I'd like to attend, but I cannot possibly tell you what I'm going to be doing in 10 months time.
the winner will be decided throughout the course of the tournament... the scoring of which will be decided through an overly complicated and gizmotronic spread sheet developed by the devil himself.
what flavour do people want their ass kicking?
And that daemonic spread sheet is useful to an extent until I get fed up with it and refer to my hap-hazard scribblings on the back of army lists, rules packs and whatever else I had at hand to note down people's results.
HA! As if... ;D
As for the random game length, I played 2 games last time that only went 5 turns, whilst this meant I got to look around at other games, it also meant i done less gaming myself! The other thing is that the random game length can be the difference between winning or losing - which whilst nice tactically, means that some people on the day will have a better chance of scoring more points simply because of the roll they get in each game for its length.
This isn't as fair, and doesn't promote a level playing field - as opposed to having a fixed game length.
I am definitely interested, but I need to find out when my wife wants to book our summer holiday- I am not sure she wants to plan that far in advance. Unfortunately I don't think "I have a wargames tournament so we can't go on holiday" will fly with her...
While I in some ways agree I think with reserves being able to be used to minimise the disadvantage of not going first, the person who wins more of the rolls to choose going first or second would have a big advantage compared to other people where games were a fixed length.
Grudge Match!!!!
Well ok, but I'm gonna be mean! And try not to turn up with a softy softy marine biker army this time!

Hymirl, remember we have to fight for the glorious title of actual 8th place holder for the 8th tournament.
Oh, you know what? We'll just settle it in the final when we both get there this time round, okay? But I'll be damned if I'll be fighting for 1st place, I just want that 8th place spot secured.
Well ok, but I'm gonna be mean! And try not to turn up with a softy softy marine biker army this time!
In that vein I wouldn't mind playing 1750 I'm sure it wouldn't be the end of the world. Just tell people to keep the pace up! It won't make that much difference in the long run, I find most people tend to take 1500 point armies and add a land raider or something!i find that as well. i remember when i was in the states. we have a scaled tourney (4 games 1k +250 each round) and one player added 3 LR's , 1 each round to 1750.

On a side note, for my extra 500 points to make 2000 I've just added a squad of 19 Plague Marines w/ Champion, Fist and 2 Meltas :P
And to reiterate, we'll definitely be playing random game length but fixed time limits (normally 2 hours a game), ignore O!nk's heretic ramblings.
Hymirl, remember we have to fight for the glorious title of actual 8th place holder for the 8th tournament.........
But wwhy that's only an EXTRA unit of bikerrNobz not much in it really :)On a side note, for my extra 500 points to make 2000 I've just added a squad of 19 Plague Marines w/ Champion, Fist and 2 Meltas :P...erm... on second thoughts, lets scrap upping the limit :o lol
You know, in the process of thinking up lists for this thing, I came to a realization; I seem to actually hate winning. Every competitive army list I've considered, I have subsequently rejected on the grounds that I don't like it for some ineffable reason. Seriously, what is wrong with me? I hope the Tyranid re-release makes the stuff I've got more competitive... Seems unlikely somehow
yea, checking the average time line of 2000pt games will help make the choice. I do also like the idea of an escalation type day as well... though putting together armies for this sort of thing can be very difficult and I would have thought favours some forces over others?
Well, it was just a musing - having suffered with my Tau due to short games. And really through no fault of my own - i think all the tau players had trouble on the day. I mean, it takes a tau army at least three turns to capture an objective (that is occupied).
Generally, you need to allow at least two turns of shooting to clear the enemy (where another army can shoot and assault to have the same effect). Then you need to be able to move into range of hte objective... which will again take at least one, maybe two turns.
To make matters worse they are simply no good at holding it once there!
What this means is that a Tau army has to start manouvring and clearing objectives on turn 2... whilst other armies are still happily targetting enemy threats and whittling down the enemy force before thinking about objectives!
In any case, it means I won't be using the Tau this time around.
My army for Saturday is going to struggle a lot at 1000 points; I'm just hoping I draw the right kind of opponent. Not so worried about the other point limits. 500 especially will be amusing (20x Beserkers w/ Champ and Fist).Oh yeah it going to struggle

