Not a WAAC tourney, but more geared for fun. 6 April. doors open at 10am. 1500 points w/ $10 entry fee. Allies and Fortifications allowed. Forge Worldmodels allowed to represent Codex units only. You can use the old or the new Demons codex.
This is at the Augusta Book Exchange 1650 Gordon Hwy Augusta, GA 30906 (706) 860-6553
The missions will be heavily book-based. We will use the random objectives but not the mysterious terrain. Fortifications are okay as are allies. Forge World models are okay to use as models listed in your normal 40K Codices. You may use either the older or the new Demons codex but must tell your opponent before the game starts. You can bring the beat face list or your fluffy army and still have a shot at winning something. The prize support will most likely be store credit. The idea is to run like a tournament, but not so competitive. I think I've gauged the local players are more of the fun first crush the enemy second kind of players.We will be using Battle Points for this event so a loss doesn't knock you out like the win-loss system does. You can score 30 battle points (10 per mission if you max out). You can also score points in composition, appearance and sportsmanship. The link below has more information.

I'll be there...no clue as to what I'll bring but it sure will be a blast!

Will probably be there along with some other Columbia folks.

Here's some of the info incase you couldn't go to the link in the first post.

6 April, 1500 points.
This event will have a scoring system that includes points for the whole hobbyist. (more to follow)
The ABE doors open at 10am on Saturdays. I will see about setting up the tables the night before after the Magic players are finished. If not then right at 10 we'll set up the tables. Either way I will start the sign ins at 10:30am. Pairings will be announced around 11:15 and the first turn starts at 11:30.

Entry is $10. You will need at least two copies of your list (one for me and one for you). If you want to bring extra for your opponents that's okay.
Max Players at this time is 16.

I'll definitely be planning to attend.

Shame I'm out of town. Otherwise I would come down from Aiken and play.

Please make sure you give the store a call if you haven't signed up on their forum. I have 3 slots left at this time.
