After setting up their forces, the /rk player >-att? and the +mperial Guard player >Bill? both roll a dice and add their strategy rating. The +mperial Guard player rolls a @, to which he adds his strategy rating of 9 for a total of A. The /rk player rolls a B on the dice, plus his strategy rating of B, gi$ing him a total of @. The +mperial Guard player hence wins the strategy phase and may choose whether to go first or second. )e chooses to go first. The action phase now begins and the +mperial Guard player nominates the formation with which he will attempt his first action. )e picks a "teel Legion -echanised +nfantry %ompany out on the left flank and declares that they are going to attempt a double action. The chosen formation are members of the +mperial Guard, and therefore ha$e an initiati$e rating of 9C. The player rolls the dice and scores a 5 D the action is successful and the formation makes its chosen action >in this case, mo$ing twice up the flank. They then ha$e the option to shoot but can,t see any enemy so the formation,s action is at an end?. The +mperial Guard player then decides he is going to try to retain the initiati$e. )e nominates a "teel Legion "uper )ea$y Tank %ompany on the other side of the battlefield and declares that they are also going to attempt a double action. The player rolls a dice and scores a 9 D the action fails, since the formation has an +nitiati$e of 9, and suffers (: to its dice roll for retaining the initiati$e. The formation recei$es a Blast marker and must take a hold action instead of taking the double action.

-any formations include transport $ehicles that can be used to carry other units that belong to the same formation. The number and type of units that can be carried will be listed on the transport $ehicle,s datasheet. Transport $ehicles may only carry units from their own formation. Transport $ehicles can pick up and carry units as part of the transport $ehicle,s mo$e. The $ehicle simply mo$es into base contact with the unit to be picked up, and then carries on with its mo$e as normal. 3ote that the transported unit is not allowed to mo$e themsel$es during the mo$e when they are picked up. Transported units may disembark at the end of any mo$e after the mo$e in which is it was picked up. This happens after any o$erwatch shots >see :.:6? but before the mo$ing formation shoots or assaults. #isembarking units may be placed within Ecms of the transport $ehicle. +f the formation has engage orders then they may be placed in base contact with an enemy unit. /therwise they may not be placed within an enemy unit,s 4one of control. 3ote that units do not ha$e to disembark, and may remain in their transport if they prefer. .nits may not be picked up and disembark as part of the same mo$e, though a formation making multiple mo$es as part of a march or double action could pick up units in one mo$e and drop them off as part of a subse!uent mo$e. .nits may embark or disembark as part of a counter(charge mo$e >see :.:9.5?, unless the transport $ehicle carrying them is already in base contact with two enemy units D in which case they must stay on board >they are trapped insideF?. .nits being transported may not shoot unless the transport $ehicle,s datasheet specifically says otherwise.

&E'I#N (4N(EPT 'hooting (onventions

The following principles apply to shooting1 *easuring +anges2 =ou must decide with your opponent how you will measure the range between two models during a game. The method used by the author >and the default you should use if you can,t agree to an alternati$e? is that a weapon is in range if any bit of the attacking weapon is within range of any part of the target model >or at least one of the models on a target stand?. )ines of 6ire2 +n 'pic, the terrain and the models are assumed to be the same scale, so if you want to check a difficult line of sight between two units, all you need to do is bend o$er and get a ,model,s eye $iew, to see if they are in each others line of fire. PreGmeasuring2 =ou must decide with your opponent if you are allowed to pre(measure distances during a game of 'pic, or if you must declare charges or shooting attacks before measuring. For e&ample, you must decide if you can measure to make sure a unit is within range of the enemy before deciding who it will shoot at, etc. 'ach method has its own distinct ad$antages, which boil down to pre(measuring being more precise and tactical, and not allowing pre(measuring being more characterful and e&citing. +f you cannot agree on which method to use then use the author,s method, which is to allow pre(measuring. -.F.: 'hooting Procedure-: T"is is a summar( o# t"e s"ooting rocedure. $e%ll work t"roug" it ste P*(Pste in t"e rules t"at #ollow.

