Bring Your Best
Painting Standard
- All teams must be painted to battle-ready standard — at least three colours applied and a painted base.
- Unpainted models will not be accepted for play.
WYSIWYG & Proxies
- Proxies are permitted — the model must clearly represent the original and the loadout must match the rules. A gunner with a special weapon needs a visibly different weapon to a standard warrior.
- Kitbashes and creative conversions are actively encouraged — but your modelling choices should never create confusion for your opponent.
- A melee operative must look like a melee operative. Not a rocket launcher.
- If you have any doubts about the legality of your team, contact the TO in advance with photos. We're happy to confirm.
- Talk your opponent through your models at the start of each game, especially if using proxies. Being open and forthcoming is part of keeping the game enjoyable.
