Greetings all you Colonians,


We have just secured the VFW in Clark New Jersey for the 2013 Colonial GT for 40k and Warmachine! The paypal account should be up and running and you can begin to prepay and register for the event. I want to personally thank you for your patience in this matter. The Colonial Packet will be updated to reflect the dates and changes with other tidbits and information that is needed for you to know. We sold out in a week last year so dont wait to purchase your ticket for the event!

The 40k area is upstairs this year, with Warmachine moving into the same building, downstairs. The drinks should still be $1.50, $5.00 a pitcher, with very cheap shots!


WHFB players, please DONT send in payments as of yet to secure your spots in November. That link will be provided very soon so you can do that.


I am very eager to see all of you at this event!

Woohoo!
I'm all registered, this is a great event, at a great venue!
I was there last year, and had a blast.
Cheap, Very Friendly, and has great prize support.

I'm looking forward to this.
Ted.

Paid for my spot. Can't wait

Hellz yea! I'm excited. Are there still $1 beers??!? If so i need to take the day off after the event so i don't have too much of a hang over.

I just signed up. Can't wait for the event!

Those $1 Yuenglings were awesome.

1$ beer and warhammer... o lord..im getting in trouble for sure. Cannot wait to get there!

I must say, I'd really like to attend this one. How are you about getting the age restriction lifted, and who should I contact regarding that?

Assuming I'd be allowed to play, I'm really looking forward to it

I'll be trying to attend again, I had only two criticisms leaving last year (which was a great event regardless), and Chris fully addressed both of them - you don't see that everyday, so he has my vote!

Any word on the scenarios yet?

Being worked out. They were playtested at our qualifiers this weekend.

Just signed up also, it's going to be awesome!

Not sure if this was brought up yet in this thread or posted somewhere else but I figured it wouldn't hurt to bring it up..

With the release of the Flyer Book (Death from the Skies) which by all accounts is an addendum to the rules and not just an expansion like Apoc/Cities of Death/etc. It will reportedly have updated rules for flyers currently in the game (Vendetta, for example) and expand the use of certain flyers to other armies (Storm Raven to Codex Marines and Black Templars) Will the Colonial GT be adhering to the rules in Death From the Skies, or will it be considered an expansion like Apoc/Cities/etc for the Tournament? With the speed (or lack thereof in some cases) that GW ships product out, most people who have ordered the book will have it in time for the tournament.

I personally haven't seen the book yet, I did however order one so I am not entirely sure what changes if any were made to any units.

I don't have an IPAd or seen it yet myself, however, the Colonial has a 30 day policy to stay in line with the "Orginal GT Feel" that we have. The other issue that you have pointed out, is any changes that are made with the general rules of flyers, again if any. It will be intresting to see.

So here are the missions, feed back is welcome since ultimately any good feedback can lead to a better event.

All Missions are structured in a “primary-secondary-tertiary” system. Each level of mission can earn you battle points. Deployment styles can be found in your 40k Rulebook.
Primary mission is worth 10pts
Secondary mission is worth 5pts
Tertiary is worth 3 pts.
There are 3 possible bonus points per mission for a maximum score of 21pts

Mission 1

Deployment style: Dawn of war
Primary mission: D3+2 objectives.
Secondary mission: Each of the following is worth 2 secondary points. . (Slay the warlord/Line breaker/First blood.) The player with the most secondary points wins this mission. The Legendary fighter warlord trait points and the hunt warlord trait points are added to these points.
Tertiary mission: Victory points.
BONUS: Marked for death. Before the game starts, choose 3 of your opponents units. These can be ANY unit in their army. Each of these units that you destroy is worth 1 bonus battle point.

Mission 2

Deployment style: Hammer and Anvil
Special rules: The game automatically starts as night fight. Starting on game turn 3 and every game turn after roll a dice. If the roll is a 4+ night fight ends.
Primary mission: The Relic (modified). Place one objective in the center of the table. This center objective follows the rules for the relic on page 131. The relic is equal to 3 objectives if controlled at the end of the game. Each player then places an additional objective in their opponent’s deployment zone.
Secondary mission: Kill points. You earn 1 kill point for each enemy unit you destroy.

Secondary mission: Each of the following is worth 2 secondary points. (Slay the warlord/Line breaker/First blood.) The player with the most secondary points wins this mission. The Legendary fighter warlord trait points and the hunt warlord trait points are added to these points.
Tertiary mission: Kill points
