I have the Warmchine stuff finalized and we should have it posted up shortly. The short gist is 50 point tournament Sat and a 35 point tournament Sunday.

Awesome, thanks, Menelker!

It is official, we are at half capacity for 40K and a large group is signing up for Fantasy which should take us to half full in the next few days!

If you want to be a part of the event, sign up soon!

Also, we just had an interview with the 11th Company Podcast! Keep an ear open to hear about our event and my notorious Footdar!

Hey Reecius,

I'd like to suggest you have a posted list of players who are signed up.

Just a thought.

Doc

That is an excellent idea and we are working on putting that together now.

I am trying to con my wife into taking a vacation up there for the week. I'll let you know soonish.

Where is the closest commercial airport?

Probably Oakland. (Bay Area native here...)

Here is the information for the Warmachine side of the tournament.

Pre-reg one day entry is $25, 2 day entry is $45. After pre-reg will be $28 and $50.
And if there is anything left late reg will be $30 and $55. Paypal fees will apply if you use it just like the other tickets.

Reece can you amend this into the first post? ^^^^ Thanks!

@Menelker
Done!

@thehod
Oakland is indeed the nearest, and we will shuttle people form the Bart station to the hotel. So if you fly in you will be good to go.

So is the hotel close enough to the fair grounds to walk, or...would people still need to rent a car to get back and forth? Confused?

Sorry, meant to say, "I'm confused."

Oh, and one other thing: Will Codex Witch Hunters be allowed? The Codex is still available from GW website (despite the Daemon Hunters impending release), which makes me think that it is still legal and all that good stuff.

You could walk although it is about 3/4 of a mile. A bit far with all your stuff.

I am sure with the amount of people staying there that we can organize car pools and get everyone to and from the hotel with no problems.

Witch Hunters will absolutely be allowed and encouraged! They are still brutally good when you make a good list with them.

Damon Hunters will also be allowed.

I got space for one other person + their models in my car. Cortez if you need a ride PM me, I live really close by so its not a hassle at all.

Space is going fast.

We are well over half full for 40K, if you want to get in on this, preregister soon to get your spot!

Cant wait now that Im pregistered. A system that only hurts you if your a complete douche and dont have to hire a master class to paint your army for a chance at first is how I think all tournies should be. Hope to see more events like this in the future!!!

That is exactly what we wanted to create, a system where people could come and play the game they know and love and compete in areas they are strongest in. We are glad you like what you are seeing so far!

Big announcement!

The Bay Area Open will be featured in not one, but two podcasts!

http://www.theprimegeneration.com/

They will be talking about our Warmachine and Hordes event!

http://www.tangtwo.com/11thcompany/

The 11th Company interviewed me about our event as well as my notorious Footdar that the internet loves so much!

Keep your ears open for these great podcasts and more information about our event!

Looks like I won't even be playing. Oh well, good luck! Maybe I'll see you guys day 2.

Haha, I don't think I can make this one. Wait...I am getting married in the evening....

Hahaha, you can get both in!

"Love me, love my hobby" ;-)

Actually when my wife and I got married on that day she won a decently prestigious local music industry award so we went over there for a while in wedding attire ;-)

My sentiments exactly.

Wait, what?

You're going to allow both the Grey Knights codex AND the Daemonhunter codex at the same event? That could be really confusing.

Why have you decided to continue to allow Daemonhunters after their replacement codex has been released?

Hahaha, Yakface, you are too literal, but that is a good thing as I am sure if you were confused, then others were too. So it is good to clear it up.

Grey Knights will be allowed (I didn't know the codex had changed names).

@Somnicide
Your new Avatar is disturbing. And I like it.

I had wondered about that, too, but was just going to ask you this weekend.

No, I am glad we cleared it up then, that would have been unfortunate if someone would have brought an old codex army thinking they could use it.

Would'nt a mistake like that be cuaght well before the tourny when they submit their army list?

Indeed it would!

Who would have even wanted to use the old daemon hunter codex, instead of the new grey knights one haha?

People who wanted to stick unlimited range psychic hoods and/or mystics in IG armies?

Depends. We haven't (or at least I haven't) seen the new GK codex. It might not be as good as the old Daemonhunters....who knows?

New doesn't equal better.

Ecspecially not with GW.

We just got the black box; it's pretty intense. Some numerical adjustments here and there, but otherwise everything is as it was in the leaked PDF. Lots of food for thought.

As far as I'm concerned, the Teleport Shunt move is going to shake things up a lot.

Back on topic, I've got myself and a couple interested in coming but we're still sorting out schedules and logistics...

Reece, if I pre-reg myself and them boys, how much time do I have to adjust/modify things before I have to go final?

-Dis.
