I wish I could make it up for this...too bad i am 7 hours away. But to anyone thinking of going, it is a great store ran by a phenomenal owner who loves the hobby and runs amazing tournaments. Not to mention the prize support is fantastic.
Sadly Alex fennel ruins all the fun.

**ArmorOfContempt**

I won't be able to attend, I'm afraid, but just chiming in to say you run a great store.

**The Everliving**

The store is really good, but i don't run the store. I just play there (and ruin everyone's fun, apparently

)

**Danny Internets**

I haven't played 40k in forever (2 games since October) but I want to try and make this event. I just hope I can get my Grey Knights all painted up!

**aleck**

I'm coming, haven't played since 3rd edition/when I was 15 (I think?) but I just finished up my Tau army and i'm beyond excited to play. I'm also going to be there the Friday before (feb 3rd) if anyone wants to play a 1850 point game before the tournament.

This is my first tournament so if I should know anything about what to bring/expect lemme know

Not everything in that article is mandatory, but there's a lot of good advice in there.

thanks a ton, didn't think to print out more than one army list.

Ill be there. The store is great, and so is the owner.

From the website.

In an effort to energize WARHAMMER 40K players and bring in those players too far away to visit us on a more regular basis TBS has organized a 2-part event themed to prepare players for AdeptiCon.

AdeptiCon 2012 is a well-known ‘con’ featuring a parade of events and a bounty of contests peppered with attractions and vendor tables. This year it is being held on April 19th-22nd in Lombard, IL. Information on the con itself can be found by visiting adepticon.org however this post’s focus will be on our event in Manchester CT.

Rules for this 2-part WARHAMMER 40K event can be found below and also within our event calendar (see Events, top menu). For those new to our website, you may also see all upcoming activities in the menu to the right and all upcoming Tournaments and Competitions in the Exclusive Events section just below that.

On to the event! Part 1 will be hosted this Saturday February 11th. The rules are as follows:

5th Edition Rules
1850 Points
3 Rounds
As always prizes will be awarded accordingly and painted armies are always a bonus though there are no official restrictions.

Part 2 of the WARHAMMER 40K AdeptiCon Practice Event will run on Saturday April 7th. Rules will mimic the 1st part listed above. We expect a large turnout for both this Saturday and April 7th and as most players will be returning to the 2nd event from having played in the 1st, we recommend you get in ASAP. Event entry cost is as posted at $15.00. Please don’t wait until the last minute! We are a fairly large location but even we have our size restrictions.

Is the impending snow going to effect this at all?

**labmouse42**

I just talked to the store owner and event corrodinator, and the event is still on

Edit : After looking at the news, there is 3" of snow forcasted for the the 11th. As someone from Georgia, USA, I think that that's enough to cause the city to shutdown and declare a disaster.
My New-England born wife, however, has assured me that this is not the case and I should not worry about attending the tournament.
