Was there a change to time to start the dice rolling on the second day?

Do you think GSC able to make the top tables at the LVO?

Was wondering how people have been handling the New Genestealer Cult. I been having really good success with playing it myself. But I am wanting to here bout how people have been beating it. I been lucky so far winning a small point GT with them and a local 1850 RTT. I think mainly this is because they are a new army and people have not gotten use to them in the meta yet. I am a decent general and know the game fairly well but I am needing to improve my game with them. If you haven't gotten a game in with them yet feel free to give your impressions of this unique army. SO please talk about how you have won or loss to this New Cult in the mist of us.

very confused was... it did say two GSC earlier.

Please do I have already with no response. Since I Only got points as a reward I would like to get them for the ITC standing.

Sadly doing this and then the LVO the next weekend may not be a doable thing for me. Sadly.

It is the getting up to play games at 10am on the second day after drinking the first day victory's or defeats that make the second day so hard. lol

Works for me.

Did this just change to you have to have a CAD now? It was you could take two formations but if you toke a third you had to have a cad? Copied from the web site. Armies may be constructed from a maximum of 3 Detachments (as defined in the 40k BRB), one of which must be a Combined Arms Detachment (CAD). Formations are Detachments. Detachments inside a Decurion-style formation are still counted separately. This differs from the normal ITC rules.. Wanting to make sure, as my list will have to change.

Now if I can just take that home with me when I WIN.

Sorry my injury has taken me out of action for a bit.. I am needing to get a few of these guys to round out my new army. I am needing about 26 of these. I don't mind the older sculpts or the new ones. I am can trade some fantasy lizard men, elf dragon, and some odd space wolf models I have. I may even be willing to part with some Tyranid MC is you are looking for something. PM if you are interested. Or post here. AbusePuppy I can get some pictures up if you are still interested.

I have been running the assassin for anti- death stars. But we have a new sisters unit that is nice as well. Which is better. Most people know the assassin already so I will not go in to them much. My thoughts on the sisters. The new formation for sister allows only a free great sword upgrade that is + 1 strength , AP2 and at Initiative 5. Having a few in the unit seams like a good idea to me. I like to have 2 5 man units with swords but I think one 7 -8 woman unit will have to work. What do you think of the new formation for the sister? Would two units be better? It would take away two dice away from your opponent instead of one. How big is that in game terms to have a warp dice taken from you? Also is it better to have two units that take away from powers then just one large one? mmm I may just need 10 basic sisters to run two 5 man squads. it is only 150 points just like the assassin and it gives me two bubbles that people have to get ride of instead of one. The assassin is hard to hit and has s 4++ with 3 wounds. Sister have more wounds and are in two different areas of the map making you have to kill the bubble twice. For the same points which is the better way to go.??

I won a GT with GSC this weekend. Now it was a pocket GT 5 games at 1000 points with maelstrom and one game with pure kill points. It was my first time playing the GSC and to win my first try out was cool!! I played GK, Raven guard in a sky hammer, Necrons, IG blob's, and a Nasty Orc bike list in the finals. My list was the Brood cycle bare bones except a 20 man genestealer unit and claws on the meta's. With a patty and a magus, and final The SUB Uprising with 5 acolytes and one metamorphs unit with whips. The formation is really good I went second 3 times and didn't have a issue dealing with people shooting entail the last round. The 20 man genestealer unit was no joke. I only lost warlord in the last round to the orks with the bike star shooting me to death. Vs armies that have Flamers I feel you need to have at lest 8 man units. Vs the SM and Gray knights I lost unit because of lucky over watch dropping a unit to down to two guys. then losing in combat. With 7-8 guys I would have been able to kill the units I had assaulted. 5 man squads are not the way to go. Also you need to have at lest one 15-20 man unit to hide the magus and banner in. With everything coming in attacking different areas the big unit get left alone most of the time. Play GSC in maelstrom is almost unfair. They can be in so many places at once. What I toke away from this GT was I needed bigger acolyte units 8 man at lest. If you are doing pure GSC you need at lest one 20 man Genestealer unit and two 15 man Acolyte two hide the banner and magus. Having some OB troops is nice but not a must have. At higher point lever the Primus can be nice but is not needed I feel. Having more units is better then having him I think. I had a few games where I didn't get any assaults in the first turn or only one unit could. The rest had to sit around and wait for the next turn to do anything. Screening your Large units with a small unit or two allows you to get a 3 to 2+ cover save in the open if you get night fight. I did this with my genestealer unit twice which mad shooting them pointless for the most part. All in all a fun GT.

