But really, the final sentiments in my last post (about 3 hours, and dual-force org) were comments about my preferences more than logistics. I fully know that a tournament will run overall fine at 3 hour rounds for 2K points...its just the furthest thing away from what I would be interested in as possible, that's all I was really trying to say.


So you won't be on my team, then?

I do hope someone brings something crazy, like 180 Plaguebearers in 9 squads or something.

I bought two tickets under my name Julio Rodriguez. One of them is for a friend, Jesse Morales. That way will he be able to register on the day of the tournament?

Hey Rob,

If you're looking for potential rules issues to put in your FAQ, check out the Adepticon FAQ...not implying you should use the actual rulings in there, just that its a good resource to pull from rather than relying just on submissions from those attendees aware enough to submit questions to you.

yakface's 40K rule #1: Although the rules allow you to use modeling to your advantage, how badly do you need to win your toy soldier games?
yakface's 40K rule #2: Friends don't let friends start a MEQ army.
yakface's 40K rule #3: Codex does not ALWAYS trump the rulebook, so please don't say that!

Thanks! We're working on a few more but won't be able to confirm until after Adepticon.

That does sound pretty brutal! Luckily for us we're drafting Kill Teams (you can check out the details on how that works here), so it's not something we'll have to worry about!

I've updated our official website with links to our first two major sponsors, Tsipis Games (formerly known as the Titan Manufactorum) and Secret Weapon Miniatures. We have other sponsorships that will be announced in the near future as well.

It's been a hectic couple of weeks! I'll be updating the website (and FAQ section) today.

Out of curiosity, will people's record from day one carry over to the RTT on day two, or will it be clean slates?

No, the day two RTT is a whole separate tournament -- no matter how you did on day one you can still take first place on day two.

Ticket sales for the main event are at about 300% of where they were last year at this time. Who else is getting excited already?!

I have a question, When I buy my ticket with paypal, while the payment is processing, Is it reserved for me if they run out?
Also. do we need a physical ticket for the event?

Once your payment is submitted we hold a ticket for you.

You don't need a physical ticket. Once your payment is processed we send you a confirmation email and add your name to our list of confirmed participants. All you need to do at that point is check in the day of the event.

Take a look at our website for the most up-to-date information; there's a tab labeled Hotel Information with details on room rates. You can also post in our Facebook group if you're looking to carpool or share a hotel room.

Just bring a few spare bases - 25mm are fine.

See you there!

Since the tournament is allowing two force organization charts, Does that mean we may also take a second fortification if we take a second primary attachment?

I believe th BRB says only once fortification per army.
