Sponsored by the Last Square, Warhammer Historical and Litko Aerosystems. War of the Rings Demos – Times TBD – Sign up onsite! Sponsored by the Games Workshop Chicago Battle Bunker.

We’ve also added some new questions to the INAT FAQ that have been asked by attendees. We’ve taken a conscious effort to not reverse previous rulings or listings, but if you’re playing in a 40K Tournament and want to make sure your army list is legal, or how the judges will rule on contentious issues, check out the documents below: INAT v2.2 http://www.adepticon.org/files/INATFAQv2.2.pdf Allowed 40K Army Lists: http://www.adepticon.org/09rules/0940KArmyList.pdf Allowed Forgeworld/Apocalypse Units (only applies to the 40K Gladiator): http://www.adepticon.org/09rules/0940KIAList.pdf Sponsor Highlight: DragonflyMini.com In need of a commission painter?