But bear in mind I'm pure awesomesauce and might see an amazing tactic at the word go which you have breezed over and not even considered I'd attempt. :P
Remember on Monday when everyone told me that Chris' Khorne Daemons were going to munch me and I didn't stand a chance and I went 9-0 in Kill Points and tabling him in just over an hour? Yeah, that's right, same might happen on Saturday ;)
I propose nobody with less than 11051 posts is allowed to attend.
I also vote we ban anyone who has less than 342 posts on the basis that they're not an active member of the forum! ;DBribary won't get you extra points (posts at time 343 :))
I propose nobody with less than 11051 posts is allowed to attend.
just you going then? lol
ill be back for this one, will have to try and motivate myself to paint my other armies so im not using demons all the time lol
I will turn up with one of three armies just damn well cant figure out which! ;D
I also vote we ban anyone who has less than 342 posts on the basis that they're not an active member of the forum! ;DJust because DADentitist and I got the first two places... ::)

1500pts is the size of game I'm used to
If you really want don't go above 1750 in my opinon, but 1500 isn't broken so why fix it?
Would like to put myself down for a place now.
This will possibly inspire me to finish painting my army and actually get some games in between now and then.
Cause it's getting pretty boring and cookie-cutter?
so, random game length will definately be kept then, in a resounding democratic vote! as for the scoring, its still something we can look at, it was the first time we used that scoring type i think... still - that sort of number crunching is best left to google and erriond! lol
I think the problem I have is how it interacts with the scoring system (which I wasn't too fond of).
In both 4-objective games I'd wiped out my opponents troop choices, grabbed two objectives and had several of my own troop choices moving up on the remaining objectives. Then the game ends. Losing 2 points in each game was frustrating knowing that my opponent could do virtually nothing to stop me from holding the objectives in another turn.
And with only 4/5 points seperating the top 5 players...
In respect to that I think that the scoring should be altered maybe to offer more chances for the winner to score big. If an opponent isn't holding any objectives at the end of the game and the winner has several it makes sense that the winner should score better.
IMO. :)
i know tarrin... its not as though we are that far away... though jonik lives even closer and i have NEVER fought him! lol!!!
What?! All I read there is 'I want the entire cake shop and to eat it, too!' You could've just advanced on the objectives you failed to take a turn or two earlier? But, oh noes, then you wouldn't have supplied sufficient firepower to take the opposing squads out or offered them different options on the battlefield and they'd still be holding them. You chose one tactical route and were rewarded fairly, quit your whining :P
I guess it's not having played a tournemant before and having no experience of this type of thing. My mindset has always been that a win is a win no matter the margin of victory.
Popsical obviously doesnt sound too sure... lol...
So anyone actually booked a place yet?
Are Inqusitorial Allies or Inducted Guard allowed as per the standard rules in the Daemon/Witch hunter books?
Right lads!
The 8th tournament was a great success, the biggest event we've had I think! It saw a real turn around for lots of the gamers who usually enjoy top spots, so no doubt there will be some payback needed at the next event!

The games:
we will hopefully get 4x games in over the day.
the format for these will be confirmed in a tournament pack which will be available to download from teh BFG website in the near future. This pack will also detail all the games and rules etc.
The armies:
- your armies will need to be 1750pts
- non-codex print armies, such as armoured company / kroot mercenaries are of course allowed! in all cases you MUST bring ALL the relevant rules in order to play with that army
- forge world IS allowed. you may use anything without structure or mass points as part of your army abiding by the forgeworld rules, and of course, you must bring those rules with you. if you wish to use a forge world army list (as opposed to just adding in units) then you may do so
- in all cases, the most up to date rules are to be used. This includes the Forge World Imperial Armour Apocalypse book.
- the forge world flyer rules will be used (not those from Apocalypse).
- the only exception is that, as per Apocalypse, Pintle Mounted Weapons will count as AA (anti-aircraft weapons) - this is to give some armies a fighting chance against flyers.
- your army does not need to be painted, but additional points will be awarded to those that are
- all armies and units must be "official", no VDR units will be used nor armies without official publications (codeces or otherwise). If you are unsure about your army then ask here first!
please look through the above, its all subject to change according to our concensus.

