You can only take Iyanden or Codex Eldar as primary as they cannot be allied with each other. Furthermore, your primary must be from the same codex so you can either have 2 Iyanden or 2 Codex: Eldar detachments.

Great to see the prep going on, we are proud to sponsor and supply The GT with scenery. Hoping a few of you share photos of the event in action with us , and have a great tournament!

A few questions: (Hopefully none have been asked previously)

Will there be tables set up on Friday for pick-up games?

Do you have to buy entry to Friday events ahead of time or can you just drop a 20 on the table and get in on a draft tourney?

Are y'all using the old GW Kill Team rules or do you have your own set?

We'll be setting the boards up on Friday, yes. I'm not sure what time they'll be available, but I'd guess early to mid afternoon.

You can plunk down your cash and hop into any of our Friday events. Please note that we're not accepting credit or debit on site, though.

We have our own relatively straightforward set of Kill Team rules we'll pass out to participants.

Cant wait, I got my ride secured, food ready and more money then sense.
Golden throne, watch out here I come

Still painting my army. Gonna do my display board tonight. Got a bunch of practice games in so Im ready to go. Im down for a few pick up games if anyone wants to play Friday pm me.

Want to know what your friendly neighborhood event manager does at 3am the week of a GT?

I'm actually looking forward to starting from scratch with some new projects after the event.

I think they have a mental illness classification for that... =)

Last question Mr. Pace,
If I have the old wraithlord model may I use it in the tournament?

How old are we talking? I don't remember offhand how far back those models go.

Just the last model with the big head, and skinny legs. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/1/23/176678_md-Eldar,%20Wraithlord,%20Old%20Ulthwe%20Wraithlord%20-%20left.jpg

He's roughly the same size as the newer one, so no problem. I'd very very much prefer if you gave him the newer base though.

One of the things I'm most excited about this year is our big list of Friday events, including our 40k Draft Tournaments. Basically, you get a pack of cards, open it, pick one to keep then pass the rest to the guy beside you. Keep picking and passing until there's nothing left, then come on up and we'll give you the models you've drafted! You use those to build a 200pt Kill Team and play in a 3-round tournament. Check out this preview card!

Anyone have a 50mm base they are willing to sell for like $2? Also the draft looks like a ton of fun

Toocool61. Ill take one of my cadian heavy weapons team base and give it to you during our practice game. Idont know if thats a 50 mm base but i think it is.

Perfect! Thank you so much!

I've been looking forward to this for a while. It seems like a really fun concept. This and hopefully a couple of pick-up games tomorrow will be my consolation for not being able to make the Main Event this year.

Amerikon Ill have time for pick up games tomorrow.
Pm me.

Just a brief update. Some of the people who made it to Day 2 with 3-0 records (that I am aware of):

Reece (Space Marines/Space Wolves)
Frankie (very nasty Eldar/Dark Eldar list with 6 ravagers!)
Mortavie (Eldar + Tau)
Ministry (Tau + Eldar)
Liz (BAO 2013 winner, daemons)
Mike (Eldar + allies?)

Not sure who else.


Not surprisingly, there was a huge number of Tau/Eldar players. Probably 1/3 of the field contained them in one form or another. As I predicted, riptides are the new heldrakes. For marines, there were a staggering number of drop pod armies. Reece ran 3 drop pods in his army, including the dreadnought drop pod where he can assault on the turn he lands. There was also a good number of Hyperios Launchers on the marine side.

Suprisingly, only 4 necron armies that I saw, including a very nasty triple-heldrake, 4-necron flyer list (he might have gone 3-0 as well). Would've been 5 had I been able to play.

Do you know anything about the rest of this list? I'm guessing it was dual FOC CSM as the primary with two allied Necron detachments? That's a lot of mandatory stuff (4 HQ, 6 Troops).

I believe it was CSM primary with necron allies - Overlord, deathmarks in scythe, 2 troops in scythes and a doomscythe.

So just 1 FOC.

Hm, its pretty late on the East coast, I figure the tourneys over... any word on a winner?

Not sure tried texting some folks did not get back to me yet. Last I heard was Recce Drop Wolves with Lysander were on top table against some Tau/Eldar combination.

Seems like Reece lost to Jetbike Objective grab.

Mortavie won it all with eldar + tau.


Reece did very good and came in 2nd with Imperial Fists space marines + space wolves.

Very fun event! Thanks to Rob and Co. for running it.

I made it to the finals with such a goofball list, no double force org , a single forge world unit, had the last game won and forgot to get out of my transport on turn 5. He has 8 models left, 6 of which are jetbikes and flies into objectives, the game ends, I lose. Doh! I can't believe I forgot to get out of my damn land raider. Such a rookie mistake, but such is life and I had a lot of fun second is nothing to be ashamed of and I fought through some really good players and lists to get there. Always cool when the game comes down to the last throw of the dice. Had it gone to 6, I would have probably won, maybe even tabling him, but it didn't.

Fun event and dou le force org, fw allowed was no big deal. Almost all the finalists had.normal armies. It's the player, not the list that matters.

Hope everyone else had fun, too!

I will still never forget what 6 ravagers did to me
"Cries in corner"
But nah, my first solo GT was amazing, everyone who attended made it a BLAST for me.
Still I went 3 to 3 for my first GT. and I have only been playing a year.

Ahem, it's "mortetvie" not "mortavie"

And thanks to all for the great and fun games!

In the end, when all else fails, Eldar always has the turn 5 objective grab with jet bikes tactic to fall back on, lol!

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make the GTGT 2013 a success! I'll put together a write-up soon, but for now it's time to crash.
