Frankie's list was gross! I can't believe I beat him, by rights, he should have creamed me.

Plus, the Sac players, Lyzz, the South Bay guys, the North Bay guys, the Stockton crew, there will be some very good players there.

@Rob

Nice! I will definitely be playing in that Friday event, my Rev will continue his reign of terror! lol

Rematch!

Don't think my crons have forgotten. Their hatred is eternal! Muahahahaha!

My new list is crazy, I'm bringing it to AdeptiCon. But as Rob pointed out, the game may change a lot, again, in May. So we'll see what happens, but my new list is super fun I'd love to bring it.

Ill believe it when I actaully see you play a game of 40k reece

I can't wait for this either! 3rd time in a row Rob!

Third time's the charm, right?

Total attendance (including Friday events, which we added in 2013) for the GTGT grew over 90% from 2012 to 2013. We're looking forward to seeing even more new faces this year! I'm already working on new terrain!

The third time may be a charm! Second one sure wasn't. I seized against Frankie's deldar and with drop pod marines I couldn't kill any vehicles. Clearly my marines went the the same rifling school as storm troopers from star wars!

And thier uniforms were supplied by red-shirts-r-us? Bad dice are always painful :(.

I wonder how it would have gone had I played Frankie's army rather than Reece's.

Sounds like the same academy my Dark Eldar graduated from - they never hit anything!

Lol, hey! I have been playing a lot, lately. My new list is pretty nasty and tricksy, just the way I like to play. I think it will catch some people off guard.

@Robpace

Yeah, I have played your DE and can attest to that! That game with my Wolves vs. your DE was comedy.

Yeah, getting 2 hits and no wounds from 30+ attacks is kind of the hallmark of my army! I'm at the point now where I bring 3-4 sets of dice to games so I can switch off when any single set decides it hates me.

The guys over at Minx Miniatures Studio just sent us the latest work-in-progress photo of Brother Marcus, Defender of the Throne -- the exclusive miniature they're sculpting for the GTGT 2014! Check this out!

That guys looks sweet! Looking forward to getting one.

More detailing!

In addition to the GTGT website, we also host a strategy blog that publishes new articles twice a week (Monday and Wednesday). Today we've added a new source of content -- our podcast, Seize the Initiative, has released its first episode! Check it out here!

Check out the progress on Brother Marcus - he has arms!

Gt Socal...
I don't when it is, I'm coming! This will be my first GT! And thank you Rob for keeping us updated, this is shaping up to be a great tournament year!

Awesome! Thanks for the kind words!

We're still working on the details for the GTGT SoCal. I'm hoping to get everything tied up soon!

We've posted our full event information document on our website! Please keep in mind that the rules posted there are subject to change based on GW's release schedule - we're paying particular attention to the rumors of 7th edition releasing in May.

Right now we're working on our scenarios, and our goal is to get them finalized and posted for feedback ASAP!

Couldn't help but notice that escalation is not included. That's good IMO. But forge world if you know what to bring "necrons" then there should be some fun deviating lists.

Also I didn't see "the imp knights" codex on the list. Will you guys be allowing them?

Yes! It's listed under Codex: Imperial Knights in the Legal Codexes section.

We're thrilled to announce our newest sponsor for the Golden Throne GT 2014 - SciFiGuy Modelworks! We've partnered with SFG Modelworks to bring THREE of their phenomenal Reaper Titanic War-Walker models to our event.

The first Reaper Titan will be part of the grand prize for our GTGT Main Event Champion!

The second will be raffled off to participants in our Friday events - earn a raffle entry for each event you enter!

The final kit will take on a central role in the Siege of Kasp Narrative Event!

Excellent! Planning to attend my first tournament in years and structure my summer plans around this weekend

Nice! Looking forward to seeing you!

I just this very week moved to an apartment from which I can (and will!) walk to the tournament sight. Walking will be even quicker than driving, in fact. I'm pretty pumped.

Awesome! There's nothing like being at a tournament and not having to drive home afterward.

If you're a terrain junkie like me you can keep track of our WIP additions and improvements to the GTGT terrain bank through my terrain blog here on dakka.

We've relaunched our websites today -- the primary GTGT site is now a portal that leads to individual sites for each of our three grand tournaments. We'll be adding content to each site over the next few days, but as of right now all of the basic information on the GTGT Prime and Southwest is online.

We have all of the information for the GTGT SoCal finalized, and we should have the venue contract in hand early this week. Once we've signed on the dotted line we'll launch that event's website as well.

The Golden Throne GT Prime 2014 in Pleasanton will feature our first-ever schedule of hobby seminars! These seminars are exceptionally inexpensive, especially when you realize we don't require convention badges.

If you've been eyeing the Fantasy Flight Games X-Wing Miniatures Game, you're in luck! We're going to be running X-Wing demos all weekend at the GTGT Prime!

Our test mission packet is now available for download. Play some games and let us know what you think!
