I am heading down Friday in the early AM from Lynnwood, north of Seattle. So I can be a backup if no one else answers your call.

I don't have a room for Thursday evening, which is why I'm departing in the pre-dawn hours before gaming all day Friday and getting my room for Friday night and Saturday.

Probably the same reason I'm bringing my Rated '1' Inquisition/IG list to the Friday event: practice and the challenge of it all.

Par for the course for when I was a Sisters player. I have no iPad, so the digital Codex might as well not exist for me.

If I knew they were leaning this way I would have made my 'Guaranteed to be a 1 Rating' OFCC list to be the old Codex Ghazghkull TellyPorta list with as many Deep Striking units of Grots as I could cram in.

But I thought because folks stopped using Green Tide since it wasn't in the newer Codex Ghazghkull that un-reprinted Codex Formations were verboten.

Guess I was wrong.

I'm almost finished building all the stuff I have left to paint.

Just gotta slap a ridiculous amount of purity seals on a land raider when I get home, and then the priming shall commence!

I remember the speech my Probability and Statistics professor gave on the first day.

"There are those of you here who are Math majors, you'll end up getting a 'B' in this class. Then there are those of you recognize you can use this knowledge to screw over other people for the rest of your life, You'll get an 'A' in this class."

I got an 'A'.

Most of my team is driving down early Saturday morning.

When is the Team Event scheduled to start so I can let them know when to show up?

And someone on my Team had to drop, but we've got a replacement lined up.

So: whowhatwherewhenwhyhow?

I challenge all comers to take on my Inquisition/IG list!

Practically no models with better than a 5+ Save! (OK, Servitors and Inquisitors, but other than that....)

Arcoflagellants in a Land Raider!

Flyers? Who needs 'em!

T3? You bet!

First ruling on page 1 about Techmarines with enough bonuses auto-repairing flies in the face of "a 'one' always fails" from the main rule book, but whatevz

We'll see.  Honestly, if I can't use my right hand at all (assuming I'm recovering from surgery) I won't be able to drive down either...

 

Stupid body.  

Gee, if only there was someone who gave you a ride back from OFCC before who could do chauffeur duty again...

Oh yeah... me (if you need it).

Or a nice, friendly Umbrella Corp logo while you're at it.

A box with three new Space Marine flyers!

And they're even more streamlined than usual.

Instead of 'Krump all Beakies' you could use the same thing for 'Calm reasonable debate'.

I'm planning to go to the Friday event and get some experience with my OFCC Inquisition and IG list (can have a rating negative 1 for an Army List?) and see if I can be the Cellar Dweller of the day.

Least number of battle points, here I come!

Remember this was asking about re-rolling the 'extra' Gets Hot dice for Plasma Cannons.

Regular plasma with a re-roll would still get their re-roll due to Prescience, Preferred Enemy, etc.

Do you know what the armies are for the rest of Team Null?

I want to know whether or not we can have a viable theme and if they're all 'Bad Guy' armies then I'll swap to the multiple units of potentially-deepstriking Gretchin and Kaptin Badrukk with a unit of Flash Gitz backed up by Trukk Boyz.

Or if there's an Imperial theme, do you have a copy of the most recent Codex: Inquisition? After I posted I realized I only have the old Grey Knights Codex, not the latest digital-only version.

Being as I've been to OFCC before, we could Voltron on up, (Megathrusters are on, Dynatherms are go) and I'll form the head.  Fluger or you or others who remember me could second my Captain-cy and we'd be good to go.

Since I didn't have a team name, I put 'Null' in the Team name space when I bought my ticket, so guess we could all wear grey and be "Team Null."

I can probably even drive down to Olympia between now and then and give the kids a Grandma Day so we can all meet in person.

Hmm, I'll have to take a Level 1 list and eat a few bad match-ups so the rest of Team Null has a good first OFCC experience, so at least that means I can field that unit of Arcoflagellants I've always wanted....

And since I live North of Seattle and plan to drive down I can probably help them carpool as well.

Just paid for the weekend, so add me to the 'Looking for Team' list as well.

