Greetings everyone, Magilla Gurilla here hoping to get the word out about an RTT at my FLGS. We had an okay turnout last time, which would have been better if my horde of children hadn’t gotten the stomach flu and I hadn’t had to pull out. However, we are hoping to get an even better turnout this time.

The store has room for 20 people (maybe more – the new location is pretty big, with private rooms even). Anyways, here is the information. Hope to see you there.

Warhammer 40,000 RTT

Location: Adventure’s Guild of Riverside
7000 Indiana Ave. Suite 114
Riverside, CA 92506
Date: September 18th
Start Time: 1000
Fee: $10 dollars or purchase $20 dollars in GW product from the store.
Points: 2000 points

3 Round Swiss Style Tournament

Hope to see you there.

I'll be there... any word from Senobio if we are going to do teams tourney on this one

This tournament is not a team tournament.

They are working on getting the Team Tournament up for the month of November.

I'll be there "Bringin' The Pain!!" Better bring your A-Game!!!

I think i will try to make this one also. Is Zankuro running the RTT, he is so hot!

wat

There! I am so there!

I was going to drive to Santa Monica on the 18th for a tourney, but this is waaaaay better.

Are there painting requirements?

No painting requirements...

IIRC you get like 1 point per round for painted?

Actually, last one they didnt even do that, so not sure...

What? You disagree about Zankuros' hotness? Whatever.

The scoring will be a little different for this one.

Fully painted armies will get a one time bonus of 5 points.

The missions being used will be variants of the NOVA Open missions.

Nice. Can't wait!

Looks like we could be gearing up for quite the turnout. I saw about 10 names on the sign-up sheet over the weekend.
Hopefully we can get some more before the week is out!!!

See Y'all There!!!

I'll be there, and I didn't sign up. So expect another...

At least 2 to 3 others actually, I know a few friends will be there.

Gothgar you bringing the Orks or the Blood Angels? Please say Blood Angels!

When I was there on Tuesday the List was up to approximately 12 people. Looks like a good turnout!

Well, I was planning on bringing the Angels, buy it looks like there are a load of Marines players already....

So as of now, I am undecided.

I might bring a fun fluffy ork list (that can still beat arse)

Not the Orks! They are so easy to beat!

That should be fun, I know of several SM players, one IG player, a Necron player, and a few Chaos Players.

See you there!

Also, if there are 12 signed up I am expecting over 20 to show on Tourney day. I know of at least three people planning on going who havent signed up, also, when I was there the other day, about 2 other people said they were going to try to make it.

Should be a great showing in fact.

You rolling Chaos?

No, I sold the Chaos Army.

I will be fielding my Angels Encarmine. That is why I said you should take the Blood Angels. We gotta represent.

Yeah, with you then I am thinking there will be two Angels players, three if I do it too, lol

I guess there was some confusion about the start time. I just want to reiterate that the start time is 10:00 am

Results? Who won? How many players?

I believe 12 players.
Gothgar took second with his orks. His buddy took first with Tyranids. A Necron player took third.

However, it was very close. As it came down to painting and army composition to break battle points ties. Battle points were a tie between Gothgar and his buddy with the Tyranids. Third was a tie between the necron player and blood angels.

Sadly My dice Abandoned me and I got stomped on and ground into the mud by Gothgar! I then lost to his buddy's Tyranids on the third tie breaker!
Oh well, hopefully better luck for me next time.

Bugs took it, huh? Do you have a copy of lists by chance? I would love to see that winning Bug list.

And way to go Necrons! That is awesome that someone took third with them.

Yeah, your dice hated you... Also, my deffrollas were chomping your vehicles that game big time.

There was a 13th player there as well, but he didn't bust out his orks, so there wasn't an odd man out.

So the showing was okay. Good tournament though. We did that big tourney format from back east, and I have to say I was not too impressed with it. 1st and 2nd were tied, and 3rd and 4th were tied. I think after that almost everyone else was tied.

Maybe it works better for a 5 game tournament. Also, I did not like the exclusion of a kill points game.

The necrons guy actually did very well, beating a Space Wolves player with Logan(iirc?) and a strong Marines list with Vulcan.

Always fun to see a Necron player do well

It was the same guy at the GT who took second general behind you by 1 point.

He actually stomped my monkey ass into the ground.

I did the equivalent of "going for it on 4th and 2" and it didn't work out so his Destroyers just ravaged my vehicles and marines. I'm looking forward to a rematch!

I agree that I prefer Kill Points to Victory Points as far as 5th Edition is concerned. The newer Codexes really need KPs to discourage min-maxing IMHO. I also don't have the beef with ties that some do I guess.

One thing we did at my old LGS was have 3 Bonus Points available for every game. One for killing your opponent's highest point value HQ, one for killing your opponent's most expensive HQ, and one for having a scoring unit in your opponent's Deployment Zone. It made ties for Battle Points rather uncommon. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

@Gothgar
Thanks, I am pretty sure I remember his list. Congratz on second place! You've been on a tear.

@Monster Rain
Sounds like you enjoyed the tournament. You guys should for sure come to the Broadside Bach in Feb, that is the next big SoCal GT.

Broadside Bach... sounds like a classical music convention

Are they playing Bach and gak during the gaming?

That was a nice way of putting it!
To be honest, dice or not, you out gamed me.
I was hoping to immobilize or destroy one or two of the battle wagons with side shots and then move and scoot till I could get some more side shots on the others.
While it might have worked if I had actually hit you! and not rolled a bunch of It didn't and my being so close meant you could have your way with me. Live and learn. It was a great learning experience.

Agree. As the person who "sponsored" the idea, I think we need to have the incremental wins with various points for a three game tournament, otherwise to many ties.
As for the kill points, I believe next time we will be including a KP game objective; however, it will be the pick 5 of your opponents units version.

His dice were on the other hand were extremely hot; and it is great to see a Necron army do well.

Hot dice helps for sure.

As an Angels and an Orks player, Angels have trouble putting enough bodies on the table to keep up. When I can have lootas and wagons up the ying yang and still outnumber you like 5 to 1...
