The Warhammer 40k Competition at this years Britcon will again be helmed by Martin Jeanes & Stephen O'Neill, and the rules pack for the 2015 tournament has just been finalised and published on the BHGS website

Army Lists will be 1850pts 

Unbound armies will not be played at Britcon.


The following armies may be used:

• Codex: Blood Angels
• Codex: Chaos Daemons
• Codex: Chaos Space Marines
• Codex: Dark Angels
• Codex: Dark Eldar
• Codex: Eldar
• Codex: Imperial Guard
• Codex: Necron’s
• Codex: Ork’s
• Codex: Space Marines
• Codex: Space Wolves
• Codex: Tau Empire
• Codex: Tyranid’s
• Codex: Witch Hunter’s (the most recent)
• Codex: Grey Knight’s
• Any new codex or supplements e.g Farsight Enclaves already released until 01/07/15.

In order to keep the games fairly balanced we are restricting the amount of units a player can field of each type (there can be only 2 of any unit (irregardless of upgrades, squad numbers or weapon loadout, except troop choices, which are restricted to 4 of any type).
Vehicles of the same type, taken either as a Heavy, Fast, Elite, or that can be taken as a dedicated transport choice are restricted to two (inc squadrons) e.g only 2 Landraiders (limited to 2 irregardless of type), Leman Russ (limited to 2 irregardless of type / armour value etc) , Devilfish, Vendetta, Wave Serpent, Rhino, Trukk or Razorback etc of any type.  This restriction also applies to MC’s.  e.g. either take 2 Carnifexes or Leman Russ as 2 heavy support choices or one squadron of 2.
This restriction of 2 also counts towards anything that can be chosen outside of the standard FOC e.g. the new Tyranid spore pod.
Allies allowed as per the Main rule book matrix. Note: All allies that are classed as Battle Brothers will now be classed as Allies of convenience so check when relying on combinations that they still work.
