AgentP Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 We will be adding a three-round 8th edition rogue trader tournament to the OFCC schedule, to occur on Friday. General 1500 its. All units that have 8th edition stats are permitted. 3 rounds 3 color plus basing required - no exceptions, this is OFCC. Mission Determination Players roll a d6. On a 1-3, their mission will be from the Eternal War section. On a 4-6, their mission will be from the Maelstrom of War section. Players then roll another d6 to determine the individual mission within those sections. Whatever mission you roll, the following special rules apply to the following rounds: ROUND 1: Use the Night Fight Battlezone special rules found on pg 252. ROUND 2: Use the Cities of Death rules found on pg 260. ROUND 3: Use the Death from the Skies rules found on pg 268. FAQs GW FAQ in effect Tournament FAQ as follows: No understrength units allowed - you must field the minimum In determining who controls an objective, you do not count the number of models within 3", instead you count the number of current wounds of the models within 3" of the objective at the time you are determining who controls it. If playing the "No Mercy" mission, rather than getting 1 point for each unit destroyed, you get a number of points equal to that unit's power level (not points, power level). Players who finish deploying first, do not automatically go first. Instead, players roll off, and the highest roll gets to chose who goes first. The player who finished deploying first gets a +1 on the roll. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentP Posted May 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 1 hour ago, CaptainA said: ITC yes? Yes, it will qualify for ITC points. However, it is important to remember that this is still an OFCC event, so the expectation will be that sportsmanship in play, and list building, is priority #1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Timing-wise, is it going to be possible to do both this and the Kill Team event Friday evening? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the reasons I'm having 2 hour rounds, so that this can wrap in time for Kill Team 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkie Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Are the rules for this event available anywhere? I don't want to derail pretre's sisters of battle thread but some people appear to be aware that it's 1500 points. I am not among those people, but would desperately like to become aware. Little help? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I was assuming 1500 based on my conversations with Bronson, but I think it is still up in the air until we get a full drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I pinged Bronson, but I imagine he's working or something. I'll see him this weekend and bug him a bit. I want to know more about the format as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I want to test things first. Expect somewhere between 1500-2000. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cool. Leaning towards full painted/based? I've done my typical OFCC paint procrastination ritual and I'm trying to paint with an eye on both editions õ_0 Regardles, I'm really excited to stumble through this event!(figuratively and literally) Even though DE are kinda bland now. I miss my WWP already, but I'm sure I'll get it back when we get out of the index and into a book. It's really weird to see the difference between 1500 and 2000 on terms of what detachments you can bring. It's a [big bad swear word] load of HQs to try to farm command points, and that's really hard to justify at 1500. Though DE do have 7 point fast attack choices, so that kinda compensates... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figure it's worth asking, given the limited time frame. Mostly just want to use my hellions but no chance I'll have time for that.

SPaceORK Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 So where is the info for this? I'm desperately trying to complete my AoS army, but with all the distractions it proving difficult. Now with this tournament I wanna play but there is no way for me to get a second army painted. Hopefully the painting requirements are less.