Once tickets have been purchased your name will appear here.
What I've forgotten:
lots probably...
As you may have noted, I'ts pretty much a familiar format but with one tiny alteration - up until now we have been playing 1500pt games, but I want to see what people think about upping the points limit to enjoy more varied games and army lists.
These, and other points are of course up for discussion as we firm up the finer points of the tournament!
Most armies will be at a disadvantage against flyers but then again most flyers are pants.
I'll be there work permitting. Will have to hijack Hymril for a lift :)
However, there will be some exceptions if a player has gone to an exceptional amount of time and effort to make a beautiful objective marker which is on a slightly larger base:
http://www.bfgclub.org.uk/Fergus.htm (http://www.bfgclub.org.uk/Fergus.htm)
Scroll down until you find Chris Thomas' rather intimidating labour of love. Notice how he is the only winner of the Fergus award which hasn't been Fergus...
however, any such blatant abuse of the rules will obviously not be met kindly. and we could always enforce docking of points to any unscrupulous players! im sure that g00gle would approve of this, particularly if it means that he benefits from it :P
Is not the problem certain units are going to be much harder to do, I mean to make a storm raven for example would require a signifigant investment of money and time as well as a decent level of ability which in turn does mean a limit on who would be able to field them.....
Darn it, I forgot the blood angels would be allowed at this tournament. I think Blood Angels may spell the end of my Tau army's tournament days until the new codex.
I'll have to paint up my space wolves or I'll be bringing my dark eldar. If I bring my space wolves, below is a link to the models I've ordered to use as thunderwolf cavalry:
http://www.mrdandy.com/wargamma-battle-wolves/ (http://www.mrdandy.com/wargamma-battle-wolves/)
Hope there'll be ok.
For my dark eldar (because the warp beasts models are so so awful) I've used 5 of the new undead dire wolves. They are on the same base size and are the same size, does anyone have any objections ?
Rathstar
Only Blood Angels are making you think your Tau's tournament days are numbered?! :P
My little blue men may just have to come to defend their honour :)
On a different note, can I just ask what we are doing about random game length? It seems a bit unfair to randomise the number of turns on a per game basis, but maybe I'm wrong on that...
And one of the other games you DID win (rather than draw) because of the additional turns :P
Whereas I got screwed several times because the game ended on turn 7. More than once I was winning by the end of turn 5, drawing turn 6 and then beaten on turn 7
are gargantuan creatures allowed? as they werent last year but it doesnt say anything about them in the rules for this years tournament
I know it can be a pain for some people, though even Hymirl managed to get someone far more technologically competent than he to do it! hehe!
premetheus / mac, could you please double check for me the list of people that have bought tickets, you can post it up right here, or send me an e-mail direct. either way, i'll be able to edit the first post etc.
Its not looking very "40Konline UK Tournament".

.......The only thing outstanding is a tournament pack, i know erriond normally puts these together, where are we with this?
er, don't think a 14 year old can run a tournament for a bunch of 20-30 year olds........
I'm sure you could make one yourself, but no. Sorry! Just a dozen or so of us from the UK starting a yearly meet up. :)
my friend ben has had to pull out, you can remove him from the list
my friend ben has had to pull out, you can remove him from the list
Will you be bringing someone along in his place?
In that case, as noted on teh first post, be sure to contact Mac in order to arrange a refund.
once i receive final confirmation of this i will adjust the attending list and we can open up the ticket for re-sale.
Got an email back saying event is full, that was darn quick :-(
So if I understand correctly you're moving from 25 to 48 players and are charging £10-£12 per ticket.
So at 48 players your revenue is 48*11=£528.
If you got 25 players your revenue shortfall would be £253 or £10.12 per player. I can see most players balking at being asked to pay nearly twice the price.
At 30 players your shortfall is 198 and is £6.60 per player. Again, probably quite a bit of groaning if you come around with cap in hand.
At 35 players your shortfall is £143 or £4.08 per player. I think this might be the tipping point.
At 40 players you're looking for £2.20 per player and at 45 players you're asking for 73p per player. I don't see anyone complaining.
Does that help? (Note: I don't know whether your costs actually are £528) (Note2: Bear in mind that obviously I have a vested interest in you going for the bigger space because I want to play ;D)
Right then... that means that IF you are interested in coming to the tournament, but have not been able to get a place yet then you should e-mail mac expressing your interest IMMEDIATELY.

