Oldhammer 40000 2Nd Edition Tournament What v1.0 01.26.2019 OLDHAMMER 40,000 2ND EDITION TOURNAMENT AdeptiCon reserves the right to modify, update, clarify, or change event rules in the interest of making AdeptiCon the best event possible. No fundamental rules changes will be made to the event after 02.01.2019. WHAT IS THIS TOURNAMENT? This is a Warhammer 40,000 (“40K”) tournament, using the Warhammer 40,000 Second Edition rules (“2E”). This tournament uses the rules from the 1996 Gen Con 40K Tournament, modified to make this tournament more “Oldhammer”. 1996 was the first year of official 40K tournaments in America, so this is as far back as 40K tournament rules go. Why a 2E tournament? We want to offer people an opportunity to experience our hobby’s past and its characterful games of 40K. 2E is the most characterful edition of 40K for which GW established tournament rules. One could argue that 40K’s original rules (“Rogue Trader”) are more characterful than 2E, but Rogue Trader never had official tournament rules. GW held the first official 40K tournament ever in 1995 in England, the Grand Tournament using 2E rules. In 1998, GW abandoned characterful 40K for the profit-driven mass armies of 40K 3rd and subsequent editions. How is 2E different from later editions of 40K? Like Rogue Trader, 2E is more characterful. This means that individual models matter more than in later editions. For example, units can go into overwatch. Models can throw individual grenades, each with their own blast markers. Character models’ statistics and gear raise them higher above rank-and-file models. Special weapons, other wargear and psychic powers have more characterful and extensive rules modeling their effects. Detailed faction-specific rules like Tyranid total warfare and Sisters of Battle prayers also give each faction greater individuality and character. 2E accordingly has a lower model count and is more complex. For most factions a 1,500-point tournament army (the standard then) is less than 50 models and can be less than 40. Even model-heavy factions like Imperial Guard and Tyranids top out below 75 models. Why might I enjoy playing 2E? First, it’s our hobby’s history. Playing 2E takes you back in time to earlier 40K canon and its rich fluff. It’s a time when Orks weren’t fungi and dwarves (squats) had a playable army list. Second, the focus on individual models gives a different emphasis to games. 2E games focus on maneuvering individual models like later editions focus on maneuvering entire units. It’s not Combat Patrol or skirmish level, but something in between that and giant armies that was fun. It’s a different tactical challenge. So, what makes this tournament “Oldhammer”? Isn’t “Oldhammer tournament” an oxymoron? From an “orthodox” Oldhammer perspective, an Oldhammer tournament is an oxymoron. Oldhammer games are supposed to be story-driven, not competitive. But we feel that a mini-tournament with the proper structure and emphasis can also be a great way to meet fellow 2E enthusiasts. Also, the simple fact is that 2E uses point-based lists and structured play. If you want to experience 2E, then you must engage with that play structure. And without boring you with specifics, we have changed the tournament rules to give this tournament an Oldhammer spirit. TOURNAMENT RULES Army Composition Rules • Build your army up to a maximum 750 points, using the point values in the relevant codex or other army list • No special (named) characters. But, you may use a special character model to represent a “regular” army commander or other non-special character • You may ignore your codex’s or other army list’s requirement for an army commander, e.g. an Eldar army doesn’t have to be led by an Avatar or Farseer, a Chaos army doesn’t have to be led by a Chaos Lord, an Imperial Guard army doesn’t have to be led by an HQ command, etc. v1.0 01.26.2019 OLDHAMMER 40,000 2ND EDITION TOURNAMENT • Wargear cards are limited per White Dwarf #195, pp. 46-47. The ruling in White Dwarf #195 resolved the issue of multiple printings of some wargear cards (e.g. Dark Millennium duplicating codexes) that arguably increased the number of a given wargear card available to an army. To summarize: o You may not use a wargear card normally carried by a special character, e.g. no Rune Staff Stormcaller (carried by Njal Stormcaller), Maugatar (carried by Maugan Ra), etc. o If a wargear card is not normally carried by a special character and does not appear on the list below, then you may have one of that card in your army. o If the wargear card appears on the list below, then you may take as many of it as you like within the other restrictions of your codex or