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?

Honestly if this is your first event, bring whatever you want and have fun, soak it all in, will be a fantastic experience.

If you live in the area you are more then welcome to come out and test for the event with us.

As the man said, if it's your first tournament just take what you feel does the job best and (importantly) that you're most familiar with so you know your rules pretty much inside and out. Otherwise just enjoy the experience, learn how the east coast meta works, and have fun! Every region has its own tournament scene, Killadelphia has a good rep for enjoyable opponents and rules.

Great, thank you for the replies.

I'm about an hour and a half away here in Central NJ. What days and times are friendly games usually played?

Looking at the schedule - and knowing how tired folks usually are after 3 or 4 straight games - Sat/Sun might be tough to work a "friendly" match in. Most folks are ready to grab dinner after that third game Saturday. But if you ask around you might find someone who will take you up on a Friday night friendly match. Best of luck!

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays the store is open late everyday so if you make the drive you should have no issue getting games in. We actually have a few people who drive at least an hr to play at the store. The grp is a great mix of casual and competitive players.

I'm guessing that the Necron FAQ is somewhat redundant now

Is a Decurion formation going to be counted as a single source or will the component formations each count as a separate source?

Are we going to be using the faq rules for Necron Sentry Pylons or is it being changed to reflect how the death ray works in the Necron Codex?

The FAQ does seem a bit out of date

I don't mind that the faq is a little out of date. To be expected, really. Just not sure what toys to bring to this party, and the question on how sources are counted and how pylons will work will help me decide.

Good luck Alex !

What do you think needs to be addressed in the FAQ?

If you are asking about the new formations made up of other formations they, for example the decurion detachment, it will count as one source and you can replete formations in that detachment.

I will ask about the death rays

The necron section is written for the old codex. To be honest it should just be removed from the FAQ in case it causes confusion with players who don't own the new codex.

Thanks for the answer in the decurion and for checking on the death ray.

We just passed the halfway point for registration!

Anytime. We are having a meeting about the faq tonight, as far as we know nothing major has come up with the new cron book. If you have any specific issues please pm me or post them here. Still not sure about the death ray, I hope to have an answer tonight!

I purchased my ticket on PayPal. Do I just need to show you the receipt on my phone on the day of the event or is there a more formal process for checking in? Also, are you collecting lists before the event/is there a submission deadline?

I think TheEverling's point is that pretty much all of the faq only applies to the old necron codex. Are you allowed to use the old one at this event? If not, it should probably be removed.

RobPro is correct. If you can't use the old Necron codex at the event the necron section in the faq is redundant and should be removed to prevent confusion,

fixed.

If the Eldar codex comes out next week that puts it 3 weeks out from this, I'm assuming it won't be legal for killadelphia?

Nope the deadline was tomorrow, so we will be using the Old Eldar book. The new one will not be allowed.

Awesome, thanks for the response.

No problem, let me know if you have any other questions

Alrighty, paid through the site and room I booked. See you all in a few weeks.

Did you get an answer on the death ray?

Booked my slot. Looking forward to it!

Haha mike awesome, glad your headed out. We should get a game before hand.

Anyways Krootman next probably rediculous question. Are mysterious objectives being used for this event, it wasnt in the faq or mission packet so just making sure.

Edit: and on the basing policy do skimmer and jetbikes bases also need to be based?

For sure man. I haven't broken out the sisters since Vegas so I'm itching for a 40K fix.

Ni they arnt. And you don't have to base jetbike and skimmer bases.

Any word on the rules for sentry pylons yet?

And do we get some kind of auto-win if we have to play someone who takes an entire game to go through 2 turns?

Pylons will remain unchanged. Tho they are not quite as good as they were in our testing.

If you suspect an opponent of slow play, call a judge over and they will handle it accordingly.

Okay, cool on the pylon.

Roger that. You can expect me to call the judge over after about 1 minute

Damn straight. If I have to play someone notorious for playing at the speed of a sloth I'm not going to wait until we're an hour into the game and only on turn 1. I'm getting a judge over immediately so I have a chance of actually playing a full game.
