SM FAQ question. Can you join ICs to the 1st turn assualt Skyforce Formation?

While I am not the TO, my answer here would be a No and this is why:

1. The IC does not have the special rule. Thus, he slows down the unit. Just like an IC with terminator armor in a unit prevents that unit from making sweeping advances.

2. It is the more conservative ruling, thus making an already very powerful rule/combo (don't forget, no Overwatch!) not brokenly powerful, like taking a 5-man Assault squad and putting 5 IC's in there to make a massive multi-assault.

Best of luck, everyone! Stay dry!

Reece ruled on this in the BAO thread. The answer is no.

Do we know about iron hands non-dreadnought vehicles and whether they get IWND?

Good luck to everyone playing!

The codex is pretty clear. Vehicles don't have Chapter Tactics.

The rulebook is very clear about unbound and rerollable 2+ saves being allowed. TO's and the rulebooks sometimes disagree.

No ICs with the Skyhammer Formation for Wargames Con.

We'll see you all here! Day 1 is already on and going.

Updates?

Who be winning??? Also is there a link for any live stream at the event?

I'm up 3-0 with my battle company ATM. I saw some knights up in the top tables with me. I haven't had much time to scout after games started.
There's a 10 year old girl competing as well. That in itself is awesome. Friend said she was playing chaos marines I think.

That's not what the internet said was supposed to happen. It was supposed to be all Eldar all the time. they're so OP they are supposed to beat everything else so easily that the game was just plain broken.

Well, to be fair, they are beating up on folks pretty badly and if you count the Dark Eldar with Eldar, they are the most represented army in the undefeted bracket. But, a lot of the most skilled players here are opting to do something different on purpose to prove a point.

Make no mistake, Eldar have the most pure power in the game without a doubt, but, they are not unbeatable. They have quite a vulnerability to reserve units such as pods or outflankers that can pack a big punch. Head to head though, even Crons just melt to them. You have to have a trick up your sleeve to deal with them.

All 3 Deldar players drew tough matches, though, so we'll see how many make it through to round 5.

That is actually pretty on point. Eldar and now Space marines are the top two armies IMO. Dont forget that this is an ITC event so eldar are actually toned down and still doing well.

Yeah, we limit the number of Wraithknights, which is the big thing. Plus, D weapons get toned down a bit, too. All the Deldar players got knocked out in very close games, last round. Super close games.

Finals is:
1st: Darkwyn: Scouts, Grav Cents and a Culexus
2nd: Pajama Pants with Orks and Daemons
3rd: Ben Mohlie with a Necron Deathstar
4th: Mike McKinney with a Min/Maxed Battle Company, Culexus and some Blood Angels

Go Big Ben !!!

Are Ben Mohlie and Ben Cromwell the same person?

And if not are their necron deathstars essentially the same loadout? (orikan + wraiths + solar staff)?

What Necron Deathstar is Ben running? Is it my fave Orikanstar?

What is in the pj pants ork/demon list? Sounds interesting

Can someone post what list the top 2 or 3 players had? Its crazy that the new space marines formation took 4th.

Sounds like this tourney was super rocking !!!

He had rec legion with lyches and zandrekh, destroyer cult, canoptek harvest, and then allied Orikan + immortals, so yeah Orikan. He ended up beating me in the finals mainly by going 2nd. He was pretty flabbergasted at how many units he had to kill from my army though.

No they are not.

No chance in getting lists for the top 4 is there?

Great event! We had a blast, it ran smooth, everyone was enjoying themselves. Couldn't ask for too much more.

Congratz to Pajama Pants for for winning tournament champion, beating Darkwynn in the finals, and to Space Curves for beating niv-mizzet to win Renaissance Man.

Could we get a peek at the lists?

Who or what are pajama pants?
