Hey all,

Here are the dates for Ard Boyz for 2009-2010 for your future planning.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=true&catId=&ategoryId=400002a&aId=500011a

I'm working on getting up the rules packs (with a list of allowable armies etc.) and the list of participating stores as soon as I can. Check the 40K 'Ard Boyz section in the coming days for more info.

Find out more. GW Site > Community and Events (link in upper left) > Ard Boyz Tournaments

Have Fun!

John

**asugradinwa**

ohhhh I had better get my WOTR army ready for Febuary as well.

**skkipper**

yeah the date for the semis puts me in upper peninsula of michigan. So it looks like I get to bring fun to the first round.

3 deathstrikes oh yeah

**Savnock**

Dude, you really have to ask yourself that question? The whole year is full of well-balanced comp-heavy opportunities for respectful play amongst gentlemen (er, gentlepersons). A nice head-kicking gladiator tourney is pretty unfortunate to miss. I do hope the Washington semis are on the wet side of the state, though.

[Tangent alert] As for 3 Deathstrike lists, would that even have a chance, given how long they take to launch?

And War of the Ring 'Ard Boyz is on that schedule too... has there been a LOTR 'Ard Boyz before?

**skkipper**

well on turn two they go off on a 5 so 1 could go off on the second turn. the chimera and meat shield around them makes them pretty tough.

**ShumaGorath**

Wild speculation:

IG win through broken codex and immunity to nob bikers/lashspam.

**daygo2ilm**

Does anyone know if I can play the 1st round in North Carolina. Then go to the second round in California?

**John Shaffer**

Hello again,

The Ard Boyz section of the site hath been updated.

Rules pack and allowable armies (PDF, bottom of the page):

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=true&catId=&categoryId=400003a&pIndex=0&aId=9500009&start=1

Participating Stores (a few more are going to be added this afternoon, 6/9/09)

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=400003a&pIndex=2&aId=600001a&start=3

Expect to see the first round scenarios in the coming weeks.

All for now,

John

**skkipper**

yes you can play in any qualifier then play in any regional. that being said some regionals could fill up so reserve your spot.

**Lemartes**

Is that all of the stores or will more be added as I think I only see one store for UT who usually have about 5-6 participating.

**Hulksmash**

Wow, would be so much easier to read the locations if they put the states next to them. Oh well, time to spend 30 minutes seeing what's around me

**John Shaffer**

There are more stores being added, and those should be up this afternoon, but I've not seen any additional stores in UT other than Dragon's Keep, and Blackfyre Games.

Hopefully one of those is near you.

John

**frgsinwntr**

I like it!

**asugradinwa**

Anyone else see in the rules for the army list that grey knight terminators can't travel in a vendetta or valkyrie?

**Hulksmash**

Yep, but I also saw that I can take Vet squads as allies for my GK's!

**DarthDiggler**

Yes, States should be added. How many Springfields are therein the US?

**John Shaffer**

We're currently using our store finder database for the store listings, so you can click on the store name and see addresses, map, directions etc. Currently that database doesn't display the state name in the list. I see how it can be a bit daunting to find a store in an area you are unfamiliar with. I'll put up a spreadsheet with the states attached for easier reference this week.

Thanks for the feedback,

John

**Kirasu**

Boggles the mind why inquisition and space wolves can take land raider redeemers but not BA, DA or templars lol

**asugradinwa**

the Inquisition can't take the redeemers, only the allied space Marines can (as their Allied Land raider, that they can only take 1 of & have to have two allied troops choices.)

**Hulksmash**

I personally thank you for that John. It makes it far easier to find them. Then at least if i know it's from CA i can click and see where. Though i do like that you have the map function set up for them already.

**John Shaffer**

As requested, All the venues and their states:

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=&catId=&categoryId=400003a&pIndex=1&aId=600001a&start=2

The stores in our store finder (for directions phone numbers and such):

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=&catId=&categoryId=400003a&pIndex=2&aId=600001a&start=3

That should hopefully make it a bit easier to find a venue near you.

Have Fun!

John

**asugradinwa**

John is doing a bang up job!

**Savnock**

Thanks, John!

**kadun**

So two Exorcists and three Leman Russ Executioners it is

**Polonius**

are there any stores not yet posted? There are only three stores listed for Ohio, and none of the cleveland area stores. Are they just not running one?

I can drive down to Akron, but I can't imagine the Warzone or Recess wouldn't run one.

if you really want... but 2 is more then enough. remember they all shoot at the same target since they are a squadron

**Kirasu**

Yeah western PA is running the 'ard boyz as well.. Legions replaced recess last year for semi-finals.

Some IG players wanting to do an armored company are going to get a rude awakening when they face a Crimson Fists army (or Sterngaurd heavy army). 1 - 5 man pod with combi meltas = 185pts and will likely pop one russ and damage another. I think people are gonna be ready for the new IG.

**Cannerus_The_Unbearable**

Now all we need is leaked missions like last year.

They weren't leaked last year. They posted the scenarios the week before each round.
