GamesWorkshop Matched Play Format
GW has released a few rules changes to matched play which many tournament, including the Iron Halo, have decided to implement these rules changes to their tournament.  These rules include the following...
  • "Boots on the Ground" - Flyers can never score objectives
  • "First Turn" - After deployment, players roll off to determine first turn with the player that finished deploying first getting a +1 to their roll. 
  • "Objective Secured" - Troops control objectives even if their are other enemy units in range, provided those units are not also troops. For more information please read the ITC 8th Edition Guidelines on page 5. 
Also, we will be requiring Warlord Traits, psychic powers, relics, faction keywords, and pregame stratagems.  They must be written on your army list and stay consistent throughout the tournament.

Faction Scoring
  • Your faction is determined as follows: find the the most specific Faction Keyword (which is typically the last Faction Keyword listed on each unit's’ datasheet) shared by every model in the detachment with the most points in it in your army. While viewing the Iron Halo Faction Awards Chart, consult column B in the chart above. Your Iron Halo scoring faction is the corresponding Iron Halo Faction Award in column D.
