Topic: UK: 7th 40kOnline Tournament RESULTS

[Jonik]

Just to confirm changing the rule for Tyranid /VDR to exclude Creature Maker not monstrous

and the Allies part,
might be me but I'm reading it that you can only not take allies as that IG can't take a unit of SM or is that not how your reading it


will change the pack after talking to the club comittee tonight and replies from you guys

The way it is written, only witch hunters and daemonhunters can take marines/guard. Where as guard/marines cannot take units from WH/DH.  It also fails to mention WH in the first part, so technically (according to the pack), I would not be allowed Daemonhunter allies, but I am allowed witch hunter...

Luckily however, they've been allowed by oink.

As for 'no monsterous creatures' - aren't half the nid list that catagory? And same with greater daemons?

[Shas'Oink]

yea, the monstrous creature reference is actually to the creature VDR equivalent... not "monstrous creatures"... thats just sloppy wording.

i can understand the confusion with allies... its to stop you simply mixing different armies together... which is reasonable...

im not sure how to change the wording at the moment.

[Evil_Toast]

im not sure how to change the wording at the moment.

No army can use allies other than that are permitted as written in Codex Daemonhunters and Codex
Witchhunters.

Thats pretty much how every rules pack I've ever read covers this .

Ugh, I suppose if somebody sent me the original copy of the pack I could edit and write it out professionally (I do now have a degree in Creative and Professional Writing) and then everybody wouldn't have to engage their brains to use some common sense.

However, I did also have a chuckle about some of the typos and problems; but at least we have it.

[Shas'Oink]

congrats google! and to celebrate you obviously go out and get smashed... killing off most of the brain cells that got you there in the first place!

thanks for that toasty... i couldnt engage my brain...

as mentioned earlier google, do you have the mailing list of people to contact about the tourney from the last time? it might be an idea to send them a message - email just in case they have missed the thread completely.

5th ed FAQs are up!

Let the ''aww what!?'' 's begin

[MacVurrich]

I do love the way that they are the one released a couple of months back but now called 5th ed

[Shas'Oink]

fair dues, there are some comments with regards to 5th edition in them.

[Evil_Toast]

5th ed FAQs are up!

Let the ''aww what!?'' 's begin

Been browsing through some of them . So far not to bad . Just read the toaster FAQ and they cleared up 2 tedious debates ( powerfist v 'lith and the Particle Whip Sniper Cannon ) .

Still need to read :  Guard , BT's  , 'nids and the Ordos ones .

@premetheus - you got a PM .

Sorry, missed that bit earlier! Erm, I'll see what I can ruffle up, what numbers are we looking at so far? Been so busy recently it's not funny, haven't played a single 5th edition game yet, I've barely played any 40k for the last three months which is just heresy for me. Do you think it'd be sad to try and get a game of 40k in while I'm in California for two weeks?

Me thinks me could be a bit rusty this tournament... second place yet again then! ().

So it is true , there has been some form of "special" prize at this event before . Admit it !

[premetheus]

What are the prizes at the tournament? So how we looking for people that want to come but just ain't paid yet? Could you add next to the names what armies people are planing on playing?

[Jonik]

Ooo prizes! (not that I've got much chance of winning! )

Guard for me.

[MacVurrich]

prizes

1st  2nd  and 3rd exempt from doing the dishes at the end of the day :O

[Evil_Toast]

Myself will be Tau again .

Rob I think is feeling a bit masochistic of late and might bring either Deathwing or pure Deamonhunters . 

[666_Mutley_666]

ill be bring my necrons or me deamons,depending on which 1 can get finished in time lol

*note to self* must not take bikes to third tournament in a row

[Dux Aurelius Elysius]

Probably Space Marines if I have enough of a force.  More likely Eldar though.

[Chuckles, The Space Marine Clown]

Tyranids. Like always. Next time there's a tournament, assuming I can make it down from Newcastle (on Tyne, not under Lyme), I'll have something different but for now it's the old standby

[Changeyname]

i'll be bringin my Waaagh with me

umm btw, just to clarify something in the rules pack im not sure on...
mission one, point two "if a unit is within 3" of more than one objective it is only counted once"

which objective would you count it against, would it be a player decision, closest one to it or another one?

cheers

edit: having thought about the problem i've come to realise that it wouldnt matter in the slightest anyways cos its just total VP's and not contested etc so meh nevermind

edit 2: (sorry) another thing occurs to me, will we be using the scoring units rules that you have to kill everyone for troops in addition to having all other units score or will that be suspended in favour of having half unit strength negate scoring status for troops as well?
