Coliseum of Comics in Kissimmee Doubles Tournament!

Hi Guys!


December 13, 2008!

Warhammer 40k Doubles Tournament

Starting at 11:00 am


The holidays are upon the 40k universe, and a strange spell has come over the various race. A spell of tidings and good cheer. That is until someone (probably an Ork) broke the keg of cider, and then all hell broke loose. Bizarre alliances sprung forth, and the Naughty and the Slightly Nicer strode forth, Arm in Tentacle/Psuedopod/Scything Talon to wage war against those who they blame for burning the Yuletide Heretic too early (probably the Sisters).


The Official Rules
Naughty and Nice(ish) Doubles Tournament

Start Time: 11am
Points per Player: 750pts
Cost: $5.00 per player
3 rounds

One player must play one of the following races (Naughty)
Chaos Daemons
Chaos Marines
Dark Eldar
Necrons
Orks
Tyranids

The other player must play one of the following races (Nice(ish)):
Daemonhunters
Eldar
Imperial Guard
Space Marines (All Flavors)
Tau Empire
Witch Hunters

*(If your team can not meet the naughty/nice(ish) theme it is OK! Small amount of bonus points are given to those who can though.)

Both players naughty and nice have to select 1 HQ and 1 Troop.

The TEAM build:
2 HQs
2-6 Troops
0-3 Elites
0-3 Heavy
0-3 Fast

*Side note: Bonus points for snow bases and holiday inspired objective markers.
