Tabling does not automatically mean you get a Massacre. Unless I missed something from the rules packet somewhere that states it does. For example in VPs you would still need to win by the margin to claim a massacre. Likewise in Scenario 2, even with your opponent tabled you would still need 5 scoring units to claim a massacre. That is how I understand tabling to work at least and the way we have always played it.

I completely agree that that is how Tabling should work. i.e. you get to play out the rest of the game and try to get the rest of the objectives.

Unfortunately, no tabling rules were provided with the missions so you may end up playing any number of variants including massacres for tabling.

Ok, just making sure I hadn't missed something. Since that is how tabling is handled where I am playing then I am not going to worry or change my strategy now.

Of course, I never like to underestimate my ability to be completely owned.

In mission 2 you can table your opponent and still draw the game. haha!

Possibly 3 people with max scores so that's why I wouldn't make a long drive. It'll still be a fun day since I'm just gonna put down a ton of something and run with it

I think we are gonna be around 16 or so. Thats possibly 2 undefeated at the end of it.

Just called we have 19 at my store. That means as many as 3 can go undefeated. 42 can have up to 6 go undefeated for your tournament.

Our store Legends in CA is over-capacity right now at 44 people. Terrain will probably crappy considering their original cap was 24!

I am bringing some terrain to help mitigate that.

Just have your army bring its own terrain. Flickerfields or KFF or Shield, etc.

Ya, Disdainful and I are building/painting terrain to make sure we have plenty for the 40 players we are expecting. We don't need much but we wanted to make sure we had enough so all the tables have LoS blocking terrain.

Go go coke cans and electronics packing material!

I'm really excited to see what happens this weekend...I'm hoping I get to play against hulksmash.

I am pretty excited to play this weekend too. It's a shame Hulk moved so far away from Cali.

Just a note to everyone, make sure you confirm your spot this week before you make the trip to the semi store-we don't want any mishaps with not being able to play or something!

Looking forward to seeing who brings what to Pasadena too, should be some interesting competition.

Got any kroot forests?

But terrain will definitely be scarce there! I still can't believe that Legends is going to try to pull it off. With that many tables there will be hardly any room to move. In fact, I hope Game Kastle can help them out because they are short about 10 tables.

Either way, I'm not expecting much.

I know my store.

I'm counting on llight terrain...and know it will happen.

6 psyfleman dreads are going to have a feild day!

light terrain means my bikes can just run all over everything without much worry...

It would be nice if they updated and corrected that damn winner's list. My store (and hence my own name) isn't even on it.

Contact the store you played at and advise them that they are not on the list. I imagine they can e-mail/call GW to tell them.

Being as how this is literally the 20th post about this read the last 20 post about how we said contact your store and let them know and it is fine. No use in hearing the same thing 20 times as it has an easy fix.



I got 2 questions for you all out there.

Who here has the most people attending their location(# of players, where at, and what store)?

Who here has the least amount attending their location(Same)?

Don't think it's the biggest but we have 42 spots filled in MN at Legion Games

And yeah just call the store and let them know and you should be fine.

Well I just got an email from GW about how the first round winners list

They said to use the list they sent me to determine who is allowed to play, however if a player or store isn't on the list just dont worry about it and assume they're allowed

Guess that means they dont really intend their final list to be accurate

Yup, I'm playing at Showcase comics this weekend and I just messaged Mikhaila yesterday. He promptly got back and told me I was still in. I was worried because my store (Brave New Worlds) wasn't on the list (even though my store had told me tuesday that GW confirmed via email their prelim results). I had originally contacted Showcase the week after prelims to sign up for semis.

So if you signed up at a semis location just contact them to make sure your still good to go. However, if you waited til now to sign up at a semis location, best of luck to you in getting a spot ....

lol now you see my pain.

My store might be the low one with 19 players. You wouldnt think that would be the small one by any means!

Usually the small one is pretty small cause it's in the middle of nowhere, but this year seems to be that everywhere is just packed

Makes sense from a business perspective. If I was GW, I wouldn't want to pay out an army and two battleforces to some site where they had 6 guys. Less sites means more players at each site, hopefully means more competition and less 'Woo I picked a low attendance site and won an army!'. I know there was a bit of that in previous years.

Oh yeah it definitely makes sense business wise. Makes people tune their armies which also means people paying for new models on split second decisions. I for one am glad that the competition is going to be heavy this year.

Do you know if you get any say in what models you receive in your army?
