I wonder how many more people would go if there was a 40k aspect to it.

I'd Go : )

Go to a forum associated with a fantasy tournament, or go to the fantasy tournament itself?)

Every tournament doesn't have to have a 40k element. In this case, to run 40k, Chris would need: Additonal space to hold the 40k event, gaming tables, scenery, judges, and staff. Essentially, everything. He's taking over the Colonial from Matt York, and it's his first year. He's doing a good job with it, and in subsequent years he might decide to add 40k. But in his first year, just handling the transition and putting on a good fantasy touranement is a huge job in itself.

Hell, just getting my ancient orc army ready to play in it is a huge job.

Is anyone else getting an issue with the page? For me, the registration and newlsletter forms are covering half the page, so I can't really read anything.

Holy crap, you're actually stepping into the ring mike!?! How long has it been?

Same issue here. The content is unreadable because those two field tables cover the center of my screen.

PlasmaMike wrote:Holy crap, you're actually stepping into the ring mike!?! How long has it been?

Hmmmm, last actual GT I played in was the first GT that GW ran down in Baltimore.)

I'm signed up for Mechanicon in two weeks, then Conflict and Colonial next year. Blame it on Ludwig moving in with me, he's a bad influence. But mostly after running so much stuff this year out of the bunker, and getting to know so many of the guys, I just want to go spend weekends rolling dice and drinking. And Colonial has always been very good for both of those things.

Found this post on their forums with some more details (having trouble getting the website to work here, too):

http://www.thecolonialgt.com/forums30/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2866

Looks tempting!!!

Guys,

I will ask Winthrope Design to look into the issue, that is the company that is handling my IT and web site issues. If you need to send me a PM with your name, email, club, army, and where you are coming from and I will put you in the data base myself.

MM

Actually, I wanted to get a look at the rules, the FAQ, etc...But I can't because of the problem with the web page. Since I work weekends, it's unlikely I'd be able to come anyways. :(

:p Chris Asked me to see if there was interest in 40k Sunday before I posted.

So yea. I'm just testing the water trying to see if there would be interested. I'm going to be advertising for him like crazy since he puts on a great event.

Hey guys,

some of the kinks that were giving you problems before should be gone. Feel free to check out the site and register!

MM

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This is a friendly reminder that we are accepting payment for the 2011 Colonial GT beginning on November 1st! If you register for the event before March 12th, your payment for the event will be $80.00, that's $10.00 off!

So please register on the web site that lets us know that you are coming. You will be able to make your payment to secure your slot for the event.

The Master List will be maintained by the Tournament Organizer, and there will be a living list (in the forum) in a thread with the subject title of "Master List."

Remember that you can only secure your slot when I receive your payment. The price for the event is $90.00 unless you pre-register and prepay before the deadline date....then it is only $80.00

I am working with Winthrop Design to place an easy to pay button or link on the Colonial site.

In the meantime, please follow the directions for payment that is listed in the general rules for the event, under the tab of "Game Play."

Do you need a hotel room for the event? See the easy link on the bottom of every page that says "Starwood Hotels and Resorts", or click on the link "Click here for your reservations." This is so you can make your reservations as you register for the event. Otherwise you may call the hotel and make your reservations over the phone, just make sure to say that you are under the group "Colonial GT."


MM

Colonial GT now has 40 spots open for 40k. It will most likely fill up and possibly get larger

Same weekend as Lonewolf in Dallas. I guess that's only a problem for a small handful of folks who might try to make both.

Dallas TX? Or Dallas PA?

Since Chris hasn't made the rounds yet, I'll post up this message from him.
The group running 40K averages 35-40 people for their monthly RTTs and are quite experienced folks. The terrain will be extremely well done too


Thats right folks,

40k will be included in the 2011 Colonial GT! The new allocation of slots will be 90/40 (Fantasy/40K). After March 5th, any available slots will become open to all, so 40k can grow to more than 40 slots! Please visit the website www.thecolonialgt.com, to register for the event. On the web site under the gameplay tab, you will find a section on rules. This will give you the basis on the core rules for the event, including payment information. When you pay using paypal, please note that you are playing 40k in the comments section. If you are paying via check, make sure you place 40k in the bottom left hand "for" section on the check. The final details are being worked out for the tournament packets and will be placed on the web site for your convience. 40k players, please submit the army lists to BrGrimGT@gmail.com by March 25th, failure to do so by that date will result in 10 points being deducted from your final score. Payment for the event must be paid through me, by paypal or mail, which is covered on the web site.

