When is a good time to set up on Friday?

Flying MC's should have a limited firing arc

Just finished watching The Clone Wars getting ready for Rebels season 2 5/5. Very impressed with the story, characters and most importantly a good portrayal of Anakin. Next up: Agents of SHIELD season 2 when it comes to Nexflix on the 11th.

I might care but I refuse to support a team or sport that defends and protects a violent abuser.

GI Joe - Retaliation. 3/10. Cool explosions, not much else.

Boys before toys is indeed dead. Since the new book came out, I've never run a boyz unit without 'eavy armor. Add in a painboy and a warboss with a lucky stick (gives the whole unit WS5) and you've got a unit that will march right up the field laughing off thunderfires, wyverns and almost everything else as well. back them up with 1-2 units of 'eavy armored shootaboys as they move up. Warbikes are IMO the best unit in the book. The FW special character Zhadsnark allowed bikes to be troops and his rules are free to d/l from the forgeworld website. Don't be afraid of allies either, to make up some of the Ork's shortcomings. I've ran Tau, but mostly CSM. A nurgle bike chaos lord, with 5 nurgle spawn is a great complement to 15 warbikes with warboss and painboy on bikes. Shooty orks are great, but lootas now fight with mek guns for HS slots. Mek guns are amazing. the S8 plasma cannon will send marines running for cover, tracktor kannons to pull down those pesky flyrants and lobbas are still good against just about everything. wierdboys are not bad, as long as you use them to summon deamons. The Ork powers are...lacking. First summon should be pink horrors so that that unit can summon up other stuff. Deamonettes are my favorite as a complement to a CC ork army.

I like Saturday events. Sign me up.

I think I'll buy a skirmish case for my warmachine. Just to be that way.

Is there going to be a table/terrain competition this year?

I have not played in an OFCC in a couple years and I'd like to find a team! I have my Orks of course, also Tau and Blood Angels. Got a spot? I can get my ticket right away.

I can make it if I can find a team.

I've had no interested in these guys in a while. Looking to sell quickly if possible, if not I'll part out. Everything is assembled and bare plastic/metal unless otherwise specified.

Just a reminder. I have some extra stuff I'll add to the prize pool based on turn out.

$15 entry fee, retail boosters for prizes 150 Point ship faction pure - All cards on each ship must have matching faction. Sector conditions may be used. http://wizkidsgames.com/blog/2014/08/29/2014-wizkids-open-tournament-rules/ Independent flagships allowed - Independent faction cards allowed on ship with independent flagship with no faction penalty 3 rounds, 70min rounds All resources allowed No Admiral's Orders All ships through Wave 7, all OP prize ships

I've bought a few bones mini's, and so far I've been very happy with the model itself. I use a troll model as an Orc shaman and some ghosts for a spirit host. The two things I've found is that, despite the claims, do require primer and that cleaning mold lines is a real pain in the butt.

I know it's a long way off, but at this point I'd like to run a Star Trek Attack Wing event..x-wing is for rubes.

I've been using an aegis with lootas for a long time. Getting a 2+ cover save and hardly loosing any effectiveness is awesome. It's not as good anymore with all the Tau and Eldar ignore cover, but it's still fun.

I've been playing Tau allies with my Orks since the day 6th ed hit. I was using a pair of the old Broadsides, and they were a great complement to the Orks. Since the new Tau book, I've still used broadsides but mainly for additional skyfire. A few crisis suits with fusion guns are probably better now. I have more ideas, but finally have not been able to implement any of them. I'd like to run some CSM with a helldrake or some necrons.
