Last Update: 11.20.08 AdeptiCon reserves the right
to modify, update, clarify, or change event rules in the interest of
making AdeptiCon the best event possible. No fundamental rules changes
will be made after 3/1/2009.
|
BASIC RULES |
- Armies will consist of 2250 points using a standard force
organization chart.
- The Warhammer 40K 5th Edition Rules will be
used.
- The AdeptiCon INAT FAQ will be used (Updated 03.19.09).
- All 40K Gladiator army lists must follow the 40K Gladiator section
of the AdeptiCon 2009 40K Army List rules.
- Imperial Armor & Apocalypse units may be used following the rules and restrictions as noted in the AdeptiCon 2009 Imperial Armor & Apocalypse
Units rules.
- Additional Apocalypse Rules
- No Formations or Stratrgic Assets are allowed in the Gladiator
Tournament.
- Supporting War Machine Detachments counts as one Heavy Support
choice.
- Only one Super Heavy or Gargantuan Creature may be taken per
army.
- Individual units that may have multiple rules
versions will follow the rules presented in that army's codex. Yes, this
means a Black Templar Land Raider will function differently than a
standard Space Marine Land Raider. Please take the time to review the
relevant GW/Adepticon FAQ's for clarifications.
- Models must be painted to a 3 color standard.
- The 'What You See Is What You Get' (WYSIWYG)
rule is in effect. That means all units must be easily identifiable as
the particular codex choice they represent and that any and all
weapons/options taken for a unit must be clearly represented on the
model(s).
- The models used in your army must comply with AdeptiCon's Model Policy.
- You must provide access to your own rules (which include the actual
Codex used for your army), dice, templates, pen/pencil, calculator, or
anything else you'll need during the course of regular play.
- You must have 6 copies of your army list. These must be typed and
correct. 1 will be provided to the judge, 1 for your reference and the
other 4 will be given to your opponents.
- Armies must be made from the latest Codex version.
- In order to keep the tournament running on schedule, when time is
called for a round, all player's must drop the dice and stop playing -
no exceptions. Because of this, please be aware of the time left in the
round and do not start a turn you cannot finish.
- If illegal units or rules violations are found in a player's list,
at a minimum, the models in violation will be removed from all
subsequent play. Tournament points may be deducted and award eligibility
may be forfeited. Please use the feedback form on this website to ask
any questions you or your team may have regarding rules issues or legal
units in advance!
- A Note on Sportsmanship: Just because sportsmanship is not being
scored does not mean certain codes of conduct and behavior are not in
effect. AdeptiCon Tournament Judges' and Officers' rulings are final and
arguments or poor conduct by players will not be tolerated. AdeptiCon
reserves the right to remove players from the tournament or AdeptiCon
itself with no refunds allowed.

A WORD ABOUT GLADIATOR TOURNAMENTS |
A Gladiator tournament is a no-holds-barred tournament event. It is
not about fluff, it is not about theme, it is not about who can paint real
pretty. The Gladiator is about having a pair and kicking butt. No one will
score your painting or sneer at the composition of what you field. The
objective is to win games by using whatever combination of units and
tactics you can devise. This is your opportunity to make the biggest,
rudest, nastiest, beat-down army you have ever dreamed of and play it in a
tournament. A word of warning: Gladiator scenarios are among the most
complicated scenarios on the tournament scene. Only a skilled General
using a well-balanced force will have the resources available to
accomplish all of their objectives and claim the title of Gladiator
Champion. The first rule of Gladiator is "No Whining!" Life is not fair
and neither will the AdeptiCon 2009 Gladiator!
|
GLADIATOR SCORING |
All models must be painted and based appropriately with at least 3
colors. If even one model is not painted and based appropriately, you will
lose 2 points per round. Otherwise you get a zero for painting each round.
Each scenario will have 3 objectives. Each objective will be worth a
certain amount of points, and the player who completes the objective gets
those points. Also, there will be bonus modifiers of up to 2 extra battle
points during each round. All scoring sheets will have a check box for if
the game was completed. If the typed army list you turn in to the judge is found to be wrong, you will lose 5 points plus 10 points for each round that the illegal list is played.
