Yeah I might! Grant, Adam and myself were thinking of heading down via train. If it isn't too late I will look into logistics around jan 2-5 or so... ATM in Washington with family so best if I wait until I'm back in SF.

Still debating on going if I can get my models ready in time

@brothererekose - that list that you mentioned would be legal. Would love to see how it performs in the group down here.

@ Rest of thread - we look forward to seeing how many can come down for this and growing our recurring tournaments at this location. We were able to successfully hand out 7 different prizes with a 16 person event in November and can increase that with additional attendance.

Is there early registration for this?

I would like to go to this. Kinda last minute but I'll see if I can.

Interesting. I'll see if I can make it!

There is no pre-registration for this event. You sign up when you show up.

@Loch and Julnlecs - I would love to see both you guys come down. The more, the merrier!

Im planing on going . how important is painting? is there going to be a best painted and thats it or does it effect overall scores?

For those in the Los Angeles area, a couple of my would-be local buddies are unable to come.

Anybody up for splitting the cost down to G.E.S.D.?

Lemme know here or hit me on FaceBook.

Julio, if you & your buddies are cruising through, I live right by the 5 fwy (Burbank Airport), barely minute's stop to pick me up ....

Azgrim I believe I was able to help you through PM, however for everyone else... Paint will be around 28% of your overall score. If you looking to try to win best overall, a painted army will definitely make it easier and put you in the running even if you lose or tie a game. We will be awarding Best General as well, so paint or not, you can definitely still compete for a top prize.

How did this pan out?

I am extremely bummed to have had to cancel and miss out.

I stopped by briefly to check things out. Looked like people were having a good time and there were a couple nice looking armies there.

Results please!

I would like to go to this. Kinda last second yet I am going to see if I can.