At this time I would like to make a huge shout out to Dave at the Brothers Grim for running this 40k section of the Colonial GT! Please support him in this endevour! I know that with your help we can make 40k a permanent part of the Colonial GT!

I would also like to give thanks to Tony Spino for providing a entry ticket to next years Mechanicon! This ticket will give you entry to his 40k tournament! GW will be making this a Indy GT qualifyer, so a Vegas ticket is there. Mike Brandt has also provided a Nova GT ticket, as well as the 40k Warstore Weekend. Dave and the Brothers Grimm will also be provididng a ticket to their GT event which is happaning next year! I will also be providing a generous amount of prize support as I always have, and am working on a grab bag for all players! There Overall Winner will also be provided a sword, as in all my events!


See all of you there!

Thanks brother! As always I hope to see you there!


Just a reminder to everyone, the Colonial GT is having 40k as well as Fantasy this year. The information on the tournament itself and the rules for both systems are up on the web site: www.thecolonialgt.com under Gameplay.


MM

after the showing at conflict, I'm excited again for the colonial : ) which is in my backyard basically.

I'm still looking foward to playing Justic Cook there... haven't played since we tied at the conflict 2 years ago... damn big bugs back then!!!

We'll you will be please to know that I heared that Justin is building a Templar army, although he has DE........Maybe thats the one you will see! I know Justin is looking for you at the Colonial!


MM

Cant I just do a challenge match the Friday before?



I'd also recommend the sushiplace that is right in kingston as a great place for all you can eat sushi. Its like $20 for all you can eat of good stuff....

How many Dakka faces are going?

I don't think a Friday Night Challenge is a bad idea, thats actually a pretty cool idea......


MM

As all of you know,

The Colonial GT has added 40k to the Tournament. If you would like, you may submit photos of your 40k armies or figures to the slide show on the web site.

I would ask that the photos be in good taste, and unless you are doing a major scuplting job and want to show off the major work involved, that the models be fully painted.


Thank you,

MM

a little bird tells me that there is another ticket available.... I hear a ticket to adepticon 2012?

I'm just curious if anyone is flying and what airport they are flying into. I can't seem to find any flights into the local area (Princeton or Trenton). I keep getting redirected to Philidelphia or Newark.

you should fly into newark and then take the train down. Do you need a ride in from the train station? the closest would be Princeton junction, but New Brunswick is also good.

Had not even thought about trains. I'll put in some research but perhaps you can give me some ball park figures for ticket cost? I'm trying to budget money and figure out my training schedule and THEN i get to try and convince the wife to let me do it all lol.

well.... Its NJ transit.... I think last time i took that train it was about
$15-20 but that was peak hours.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
just checked NJ transit, should be 16.25 adult one way from Newark airport to Princeton junction friday the 8th. then you can grab a cab from there or grab a ride from someone. depending on what time you are going, i work next to Princeton junction and the hotel is on my way home

That is correct, one ticket for the Colonial will be passed out at this years Adepticon, and I will be giving one out for next years Adeptiocon.

Looking forward to it! It'll be a great event!

Greetings all!

I hope all of you have had as much fun as I have digging myself out of all this snow! This is a friendly reminder that there are still slots left for both 40k and WHFB for the 2011 Colonial GT! The Master List is located on the forums in the General Discussions area. If you have registered for the Colonial, this does not mean that you have a secure slot for the event, you must prepay to have your name added to the Master List. Whomever prepays first will been added to the list, the date of registration will have no bearing on availability. Registration and payment before the March 12th deadline will ensure the $10.00 off the standard ticket price of $90.00.

Here are the two options of payment for the event:

"For PayPal use: thecolonialgt@gmail.com
For snail mail please send checks payable to: The Colonial GT, LLC. 492 Sycamore St. Rahway, NJ 07065."

See you at the Colonial GT!

i'm revving up! my Army is getting a bunch of practice in now!

