alexcragg Posted June 30, 2017 Report Posted June 30, 2017 Since I have to plan on how many toys I can fly with I figured I would gauge the waters to see who was thinking of playing 8th this year during the 40k event? 1 Quote
WestRider Posted June 30, 2017 Report Posted June 30, 2017 I wish I could, because I like 8th much better, but my Army just changed too much. I'd have to increase what I'm bringing for it by at least 50% to make it viable in 8th. Quote
pretre Posted June 30, 2017 Report Posted June 30, 2017 I'm bringing: - 7th edition DW for Team Event - 8th Edition DW for Team Event (it's a 5 point difference) - 8th Edition SOB for the Friday ITC Event 3 Quote
Edosaurus Rex Posted June 30, 2017 Report Posted June 30, 2017 I'll be playing 8th as much as possible! My list is almost the same; I only had to drop one unit and adjust the squad size of my Cultists up to the new minimum of 10. I have yet to play a game of 8th so I'm looking forward to trying the new rules with any of my opponents who want to! 1 Quote
VonVilkee Posted June 30, 2017 Report Posted June 30, 2017 I'm interested as well but limited time leading up is giving me a hard time being double version ready... committed to sisters for the 7th ed team event... love that my pirate orks are viable in 8th so haven't really converted the sisters over... transports are more expensive so it prolly is drop stuff... I'll play 8th and fix the list on the fly... power level perhaps? 1 Quote
Purajh Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 I have both a 7th and 8th edition lists for my necrons. I plan to play whatever my opponent feels like. 3 Quote
Chappy Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 I will have both lists for 7th and 8th. 2 Quote
Sume Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 I have to stick with 7th due to time constraints on getting the last of the tanks in my list painted. My list has to change rather dramatically as I lose out on a command squad and would need to actually replace it with something else. I will have a 7th Sister of Battle list. Quote
kyojin Posted July 2, 2017 Report Posted July 2, 2017 Seeing this thread heavily tempts me to pack lists for both 7th and 8th as well. 3 Quote
PumpkinHead Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 7th Ed kill team 8th Ed Friday Nids 7th and 8th ready for the 40k event. I only have to add a small amount toaster the lists. 3 Quote

Kolby Hopkins Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I'll be packing for both with my sisters of battle but I'm really hoping that people will be most prepared for 8th as I've been having a lot more fun with that ruleset. 1 Quote

This is pretty much my hope and why I started this thread, I know some people will pretty much have to stick with 7th but I was curious if 80% of the games will be in 8th and I can reliably stop trying to preserve the portions of my brain that remember 7e rules. 3 Quote
pretre Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 Yeah, we were talking about this offline the other day and I think most games will be 8th. Understandably, Bryan couldn't force people to do it, but I think most will do it voluntarily. 2 Quote
Craeat Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 I have not had a chance to read the 8th ed rules because I am a first timer at ofcc and have only been playing 40k for just over 2 years. This means I have a lot of work to get my list painted in time for ofcc. I hope everyone understands if I am not able to use 8th ed rules. 5 Quote

This is one of the reasons why everyone wasn't forced to switch. No one should give you any problems and if they do, let me know and I'll drunkenly berate them for you. 8 Quote
Kaoshin Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 I will bring an 8th edition list, however I do not have the time to get it fully painted and might possibly have to proxy a little for any opponent who would rather play 8th (which I am more than happy to do). There are actually no overlap in models between my 7th and 8th edition lists so I may have to make some sacrifies in the latter just getting models from OH over there to play. Wish me luck! LOL. 1 Quote

You may want to save the sacrifices, I don't think you could use the non-painted models. Quote

pretre Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 Certainly check with the HOG, if you have questions though. Quote

Indeed it is. 7th edition one will be fully painted as the official one for the event. Just don't have the time to paint an 8th edition list too. Worst comes to worst I'll cobble something together from painted models. The effectiveness will just take a nasty hit. Sad face! I'll ask the HOG though. Quote

I'll ask the HOG though. Well, the good part is not having to worry about effectiveness since it is the team event! :) I just converted my 7th list to 8th and it's probably a lot less effective (which was already a low bar).
