Lord Hanaur Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 WHERE: Terracrux Games 760 Commerce Street Tacoma, WA 98402 CALL (253) 203-1647 to PRE-REGISTER WHEN: SEPTEMBER 19, 2015 See the schedule Below WHAT: 2000 Point Battle Forged Warhammer 40,000 Lists You may bring a Battle Forged army with Two Detachments or up to Three as long as one of those Detachments is a Combined Arms Detachment. So for example you can play the Gladius Strike Force but would not be able to utilize the Company Support Command Benefit because to do so would require three Detachments, none of which are a CAD. 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. PRIZE SUPPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS TOURNAMENT. Read on for how you can win them WHY: To give away BIG chunks of prizes and tune up for the upcoming bigger tournaments. 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 if you pre-regsiter, $20 at the door. 1. We are not using Stronghold Assault rules, nor Escalation rules for this particular event except as follows. 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). 1A: You can bring 0-1 Super Heavy/Gargantuan models 2. You can utilize any official Codex and/or Codex Supplement that you can provide rules for to your opponent before, during, and after the game, subject to those restrictions detailed here. If you do not own the rules, you cannot use them. 3. Forge World RULES will not be used. Forge World Models can be used as appropriate proxies so long as they require no extensive explanation to your opponent and are more or less the correct dimensions. 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. 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. =) Prizes in General: We will be raffling prizes. If you win Best Sportsman, you receive two extra entries. If you win Best General, you get Two extra. If you win Best Painted as judged BY THE PLAYERS, not the judges, you get two extra entry's. Prizes will be pooled from the number of players present. If you tell EVERYONE, Facebook EVERYONE, then we should have more fun.. 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 favourite. 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 12:45 Round 1 12:45 Set your army up for inspection and voting. You never know! 12:45-1:00 Voting on Paint. 1:00- 2:00 Lunch 2:00 Matchups announced, shuffling of armies 2:15 to 4:30: Round 2! 4:30 Matchups announced, shuffling of Armies begins 4:45 to 7:00 Round 3 7:15 Prizes announced and Forum fills with joyous “what a great time I had” accolades, 7:30 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 TerraCrux Games! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I know you usually leave FAQs until the day of, but this one impacts my list building: Are you going to be using the ITC Ruling that allows Dark Angels ICs on Bikes to be taken in the RavenWing Strike Force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Oh that. I was only recently made aware of that problem. We had a REAL long conversation about whether it was the FOC that was bad or not. I'm inclined to think they just screwed up on the FOC. Having said that, I have no way to know for sure. For now, we will go with the idea that the Dark Angels Bike will make an HQ a Ravening character. I hate this ruling because it gets people out of taking the very obvious and clearly marked Ravenwing HQ that the Formation DEMANDS. Very dissatisfying solution but that's what we're going with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Oh, I'm taking Sammael, no worries. I just want to be able to take a Librarian or two as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Well now you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 You could also go with the Blog Wars ruling, which is a more blatant Rules Change, but works. They require Sammael as the mandatory HQ, but then allow other Bike-mounted ICs for the optional slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Frank;y it would make more sense to me, but it's decided. HQ's on Bikes can be Ravenwing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Sorry, one more. How do you count "combi-detachments"? Does the overall Detachment count, or just the ones inside? For instance, would a Gladius Strike Force consisting of a Demi-Company and a StormWing be two Detachments (the Demi-Company and StormWing) or three (those plus the Gladius itself)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 The Detachments within it are counted. The Gladius wouldnt be counted AS SUCH. So a Demi-Company Detachment and a StormWing Detachment count as two. A CAD would make three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Given that I hadn't even entirely nailed down my 1850 list, I have to say that I also wonder what I'm going to be doing with the extra 150 Points ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Man, I ain't even decided if I'm bringing DK, Nids, SW, or DA yet :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Oh you done decided. In your heart you KNOW how this is going to play out Westryder. Who you foolin'. It's practice for the Elvensword Ambassadorial Tournament. You know what you must do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah, but I just built some new TWC that look awesome, and I'm really happy with how the RavenWing I've been painting have turned out, and I converted up a Command Squad for them and I've got a DarkShroud on order, and I've almost got another Flyrant done and the metal Flesh Hounds I'm working on as part of what I need for my DK are proving a pain to build, and I'd have to pull Bikes from my other Chaos Armies to get the GorePack I want, since I haven't picked up more of those yet, and I just don't know. Truth be told, unless it's something like Elvensword or OFCC, I very rarely decide what I'm running until a day or two before, if not the morning of.