I've been to four OFCC's and have been procrastinating buying my ticket because my old gaming group splintered.

I play Orks, Grey Knights/Inquisition Skitarii/Ad Mech and Sisters of Battle

Does any of that fit your needs?

The Orks languished for a decade without a codex, but I would like to see a new hardcopy Sisters Codex.

I was an 'early adopter' and kitbashed models with the Axe of Retribution and other unique wargear options back when maximum unit sizes were 7 models.

I was hoping to use that FOC to have a random number of teleporting units of Grots at OFCC.

150 deepstriking grots...

I see zero problems with this plan.

...except the FOC is fom an oler book now.  Oh well....

I'm annoyed with the amateur hour of 'Nothin'-but-Beekies' players trying to tell us about how to use the new rules on the big clickbait popular commentary/news sites.

I may show up at this one. 

Here's a silly list 'Looted' from the TSHFT winner:

Ork CAD 1:

550 HQ/LoW - Big Mek special character w/Mek Stompa and all the upgrades

110 HQ - Big mek w/4++ KFF

 70 TROOPS - 2x 10 Grots

225 HVY - 3 x 5 Mek Guns: Kannons

150 FORT - Full Void Shield Generator w/Aegis Line

Ork CAD 2:

 60 HQ - Big Mek w/Fixxer Uppers

 70 TROOPS - 2x 10 Grots

225 HVY - 3 x 5 Mek Guns: Kannons

Formation: Mogrok's Bossboyz

 85 HQ - Big Mek w/Shokk Attack Gun

 85 HQ - Big Mek w/Shokk Attack Gun

 85 HQ - Big Mek w/Shokk Attack Gun

 65 HQ - Warboss w/Bosspole

 70 HQ - Weirdboy Warphead (Lv 2 Psyker)

1850 points on the nose.

All I need is the 3rd SAG Mek, and to kitbash the VSG.... and all 30 Kannons... and all the Grot Krew.... and the Mek Stompa.

But, other than that....

I've had my eyes on those too, but knowing I could go to JoAnn Fabrics, get three wooden cones and Greenstuff a spiral on 'em and stick 'em on a tube and be 90% of the way there for 10% of the price has held me back....

That and my life being so proscribed and interrupted that I can't find the time to build them, much less paint them.

I voted for 'No Doubles" because I want to play my army when I play, not a combo of me & random-fill-in-the-blank since my old gaming group scattered to the winds and I'd end up in a day-of pairing with another loner, most likely.  (I've got assaulty Orks and need to get stuck in right away... oh, you've got reserve shenanigans that mean I'll be the only targets for enemy shooting the first two turns?  What a fun time I'll have putting my models back in the box, I guess...)

I used to get to at least one tournament a month and was a solid upper to middle-of-the pack player (It may be hard at the top, and it's even harder at the bottom, but in the middle it's so hard you could use it for nails).  So where I would have qualified for the extra .5 rating before, I am now sufficiently out of practice and have enough previous edition hangovers to drop me solidly into the casual camp.

Now I am scheduling weekend childcare months ahead of time to get to any of these events, at most once every three months, (but my last event was the January TSHFT) and finally playing games where I only get to interact a quarter of the time?  No thanks.

I missed last OFCC due to covering for my wife's medical issues and it's looking like TSHFT in January may be the next time I can schedule a gaming weekend.  The current Captain matching system is good when all involved realize the point is to arrange good games.  A couple years ago at OFCC I swapped players with a a guy whose army I knew I'd take apart by simple target priority (and therefore not a fun game for him) for a guy (definitely a plus .5 rating) who set up two thirds of the terrain in my deployment zone for his shooty & reserve shenanigans army.  The fact that he slow-played (forty minutes left and we just finished one and a half turns) added to the 'delight' of a game I felt like table-flipping before any models had been deployed.  In retrospect I should have said 'OK, now set up the terrain like a human being while I go for a walk to blow off steam for five minutes' rather than let a "Dude, whatever" attitude lead me down the slippery slope into the worst game I've ever played.
