Additional 2v2 Rules

Army Construction:

• No duplicate teams – even if two Guillimans would look hilarious, epic heroes may not be duplicated.
• Duplicate common units (e.g., Repulsors) are allowed.
• Epic heroes are unique – only one per team.
• Allied units are permitted for maximum chaos, provided they remain legal under the rules.
• Points limit:
  1,000 points per player
  2,000 points per team total
• Points are not shareable:
  Each player builds their own list up to 1,000 points.
  Any unused points are voided and cannot be transferred to a teammate.

Command & Movement Phase

• Each team may gain up to 1 extra Command Point (CP) per turn.
• If both team members are capable of generating this bonus CP, they must decide which one receives it.
• Players generate and spend CP independently – CP cannot be shared or used for another player’s activations.
• Global Stratagems may only be used once per team per turn.
• Both players on a team progress through phases together (e.g., both move during the Movement Phase).
• Team members should communicate before moving any models, as all target selections, stratagem decisions, and movements are final once made.

Shooting Phase

• Each player selects targets and resolves attacks individually.
• Players may shoot simultaneously at different targets if those targets are far enough apart or if doing so won’t affect each other’s results or overall battle plan.
• Should a giant blob of Khorne Bezerkers be shot by many different units, it is entirely possible to “GAS GAS GAS” all the way. The Overseer applauds such epic carnage.

Fight Phase

• Teams alternate selecting units to fight.
• Each fight activation is performed by both players of that team. If only one player of that team has eligible units, only that player fights.
• For combat interrupts, only the unit that spent CP for the ability may interrupt the fight sequence.

As epic and side‑splitting as the spectacle may be, remember this is still just a game. The Guild insists: fun first, dice second.
Positive vibes are mandatory, chaos is encouraged, and every roll should end with a grin.

Happy rolling, Mercaturians!
