FoW - 2500pts? Brits, Reds or Japan - It would be around 5:45ish before I can get there. If it doesn't work no worries.

I just made that my new rule #1.

I'll spare you the story but I guess Corey could tell it - he seems to have things sussed out. I have a busy week ahead and am starting behind. Hope to see you all next Tues. Loren I salute your fortitude, sir. I don't know how you made it to the table. It's been years since I was that ill.

Regrettably I won’t be able to make it down tomorrow. I’m still recovering from food poisoning and not entirely up to the task, I’m afraid. Please have Dragos crawl into the wagon and almost die for the evening (lots of moaning and complaining) or roll for him as we did for Bloody Tom in Jim’s absence. I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience but these last few days have been full of disappointments. Disappointments and vomit.…Well then, that about covers it, I guess.

Thank You Mr. Bigglesworth!

Yeah. Pretty much. I'm riding that little skyboard just as far as GWs insanity will go. In all fairness LVO "nerfed" the 2+++ to a 2++/4+ .....yeah.

So as the headline indicates, I, an admitted 40k rookie with all of 4.36 months of game experience, have managed - with a great deal of help from my friends in the WarHamster community - to get a list made, an army build and painted to 4-5 color standard and practice games in for the Las Vegas Open 40k Tournament The tournament is this weekend and I would now like to throw myself at the mercy of the Greater Ordo Community by soliciting any and all advice. This will be my first tournament. I am also looking for advice that pertains to running the jetseer council in the current meta. I’m running 2 stock farseers& 8 warlocks on bikes with the Barron out front. I have 5 Wyches in each of 2 venoms w/ haywires and 4 of the warlocks have singing spears. Help? List is as follows: (feel free to make suggestions but at this date I can’t change too much.) 1750 Pts - Codex: Eldar Roster Total Roster Cost: 1747 HQ: Farseer (1#, 120 pts) 1 Farseer, 120 pts = (base cost 100 + Eldar Jetbike 15) + Singing Spear 5 HQ: Farseer (1#, 120 pts) 1 Farseer, 120 pts = (base cost 100 + Eldar Jetbike 15) + Singing Spear 5 : Warlock Council (8#, 420 pts) 1 Warlock Council, 0 pts 1 Warlock, 55 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) + Singing Spear 5 1 Warlock, 50 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) 1 Warlock, 55 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) + Singing Spear 5 1 Warlock, 50 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) 1 Warlock, 55 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) + Singing Spear 5 1 Warlock, 50 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) 1 Warlock, 50 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) 1 Warlock, 55 pts = (base cost 35 + Eldar Jetbike 15) + Singing Spear 5 Troops: Dire Avengers (6#, 200 pts) 5 Dire Avengers, 65 pts = 5 * 13 1 Wave Serpent, 135 pts = (base cost 115 + Holo-Fields 15) + TL Starcannons 5 Troops: Dire Avengers (6#, 200 pts) 5 Dire Avengers, 65 pts = 5 * 13 1 Wave Serpent, 135 pts = (base cost 115 + Holo-Fields 15) + TL Starcannons 5 Troops: Dire Avengers (6#, 200 pts) 5 Dire Avengers, 65 pts = 5 * 13 1 Wave Serpent, 135 pts = (base cost 115 + Holo-Fields 15) + TL Starcannons 5 Troops: Windrider Jetbike Squad (3#, 51 pts) 3 Windrider Jetbike Squad, 51 pts = 3 * 17 Troops: Windrider Jetbike Squad (3#, 51 pts) 3 Windrider Jetbike Squad, 51 pts = 3 * 17 HQ: Baron Sathonyx (1#, 105 pts) 1 Baron Sathonyx (HQ) [DE], 105 pts Troops: Wyches (6#, 140 pts) 5 Wyches (Troops) [DE], 60 pts = 5 * 12 (base cost 10 + Haywire Grenades 2) 1 Venom [DE], 80 pts = (base cost 55) + Splinter Cannon 10 + Grisly Trophies 5 + Night Shields 10 Troops: Wyches (6#, 140 pts) 5 Wyches (Troops) [DE], 60 pts = 5 * 12 (base cost 10 + Haywire Grenades 2) 1 Venom [DE], 80 pts = (base cost 55) + Splinter Cannon 10 + Grisly Trophies 5 + Night Shields 10

Unfortunately I can't make this because of a prior commitment but it sounds like loads of fun!

I'd like to go as well if anyone has an open spot on their team.

Done! I'm headed down to DTG shortly. If there's time before 5:30 I'm up for X-Wing and I'm bringing Tsuro to try for the 1st time. Then, after Corey wipes me out I'm looking for an intro game of Davastation of the Indines with Brad.

I'm in - however the details shake out.

Jim - I'm playing Corey @ 5:30. I can offer next Tuesday, 2000pts ?

Hey TW - You should play KingBlackrot!

...yeah, a storage problem! :)

WooHoo! Bring it! Can't wait to see what you've got - All I ask is that you explain how you obliterate me afterwards and how I might avoid that at LVO ;). Also can you email me a copy of the list after the game or bring one with (print or electronic)? EDIT: If today's painting goes as planned, ours will be the first game I've ever played with a fully painted army. <cheers>

Games ...A Lot

Thank you sir - that's great! Merciless smashing is what I need to prepare for. Are you cool with: Crusade (4pts) and Emperor’s Will (3pts): Dawn of War Deployment. There are always 3 Crusade Objectives placed outside of either player’s deployment zone. Emperor’s Will objectives are placed in each player’s own deployment zone. I will have terrain set. 5 or 5:30?

Don't I know it! Man is it ever tough to cram a fun game into that framework.

LVO - Las Vegas NV - Feb 7-9 GottaCon - Victoria, BC - March 1-2 Adepticon - Chicago, IL - April 3-6 Slam in the ham - Bellingham, WA - TBD Corey's Every 3rd Saturday 40k Tournament @ DTG

I'd love a game of 40k at 1750. I'm running an Eldar/Dark Eldar SeerCouncil and prepping for LVO. Any of you tacticians want to make a trade? In exchange for a chance to test drive your favorite beatface tournament army against the Eldar jet-seer council I'm looking to trade for some advice against common builds in the current meta. Bad dum dum. dum. Still, I promise a good game! Anyone Interested? Andy?Kevin?Corey? I'm looking to play Devastation of Indines afterward too <Stares at Brad... and the pig.>

It was decided that it would send the appropriate message to frame the patsy goblins in the next territory. Again... Bad.Idea.

light genocide. The puns, oh the puns!

There are things I did in Pathfinder tonight that I feel... ... ... chaotically neutral about. Then there was the Mai Lai of the 7-Tooth Goblin Clan. <hangs head>. Bad. Idea. Well, Bad ideas period - my character's biggest flaw by far!

Yeah! And I made a change to Chaotic Neutral. It fits the character I want to play and am currently writing better.

That's a very good question! I wondered that too. Rangers + Reapers + Quad gun & Ageis = alive at the end. I can only conclude that 1) there were so many points on the board it got lost in the fog of war or 2) I wasn't using it effectively enough for it to be seen as a major threat. After a few days to reflect I can see why this is a once or twice a year thing and I can definitely say I'm up for the next one.