other army list and the wargear card itself. For example, some wargear cards are restricted to certain factions, e.g. only Eldar can take the firepike. ammo feed scanner spirit stone armour piercing seeking ammo firepike ammo targeter lasblaster aux. grenade haywire grenade web of skulls launcher refractor field doc’s tools bionic arm auto launchers kustom blasta bionic eye combi-weapon kustom shoota bionic leg photon beam mekboy’s tools cameleoline searchlight steel skull frenzon servo arm weirdboy staff jump pack bright lance medi-pack seer runes o Tyranid biomorphs are not wargear and are restricted only as set forth in Codex Tyranids, p. 66. • A model can only have one fixed saving throw (comes from White Dwarf #196) • No allies, except that Space Marine and Imperial Guard armies may have Imperial agents • You may not purchase bunkers or fortifications Psykers • There is no limit on taking psykers, but you cannot take a psychic power that requires three force cards to cast. Remove all such cards from force decks before the game. Pychic powers that have variable strength up to three force cards are fine, but no variable psychic power may be cast with three force cards. • To prevent one side from obtaining all of the cards from a particular power deck, each player will draw powers from a separate deck. WYSIWYG • Each model must be of the troop type that it represents. You should be able to see on the model the weapons, wargear and other equipment that it is carrying, except knives and grenades. Acceptable Models • Any manufacturer’s models are acceptable, this is Oldhammer. Unpainted models are acceptable, this is Oldhammer. Convert and paint your models however you like, they are your models and it is your army. Just come and have fun. Acceptable Rules and Army Lists • This tournament will use the following sources of 2E rules, wargear cards and army lists: o 2E Rulebook o Dark Millennium o The Wargear book o 2E codexes v1.0 01.26.2019 OLDHAMMER 40,000 2ND EDITION TOURNAMENT • Vehicle datafaxes (vehicle cards), including third party datafaxes for third party licensee models, e.g. models by Armorcast, Forge World, etc. • White Dwarf issues, for army lists or units not appearing in a 2E codex, e.g., Necrons, Adeptus Arbites, Legion of the Damned, Eldar Falcon gravtanks, etc.; note that the Warhammer 40,000 Battles book is simply a compilation of White Dwarf articles • The Codex Army Lists book (black and white precodex), for army lists or units not appearing in a 2E codex or White Dwarf, e.g. Squats, Imperial Guard assault squads and penal legion squads, etc. Missions • Each team will be assigned a random mission as normal, to succeed or fail at as a team. Due to time limits and the lack of bunkers and fortifications, teams will receive a mission from the following selections: o Your team includes at least one Tyranid army: engage & destroy; dawn raid; terrorize; trap o The opposing team includes at least one Tyranid army and your team does not: engage & destroy; the assassins; witch hunt; take & hold o No Tyranid army on either team: engage & destroy; dawn raid; take & hold; the assassins; witch hunt; guerilla war Strategy Cards and Strategy Ratings • This game uses strategy cards, as well as the Tyranid event tables from Codex Tyranids, pp. 63-64. Remove the virus outbreak strategy card from the deck. When playing against Tyranids, also remove the malfunction and traitor strategy cards from the deck. • The two armies comprising a team deploy together and take a joint turn together. The strategy rating of a team is the average of the two armies’ respective strategy ratings, rounded up. For example, a team consisting of a Space Marine army (strategy rating 5) and an Imperial Guard army (strategy rating 2) has a strategy rating of 4: (5+2)/2 = 3.5, rounded up to 4. Time Limit • Due to limited playing time, each game has a limit of four turns or two hours and 15 minutes, whichever comes first. Target Selection • This game uses the “choosing a target” clarifications from Codex Tyranids, pp. 59-60, which 1) classify models into “vehicle”, “monstrous-sized”, “man-sized” and “smaller”; and 2) clarify rules for sustained fire, blast marker and template weapons. GAMEPLAY What Must I Bring to the Tournament? • Your models; a pile of D6; measuring sticks or tape measure; the usual • Scatter, artillery and sustained fire dice, if your army includes weapons that use them; 2E templates, if your army includes weapons that use them • Two copies of your army list • 2E Rulebook for your own reference, also Dark Millennium for your own reference if applicable to your army • A hard copy of the rules materials governing your army.

