Looking forward to seeing what you come up with to top last year's Sons of AnOrky!

Reecius I havent seen you guys from frontline since Brawl in the fall last year so itd be nice to chill again at GT. Biffo and I making it there this year.

Yesterday we announced our partnership with the Feast of Blades: FIVE players at the GTGT will qualify for the Feast of Blades Invitational this year - the overall Tournament Champion and the entire Best Team! The Tournament Champion will also receive paid entry into the Invitational!

I have a question, Will you guys have vendors selling stuff there?

For those of you who haven't seen the photo on Facebook, here's a glimpse at the Warbringer Titan from Tsipis Games that our Tournament Champion will take home! He's the big guy on the left. (I didn't take this photo, just posting it as a good size comparison!)

If that Titan is indeed the prize for winning the Golden Throne tournament in Pleasanton aug 3-4 then my rights of battle must strengthen and the Emperor be ever guiding my sword.

Well I got eveerything needed for the tournament done....
What am i supposed to do in the mean time?

Practice! You can also check out our website for our list of Friday events and see if there are any you'd like to join!

Get here a week early and finish my painting for me?

Check out these awesome kits from Tectonic Craft Studios! The top three kits are the ruins that go to our top three finishers in the GTGT main event; the rest are objectives for our Top 8 Keep Your Objectives! promotion - top 8 players holding an objective at the end of their match get to take them home!

When you say that the first roll for anything mysterious applies to all of them, does that mean the first roll for a mysterious objective applies to all the objectives? also, how big of a base size are the objectives?

Can my sergeants model a power weapon as a close combat weapon since i built my sergeant that way. To distinguish my sergeants from my regular dudes and because it looks better with a power weapon.

That's correct. We want to include the mysterious tables, but going the whole nine yards doesn't really work in a tournament setting. Giving both players the same benefit/handicap does.

Objective size is up to you, just don't get too crazy!

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you model your sergeants with power swords but not pay for the upgrade?

Yes thats correct. Will that be ok as long as my army list shows close combat weapon and i inform that the guy with the sword is. Only to distinguish my sergeant.

Also, Can the farsight supplement be used in the tournament?

No - the cutoff for new rules was July 6. Nothing released after that (including the new Apocalypse stuff) is allowed.

As long as you let your opponents know you'll be fine.

Hey Rob, thanks for answering all of these questions, first of all.

How are you ruling powers that don't target enemy units but affect them for the Golden Throne? The BRB. states that you have to be the target of a power to get a deny the witch save, however some of the older book powers target the psyker, but have a radius effect such as Null Zone, Aura of Despair, etc. that effect enemy units.

The BRB defines NOVAs but those are specifically a sub-type of witch-fires that damage the target whereas these powers are not.

Are you ruling that units effected by the power get a deny the witch or no sense they are not the target of the power? Also, how are you ruling Jaws of the World Wolf? Does each unit hit by it get a Deny the Witch or just the first unit and if so, does that nullify the entire power?

Thanks.

By RAW, I don't believe you will get a Deny save against area-of-effect powers which doesn't specifically target a unit.

As for Jaws, I believe it is the first unit that is touched by the line which gets its Deny save. Any other unit behind them is not actually being targeted and so get no Deny saves.

Jim beat me to the punch -- both of these answers are exactly how we're playing them at the GTGT. Thanks, Jim!

Im marking off the calender Im super excited.

In case you guys are interested, here's a sneak peek at some of the new terrain being painted:

OK cool, that's the way we play it and how we ruled it at the BAO, too. Just wanted to know, thanks!

Pfff, haha, actually the BRB FAQ expressly addresses JotWW, sorry for asking you a question I could look up, myself, Rob!

Hey guys,

This year we have players coming from several states and as far away as Ireland. I can't properly express how excited I am! Tomorrow I'm going to pick up about 30 more boards, so you can expect updates over the next few days with photos of the tables you'll be playing on (and, most likely, my cut-up fingers!). If you haven't bought your ticket yet, please pick it up now so I know how many boards we need to add!

How will you guys be doing the scouring? Since we have to bring our own objectives and such

How many tickets are left for the main event?

Some players use a Sharpie to write the objective values from the Scouring on the bottom of their objectives (especially if they're using the GW servo skull objective markers). That way seems to be the most convenient.

We have several still available.

So bring a sharpie? I got 3 objective markers to use on infantry bases, is that enough?

This is for anyone really to answer, but can you have the Iyanden supplement as your primary detachment, and Codex: Eldar as a allied detachment? or vice versa? Also, for swooping hawks, If the unit cannot see the same target of their grenade pack, can they still make a shooting attack against a different target? The wording makes in sound as if the unit can't see them anymore or they are out of rang, they can shoot at a different target.
