Mr.MoreTanks

And this is a numbers game. Listen to the...reapplying HoG?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No.

I advocate not splitting it. They mesh well enough and more numbers is always better.

Its been over a week now since OFCC and I haven't been inundated with threads/posts about issues and how to fix it in the future or complaints about lists.

 

Did it really finally happen?

DAMNIT FLUGER! You've surely jinxed us!

Missed you this year bro.

Nice TSHFT glass there. ;)

Ordo Open Player’s Packet

Welcome to the Ordo Open ITC event.  Included within this packet are your missions as well as guidelines for you and your opponent.  Please refer to your packet before asking staff any questions.  Rounds will be 2.5 hours long and will run on a strict dice down rules set.  Players that do not reach at least 4 turns of game play may receive a warning at the judges and staff digression. Players failing to reach at least 4 turns multiple times may receive further consequences at the Judge’s discretion.

If there are only 20 minutes left at the end of the round, both players will immediately divide the remaining time into 10 minute halves.  Players will then complete the round within these time constraints or until the game comes to a natural conclusion.  If one player uses up their allotted 10 minutes before their opponent does, then their opponent may offer them as much of their remaining time as they wish in order to finish the game.  If the opponent does not wish to give them any of their own time then the game ends at the beginning of their next turn or any other natural conclusion to the game, whichever comes first.  When a player runs out of their time they may complete any actions they were in the middle of, such as a unit’s shooting or close combat, and then immediately end their turn. 

Event Schedule:

Check in: 0800 – 0930
Round 1: 0930 – 1200
Lunch: 1200 – 1230
Round 2: 1230 – 1500
Round 3: 1500 – 1730
 

Rules Questions:  Rules questions and concerns should be addressed in the following order.

1.      Warhammer 40,000 Rules

2.      Codex

3.      Games Workshop FAQ and Errata (Drafts are NOT in use)

4.      ITC FAQ and Errata

5.      Tournament Organizer Rulings

Note that ALL rulings made by Ordo Open staff and judges are final.  Even if they make a mistake!  If you ask a TO for a rulings before checking the rules, FAQs, or other sources that may answer your question, you’re stuck with the answer they give you.  This will apply only to that round though, if a Judge’s ruling is found to be incorrect later, then the correct version will be used in the remaining rounds of the event.

My Name__________________________________

Me too! Plus one more friend!

You know, I hear that Hog B loves terrain and drinking.  

I hear that he's cheap to buy.  

Just stuff I've heard...

I definitely want to pick up some of those walls. Hopefully you do enough to where you can sell some.

The Facebook event page is found through that link.  If you have any questions regarding the ITC you can familiarize yourself with the format on their homepage.  Feel free to message me as well if you have further questions.  

You're also much better off messaging me on Facebook to get a hold of me than you are messaging me on here.  I just usually check my Facebook far more often.

1850pts.

3 rounds - 2.5 hours each.   

Don't miss it guys!

Anyone?

Looking for Dreadnoughts.

Really want the old black reach ones, but I'm not too picky. Need about a dozen. Let me know what you have please!

Please send your lists in simple to read text formats.

DO NOT SEND US BATTLESCRIBE OR ARMY BUILDER FILES!! Please! They're all but impossible to read.

With this data set, I think promoting OFCC as a casual EVENT and not a tournament should bode well for it.

 

I'm also glad to see that only 25% of people like team games. God, I hate those.

From now on you're not allowed to play anything other than team games at any event I run.

i have missed it somewhere i am sure, butr the lists themselves are rated on what scale? 1-4? with a 4 being high?

Please, please, PLEASE! Read the OFCC primer section pinned at the top. Thank you!

White Scars get the Hunter's Eye, not Ravenguard.

Don't test that.

The hyperbole was in regards to your ITC comments.

I will do nothing to anger wife or scar children!!

I trust Keith with this promise about as far as I can throw him.

Moving aside the obvious hyperbole in your arguments, dumping more dice into a power is always a risk.

You increase your odds of a Perils, and Marines do not like that. And you'd be amazed the odds of failing a Lvl 2 power when you throw 5 dice at it looking for 4+. Happens fairly often.

So before this turns into another ITC opinion post, I'll answer your questions.

1. Yes you are allowed to deep strike out the back but are still bound to the rules of deep strike. The unit won't be able to assault. The locator beacon will not help because it explicitly states in its rules that it must be on the board at the start of the turn to offer benefits. If your flyer is coming in from reserves, it's not eligible to use is beacon.

2. It is definitely not a waste of points. Getting powers off on a 2+ vs a 4+ is an insane difference. Being able to do that and knowing 6 or more powers is extremely useful. It makes powers far more difficult to block as well. The conclave is arguably one of the best SM fornations out there, whether or not you're in the ITC format.

He takes it as a point of pride. So long as he doesn't get naked or barf on the kids, he should be pretty good.

What is stopping anyone from using any old SM and putting a unusual gun on it?

Nothing. That's what I'm going to be doing.

That's what I imagined. He's about primarch level of power. so if they are allowed, all's fair yes? I'm not taking him I'm just curious how that would work. I assume the whole of the army wuld have to be taken into account.

No primarch is that durable. Not by a long shot.

So, Pretre won, because of Objectives, not because he had you tied up in your rule book. Good to know he wasn't a dick.

No one said he wasn't. ;)

Had a blast!