-any artillery pieces, rocket launchers and some other weapons fire a barrage of shots causing mass destruction on the enemy. When these guns or launchers are grouped together in an attack they always fire a single barrage at the same target. /n their datasheets, these weapons ha$e no to hit rolls D instead they ha$e a number of barrage points >B s?. The main difference between a barrage and a normal attack is that the barrage co$ers a substantial area and so may hit se$eral units. To fire a barrage, first take a Barrage template >see :.6.:? and place it on the table where you want the barrage to land. 'ach weapon contributing to the barrage must be within range and ha$e a line of fire to at least one unit under the template. Weapons that are not in range or do not ha$e a line of fire to an enemy unit that falls under the template may not fire at all this turn. =ou are allowed to place templates o$er your own units, or units from se$eral enemy formations if you wish but all units under the templates D friend and foe alike D are attacked. Any formation that is attacked recei$es a Blast marker for Gcoming under fire, >see :.H.5?. 3e&t, refer to the data sheet to work out the total number of Barrage points. The whole formation fires at once, so the number of Barrage points for each weapon that is in range and has a line of fire is added together. When you ha$e worked out the total number of barrage points refer to the barrage table below. 3ote that a formation may only fire one barrage per turn D a single formation may not fire separate barrages at different targets. The Barrage table lists the hit roll re!uired to hit each unit under the Barrage template. 0oll to hit all units >friend or foe? under the template with the appropriate to hit $alues. +n order to speed dice rolling we recommend rolling to hit all units of e&actly the same type together, and then remo$ing any casualties from those closest to the enemy first. 3arrage Table

EJtra 3arrage Templates2 Large barrages may recei$e e&tra Barrage templates. The Barrage table will tell you if a barrage recei$es any e&tra Barrage templates. lace any e&tra templates so that they touch the first template that was placed, and so that no templates o$erlap. All units under the templates are attacked with the barrage,s to hit $alues. 3ote that once the first template has been placed, the attacker may choose where to place the additional templates, as long as they are touching the first template, and no line of fire, placement or range restrictions apply >see below?. EJtra 3last *arkers2 0eally large artillery barrages are $ery effecti$e at suppressing enemy troops as well as killing them. To represent this, a large barrage may inflict one, two or three e&tra Blast markers, as shown on the barrage table. The Blast markers are placed in addition to any Blast markers placed on a formation for it coming under fire or for any casualties that it suffered. +f se$eral formations are being attacked then each recei$es the appropriate number of e&tra Blast markers. 0sing 3arrage Templates2 #eciding which enemy units ha$e been caught underneath a circular Barrage template is another one of the things that can cause endless arguments during a game. The method we use >and the default you should use unless you ha$e a different con$ention that you prefer? is that a unit is affected if any part of the model falls under the template, or at least one model on a stand. +n addition, templates must be placed in such a way as to get as many enemy units from the target formation under them as possible within the restrictions for lines of fire and range. This stops players Gsniping, at important units with artillery.

As his first action for the turn, the +mperial Guard player chooses to try to put one of his "teel Legion -echani4ed +nfantry %ompanies onto o$erwatch. )e passes the Action test and the unit goes onto o$erwatch. 3earby, an /rk formation chooses a sustained fire action and shoots at a nearby Titan. The /rk formation doesn,t mo$e, so can,t trigger the formation on o$erwatch to fire. Their o$erwatch goes onL Later in the same turn, another /rk formation chooses a double action and mo$es across in front of the +mperial Guard on o$erwatch. At the end of their first mo$e, the /rks are within line of fire of the +mperial Guard detachment, but the player decides not to shoot at them since their second mo$e will take them closer to another unit with which he can shoot them anyway. The o$erwatch is not triggered and still goes onL A new turn begins and the /rk player wins the "trategy phase, enabling him to go first. The first thing the /rk player does is begin an engage action with a 2ult of "peed, which begins tearing towards the +mperial Guard. At the end of their mo$e, they are $ery close to the +mperial Guard formation, but before the assault is resol$ed, the +mperial Guard player announces that he is going to trigger the formation,s o$erwatch and shoot at the 2ult of "peed. The shooting is resol$ed normally, and in all likelihood will pro$ide a massi$e aid to the +mperial Guard in the coming assault. After the effects of the shooting ha$e been resol$ed, the assault is resol$ed normally.