  • Warhammer 40K: Orks by Aehriman
    Warhammer 40K: Orks By Aehriman The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude​. -Ulthan the Perverse, controversial Eldar philosopher "Of all the races I have battled throughout the galaxy, the Ork is the hardest to comprehend. They wage war with machines that should not work, care little for strategic gains, and are just as likely to slaughter each other as the enemy. How does one battle an enemy that defies all logic?" -Captain Varnael Larik, Rogue Trader The Orks plague the galaxy from end to end with their ceaseless warring and strife. They are a race rooted so deeply in war that peace is utterly incomprehensible to them. They cannot be bargained with or bought save with weapons that they will inevitably turn against those who tried to bribe them. I pray with all my faith that some great catastrophe will annihilate them but I fear that ultimately it is they, not we, who shall rule the galaxy. -Xanthius, High Lord of Terra "​Orkses is neva defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin' so it don't count. If we runz for it we don't lose eva, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!​" -Common Ork Saying WAAAAAAAAAAAGH! -Every Ork Ever Alright, shut yer gobs an listen up.

  • Warlords of the Dark Millennium
    TIGURIUS ‘It cannot be considered a gift, to peer into the Warp and unravel the possibilities of the futures that are, that might be and that must be prevented. Nor can the burden of a weapon, that each of my brothers looks upon with girded revulsion, be called a gift. No, Master, I do not think my psychic prowess a gift… but a tool. Whether by a quirk of fate, or the will of the Emperor, I possess a weapon the like of which can turn the tide, not just in a battle but in the course of history. To withhold it, to flinch from its use or deny it would not just be counter-productive, it would be heresy. But if it is a gift, it is a cruel one.’ - From the journal of Lord Macragge, Marneus Calgar, quoting Varro Tigurius, 991.M41 THE CHIEF LIBRARIAN Though the Ultramarines are warriors, their Chapter is typified by a warm, generous personality. Ultramarines are of noble demeanour and regal countenance, fierce when roused to anger, but considered urbane and just towards those who are their allies. Among their ranks, however, one stands out as a man alone, an Ultramarine to whom the ready camaraderie of a brother-in-arms comes difficult, if at all. His is a soul burdened by the weight of his calling, afflicted by a power that sets him apart from those around him. He the mightiest psyker in the Ultramarines Chapter, if not the entire Imperium, and his name is Varro Tigurius. Varro is a common enough name within the Ultramar Segmentum and many of the heroes of the Ultramarines Chapter have borne it over the millennia.

(If you thought Nagash is a big model, well, the Glottkin are bigger!) Chaos is waxing strong and the three brothers Glott – Nurgle’s chosen champions – march on the Old World as the vanguard of Archaon’s invasion force. An unholy alliance of Undead and men stands against them, but can they prevail? Warhammer: Glottkin holds the answer – as do you, in your own End Times games. Like Warhammer: Nagash, Warhammer: Glottkin is stuffed full of epic stories, plus a Warshrine’s worth of new rules to enact them in your own battles. Not least amongst these are the guidelines for fielding a Legion of Chaos – a unified force of destruction that draws on Warriors of Chaos, Daemons and Beastmen. And Nagash doesn’t get all the summoning fun to himself – Chaos sorcerers everywhere can now call forth Daemons from the Realm of Chaos to fight for them.

  • An Acolyte's Tutelage
    An Acolyte’s Tutelage By Ruaridh Dall, Robey Jenkins and Derek Gillespie An Unexpected Enquiry like their Nurglite Sorcerer accompanied by his daemonic minions, or a “fully-loaded” Space Marine. Several months ago, at the end of 2010, I received an e- mail to my moderatorial inbox at The Conclave. My dilemma is that, one the one hand, I as a GM write this “Rhinocaps” (the joys of forum usernames!) was asking me campaign, and I want people to be able to come up with really for my thoughts on various aspects of Inquisitor. Initially, I creative ideas for their warband. I don't care if one of their began to type a reply, but it then occurred to me that there characters happens to be an Eldar pirate, but sometimes was something more interesting lurking within the subject people ask for what I believe are such big deviations from the matter. It’s been quite a while since Dark Magenta let script that, for me, it takes the fun out of writing and running someone get back up on the metaphorical soap-box, and I the campaign. I felt that Derek’s article also touched on this – thought that Rhinocaps’ e-mail was the perfect chance to it's about the story, and if you want to go kick ass and chew let a few highly-opinionated souls hold court once again. bubblegum maybe Inquisitor is not the game you should play. Here’s what Rhinocaps had to say: On the other hand, it had me thinking, 'Am I not very selfish?" If you think about it, I write the campaign and I would I not Dear Dark Magenta, like to see warbands that fit the campaign atmosphere? So I am simultaneously asking for the creativity of my fellow I just read Derek Gillespie's "Piercing the Shadows" article, gamers but, at the same time, I limit what they like so it fits and I was quite happy to read such a critical view on the way "my" idea of Inquisitor.

