Armies are to be 1500 points or under, and based on a “What you see is what you get” basis. (If a space marine is paid for with a missile launcher, then the model must have one, grenades are negligible). Armies must adhere to the Army Book or Codex. No allies. No special Characters. Warhammer 40,000 Armies use the 2nd Edition rules. Each Army must be accompanied by a neatly written Army list, to be displayed with the models. No Armies or models there of can be used for games on the day. You may enter as many Armies as you can manage to field.
