We may not have power armored Elvis this year, but we will have some special guests to liven the event up =)

What an incredibly suspicious statement.

Edit: No! Bad brain! Out of the gutter this instant!

Hey fellers,
I was just looking at the fireraptor rules to prepare. I dont think its allowed. Am i wrong? Reece?

Can't speak for Reece but it is on the approved list for both chaos and imperial space marines

Well (Reece) the reason I asked was when I asked about the R'Varna and the Yvarha he said 'no' because the rules were "experimental." Just curious. Not trying to sh$t-stir or be difficult. Cool model though. Best looking SM flier easily.
Thanks,
DrG

PS: not gonna go out and buy one either. Or the Tau stuff... I'm so bummed about playing IKs and the Lynx/Scorpion. I'm bringing a fun list.

Reecius, eventually I will attend one of your events... I just need you to deconflict them with my deployments.

Rules for the Fire Raptor are not experimental and are included in both the IA 13, for CSM, and the 2nd edition IA 2, for SM.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. It seems like suuuuch a better deal than the storm raven which is just as expensive point wise (w bolters). See you dudes there! Booking flight today!!!!

Fire Raptor is not only a sexy model, but it is good to go for Chaos or Imps!

@Tomb King

Yeah, we'd love to have you, bro! Stay safe over seas, man.

@Thread

Today is the last day to get a cash refund on an LVO ticket!

Any word on whether we can use the new Necron codex for the LVO?

As it will be coming out less than 30-days before the tournament, you will have the option to use either 'dex. That is because a lot of people won't have enough time to change their Necron army with so few time remaining.

Yup, you can use either book, however, any formations available in the new book are only available to players using the new book.

Yay, teleporting relentless sentry pylons for the win

What the upcoming Harlie codex? is that going to be allowed?

@The Everliving

We've been playing that particularly gruesome unit for a while now on the West Coast, so nothing new, here. I know you East Coasters are FW virgins in many cases, so it is a bit shocking, I'm sure.

Oh, and the irony coming from he who played the Seer Council last time is amusing =)

@z3n1st

Yes, it will be allowed.

Man I'd love to make it over the pond to this one year. Can someone who has previously attended give me a rough guestimate on the sort of spending money you can get through, in terms or gaming tickets, average cost of food etc, hotels. Don't worry about gambling and drinking costs.

I'd like to know the answer to this too!

Vegas is pretty cheap if you aren't gambling or drinking heavily

Most hotels, including the one they used for this, are going to be 90-100 USD per night, you'll also find deals for significantly less. Food just depends on what you want, but again, 20-30 per meal at most unless you're eating somewhere really fancy, and you will have a ton of options for significantly less.

Overall vegas is a fairly cheap place for attendees, if you dont plan on drinking/gambling.

Yeah, Vegas is very affordable or limitlessly expensive, depending on your tastes. You can stay 4 to a room (which at our prices makes it damn near nothing), eat cheaply and drink beer you buy at the store and it is mega cheap. Or, you can go to world class restaurants, get girls and go to clubs and spend as much money as you have! It really just depends on you.

The flight over the pond will be the biggest expense, but luckily, Vegas casinos often subsidize them to encourage travel to the city and you can often find incredible deals if you search.

This. I've done vegas on less than $200 (including hotel, but no flight) and at other times spent more than I care to divulge on a public forum .

Is the LVO always around this time of year? If so sounds like a 25th birthday trip for me!

Well its only the second year but its going to be steady.

I went last year and am fairly certain it was end of Feb also.

Yeah, it will always be Feb!

Reece,

Play testing the missions for LVO. Got a question.

Say I have Captain in 5 man tac squad in a Razorback in my own deployment zone. Does that count as 3 units?

I would think it would be 2 units. Because while the IC is attached to a unit he is part of that unit, not a separate unit.

That's of course assuming that units in transports count as being in the location their transport is standing of course.

I think the logical way to look at it is how many kill points would you get if you removed the transport and what was inside, that is how many units you have there

But sometimes certain units are worth more KP than others so that's not a great system.

Yea we argued for an hour last night. Answers we got were 1, 2, and 3.
