So how does “Up and at ‘em” work in your format? This tactic can be activated only if your Combat specialist is eligible to fight. So you can’t advance and then “Up and at ‘em” your Combat specialist into melee.
Since the packet has base 2 CP per round, does that mean with leader+strategist we get 4 CP per round? Yes it does.
Do aura tactics affects the commander himself as well Yes.
How to decide on a mission ? Use dice provided in the mod, roll D4 to pick terrain setup, then roll the D9 to choose the mission, reroll results of 3 on D9 as this mission is not used in CI Open 2021. Please note, this is for playing Commanders International Open tournament in a Tabletop Simulator. In normal games (not TTS) terrain can be set up as you want as long as it respects most important CI terrain rules: at least 4 line of sight blocking terrain, two of which should be close to the middle of the board; and the symmetry of terrain for all players.
How does the ‘Aquila Commander tactics’ apply to CI rules?? It doesn’t work in CI rules as CI competitive games always last 4 rounds and can never last longer and can be finished earlier due to concede or real life reasons.
Do we have to choose secondaries from each category? No, you can pick any secondaries. Color coding is just made for your convenience.
Can a command roster include the same Commander model multiple times (e.g., with different Specialisms)? Your roster can include multiples of the same commander to allow for different builds. For CI your roster is 20 + 3 slots, with the 3 additional slots reserved only for your commander picks. Also, please, note that 20 slots can be used for any models including commanders and 3 slots are reserved only for commanders. So if you need, you can take more than 3 commanders but put them into the 20 slot pull.
Pariah Nexus and Commanders International CI rules pack works with all updated data sheets, weapon profiles and tactics from Pariah Nexus. So, Astartes' chainswords are now -1 AP, Overlord’s attack characteristic is now 4, instead of 3, Accelerator autocannon is now Heavy 3, instead of 2, etc etc. But objectives are controlled in the old way - by number of models, not wounds. Please, remember that expensive commanders count as 2 or 3 models in CI (see Format Ruleshere for more details). Also it is important to understand that Pariah Nexus updates on how terrain work and extra tactics are only for ultra close confines (Arena and PN) game variant.
Question regarding the Marked For Death secondary. We can declare it in any phase except psychic, but is that model marked for the entirety of the round? For example, can I declare a model that charges me in the movement phase marked for death, and if I should kill him in the psychic phase, does he still count for scoring? A model "marked for death" is marked only for the attack sequence in which it is declared as such. Marked for death should be declared with the following order of actions: attacking player selects a model with which to attack, declaring the target to be attacked as marked for death, resolve attack, if target dies from this attack you gain the point.
Are voidsmen capped for Elucidian starstriders? CI doesn't limit voidsmen
Can a commander be your Leader? Commanders have their own specialism and Leader specialism is not available for them. Please do not confuse ‘Leader’ and ‘Leadership’.
For Commander's Sight secondary, does it matter which aura we activate three times? All that matters is that You've activated the actual aura ability. So it is fine, for example to use your Commissar for ignoring wounds firstly and next turn leadership buff if it is required.
Do I get bonuses and tactics available for all levels of my Legendary Hunter commander? Or only 1st level ability and tactic? As Legendary hunters are played at their published level, they get access to all the tactics and abilities associated with being that level.
For ilith nightspear on a roll of 6 he does a mortal wound + 3D if the enemy model failed his save/can't save because of AP would I only get 1 injury roll for the mortal would or 1 mortal would + 3 for the regular damage=4 injury dice? Mortal wounds are resolved one by one and thus injury roll caused by mortal wound should be made with only one dice. Mortal wounds are resolved before weapons damage because it ignores Saving throw step, while normal damage is inflicted only after saving throw is made (and failed).
Illic Nightspear already has Alaitoc sub faction keyword meaning he would be unplayable unless you sacrifice subfaction bonus or go with Alaitoc. Is there an option where he does not have that subfaction? Or am i required to play Alaitoc or no subfaction? If IIic Nightspear is taken you may replace the subfaction Alaitoc with your preferred subfaction
Does the child of Baharroth counts as the Autarch being in reserve? Yes. You can’t do the ‘Survivor’ secondary by hiding Autarch in the sky for the whole game.
How are we handling the Zealot specialism with x2 str weapons in this tourney? It’s (base strength + zealot bonus)*2 .
When I include my trait, do I announce it when I muster my team? You should mention it in the command roster, think about it as it would be an equipment piece.
Tau xv85 commander couldn’t benefit from savior protocols or use manta strike. I suppose it was deemed too powerful of a combo for the tournament? Correct, XV85 cannot benefit from SP or use Manta strike due to being too OP if it were allowed.
Does collecting a bounty hunter token stop your movement? It doesn't stop your movement, but you only score VPs for it if you end your movement in contact with a BH token.
Is Sly Marbo allowed on this packet? Yes he is. All Legendary Hunters are allowed.
What is the preferred format for the roster? Either DM your roster file or a pdf
