Any unit in a compulsory choice in a non-formation detachment must cost more than 50 points
including any upgrades.
All models must be WYSIWYG, fully painted and based. If your army is painted as a recognised
chapter then you must use the correct codex and/or chapter tactics. Also all models with special
rules conferred by detachment rules must be clearly marked differently to those without. If you're
unsure of how to do this then please contact the organisers.
All lists must be submitted to laurie.adams1904@gmail.com and djhendrsn@googlemail.com
by the 31st October for list checking. Failure to submit your final legal list by this date will result in
a 5 point deduction from your score. Please submit all file as .pdf .doc or equivalent. If I can’t read
your file because I can’t open them then I can’t check it.

For the 3 Maelstrom missions we are using a modified deck. You may note the numbers of up to 6 cards
on your army list. These will be removed from the maelstrom deck before the start of the game along with
card 41 (Recon). If you draw a card that is impossible during the game then you must keep it and may
discard it as you would any other card.
Also due to the impracticalities of rolling dice, especially when that roll has to be kept secret, all players
will be expected to bring a set of maelstrom cards with them. If you do not have a card deck you will not
be able to generate any cards. You have been warned!!
FAQ/Errata/Amendments
The following are the FAQ and house rules for Warfare 2015. If GW/FW come out with an official
FAQ/Errata which clarifies any of these points then use that will trump what is written here. If you have
any questions either about these rulings or generally please email them to
laurie.adams1904@gmail.com and djhendrsn@googlemail.com
Core Rules
 The effect of the ‘Invisibility’ psychic power only reduces any unit shooting at it to unmodifiable
BS1 (but does not force snap shots) and any unit fighting it in close combat is unmodifiable WS1
when attacking (but not when being attacked).
 Gate of infinity cannot affect a unit containing a model with the ‘Very Bulky’ or ‘Extremely Bulky’
special rules.
 Monstrous Creatures, Flying Monstrous Creatures, Gargantuan Creatures and Flying Gargantuan
Creatures cannot benefit from cover saves conferred by simply being in a piece of terrain they
must be 25% obscured to claim a cover save.
 If a unit has an Imperial Armour entry as well as a codex entry (eg: the Leman Russ Vanquisher)
then you use the base points cost of the model from the codex and then any IA armour upgrades
are then costed as per the IA entry. So a Vanquisher with a Co-axial Storm Bolter will cost
145pts. Please note that this does not give you access to specialist equipment that is unique to IA
lists (eg: Beast Hunter Shells).
 As buildings do not have a unit type they gain no benefit from the scout special rule
 Buildings claim cover saves in the same way as Vehicles
 A Decurion style detachment must have all units chosen from the same set of codex or
supplement rules.
 A unit cannot increase its BS because it is firing snap shots
 Models from the Armies of the Imperium cannot use summoning powers.
Astra Militarum
 None
Blood Angels
 None
Chaos Daemons

The new Bloodthirsters in WD replace the Bloodthirster entry in Codex Chaos Daemons. If any of
the 3 Bloodthirster variants are taken then Daemon princes with the Daemon of Khorne upgrade
may be taken as Heavy Support choices within that detachment.
Chaos Space Marines
 None
Craftworld Eldar
 The Iyanden supplement cannot be used at Warfare
 Replace the Warp Hunter’s D-Flail profile with the following:
Blast- R:24” S:D AP:2 Heavy 3, Blast, Barrage, Distort Scythe
RiftR: Template S:D AP:2 Heavy 1, Distort Scythe
In both cases treat it as S:7 for the purposes of working out instant death.
Cult Mechanicus
 The Dataspike can be used as a regular melee weapon in addition to the hit it does at the I10
step.
Dark Angels
 A Ravenwing detachment may include a Chaplain or Librarian on bike as an HQ choice.

now will continue to be allowed.