The Land 0aiders ha$e taken an ad$ance action and mo$ed to the position shown in the photograph below. The "pace -arine player is able to draw a line of fire less than 5Ecms long to a unit in the "pace -arine Tactical formation, and so is able to claim the crossfire bonus when shooting on the /rks. The Land 0aiders, lascannon are ineffecti$e against the /rk infantry, but their hea$y bolters inflict three hits. The (: sa$e modifier means that it is impossible for the /rks to make their armour sa$e so three units are remo$ed as casualties. Fi$e Blast markers are inflicted on the /rks1 one for coming under fire, two for the first casualty caused by the hea$y bolter fire, and two more for the remaining two casualties. There are only fi$e units left in the /rk warband, so the fi$e Blast markers inflicted by the Land 0aiders are Kust enough to break the warband.

&E'I#N (4N(EPT Assaults

The rules for assaults that follow are a crucial part of the 'pic rules, and so it,s important to understand what they represent. .nlike most wargames, where assaults only really co$er hand(to(hand combat, in 'pic an assault co$ers e$erything that happens when a formation is ordered to assault an enemy formation. To put this another way, if you think of an assault as co$ering e$erything that happens in a typical 5(@ turn game of Warhammer 56,666, then you won,t go too far wrongF This means that while hand(to(hand combat >called close combat in 'pic? can be a part of what happens in an assault, it is by no means e$erything that happens. =ou will find it !uite common for assaults to be resol$ed without any units making it into close combat at all, Kust as games of Warhammer 56,666 can be resol$ed without any close combat taking place. /ne final point that needs to be made here is that an assault only occurs if a formation takes an engage action. This means it is possible for enemy formations to end up $ery close to each other >less than :Ecms? without ha$ing to fight an assault. This reflects your troops, natural inclination to get under co$er when they are close to the enemy unless they are ordered to attack.

&E'I#N (4N(EPT Assault Weapons and 'mall Arms

-any unit datasheets include weapons that are noted as being either assault weapons or small arms. The term assault weapons co$ers all of the di$erse close combat weapons of the 5:st -illennium, including chainswords, power weapons and /rk choppas. The effect of these weapons is included in a unit,s %lose %ombat $alue and so they can only be used during an assault. For e&ample, Assault -arines with chainswords ha$e the effect of these weapons included in their %lose %ombat $alue of BC. The term Gsmall arms, co$ers a di44ying array of short(range weapons used by units in the 5:st -illennium. '&amples include lasguns, bolters and /rk shootas. The effect of these weapons is included in a unit,s Firefight $alue and can only be used during an assault. For e&ample, Tactical -arines with boltguns ha$e the effect of these weapons included in their Firefight $alue of 5C. An assault is the only time that units get to use their Gsmall arms, such as bolters or lasguns, although these weapons ha$e a nominal range of :Ecm on the unit datasheets. This represents the limited amounts of ammo carried for such weapons, and also that in combat most soldiers will keep their heads down and only shoot when the situation is really desperateF 3either of these problems generally apply to hea$y weapons teams, which is why these weapons get to shoot all of the time. -.-9.? +esolve Attacks99 All units "a&e two assault &alues, a close com*at &alue and a #ire#ig"t &alue. =nits t"at are in *ase-to-*ase contact wit" t"e enem( use t"e close com*at &alue! w"ile units t"at are not in *ase contact *ut are wit"in 1Icm and "a&e a line o# #ire to t"e

/ccasionally an attacker will wish to attack a position where units from two enemy formations are intermingled together.

All of the intermingled formations are allowed to make counter charges, and hits may be allocated to all of the formations in$ol$ed. /nce casualties ha$e been worked out, a 9#@ roll is used to resol$e the assault. Add together all of the Blast markers on the intermingled formations when working out the result of the assault. +f the defender loses then each formation is broken and must withdraw. +f the defender wins then each formation recei$es a number of Blast markers e!ual to the number of casualties it suffered in the combat >ie, if one defending formation lost two units and then another one, then the first would get two Blast markers and the other would recei$e one Blast marker?.

