  1. And this was where my inexperience with the system was giving me pause. I too was like upgrades unique to event I was also working with a scheme to replace line in the sand (being always availible) that was narrative driven.

     

    Pool size and game size was giving me fits. 

     

    Dan thanks again for taking this on! 

  2. Two questions:

     

    First, have I been warned in advance that the opponent can bring a revenant?

     

    Second, is it an impressivly painted, giant FW model that looks amazing?

     

    If the answer is yes to both, then it is in the spirit of the OFCC. I can enjoy a losing battle if my opponent has a great looking army and I knew in advance that this sort of thing could happen.

     

    I would be very angry/upset coming to an event that surprised me with the inclusion of the revenant. I would also be very annoyed if the opponent had a really lacking paint job on an obviously cheap converted revenant. Maybe it's vanity, but losing miserably to an army that looks just thrown together is very unsatisfying.

     

    As for killing the revenant, sure looks like it can be done on paper.

    PS: It would be perfectly reasonable for a TO to add a nerf to the Lords of War in the form of mission objectives, so long as this were known in advance. In example, you could award additional VP for the destruction of the enemy's LoW (in addition to the 1 per 3 HP lost). Perhaps 3 VP for a destroyed LoW. So, kiling a revenant (9 HP) would yield 6 VP, which would mean that merely holding an objective and killing the enemy revenant would likely be enough to win or tie. This wouldn't ban LoWs, but would make players reconsider bringing them and would make destroying them be part of list building. You could also remove the auto-lose with a wipe.

    Now there is an idea you don't auto lose to wipe against a lord of war

  3. I just say ban the shooty D. All other super heavies are cool with me. Id love to see stompas every where.

    Personally I want to see other super heavies and d is good when targeting them. I've been seriously considering playtesting STR D templates as D under the hole (considered a precision hit) with the rest of the template as. Str 10 ap 1. Seems to eliminate allot of the full unit wipe and makes those other Str 6 ish huge templates ignoring cover more of a choice to consider.

  4. Just wanted to say I voted based on an event not specifically OFCC. The big rule book has allies in the choosing forces section. I don't use allies. And won't but I would not support an event that eliminates them I like seeing most allies and I would prefer to put a hurt on those lists and peer pressure by showing those players a good time then exclude them. Join the other side you catch more with honey than vinegar and all that.

     

    Also I'm running sentinels of terra right now so who am I to judge. :)

     

    All that said I'd come to ofcc regardless of restrictions given time to prepare.

  5. Hey first tuesday ive been free for a while anyone up for some 40k? can play up to 2k points would love to play with one of the 20 thousand  people i haven't played with yet @.@ failing that im always up for some board game action and what not.

    Mike micktastic hasn't confirmed a game with me but I just realized I have a dentist appointment to finish my crown you can have my game I'll still show up but I might not be particularly ready to play...

  6. So based on some discussions with newer players I have encountered playing at the shop the monthly event this month will. Be 1250. Any one here on ordo planning on attending?

     

    Posting here is considered pre registration.

     

    Thank you for your time reviewing this and please consider playing the more the merrier!

     

    Main book, codexes, and supplements. Please retain from using data slates at this time.

  7. I was trying to get my head around the way the game plays now and what a good scheme would be as well. I was thinking. 70 ss of models, then allowing all the upgrades ie the upgrades don't count into the pool. If wanting to allow multiple masters maybe charge them at 10 ss in the pool and keep the upgrades out of the pool?

     

    I just really don't know due to the lack of game diversity around here.

  8. If you PM'ed me something Corey, I didn't get it.  I sent Jim a PM yesterday as well, not sure if he got that.

     

    I was a little hasty before, took me longer to copy paste had to switch from phone to tablet. It has been successfully sent now. Et me know if you haven't got it. Off to work now for me...
