Doh

Bought my ticket today! This will be my first GT. It is about time I unleash my Tigress Sisters of Battle.

so a few quick questions as I have never done this before. If this is in the wrong place I apologize
Do I need to supply the objectives for seize ground/control missions?
How many copies of my list do I need? Typed? (as I don't own army builder)
Display Board?

Cool, hope to see you there with my Necrons.

whitespirit wrote:so a few quick questions as I have never done this before. If this is in the wrong place I apologize.

I'll try to answer your questions.

whitespirit wrote:Do I need to supply the objectives for seize ground/control missions?

It can't hurt to have them just in case.

whitespirit wrote:How many copies of my list do I need? Typed? (as I don't own army builder)

As long as the list is legible, it's fine. As for number of copies, one for the judges, one for you and one for each of your opponents is what I take to tourneys.

whitespirit wrote:Display Board?

It can't hurt just for moving your army from game to game. Mine is an $8 wooden tray from Target, nothing fancy. I do want to spice it up a bit when I'm gainfully employed once again.

whitespirit wrote:Bought my ticket today! This will be my first GT. It is about time I unleash my Tigress Sisters of Battle.

Great! I'm excited to see you there!

Yes; the Seize Ground objectives should be on 25mm bases and the Capture and Control should be on 40mm bases.

whitespirit wrote:How many copies of my list do I need? Typed? (as I don't own army builder)

You need one copy to give to us; one copy to give to each of your opponents; and one copy for yourself. That's a total of 9 copies. Your list doesn't have to be constructed using Army Builder, but it must be typed, show all units, upgrades, and their individual point costs. It also needs to have your name on it.

whitespirit wrote:Display Board?

Display boards are not a requirement. That being said, you can probably imagine that unloading your army from your transport before each game and reloading it after each game can get pretty old pretty fast. Lots of players bring something as simple as a cookie sheet or corkboard to carry their army from game to game.

Are refunds available if unable to attend the event? Working full time, Ive missed 2 of the last GTs because of limited coverage at work.

So, current rumors indicate 6th will be coming out in the first week of July, perhaps on the 7th. What's the game plan for that?

I hope not. There will be a lot more arguing as the event is 2 or 3 months away.

The only thing keeping me from coming up for this is the uncertainty about the next edition coming out. I might not have enough book time if it comes out 4 weeks before the event to play with any kind of clue. Will wait and see...

The release of the new, sixth edition ruleset for Warhammer 40,000 is confirmed for June 30, 2012. Based on that date, we’re going to be using SIXTH EDITION rules for the Golden Throne Grand Tournament. We will be supporting players in their efforts to learn the new rules by posting weekly articles on our website.

See you in August!

For those of you asking about the possibility of sixth edition. It looks like we'll be sticking with fifth, since sixth is likely to drop in early to mid-July.

Unfortunately not.

Well then, take a risk and throw my money in the pool I will lol. $50 isnt a lot to me, it is still a good amount of cash though.

That disappoints me, actually. If we see the new rules at the end of June, I'd rather not have to return mentally to 5e over a month later.

I certainly understand the position, though.

Edited; we're using SIXTH EDITION rules!

I'm all for 5th. I think with 6th being so new, there's going to be a lot of rules debate and wrong-plays (ruleswise) during the games.

Buying my ticket when I get home from big sur. I'll be there to game the first day. No guarantee on day 2 though. Just paid.

We've just gotten official word from the head of Trade Sales that the official release date of sixth edition is June 30. We're going to go with sixth edition for the Golden Throne. More details on the way!

We will begin offering a bundled deal of 1 Golden Throne Singles Ticket + 1 Sixth Edition Rulebook on June 18, when the price for the new book is officially announced. If you've already bought a ticket, you'll still be able to pick up the rulebook at the discounted price.

We'll also be posting articles breaking down the rules of the new edition on our website following its release. We'll do everything we can to be certain this event runs smoothly and provides tons of fun to everyone who attends!

Sounds fun! I don't know if I can make it tho. I'll have to see what I can do. I hope 6th doesn't mess with my Boyz to much.

So it is 6th after all? Well then, that will make this the first gt with 6th Ed rules. Here's to hoping they don't suck! It will be interesting to see the data from this event. It will.give us a good idea of what is to come with the new edition.

Yes, we're using 6th edition rules. With an official confirmation from GW of June 30 for the new book, we're now confident in officially committing to that new ruleset. We'll be supporting the use of 6th edition rules by offering a discounted 6th edition rulebook to anyone who purchases a Golden Throne ticket and by posting articles explaining the new rules on our website.

That's a really good marketing idea!

I am excited to give the 6th ed rules a try and see how the play out. It's cool you guys get first crack at it (I don't think the ATC are using 6th ed) so this will be a great way to gather some data on how 6th will change the meta.

I plan on attending this Gt with my friend from the east coast, im bring the pain with my Nids and hes bring Crons.

That's awesome, we're looking forward to seeing you there!

Reece, who from frontline is playing in the event?

Frankie, Will, myself....I think all of the Team are going that can. Probably ChristianA, Raw Dogger, Stave Stiff, and any of the other guys in Northen Cali. I would guess that there will be 6-10 of us there.

Will won his ticket at our in-store primer event, after going 6-0 with Chaos Daemons. I really hope that he brings them to the Golden Throne so that we can see what a good player can do at a big event like this.

Looking forward to this one. You may have one of the first major 6th edition events out there, and it'll be interesting to see how things shake out. I love the period in games where what is and isn't good is not fully understood, so people try out lots of crazy stuff, and that looks to be exactly what we'll get here.

We're now offering the Sixth Edition Core Rulebook for just $55.68 with the purchase of a Golden Throne Singles Ticket! That's 25% off the regular price for the book! If you're not in Northern California or don't feel like making the trip out to Stockton to pick up your book in-store, we'll ship it for just $7 (about half the actual shipping cost).

We want to make sure that the Golden Throne Grand Tournament is the best GT you've ever played in. We'll be posting articles breaking down the new rules on our website beginning June 30, and we've started a Facebook group for discussion of the event and to clear up any rules questions -- please join and invite your friends! We'll be publishing a Golden Throne 6E FAQ prior to the event as well in order to clear up any rules questions or murkiness and make the event run as smoothly as possible.

UPDATE: We will ONLY be offering the core rulebook for shipped orders. The Gamer's Edition and Collector's Edition are both low-margin items for us and we would be selling them at a loss if we shipped them.

Well, decided this event is not worth using my PTO on, not gonna waste my time going to this event. There's just too many new things I have going on right now to learn a 200+ page book on rules in a month and working full time and painting my army to a high quality level. Due to the fact that you changed it to 6th after I payed with no refunds allowed is just too much of a headache so Im going to just let that go since thats only 3 hours pay.

$50 wasted, lesson learned: always pay last minute, cause anything can happen, like my 2 co-workers who were supposed to cover my shift: 1 quit, the otehr one fired for being an idiot. Frontline Games this weekend is going to be my last tournament until the BAO.. Best of luck to all who can attend, really wanted to go to this.