  • White Dwarf Index
    NOTES ON THIS INDEX This Index lists the most important articles that have been published in White Dwarf from issue 68 to issue 251. There are several points that I would like to make about this Index. • The Index only lists the main articles published in each issue, it does not list the Games Workshop News, Mail Order or What’s Happening at the GW Stores (as features in these articles will be out of date and largely irrelevant). • From Issues 110 onwards all of the articles are categorised according to which game they are relevant to, there is a column for Warhammer 40,000 (commonly referred to as WH40K) articles, a column for Warhammer Fantasy Battle (referred to as WHFB or just Warhammer), one for Various Games (all of the other games WD features), one for Terrain articles (just terrain, not painting guides) and one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. For issues 102 and earlier there are only three columns. One for Various Games that are featured (including Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle) one for Roleplay Games like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (commonly referred to as WFRP) and lastly, one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. This is because, back then, there wasn’t always a WH40K and/or WHFB article. There was however, a plethora of other games produced by other companies as well as lots of Roleplay games that are just never seen now. If things carry on as they are, I might have to change the columns from Issues 248 onward to just include just WH40K, WHFB and Miscellaneous Articles, because that’s what White Dwarf seems to be completely dedicating itself to these days… • Since Games Workshop re-releases games every so often (generally Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle), articles about such games are only relevant to the edition of the game that was around at the time when that issue was printed.

  • These Are the Last Q&As from Games-Workshop and Rules
    Question and Answers (Q&A) These are the last Q&As from Games-Workshop and rules clarifications they released for 2nd edition, and were downloaded from www.escape.com/~5timer, which has temporarily become unavailable. The Q&As begin in 1995, and get newer the farther down you go. For any answers contradicted by later ones, assume the later answers are the correct ones, as this represents the game designers rethinking certain problems based on extensive gameplay. Please note that these are NOT Voidhammer's interpretations, these are the last known official clarifications and are compiled for your benefit. Key to Abbreviations: SQ = Stupid Question, GQ = Good Question, Ed. = Editor's notes, there is still some dispute. Also inserted into here are excerpts from The Realm of Inisfail's 2nd edition Mega Q&A, which is official as well and covers some of the more obscure or difficult questions. Visit them for more great Warhammer and Warhammer 40k stuff at: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/2741/frames2.html QUESTIONS GENERALES (1) The "choosing the closest target" rules say that the closest squad may be ignored by models with heavy weapons in favor of closest vehicles, however the rules don't say anything about a reverse situation. Do the rules mean that a heavy weapon model may ignore a closer vehicle in order to fire at the closest squad? (this came up when a single jetbike was used to screen a squad of Wraithguard from a heavy weapon squad) Yes, the rule should have 'and vice-versa' tagged on the end of it.

This Warhammer 40,000 omnibus contains three novels of war and heroism, each with its associated short story, written specially for this collection. • Fifteen Hours, by Mitchel Scanlon • Death World, by Steve Lyons • Rebel Winter, by Steve Parker In the 41st millennium, the human Imperium fights a constant battle to protect its domains from the many enemies who seek to conquer and overwhelm it. Though the superhuman Space Marines are strong and noble, their numbers are limited, and it is the massed ranks of the Imperial Guard who form the first line of defence. With incredible manpower, and supported by massive battle tanks and hordes of priests, clerks and engineers, it is an indomitable war machine – the Conqueror, the Unstoppable, the Hammer of the Emperor. The Black Library Page 2 Fifteen Hours, by Mitchel Scanlon Trooper Larn gets a baptism of fire when his regiment is sent to Jumal IV, a world overrun by barbaric orks. Both sides are dug in and desperate, and this is war at its most deadly. With the average lifespan of a Guardsman calculated at only fifteen hours, will Larn even survive his first day? Death World, by Steve Lyons Their skills honed on the death world from which they hail, the Catachan jungle fighters are renowned for their toughness and savagery.