I'm pumped for this one as well.

I'm actually going to give the Space Wolves a rest for this one and take my Death Wing, just one more squad to finish painting and I'm ready...

I just wanted to check to see if there are spaces still available for the Fantasy side.. I wanted to make sure as I have never played in a big tourney before....

I don't think I'm going to have my army painted up in time... will be watching with interest either way, though. If I don't make it this year, I definitely will next year... this is too close to me and to awesome sounding to pass up.

where are you?

Me & 3 mates are hoping to sign up. Are all the 40k spots taken?

We all attend the same university and will be driving up to Princeton.

frgsinwntr wrote:where are you?

Maryland, so anything in PA / Northern Virginia / NJ gets my full attention! The only reason I wouldn't come to this is my progress in painting the army, which probably won't be done until the summer :-/

DorianGray wrote:Me & 3 mates are hoping to sign up. Are all the 40k spots taken?

Yes, there should be spots still available, though I know theres some folks who's names aren't on the list yet.

As for the 40K missions, we'll have a bunch of them posted so folks can try them out and give feedback. We'll then choose 5 from that lot for the actual GT.

We're typically used to 40 people for out RTTs every month (we had 42 last month) so we have some pretty awesome terrain for alot of tables.
It's our job to make sure you all have a great time at Chris's Colonial

-Greg of Brs Grim

I'm signed up and ready to go. Hope to see you guys there.

I'll be taking pictures of most of the armies/helping out at the event. I'm really looking forward to it! I'll be bringing a few guys down with me hopefully!

Hi All!

For everyone that's going to participate in the Colonial 40k this year, we have our mission packet posted!

There are 8 missions in the packet, we will be using any 5 of them. This is a PDF download. Please email us if you require a different format.

40k Players,

I am happy to announce that the Adepticon has just secured a ticket swap with the Colonial GT! At this years Adepticon, a ticket will be given out for the 2011 Colonial GT! The Colonial GT will be issuing a ticket to the 2012 Adepticon! This means that there are 12 tickets in total to be handed out at the Colonial GT!

40k will have a ticket to the 2011 Nova Open, War Store Weekend, Brothers Grimm GT, A 40k GW Indy Ticket, The Mechanicon GT, and now the 2012 Adepticon.

WHFB will have the GW Indy Ticket, the 2011 Nova Open, War Store Weekend, Big Show at Showcase Comics, Battle at Blobs Park and the Cross Roads GT!

See you at the Colonial GT!


MM

Remider:

I have just placed a hyperlink to the Master Lists of both 40k and WHFB on the participants page.

MM

Some extra terrain my buddy Nick and I built and painted for the GT. It'll help fill a few extra tables. (Mike D. has most of the other terrain not pictured at the store, it's all painted by the way Chris).

This is some of the terrain that will be at the tournament used in a game at my FLGS today!

How many points is this thing

yermom wrote:How many points is this thing

1850 for 40k, 2500 for WHFB

I talk to Chris, who runs the Colonial, on the phone quite often. I'm sure there are a few others who can echo my feeling that he cares a great deal about the success of the event, keeping the old attendee base happy, but attracting new folks.

If it isn't enough that I gave him some NOVA Open ticketage, you can quote me as endorsing Chris, especially his addition of 40k to the GT for this year ... plus plans to really intimately develop its format along the lines of some of the events lately as the years go on.

Head up to this thing if you can, there'll be some well known regulars there!

oh yea : )

I'll be there. Looking for a good old rumble with 40k.
you coming up for it Mike?

Mike's a tease when it comes to playing in events

Yermom and a few others tried to convince me at SVDM to come up for Colonial, I'm seeing if I can get the weekend free. When you say NOVA Open tickets Mike, you mean for the main GT or invitational?

But the real question is...will there be tasty beverages?

Will there be Nova Invitational slots given out to the best general and best overall of the Colonial GT? That would be a really big incentive for me to unleash the fury of the Space Cats.

Target text me if you can get the weekend free. I'll make room for you at my house if you need

There are ALWAYS tastey beverages involved

Are there going to be any paint scores or sportsmanship scores?

iIts in the scoring packet dude : )

Yes paint scores, yes sports, but it says how its done. Its a system that gets my approval

Rich you know I dont know how to read

Guys,


I just put up an easy to use paypal button on each page of my web site.