Tabletop wargaming is an imprecise science and can often generate rules !uestions. The sheer number of $ariables thrown up by the rules, army lists and $aried tabletop terrain pretty much guarantees that at some point during any game you and your opponent will ha$e a discussion about how e&actly to deal with a situation that has occurred, or you will find that you play the game using slightly different methods or con$entions. .sually, you will be able to o$ercome these differences by simply chatting about them with your opponent, but occasionally you will find that you each feel a rule or situation should be interpreted in a diametrically opposed way. "uch a situation can lead to a $ery heated debate that might spoil your enKoyment of the game, and because of this, when these situations occur try not to argue about the rules, and instead simply smile and say ;/kay, let,s play it your wayF< Trust me, you,ll find that this method of play is much more rela&ing and fun than bickering about rules, and you may find that you actually prefer your opponent,s method to your own. +t,s also the mature approach, which + think is rather appropriate for a game like 'pic, which when all is said and done is designed for e&perienced wargamers rather than e&perienced rules lawyers. ,3uff said, + hopeF

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.;.- Imperial 8oid 'hields

+mperial Titans are protected by $oid shield generators. The number of $oid shields each Titan has is noted on the Titan,s datasheet. 'ach $oid shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. #o not make armour sa$es for damage stopped by $oid shields, nor allocate Blast markers. /nce all of the shields ha$e been knocked down, the Titan may be damaged normally and you may make sa$ing throws against any hits that are scored. )its from close combat ignore $oid shields but units using their firefight $alues must first knock down any shields before they can damage the Titan. Poid shields that ha$e been knocked down can be repaired. 'ach Titan can repair one downed $oid shield in the end phase of each turn. +n addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either repair the $oid shield or remo$e Blast markers >eg, if you rolled a 9 you could repair 9 shields, remo$e 9 Blast markers or repair : shield and remo$e : Blast marker?.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.A.- 6arsight

'ldar Farseers are able to partially unra$el the threads of time, allowing them to foresee e$ents that may affect his army, and act to counter them. To represent this, any 'ldar formation that includes a unit with Farsight may ignore the (: Action test penalty when they try to retain the initiati$e. +n addition, once per turn the 'ldar player may attempt to retain the initiati$e twice in a row >i.e. the 'ldar player can retain the initiati$e and take another action after ha$ing successfully retained the initiati$e once already?. Any 'ldar formation may be chosen, including those that do not include a unit with Farsight, but at least one unit with Farsight must still be in play and on the battlefield. The formation must still pass an initiati$e test in order to carry out the action, and will suffer the (: modifier for retaining the initiati$e unless it includes a unit with Farsight. /nce the action has been taken the initiati$e returns to the opposing player.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.A.9 @it I +un Tactics

The 'ldar are a dying race, and any loss is deeply mourned. Because of this they ha$e de$eloped tactics that, when combined with their highly ad$anced technology, allows them to attack the enemy and then !uickly retire in order to a$oid any return fire. This special ability is reflected by the following special rules, which apply to all formations in an 'ldar army. 'ldar formations that take ad$ance or double actions may choose to shoot either before or after each mo$e. )owe$er, they may still only shoot once during the action. For e&ample, an 'ldar formation taking an ad$ance action could shoot and then mo$e or mo$e and then shoot, while a formation taking a double action could shoot and mo$e twice, mo$e twice and then shoot, or mo$e then shoot and then mo$e again. +n addition 'ldar formations that wins an assault are allowed to mo$e any distance up to their speed $alue when they consolidate, rather than being limited to a mo$e of Ecms as would normally be the case.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.A.: Eldar Technolog

The 'ldar are a technologically sophisticated race that make use of a number of de$ices that ha$e capabilities far in ad$ance of anything used by the other races in the gala&y. These technological ad$antages are represented in 'pic by the following special rules1 @olofield2 'ldar Titans are protected by a )olofield that is proKected from special wing(like structures on the Titan,s carapace. These fracture the image of the Titan making it appear as a swirling cloud of coloured motes to the naked eye, while at the same time disrupting any targeting de$ices attempting to lock onto the Titan. The o$erall result is to make the Titan a $ery hard target to hitF )olofields pro$ide Titans with a special BC sa$ing throw that can be taken instead of the Titan,s normal sa$ing throw. This sa$e may always be taken, e$en against hits in an assault or against Titan 2iller or -acro(weapons attacks. -ake a single sa$ing against weapons with the Titan 2iller ability, rather than a separate sa$e for each point of damage. +f a $ehicle with a )olofield also has 0einforced Armour, then it is allowed to re(roll its sa$ing throw unless hit by Lance, -acro(weapon or Titan 2iller attacks, but the re(roll must be made using the units armour sa$e rather than the )olofield sa$e. 3o Blast markers are placed for hits that are sa$ed by a )olofield. )ance2 A Lance uses a highly concentrated beam of laser energy to destroy hea$ily armoured targets. A unit with 0einforced Armour that is hit by a Lance weapon is not allowed to re(roll its sa$ing throw. Webwa Portal2 Webway portals are used by the 'ldar to safely tra$el through the Warp. 'ach Webway ortal included in the army allows the 'ldar player to pick up to three other formations, and keep them back on the %raftworld. Any formation,s that are kept on the %raftworld may enter play $ia the Webway ortal, by taking an action that allows them to make a mo$e, and then measuring their first mo$e from the position that a Webway ortal occupies on the tabletop. 3ote that the formation may appear through any Webway ortal, not Kust the one that was Gused, to allow the formation to be kept off(board. 3o more than one formation may tra$el through each Webway ortal each turn. +n the 'pic Tournament Game 0ules formations in reser$e with multiple deployment options must ha$e a designated deployment method during setup >e.g. Webway ortal, air transport or teleport?.

