Announcement Army Lists rules - REMEMBER NO INDIVIDUAL POINTS VALUES

[strewart]

Overall people are posting pretty well, but there doesn't seem to be anything written down about common protocol for posting army lists and I have seen a few veering off it lately, so just a short thread to remind people and let new people know the ins and outs of posting lists.

-It is against forum rules to post individual point cost. This includes situations where the individual model cost is easily calculated, for example a unit of 10 skinks. If you put the total cost, the model cost is easy to work out, and it breaches GW intellectual property laws. There is no real need to post points at all except for the total of the whole list at the bottom. If you decide to do this it could result in a warning being issued, or a ban if appropriate.

-Make your thread title informative. You should at the very least have the size of the army in the thread title if you don't mention the style of army or setting (tournament, friendly etc) beyond that.

-Don't copy-paste directly from army builder or other programs. This looks very messy and is hard to read. Make your list easy to understand. A good way to write your units is [number] [name], [upgrade].

Example of what NOT to do....

Super Man w/ Power Klaw: 265pt
Super Man w/ Banner: 345pt
Super Man w/ Flamer: 300pt
---------------------------
Total: 910pt

Example of what to do....

Super Man x3
Klaw, Banner, Flamer
---------------------
Total: 910pts


Your post doesn't have to directly copy my format, but you get the idea. If you have any questions feel free to pm any of the mods.

A quick reminder to all, you still are not permitted to post individual points values for units/items, you can post your total army points value or your total value for each category (core, lord, special etc.) but NOT any more than that.

Question:
Are Pictures of listed units allowed,
Or is that best left for the painting and such threads?

I don't see why not.

 

[pedrodelpedro]

I guess i can write details cost if my list is about 9th age?

 

[Pinktaco]

Ooh, maybe GW saw this and that's why AoS has no points values!

Oh you GW with your copyright tricks, we know what you are up to

Is it allowed to upload it as a PDF from 9th builder?

 

[discomute]

I presume we can write point values for ToW given the lizardmen PDF is free to download?

I'm unstickying this because I assume GW is okay with points values on their free to use information.

As far as I know, GW has not reprimanded ANY site for posting out of print things either. I don't recall GW giving any site a warning for anyone posting points for any Age of Sigmar lists either.

If it becomes a problem again, we will make a new posting and sticky whatever the new rules are.
