All right everyone get out that army you have been looking at starting and get it painted up. Now is your chance to paint a small portion and see how it looks/works. Do you want to win a best appearence and dont have to paint a whole army? Here you go. Or do you just want to try something different. The tentative combat partol rules are:
GENERAL RULES
Armies are no more than 400 points.
The Warhammer 40,000 5th Edition Rules will be used.
The AdeptiCon INAT FAQ will be used.
Forge World/Imperial Armor units are not allowed in Combat Patrol, however players may still use their Forge World models to represent a unit from their codex.
All Combat patrol armies must conform to the following Force Organization restrictions.
HQ 0-1
Troops 1-3
Elite 0-1
Fast Attack 0-1
Heavy Support 0-1
0-1 Swing slot that may be used for Troops, elite, Fast Attack or Heavy.
You must have at least one Troop choice.
Armies are not required to take mandatory unit choices. All other unit restrictions (i.e. 0-1) apply.
You may spend remaining points from anywhere in the Codex.

Psykers may be used, but may NOT use any power requiring a psychic test.
No model can have a 2+ save.
No monstrous creatures.

Vehicle Squadrons and Artillery units at permitted provided every unit within the unit individually would be permitted.
The 'What You See Is What You Get' (WYSIWYG) rule is in effect. That means all units must be easily identifiable as the particular codex choice they represent and that any and all weapons/options taken for a unit must be clearly represented on the model(s).
All models must be painted Citadel miniatures (up to 50% conversion is allowed).
