you just pay me at the event. (you need to buy a convention badge from the connecticon website, but the $10 entry fee just goes to me on site.). As for how many people I think I have around 20ish at the moment but most have signed up in the last week.

What will the terrain be like? Las Vegas Open style lots of LOS blockers and stuff to take cover in or billiard-table like with maybe 5 pieces per board?

(Happy to play on either but it will dictate whether I bring an army that makes use of terrain to have a fun game or if I bring something that couldn't care less if there is terrain on the board)

Alex, Im helping out Brendan with terrain from The BFS so it should be pretty much the same as what we have. 7-9 per board.

Thanks Ed.

Okay, I was planning on bringing a skyshield. With fixed terrain will it at least always be placeable or will there be situations where I have to leave it off the table?

No you should always have space to place a sky shield

So are these the set rules or are thing still in flux?

The rules are now set as per the first post. Working on an FAQ but army creation is done 2 detachments max of any kind, no FW no lords of war.

If we have specific questions should we post them here or e-mail you?

Email will likely get a bit faster response, but you can post them here. Especially rules questions as others might have the same issue.

Does Psychic Shriek require a to to hit roll?

Only real one I am concerned about at present for army comp reasons

As it is a witch fire power that is not a type specified not to need a to hit roll, it requires a roll to hit.

Will the scenarios be modified at all for 7th ed or just using the straight 6th ed scenarios?

Do objective markers have an infinite height, or do we have to factor in vertical distance?

We will use vertical distance. It'll be 6" vertically like coherancy. With ruin levels no longer being a thing, I don't think infinite height needs to be a thing any longer, as any unit can climb up terrain.

Can we still register for the tourney?

Yes there is still space, convention preregistration ends, on July 5th so that is also still open.

There seems no benefit to pre-registering for the convention though, as the price is now the same whether we register now or turn up on the day.

Or am I missing something?

You get to make sure you don't need to wait in the day of registration line which is typically slower than the pre reg line. That said if you live near by or are coming Friday evening you can pick your badge up then.

I was planning on getting a badge Friday afternoon/evening after work.

I know you are the 40k TO, but do you know if there is any WHFB at this event? Living in Webster it isn't that long a drive at all and might be interested

There is not currently an when event, as I have not found anyone to run it yet and I don't play the game much myself (nor can I to 2 tournaments effectively). There are other minis events going on.

40k mega battle and team tourney, malifux and dark age demos, an event for a game called god slayer. 2 infinity tournaments, x-wing and kromaster events. But nothing much for whfb or warmahordes.

Then it is not an issue, but you live close. But you should still sign up with me for the gt

How are you ruling re-rolls and blast weapons

Also the power field generators (digital version says one thing but the new FAQ was never updated)? And the missions, are you still using the 6th ed missions or will they be updated for 7th?

Then it is not an issue, but you live close. But you should still sign up with me for the gt