Also, Dave at the Brothers Grimm will be running the 40k Colonial GT qualifier on March 12th. If you win this event, you will receive a free ticket to the Colonial for 40k. I will reimburse you if you have already paid. Its a win win no matter what!


MM

Its all good chris. You can pay me back after I win it : )

Signed and payed up.
This is Bill M.

Looking forward to this one. Bringing my Orks out of retirement for this one.

How are things filling up on the 40k side? I'm trying to get the time off to come up for this after having a blast at SVDM and Conflict, but not sure I'll be able to commit for a bit longer.

This is getting more and more tempting. The only reason I'm not sold yet is that it's the weekend after Adepticon. Arg!

Mannahnin wrote:This is getting more and more tempting. The only reason I'm not sold yet is that it's the weekend after Adepticon. Arg!

I know, I'm in the same boat. I'd planned for Colonial, and then my wife gave me my tickets, a gascard, and time off to go to Adepticon, as my Christmas present. When I get back I'll have to spend a few days and make sure the shops are back up to speed. Won't know if I'm good to go until the last minute. Hopefully nothing blows up while I'm away, and Chris has spots left.

Colonial has always been a great tournament and get together. If I can't make the tourney, I'll at least drive up for the festivities Friday/Sat nights, which traditionally run pretty late.)

Yeah, I know. I've always loved The Colonial, and was totally bummed to miss it last year (went the three preceding years). It's usually (historically) my most relaxing, pure-enjoyment GT of the year. I just kind of doubt that I have enough wife credit stored up.

The slots are now starting to be taken up. The new paypal button on the site is making things so much easier on everyone. Just check the master list on the forums under general discussions.


MM

Good news guys,

the War Store will be the official vender for the Colonial GT!


MM

I can't wait to win my free ticket this weekend : )

Sweet swords MM. I will definitely be there next month! I have always wanted to attend the Colonial, but now that you have 40k, I am all over it!!

I can only say good things about MM ran events. I have known MM for years and have attended quite a few of his smaller events. They have always been a good time with no shenanigans.

I would recommend to anyone who wants to attend a good 40K or Fantasy event, that you go to the Colonial.

Does anyone know if there are any 40k spots left?

I talked to MM today and there are still spots left for 40k.

Alright, should be signed up by tonight then.

See you all there.

Okay guys and gals, here are the numbers so far for prepaid players on the Master List for the event:

45 for WHFB
35 for 40K


Payment after the 12th will be reverted to the original price of $90.00. The $80.00 fee was a special that was ran until the 12th of March.

Congratulations to Brad Nichols, who won the March 12th 40k Qualifier out of the Brothers Grimm!



MM

I am still working on means to get there. The probability is high though I am not sure which Game system I will play. Most likely 40k Dark Angles...

Hope you can make it Dark Overlord!

A couple of more prepaid....hope you can squeeze in.


No Eldar?



MM

From what i see we have a HUGE list building up.

I'll call you this weekend Chris, my friend Nick Garrison (Chaos Space Marines) is the friend I'm bringing to the 40k event

Just read/heard/got a call... 40k! make sure your army lists are in by tomorrow!

Got my list in last night.

Looking forward to seeing some old time gamers and meeting new ones!

Greetings all!

Due to the planning of the Colonial logistically, I am implimenting a payment cutoff date of April 1st, 2011. After this date, if you still would like to attend the Colonial GT, please contact the Tournament Organizer about attending the event. We are currently at 104 reserved players!

Also ensure that if you are one of these players that you have turned in your army list.


See you at the Colonial GT!

-MM

Guys,

we are at 114 players for the event, there is only a couple of slots left!

MM

anyone with a room want to share?

Hyped up for the event! See you all Saturday

Great tournament, very well run and organized. I'll be back next year .

Pictures/Video within the week!

Was a ton of fun, Really great job guys!

Thank you everyone involved I had a really fun time. With a big thank you going out to the Brother's Grim staff and Chris for making it all possible. Pictures and tournament report coming when I have time.

Glad to hear this went off well. Can't wait for battle reports and AARs!

