And the 256-man championships only have 23 spots left!

Yeah, I've been calling friends and poking them.

And all within 24 hours...

Quality over quantity. Is this tourney run by bunch of horde players?

So, Darth, are you bribing people to wear your face on shirts again this year?

I called Westin half an hour ago and was able to make reservations thurs- monday.

And now the Championships is sold out. 26 hours after registration opened.

I slipped right in....

Looks like I may be sitting out this year, but who knows

I cannot believe the 40k tourney(singles) sold out so fast...I am so bummed...I have already reserved a double queen room...so if anyone bought extra tickets or are looking to not go, after buying a ticket I would love to buy one from ya...i would be glad to let someone crash in my room for free for a 40k ticket(singles)...but if I cannot make something happen soon...I guess i will cancel my reservation at the Westin so someone else can get a room there...i thought I would have at least a couple of days to get a ticket...oh well...Pm me if you could help me out....thanks...

Get yourself on the wait list, Con's always have people pull out and no-shows the day of due to random circumstances (family crises, etc)

And besides that, go for all the other cool stuff!

Yeah, if you sign up for the wait list now I'd think you'd have a VERY good chance of getting into the main event (as you'd be at the very top of the list, right?).

I cannot say for certain, but I would not worry about the Championship people will drop just get on the wait list. I know people been added in the past, but I have to say the sign ups this time have been extra insanely fast.

Please for the love of everything holy if you are playing in the 40k championship pleasepleaseplease take the time before it begins to go to the free computer and printer and put your list into army builder. It will help me greatly checking the lists.

Get on the waitlist for sure. They are still pretty small. We always end up burning through a number of people as the date draws closer.

Couldn't agree more! I am sure we could almost double attendance pretty easily, but we know our limits.

Is there any chance of spots opening up? I went to register and it was already sold out. What a bummer.

^^^not sure how to delete that last post, but I just read the post ahead of me. They weren't showing up for some reason when I posted. :(

Very cool to see adepticon getting so insanely popular. I'm very looking forward to it.

Thanks for the kick in the pants folks...I was pretty bummed...BUT...I got on the waiting list as number 12 and have good hopes of making it in...I went on and bought my other events, I am so sure others will drop....c you kids there...safe travels...Widowsbane...

Yeah, with 256 registered, I would expect you'll get in. Does anyone know how many people on the wait list ended up playing last year in the 40k main event?

RiTides wrote:Yeah, with 256 registered, I would expect you'll get in. Does anyone know how many people on the wait list ended up playing last year in the 40k main event?

Apparently almost 40 people cancelled prior to the event, and another twelve failed to show on the day.

I'm in at 23rd on the Waiting List, so I've got my fingers crossed.

We didn't have a true 40 people drop, but we did work our way through 40ish people on the 2011 wait list. Not everyone we contacted took the wait list ticket. Towards the end, people that needed to travel just couldn't make travel plans with that short of a notice. Unfortunate.

Whew...glad I signed up early....

40K champs on Friday
Team Tourney on Sat (BNB is DUE this year!!!)
Glad on Sunday

Looking forward to hanging out with my bro's Sabote, Corwindal, and Gimli for the 4th year running for our team! (5th for the Gimli and I in the team).

Registered today, first time at any 'con for me.

Thursday: 40K tactics, because I sure need it.
Friday: Painting seminar in the morning, green stuff seminar late at night. 10 hours of goofing off time in the middle. Demos and maybe cheering on some of the Dakka Teams.
Saturday: 40K Combat Patrol in the afternoon, will try to get on the waiting list for the earlier one I think.
Sunday: 40K Kill Zone, maybe the mixer afterwards.

Saturday: 12 hours of Battletech
I suppose there's these other games not involving giant robots that people are playing, too.

Well I know one person on the 40k Singles is a happy camper. I decided since I usually do something new every year at adepticon too drop my 40k singles for FOW. It's kinda nice too know I made someone a happy camper.

I'm signed up for the 40k Team Tournament and the 40k Championships.

My team is hand-picked from across the country of three other guys who are my equal or better (and who didn't have their own team responsibilities). Since we expect everyone to play Grey Knights, we're bringing identical very wicked Anti-Grey Knight Tau armies of course.

And for the 40k Championship, I'm torn.....my DE are in their prime, my Orks scream for resurgence, and while my loyalty lies with Necrons, everything I've read about the new codex has left a bitter and burnt out ashy taste where my heart was. ****ing dead Space Wolves. Ohai! No Frost axes, have some gauss axes. No Thundershields, have some Phase Shields! And that traitorous imbecile nerfed my Monoliths, made my Wraiths I2.....I don't care that they have 2 wounds now, they were just fine with one. And I6. And other ridiculousness. My Necrons needed an update to make them current and cost-appropriate, not a rewrite, destruction of fluff, and pseudo-cloning.

Et tu, Dash?

I was on the wait list last your, #17, and got into the Championships so I wouldn't worry about it. Just get on the list!

Alas, I won't be making it this year.

And I love the new Necron codex, and I'm glad Matt Ward wrote it.

40k Championships
40k Team Tournament
40k Championships (I've got this!)

Same here (though I did buy a Gladiator Ticket for sunday just in case my dice betray me...)

I emailed the guy about being put on the waiting list for the early Saturday 40K Combat Patrol, got #1 on the list. I'm liking my chances .

Now I have to decide if I want to run the same list twice, or switch it up between the two games. As far as I understand I could even run two completely separate armies.

@ dash
though you are often my polar opposite when it comes to 40k, i feel as though we share similar feelings concerning matt ward. Though i would sacrafice a nursery full of baby seals and nuns to get the job done.
