80 WHFB, and 34 40k, waiting to fill at least 40 WM/Hordes players. The War Store just announced their official sponsorship on their front page!


MM

If you cant find the warmahordes players, you could always open up more spots for 40k and fantasy with the secondary space, and run brackets for 40k split between the 2 event spaces. How many people can the secondary space hold max?

Is Warmachine/hordes the whole weekend or friday only? If its Friday only I might give it a shot if I can get off work early since I'm reged for 40k.

I'm excited to play! Lets see if the Sisters can win this one!

I'm ready for this one as well. Just 2 new Dreadnoughts to assemble and paint, and I'm ready to go!
See you all real soon!

Oh, and if you are looking for that last 40k ticket, it will be up for grabs at Jester's Playhouse in a couple of weeks...

true. I may show up to try and win it... just so I can sell it to someon : p

Third wave for prize support for the Colonial!


MM

Please go to the Colonial web site as some slots have opened!


MM

The missions are now up on the Colonial Web Site for both WHFB and 40k. www.thecolonialgt.com

Enjoy!


MM

here is a quick link to the missions...

http://www.thecolonialgt.com/Colonial2012/40k%20Missions.pdf

My comments are in orange

Scenario One – Night Fall
Deployment: Spearhead
Main Objective: Kill Points
Special Rules – Night fight last for 3 full turns. This is going to be a rough game for shooty armies


Scenario Two ‐ Anti Gravity
Deployment: Spearhead Deployment
Main Objective: 4 Objectives. 2 in each player’s deployment area 12ich from each other
Special Rules: At the top of every turn one person rolls a D6…..2‐5 nothing happens…1 all units gain slow
and purposeful on a roll of a 6 all units gain fleet of foot. Units that are slow and purposeful roll 2d6 and
take the lowest and units that have fleet roll what is a fleet roll...? you mean run right? fleet just means you can assault after running 2d6 and take the highest unless otherwise stated in your
codex.

Scenario Three – Black Ops
Deployment: 12inch Pitched Battle
Main Objective: D3+2 Objectives set up like in the Seize Ground in the 40k Rulebook.
Special Rules – 1 unit not normally allowed MUST enter the battle field via deep strike and 1 MUST
outflank. how do demons work in this? they ALL MUST deepstrike... which MUST do we go with?

Scenario Four – The Highlander
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Main Objective: Kill Points
Special Rules – One non vehicle unit per side gains +1WS +1STR +1A can a stat go above 10?

Scenario Five – King of the Hill
Deployment: Dawn of War
Main Objective: Get as many models on or around the structure to win
Special Rules – Number of models on or within 5inch of the marker placed in the center of the table. Do models created during the game count? I can see scarab farms and termagaunts/tervigons being a bit too strong here...
Vehicles count as 5 models per.

these are Just some questions i think need to be addressed Before the event this weekend for clarification...

Agreed on the majority of the questions, as to the one above I clipped from your set:

Units with fleet already are going to roll 2d6 and take the highest, and units with slow and purposeful already are going to roll 2d6 and take the lowest (when moving for them). Think it's just the syntax making that one a bit confusing to read.

What I wonder is how it will effect jump infantry, bikes, etc.

Also, for the last mission: vehicles are worth 5 models per, but monstrous creatures are still just 1 model?

Units with fleet do not roll 2d6... they roll 1d6 normally and can asault after... But yea... do bikes move at half speed? jumpers also? do they take dangerous terrain tests? how about if they have less gravity? do they move EXTRA fast?

No it's saying that "units with fleet roll 2d6 and take the highest"

IE, we roll a 6, I have harlequins, you have sisters of battle. Your sisters gain fleet of foot, my harlequins which already had fleet of foot, now roll 2d6 and take the highest when fleeting.

Then apply the same example to slow and purposeful, units that had it before rolling a 1, now have to roll 2d6 and take the lowest. Everyone else just gains normal S&P

Edit: And if jump infantry and bikes are given S&P by the anti-grav...do they now need to make dangerous terrain checks?! Please say yes! (Just kidding, but since I don't use them I'll give it a big thumbs up!)

I sent the link to Mike...

BTW

All of our lists appearanlty had to be submitted early...

March 25th...

Yup, twas in the packet, I submitted my jenky list on sunday evening, I take it you missed zee deadline?

The submission date was kind of hidden in the packet for this last week. The player pool is not super large, and Mike D is very very efficient. I'm sure he's not going to freak up by missing for 1-2 days.

I expected some interesting scenarios, those are inspiring. What's everyone bringing?

I'll be on the 40K side with pretty balanced out Orks. They are grey skinned, yellow tunics / micro art bodies, and brown pants. Will have some pictures after the event.

I got some answers... the movement issue on the bikes and such still pending... His response in pink.... since he can't get on here to post for some reason : p

Scenario Two ‐ Anti Gravity
what is a fleet roll...? you mean run right? fleet just means you can assault after running --
That is correct. I just use the word fleet since I'm an old school player and keep forgetting that is is basically changed to run

Scenario Three – Black Ops
how do demons work in this? they ALL MUST deepstrike... which MUST do we go with? -
Demon for this scenario operate as normal as described in their codex

Scenario Four – The Highlander
can a stat go above 10? -
No stat in the game can ever go above 10. This scenario is the same

Scenario Five – King of the Hill
Do models created during the game count? I can see scarab farms and termagaunts/tervigons being a bit too strong here... -
created units DO count for this.

Oh yea... and I'll be bringing Sisters of battle!

So fingers crossed on not facing bug / necro farms in Rd 5

Still GT's are expected to be challenging to players who will either rise to the challenge or not, may the dice gods be with you !

pretty much... I can handle the bugs... but the necrofarm... thats just obnoxious!

I have some questions for the Fantasy scenarios.

In the Round 2 games if I am lucky enough to play dwarves does this mean I auto get 2 bonus points? Good for me sucks for dwarf players.
Round 4 Broken units, so the unit has to fail a break test or in the case of undead and Daemons lose combat/fail an instability roll. So if a unit gets wiped out completely does that count?

Just asking for clarity.. I am not a fan of Fled or dead scoring but it is what it is. Thanks

Hey gang Mike DiCicco here. I'm currently running the 40k side of the Colonial. Lots of thanks to frgsinwntr for posting up for me. I got the log in problem fixed so I'd like to open this up to any further questions and am really looking forward to running a great event for you guys.

Mike DiCicco

PS The question about the jump packs and bikes, they are only slowed they are not taking dangerous terrain tests

can you clarify what slowed means please?

Necron Wraiths are explicitly not slowed by difficult terrain because they phase in and out of the dimension. Are they affected by this special rule? (The are jump infantry)

Mike DiCicco

PS The question about the jump packs and bikes, they are only slowed they are not taking dangerous terrain tests

To jump onto frgs question below:

Bikes and jump infantry are never "slowed" by terrain, they just have to take dangerous terrain checks, so applying slow and purposeful isn't clear. Since they move 12 inches normally, would they then roll 2d6 and double the highest, or something similar?

Also for Bikes, how would this effect them turboboosting? Would they be unable to, or how would you apply the "slowing" to the up to 24 inch move?

CreepyCrawly wrote:Necron Wraiths are explicitly not slowed by difficult terrain because they phase in and out of the dimension. Are they affected by this special rule? (The are jump infantry)

In this case since it isn't difficult terrain, it's slow and purposeful, I think they would be affected as all other jump infantry. No trying to get fluffed out advantages for your wraiths mister! After all, under the same logic, grey knight personal teleporters make them enter the warp and then pop back out in another location, would this mean they wouldn't be affected either? :-p

You're stuck being slowed suckah!
