If I get the money to make it to BAO this year, I'll totally take a CSM list with a bazillion invisible units and be unstoppable! Mwuahahahahaha!

Yay! Trash talk!

Nothing like a good verbal jostle before the tournament.

BTW, I just may see/play against Mortetvie before the BAO.

I don't think I've been as happy for going to a GT like I am right now. Im taking MSU Marines but man painting this many models has been a pain. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Btw.....Reece did say MSU Marines is going to win the BAO.. lol

@Junlecs

I think an MSU scoring list is going to be super effective in 7th ed! And yeah, we're pumped to get on with 7th ed, too, going to be fun.

@Thread

We played an MSU Drop Pod Marine list vs. Baneblade AM/Inquisition last night in the new BAO format: great game! Bloody game! lol, but in the end, it came down to a single HP on the Baneblade and a Scoring Drop Pod on an objective!

AM won the secondary by a single point as the Marines failed to strip a thrid hull point off of the Baneblade to get the bonus point which would have tied the secondary. AM also had Warlord and First blood for 5 mission points. Earning points turn by turn as you go is really fun and it changes the way the game is played quite a bit as you have to go for the points while you can get them.

The Marines won the primary with an ObSec Drop pod, lol! They also had Linebreaker with a Drop Pod, but Yarrick survived with a single wound to deny them Warlord. 5 Points for the Marines for a tie game!

Both armies only had about 5 models left on the table, very fun game. The new missions have been a big hit, and we will be posting them up this week so everyone can start practicing.

Excited to get a hold of them. We played your missions throughout 6th and I don't see that changing now. Particularly interested in how you've incorporated the Maelstrom missions.

Will the new ork dex be in? Should be a month to the date since its release.

Oh so now you believe the Ork dex is coming out ehh?

The new Ork dex will be in, yes =)

@Eldarain

They will be up this week for sure, if not sooner! Just getting them polished, now.

Although this is rumor so far. If the Stompa is in the dex as a possible choice as a non lord of war, would that be allowed in the Championships? Although it is unlikely, just wondering if Ork players would have that advantage.

Save reecius a reply here and say what I think he will say. Going to have to wait to see the new ork dex before even touching that one. I doubt the stompa is in the dex and not a LoW.

@Reece: Have you guys had to alter how you normally set up terrain to accommodate the larger lords of war?

As Tomb King said, we will have to wait and see the new book before making any calls. We'll adjust as we go, though!

@Crablesworth

No, not really. They have Move Through Cover so they just kind of mash over stuff.

@Thread

Missions are posted! Let us know if you see any typos, etc. Feel free to play-test and let us know what you think! Thanks!

Mission number 5:

Step 5b says "these are also Big Guns Never Tire" objectives.
Primary mission says "The Scouring"

(nicely) C'mon, man. The link is two posts above yours.

That's two obvious links you've missed.

Although the download did get me tripped up trying to log into Google, before I just went to 'File", and then "Download".

Reducing maelstrom missions to a D6 is a good call in a timed tournament. It captures the essence, and after looking at the maelstrom redux table you made all I can think of when it comes to the d66 table is "Ain't nobody got time for that"

It makes first and second turn a big deal. Player 1 gets to know player 2s missions before player 2s turn, but player 2 gets to blow player 1 off objectives and can easily cockblock hold the line with a fast unit. Overall it favors going 2nd.

No, no your right. I'll look more carefully. Sorry and thanks.

Hey everyone, after a long conversation with the NOVA crew, both BAO and NOVA are changing their list building guidelines to something that will be less confusing and more straightforward.

Here is the update: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/2014/06/19/early-7th-ed-tournament-guidelines-for-nova-and-bao/

Sorry for any confusion this may cause, but we felt it was the right call to make.

Hit me up with any questions.

Excellent decision. I feel that allowing factions to "ally with themselves" is striking a good balance between limiting CADs while still allowing for the expanded flexibility you get from the 7E detachment system.

My two Crimson Hunter exarchs thank you.

Yeah, the other way was RAW but just too confusing. This way everyone gets the same access to the same amount of goodies without going full frontal dual CAD

I just was reading over the Scenarios, and here is what I was wondering.

To win the primary, just achieve it to get 4 points. To achieve it for Purge the Alien lets say, have more VPs than you opponent for each unit destroyed?

To win a Maelstrom Secondary Mission, collect the most points for Maelstrom Missions achieved. Winning, this grants you an overall of 3 points?

The Bonus points are self explanatory.

To sum it up, you don't recieve any points for completing a mission (like the VPs for killing a unit) but those instead count twards the "sub competition" to win the Primary or Secodary. Upon winning it you get the 4 or 3 points. So you can only ever have a maximum score of 10 per Scenario?

Sorry if this was explained earlier, looking back now

Well done . Hope you do well at the event!

Im building my army with ONE single damn Detachment. I dont need to worry about CAD.
Also, I cant get the missions to load

@Hotsauce

Try reloading the page or something, everyone else seems to be getting them.

@Farsight

You got it, that is the way it works, yes.

3 of these awesome Titans will be given away as prizes at the BAO 2014!

Can you elaborate on how they will be one? And what possible kinds of prizes we can expect for winning the tournament?

Now i am even more unhappy i can't go to tournaments like these.

Why Reecius why, you have to have such good events?

I completely agree. It's why we're already planning a Vegas vacation to sync up with the LVO.

Thanks guys! Glad you think the events are cool =)

We are going to give away the Titans for various prizes, one of which will be tournament champion!

1) I apologize if this has already been covered. But are you required to take a CAD? The format details seem to contradict themselves here.

2) More specifically, Can I take 1 Formation, and 1 Allied detachment, and call it an army? The format rules on the FLG website say that I can, and it also says that I can't.

3) Finally, how is the Strike Force Ultra considered? Is it counted as 2 separate formations, or if I take both of the sub-formations, am I counted as taking a single formation?

1.) Yes, you must take a CAD, but no more than one.
2.) No.
3.) You play one version or it or the other.
