Thank you all for your patience as I have put together the below.

As you will see, I have borrowed heavily from BAO and NOVA regarding design elements of how the 40K Open will be run this year.  That being said there are differences in the composition, so please read carefully.

FAQ

Q:  Can you score multiple "Maelstrom" objectives off of one event/action?

A:  Yes.  i.e. as these are conditions you are meeting.  So, as an example, if you rolled a 4 and 6, and during your assault phase you killed the enemy Warlord, you would achieve both conditions, thus gaining 2 Maelstrom points from that one "event".

 

Q:  When are lists due, and where do we send them?

A:  Lists are due day of Tourney and will be reviewed upon check in for legality.  Please be sure to bring all pertinent rules with you, and an extra army list for registration.

 

Q:  Same faction allies allowed?

A:  Yes, Same faction allies allowed.

 

Q:  Will the 40K Open be part of the ITC?

A:  Yes, we have joined this to the ITC

I kinda hope not. BAO changed a lot of the rules for reasons that don't really seem to be apparent at all. Some of them make sense, of course, but I was not terribly happy to find a bunch of "surprises" in there right before the tournament that drastically altered the way certain units functioned.

So here's what I think are the most relevant questions to be answering. A lot of the stuff from BAO is either unnecessary (the rules already answer the question, the FAQ just points out the correct answer) or rules changes (i.e. overwriting existing rules) and thus probably not needed in a FAQ. However, there is a bunch of stuff in there that you could take a page from.

 

 

 

Does a Necron Overlord retain his Independent Character status when he becomes the rider of a Command Barge?

 

Can a Necron Overlord benefit from the Jink save of his Command Barge if the hits are allocated to him? Can the Command Barge benefit from his 3+ invulnerable save from a Phase Shifter if the hits are allocated to it?

 

Can "shooting" abilities which require Line of Sight, (I've Been Expecting You, Mind in the Machine, Master of Mechanisms) be used while inside a transport, assuming it has fire points or is open-topped?

 

Can a character with the Infiltrate rule join a unit without the rule in order to deploy via that method?

 

Can Commissar Yarrick be selected as a warlord despite having both the Senior Officer and Chain of Command rules?

 

If Markerlights or other weapons that have an effect on a hit are fired at a model protected by a Void Shield, what happens?

 

Can a model use a Target Lock in combination with Overwatch fire to shoot at a unit that is not assaulting?

 

Can a model benefit from both Psychic Focus and Chaos Psychic Focus? That is, can a Daemon of, say, Nurgle get its "free" power from the Plague discipline, roll twice on the Biomancy discipline, and then also get Smite for "free"? If not, is there a choice involved or is the model forced to benefit from one or the other version of psychic focus (could I choose to take Smite over Stream of Corruption, or vice versa?)

 

When casting psychic powers, can multiple psykers in the same unit attempt to manifest the same power? If not, does this allow them to "share" powers as per the wording of the psychic phase?

 

If a unit is under the effect of Invisibility and the enemy has a special rule or wargear that allows them to hit on a particular number (e.g. Kharn the Betrayer, etc), which ability takes precedence?

 

How does Look Out, Sir! interact with wounds from a Destroyer weapon? If I suffer a hit that causes three wounds, to that particular model, are each of those wounds re-allocated individually (potentially killing three separate models)?

 

If a unit contains a combination of Bikes and non-Bike models, is it able to Run, Turbo Boost, neither, or both at the same time?

 

Which attacks/shots does the Strikedown rule that superheavy vehicles and gargantuan creatures have apply to?

 

Can the Warp Storm table affect units which are embarked on a building or transport vehicle?

 

Can Kairos Fateweaver ever generate psychic powers from the Daemonology discipline? If so, how is this done?

For your second Detachment, you may select from one of the following:

CAD, Allied Detachment or a Formation.

 

Strictly as written, it is not legal to field a Knight detachment, Assassin detachment, Great Waaaaaagh detachment, Wolves Unleashed detachment, etc, etc, as these do not fall into any of the categories.

Or just let it be any two detachments you want. The big no-no is allowing two CADs (or CAD-like detachments), and since that's already legal I don't see any reason to limit what specific combinations of detachments are included. Bringing a CAD or CAD-like detachment is essentially required if you want to properly fill the points, anyways.
