HOW DOES A DOUBLES EVENT WORK
Each player within a team will have their own separate 1,000 point army following the rules from the Matched Play Pitched Battle chart.
These armies must be selected following the usual Matched Play rules for picking your army.
These two armies then combine in your games to create a TEAM army.
Here are a few key points and FAQs regarding team
armies. If more FAQs arise relating to Doubles play, we will add them to the list.
• When playing your games, a ‘player’ is a ‘team’. For example if one player’s models gain control of an objective, the team gains control of it, and anything that is once per player is once per team.
• Your team generates a Command Point at the start of each of your hero phases as normal, not one per player.
• Any extra command points generated by abilities can be shared by the team.
• Each player’s 1,000 point army is entirely their own and must be fully contained within their own army roster.
• When playing the game you are treated as one army. Therefore if one player has spent the points for an Endless Spell, then all Wizards belonging to that army(including your partner) may use that spell providing they are able to cast it.
• You select one overall Grand Strategy for your Doubles army.
• During the games you will select ONE Battle Tactic that your doubles army aims to complete each turn.
• An individual player’s allegiance may be different than their teammates, and can even be from a different Grand Alliance. These armies do not need to be able to ally with each other, but different allegiances within a player’s army must be able to ally
following the normal rules.
• You may take the same Allegiance when creating your army, but you may not duplicate Warscrolls in each army. For example Ben and Steve decide to take a doubles army consisting of two Stormcast forces. Ben wants to use Vindictors as Battleline units in his army so Steve will need to use a different Battleline choice
• Any Unique units can only be included once in a team.
• Each player selects a General from their individual 1,000 point army and may give them a Command Trait and Artefact of Power as normal. Note that as per the Core Rules, you cannot duplicate the same Artefact of Power, but Command Traits are otherwise unaffected.
• You cannot duplicate Universal Enhancements in a Team - those Amulet of Destinys are very rare after all!
• You cannot duplicate core battalions in a Team.
• If both players have access to the same Battle Trait then it is used once for the team. For example if both players on a team are playing Nurgle, then there is only one Cycle of Corruption. Equally there will only be one set of gravesites for the Unquiet Dead Battle Trait, even if a team is playing Legion of Night and Legion of Blood between them.
• If two players are using the same Allegiance Abilities for their team army but have different sub-faction based Battle Traits within them, this is permitted providing they follow the usual rules within their respective 1,000 points.
• When building your army, use all the most up to date Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules found in the Pitched Battle Publications list found in the most upto date Generals Handbook.
