You'll have enough time to process the info and make decisions!? Do you even sleep Reece?

Maybe he just keeps Frankie locked in a cold, well lit room, with white noise until he finishes processing the results.

Haha, I have the results coming in in real time, already can tell where the ball will land on most of them, some are close.

Once I have the data tomorrow in the AM, it will only take me a few hours to compile it, update the ITC format, and open up the tickets for sale.

And we keep Frankie locked in a room for everyone else's safety, lol!

Don't listen to John! He's only going to maybe try to think about making room on the schedule if nothing else comes up.

Meanwhile, Adam and I are just waiting to see if we can bring our Knight armies or if we're going to be stay at home sad dads!

Hey, I never said I was even going to try! I just asked a simple question.


According to other threads, Knights never should have been allowed in the first place.

Adam has to be there. Someone is going to have to represent Team-One-and-Five. Adam has a reputation to maintain.

And I won't since I'm gonna bring broken eldar and Win-It-All, (with or without the WK).

Can't wait! I will def be going!

I'm getting my ticket for it tommrow, I don't care if I have to make an army that is barely playable I came up with the night before I miss 40k

I can't see why they wouldn't be allowed since there was an all Forgeworld Knight list at this year's LVO and they are all LoW

Tickets up for sale!

We will get an answer o Knights ASAP.

Reece, if I buy a ticket but then can't make it, would I be able to sell it to someone else later on?

Tickets are fully refundable up until 30 days from the event at which point they are still transferable!

Set the tone Reece, say Knights are good to go; be the hero 40k needs not the one the the basement posters think they need. You won't get them out of their basements no matter how you rule things

All joking aside I wait with baited breath... This post got weird fast.

I mean, why wouldn't they be?

Many people are taking all Knights being declared LoW as their chance to say since LoW are 0-1 in ITC that Knights should be disallowed as a force or cad and only allowed as a 0-1.

It is perfectly logical to assume that (1) if LOW are 0-1; and, (2) if Knights are LOW; then, (3) you can either only take 0 or 1 of a Knight in your army. Therefore, with that LOW limitation in place, as it is written, you would not, nor should not, be able to ever take more than one Knight in your army and therefore the Knight codex is unplayable.

So ultimately, if Knights are to be allowed as a codex/army, FLG is forced to have an exception that contradicts an earlier ruling. At that point, it doesn't make sense to then limit other LOW choices such a Wraith Knights without the decision appearing a bit arbitrary.

With the nerf to D Weapons I see no problem with multiple wraithknights

Knights are not unplayable as a Codex. The OathSworn Detatchment is 1 Knight Mandatory, 0-2 optional Knights.

Oathsworn Detatchment is the only legal option for an army to take Knights in the current 0-1 LoW format.

Give us a moment to take a breath, please! lol, we will get Knights addressed. We don't even have the book yet

In the meantime, BAO 40k champs is already 26% sold out, lol! Only been up for sale for 3 hours.

So... You advocate taking a single Knight in an army? I dunno about you but spotting an opponent a 1400 point lead seems like a bad idea. Therefore, if you are wanting to play the codex as an army rather than a single knight, then you really don't have that option as the ITC 0-1 LOW ruling goes.

NO! The Salt Gods must be appeased! :p

They're unplayable as a Primary army.

Oathsworn is their "Allied" detatchment so to speak

Done and done. Can't wait. Draconic awards going to be there again?

Also the possibility of multiple Gargantuan Squiggies?

No Malifaux?
