Games Workshop Releases 4 Warhammer 40k Event Guides Ahead of 11th Edition

3 articles · Updated · BoLS · Jun 12

Four new Event Companion documents set the framework for Warhammer 40k organized play, splitting the old single events pack into separate guides for standard events, doubles, team tournaments and Dominatus campaigns.
The biggest rules shift locks each player into 1 Force Disposition for an entire event and has matched opponents set up terrain before games, using 3 layout options per mission that organizers may rotate by round.
Doubles now gets official 2v2 support, including rulings that teammates do not gain extra command points or share transports, while Games Workshop also said armies can field a lone 3DP detachment at 1,000 points.
Team events add fresh constraints: for every 5 players, only 1 can take each Force Disposition, and defender-attacker pairing plus mission-layout selection become part of the round strategy.
With 11th edition launching in 1 week, the documents fill in a major organized-play gap ahead of an app update with mission layouts and an expected points manual release.
