I will need to build a new list. Maybe 11 Drop Pods at 2k?

Any official word yet? I have a few models to buy and paint before this event if it's going to be played at 2k. The silver,red,white, and black marines of doom may even be using the BA codex this time around

I pulled 3 BA DP lists at LVO, (if beer soaked memory serves correctly) and it was the addition of the all melta-pistol wielding unit that seemed to recur that gave my Serpents a lot of problems. And, if not horn-swoggled, the BAs have the option of having 2 meltas in regular units too, not just sarge's combi?

Either way, John, nice to see that you're like everyone else, running to the internet for inspiration.

I'm pretty sure this one will be 1850 but using the missions from Broadside along with the "Royal Flush" aspect. Travis just needs to post it on the Facebook page

I don't need the internet for inspiration, I provide the internet with inspiration I invented the internet, and my lists will forever be used to vanquish man bear pigs for all coming time.

Seriously though I don't need the internet to tell me that meltaguns, drop pods, and the new BA codex are good.

Hey guys I just heard that after the LVO the meta has shifted!

Meltaguns, drop pods, and the new BA codex are good!!!


Also I might have a gargantuan Squiggoth on the way to my house cause I couldn't find a better way to blow 525pts. Hopefully it's hear in time for March.

Changed the header but the points and format haven't been locked down. In any case it will be an ITC event as will every tournament this year

So are we using the ITC FAQ or the GW FAQ because they contradict each other with regards to IC's and infiltrate...

Armies I play:
-5000 pts
-2500 pts
Mechanicus -1850 pts

GW FAQ supersedes ITC, I would think. I know Frontline was enforcing the new GW FAQ at LVO at least.

Generally speaking the store has taken the stance the GW FAQs take precedence over all others. I can't think of any time Travis came down on the opposite side of a GW FAQ or took an independent FAQ answer over an official GW one.

Even the ITC FAQ defers to GW first. So its the order of operation is:
1. Main Rule Book
2. GW FAQs and Erratas
3. ITC FAQ
4. Judge's Discretion

Although the ITC FAQ is only in effect when we are practicing specifically for a certain event.

An hour before the tourney and no trash talk.

What? Am I to assume the there's a "loving spirit of Eire" suppressing competitive sabre rattling? Is everybody already a few suds in and feeling all brotherly?

...

Oh, I suppose friendly drunks are a good thing.

As said in the wrap up, it was nice to see old faces, and a few new. Great turn out. 18 or 20 players.

Best overall - Allan Blackmoor's eldar
Best Imperial- Johnny's SoB & IG
Best Xeno - Tom's tau
Best paint - MikeFox
Best Sportsman -Danny R.

Pix shortly.

The plan is every month will be an ITC event. Next month is 2000points using the Broadside Bash rules. That includes using the playing cards

Also there is no way I'm currently looting two flyrants so I can run the Bully Boys and a Hive Fleet Leviathan cheese combo. I would never stoop to that level of wanting to win...

Who would have the gall to use a Tyranofex as a battlewagon.


I know that the BSB doesnt allow CtA allies, this is more for when we get back to practicing for the BAO. Fight cheddar with sharper cheddar and look good doing it.

It may be a moot point if they decide to ban CtA for BAO/LVO
