Per the Warhammer 40K Rulebook v1.3 FAQ(pg. 9):At the start of each game, prior to deployment, players may choose to select the psychic powers listed in their Codex as normal OR swap them for a number of rolls on the psychic disciplines tables per the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook (pg. 418).

Appearance Scoring (06/12/2013)
Each category is worth 5 points
In your opinion was there honest effort put into painting this army? Was the army dipped in a vat of paint, or did the player actually try to the best of their ability, skill and time constraints to get their army painted?
Are ALL the models in this Army COMPLETELY painted? All models in the army must be base coated (no metal or plain primer showing) and as a rule of thumb have at least 3 different colors present on the model.
If Box 1&2 are checked, check this box as well. Extra credit!
Are ALL of the miniatures based up in a pleasing fashion? What we are talking about here is the plastic slottabase that Citadel Miniatures glue onto. If it is covered in flock, gravel, or sand and painted to look like grass, ground, or some part of a battlefield? Bases don’t have to be immaculate or fancy, just nice and neat so they don’t detract from the model.
Does the army feature insignia, camo schemes, or eye-catching items? We are talking about cohesive color schemes, camouflage patters or army-wide details that make the whole force seem cooler. Did the painter put some extra time to pick out or add cool basic details on the army? A basecoated Ultramarines army with all the matching “U” insignia on their shoulder pads would fit this category for instance.
Do the character models and the centerpieces standout? Was extra time spent painting important cogs of the army, such as characters, sergeants or vehicles?
Does the army look like an army? Does the force look coherent? Do the various regiments have colors, markings, insignia, etc that tie them together?
Is the army presented in an above average fashion? Is the army presented on a display board modeled in a fashion to tie the army together?
Was extra time and effort put into the painting of cool details? Does the army contain model conversions, extra details on bases, super hand painted banners, kill markings on vehicles, battle damage, expertly painted eyes, badges, or similar type of attention to cool but minute detail?
In your opinion is this army painted to an above average standard? In other words, this army is painted to a level that you would be pleased to put it on display to show off to friends & other hobbyists.
We aren’t talking about a few well painted characters, but the army on the whole.
Is this army on of your top three picks? Does the judge see this is one of his top three armies at the Michigan GT?
