Current and future OFCC 40K Teams!

This thread will serve as the list of 40K Teams and their Saturday Challenges. For those of you who did not see it in the Player's Guide, each team can leverage a challenge against another team for each of their 3 Saturday matches. 

In order for a challenge to be recognized, both teams must agree to it.

Over the next few days I will start populating this first post with the Team Names and Captain Names to facilitate the process (once I start combing through the other threads, PMs, emails, FB posts, and all the other ways I have been notified of teams.)

If you want to bypass my impressive cataloging system then feel free to list the information below. 🙂

Team Diversity - Captain: Xavier319 (Sean)
Ordo East - Captain: Craeat (Robert)
Team Fate - Captain: Ash (Mike)
Team Fury - Captain: zcaust83 (Chris)
Infil-Traitors - Captain: WestRider (Alexis)
Warhamsters - Captain: VonVilkee (Corey)
Get of my LAN - Captain: Manethak (Troy)
Silence of the Warp - Captain: peter.cosgrove (Pete)
Kill! Maim! Beer! - Captain: Edosaurus Rex (Ed)
Fanger Zone - Captain: Chappy (Gary)
Team BDSM - Captain: PumpkinHead (Saul)
Team Ad Hoc - Captain: Frobakk (Todd)
Goin' Xenos - Captain: Dark Trainer (Matt)
Imperial Fist Bump - Captain: KAP (Karl) 
Team Plan B - Captain: BigTal (Joel)
Team Grim Drunk - Captain: Venom (Mike)

Yeah still, why the limit on troops? My old guard army with 3 platoons, (9 squads) would be illegal under these restrictions.

@necrontyr

The datasheet restriction was put in place to encourage list building diversity and was in place last year as well. 🙂

summoning @evil_bryan to the thread

I have been summoned!

@Munkie The Old School Achieve was indeed designed to limit selection from a single source, but it is just an achievement and not meant to restrict the building of your army. Does that clarify things?

Update!

The Guide now includes the process for Paint Scoring and the rubric for all scoring categories. 

@UselesswizarD and I are in a D&D game that is meeting tonight 🙂

I'll bring it up to him and send him your way @splinx

Does the 4 limit apply to dedicated transports? There are many factions that have smaller dedicated transports where more than 4 is common. 

Is there a reason this cannot just be reworded to be like GW official match play stance, but with rule of 4 rather than 3? That would remove confusion about this restriction.

@Arizenkin

In an effort to not completely rebuild the section, I made the following adjustment:

The number of times each datasheet can be included is 4 (6 for Troops and for Dedicated Transports)

I hope this helps in your list building 🙂 

D&D for me as well

Okay, time for a massive update!

First, I did print a ton of barrels for scatter terrain

Next, I decided this table would be more manageable as a whole if I built six 2x2 tiles. So I began the process of assembling and arranging everything printed to date.

Here is Tile #1 (each tile has two images):

Here is Tile #2:

Tile #3:

Tile #4

Tile #5:

The final tile is still in process (I am reworking the pipe tile), but here is a shot of the everything done to date.

FYI - Pete is in the shot for scale purposes only, I did not print him. 🙂

We have one, but the design is a lot taller and skinnier, since it was designed for an actual physical banner. I'll see if I can mess with it and get it to the right dimensions without distorting it too badly.

EDIT: OK, we got something workable:

Perfect!

OFCC Teams!!!

I am soliciting for digital banners to represent your team. These banners would be used during the event, on this site, on social media, and anywhere else chosen to display the glory of your team.

The banner parameters are as follows:

• The banner must be a JPG or PNG file
• The banner dimensions must be at least 500x600 or a multiple of that (1000x1200, 1500x1800, etc.)
• The banner must be family friendly (if you need to ask what means, PM me)

Here is an example:

Now, let those creative juices flow and show me those banners!

I am down for the Gaslands

There was an achievement for being the first fully paid team... and I'm between remodeling projects on the house right now... I got lucky! 

Congratulations on earning the Roll For Initiative achievement!

In the 3 months I have had it, I have had it running non-stop and burned through more than a dozen spools of filament.

Here is nearly everything I have printed for terrain (its a lot) 🙂

It's less about bending over backwards and more about what I can afford to buy at this point. I'm just getting back into the game, and like a doofus, I sold all of the stuff I had when I quit. So I'm building my army from scratch now, and I'm trying to work under a tight budget.

I say play what you want, and just come to have fun. If you ever worry about winning, achievements, scoring, or anything like that then let me share an important life lesson I learned 40 years ago. 🙂

It is a full on mini codex with warlord traits, special psychic powers and even the chapter tactics. It can be played as is without the marine dex. This would reopen the entire codex and index one source question for old school...

If that is a full on mini-dex, then it would not qualify for the Old School achievement.

Ordo won't show the flow chart, so a link is the best I can do:

https://images.app.goo.gl/aQwmXsmWbT2SYMJSA

Hopefully that works.

Basically, GW decided they were going to remove unit and wargear options that weren't available in their model range as they released codices (because converting models is bad, they're already perfect as is). The problem was, they didn't apply that logic to every codex, so some armies got restricted and some didn't. For instance, they removed hekatrix bloodbrides and trueborn when they released the Drukhari codex but they left conscripts in for Astra Millitarum.

This arbitrary process of limiting some armies and not others lead to some backlash within the community. So they made the above flow chart so that people could still use their models and be on an even playing field with GW's preferred armies. 

So it's a 2 part question:

1) Do you want to use the flowchart at all, or if your codex is released, the index options are invalid?

2) If we do use the flowchart, if there is a difference in points for the same piece of wargear between the index and codex, would you like us to pay index cost for index options, codex (updated) cost for index options, or whichever is more?

Thanks!

It look like that flowchart is part of the Designer Commentary, which is a current errata listed on the GW site. It is allowed! 🙂

Regarding points, I would defer to the top of that document which states; "Note that regardless of which datasheet you use, if you are playing a matched play game, or a game that uses a points limit, you should always use the most recently published points for your models and their weapons and wargear."

I have two questions: 

One, will the beta "Bolter Discipline" rule for Astartes be in place? I would assume the answer is no until the rule is made official, but I wanna check.

Two, for the purpose of the "Going Old School" achievement, do the Vanguard Primaris from the Shadowspear box count as coming out of the Space Marines codex, even though they come out of their own little mini codex? I know they basically integrate into regular Space Marines without having to take a separate detachment of them, so I'd assume so, but we know what happens when you assume...

Right now, I am leaning toward "no" on the bolter discipline. I will give it some additional time before making that call.

For the Vanguard Primaris, I would need to see the Shadowspear booklet to know for sure. I'll try and track one down.

Thanks for the updates!

Also, my question:

...appears to have been lost in all the side convos of page 1. 

What say ye?

 

I may need a specific example on this or more details (since the reference to the "flowchart" was lost on me.) 🙂
