http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net FLGS announced over the weekend to us 40K players that GW advised there is going to be a Ard Boyz tourney. The FLGS was in contact with their GW rep last week and this was what the GW rep advised.The first round would be in July (2nd weekend IIRC). 2500 point format and painting (still) not a requirement. Anyone else get any info on this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/735365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/735365.page GMT
Details pretty much what you have heard: July 11th, 2500 pts, 40k. No need for paint, all models must be WYSIWYG. 3 games using normal 40k rules and normal force org chart. List of stores running it is being compiled. If you want to play, encourage your store to run the event. The manager should contact his rep in the Trade Sales department. The store should have room for 12 players on standard 6'x4' boards.

Fantasy will be later in the year and WoTR will be early next year. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/735482.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/735482.page GMT GTs!

Ard Boyz is a tournament system that starts at your local store, then next round regional then goes to a national final.

Essentially it is a power gamers wet dream.
Models can be unpainted, no sports points, too many points so you only get a small amount of games with too much ability to pack an army with chesse (I'm hanging for a 9 LR demolisher tank IG force)

I'd like to see it done at 1850 to make people think harder about their lists and get more people involved (2500 is a hell of alot of points)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/736340.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/736340.page GMT I'd like to see it done at 1850 to make people think harder about their lists and get more people involved (2500 is a hell of alot of points)[/quote]

Like, say, every other tourney out there?

The high limit (and no-holds-barred rules) are what make 'Ard Boyz unique. It allows those of us who play nicely the rest of the time to be ruthless for a day. The high points-value also encourages powerbuilds that simply won't fit in 1750-1850 tourneys. Sure, it scales some things out. But hard choices are still there in huge lists.

I'm looking forward to this year's event.

They give you the possibility of detecting deep striking units as they land and shooting at them immediately.

Nope, he meant three Demolisher Cannon shots plus all other weapons that can bear. Actually rather easy to do. Field a squadron of three Demolisher. Inq and two or three Mystics park themselves within 12" of any vehicle in the squadron. Deepstriking/summoned shows up.

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.

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.

At the WA semis in 2007, most folks who already had them passed the scenarios around to most other people anyways. It was the fair thing to do. Maybe some players didn't get to build their lists for the scenarios directly, but at least they got to consider tactics for a while before the games. I would've built my list the same way anyways, having already minmaxed as hard as possible.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/774007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/774007.page GMT flgs (mayhem comics) said we were confirmed for running it again this year. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/775572.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/775572.page GMT
We'll be posting the scenarios a few weeks before each event. They are being playtested currently.

An informational packet for stores running Ard Boyz events is going out via email today. It has sign up sheets, flyers, results sheets and other useful materials. Trade reps will email them to participating stores.

There may still be a few stores that need to be added. All participating stores not currently listed online should contact their trade rep to confirm and make sure the trade rep forwards the info to me.

Also, KP (in moderation) compensates against a min-sized unit strategy. Otherwise IG would _really_ run the show. Even with blobbing, all those support units will be a liability.

The most interesting points for me were the clarifications on codices:

1. How the new IG and SM codices affect allies for WH/DHs.

2. That Grey Knight Terminators can't ride in Valks or Vendettas.

3. That Deathwatch SM are no longer used.

4. That I completely missed the Blood Angels update in WD 329-330. Guess I'll be shopping around for some old magazines...

I'm travelling from upper michigan to play . . . somewhere hopefully, and any of the locations I've contacted either, aren't sure they are running it because of a Magic pre-release, just flat out not running it, one even indicated it was closing.

I would be very, very interested in hearing about any store that is running the tournament after the first weekend. If someone can confirm the stores name, and have a phone number for them, please PM me. We were told that was not an option, even already had a 2 day tournament scheduled for that weekend.

(And to be fair, GW is helping us to manage running both events on the same day. More curiosity here than drama.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/804685.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241535/804685.page GMT
