The Tin Soldier Penrith will be hosting its first Warhammer 40,000 Doubles Team Tournament on the weekend of the 14th and 15th of November. Rowan and Simon will be running the event. This tournament will see teams of 2 players fight 5 battles over the course of the weekend to decide who the best Doubles Team is.
FORMATPlayers will need to pair up with a friend of their choice to form their team. Players may not join multiple teams. Each team will play 3 games on Saturday the 14th and 2 games on Sunday the 15th. Entry costs are $30 per person with all collected entry fees going towards prizes. Opposing teams will be randomly selected and have 2 hours to complete their battle. Due to the tight time constraints of the event games will not run into overtime and players / teams deliberately playing slow will be dealt with harshly.
TIMINGSSaturday the 14th will run from 0830 – 1800hrs with the event starting at 0845hrs.
Sunday the 15th will run from 0900 – 1600hrs.
Please do not be late.
FORCE ORGANISATIONEach team’s army will be comprised of 2x 1000pt elements under the direct control of the individual players chosen from any current Codex. There are no restrictions to what armies can pair up. Yes that means Tyranids and Tau or Chaos Marines and Loyalist Marines can play on the side. Teams may not share any points (even unused) between their 2 elements IE: an army may not have 1x 1500pt element and a 500pt element. All elements are under their respective Force Organisation charts as set out in their Codex and must field their minimum requirements IE: 1x HQ and 2x Troops.
