tournament packet added. Look forward to seeing people there.

update prize support info.

Quick update. They changed the day for me on the individuals tournament. It is now on Friday instead of Sunday.

Hello all, I'm going to be running the warhammer 40k tournament again this year at PAX. I'l have tournament information and such up here as well as answer any questions that come up on dakka, and elsewhere. I'm still hammering out details as I go, and looking forward to reports from upcoming events, such as BAO. Following will be at least the rough who, what, when, and where for everyone to start planning. Who: Two parts to this actually. For the team tournament, you and a friend each get 1000 points of army together. Think up a cool team name, and bring all associated army rules for the game. There will be no ally restrictions, so if you've always wanted to bring that Tyranid/Tau duo force to take on that ultramarine/daemon army. (Following the proscribed BAO combined arms detachments rules, allowing same codex formations, but not additional allies.) After all, you already have an ally. Singles tournament: Just bring you, all associated army rules, and your 1500 points of army. What: The prize you ask? Winner of the single tournament will get a golden ticket for a TSHFT tournament, Doubles tournament winner will each get a model case from mantis models, (see link below). Cost is simply the ticket you purchased for PAX in the first place. When: Singles tournament will be Friday August 29th, also starting as close to 10:30 as possible. Doubles tournament will be Saturday August 30th starting as close to 10:30 as possible. Where: Downtown seattle near the convention center. Last year we were located at the Hyatt olive 8. Once I have the official location and such, it shall be posted here. Why: Well, because it is fun. mantis models. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/932371889/mantis-model-storage-case Current rough guidelines for army construction and mission play will be modeled after the BAO.

Finally finished getting all the pictures and such up here on this forum. Thanks everyone for coming out and rolling dice. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/579757.page

A lot of lessons learned all the way around. I'll put up a post linking all the pictures and action shots if I haven't already. Thanks all who came out.

13 people have signed up. I have room for up to 9 more. At this point I'm closing the pre-registration. I haven't brought any extra tables, so the 9 spots will be first come first serve. Good luck to all.

A link to the forum I'm going to be using to put up pictures and overviews of the battles throughout Saturday and Sunday. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/579757.page#6543088

Whoops. May 17, 18 for the tshft invitational.

Another update for all of those who may be lurking and still considering coming to the tournament. This is the last chance to win an invitation for the TSHFT invitational this season. Invitational will be the weekend May 31/June 1st. Prizes now have increased just a touch. The grand prize for this is the last super golden ticket... a totally free entry to the TSHFT invitational. Second prize will be the new version of the golden ticket...Half the price off at the TSHFT invitational. The balance of the entry fee will be divided up into prizes in the form of gift cards for card kingdom. Also, I have secured a private room for our lunch on Sunday, and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have it for Saturday as well. This will be an express route for ordering food and beverages. In the tourney room Non-alcoholic beverages and to go food are allowed, but not so much on the delicious beer. I look forward to seeing you all there.

Tournament is next weekend! Very excited for everyone to come out. There are still a half a dozen spots available. Most important details I need when you private message me is: Your name, (so I can enter it in my excell program ahead of time and have the first round paired when you get there.) A rough draft of your list: Doesn't need to be the finished copy for the tourney, I'm just looking to have a rough idea of what you are bringing to save me some time in keeping my notes, also so I can look up the rules to various titans, ork tanks, c'tan or whatever is being brought so I'm confident in my rulings. Minor reminders: Please bring enough copies of your list for everyone you are playing. I'll have a pad of paper for those who forget so you can write them out long hand. Please bring any attendant updated rules for your models, the translation from structure points to hull points is not always linear, make sure you have the current ones. I will have a set of template and apocalyptic templates on hand if you do not own any. I will do my best to have a copy of every current rule set for you to check against to be assured of current status. Card kingdom opens at 10am, both days, we will be in the mini's area and to the tourney room. Cheers, and I look forward to seeing you all.

Correct, Forge world army lists will be allowed for this tournament. I'm trying to give all the options out there some play. I've been play testing against the feared revenant titan and will be posting battle reports as time allows for people to get an idea of escalation and strong holds effect on the game. As we close in on the end of this week, I would greatly appreciate it if people would send along a copy of their planned army lists. Doesn't need to be hard and fast, little tweaks are totally fine as you focus in for the tourney. It just helps me get a little bit ahead of the game on saturday so that everyone can walk in, set down their armies and start rolling dice. For those in the local area, I work directly across the water from card kingdom and would be happy on any given day to meet up after work and get a practice game in for the tourney. I can bring nids, eldar including super heavies and any proxy army you would like a chance to play against, just hit me up. Copying a post from another forum.

That is a good idea. I'll try and ad that to the tourney packet. I'm interested to see how all the games go as well. Three hours is the time for rounds, but the accelerated damage potential could make them two hour games instead. There are a number of teams signed up that don't have any titans or strongholds. I'll be interested to see how they do as well.

Thought I had put that in my first post. Doh. Must have been one of my drafts. Card kingdom opens at ten am. I'm going to have everything set up by then, so hopefully everyone will arrive, grab their packets and be sitting down to play. Games will be about three hours long with a lunch break after the first game. Likely wrapping up around eight day one, budgets in time for running late. Around five on Sunday day two. If there is anything I can do to help travelers out, let me know.

Only a dozen spots left for those interested in participating.