The #ark 'ldar are piratical raiders from the depths of the #ark %ity and the treacherous e&panses of space. #ue to their limited population, losses simply cannot be sustained at length. Because of this they ha$e de$eloped tactics that when combined with their highly ad$anced technology allows them to attack the enemy and then !uickly retire in order to a$oid any return fire. This ability is reflected by the following special rules, which apply to all formations in a #ark 'ldar army1 #ark 'ldar formations that take ad$ance or double actions may choose to shoot either before or after each mo$e. )owe$er, they may still only shoot once during the action. For e&ample, a #ark 'ldar formation taking an ad$ance action could shoot and then mo$e or mo$e and then shoot, while a formation taking a double action could shoot and mo$e twice, mo$e twice and then shoot, or mo$e then shoot and then mo$e again. +n addition, a #ark 'ldar formation that wins an assault is allowed to mo$e up to their full mo$ement when they consolidate, rather than being limited to a mo$e of Ecms as would normally be the case.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.-:.9 6leet of 6oot

With eons in which to practice pirating techni!ues upon the mon(keigh of the gala&y, the #ark 2in ha$e honed the skill of s!uee4ing e$ery bit of ad$antage from a lightning style attack. To represent this, #ark 'ldar formations do not incur the typical penalties that other races would after taking a -arch action. #ark 'ldar formations that ha$e marched may lend support in assaults, help claim a crossfire bonus, and e$en fire flak shots.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.-:.: &ark Eldar Technolog

Webwa Portals2 These smallish portals are used by the #ark 'ldar as much as the 'ldar. Allowing safe tra$el through the Warp, each Webway portal included in the army allows the #ark 'ldar player to keep up to three formations back in %ommorragh. Any of these reser$e formations may enter play $ia a Webway portal by taking an action that allows them to mo$e, then measuring its first mo$e from the portal on the tabletop. 3o more than one formation may tra$el through a single portal each turn. Wraithgate use is limited to formations made up e&clusi$ely of infantry, light $ehicles, and armored $ehicles with the walker ability >The feared 2ashnarak is the e&ception to the rule?. 'hadowfields2 #ark 'ldar war engines are shrouded in light absorbing energy fields which ser$e as a powerful defence against the massed guns of their cornered prey. 'ach shadowfield will absorb one successful hit before going downR no blast markers are caused for this hit >this includes firefight but not close combat?. A war engine with at least one shadowfield remaining automatically regains an additional field at the end of the rally phase of each turn. +f the shadowfields are completely knocked out, they will not return for the remainder of the game. The war engine can ne$er ha$e more shadowfields than originally allotted. +n addition an acti$e "hadowfield always counts as being in co$er >apply (: co$er modifier?. This has no effect on their engagements, howe$er, either in close combat or firefight.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.-?.- Necron Technolog

