40k Tournament: Febuary 9th

[discordian]

I didn’t see any activity so I decided to post this. I don’t really desire to run it but we will cross that bridge if enough of us still want to do it. We had talked about it being fully painted armies, but again we can decide on this if we have enough interested people.


A 1750 Point 40K tournament will be taking place on Saturday February 9th at Triple Play.

• Event starts at 11:00 am, but please arrive early
• $10 dollar entry fee
• Frist and Second place winners will be awarded store credit
• A Third prize will be given to the voted best painted army
• Point’s value will be 1750 points, allies and fortifications allowed
• Please have available all rules required to field your list
• Night Fight, Warlord Traits, and Generated Psychic powers to be rolled at the beginning of each round
• Mysterious terrain will NOT be used, Mysterious objectives WILL be used


Round 1: Touchdown (Modified Purge the Alien)

Deployment: Hammer and Anvil

Primary Mission: Victory Points

Special: One 3 point Mysterious objective will be placed in the center of the table. At the end of each round, excluding first and final, the player who scored the most kill points MUST move the objective 2d6” towards or away from his deployment half.

Secondary Mission: First Blood, Kill the Warlord, and Line Breaker



Round 2: Special Forces (Modified Crusade)

Deployment: Dawn of War

Primary Mission: The Crusade objectives

Special: Before the game begins each player will roll a d6 and apply the following results.
1-2: One chosen Elite unit is scoring
3-4: One chosen Fast Attack unit is scoring
5-6: One chosen Heavy Support unit is scoring
This Special Forces unit is also worth 2 victory points if it is completely wiped out at the end of the game to the opposing player. If you don’t have a unit from the FOC rolled you do not get any special forces.

Secondary Mission: First Blood, Kill the Warlord, and Line Breaker



Round 3: Off with His… Her… Its Head! (Modified Emperor’s Will)

Deployment: Vanguard Strike

Primary Mission: The Emperor’s Will objectives

Special: Each player’s Warlord also counts as a 3 point Mysterious Objective. Kind will be determined after deployment but before the Seize. If the warlord is killed place an objective marker of the same kind where the model was last, both players can contest this objective but only the player who killed the warlord can control it. Normal rules for scoring still apply in both instances.

Secondary Mission: First Blood, Kill the Warlord, and Line Breaker

I know I don't do 40k tournaments very much, but I'm kind of interested in participating. I would like to note that I can't do fully painted, so if you want to do that, that is fine, but I'm out.

[discordian]

Considering the response so far I dont think we should push for fully painted armies, at least not this time.

Anyone else interested? If no one speaks up Ill just be coming saturday to play normal games if anyone is interested.

I had planned on the tournament and would be quite keen on it happening. I have a fully painted army, and am fine with that requirement, but I having the tournament is more important than having all armies painted.


Who all is coming, Poofy, Droof, Ross, Damian, Corey, Mark, James, Chuck, Brad, Dan, Danno?

Chris. Thanks for posting this up. I had intended to get something up later today, but you saved me a bunch of work. :-) I'll be there and would be able to run it.

Caleb, do you think you could get a three color minimum on your army for Saturday? Base colors do count. You won't win best painted army, but that is the definition of "painted" that I was planning on running with.

[commissardanno]

I won't be able to make it.

[metagamed]

I probably can't, drew, for 2 reasons. First, I have about 45 unpainted infantry and 2 vehicles I would need to paint in 4 days. That's maybe possible. The larger problem is that half of them aren't even primed, and it's not looking like it's gonna be above freezing anytime this week.

Given those two problems, I think I might just play magic that day instead. Sorry, guys.

[loupis]

Ill be there sat. I would say just let him play un painted. He just can't win paint prize.

Okay, your cool island song has warmed my icy heart. :-)

You can definitely play with your existing forces. No paint required! This goes for everyone on Saturday.

I plan to require painting one day. But saturday is not that day.

[metagamed]

Ok, cool. I will be there. Just so I know, if I want to post my list so someone can make sure I didn't screw up and it's all legal, should I do that here or make a new thread? I'm mainly asking because this will be my first time using allies.

[jeremyholiday]

in round one, is it the one who scored the most in that round, or total to that point. Also, must it be in a straight line?

[jeremyholiday]

Is the second round really the old dawn of war deployment?

[discordian]

Jeremy

1. Just another way for getting victory points the winner is whoever has the most at the end of the game. And yes straight line.

2. Its the new one that's named the same as the 5th edition one. So pitched battle if you think of it the way I do.

[jeremyholiday]

re: 1 - Sorry, I was not clear. What I meant to ask was: Is the objective moved by the player that had the most kill points in that particular round or who has the highest running total at that point? For example: In round 1 I get 2 kill points, opponent gets 0 - no move. round 2 - I get 1 kill point, but opponent gets 2. Who moves it then?

re: 2 - Thanks, got it. I just strongly dislike the old dawn of war deployment.

[discordian]

I was thinking the person who got two kill points the second round would. Score not give up sorry.
