PumpkinHead Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 What is allowed at your tournys? Dataslates, escalation, stronghold, FW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Right now I blatantly Steal what Frontline is doing. No escalation, no stronghold assault, data slates will be okay (I'm thinking no more than two codexes in one army be it via allies or slates) at 1250 I don't see it being a problem and keep in mind that this is to get out and play and on the participation piece I have reserved the right to revoke tickets this could be linked to making abusive lists. My recommended check is would I be willing to trade my opponent armies and play against this myself, if the answer is no figure out why and fix it! We are all slightly different I want people to just come out join the community and play. :) Also FW is totally okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 No 2k games? That makes me sad... I like 2 FOCs lol. I may drive the 2.5 hours up to a few of these events. I have yet to see the new Dark Tower location! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see the new Dark Tower location! 2k games are not quite fast enough sadly, not everyone ignores whole swathes of the current rules like I do! I play drop pods no flyers, no fortifications, and no psykers makes for a decently quick game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would drive up to the Ham just for another game against it! So I assume Stronghold Assault and Escalation are allowed for these events then?

I misread his last post. I thought he said "Everyone ignores whole swathes of the current rules unlike I do". Looks like no Baneblade for me, lol.

VonVilkee Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm toying with for later in the year. Might emphasis Might do a two game day with escalation rules at 2000 I'd need pretty heavy interest as those rules sets are specific.

Might emphasis Might do a two game day with escalation rules at 2000 I'd need pretty heavy interest as those rules sets are specific. Not sure about Escalation, but I highly recommend Stronghold Assault, even if only for the updated Building Rules. They make more sense and work more smoothly than the BRB version. Honestly, it's a pretty reasonable book overall, except for the D Forts and some issues with Void Shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 What is the "Slam in the Ham" event? Is it going to be larger than the others? I'm probably only driving up there once or twice this year, and don't want to miss the major tournaments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thank you so much for posting the dates ahead of time, along with the point values. I realize that seeing me game is akin to seeing a leprechaun riding a unicorn over a rainbow bridge leading from the Shire to Narnia in order to meet Han Solo and Chewbacca for some zany adventures in the World of Greyhawk, but this helps planning immensely. Appreciate it! Stay safe, don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I would also like to see 2k events later in the year, as we approach the OFCC season. That is, of course, assuming the OFCC is 2k again. If not, disregard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 1250 was FUN!Small enough to take 12 scoring units and do well. Edit: By units, i meant assault marines. Balls to the wall fast games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 AmI reading this right? 2 flying hive tyrants are -7 points straight up? Ouch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 AmI reading this right? 2 flying hive tyrants are -7 points straight up? Ouch.They are pretty mean right now... Big thing to remember is that this is about trying to take the nukes outta the game you still have some play room there and I'm not being strict on it I think overall this is gonna be helpful. If everybody is around the same point The exact Math doesn't matter... Haven't done the Math myself on the nids but that would leave room for one more fmc if no other points were hit, or a few less severe options which is about right, not perfect but about right :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 For those of you that check this all the time, I put in a brawl mission from 2013 Fubar. It features deep striking chosen mysterious objective result objectives (one per player and replaced first blood bonus point, spite the foe control their placed objective). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter c Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hey guys, Hoping to make it to the 1850 on April 19th, also to bring another player or maybe two from the San Juans for the day. I'm wondering what you are going to do about the new Guard codex -? Will both codex be playable, just the new, just the old, etc.? Timing on the tourney is cutting it close to release date. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'll go with allowing both, but as there is a time frame I'd strongly recommend old for speed of play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbitron Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 AmI reading this right? 2 flying hive tyrants are -7 points straight up? Ouch. 4 points. 2 for 2 tyrants. 8 wounds = 1. C-1 means 1 point since you have one beyond the first. The first tyrant would be 1 for being a Tyrant. Since the other costs are cumulative, he's only 1 point. C-1 means the first doesn't cost, but after the first you add a point (cumulatively). The second tyrant brings you over 4 wounds, +1 for being a FMC, +1 for the cumulative cost. Adding a Harpy/Crone would add +1 for 5 wounds (the total now being 13), and +2 as it's the third FMC. So then you'd be at your 7 points.
