Lord Hanaur Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Khornate Daemonkin is officially available again if someone wanted to register for them (Bracket II), due to an unfortunate scheduling conflict with the Ambassador that cannot be helped at this point. If you are already an Ambassador, you can take the Daemonkin slot if you can find a player to register to replace your current Ambassadorship. With so little time left, this is the only answer that won't complicate matters badly. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 May I inquire your motivation for not including AdMech and Imperial Knights? Are they slated for allowance next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Cult Mechanicus have no Fast Attack units. I felt they would be at an extreme disadvantage in one of the missions. Same for the Imperial Knights. We have been able to handle this with Militarum Tempestus with some tweaks but because of the unique flavor of the tournament, we decided against them. The Website has all the rules and missions if you want more clarity on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I think AdMech could work if you rolled Cult Mechanicus and Skitarii into a single entry. They're basically one Army that was just split into two books for marketing reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah, I dunno why Militarum Tempestus would work (having no HS or EL units) but Skitarii/Cult Mechanicus wouldn't. I man, it's obviously LH's call, but it feels like an arbitrary line in the sand to draw. (Also, if the problem is that one of the missions is excluding a bunch of factions from participating, the problem may be with the mission rather than with the factions. :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Nope. The mission is there to reinforce the purpose of the tournament. It's not going anywhere. Super psyched for Saturday. Hope you're all ready. 7 slots remain. Tell a friend. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 When are army lists revealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Lists are likely being uploaded this evening and so may well be viewable between now and tomorrow. In other news, we have had our Chaos Daemon Ambassadorship registered for, money in hand though the site has not yet recognized it. We now have 26 Ambassadors. Therefore here is the updated list of remaining Ambassadorships: Space Wolves Tau Empire Tyranids Adepta Sororitas Chaos Space Marines Militarum Tempestus Khornate Daemonkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This helps with sleeplessness or not:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Cult Mechanicus have no Fast Attack units. I felt they would be at an extreme disadvantage in one of the missions. Same for the Imperial Knights. We have been able to handle this with Militarum Tempestus with some tweaks but because of the unique flavor of the tournament, we decided against them. The Website has all the rules and missions if you want more clarity on that. This is a prime example of one of the reasons why I find the HH Knight House rules superior to the 40k rules. Knights are purchased for specific battlefield roles and gain a special rule according to the FOC slot they occupy. For an example, Heavy Support Knight gaining Tank Hunter or Fast Attack Knight gaining additional movement, but having reduced AV. Now, as those are both 30k rules and FW rules, and as such, has less than a snowballs chance of hell at being allowed in an LH™ event, allow me to suggest a more practical solution than an outright dismissal of the Imperial Knight codex for next year. It's more of an expansion on what you already have, which is LoW granting a Primary Objective. Why not leave it at that? "For Imperial Knight Players, each Imperial Knight destroyed by the Enemy grants the Enemy One Primary Objective instead of the normal method of scoring a Primary Objective."

Lord Hanaur Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thats already the case. Each Lord of War killed was a Primary Objective. This came up during the tournament. Specifically: If you do bring a Lord of War unit, and it is destroyed, it does grant the enemy a Primary Objective. So each Lord of War was a primary Obejective in the Secure the Escape Tarmac and Break their Force Cohesiveness Mission. Abusepuppy lost two of his in one round and so it could have mattered a lot. I dont recall the final score from that round BUT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 So why wasn't Codex: Imperial Knights allowed? I'm confused. When I asked why they weren't allowed, you cited that mission as the reason why. I made a suggestion that expounded upon a rule that is already a part of that mission and allows for the inclusion of a Codex currently not being represented at your event, and you say that is already the case. If it were already the case, why wasn't IK represented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I promise, I'm not trying to be difficult. Rather, I'm trying to either help with suggestions that would allow me to attend the event next year, OR understand why you have decided to not allow them and just write off the Event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Suffice it is to say, it was a lot of fun and those coming to have a good time did get their fair share of it! =) One hopes we may see you there next year. I leave how you make those decisions entirely to your discretion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont recall the final score from that round BUT... The wording on that one could've been a little clearer- neither I nor my opponent realized that was how it was intended to function until you told us about it, but yeah, it was a thing. The score on that game was crazy-high. I think Micheal had something like a 36pt loss, and I won with something like 64pts or something like that. I would've scored even higher if the Secondary that round hadn't been "keep one model in the enemy army alive." :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't absent from my mind the possibility that someone might take three and if they did, those three alone were worth 27 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
