I was wondering if you will be running a 40K tournament at the Bash this year?

**bluetony**

There will indeed be a 40K tournament this year. We're still finalizing the players pack and tournament details, and I'll post again when these become available.

Thanks!

It's been posted on the hosting store's forum that there will NOT be a 40k event this year: http://z6.invisionfree.com/Scifi_Genre_Forums/index.php?showtopic=10382

I can understand the organizers wanting to cater to their primary audience. Brawler Bash was always a Fantasy event first. It was only last year that they first added 40k anyhow. If they really don't have the space for 40k with the fantasy side expanding then I am fine with it being dropped. Better to acknowledge the limitations of the space up front, than to run a cramped 40k event in the corner where nobody has fun.

You didnot read the first part of my statement,they could hold it the week after or before.

Unless y'know the venue has another event going on those weekends, which is not out of the realm of possibility for a busy store like Atomic. I'm fairly certain the organizers also have lives outside of running the Brawler Bash, and thus might not be able to take extra weekends off.

**patrickekirby**

I disagree i have been there enuff lol,they can do it hell the next month,it is just to me during the summer the best time to make more money and stuff you got a huge 40k base in north carolina and the area in general,you cannot get a big tounry lol to me that is like they donot want ot have it

Seems like sour grapes to me.

Run your own event if there's so much money to be made.

Is Dale still involved in that area? The reason I ask is because nearly all the terrain from last year's (40K side) Brawler Bash was his and he was instrumental helping to run the event. Without him, who else was there willing to fill the vacancy?

I've since moved away, but last I heard Dale no longer runs the tournaments at the store, and he's handed the reins back over to Shane and the staff. That could have something to do with it.

It seems Mr. Kirby's prayers have been answered. From the Atomic Empire forums:

After checking the store's availability and the tournament schedule for other 40k events, I'm pleased to announce the next 40k grand tournament. It will be held the weekend of July 26 and 27, 2014 at Atomic Empire. There will be five games, three played on 7/26 and two on 7/27. The point value is 1850 and each game will have a three hour time limit. Hard stops will be enforced because of time restrictions.

Because the 40k playing landscape is changing so rapidly, I'm keeping this tournament simple. To that end I'm using 6th edition rules and FAQs even if Games Workshop releases a new rules set before the tournament date. Furthermore, Escalation, Forge World, Lords of War, and data slates will not be allowed. In a previous post (http://z6.invisionfree.com/Scifi_Genre_Forums/index.php?showtopic=10292) Shane delineated which rules from Stronghold Assault the store would use and I will abide by his decision. Additionally, the only fortifications allowed are those from the 6th edition general rule book, i.e., Aegis Defense Line, Imperial Bastion, Skyshield Landing Pad, and Fortress of Redemption.

At present the following codices and supplements are permitted:

Adepta Sororitas
Black Legion
Blood Angels
Chaos Daemons
Chaos Space Marines
Clan Raukaan
Dark Angels
Dark Eldar
Eldar
Farsight Enclaves
Grey Knights
Imperial Guard
Inquisition
Iyanden
Necrons
Orks
Sentinels of Terra
Space Marines
Space Wolves
Tau Empire
Tyranids

I acknowledge that these restrictions will not please everyone, but they exist to assist me in my role as tournament organizer. I ask for your understanding and cooperation as I continue to learn the nuances of GTs.

I will post additional information once the specifics have been finalized. Hopefully I am allowing enough time for people to prepare for the event.

Regards,

Dale
