DOUBLES RULES:
- Each player should build a legal 1000pt army using the Pitched Battle 2023-2024 rules. These lists will then be combined to create the team’s 2000pt army. (ie there should be 4+ Battleline units in the team as each army must have 2+).
- Each army should be DIFFERENT. Both players in a team cannot choose the same faction. The armies, however, do not need to be in the game Grand Alliance and can be mixed (eg Chaos + Order)
- You should pick a Grand Strategy pre-tournament as a team, and this must be included in the list submission. It can not be changed during the event. (note: Battletome Grand Stratagies can be chosen, however any that mention specific units/rules can only be scored by that specific army obviously!)
- Each team’s abilities, auras, spells, etc cannot affect their teammate [unless it states it can apply to either friendly or enemy], but abilities that affect the enemy will apply for both players
- The Unique character rule applies to both players (there can only be one over the 2000pt combined army)
- Command Points are shared as a team - the team receives 1 at the start of the Hero phase (rather than 1 each)
- Each team can only perform the same command ability once per phase (rather than once per player)
- Both players gain their own Command Traits, Triumphs, Prayers, Mount Traits, Spells and Artefacts (and a General each).
- When alternating deployment, players both deploy when it is the team’s turn to deploy (eg it goes A-A-B-B)
- Each team picks 1 Battle Tactic to complete per turn, rather than 1 per player. (note: Battletome Battle Tactics can be chosen, however any that mention specific units/rules can only be scored by that specific army obviously!)

ARMY RULES:
- Your models must clearly represent the unit and weapons they are meant to have (aka WYSIWYG). If there are small differences (eg different minor wargear), these should be noted clearly pre-game
- Armies do not need to be painted in order to play, but we will have Best Painted awards
