andozane Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thank you all for your patience as I have put together the below. As you will see, I have borrowed heavily from BAO and NOVA regarding design elements of how the 40K Open will be run this year. That being said there are differences in the composition, so please read carefully. ORDO FANATICUS 40K OPEN WHEN: Friday September 26th, 2014 RULES: 3 Game Tournament - 2.5 Hours Per Round 1850 Pt Armies ARMY COMPOSITION Maximum TWO Detachments, ONE of which MUST be CAD Your second detachment may be any of the current Detachments found in the 40K Rulebooks and Supplements up to the releases of Grey Knights and the Assassin Dataslate. 0-1 Fortification may be taken total from the following list(regardless of army composition, maximum of 1 fortification may be taken) Aegis Defense Line, Fortress of Redemption, Imperial Bastion, Promethium Relay Pipes ,Skyshield Landing Pad, Void Shield Generator, Firestorm Redoubt, and Vengeance Weapons Batteries Forge World Units and Lists are Allowed Lords of War - Are NOT allowed except for CODEX Special Character Lords of War Choices (at time of this writing, this only includes Ghazkull, Logan Grimnar, and Draigo). All models must be WYSIWYG All models must be painted (3 color minimum) and based (bases should be painted with texture or basing material added) SCORING Victory Conditions are scored per mission. Missions one and two have Primary and Secondary, Mission three has a Tertiary as well. Primary - The score is determined by who wins the primary mission objective. Secondary - Both players score the points gained for Secondary Tertiary (Mission 3 only) - The player who scores more Maelstrom points wins the points for the Tertiary (4) MISSIONSROUND 1 MISSION: Crusade (pg. 142) DEPLOYMENT ZONE: Vanguard Strike (pg. 131) VICTORY CONDITIONS: Primary - Winner receives 5 points, Tie 1 point, Loss 0 points Secondary Points- Slay the Warlord (2), First Blood (1) and LineBreaker (1) Warlord Survives (1) Warlord Survives - As read, if your warlord survives this engagement (is alive at the end of the game) you receive 1 Pt in the Secondary Points. SCORING: Primary (Circle One - 5 , 1 , 0 ), Secondary ( Enter Amount __ ) - Maximum 10 Points - FINAL SCORE ____ ROUND 2 MISSION: Big Guns and Fast Ships Never Tire (pg. 145) Special Rules - Follow all rules as listed in Big Guns Never Tire, but for the sake of this mission, the Primary Objective is modified. Instead of receiving 1 additional victory point for each Heavy Support Unit destroyed, you receive 1 additional victory point for each Heavy Support Unit AND Fast unit destroyed during the game. DEPLOYMENT ZONE: Hammer and Anvil (pg. 131) VICTORY CONDITIONS: Primary - Winner receives 5 points, Tie 1 point, Loss 0 points Secondary Points- Slay the Warlord (1), First Blood (1) and LineBreaker (1) SCORING: Primary (Circle One - 5 , 1 , 0 ), Secondary ( Enter Amount __ ) - Maximum 8 Points - FINAL SCORE ____ ROUND 3 MISSION: Purge the Alien (pg. 143) DEPLOYMENT ZONE: Dawn of War (pg. 131) Special Rules: All rules for Purge the Alien are used, with the addition of the below Tertiary Maelstrom Objectives. Starting with the second GAME TURN, at the beginning of each PLAYER TURN, the player whose turn it is will roll twice on the below table (reroll duplicates). Make note of these rolls. At the end of each PLAYER TURN the player earns 1 pt. per Maelstrom Objective below. The player with the most Tertiary pts at the end of the game wins the Tertiary Victory Condition Points(4). VICTORY CONDITIONS: Primary - Winner receives 5 points, Tie 1 point, Loss 0 points Secondary Points- Slay the Warlord (1), First Blood (1) and LineBreaker (1) Tertiary Points (see above) - 4 points Maelstrom CHART 1. Assassinate - Score 1 point if at least one enemy character was removed as a casualty during your turn. 2.

