)
- The dimensions of your kitbashed units are similar to the original models
If you’re unsure about your conversion / kitbash email (you guessed it) [email protected]
Proxies are substitutes for actual models. Whereas kitbashing/converting is done to show off your awesome creativity, proxying is (often, not always) done as a quick substitute for building the actual thing. This can include:
- Using similar sized models as a proxy for the model in your list
- Playing legends models as different units (But, if you have some guard units or a Rhino from the 1980’s or something by all means bring them out to play. The TO’s will probably come over to check out your vintage model and ask you about its history)
If you want to use proxies and are unsure if they’re similar enough please email [email protected].
Modifications most frequently occur on flying units and their pesky flight stands. But it occurs on other units when players change poses or etc. The key takeaway is to avoid modelling for advantage. When changing up the pose of your model ensure the dimensions of your new pose remain similar to the original model.
