COST

$70 per player, this payment will be non-refundable. Payment can be made in-store at Stomping Grounds or with the paypal button provided on the website above.

Will register this next week, looking forward to it Jessie. Need to get another match against you outside of BFS!

How will you guys be running O'Vesa? Able to join as the last IC or not able to join groups that contain another IC already? Didn't see any ruling on him within your FAQ.

Order of Operations, if the IC's join before O'vesa, the O'vesa can legally join! Look forward to seeing you!

Couldn't agree more on that.

Yep, perhaps this time you'll bring something I've seen before. Seems like my first loss at BFS is always you with some new list just as I get back into the game.. Ad Lance!!! *shakes fist*

Course by now I've killed enough Ad Lances it just gets boring. Anyway, looking forward to it!

I'm planning to make it .

Well then I am planning on seeing you there!

This looks fun, I'm going to try and make it, work permitting.

EDIT: Any chance the FAQ can be hosted anywhere besides godawful MediaFire?

Can't wait for this one. The packet is pretty solid guys

I am so looking forward to this one.
count me in!

Cant wait to see you there!

When you say "two sources," do you really mean "two detachments"? You pretty much run out of sources after you take the main rulebook to get a Combined Arms Detachment and then units from your codex.

You can take one cad plus one of the following: a formation, an ally, or a detachment.

You can also take a formation, plus a detachment, 2 detachments, 2 formations etc.

Comes the apoc and self allying is allowed as well.

Those are detachment based restrictions for list building. One of their documents on the Google docs folder says two sources, which works a bit different and I'd like a little clearing up.

Quick question. For the chosen secondaries, how many do you get to choose each game? 3?

Sounds good to me ! A step in the right direction for sure. I'm going to register this week.

Can you clarify, a source is generally a cad, detachment, ally, a formation, or a data slate (minus cypher and belekor).

See you there man!!! What army are you planing on running?!

Straight Tyranids in some form or another, really the only thing I play competitively. I should be seeing you at De La Warr as well, if you go.

Nice, I should be there as well, just depends on my schedule.

I'll try and make the trip south for this. Is there a cap on players and how many do you have signed up? I'd hate to register to find out I'm on a waiting list to get in

I think they're up to 20ish signed up and the cap is 64, so there's plenty of spots left at this point. I need to sign up myself.

Been playing through some of the missions in the packet and I have two more questions -

1) when do you place the objectives for each mission? I assume after terrain is placed but it's not clear, and placing them before will certainly.impact where terrain goes.

2) do summoned demon troops count for the total number you need to kill if you select the "kill all enemy troops" secondary?

Justin is correct, if you sing up now you will 100% get a spot.

1) you place objectives after terrain set up

2) summoned troops count for slay the rank and file.

Hey guys, I am hoping to make this my first tournament.

I am intending to run a Daemon army with CSM allies.

Is there anything I should be aware of, other than summoned "troops" not counting as Objective Secured?

Edit: And are high str/ap sort of a "must have" for these tournaments, to be anywhere close to competitive?
