Just wanted to give everyone some heads up about the Slaughter in Space. 2000 points.

It will be Memorial Day weekend and will be held at Strategicon.
May 28th and 29th

The Event will take place at the Gamex 2011, located here:
Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel
6161 West Century Boulevard
Los Angeles, California 90045

5 games over 2 Days. Smae scoring as we have done in the past 100 Battle, 40 paint, 30 Sportmanship, and 30 Comp. Judges comp is used for only the first 2 rounds of pairing. Judges comp has not other bearing on final scores.

I will be working to try not get get us all crammed in thaupstairs room. I will have more details soon as to where we will be placed.

More info and rules can be found at www.slaughterinspace.com

Hope to see a good representation from all.

This is the only thing I'm waiting to hear, as there are horror stories about the BSB and that tiny cubbyhole.

Signed up. Looking forward to it.

Well it looks like we are going to be upstairs. We do have some of the other rooms up there as well depending on how many people show up. When we setup I can promiss you I will keep things spread out so things aren't as cramped. That does mean that some of the games might be taking place out side of the main room. We just dont have the number yet to displace the downstairs minature area maybe next year.

Hope to see a good representation from the Dakka folks.

I'm curious - how are sign-ups going?

I'm still waiting on final clearance from the wife, but I'll likely make it down again.

Signup are a little slower than I would like. I have over twenty that have paided. A bunch more have given me a verbal comiment but until they sign up I am not counting anyone.

You can blame me. :(

I stole Hulksmash to the Midwest and I can't fly to Cali this year.

Please put the location and date in the title when you post tournaments.

Italiaplaya and White925 are buying tickets this weekend, and I just got mine.

Just paid for my ticket.

Really wanted to go this year, but I can't. Suck...wanted my shot at the last place award.

I was wondering how I could contact someone with the group putting on the event as I have a few questions about the event.

You can also PM me. I check this board daily. Though Scott is our 40k guy, I can answer most of the basic questions.

I just bought my ticket! MANZ are almost fully painted too!

I have to finish converting my Parasite, and then get some paint on him (and his ripper swarm buddies).

Don't forget - lists are due in on May 14, unless you want to be paired against the nastiest-comped lists for the first couple rounds.

The rules packet is online, but the link from the SiS webpage seems broken.

Where do we give our lists to?

Rules packet, p. 3 wrote:Submitting your army list
All army lists must be submitted to the Slaughter Staff at least two(2) weeks prior to the event. Army lists can be sent to us at SIS@SCGWL.com.

Well, ya'll know i'll be there! My gaming group (NorCal Crusaders) is running the Apocalypse Events that weekend, while I collect some skullz for my dark master!

Oh, and I'm aiming for a ZERO Comp score this year! Figure i've gotten the lowest comp there 2 years in a row, might as well make it a 3rd!

Honestly, I didn't think your list last year was deserving of the comp score they gave it. It could have been much nastier, just by including some non-Khornate units.

Just finished my display board for meganobz! Cant to show it off!! It's awesome.

Yeah I got the link fixed. My server auto update seemed to break more than it fixed. It isn't even a microsoft server. I would shot the tech priest but that would be me.

Rules lik is working agina. It also has the latest rules we cleaned up grammar and tried to have deployments and victory conditions as clear as possible. Any questions/comments please email me sis@scglw.com or commissioner@scgwl.com. I try to check every day but life happens.

Why thank you Janthikin! I'm used to everyone hating my list, so I just laugh now.

blasto0341 it was great having you attend out 3,000 pt RTT at the LA Battle Bunker this past weekend, congratz again on the Best Sportsmanship award! I very much look forward to seeing your finished project of Orks and hopefully getting our scrap on!

Hahaha Thanks! I am almost finished with everything. My vision past about a foot is all blurry from the hours painting today lol.

Cank someone post a link to the painting checklist? I ahve yet to find it on the website. =D

1st up: Combat squads: I assume if you take a 300+ point Elite unit (3KPs) and Combat Squad them into 2 150 point units each sub-unit is now 2KPs each (4 total if you wipe the whole FOC).

Display boards: Do they add points into the Painting score or is the score based on just the models themselves?

Hotel: Is there a room rate for the event or is this covered under the Strategicon event as a whole?

Its the same one we have used since the beginning. Its Matt Lew's GW checklist with a couple minor alterations to lower emphasis on the display board.

ps- As I understand it on your questions:

1) You are correct. In that scenario, a combat squadded BA Tac unit with a LR dedicated Transport would be worth 1 KP per combat squad, then 2 for the transport, for a potential total 4 KP if you broom them all.

2) The most you can get from a display board is 3 (See Rubric) but its hard to score that. Having anything better than a cardboard box will get you at least one point.

3) This is covered by Strategicon (strategicon.net for details), as we are simply an event being hosted by the Strategicon.

PPS- Also on the topic of reroll tokens, since someone PMed me about them. We hand out reroll tokens at our events. Typical ways people obtain them are prepaid entry or comming in dead last at a prior event. The tokens can be used once per game at the event and only to reroll a single die at some point during a game turn. This cannot be used for things like random game length, first turn, or sieze initiative. They can be used for things like a run roll, one die of a LD test, a saving throw, or a scatter die. To use them, simply call over a judge (most likely Scott Tiveron or myself) and hand in the token prior to making the roll.

ppps- Reroll tokens not used at the event may be saved for future SCGWL events, if you wish. They may not be traded to other players.

When did you make it that the re-roll tokens can't be used for the random game length roll? is this new?

All signed up and ready to go.
Got to remember to keep the 4 year old away from the paints this time.
