I'm a member of The 131 in Western Mass, 50+ members playing 40K and Fantasy. We'll be there.

I run the Events part of things for the club, please let me know if you need any help. We have some terrain, and we are working on a bunch more now. We also have a few stores around here, notably Off the Wall Games and Base Camp that you could contact to get some promotional help locally.

Funny you mention that as I did and the numbers I got off GW Base camp was the only one that worked.

Haha, I'm not surprised You should be able to get the number from Off the Walls website, they are open 10-10.

Count me in!

Alrighty thanks to you great volunteers a better website should be launched before the event. All help is appriciated.

I just wanted to put out their I am pushing back the sale of the tickets a to the end of Jan, since a better functioning website is inthe works atm. I will however be announcing our VIP on the 15th though as planned, as well as some of our sponsers.

Who all is planning on going for the WFB games?

Ok wanted to shoot you all a MAJOR update. I am happy to announce that a newer and better (professional) website is being worked on as we speak by a volunteer. Also I though I would announce the VIP for the event.

The Boston Brawl 2010 is proud to announce multi golden demon winner, and amazing sculptor Joe Orteza as our VIP. Joe will be there to answer your questions, help with the painting judging for the painting competition, and if we are lucky maybe throw down some dice.

I am estatic to announce that our New website will be going LIVEyes LIVE within 48 hours. I will post a link to it when this happens, but once it does the tickets will be going on sale for the event. With 60 spots for 40k and 40 spots for fantasy I think it will go fast people.

Can't wait!

I'll be signing up as soon as I can.

Joe Orteza - he'll be nice to chat up, I'm sure!

Does he still work for GW?

No joe was an art teacher for a number of years in the great cough cough state of IL (my home state). He left teaching though to raise his kids as his wife in a doctor and wanted to go back to work. All around funny dude who was extremely excited at the idea of a trip to boston.

Cool. I'm going to be signing up ASAP as well

@Alph - you planning on going 40k or WFB?

40K for me...

Truescale Alpha Legion baby!

Plus, it is the only army I could even have a hope of getting painted up in time!

Hrm - Can I paint up and Magnetize all my High Elves by then?....Dilemmas, dilemmas.

Great news about Orteza! Well done, Empchild. I'm starting to get pretty excited about this.

Makes two of us. I honestly can say it would not have been possible without the help of my website designer. He has been a HUGE and I mean HUGE help in all of this.

Let us now when the site is live - I want to make sure I reserve a spot!

Most definately.. on a side note one of my adepticon teammates dropped out today. SO anyone want to join a team?

I think its great there will be a GT in Boston! There is a pretty large 40k community here I think you'll get a lot more than 60 people trying to sign up. I applaud you for organizing it!

Now the bad news, the ard boys preliminary round is May 15th as well, http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=&categoryId=400002a§ion=community&aId=500011a

Really sucks we'll have to choose between the two, perhaps a coin flip....

Well, I wan't planning on doing 'Ard Boyz anyway...so I get to go to a great GT instead of sitting at home

That might be bad news, but...

I wasn't planning on any 'ard Boyz tournaments either.

Hopefully this will mean that everyone who wants to get into this tournament can, and maybe it will present a slightly (!) more relaxed atmosphere too?

I spoke with Ed spettigue(hope I got that right) and I was informed of this, though odd since I printed out the GW web page and compared dates but oo well. This year we will not be on the tourney maincircuit that is feeding into Vegas, BUT their is strong promise for 2011. Also the Boston Brawl is becomming and LLC, and as such I do plan on this being annual and have been chatting with a few people who are helping heavily this year about joining the "company". If you are interested let me know as I will be taking on 3-5 peple max for 2011.

Sounds like this is coming together pretty well, Empchild. I'll definitely be trying to attend.

Ahh, it's still gonna be great.

You've obviously never played me

Er, OK?

If you're joking, I look forward to playing you!

If you're not, I look forward to not playing you!

Hope so

Alpharius: I jest, I jest...

Empchild, few questions:

1) You said earlier in the thread that points for 40K would be 2000. Is this still the case?

2) Will the INAT FAQ be used?

3) If no (or in the unlikely event that it's not covered) how do Furious Charge and Counter Attack work for all us non-SW players?

4) Will there be comp scoring? If yes, will it be player-scored or judge-scored? If judge-scored, who will be scoring comp? How?

5) Will there be sportsmanship scoring? If yes, will it be player-scored or judge-scored? If judge-scored, who will be scoring sportsmanship? How?

6) Will painting scoring contribute to final placement or be a cool aside? If your army is painted by someone else, will you lose points out of your overall score or just be ineligible for best painted (obviously, you'll have to disclose this before paint judging anyway)?

7) How will initial pairings be decided?

I'm the guy to yell at, for website issues. You can PM me here.

PS: Scoring/judging is still being worked upon, but don't be surprised if it leans towards Adepticon-stylings. Pairings will probably be utterly random, first round.
