evil_bryan Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Welcome to the official post for the: Spring 40K Old School League - Getting FOC'ed This league is all about playing the game, and having a good time. It is also about altering the army building aspect of the game to limit the endless variety that currently exists in 40K. The sole purpose of doing this is to increase play and give people a different (or more familiar) take on playing this great game. Below you will find a list of rules and rules modifications. We are promoting causal game play. If your goal is to break the system and squeeze as much power out of these parameters, then this league is not for you. Please know that there are no assigned games or opponents, and bringing that gun to a knife fight will impact your ability to find a game.

scottshoemaker Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm in. Damn near impossible to get to Tuesday nights right now. I'd be looking for WoW meetups on Sundays, DAG on Monday nights, and open Wednesdays-Thursday evenings as long as you can host. Oh and Paid.

Torg Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 if I were to do harlequins… I don't have an HQ…. as per my in book force org. how is this going to be handled? (ie. if I were to take a strictly harlequin army rather than allied with either DE or CE.) -d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to run them with CE or DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to run them with CE or DE lol - was my point lol… ok so in the "old days" I had a harlequin "codex" which did have HQ and all that… which was my point. Anyhow, I got it - I will build a list using CE probably - or maybe DE. Now if I am doing this … Harlequin troupers are "troop" slots… etc. cool. I am clear - just wanted to make sure my clear lined up with whatever your clear is. :P -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Put me down.....gotta decide between necrons and ad mech. Is a "unique opponent" simply one you haven't played before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Is there going to be an ongoing thread set up to arrange games for this? Would like to jump in on this but im also trying to grow our AoS group with game sessions each month so I need to maximize my game time and be sure that I will actually have a game when I show up:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Put me down.....gotta decide between necrons and ad mech. Is a "unique opponent" simply one you haven't played before?Yes. In the league. So if you played me, Bryan, and Rogre; you'd have 3 unique opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threejacks Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 OK,,count me in.Just paid as well so PM if that didnt go thru. The achievement system looks fun to work toward but I dont see myself gettin nearly enough games in within the league time frame.Since I need to get back into playing now and then, ill just leave myself open for challenges:) Ill be running an idiotic SW list that was assembled around last years highlander league,so yeah..ill be running one of each various units and very little plan beside just plopping it down and picking it right back up again..herp derp.. Too bad theres no Highlander achievement,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Really thinking about getting out and playing in this league. I would kind of like a suggested point value, instead of it being so open ended, but that's my only complaint. I played a game in with this format at 1850 points and it was a blast and ended up being a very close game as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a game in with this format at 1850 points and it was a blast and ended up being a very close game as well. I had considered structured points value, but I was hoping a more open ended league would allow people more flexibility to play if they are new (or have a new army.) It could also allow for some crazy multi-game game nights at smaller point values. It would be pretty easy to line up a pair of lower point games in a single evening. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Im just gonna build a 1500 and a 2k list.Ive heared that 1500 may be more of a standard competative list in the near future anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limey_ElJonson Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 If only WOW was closer to the border. I'd be on this like pus on Nurglings. I love this idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 So the cult has Canticles of the Omnissiah which is based on the number of units on the table that have that rule. The skitarii have Doctrina Imperatives which only applies to models with that rule. So how should this be handled in the league? Do I keep them separate and use them both? or do I choose which one to have and assume that all models in the army have the corresponding rule?

My initial thought is to keep them separate, kinda like in the Dark Angels book where there are Ravenwing and Deathwing benefits that apply to different units in the book.

Treads-n-Wings Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I like this idea, I like it a lot. Players sign up for the league, and then contact other players and arrange individual games on their own, is that correct? And is it possible to arrange "make-up" games for the league if one can't make it on Tuesdays? 1500-1850 point lists are what I enjoy playing. 2000 point is possible too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanvoodoo Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I played a game in this format with my admech- I just merged the two groups but kept their unique abilities separate. It worked fine- the canticles are fairly underwhelming anyway- IMO One thing you may have forgotten, Bryan- the elimination of skyfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torg Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I may have a rough time making it in the first week or so - but after that things may be better. I will have to go over what I have and what I would have to do to make a list. I'm 85.4% in... -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 everyone thinking 2000pts? I was thinking 1750 or 1850… but I can go 2k. Just trying to figure out what I need to rebuild a decent harlequin force without building to many of the new things. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
