No.

This was answered only a page or two ago.

For the next one, I'm bringing what are likely to be unpainted models, along with my fully painted ones.

Yep, sadly, I do. Usually, extra homework is assigned when this happens.

Christmas themed Daemon army heading your way guys!

1750 right? Any other requirements? As a hilarious side note, it's been so long since I played (outside our home campaign) that I have not faced Tau or Eldar... I expect a short day followed by heavy drinking.

I'll provide the "Face Eldar" part of your day ...

Now the "Followed by" part? *Followed* ... Huh?

Watch for me calling in my pizza around Game 1's, Turn 4 and then join me for a luxurious 45 minute lunch. You might manage a couple barley pops in that amount of time.

I issue a challenge to all:

Lucky Baldwins: 626-844-0447 . . . . Call in your lunch order and get your lunch ate in time and heiny back in time for Round Two.

Winter Break is upon us and I'd like to know if anyone is up for another couple rounds of that 200 point Kill Team gig? Not the new "book" release, but a replay of what we did on the 5th Saturday in Nov?

Maybe a weekday as next Saturday is a Warmachine tourney. The timer part is easily done. Any takers? How about this Friday?

No, at least not to my knowledge. Ill be assisting with the 4 larger/special events in the 2014 tournament series. I'll also be watching the thread here to answer any questions I can, promote the tournaments, and provide part of the feedback loop to make future events more to the liking of the tournament patrons.

So if anyone has some idea for the special events of 2014 let me know. There will be more 200 pt. Kill Team tournaments, another fluffy tournament, possibility of an 'Escalation' tournament with a modified D weapon profile. But Id like to hear what everyone liked from last year. And what we can improve upon.

First, I have to say the GE events are the best in tow.

Second, I would like to toss out some ideas, just suggestions really, soon.

I am really up for the Kill Team, I think it needs to be the official rules or a more written up set up rules here. The new rules have six scenarios and no psykers, which I think is a good thing. I would really like to see some themed tournaments. Like, leave your MC at home, epic heros may attend, better bring wheels, or flyers beware, storms are raging, stuff like that. I also like the idea of mini RTTs on weekday nights. I also think a GT would be great in May. I really think all events should require three color min and no proxies. I would even say "as modeled" should be enforced. We spend a lot on figs and walking in with whatever one has laying around is frustrating. I really find it hard to fight empty flying stands, which has happened to me.

I would like to see more terrain too, can we bring stuff in the night before to have more cool stuff? I can bring mine in if I know it will be put away after the event if I can't make it. Maybe we could make a terrain donation for our entrance fee, so I buy a 40k kit to get into a RTT, then build it out to return it for my next entrance fee. The store would get some good new stuff and we could enjoy the community effort.

I'm going to start a new thread with your suggestions Paul. This thread is old and I'm sure a good deal of people are tired of looking at it. If its ok with Travis this should be locked so the new one can start once we hash out some new ideas.