Necron2 3ecron technology allows many of its units to repair themsel$es at an accelerated rate. This is reflected as the 3ecron ability in a unit,s datasheet. .nits with the 3ecron ability that ha$e been destroyed can regenerate. Formations can return one pre$iously destroyed 3ecron unit in the end phase of each turn either on or off the board. +n addition, if a formation regroups on board it can use the dice rolls to either return units with the 3ecron ability to play or to remo$e blast markers or both >e.g., if you rolled a G9, you could return 9 units to play, remo$e 9 blast markers, or return : unit and remo$e : blast marker?. Formations off board are restricted to using their regroup function to remo$e blast markers only. Portals2 3ecron ortals are the primary means by which the 3ecron forces are transported across the gala&y. Any formation that is in the reser$es, either because it has not entered play or has left the board for any reason, may enter play $ia a portal as part of any acti$ation that allows mo$ement. -easure their mo$ement using the portal as the starting point. Additionally, formations may lea$e the board by entering a portal, taking them into the reser$es. 3ote that once in the reser$es they can either re(enter play immediately $ia another portal, pro$ided they ha$e mo$ement, or remain in the reser$es. 3ecron ortals can only be used by Armoured Pehicles with the walker ability, +nfantry, or Light Pehicles. 'ach portal can be used only once per turn for either entering or e&iting the battlefield, not for both. Thus a Formation may enter one portal with part of their mo$ement, and e&it from a second, unused portal, continuing their mo$ement from that portal. +f, at the end of the mo$ement, a unit is out of formation it is destroyed >see core rule :.J.5?. '&ample1 if you mo$ed a formation of four units through one portal and out another and two units were unable to make the full mo$ement >i.e. get through the second portal?, the 3ecron player would ha$e to choose which units were to be destroyed, the two that mo$ed through the portal or the two that didn,t. )iving *etal2 .nits made of li$ing metal recei$e a 0einforced Armor sa$ing throw against normal weapons, lance weapons, and e$en macro(weapons. +n addition, their sa$e is not reduced by sniper abilities. Any Titan 2iller attacks are automatically reduced to Titan 2iller >:? when resol$ing hits against Li$ing -etal units, and Li$ing -etal units are permitted a single armor sa$e. "ee the chart below.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.-?.9 Implacable Advance

The 3ecron are an offensi$e army, always on the ad$ance, stopping only to eliminate enemy positions before mo$ing on to har$est others. While subKect to disruption from losses and enemy fire, the mechanical nature of the 3ecron permits them to easily reorgani4e to maintain the offensi$e momentum. 3ecron formations recei$e a C: bonus to -arshal Actions. #ue to their steady, deliberate, nature 3ecron formations cannot take a -arch action.

'PE(IA) +0)E ?.-?.: Phase 4ut

When a 3ecron formation becomes broken, it does not Kust fall back, but also $anishes from the battlefield without lea$ing any proof of its e&istence. +n the end phase of the turn, remo$e the formation from the board into the reser$es, but keep it away from any destroyed units. The formation will roll to rally in the end phase, handling blast markers as per the core rules >see :.:5?. +t may re(enter by teleporting, or through a portal. +f there are not enough portals to deal with all the off(table formations, then the formation must remain off the table until a portal is a$ailable for it to use. +f the rally roll fails, the formation must remain in the reser$es until it rallies. 3ote that with the e&ception of the %,tan, no 3ecron War 'ngines may phase out.

&E'I#N (4N(EPT Tournament Terrain

The tournament game rules will work on any type of terrain. )owe$er, especially dense or e&tremely sparse terrain will fa$our some armies or troop choices o$er others. An /rk army with a lot of Boy4 will do well on a table co$ered with lots of terrain, for e&ample, while an /rk army with lots of buggies and gunwagons will do better on a table with sparse terrain. +n addition, certain terrain features can fa$our one army o$er another. )a$ing a ri$er running the length of the table will fa$our an army with a lot of skimmers and aircraft. =ou get the idea, +,m sure. Because of this, we recommend you use the following guidelines when setting up terrain for tournament games. These are not a set of hard and fast rules, but if they are used will ensure a well(balanced game no matter what army or units are taken. We recommend the use of terrain features when playing tournament games in preference to modular terrain >see the Appendices for a more detailed description of the two types of terrain?. Terrain features can be of pretty much any type, but should be roughly :E(B6cm across. )ills can be up to twice this si4e. "ee below for a note of how to deal with ri$ers and roads. #i$ide the table into @6cm >9 foot? s!uare areas. The total number of terrain features placed should be e!ual to twice the number of @6cm s!uare areas. For e&ample, if you were playing on a :96cm by :A6 cm, you would ha$e si& areas and should place :9 terrain features. Within the limits abo$e, place between 6(5 features in each @6cm s!uare. The terrain may include one ri$er. 0i$ers count as a terrain feature for each area that they run through. They need to enter on one table edge and lea$e from another, and should not be greater in length than the shortest table edge. For e&ample, on a :96cm by :A6cm table, the ri$er should not be more than :96cm long. There should be a bridge or ford e$ery B6cm along the ri$er. 0oads may be added after all terrain features ha$e been placed. Any number of roads may be used. They need to enter on one table edge and either e&it from another or end at a terrain feature.

