• You must create your army using the most recent edition of the appropriate Warhammer Armies book or the Chaos Dwarf list located in the Forge World Tamurkhan book. Trial Rules and Appendix armies are NOT permitted.
• Your army does NOT have to be painted but MUST be fully assembled.  Paint IS a part of your score.
• Hills block LOS for non-Large models (however LOS IS reciprocal, so if you can see them, they can see you, ie. Large targets behind hills) and are not difficult ground.
• Forests follow standard BRB LoS rules.

• No fixed terrain.  Instead, players take turns placing terrain (and must use all pieces on the table) each game following these set rules:
• No terrain may be placed with in 10 inches of a board edge, and all terrain must be at least 6 inches apart.
• No mysterious terrain
• What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). If a model is armed with an item, it must be shown on the figure. Models for army list choices that are not available must be converted. If you are in any way in doubt about whether your conversion or scratch built piece might not be acceptable please call us before the tournament. We don’t want someone to show up with something they can’t use! (Please not that not all the magic items a character is carrying must be represented on the model)
• You may use non-Games Workshop models in this tournament.

• The most current rules clarifications from the official GW Warhammer FAQ will be in use.
• If your army contains Wizards, the Lore that each Wizard uses MUST be declared in their entry on the army list. If an item grants you knowledge of a spell from a Lore that you may pick, you must declare that on your army list as well. In the case of Grey Seers, you must declare how many spells that they will use from either of the Skaven Lores. For example, “Grey Seer – 2 Spells from Lore of Ruin & 2 Spells from Lore of Plague.”.
