I refer you to popular opinon on this point:

I'm interested in a tournament rather than a megabattle. Megabattles just drag on forever with really long turns. Lets try and get some date ideas asap so I can push for one I am free on :).

Hi , know I've dropped you guy's twice now , so no need to pay too much attention to my whim's . Baring a death in the family , I will make it to this one . As for the structure , will have to go with individual rather than mega-battle . Plus how you going to get someone to ally with my necron's  :P .

bah... necrons deserve to be on their own!!!

in truth though... what we could do was in the end work out a racial score taking into account the number of players... so simply work out an average score of all of the players of a race.... given foos record at the last tournament im not going to be using my tau again!!!

What about themed armies? I'm planning on taking harlequins using the DE rules...

So I'm not technically DE or Eldar... but...

Sounds fun though!

By looking at the last one , my race's total will be divided by ..... 1 ! Not a happy thought , need to get some serious game time in before hand .Aint played a game in yonk's . But seeing as my Eldar list will most probably not be ready ( and too many Eldar players already  , and I need serious practice with them too ...... ) could be fluffy being the only one there . And someone needs to be last , why not the most hated race as a bonus ........  ::)

Maybe you guy's need to help foos out , instead of dropping the above comments ? Pretty sure losing all those games did wonder's for his self esteem and all ..... [ end rant ]

Sorry , it's my strange " defend the underdog " complex I have . Maybe we should swop dice , might have more luck with his ! Example - 5 Destroyers - 14 ( yes , 14/15 hits) - wounds - 1 . A str6 gun . Wounding on 3+ . Every bloody time . Definitly buying new ones next weekend .

Speaking of foos does anyone know how i can get in touch with him? He is not on my buddy list and does not appear on the member map  In addition to this he does not know how to send a PM (i kid ye not) so i really have no way of contacting him. In fact i have no idea how i managed to invite him to the first tournament!

Hey guys, don't think you're going to escape my wrath this tournament! I'm up for another tournament end of June, its all good... I'm thinking of starting Necrons (i brought a deciever the other day and converting him to look uber cool, hence the inspiration) so i may brign them along, or dark eldar, or eldar, or deathwing, or tyranids... so many choices. I'll try and fill any army voids that we might have for more variety.

Bring the 'crons ! Looks like so far I will be all alone * sigh *  :'(
However Tyranids were also absent last time .

foos is my friend... i invited him along and told him to sign up to 40konline...

his name might actually be spelt fooz...?

in any case... i can get in contact with him,. we play at the same store, so it should be alright. ill make sure he is made aware of any decisions.

as a side... depending on how many people come along... we might be better off playing 1000point games so as we can get in more rounds and therefore play more opponents. we could also consider 1250pt games (however odd that seems!). you know... its just in an effort to make sure that we can play more games.

saying that... conflict tournamnets generally only do three rounds anyway... and they are 1000pt games... so we were doing ok at the last tournament!

As a purely personal request , could we try keep it 1250 + please ? But if time constraints etc do force us to make sacrifices , will gladly do so .

I think 1500 points and 3 rounds is ideal. I would like it if we all got to play different people from last time as well if we can work that out.

I dont mind either way. If it is closer to 1000pts though, I'll probably be more likely to field my harlequins. But then I'll use either my guard or eldar (be it mech biel tann or not...) if its 1500pts.

Either way I plan on winning more games! lol
