Lord Hanaur Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 WHERE: Olympic Cards and Comics 4230 Pacific Ave SE, Lacey, WA 98503 (360) 459-7721 WHEN: July 25th 2015 See the schedule Below WHAT: 1850 Point Battle Forged Warhammer 40,000 Lists You may bring a Battle Forged army with Two Detachments of any kind, or up to Three Detachments as long as one of the Detachments is a Combined Arms Detachment. All Detachments are counted, even those within, say a Decurion Formation. Keep in mind that Allied Detachments cannot be from the same Faction, as defined on page 126. All units must be clearly marked on your army list under the Detachment they belong to and you must give a copy of your list to your opponent. All of this is subject to the rules below. WHY: To compete, for are we not conquerors? WHO: You and every friend you can muster or tell about this event. Find a friend and bring them. It’s silly not to travel in packs and it's just flat unsafe. More is better. There are a few things that are bound to need attention so let me start right off: A. $15 per person. 1. We...will... be using some Stronghold Assault rules, for this particular event subject to some restrictions. No fortifications can be used EXCEPT the following: Aegis Defense Line (may upgrade with Gun or relay), the Imperial Bastion( may be upgraded to include a gun or Relay) and the Vengeance Weapons Battery (AA option allowed). 2. You can use any official Codex and/or Codex Supplement that you can provide rules for to your opponent before, during, and after the game. If you do not own the rules, you cannot use them. 3. Forge World and/or Escalation rules will be allowed subject to the restrictions of the ITC. https://www.frontlinegaming.org/community/frontline-gamings-independent-tournament-circuit/itc-2015-season-40k-tournament-format/ Follow this link to find the allowable or banned units. You must own and bring the appropriate book in order to be allowed their use. No exceptions. Note that only the unit restrictions apply. Be aware that only one Lord of War/SuperHeavy/Gargantuan unit is allowed. 4. When “time” is called, if the current round is not complete, you will return to the previous rounds victory condition total to see who won. You must complete the entire rounds events for the round to count. Rounds are over when the judge tells you they are over. If your clock contradicts that of the judge, the judges clock will be the one we use. 5. SLOW PLAYING WILL NEVER BE OKAY. For those unfamiliar with that term, it means that you intentionally slow down the game in order to avoid losing. Certain armies are like thundering hammer blows in the early going, but they take it in the shorts later on. Tau are a good example of an army that can be up by 6 KP’s before they start losing things...but they lose them pretty rapidly later. So if a Tau Empire player was hemming and hawing and generally going slow to avoid the loss, I would have no compunction about issuing a warning or even a Victory Point Penalty or simply exclude you from prize consideration. So, your best bet if time is running down and there may or may not be enough time to finish another round is not to sit around discussing it. Just mark what the current Victory condition totals are and play on. Then if the next round truly cannot be completed in GOOD FAITH, then you return to that previous completed rounds score as your final one. This is to ENCOURAGE people to play, not DISCOURAGE. We're not handing out solid gold statues, so play to have fun. Prizes in General: Prizes will be for Best Sportsman as voted by players, Best General as indicated by Battle Points, and Best Painted/Converted as judged by the players. Prizes will be pooled from the number of players present. Make it a priority to invite people to have fun with us! 6. Bring 5 copies of your army list, your main rule book, Codex FAQ, Templates, Dice, objective Markers etc... so others don't have to loan you theirs. Pro tip: letting people borrow them is however good sportsmanship. =) 7. The Table for D Weapons is changed for this tournament, per the organizer, to read as follows: 1 - nothing happens 2-5 - d3 hull point pen hit/d3 wounds, cover/inv saves as normal 6 - d3+1 hull point pen hit/d3+1 wounds, no saves of any kind All results (except for a 1, obviously) count as S10 for purposes of Instant Death, as stated in the rulebook. Painting Requirement: Your army must meet the three color minimum (base color, trim, and weapon painted at least). We will not judge paint with a rubric, as it will be player voted. Each player will inspect the armies during our lunch break and name their favorite. Most votes wins. Tie goes to the person with the least number of wins. Makes it worth painting no matter whether you win or lose, don’t you think? Other Stuff: Make your life easy: bring a display board. So much easier to move armies about and display them and people like them. A plank or even a McDonald Tray is better than loading and unloading from a bag. Just a suggestion, not a requirement. QUESTIONS: We ALL forget rules! There are a LOT of codex’s with many rules interactions and then there are FAQ’s that create another layer of possible discussion. In addition, the parallax effect can make us see things differently from one another on blasts or Template weapons and so on. Talk about it for a minute, look it up (The index works great) and if you cannot agree (and it happens), dice it off so you don’t get into a slow play situation. But if you feel like it is imperative to the outcome of the game, or maybe neither one of you feels sure ENOUGH to make a call on it either way, then call for a judge. Rulings are final until the tourney is over and will be the best attempt at correctitude we can make at the time. Sadly, we’re wrong sometimes. But if a decision HAS to be made by a third party, we’ll make it. Better that you ask before the tourney (see the schedule?) or you and your opponent settle it to continue having fun. Schedule: 10:00 Registration. Pay up folks. 10:15 Announcements and repeating one self for those who didn’t bother to read this. Go over oddball FAQ questions, preferably with a focus on being cool to one another. Occam s Razor is the rule. 10:30 to 1:00 Round 1 1:00 Set your army up for inspection, VOTE and then go to lunch. 2::0 Matchups announced, shuffling of armies 2:15 to 4:45 Round 2! 5:00 Matchups announced, shuffling of Armies begins, FOOD BREAK, rest your feet. 5:30 to 8:00 SPEED ROUND 3, Cause Champions go fast. 8:15 Prizes announced and Forum fills with joyous “what a great time I had” accolades, 8:30 After tourney Gaming to include...well any game you want. Cause it’s your time. Flames of War, War Machine, Warhammer...you name it, they have it at Olympic Card and Comics. Missions BAO Scenario 1 Step 1. Adjust and define terrain with your opponent.