LOL not worrying or fretting.

I don't think it joins the formation the caster comes from as the first curse formation would have acolytes and it can't. the just become units from the GSC codex I believe. If you are playing ITC that is how they play Daemons and other units. Color coding the bases seam to be the easy way to tell what gets buffed by what. I like the colored tokens as well. Helps with book keeping for sue.

He ran the Ghosar formation GSC CAD: Patriarch (lvl 2) Magus (lvl 2, crouchling, 2 familiars) 2x neophytes 10 men (2x mining lasers each) VSG (3 shields) GSC Incursions: Brood cycle: Iconward 3X Acolytes 5 kind of men 2X neophytes 10 men 1X metamorphs 5 only barely men (Claws) 1X purestrain genestealers 5 not men at all Subterranean swarm: Primus 2X acolytes 5 kind of men (4 flamers) 1X metamorphs 5 only barely men (claws) Aberrants 4 who knows what those are (hammers)

He had the WD formation and brood cycle, with the Uprising. Mostly 5 man min/max units. Only the large unit where the WD formation. it worked really well. I was his only loss with my space wolves. He killed like 4 IK and a WK during the tournament. I will see if I can find his list. for you.

With sisters?? Brave man

I understand the need to drive home. For sure. I drove to Storm of Silence in Spokane this year. Which is over a 5 hour drive to my home. I knew the tournament was going to end around 5 or 6 that night. I stayed the night and drove back in the morning. It was safer to do that and made for a relaxing day instead of rushing to get home at night. The Game Matrix doesn't open Sunday entail 11:00. Starting the second day at 11AM to 11:30AM would make sure everyone gets their in time. Also it makes things easier for the store as they don't have to pick someone to come in early to open the store that day. I can see getting the tournament to end for people can get home sooner. Maybe having a shorter lunch the second day. Or playing 4 games Saturday like the old days and the one game on the second for the final rounds? This could free up time for people with long drives. Having the tournament go 3 and 2 s the best though. .

Are you driving home for both days? I have seen you go to Spokane for a two day event. Most events start at 11am on the second day as it is a Sunday. When the store will open that day will factor in as well. They have to pay for someone to open early may change start times at lest. What are the food option you are looking at this time? Are you doing it for both days? or just the first?

Fast armies will work well on a 6x4 tat they are running the tournament on. Eldar and drop pods should be big issues for this tournament. Signal codex for the mot part too. Should be fun. What are you guys taking up?.

Link to a one day gt in October in Seattle. https://www.facebook.com/events/506946642836197/ I may go to this as it is as it will give me a chance to improve my ITC score at the GT level. It is a 1000 point armies with a maelstrom deck like we played in Portland for the ones that went. Single codex only no allies. There is few expectations read the rules. A different format but it is GT points for ITC.

If you start a 12non on Sunday we are done by 6pm 7 at the latest version. Seams quite early. The normal tournament went tell 8-9ish when it was one day. How come people can't get home on Sunday?

I have treekin,some metal wardancers. some questing knights 3 or 4 the metal enchantress and a finecast green knight. I have a high elf on dragon. Nicely painted. Lizardmen I have two units of saurus warriors one with clubs and one with spears. 30 man units all painted and based. Tmepel guard half panted unit of 15 to 20. some lizard Calvary, two metal slanse, two of the new plastic HQ Saurus. One stagadon.