My name is Greg, I was the judge in the red shirt two sizes too big with the spiky hair.

Since we were never given a chance to address you all, I would like to give you all a huge thank you on behalf of Dave, Steve, Bill and myself. When our Fantasy players told us that The Colonial was mulling with the idea of hosting 40K, we jumped at the opportunity and did our best to convince Chris it was an excellent idea and to let folks who play or work at Brothers Grim run the games. Our Fantasy players always raved about the great times they had at the event, and as 40K players, we always felt left out. 40K was originally given 30 slots, which ballooned to 50 due to your wonderful response. As you could see with the amazing turnout we had, the 40K players contributed greatly to The Colonial's success. I sincerely hope you all enjoyed the event and everyone's company. In addition, I hope we met you expectations as the 40K judges.

The players should all be proud that almost everyone was someone's favorite opponent, and that speaks leagues to the great attitudes and players we had.

This was the first time folks from Brothers Grim ran a GT, and I want to thank you all again for being such an outstanding bunch.

I truly hope to see you all at The Grim Open http://www.brgrim.com/?page_id=1421 on June 18th which we will be running again.

Cheers,
Greg

Well done guys!

It was a great weekend.

was wondering when the 40K results will be posted.

Thanks to all of those that participated in the Wargaming for a Cause charity dice program to help the Lone Survivor Foundation! Your contributions were greatly appreciated!

May you roll mostly 6's (except for break checks ;p)!

Had a blast at the event in 40k, will be back!

Had a really good time this weekend. Came out ahead in 3 of my games, but took big losses in the other two. Definitely still learning how to run my reserve Tyranids, and the army could use a couple tweaks. Finished just in the top half, but picked up a 3rd Best Painted.

Thanks to Chris for organizing the event, to the Brothers Grim gang for running the 40K side, and to all my opponents for some great games.

I had a great time and all my oppenents were true gentlemen and very good players that taught me something in each game. While I managed to go undefeated, I also managed to not win any primaries either, with 5 draws. Thanks to Sean, Bob, Tom, Rich, and Casey for the great games. See you at Grimm.

The tourney was smooth and the venue was outstanding, kudos to the organizers.

Great event! I'll see you all soon!

Alright boyz, here's what everyone's been waiting for!

Thanks!

Congratulations to all the winners.

Could you please add which army each player played if it is not too much trouble?

Had a lot of fun! All my games were pretty tough battles. Had to really concentrate on what I was doing. I am surprised I did as well as I did with only getting 4 1/2 hours of sleep both nights! lol!....everyone I played was great!

8th place Flesh Tearers!!! woo hoo!!!

Thanks Ned! Come by the Only Game in Town in Somerville sometime, I'm down for some more Blood on Blood action!

Anybody know the army lists for the top 10 players?
If not how about the top 3 and the best general guy.

I'd also be interested in seeing the army break down, if it's not too much trouble. Sounds like it was a great event!

Vanilla Marines and Mech Guard for first and second. Not sure what Gabe had. Simon used an immolater horde and I believe Nick was running his Demons. Jeff O had Blood Angels.

Dameon Space Marines
Al IG
Gabe ?
Simon Sisters of Battle
Nick Daemons
Brookie Space Wolves
Jeff Blood Angels
Tom Blood Angels
Vincent IG

I'm almost positive Gabe was running footdar! That'snot a joke lol.

But it was nice to see the variety of armies on top. If only some tyranids or orks had made the lsit as well.

Edit: I can get you pretty accurate lists for Dameon, Simon, myself obviously (Nick), Tom and Vincent.

I took 11th place with PURE sisters of battle. Simon leen ran immolator spam mixed with IG.

I know that after my poor orks got hit by those 10 immolators, Spam was a good description of what my army was looking like - Small chunks of overcooked meat!

Orks love da' burney dance, but usually they like it better when they get to be the ones laying down the flame templates.

Just uploaded two videos from the pictures/video I took at the Colonial. I was busy for the most part, but took pictures when I could.

Tough painting scoring. Gabe's army scoring a 9 in painting pretty much killed 2nd place for him.

Sportsmanship did not appear to have much impact, which is nice.

Gabes a good guy and a good player it seems. I wish i had the chance to play him
