The rate should not be higher than a regular rate for the exact same room. Can you PM me with the deets so I can make sure everything is square. Heck, signed a contract giving us lower rates

Honersstodnt ... possible, but the hotel may sell out (a couple things going on this particular weekend), and I can't lock in the group rates past a certain point.

Any update on the Tourny FAQ?

Working on it. Still actively participating in what is now a 24 hour workday, hence delaying plans to polish the rest of it off today/tonight. I don't know what today/tonight is anymore, actually.

So, with any luck, the tourney FAQ will see the light of day tonight ... or tomorrow. Whichever day tomorrow contextually is at the moment.

Mike a question for you concerning Space Wolves. A few different things have been circulation around my local area so I definitly would like to get a ruling from you on this issue.

Question: With Wargear Wolf Tooth Necklace it is stated that basically anything with a WS will be hit on a 3+ regardless of weapon skill value in close combat. Now here locally this has been ruled to effect Melta Bomb placements as well. When placing a melta bomb on a vehicle standard rules apply because no WS is present. The question comes when fighting a Dreadnaught. Because Dreadnaughts have a WS this would mean that placing a Melta Bomb on the dreadnaught would be on a 3 instead of a 6 like normal. How will this be viewed for the Nova?

Hey Mike, I also think you should include in the FAQ (if its not done) the whole bit about how marines and IG LOST allies from DH. Which mainly affects IG, because it means no more psy hoods or mystics in IG lists.

Well I'm signed up. Just have to finalize my list and finish up some models. See you all there.

Couple of spots opened up due to waitlistees not confirming once we opened it.

So, a couple more spots left.


Mafty - based upon e-mail from the overall circuit organizer, allies are still a go.

Grimwulfe - will be in FAQ, which comes out hopefully in a day or two ... polishing it off took more time than desired ... it will also be a living doc, so immediate input from anyone who reads it is more than welcome

Seriously bro, I can't wait for that FAQ, I'ma chew it up and send you and equal-to-if-not-greater-then document of questions I'm sure I will have afterwards.

I'm counting on it

1, 2, 3...

People who are (OR AREN'T) in the DC area, who would like to help staff the NOVA Open or any of its various nights, please feel free to drop me a PM or e-mail.

We'll take all the help we can get, and need help in a variety of departments. A little goodie bag and probably a shirt are about all I can offer as payment, plus of course good times and a front row seat to a great, packed GT!

PM Sent!

Two spots held for NOVA Open are not being "confirmed" by those for whom they are reserved.

I'm opening the spots up tomorrow at close of business. Please PM or E-Mail me if you'd like a shot at them when they release.

- Mike

When is the 40k FAQ going to be publicly released?

G

By tomorrow; check your inboxes, "big 40k tourney e-mail #2" sent out earlier today.

- Mike

Awesome bro !! You are doing a dynamite job so far.

: )

G

We have, ahem,

One spot OPEN for the OPEN

Our last wait listee holding a spot had something come up, so ... sign up while it lasts, as I don't expect it will.

FAQ Beta ...

http://whiskey40k.blogspot.com/2010/07/nova-faq-beta-v1.html

Please note, comments here will not be addressed; concerns / cohesive arguments? Send them to me via pm / e-mail

I anticipate a lot of reply, these are rules questions after all ... you all should anticipate the usual responsiveness / adjustment on my part as required. Also, we'll have a "pretty" and polished version out a few weeks before the tourney.

It looks pretty good, left ya a few pms on gchat with some quirky things i saw, but pretty solid so far.

There will be many questions coming soon!

Be ready!

Looks good to me. Nothing game changing.

Mike: One spot open for 96 or for 80?

Just curious to see how big this is getting.

Ghazghkull and the Pink Waaaugh! will be there; I need to know how many stumpied I gotta beat down, eat, feed to my squigs, and take trophies from...

woah.....when did the pink wagh get a professional paint job?

They didn't.....just a single model did.

Centerpiece.

Centerpiece.

I can't wait to blow it up!

It is AV14 with 6 structure points and 5 void shields with a 2++ cover save. Also, shooting it may result in your dice melting. Try if you dare.

I just...I don't even...how do...what...I...Wow. Just. Wow.

My dice are thousand sons dice, they are AP3 and have 4+ invulsaves and can turn trukks into Spawn; saves, structure points, and Void shields (which I am going to assume you meant power fields) are ineffective (as are Spidey-webs, portals, and harry-potters)

Except of course, that the allies rules are still in place............................. Just gotta have the codex.

can I bring a tent, and sleep in the parking lot?

I drive a pickup... could I just sleep in the bed, under the stars? do I *need* to pay for a room, or can I just go "au naturale" for the weekend?
