Some of you may have heard of the Q² challenge during the French Open. The idea was to apply character restriction to all 6 army lists (instead of 3), but for the Masters we will "only" play 3 lists and the character restriction is already part of the rules. So we had a chat with Q² in Besançon, and we found out a way to add some challenge to making lists.
Instead of applying character restriction, we decided to apply FA to all three lists. That way all our precious solos are restricted to one or two lists, and if merc players still complain about character restriction, we can laugh at them all day long.
You can go even further and claim a Q² level 2, inspired by some players (including Zoro but he wasn't the first one) who created lists in which they played every single model they own only once.
So :
EPIC Q² level 1: all models / units are restricted to their FA. Some theme lists can increase FA, but it still works the same. Example for Cryx : only one skarlock, two warwitch sirens, 1 Deathjack, and 2 units of Satyxis Raiders and one Satyxis Sea Witch (UA). If the two units are in a theme force that grants a free UA, you can have 2 UAs in it, or a UA in another list (except you can't have the second unit in another list)
EPIC EPIC Q² level 2: all your models are restricted to how many you actually have, in addition to level 1 restrictions. If you want to field a Khador Devastator (FA: U) in all three lists, you will have to bring three painted Devastator models. But it's better to have different models
You don't have to use these restrictions to take part to the tournament, but let's see what men with balls of steel can do.
Personally, I will definitely be an epic Q², and will do my best to paint enough for level 2.
Q² do you approve this message?