&E'I#N (4N(EPT A.9.- The O(ounts As +ule

=ou may if you wish decide that certain units in your army Gcount as, something else from the army lists that is of roughly the same si4e and function. This is especially useful if you are using old models that are no longer in the range and therefore not co$ered in the army lists, or you are using models that are painted differently. For e&ample, you might ha$e managed to lay your hands on some of the old metal /rk "!uigoth models that we made many years ago but that are now no longer in the range. 0ather than lea$ing these models languishing on the shelf you could simply decide that they Gcount as, /rk Battlewagons, which are roughly the same si4e as a "!uigoth and ha$e a similar function. Alternati$ely, you may ha$e decided to use the "teel Legion army list to represent a different +mperial Guard regiment with a $ery different colour scheme. Again, it would be a great shame not to be able to use your gorgeously painted army, and the Gcounts as, rule will allow you to do so. )owe$er, if you decide to use the Gcounts as, rule, then there are three $ery important things to bear in mind1 First of all, before the game starts you must tell your opponent that you ha$e decided to use the Gcounts as, rule, and you must let him know what counts as what. "econdly, this rule is here to allow you to use all the models in your collection, not as a method of fine(tuning your army for e$ery game that you play. Therefore you may not use the Gcounts as, rule for units that are actually co$ered in the army lists. For e&ample, if you ha$e a model of a Land "peeder, then you must use it as a Land "peeder and pay the points for a Land "peederR you could not use it as a Land "peeder Tornado, or a redator, or any other unit for that matter. By the same token, a Land "peeder Tornado must be used as a Land "peeder Tornado and can,t stand in for any other units. This rule is included to pre$ent confusion and keep game play as e$en and balanced as possible. 3ote that you can paint the unit in any way you like, you Kust can,t count it as a different unit from the list. Finally, if you decide that any unit in your army Gcounts as, something else, then all of that type of unit in your army must count as the same thing. For e&ample, if you decided that your old "!uigoth model was a Battlewagon, then all the "!uigoths in your army would ha$e to be Battlewagons D you couldn,t ha$e one "!uigoth as a Battlewagon, one as a Gunwagon, and so on.

The 'ldar are a highly mobile army, and rarely ha$e enough forces to try to take and hold ground. Because of this, instead of maintaining a hea$ily garrisoned front line, they will usually rely on a screen of 0angers and War Walkers to warn of the approach of any enemy forces. -eanwhile the bulk of the highly mobile 'ldar army will be held back in reser$e, where it will be ready to mo$e !uickly to any threatened sector. This tactic allows the 'ldar to hold large areas of ground with relati$ely few troops. To represent these tactics, only 'ldar 0angers and War Walkers are allowed to garrison obKecti$es in the 'pic tournament game scenario.

Ten thousand years ago, the +mperium of -an was beset by a de$astating ci$il war known as the )orus )eresy. "e$eral "pace -arine Legions rebelled against the ;False 'mperor< under the persuasi$e(yet( corrupt leadership of Warmaster )orus, a former lieutenant of the 'mperor who fell under %haos, sway. "pace -arine fought brother "pace -arine, culminating in a final battle at the +mperial alace on )oly Terra. Though the forces of the +mperium were $ictorious, the 'mperor of -ankind was mortally wounded and encased in the Golden Throne to sustain his life. -eanwhile, the sur$i$ing rebel "pace -arines fled for the 'ye of Terror, a massi$e Warp storm on the northeastern edge of the gala&y. )ere, warpspace mi&ed with realspace and the #aemons of %haos could manifest themsel$es. The traitor "pace -arines took refuge in the 'ye of Terror, launching raids and Black %rusades from their maelstrom base. These %haos "pace -arines became an endless plague upon the +mperium, wreaking ha$oc in the name of their %haos Gods. %haos "pace -arines ha$e most of the capabilities of regular "pace -arines, though they also ha$e %haos abilities and gear that make them uni!ue.

