(For Hobby Paint Scoring, all fully Battle-Ready armies will receive a minimum of points with showcase armies scoring more.

___ Army List Information
A Codex may have several factions in it. Where this is the case, as soon as one of those factions are taken for the team, no other factions from that specific book may be used by another player on the team. Note that for the purpose of factions at the Event, a single book, like Codex: Space Marines, or Codex: Aeldari, will always use up a team selection as soon as one of the armies/factions that are listed within it, or stems from any index which is released for it. (This means for instance that when a team would add Harlequin models to a Drukhari force, that army would use up both the Aeldari and Drukhari faction slots for the team.)
However, if a Codex has specific units that are annotated in the Codex, they can be utilized without losing access to the units in other Codices. (i.e., Ynnari Incubi) This includes such things as Daemons datasheets; these too can be taken without losing access to their datasheets for use in other instances. Though, any Named Character may only be used once per team.
All Codex and Index Space Marines fall under Space Marines/Adeptus Astartes. Teams cannot have multiple Space Marine armies. No new Codex will be used until after its official release to the public, not just a limited/starter set release.
No new Codex or Detachment will be used until after its official release to the public. (Such as limited/starter set release or PDF prior to official release.)
Units of Legend and Fortifications will NOT be used.
Below is a list of the armies that are available as factions for the Event.
