Reece, I serve Alcohol, When you cut someone off, even if you are wrong and they complain, you dont go back. IF you do it means you can be bullied into changing.
I disagree with the Knight Ruling. Infact I still think keeping escalation is just weird.
But dont go back. Keep the ruling if you think that is right for now.
Dont make people think you can be bullied.

"Yeah, Reece. Don't be a waffle. Mmmmm, blue berries."

Edit: Nevermind

No, it's not going to change. Not enough people complain about it to warrant any changes.

Honestly, it's not that bad. MC's can only fire 2 guns anyway. The fact that it has 5 guns that it can fire is balanced by the faq that probably at most 2 can fire at any 1 single target due to firing arcs.

Also, a 75-pt 6W MC that is also a transport and that can fire 15 S5 shots a turn is under-costed IMO. I'm just glad that we can get tranports for our army.

We don't use ITC in antipodean NZ so the ruling has no effect on me either way. However, I want to show solidarity for my American hive brothers. In every tournament game I've played (admittedly not many) my opponent either allows all 5 guns to fire because its a Monstrous Creature or lets me shoot them all as long as I can draw line of sight from the muzzle of the gun. They are not vehicle mounted guns and BS2 + turn 2 arrival offsets the number of shots. In fact, if you put Venom Cannons on them, you can hurt yourself more than your opponent.

Sold Out!

Can I get on the waitlist?

Not really interested in 40k Champs but is there a narrative event or anything similar at BAO?

Edit: Like the (in)famous "friendlies" I've heard of at other events...

I was going to buy my ticket on Thursday. Can you put me on the waitlist?

What?

Overwatch & Blackmoor: total fail, gentlemen. The community is shocked and ashamed.

I don't see the ruling as a game changer. Nidz are still viable.

the army's viable, sure. not disputing it. nids are in general are in a good place, after IA4v2 and the supplements putting some meat on their bones.

but the pods? not really, no.

I meant I got my Ticket the second it went on sale.
Reece Really hyped it up by saying every podcast he has "Buy now, they go fast" when I bet if he didnt he would have still sold out, just not as fast.

I was eyeing those tickets as they went down and considered buying one several times, however, having passed the California Bar examination I'll be spending the next few months setting up my law practice and just can't justify the time or money =(.

I wish everyone the best of time and great success!

@Mortetvie

Congratz on passing the Bar, bro, that's awesome!

Still room in the Warmachine events! And we will have DzC and Malifaux one day events as well.

So, if the rumor is true, and the codex will be Arriving June 13, what will it be. Will we be forced to play the new codex or can we choose the old one? because it looks like it is withing 30 days

Within 30 days we allow players to use either book, but cannot take both books through allies or what have you.

Don't cross streams! lol

I get it. Just wanted to make sure.

Malifaux added to the schedule! https://www.frontlinegaming.org/community/bao-2015/

DzC only has 4 spots left!

Anyone have some good hotel recommendations?

Thanks, already working on a law suit and several transactions for clients so free time is no longer "free" lol. Good luck at the event if you are going, wish I could go with my Wraithstar and continue to prove Wraithblades are not bad.

OK. So I'm going to be that guy. Are you allowing the new skyhammer formation? You know, the supposedly OP, web exclusive? Because... I might have bought it

Edited with correct formation...Ooops!

Are you referring to the Skyhammer Annihilation force?

Maybe...

Seriously though yes I am.

Why the price spike, almost kills it for me. TBH feels more like a manipulation but whatever (Riptide on ebay > BAO Ticket). I need to get wait listed too please. I thought it would be in later July and did not expect it to sell out so fast.

@Jamie

I'll give you a pass on complaining about the ticket price (which has not increased, BTW, it has stayed the same for several years, now) because you are so young. If you knew how expensive these things are to run, and saw it from our perspective, you would understand better why things cost what they cost and see that the price is actually more than fair. And besides, what good is getting another eBay Riptide if you don't have a cool tournament to go play it at?

@OverwatchCNC

Yes, we are allowing it, as we allow all the Formations at present. We just have to decide how to interpret some aspects of it.

Such as...

The first few BAOs were $50 but they were held in what amounted to a barn with concrete floors so a $25 bump for the venue to have, AC/Carpeting/Lighting/WiFi/Restrooms that aren't the result of mid 20th century Fair Ground construction, plus much more, is more than worth it.

First BAO was $55, second was $65, we bumped up to $75 after that and have stayed there for the past few years. But whatever, it's not a big issue, and yes, the venue is infinitely better!

As for the Skyhammer formation the big point of contention is if you can join characters to it and benefit from the Formation rules or not. I read it as no.
