Gentlemen we will be doing a 3 round tourney , using ITC missions and faq's. However there will be a few tweaks...

No super heavies of any kind
No formations of any kind (decurion glad it's etc. etc.)
No fortifications of any kind
D weapons are always a minus 1 to wound
Any 2 up is a 4 up with the re-roll
We defer to ITC for any other rules inquiries
forgeworld lists and units allowed

Highlander style Format

ALL ARMIES COME FROM A SINGLE SOURCE:

NO DUPLICATE UNITS , BARRING TROOPS

TROOPS CAN BE DUPLICATED AFTER YOU HAVE ALREADY FILLED ONE OF EVERY TROOP TYPE

NO MORE THAN TWO OF THE SAME DEDICATED TRANSPORT

YOU CAN FILL UP YOUR FORCE ORGANZTION OPTIONS - I.E. - I want to take my 2 wolves with my lord. Or I want to take my 3 priests for my AM. Or if you want two Talos in a heavy support slot for DE.

1850 points.

SAMPLE LIST

Tyranids:

Hq - Flyrant (can only have 1...)
- Tyranid prime (don`t see them everyday

Elite : Hive guard
: Malanthrope
: lictor brood

Fast attack
: Dimacheron
: Hive Crone
: Gargoyles

troops

Heavy

1 tyranocyte

See how this changes the game , units you would not normally see. Tyranid prime is perfect example.
Fully painted army receive 2 pts per round.

The nerfs are to keep the tournament friendly and give everyone a chance. It's no fun to show up and get steamrolled by broken cheese and poor game mechanics . Our events are always well reviewed with a lot of fun had by all.

Pre reg is 09:30 with first die at 10
Registration is $ 20.00 , ten of which you get back in a gift certificate .
The only way to gaurantee a spot is to pre pay at the store and PM me here. Last years June event was a sellout with a wait list.

Steve the "final word" will be judging .

Thanks and hope to see everyone there!!

Is the tournament 1850?

You're in Lou!

You really should lower the game size. 1850 is rough for horde armies who already suffer a lot in this edition.

I know it's tough , ITC voted to keep it. Hopefully we get the games off in a timely fashion. Hey Will you coming?

We will see. A bit far from me. Also I haven't played 40k since the last one.

Sign me up for this one! I should be able to make it.
Cameron

Ok , Cam good to have you. Always great to have guys from other clubs come down! I texted Nick and Amir too.

Guys Malaur messaged me about using the new space marine supplement. I said yes , but now after reading seems kind of broken . Any thoughts?

Going to have to back out as I'm moving now.

No problem , get you next Time!

I heard two of the powers can be over powered, haven't got my book yet to actually read the rules let alone play test them. We can possibly nerf them like invisibility-was nerfed liked last time? Also I saw no super heavies how about gargantuan creatures?

Not having access to a librarian conclave mitigates most of the issues. You can't guarantee too many powers (really only 1 or 2, and it can still fail) and you can't cast on a 2+ or a 3+. I don't think it's too much of an issue in this format.

Luke , we will go by your advice and allow it. Lou , no GMC either. There was an article on Fromtline with one of their guys proposing a tournament with almost exact same format I proposed.

Hey are we gonna using any of the new flyer rules?

No not for this one Lou. Not enough time.

Ok cool thanks!

Hey are we using the new FAQ's? There are some big changes in there!

Are they official yet? I thought this was just the first draft of the answers they released.

Guys , I'll check with Steve and let you know.

Guys , Steve asked if he could use Harlequins. However they are a formation. If someone wants to run Harlequins , Scions or Any of those type armies it's fine. Only you won't get the formation bonus and they count as 1 of your 2 sources and must be battle,brothers with your main army. Yes if you wanted to run 2 separate Harlequin you can but tha wouldt be your two sources.

Reason for this change is not to exclude the guys who have Harlequins and the like. We've run formations before without the bonuses and it has worked fine.

I've been reading the articles at frontline . It seems even those guys are starting to tire of the power creep in the game right now. It is a rush to the most broken combo in lieu of tactics and strategy. This format is deseigned to level the playing field and reward painted armies in addition to a little fluff.

For the record I have any and everything 40K and can run anything out there. I just don't like the way the meta has evolved , so these events are toned down to give everyone a chance to participate and have fun.

Now ..... What is everyone bringing ???? I'm debating my AM , but it's a lot to carry. May bring the Hive Fleet.....

I might bring Khorne Deamonkin but I'm very interested in bringing a Mad Max Ork Speed Freak list jut for fun.

Right now I'm debating between either my Salamanders or my White Scars. I don't have enough Daemons built/painted yet to make a valid 1850 list (Outside of the Infernal Tetrad) and I don't have a carrying case for my Orks.

I have a friend who may join in and he's bringing some Mech Guard.

I haven't run my mech guard in a long time. Really want to but it's a LOT to carry. Hey Lou I remember our battle at the old dark tower! Fun stuff! Vultures , Vendettas , punishers oh my ....

That was a great game! It went to the last round! I wish all games could be like that, the meta has change so much since then. I will probably run my Orks just got o paint a couple more guys. I know Orks are not a top tier list but I want to run something other then Marines.

I was thinking of running mine. Just soo much to lug around. Last tourney took me an hour just to load terrain for the event. Hive fleet Nidzilla is easy to carry. I love the flying circus with mawlocs and the dimacheron for CC.

I'm going back and forth. Maybe Nids, maybe Daemons....maybe space marines

We have to get together a day before the tournament ! Practice the lists....
