Exclusion of Storm of Chaos book from UK GW tournaments.
With the recent publication of White Dwarf 315 we’ve decided to take a look at what armies we allow in our Warhammer Doubles and Warhammer Grand Tournament events held at Warhammer World in Nottingham.
We’ve reviewed the content of Jervis Johnson’s “STANDARD BEARER - A World of Confusion” article in White Dwarf 315 and have decided that, as the Storm of Chaos book falls under the heading of a Warhammer ‘Expansion’ rather than an army book, we are not allowing the use of Storm of Chaos army lists at these events.
As a rules expansion, the Storm of Chaos book and the army lists contained within it will be allowable, where appropriate, in other Warhammer events such as the Rise of Kingdoms – Warhammer Campaign weekends as well as other shows that are currently on the drawing board for 2007.
We have also taken this opportunity to consider the other armies that have been allowed in the past. Chaos Dwarf and Dogs of War armies are not contained within a published ‘army book’. However as these are well established army lists we have decided to continue to allow them. If you require copies of the army lists for these forces you can contact our Hobby Specialists on 0115 9140000 who would be happy to send a photocopied version of the rules.
This decision only applies to the above mentioned events and is not intended as a statement of the ‘official’ or ‘unofficial’ nature of the Storm of Chaos rules in the wider gaming world. Other event organisers are welcome to include the Storm of Chaos lists in their events should they wish to.

Personally I'm saddened as there are many armies out there that people have spent a lot of time and money creating that they now cannot use in the UK GT.
