Gwar gets my vote.

I won't judge a person based on YMDC - that way madness lies!

I'm not worried as long as Gwar promises that if something is clear cut against the spirit of the game (i.e., the Eldrad thing), he won't rule the slowed RAW way instead of RAI.

I agree - I'm only teasing...

It'll be fine...

Can someone PM what this Eldrad thing is? Im curious. Did a search couldn't find any post specific to it.

It's quite simple. Eldarad should not be allowed to use farseer psychic powers, because his unit name is not 'farseer' therefore he does not count as one.

OK, can we please stay on topic

As far as the running of the event goes, if people have specific questions/problems please PM me - don't start haranguing people on an open forum.

I have had a number of offers from people to help with various aspects and am grateful to all of them. Organising an event is frought at the best of times, please don't add to my woes by moaning. Ultimately, all judging will be fair, impartial and compatible with the spirit of the event.

This is not a Throne of Skulls tourney, this is a chance for a bunch of gamers who would otherwise not get a chance to play each other to get some games in the magnificent setting of Warhammer World. The tourney format is being used because it is by far the easiest way to ensure that everyone gets in plenty of games - and to act as a spur to ensure everyone brings the best looking and best equipped army they have.

The judges will do what judges do at every event - namely let you get on with the game. If you and your opponent have a disagreement you cannot resolve, ask a judge to clarify the situation. Examples like the 'Eldrad is not a Farseer' are clearly not issues you would ask a judge to rule on, because irrespective of the RAW, no-one is sufficiently anally retentive to pretend that Eldrad can't use his powers.

Ultimately, the day will be what you make it. If you ask the judge for a lot of rulings, don't then complain if you are on the receiving end of a lot of rulings.

I'd consider coming with my Zulus but ah well they aren't exactly GW models so whats the rules on that?

@Chimera_Calvin - But we can still get drunk though, yeah?

Albatross wrote:@Chimera_Calvin - But we can still get drunk though, yeah?

We'd better, or I most certainly won't be coming

In all likelihood I'll be bringing my Orks. And possibly my girlfriend.

She's much scarier than my Orks.

Drinking and Girlfriends FTW

Although this event is happy and friendly and would probably love to have Zulu guard, it's taking place at Warhammer World, which is basically like a GW store. I don't think they allow non-GW miniatures....

I would like to throw my 30yo Newbie hat into the ring!

It's been so long since I played, I might as well be!

Should be back in practice by then though hopefully!

*Edit* I'll be playing Chaos!

I would also like to bring my extremely rusty skills along. Just getting back into the swing of things.

Will be bringing my Tau.

I'm now umming and ahhing between Orks and Space Wolves... I loves meh puppies and have painted up a couple of models this week and loving the change from Green. I assume it's ok to decide nearer the time?

UPDATE 22/02/10

The first post has just been updated with the latest list of who's going and what armies they are taking.

Sorry torgoch can't make it (but many thanks for the interest - hope to see you at an event in the future)

There are now only 6 places left unless anyone else drops out, so please let me know ASAP if you want to come - remember its a 4-game, 1000pt tourney on the saturday with sunday available for free-play.

Also, 7 players have still not picked their armies, we currently have 4x Orks, 2x CSM, 2x Guard, 1x Marines, 1x Sisters and 1x Tau if that helps you to decide.

As always, if there are any questions/changes let me know.

See you all in august. C_C

I'm definitely coming; just need to see how many immolators i can fit into 1000pts now

I'm off to the Bloodbowl GT in a couple of months with a bunch of people from my local area; once we get our hotels sorted, I'll post up a bunch of links/info for everyone! If anyone wants to room share to keep costs down I'm up for it; I'm clean, pretty and always armed with tequila and cider.

You had me at clean

I mean cider.

Ok, but if you look like your avatar you'll be wearing the cider

I've just been wandering, is there any cost for this event? I'm assuming that CC isn't charging anything for running it (since he hasn't mentioned anything), but do Warhammer World charge anything?

Also, does it cost to go to the museum?

Sorry if this is obvious stuff to ask, but I can't seem to locate any details on the website.

I'll be bringing some vanilla Marines. (I need some practice with them!)

BishopGore - its free to get into Warhammer World and its free to see the miniatures gallery when you're there.

Bugman's Bar does sell a couple of souvenir guides (not really worth it IMHO but there you go).

You will need money to cover food/drink while you are there (I went the other day for an apocalypse game and between lunch and 3-4 drinks I spent about £15) Its a little on the pricey side but the food is brilliant. I heartily recommend the 'fat bloke'.

Yes it really is on the menu

Also, be aware that the shop is good (although they've cut back heavily on the amount of specialist games stuff in stock recently - another nail in that particular coffin) so you may want to bring extra for new toys. Of special note is the forgeworld stuff. They do have some that you can buy 'over the counter' and take away with you at the time. More importantly is that if you put in a forgeworld order over £10 at the shop, delivery is free, rather than having to spend £250 for free delivery from their website.

Hope this helps, see you there.

Awesome, just wanted to check there would be stuff to do for my gf. Thanks Calvin

Still not sure whether we'll stay in a hotel or drive back to Birmingham on Saturday night and return Sunday morning. I will hopefully be able to give you a lift covenant84 if you need it, and maybe someone else. Depends if any of my mates want to tag along.

No probs Bishop, Also bear in mind if your gf is coming along but doesn't join in there are comfy sofas in bugmans so she can sit with a good book, they do coffee and cake at the bar (the cakes are good but huge!) and there are board games in the bar too.

Also, there are always displays up in the gaming hall (artwork, 3-ups of minis, etc) and the minis hall is good for at least a 30min-1hour look round if you take a good look at everything. There is a big projector TV in Bugmans too but on saturdays its usually just on in the afternoon showing Gillette Soccer Saturday. Don't know if that's her cup of tea or not...

Oh noes the one week end I cant go !

Shewhoshallbeobeyed allowed me to cohabit many years ago on those hallowed days to I have to make my ritual treck to the lands of sand to repent my yearly sins

Bah humbug . Record it , takes loads of pictures or I will send the 'nids to eat you all.

Have a fab time

I'll likely bring Dark Angels, given the relative lack of Space Marines.

This will only, er, I mean all be worth it WHEN someone snaps a pic of Gwar! for posting here on Dakka Dakka.

Someone, make it so!

@bishopgore - thanks for the offer matey, would love to take you up on that! will onviously chip in for fuel! Nice to see you going. (can you sneak your gargant into 1000pts? you could disguise it as a grot and unviel it in the last turn lol)

Well there goes that secret plan!

We'll have to have a game before August to see whether your IG can do better than my friend's...

always up for a challenge! tbh, i don't expect to do too well at warhammer world, going for the fun

yep, that's cheesy!
