I've set up the alternate tournie over in Cantebrury now if those of you who were planning on attending that too want to take a gander. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/275792.page

Good luck with your event Ketara, I hope all goes well. Sorry I won't be able to make it (My missus is due to give birth mid-march) but all the best to all who can attend.

When you've finished the event could you post a report? I'd be interested to hear how it went

I will of course be playing my only army, the bane of elitist nerds everywhere, my beloved Ultramarines.

In the interests of continuity, can we come up with a crazy name for this tournament as well?

Bronze Beastman? Metal Manticore? Copper Goblin?

Anyone?

Daemon Dagger?

I don't think it could have the words Golden or Daemon in it... And Platinum and Devil are already taken by Canterbury's tournament in April.

However, a cursory look at the periodic table turns up three beginning with 'D'.

Dysprosium Dwarf, anyone?

How about Brazen Daemonette?

Oh, that's a good one....

The Silver Bolt tourney (followed by shouts of Dakka Dakka!)

On a side point - do people mind if armies include 'counts as' models - thinking in particular my knight counting as a leman russ - weapons are the same, it's just taller than usual and not quite as long. If not I may need to get a new russ model. Also my demolisher has a hull mounted cannon rather than turret mounted. Will this cause problems at all?

Thanks.

Morning chaps.
Im really sorry but im going to have to pull out. Turns out Baby mark 2 is on its way. Birthday is gonna land roughly in september. Now considering how early my son arrived number 2 could be as early so i can't really plan to go away. No Games day for me either.

Sorry about this. Good luck to you all in all your games though.

-HHL

@covenant84 - this is supposed to be a fun day more than a hardcore tournament. As long the model in question is a proper conversion rather than a 'counts-as' in the traditional sense of subbing one model you do have for one you don't, there shouldn't be a problem.

The only caveat would be everything must be WYSIWYG and the model must be of a similar size to the original. If in doubt PM me with details and I'll let you know.

@holidayhalflife - sorry you won't be there. I'll update the list when I get the chance. Good luck with the little 'un and see you next time around.

As for the name, perhaps the 'Comfy Sofa of Skulls'?

yeah,
Ok I've confirmed time off work.
yayy! I'm now a deffinently coming to this!

Now I just have to plan a hotel and transport.

I'll be playing Grots.

Panic...

I am confused:

This is August 2010 correct? If so, I am there

Yup, August 2010 in Nottingham, and there's also one in April in Canterbury on the other thread....

You mean we'll get to see the Gwar himself? This will be an event!

Yes, yes you will. Perhaps. I have yet to decide if I shall arrive upon a veiled Palanquin carried by the 3rd borne daughters of the common class.

You mean this is you?

Ketara wrote:You mean this is you?

Damn right!

So, any decision on 1000 vs 1500?

09/02/10 Update!!

Right, sorry I've been away a bit (combination of work and being ill).

Time for some updates. The first post now has all 16 people who have said they want to come. If you are on this list and cannot come please let me know ASAP. Also be aware we now have a maximum of 8 places remaining, so if you want to go, or know someone who does, let us know soon!

Also, if you want to change your intended army or have not decided yet, please post/PM as soon as you can.

The format has been decided as 4 games of 1000 points. The voting was pretty even (a few more voted for 1500 but it was not overwhelming). The reasons for the decision were:
1. Some people who wanted to attend either don't have 1500 points of stuff, or at least don't have it painted.
2. More games equals more games. One of the reasons for doing this is so we all get a chance to meet IRL, so the more people you get to play against, the better.

Finally, a big thank you to Gwar! who has volunteered to be a judge. This will let me focus more on running the event so hopefully the day will run smoothly for everyone.

Any questions, as always let me know and I'll see you all in a few months.

I will be playing CSM.

And woo for Gwar!

Um, good on you, Gwar, but do you mean a painting judge or a tournament referee??

So not only can we not actually PLAY against Gwar, but our tournament is now referreed by the strictest RAW poster on the site?

:/

Who says I Wont be playing? Not MY fault that every ruling happens to be ruled in my favour! Don't worry, ya'll get to play me

Remember, judges are not there to tell you how to play.

They are there to provide an impartial verdict on rules queries that players cannot resolve between themselves when asked to do so.

Judges will intervene only when invited to by the players, or in cases or flagrant cheating.

When the event packs are issued nearer to the time,
guidelines will be included regarding rules judgements (and painting judgements too).

Does the Judge Guidelines allow for liberal beating with the Rawstick for failing to play GWarhammer correctly?

RAW? Like,

- Models without eyes cannot shoot
- Doom of Malantai is not a Zoanthrope and cannot use its powers, as they refer to 'the Zoanthrope'
- Eldrad is not a farseer, and cannot use Farseer powers, which all refer to 'the Farseer'
- 'Moves like Jump Infantry' does not mean 'can Deep Strike'
- In various psychic powers, including Warptime, THE PSYKER ITSELF must roll the dice. (That's the model, not the player)
- Leman Russ Battle Tanks do not have battlecannons
- Infantry Platoons and Rough Riders are the only units available as Inducted Guard.
- Wobbly Model Rule means models can move in any direction, including into mid-air, and then be removed from the table, as long as both players know where they should be.
- Terminators in Terminator Armour cannot Sweeping Advance, but anyone else in Terminator Armour can.

Can anyone remember the one where you can't actually start a game because of RAW?

Awesome list

If there is a need for it, I'd be happy to be a painting judge.

Ditto to lego burner, if i can help or anything just let me know!

Like ArbitorIan, I am somewhat taken aback at the choice of referee....... however, I have to drop out as this is too proximate to the ETC so good luck with that.

If people don't want me there just say so and I won't go.

I don't doubt your knowledge of the rules, which is far more detailed than mine.

However, a referee is there to inspire confidence in players that they will get good resolution to any disputes they have. Not to tell them that their Eldrad model can't use its psychic powers.
