FAQ

Doubles Formatting Team Compositions: Each player will bring a list of up to 1000pts, for a total for 2000pts per pair of players.

• Abilities/Stratagems/Army Rules that target “Friendly Units” do not affect your teammates' units. 
• Teams must be made up of two Unique Codexes. This rule is in place to avoid overpowering combos revolving around multiple of the same datasheet as well as confusion over what abilities affect what models. (This also affects supplemental codexes like Codex: Blood angels, Dark Angels, as well as the divergent chapters with Index rules. Lists are to be made up of a maximum of 1000pts worth of models per player.)
• * Teams may not draw from the same codexes in any way shape or form, this includes taking allies from your teammate’s army. Ie: Using Imperial Knights allies while your teammate is playing Codex: Imperial Knights.
• * Command Point Generation: Teams may only generate a maximum of Three Command points per battle round. These Command points are shared between the two players, acting as a pool to pull from. (Two of those command points are generated at the start of each turn during the battle round. This leaves one command point to be generated through one of the non-traditional ways. (Ie: Secondary recycling, Unit Abilities, etc.)
