Casual Player we have planned events for you as well!! Saturday and Sunday will feature an original casual play event based at the Castle of the Keys. Each day will feature a complete run through of the Castle of the Keys Event, with its own prize support.

To assist you in finding games in Iron Arena, we will have a Looking For Game Table, near the PG table, for you to sign up and hangout while you wait for an opponent. We hope this change will help improve our Iron Arena and make it more fun for the players while they wait for a game.

We are asking that if you plan on playing in any of the main events at Kingdom Con that you pre-register for the event, so we have an accurate headcount. This helps us make sure everyone attending has an awesome time.

If you are planning on joining us in April, please pre-register for the events you want to play in here: http://www.kingdom-con.com/events/pp.

We have a certain number of seats allocated for the main tournaments and preference will go to the people who have pre-registered, the rest we will sit on a first come first serve basis.

See you in San Diego.

Not really sure if this is for the 40k tournament that is going to be held or if it is for the convention in general (due to no mention of the 40k singles tournament in your original post)

Anyhow, I was hoping for some clarification on what is stated on the Broadside Bash website... it mentions that only one force organization chart may be taken at this particular event even though the point level is 2000 points.

Does this mean that we may not take allies as well?
Are players able to use fortifications?
Are players able to take any fortification? Such as the Fortress of Redemption.

Just curious since the tournament is deviating just a bit from the rulebook. Just want to know how to start building this list.

The Broadside Bash is going to be at Kingdom Con, I think this is the post for Warmachine.

I would check out the BB website for questions since I do not think that they come here.

Thanks Blackmooor.

I understand that the Broadside Bash will be at Kingdom Con. I did check the website out and there is very little info on it about army composition with the exception of the "single force organisation chart" for the 2000 point limit. I don't see a forum for me to post or ask a question there.

Has anyone else received any more information on the 40k event? Or have an idea when a player packet will officially be released?

The missions are already up so I would assume that there is some idea of what the army composition must be.

Coop Nasty, we're coming down for the BSB! So far for sure Frankie and I, maybe Raw Dogger, Alan B. (Pajama Pants), and Keno, we're working on more.

You going, buddy?

I have to defend my title... and its 15 min away. So yes. Hopefully doug brings big boy pants this time...

Coop, you are going to shed tears when I take your title from you, buddy! Prepare to have dat ass whipped! Muahaha!

And yes, I vote that Jouglas puts his big boy pants on as well, and brings his A game. Old Boy's starting to show his age! hahaha

After all this gak talking, if either of you guys whip me, I am going to look really stupid! I am honestly just excited to actually play in a tournament as opposed to running one for change. Frankie and I already started practicing. His list is MEAN. I barely beat his Chaos with my Nids in our first practice game, one more turn and he would have had me. I think most folks are going to get stomped by his Chaos.

What are you playing, Coop?

Drop pods with an aegis defense line and as many saber platforms that I can take... I hate fliers and Frankie will too when I kill all of his damn heldrakes. I will not let them screw me over again!

Yeah, Heldrakes are stupid good! In our game I never even touched one of them. I just gak Gants all over the table to control where he could go.

For a Marine player they are just hell on wings. They are so crazy powerful.

Look at the Hyperios too, they are excellent AA and don't require allies. Very resilient, too.

Do I need to buy tickets for kingdom con and broadside bash to go to broadside? Anyone know how many tickets are left and how quick it sells out?

You need to buy a ticket for Kingdom-Con.

Can anyone else verify this? Im a bit confused as the BSB webiste says $65 for the 40k tournament and the KC website says $45 for the Con.

When you buy your Broadside Bash ticket, that includes a ticket to Kingdom Con. You do not need to buy a separate Kingdom Con pass.

We have no specific composition requirements. You will be judged by your peers so structure your army accordingly. See our Scoring page for some of our guidelines.

The Broadside Bash website comprises the "player pack", we dont issue on separately.

If you want to ask questions, we have a Google Group, as well as the Facebook page. Both are linked to the home page on the website.

Is there a way to see how many people are signed up at this point? and how many spots are left?

Only 2 spots left I think, which means 50 signed up.

Prepare to lose your title, Cooper! The bugs are coming for ya! Muahahaha!!!!

40k is all filled up. A few spots left available for WFB.

Lists are due March 31st. 2 bonus points to your overall score for turning in a list ontime.

We have 52 on the list for 40k, and around 30ish for WFB.
