Sssshhhhhhh....

Jeez Janth! You'll ruin perfectly good ribbing

So, how many did you have signed up for the 40k event?

I'm not sure since Mike Ulibarri is handling that. I know its not what we were hoping for (there is a San Diego Con with RTTs and supposedly something in anaheim), but thats down partly on us for having to scramble this together on short notice and partly on the fickle nature of the SoCal 40k crowd in general. We will likely simply roll both events together next year and avoid being close to Adepticon, in terms of date, because I think there is a certain measure of burnout at the moment.

PS- yeah we didn't post our final draft because the tech writer person is still cleaning up our poor gramar!

PPs- If I had to hazard a guess, I think our numbers will resemble last year (ie 30ish) unless a bunch of the 40k guys from the league sign up late.

Lists were due a week ago or two weeks ago; do you mean to tell me that we could just show up?

Because my army list submission was a list I'd never played before, and I've been trying to cram in practice games to figure out how it works.

If you want to mod your list, just make sure it gets to us prior to friday. Walk ins will get random pairings.

I'll roll with what I have - Brad built it for me, so if I lose I can blame it on him and his poor list writing skills instead of my bad generalship.

And if I win, of course it was my brilliant generalship, and not my great list. Seems like a win/win for me.

On the bright side, 32 people over 5 rounds should give a clear winner.

And we will still hand out the 2k in goodies even if five people and someones mom shows up.....

There are lots of guys planning on showing at the last minute, the nature of gamers I suppose, ha! Should be a really good turn out! Beautiful location too

It is possible, but I would not count on it. Due to list submissions etc, I would say that those that are registered now are the ones for the most part are showing up.

Has the smell of a new Blood Angels codex brought you out of retirement?

Well, it does have that freshly printed smell. Hopefully I'll do better with them than I have been with the pdf version, although, I haven't had a chance to play a single game with the new dex yet. Maybe I'll get an easy round one against Adam or something.

HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Flying to California in the morning.

See all you hippies there! =D

Good luck to everyone.

So again to bring back a question from the first page, is anyone allowed to show up? A friend and I would love to show up and watch, meet some dakka people, and learn as much as we can about the tourny scene before jumping in feet first.

Anyone from the general public is welcome to stop by. If you are interested in a battlefoam kit, I believe Romeo is going to be there personally and usually can do the custom traced on site, if memory serves. I plan on getting at least one custom case for my fantasy tournament army.

Driving tomorrow. Lots of time to kill, but I get to drive past the only Sonic anywhere near my house, so at least tasty beverages are in the offing!

You should not have sprung mission #4 on us after we have turned in our lists.

classic.

It got modified to make it less auto-tie. Don't know why it's an issue. It's the same framework w/slightly more distributed BP's. And like was said earlier in the thread you could send in a new list Blackmoor as long as you did it before today. Or even hand it to themt tonight. But your probably on the road already.

Where the hell is there a Sonic in CA? I see their commercials all the time but I don't know if I've ever actually seen a Sonic fast food joint.

Saw one in Fullerton near the shopping center there. Was like seeing a white whale.

I do not know when they put up the final missions, but I just noticed it late last night for the first time.

It is more than changing my list, because I am playing chaos that has poor elites and fast attack.

If I had enough time, I could have played my Eldar that take advantage of every FOC slot.


I left the old scenario at work, so I am not sure of the old mission, but I think it had you reducing the army and did not specify where it came from in the FOC. The different is that not all armies are the same, and a lot of armies are not well rounded and do not have good options in every FOC selection.

I'm starting to get excited...

Everyone on dakka I'd like to meet you if I haven't yet, so feel free to come over and say hi...

I'm the guy on the bottom left here... http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=&pIndex=1&aId=14900008&start=2

Yes, they had to photoshop me in to the picture because my dumb ass left early to beat traffic. Haha....

Ozy you going? I know I'll see Allan and Brad, and I can't wait to discover who the man behind Dashofpepper is

I'll be there, probably wearing a Pavement T-shirt each day. I've met barely anyone on Dakka, so that should be fun, though you may have to gaze down towards the bottom tables to see me unless I get some good matchups with my Tau

To sum it up, we will recognize you since you will be the only Tau player.

This one is in Gilroy. There's also one in Hayward, and one in Sacramento (I think).

No, Yakface will probably have Tau, too.

Oh yeah, but I know who he is.

Which reminds me, I will bring my micron pens so I can work on his fire warriors between rounds.

Baton down the hatches and hide the womenfolk because I will be coming to the Slaughter to rape and pillage, after all!

Note to self: Never alter plans around a woman again!

So I will meet you guys there, looking forward to seeing some old friends and making some new ones.

Looking forward to meeting you Shep!
