So it will mostlikly be me versus one or two other players.
This would take place some saturday at my house.

Preliminary details of the game: defender gets to use all my defensive positions I have built over the years. I get without number on my infantry platoons.

Based on who wants to play but I am thinking 10K per side. I will not be pulling fred out for this.

Tables will be setup using three tables. Exact layout of tables to be determined later.

I am just trying to find interest at this point.

I am located in NJ but its pretty easy to get here. Take the turnpike (276) or 295.

We will split the cost of food and beverages.

I will determine the date later but most likely a weekend or two after feb tournament.]]> I have never been able to pull out my guard as a complete unit. So it will mostlikly be me versus one or two other players.

Saturday February 11th @ 12:00, will be the next War Hammer 40,000 tournament. There will be $10.00 entry fee. As usual all will go to prize support. If they're are more players there will be more prizes to give away. You can sign up at the front counter of the store. Here are the rules:

BASIC RULES

Armies will consist of 2000 points using a standard force organization chart. A player may only enter one (1) army list.
The Warhammer 40K 5th Edition Rules will be used.

Special Characters are allowed, assuming that they are playable at 2000pts.

What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG), is preferred but not required.
Proxies and Counts As... (substitute models) are allowed.

You must provide access to your own rules (which include the actual Codex used for your army), dice, templates, pen/pencil, calculator, or anything else you'll need during the course of regular play. NO CASINO DICE ARE ALLOWED

In order to keep the tournament running on schedule, when time is called for a round, you may finish the turn in an acceptable amount of time. Ending with the bottom of a turn.

The number of games played will be 3, @ 2 hours per round.

For the first round of games, pairings will be randomly generated by the TO by any mystical way he chooses. Subsequent pairings after the first round will be determined by Swiss Style pairings, meaning players of equal standing are matched up for the next round.

The objective of tournament play is for everyone to have a good time. Players should remain courteous and patient with their opponents and the judge.


SPORTSMANSHIP
Each round, players will evaluate their opponent by certain criteria. The average score garnered will be the total score for Sportsmanship, Composition and player Courtesy. (Was the player courteous before, during and after the game)

PAINTING
Players and judges will evaluate each army, ranking them 1 through 3. (1 being the highest.)

AWARDS

Overall Champion (Sportsmanship breaks ties)

General:Best Record (Sportsmanship breaks ties)

Best Painted: Painting Score

Player's Choice: Best Sportsman

Hope to see you all on February 11th at 12:00pm]]>

Just some New Tyranid FAQs I want to point out...

"Tyranids haven't been un-screwed but Hive Guard(Impaler Cannon) now only have cover against them when one is in terrain or up against it (so no cover from smoke or moving fast) - nice for them to be more effective. Shadow in the Warp now affects models in transports as well - yay for one minor un-screw up."

Q: How many kill points is a unit of Tyrant Guard that
has been joined by a Hive Tyrant (including the
Swarmlord) worth? (p35)
A: One


Q: Can a unit take cover saves from any source other
than the terrain they are in, or touching, against
Wounds caused by an impaler cannon? (p47)
A: No.


Q: Does Shadow in the Warp affect psykers who are
taking a Psychic test whilst embarked within a
transport vehicle? (p33)
A: Yes.

Thought i'd post on here to say thanks for tonight. Went through a demo with Jack and a bunch of you guys were around giving your help and insight. Hopefully I'll see you guys around in two weeks for another game night.

I will go $35/$65 with someone on a new Black Reach set and toss in the extra Orks. That would give you:

1 Warboss
40 Ork Boyz
10 Nobz
5 Deffkoptas
1 Rulebook
3 Templates
2 Measuring sticks to discipline pets, small children, or Jack R.

Great as a force expander or as a Christmas present for someone you'd like to get into the game!
