Army Composition

Each army starts with 5 AC points and can have a maximum of -5 penalty points (for a total of 0 AC points). These AC points are added to the generalship score and, before first round, the pairings are done according to them.
Please note that -5 is not a big penalty and that it doesn?t matter much if you have -2 or -4. The point of this army comp is to define ?legal lists?, not to interfere much with the overall score.
Army Comp is made in order to allow competitive lists while eliminating the cheese. We hope that army lists will be very different from each other, since some players might bring a strong magic phase, other will take close combat, shooting heavy lists, or a balanced ?little bit of everything? approach.
Judges reserve the right to add or subtract a penalty score as they see fit! Since Army Comp can hardly be perfect, if judges spot a loop holes in the rules, they may give additional penalty. Also, if a list clearly goes out of its way to be nice and fluffy, judges can grant it bonus AC point. In such occasions, players will be notified of the extra changes in due time before the tournament.