Formations that purchase the #aemonic act upgrade >see army lists in @.:: and @.:9? are able to summon daemons to the battlefield. +n order to summon daemons, a player must first purchase a single #aemon ool from which all formations with the #aemonic act upgrade will summon. #aemons in the #aemon ool are purchased and noted only as being lesser or greater daemons, not by their faction. The summoning formation,s faction dictates what types of daemons may be summoned >see below?. layers should either write down the contents of their #aemon ool or use tokens to indicate the number of each lesser and greater daemon they ha$e a$ailable to summon during a game. The %haos player,s opponent is always able to $iew the number of lesser and greater daemons remaining in the #aemon ool. The #aemon ool is kept off the board and daemons are remo$ed from it as formations summon daemons onto the board. At the start of that formation,s action, before the action test dice roll is made, the formation may summon daemonic units from the #aemon ool. "ummoning allows you to call 9#B summoning points worth of daemonic units to the battlefield >the number of summoning points it costs to summon a unit will be listed on its data sheet, but as a general rule greater daemons cost A summoning points and all other units cost : summoning point each?. "ummoning points must be used to summon daemonic units from the #aemon ool and summoned units are brought into play immediately. +f for any reason any summoning points generated are not used, they are lost and may not be carried o$er into subse!uent turns. =ou may only summon as many daemons as you ha$e left in your #aemon ool. Left o$er daemonic units may be summoned during a later turn. #aemonic units that are destroyed are remo$ed from play and are not put back into the #aemon ool. Broken formations or formations that ha$e not bought a #aemonic act may not summon daemons. layers may only ha$e one greater daemon of a gi$en faction in the army on the board at one time. For e&ample, if you already ha$e a summoned Bloodthirster on the board you are not allowed to summon another Bloodthirster until that first greater daemon has been remo$ed from play. "ummoned units must be set up with their base within Ecm of any non(daemonic unit from their formation, >i.e. you cannot place a Gchain, of summoned units?. They may not be set up in the Sone of %ontrol of an enemy unit or in impassable terrain. The type of unit that can be summoned depends on the summoning formation,s faction, as follows1

"ummoned units count as part of the formation for all rules purposes as long as they remain on the battlefield. "ummoned units are '&pendable, but they are otherwise counted as normal units, and are included when working out if a formation outnumbers an opponent in an assault or is broken by Blast markers, etc. 3ote that #aemons that are killed in an assault do count towards the number of units killed by the enemy when working out modifiers for assault resolution. +f a formation loses an assault >see :.:9.A? remo$e e&tra hits from the formation before it is broken and all the remaining summoned units are then remo$ed. "ummoned units remain on the battlefield until the end phase of the turn in which they are summoned. +n the end of the rally phase, after formations ha$e attempted to rally, all summoned units in the formation are remo$ed from the board and placed back into the #aemon ool unless the formation has a unit with #aemonic Focus >see E.::.9?. Greater #aemons that are returned to the #aemon ool keep the same #% they had when they left the battlefield. They do not heal back to full #%, so when summoned again they will ha$e that same #%. "ummoned units that are destroyed are not put back into the #aemon ool. 3ote that this may lead to the formation breaking if the number of Blast markers on the formation is greater than the number of units left in play after the summoned units ha$e been remo$ed. When a formation breaks any summoned units in the formation are lost in the warp and considered destroyed. They do not go back into the #aemon ool.

The "pace -arines are a highly mobile army. Because of this, the points cost of a detachment usually includes enough 0hino transport $ehicles to transport it and any upgrades that ha$e been taken. #etermine the number of 0hinos needed after all upgrades ha$e been purchased. The number of 0hinos will always be the minimum needed to carry the formation, you can,t take e&tras along to co$er any lossesF 3ote that many formations don,t recei$e 0hinos, usually because they can,t fit into them. #etachments that come with 0hinos will be noted as ha$ing Gplus transport, in the units section of the army list opposite. Also note that Terminators must take either Teleport or ha$e Land 0aiders. They may not start the game as foot infantry.

'PE(IA) +0)E A.-E.9 Thunderhawk Transporter

The entire Thunderhawk Transporter detachment is counted as a single war engine for the purposes of war engine transport >see B.:.B?, e.g. a Thunderhawk Transporter detachment can carry units from another formation, as long as the entire formation can fit inside the Thunderhawk Transporters .
