PAINTING & MODEL REQUIREMENTS: ARMY LEADER
The painting minimum for this event is that every player's army leader/general/commander is fully painted (including having his base completed).
Beyond each player's army leader, there is no other painting minimum or requirement for this event.
Models must be Games Workshop models and 3D-printed models will not be allowed.
WYSIWYG MODELS
What You See Is What You Get means all models have their primary weapon appropriately modelled on the miniature.
PROXIES & 3D PRINTED MODELS
- Straight-up proxies ("these Stormcast Eternals are Chaos Space Marines" etc) is NOT allowed.
- 3D Printed models are not allowed.
- More ...inspired proxies *can* be allowed, so long as they are NOT 3D printed models. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the player must contact Imaginary Wars prior to the event.
CONVERSIONS & 3D-PRINTED BITZ
Conversions are welcome, but the core of the model must still be a GW model and the model should still be representative of the rules being used for that model.
3D-printed accessories are acceptable for conversions if the rest of the model follows the ethos that they are being added to a GW model.
BASE SIZES
All models must be on their proper base size
