oh, nevermind. I see there are specific "Warhammer Skirmish Style"

I might be interested. What do you know about the slotted regiment movement trays, do they have the proper spacing (12.5mm) for skirmishers? https://warbases.co.uk/?product=regiment-tray-20mm-slots-3mm-top-layer

Do I need to get approved to officially be in the FB group? I am about as helpless as my 90 year old grandfather when it comes to FB

Lerking a bit here, but how did you determine the spirit scores? Looking for ideas for making the T9A event better.

I imagine you will take flaming on your war machines next time :D. That rundown of the General+KG was pretty nuts. It is strange to me that Greybeards dont give a flip, but the super smashy doom unit with a King gets gobbled up like some skinks. That was some 8th edition type of punishment for rolling two dice the wrong way.

Nice call with the new MDF bases! What % of metal bands are medieval themed? You seem to have a deep archive of this material.

How did this event turn out? By Guardian Games are you talking about SE Portland, or is there another GG in Seattle?

Quite impressive sir, I managed to paint 1 character in the last 6 months. You have literally moved mountains in 1 month.

Alright I am going to do something that you should never do CHANGE THE SCHEDULE AT THE LAST MINUTE!!!! I will PM everyone on this list attendee list. Great job dkieft, I vote you for HoG next year :D

Hmmm, these are very good points. Honestly I just stole the schedule from last year and never thought about it again. We may have a last minute redirection, I will look into it. Thanks for bringing this up!

Are you half human half machine?

If you have not yet, check out Destroyer of Worlds (came out this year). It is pretty sobering. If only he would do a podcast on the Old World + Lustria. I don't much care about the rest.

Your dedication is impressive. Funny how painting figurines is the only way to convince yourself to pull an "all nighter". Reminds me of me and my roommate's 24 hour painting marathon OFCC 2015. Burned thru a 12oz bag of stumptown and nearly the entire Blueprints of Armageddon from Dan Carlin (which on an aside, if you have never heard of Dan Carlin, you are missing out!)

After seeing your use of MS Paint for battle reports, I am actually pretty confident you are serious.

That is pretty solid. The King has a strong killing potential, much like the kings guard he is with. Since he keeps the unit stubborn, you could consider trading in some of the killing potential for a ward save. I would take the rune of storms for the anvil as well, but it costs 50 points extra. You could get some point savings by dropping the GW from the miners. The pistols give them pair weapons, and they are base str 4, str 5 on the charge. Although not worthy of monster killing, miners in the rear of most units will do wonders without the GW. Don't forget to give your runesmith a shield! He should be in the greybeard unit as he provides AP 1 and MR 1 automatically (which is an amazing value).

Yep I will provide scoring sheets. They will be part of the feedback for the scenarios. Another thing to note, the judging for best painted will be done by consensus, done on Sunday. Again this will be part of the scoring sheets / scenario feedback, which I shall henceforth refer to as "paperwork".

I realized I did not explain all that much about what to and what not to bring to OFCC. Please do bring 6 copies of your army list w/ point values and magic items. Lists are all open, meaning your opponent knows exactly what you have and what magic items you are equipped with. The list does not need any specific format. 5 Copies are for your opponents, 1 is for yourself. Please bring your army rules, I have a printed version of the T9A slim rulebook, but none of the armies. I will be printing off 1 tournament packet per table, which should stay with the table as a reference. If you would like your own, then you will need to print that out. I will also be printing/bringing all the materials necessary for the scenarios. Keep in mind these scenarios are mostly experimental, and this is a chance for us to contribute to the T9A project with some feedback to the community who developed these scenarios. To that end, I will have a place for comments on the scenarios, along with the standard end match questions, for each of the 5 matches. I hope to not bury you in paperwork so I will try to make them concise. The materials for the 2nd scenario "A Wise Commander" will be free for the taking after the event if you so choose, I wont need 8 copies to myself. Oh yeah, and bring your armies, tapes, dice, beautiful faces, and beer money.

If you dont want to dink around with battlescribe (it is not terribly intuitive the first time), then excel seems to work just fine. You can submit as excel or word or whatever. Make sure to produce some lists for your opponents!

I only have lists for about half. Get yo' lists in!..... ladies and gents!

Very strong list for SA. Honestly the raptors are hit or miss, typically get more mileage out of a couple chaff units of hunters. Skinks + Camians only make sense as steadfast breakers, which will compliment your dino mash very well. Camian is pretty useful for the LD boost, and makes up nearly an entire rank of skinks by himself. I would put my skink characters on Taurasaurs for the protection. Taurasaurs are tough nuts to crack and your Firstboard/Alpha is going to attract WAY more attention than the wizard. I assume you are going druidism, at which point you definitely want him mounted on the Taura.

Unpreparedness is all part of the fun :D

Yep, They are pretty versatile alone. A unit of cav is a good call, just in case there are cannons around. Otherwise just throw them into combat, they are tough to break/kill. Spearbacks are pretty good, they eat chaff for breakfast and are long range for SA (18"). Str 4, AP1, BS4, 2d6 with quick to fire, light troops, M6. Even a flipping 4+ armor save. They are basically like ogre bombardiers, but better in every way. They were meh with the meta was big death stars. Now that things are more MSU, they wreck face. I guess their only downside is they cannot flee if charged from the front, though people typically avoid doing that.

Deal!

I am willing to make an exception for AoS players, so long as they also play board games.

Currently I will not be playing (odd number of registered players) so you can scratch one SA. I currently know of 2 other SA lists (one being Diap2012) SA is the coolest army, so I would not blame you for bringing them. O&G is a close second. For SA lists, cowboys are still the lay of the land, they just cost a lot more now. Spearbacks are arguably broken as they seem to eat bricks of infantry better than salamanders
