Glad you could make it!   Everyone thanks for coming!  We had 8 players and theredepic and myself served as judges/teachers.  We'll do this again sometime in the summer methinks.

Just thought I would share this great site that helped me (and still does) learn which model looks like what.  With a gallery (missing a few newer units) full of pictures, names, and brief descriptions it's a super-handy resource.

Yes, they are Natural Allies, meaning up to 50% of the points of an Aquan fleet may be Terquai models.  HOWEVER the basic squadron minimums (one Tier 1, two Tier 3, etc) are met solely by Aquans.

Don't let eBay take 15% from me.  Yours for $30

Rumor has it!  I get it!

Top 8.  Cool!  Can't wait to hear more.

The Aquans are a very strong faction to play.  Their weapons systems are powerful and ships are very fast. 

Terrans I find too dependent on their shields for defense, and that can hit-or-miss (or is that shield-or-miss).

Dendrenzi are strong, and have a simple mechanic: point and shoot.

Relthoza are more nuanced, as their ships have stealth but they are weaker. 

Come play with us Feb 28 at Guardian Games.  Sign up here or on Facebook.

Lookin' to buy 10x Dire Avengers.  Have some IG stuff to sell: Commisar, some Cadian troops.

Ok I've tentatively decided to be "that guy" and bring 2x Wave Serpents with Holofields and 5x Dire Av.  400pt on the nose.  haha

Whoops!  Back to the drawing board...thanks!

I thought I could cast prescience on my own unit inside the tank (the vets he is riding with)?

I think so, there are objectives on the table to be scored it's not just kill points.  I might be better off with a Vendetta in this case, but like the idea of shootin' from the hatch!  I guess no one else is doing this format, but it seems really fun.  I'll report back here after the 'Con.

I'm headed to Adepticon for the first time this year for 40k and Firestorm Armada.

I'm playing this funny team tournament on Friday night.

 

Warhammer 40K Combat RAT Patrol is based on the well-received The Lost in the Warp Individual 'Team' Tournament format. Each player should bring a 400-point army chosen from a limited Force Organization Chart similar to those used by the Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol. Each player will be paired with a different teammate each round. Games last about 1 hour.

Let me sum up the rules basically:

• Force org: 1-2 troops, 0-1 of any other (HQ, fast attack, heavy, etc)
• Max AV 12 on any vehicle
• Max wounds/HP 3 on any model

My IG list will likely be as follows:

• Vet squad with Carapace and 3x plasma in Chimera
• Primaris Psyker riding with them (Prescience + plasma = fun times)
• Griffon Mortar
• 6ish Rough riders one of whom as a flamethrower (cuz awesome)

Any thoughts?  Has anyone done this event before or plans to do this year?

Glad you had fun!  Great report.

Sure. Just let us know closer to the event if you can make it. Along with your faction and experience level

Hi dudes!

We are organizing a special FSA game day at Guardian Games on Feb 28th from noon to 6pm. We're trying to give noobs a chance to LEARN and veterans a chance to PLAY. Here's the deets:

1. everyone will play two games that day, with a short break between

2. pre-assigned opponents based on skill level

3. someone will be there to answer questions

4. 600pt Patrol Fleets so your games will go quickly. That will generally be enough for one squad of each: tier 1, 2 and 3

5. Loaner fleets available for those interested but lacking their own ships

Sign up here by posting ...or on our Facebook group. Please indicate your faction and your skill level (how many games you've played).

Your organizers: Stoobert and Theredepic

Happy New Year! We're playing this Sat the 3rd @noon!

BORG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111one

I've made an ongoing reservation every Saturday at noon.

FYI, this weekend is the Guardian cup. There may not be enough tables for us. I'm going to show up at noon anyway. Hopefully we get lucky.

I booked two tables for this Saturday.  Who's coming?

No games this Sat for me, I'm out of town, but carry on without me.

@Peanut try this Terran list I PM you.

Available in 2015 - in all Wingstreet chicken wing to-go orders, promotional pieces for the "Wing Wing" chicken battle collectible minis game.

Hailed as a hilarious and legal form of humane cockfighting for your tabletop, the same maneuver system used in X-wing, Attackwing, and Dragon Wing will be used.

Made you look.  Just kidding.  This is a joke.

I've reserved 2 tables for next Sat Nov 8th.

More games this Saturday, 11/1 at noon.  We'll have at least one, probably 2 tables reserved.
