Razor Valley events will use all Games Workshop FAQs as well as those published by the ITC. Any additional questions not resolved by those documents will be answered here or by the organizers in person.

​

Q: If a unit starts the game on the board, can abilities, psychic powers, or stratagems that remove them from the table and then redeploy them (such as Shunt, Da Jump, or Upon Wings of Fire) be used to place them outside of their owner's deployment zone?

A: Yes, as per the Designer Commentary.

​

Q: Can a character make a Heroic Intervention if the opponent has not declared any charges that turn?

A: No, as no charge movements have been made.

Q: Which stratagems from a codex do I have access to if I take a detachment of that faction?

A: Any pure-faction detachment will give you access to all stratagems listed in that codex, including ones from all subfactions. For example, taking an Alpha Legion battalion will give the player access to all of the CSM stratagems, including the ones from other <Legions> such as World Eaters- though in most cases the player will be unable to use them. Do note that, as per the GW FAQ, the Agents of Vect stratagem requires having a detachment of Kabal of the Black Heart models.

Q: Are you using the ITC FAQ?

A: ITC no longer has an FAQ of its own. It uses the officially released GW FAQs as normal. We do make use of the ITC suggestion that the first floor of ruins is Line of Sight Blocking regardless of windows, doors, etc.
 

Q: Are you using Beta Rules?

A: Yes.

​

Q: When is your cut-off for new books, FAQs/Errata, ITC updates, etc.?

A: Anything released before 1 week out (anything released the Sunday-Friday directly before the event) will not be implemented in Razor Valley events. Our TO staff needs a week to play test, learn, and understand changes. 

​

Q: Are you requiring/using chess clocks?

A: We have two clocks on hand for those who wish to use them. Our hope is to get enough so that we can supply them for all tables. It has been the personal experience of the TO staff that chess clocks help games finish on time and reduce player contention.

​

Q: I have observed that members of your TO staff plays in the tournaments. What happens if I need a ruling and I am playing a TO?

A: We have multiple TOs on our staff. Simply ask your TO opponent to summon another TO for an impartial ruling. 

​

Q: What happens if my TO opponent gets dragged away frequently, resulting in a significant reduction of game time? 

A: If this happens the TO will automatically forfeit the game. 

 

Q: I want to speak to the TO staff during lunch, but they seem to be looking at displayed armies....

A: The TO staff judges armies painting during lunch. Please leave them be during this time so they can do it efficiently.

​

Q: What should I do about the Lore Entry?

A: Most submissions are a nicely typed up 1-4 paragraphs of your army's story. We have no actual restrictions and everything from props, to alternative media can be employed. If you wish to win Best Lore- stand out and look good.
