FAQ – Kill Team Rules Clarifications

  • What rules will be in effect?

    Any FAQ’s and Errata from Games Workshop released at least 24 hours prior to the event start will be in effect. Please familiarize yourself with these in advance: https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/#kill-team

  • What are the painting requirements?

    You will receive 2 victory points per game for having a fully battle ready and based kill team. That means primed, with three colors minimum, and, once again, based. You are welcome to take part with grey plastic models if you must, but you’ll be denying yourself those precious points, and the joy of seeing your painted minis on the table!

  • What about proxies and kitbashes?

    We require that weapons on minis are clearly what they’re meant to be, and are visually different to other types of weapons on your team. This is so your opponent can tell your models apart. We welcome converted teams, but be sure to check your models are the correct base size. If in doubt, please email the organizers at newyorkkillteam@gmail.com