FAQ Q: Can you score multiple "Maelstrom" objectives off of one event/action? A: Yes. i.e. as these are conditions you are meeting. So, as an example, if you rolled a 4 and 6, and during your assault phase you killed the enemy Warlord, you would achieve both conditions, thus gaining 2 Maelstrom points from that one "event". Q: When are lists due, and where do we send them? A: Lists are due day of Tourney and will be reviewed upon check in for legality. Please be sure to bring all pertinent rules with you, and an extra army list for registration. Q: Same faction allies allowed? A: Yes, Same faction allies allowed. Q: Will the 40K Open be part of the ITC? A: Yes, we have joined this to the ITC http://www.frontlinegaming.org/community/frontline-gamings-independent-tournament-circuit/ For a full download of the 40K Open Packet, please follow this link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingpin Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Off to the painting table. I still need to paint half my OFCC army and just about all of my ordo open army.... Going to be a couple of fun months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Going to be a couple of fun months For some reason, I thought it was in August. Duh. I was about to correct you and then realized that I'm silly AND I have a lot more time to tinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 So question for the FAQ number one: can you score multiple "Maelstrom" objectives off of one event/action? If I roll a 1 and a 6, can I kill the enemy warlord and earn 2pts? If I roll a 1 and a 3, can I kill an independent character with shooting and earn 2pts? Etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Bought my ticket. Eager to hear the answer for AP's question as well. I'm guessing 'yes'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 When are lists due, and where do we send them? Good question. Ando had talked about list submission previously, but I don't think we got a final answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I believe it is day of. Its an open, so just make sure you meet the req's if not, your list will need to change day of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have updated the initial post with a FAQ so far. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 FAQ Question: Are we using BAO's FAQ? http://www.frontlinegaming.org/community/40k-faq/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I kinda hope not. BAO changed a lot of the rules for reasons that don't really seem to be apparent at all. Some of them make sense, of course, but I was not terribly happy to find a bunch of "surprises" in there right before the tournament that drastically altered the way certain units functioned.

andozane Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah, I started looking at the BAO FAQ and realized I was going to have to take some time to really dig through it. I hope to have an answer to that in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 So here's what I think are the most relevant questions to be answering. A lot of the stuff from BAO is either unnecessary (the rules already answer the question, the FAQ just points out the correct answer) or rules changes (i.e. overwriting existing rules) and thus probably not needed in a FAQ. However, there is a bunch of stuff in there that you could take a page from. Does a Necron Overlord retain his Independent Character status when he becomes the rider of a Command Barge? Can a Necron Overlord benefit from the Jink save of his Command Barge if the hits are allocated to him? Can the Command Barge benefit from his 3+ invulnerable save from a Phase Shifter if the hits are allocated to it? Can "shooting" abilities which require Line of Sight, (I've Been Expecting You, Mind in the Machine, Master of Mechanisms) be used while inside a transport, assuming it has fire points or is open-topped? Can a character with the Infiltrate rule join a unit without the rule in order to deploy via that method? Can Commissar Yarrick be selected as a warlord despite having both the Senior Officer and Chain of Command rules? If Markerlights or other weapons that have an effect on a hit are fired at a model protected by a Void Shield, what happens? Can a model use a Target Lock in combination with Overwatch fire to shoot at a unit that is not assaulting? Can a model benefit from both Psychic Focus and Chaos Psychic Focus? That is, can a Daemon of, say, Nurgle get its "free" power from the Plague discipline, roll twice on the Biomancy discipline, and then also get Smite for "free"? If not, is there a choice involved or is the model forced to benefit from one or the other version of psychic focus (could I choose to take Smite over Stream of Corruption, or vice versa?) When casting psychic powers, can multiple psykers in the same unit attempt to manifest the same power? If not, does this allow them to "share" powers as per the wording of the psychic phase? If a unit is under the effect of Invisibility and the enemy has a special rule or wargear that allows them to hit on a particular number (e.g. Kharn the Betrayer, etc), which ability takes precedence? How does Look Out, Sir! interact with wounds from a Destroyer weapon? If I suffer a hit that causes three wounds, to that particular model, are each of those wounds re-allocated individually (potentially killing three separate models)? If a unit contains a combination of Bikes and non-Bike models, is it able to Run, Turbo Boost, neither, or both at the same time? Which attacks/shots does the Strikedown rule that superheavy vehicles and gargantuan creatures have apply to? Can the Warp Storm table affect units which are embarked on a building or transport vehicle? Can Kairos Fateweaver ever generate psychic powers from the Daemonology discipline? If so, how is this done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Might want to update the first post since Logan is a LOW but not Bjorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I just noticed that the wording seems to preclude weird allied detachments (assassin, knight, etc.). Is that intentional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Which wording exactly? No, not intentional...please let me know as that is not the intent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 For your second Detachment, you may select from one of the following: CAD, Allied Detachment or a Formation. Strictly as written, it is not legal to field a Knight detachment, Assassin detachment, Great Waaaaaagh detachment, Wolves Unleashed detachment, etc, etc, as these do not fall into any of the categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yeah probably putting a CAD plus another non-cad detachment or formation should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Or just let it be any two detachments you want. The big no-no is allowing two CADs (or CAD-like detachments), and since that's already legal I don't see any reason to limit what specific combinations of detachments are included. Bringing a CAD or CAD-like detachment is essentially required if you want to properly fill the points, anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 True. Any two detachments would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von hammer Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 What's the start time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blustorm Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 What's the start time? I believe registration for most of the OFCC Friday events starts at 9am, followed by the start of round one at 9:30am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
