Keep in mind the last tournament at Legions drew 29 people and had over $500 in prize support given away by the time it was done. A good time was had by all and space is not a problem. We can easily fit in an additional 10-15 people in the store for gaming so don't hesitate to come out and enjoy.

Definitely interested in this.

Someone had asked about the new Tau suits XV-9's etc, they are a go if you want to use them.

We've had several questions about the upcoming tournament so let me address a few things so everyone else can know what our responses were:
Forge World
1) Special Characters form Imperial Armor 8, 9, & 10 are all usable. If you want to use something else with Forge World rules we are open to it with a few restrictions.
2) Let us know what you would like to use a head of time and we'll let you know if it's acceptable. You can reach Snake Eyes Gaming through this thread, any of our Dakka accounts, or our web site http://snakeyesgaming.blogspot.com/.
3) No Gargantuan Creatures or Super Heavy Vehicles.
4) You must bring the rules yourself along with 4 additional copies (1 for the judges and 1 for each opponent).
5) Please ask in advance! We don't want anyone to be counting on using a model and show up only to find out that they can't.

Conversion vs. Proxy
1) We've had people asking if they can use their converted this or that. Conversions are an important part of the game and we fully endorse them.
2) If GW does not make a model for it (Mycetic Spores for example) then players are forced to convert them, make them, or buy them from whatever they can. We understand thatand simply make sure that your opponent is aware that you have converted a Mycetic Spore.
3) If you have any questions please ask!

We aren't interested in limiting what anyone can and can't bring. We've had numerous questions from people who wanted to make sure that their armies were legal for our event. We were able to tell every one of those individuals that what they wanted to bring was fine. This post was written just in case there were others out there that wanted to come but weren't sure what was and wasn't allowed.
If you have any questions we can also be reached at: astro-telepathica@atlanticbb.net.

Sorry to bump this again but I've had a couple of questions about Greyt Knights and I wanted to address them.

Grey Knights
1) The Daemonhunters Codex will be the only legal Grey Knight Codex for this tournament.
2) I know several of the local gaming stores have had advance copies of the Grey Knights Codex, but since the release date is not until April and since other players have not got to review the codex - the Grey Knight Codex is not legal for this event.
3) As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Question. If I had like an Assault Squad that had removed jump packs, but as the models I used were a Tactical Squad, and had the Bolters instead of Bolt Pistols and Chainswords would that be allowed. If I also let my opponent know before each game.

Thanks for the question.
The short answer is no you can't proxy Tactical Marines for Assault Marines without Jump Packs since they have different wargear. We do have extra Marines with Bolt Pistols and Chainswords however and would be glad to let you use them for the event. None of us want you to be unable to make the Tournament over something as small as needing one more squad.
Several more questions have been answered at: http://snakeyesgaming.blogspot.com/2011/03/be-waaagh-ides-of-march.html.

And the results and pictures are up. The Fenresian drinking club has gone over the results and surveys.
