BATTLEGROUP SELECTION Players must select a 2000 points matched play Titan Legio Battlegroup or Knight Household Battlegroup using the rules published in the Adeptus Titanicus Matched Play Guide, Traitor & Loyalist Legios and Campaign Compendium. Crusade Legio Battlegroups are permitted at this event.

Titans of Legend are not permitted at this event Princeps Traits and Knightly Qualities are to be selected at list creation and will be locked in for the duration of the event.

If you are running multiple maniples within your battlegroup, each maniple must have its own Princeps Seniores with their own trait. Each Princeps Seniores must have a different trait, duplicates are not permitted unless you are playing Legio Vulcanum.

Battlegroup lists must be submitted for review by November 24th 2024 to [email protected]

Psi Titans The Psi Titan is incredibly powerful and can be oppressive to play against, even at higher points levels. If you take a Psi Titan as part of your battlegroup, you will award your opponent an additional 2SP as if you were running a double Legio list.

STRATAGEMS Each player must create a Stratagem Hand of 8 stratagems to be used at the event which must be noted on their team battlegroup list as per the Adeptus Titanicus Matched Play Guide. Players will receive 4 Stratagem Points to use per game, plus an additional 2 for each set of Legio rules their opponent is using.

Players may choose from any applicable stratagems published in the main Adeptus Titanicus rulebook, Adeptus Titanicus Matched Play Guide, Traitor & Loyalist Legios books or the Campaign Compendium books.

Knight Household lists must choose from the Knight Strategems only. They cannot use Titan Legio Strategems.

Stratagems printed in White Dwarf will not be permitted.


FAQ & ERRATA We will be using any official FAQ & Errata document published by Games Workshop up to 24th November 2024, along with us aligning with the Twisted Titanicus Unofficial FAQ & Tournament Guide.

Any official FAQ & Errata published after this date will be used at the TO’s discretion.


MISSIONS

We will be using a selection of deployment maps, primary and secondary objectives found in the Adeptus Titanicus Matched Play Guide during this event.

Deployment Maps will be drawn randomly before each round. Before the start of each round, after the Deployment Map has been announced, players can choose a Primary Objective from the Matched Play Guide from the following list:

Secure and Hold

Hold the Line

Push Forwards

Salt the Earth

Seize the Quadrant

Honor Thy Forbears

Asset Protection

Defend and extract


Select a Secondary Objective.

Each Primary and Secondary Objective may only be selected once during the event.

Any Tertiary Objectives chosen as part of your Stratagem Hand may only contribute towards achieving maximum points for your Secondary Objective as per the Matched Play Guide but can be played every game, provided you have sufficient Stratagem Points remaining.

SCORING

Mission scoring will be as per the player’s selected primary and secondary objective parameters, with an additional 50VP for a win, an additional 25VP for a draw and an additional 5VP for a loss.

As stated above, tertiary objectives can be used to help score maximum points on your chosen secondary objective, however they are only able to contribute a maximum of 5VP towards this, regardless of if they could potentially score more. It should also be noted that as tertiary objectives are part of your Stratagem Hand, to score them you will require sufficient stratagem points left at the end of the game to be able to use them. If you have insufficient stratagem points remaining, then you will not be able to claim the tertiary objective.

We will also be keeping a tally the scale of all engine kills throughout the day so make sure to mark them down on your score sheet.


PAINTING AND MODELLING

Whilst it is anticipated that your battlegroups will be decked out in their full panoply of war, we understand that constant repair and resupply means that may not be the case! Whilst there is no requirement to field a fully painted battlegroup, please make sure your units are at least assembled and base coated.

Conversions and counts-as weapons are welcome (and encouraged if you’re going to run a corrupted Traitor Legio!), but please go through any converted/3rd party weapon loadouts with your opponent before the game starts. The same goes for any of your titans placed on scenic bases.

Occasionally these bases can grant unintended advantages/disadvantages to players regarding Line of Sight. Please discuss and agree on a mutually acceptable method of determining LoS to/from any affected models prior to beginning the game.


PRIZES

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd & 3rd plus Best Painted Battlegroup
