during the tournament. If you lose this packet, be prepared to be docked points!

The Heresy is picking up speed as the Warmaster and his allied legions cut a swath of destruction across the galaxy. The lines begin to blur as new forces in the form of the Solar Auxilla and Adeptus Mechanicus join the fray to test your generalship in the 31st Millennium. Where do your loyalties lie?

Players must declare themselves Loyalist or Traitor at sign up. We will do what we can to accommodate your choice.

Forces:Players will bring a single 2,000 point detachment chosen from the various Horus Heresy Books using the Force Organization Chart shown below. A single Lord of War worth up to 450 pts may be taken. If you wish, this choice may be a Knight Titan of any type. A single Fortification that does not exceed 100pts may also be taken. Please bring a few extra copies of your army list for your opponents. All Warlord Traits will be rolled from an appropriate Heresy Era chart, not from the 40k Rulebook.

Restrictions:Allied detachments and Primarchs are NOT allowed. Dark Age Relics, Knightly Heirlooms, the Questoris Knight Crusade Army List, Shattered Legions, and the “Primarchs Chosen” Rite of War will NOT be allowed in this event.

Only Horus Heresy material that released prior to February 28th, 2016 will be allowed in this event. However all rules designated as “Experimental” will not be in play, regardless of the release date.

Format:This swiss format tournament will feature 3 games over the course of the day. A well balanced force will help you achieve the scenario objectives and score VPs for your side. Heresy era Tactical Objective decks will be handed out for players to use during the games and then awarded to the winning side to keep at the end of the day.

UNIVERSAL RULES

Table Set-upScenery will be set up by the event organizers, but players may re-arrange the terrain in any mutually agreed upon fashion if they so desire.

Scoring UnitsAs per page 134 of the 40k Main Rulebook, any unit in the force can be a scoring unit, unless:

- They are already outlined as such in the 40k Rulebook on page 134.

- They possess a rule that specifically states they can not be a scoring unit, such as the Gal Vorbak’s “Damned” special rule.

- The unit is a Drop Pod, Dreadnaught Drop Pod, Deathstorm Drop Pod, Dreadclaw Drop Pod, Arvus Lighter or Cyclops Demolition Unit

- The unit is a Rhino which is not within 2” of the unit it originally deployed with. If that unit has been wiped out, then the Rhino can no longer score.

Command BenefitsYou may re-roll the result of your Heresy Era Warlord Trait if you so desire.

Troops choices and units with the Implacable Advance special rule count as having the Objective Secured rule. Please note that recent FW updates have given Legion Veteran and Seeker Squads as well as Alpha Legion Headhunter Kill Teams and Mor Deythan Strike Squads the Implacable Advance special rule.

Tactical ObjectivesUnique Heresy era Tactical Objectives are in use. Each player will use the deck of cards at their assigned table and leave them in place when their game is over. Many cards have a Discard mechanic that allows players to always have viable objectives in their hand. This is activated at the start of your turn or when the Tactical Objective is drawn, so read them all carefully. If you ever have a question about the wording or intent of a particular Tactical Objective, flag down an event organizer and they’ll help you out.

Objective MarkersAny eligible units that move within 3” of an Objective Marker, or are within 3” of one at the start/end of a turn will claim it. If scoring enemy units are also present within 3” of the Objective Marker it is considered contested until the enemy units are no longer within 3” or they are trumped by a unit with the Objective Secured special rule.

Mysterious ObjectivesObjective Markers will have a random effect that is assigned the first time they are claimed by a player. Simply pick up and roll one of the provided ModCubes, placing it within the Objective Marker afterwards. The symbol rolled will determine its effect for the game.

Knights Errant Failing Their Oath of MomentInstead of losing the game flat out, your opponent gains the Victory Points for the secret objective chosen.

Variable Game LengthAll missions will use the Variable Game Length rule.

Falling BackUnits that fall back move directly towards their own table edge by the shortest route possible as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook (pg. 30). As per the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook (pg 122-123), units that are falling back cannot control/deny objectives. Warlords that are falling back at the end of the game are NOT considered slain and do not fulfill the requirements of the Slay the Warlord Secondary Objective.

5 Minute WarningOnce this is announced, NO additional game turns shall be started - no exceptions! If the current game turn has not been completed when time has expired, the game will be afforded a grace period in order to finish out the current game turn and should be reconciled as quickly as possible. The judges reserve the right to end any game that is taking too long to resolve.

HAVE FUN!All players are expected to abide by the Adepticon Conduct Policy. Arguments or poor conduct by players will not be tolerated. We all enjoy pushing fictional armored sci-fi models around a table, blowing stuff up, and rolling lots of dice. Due to the nature of dice however, sometimes things don’t go so well! When that happens and the day takes a turn for the worse – take a step back and remember it’s just a game. This is a friendly, themed, tabletop event set in the fake world of fake spacemen whose outcome will be determined by random chance cubes. So have fun!

First TurnThe player that set up first can choose to take the first or second turn. If they take the first turn, their opponent can attempt to Seize the Initiative.

Tactical ObjectivesBoth players draw 4 Tactical Objectives at the start of the first turn. 3 of these are kept and 1 is reshuffled back into the deck to form your starting hand.

If, at the start of a player’s turn, they have fewer than 3 Active Tactical Objectives, they must draw a number of new Tactical Objectives until they have 3.