Email sent! 8)
just as am update on this - player who have already booekd/paid will not need to pay any extra
the only inrease is due to the booking date
to increase the hall size will require the Club to pay extra rental and hire extra tressel tables and acquire more table boards.
We worked out that at the most the club with all revenue would only mean that at the end of the day BFG would roughly end up with £1 profit
oh, the first post has had people contactingthey are ok
Macvurrich@hotmail.com
40kolf_gt@bfgclub.org.uk
has done for the past few years...
would you rather we change it to the one above from now on?
If the trophy thing is adopted, please contact me, as i can get them at a cheap rate as i sell them in my business, this would be cheaper than any other way bar going direct to a manufacturer. :D
Sheepz, be sure to contact Mac, as you are still eligible for a full refund. I will also double check with him to see who is the "official" first reservist whom we can offer the position to first...
Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it, though if it makes you feel any better, I look less and less likely to even drop along too :(
I will try to check that every army list is legal throughout the day; I haven't yet decided on appropriate action if they are not, though...
To make our tournaments more interesting we have never implemented a
consistent scoring system from one tournament to the next.
We do this for a number of reasons:
• To piss Oink off when he thinks he deserves second place.
The bastard will be playing as well so feel free to accuse him of cheating,
lying, stealing, bending the rules and clearly having an agenda months in
advance, knowing exactly how the day will pan out, how the dice will roll and
compensating accordingly to place higher than he should have.
I would like to take this opportunity to re-iterate that I was robbed thanks to you deciding to "adapt" the scoring system part way through that tournament... coincidentally, you benefitted from the change... interesting that...
The rulespack refers to me as a smarmy rules bastard! This is completely unfair! I'm very upset!
On that note, do you feel like looking through the FAQ for anything I've missed or you think is wrong? :P
On that note, do you feel like looking through the FAQ for anything I've missed or you think is wrong? :P
I did have a look though the FAQ and I approve of your clarifications. ;)
Just you wait, when all else fails and hes dead last he'll find some faults with the system :P then we wont hear the last of it ;)
but competition will be hard with all the newcomers trying to make a splash.
i will have to go downwards to dorset.
MK downwards is pretty easy with an early start. its the after bit. people staying sat night?
dizz, i think hymirl has my mob no. drop me a line with plansGood stuff
you might as well add it to Dizz's right now ;-)I can even tattoo it to my arse if like.
I can even tattoo it to my arse if like.
It can go along side the picture of your momma
well fellas, letme know. i will happily stay for drinks and to laugh at Hymirl.
Now, please do 40KOnline proud with this event. By proud I mean - be honourable, be funny, suck it up when it hurts (hey Oink), and have a lot of fun. The fun is the most important point else why bother with this nonsense?
Any one else going to issue a challenge?
Any one else going to issue a challenge?
Grudge Match!!!!
Well ok, but I'm gonna be mean! And try not to turn up with a softy softy marine biker army this time!
What i want to know is: i have two tyrant guard conversions that simply dont stand up on 40mm bases so they are on 80mm bases instead, i know this is technically illegal, but if i specify before each game that they will only bases to base with at most 7 figs which is the most a 40mm base can do, will this be ok? :)
Whats wrong with these people ive finished my army in 10 months from scratch including buying them.
That i may add in a year when i have got married, add to this the fact i work 6 days a week and have 3 kids and a dog to walk daily, and i just dont get the not painted thing ;)
Feeble, feeble, feeble lmao ::)
@chuckles you maybe unique still, I don't field tervigons, mawlocs, trygons, warrior primes, genestealers,old one eye, gargoyles, hive guard,swarmlord,pyrovores,devourergants,flying rippers, shrikes, harpies, parasite, doom, deathleaper, winegums,tyrannofex or venomthropes.
So as you see lots of choice lol
Flavour wise they are like a good cocktail. Lots of things, looks bizarre but taste so good when mixed all together.
If it helps Oink, described it as, and i quote, "a crazy ass list"...
...with your petulant behaviour, crying and throwing of minis when you lose ;)
I am shocked at the lack of grudge going around.
Hope!
blind luck...
They would be vryk and greg, although in later rounds if they are level weith me then I suppose I will have to wallop them too :P
I would offer a grudge, but oink has bottled out this year lol, it appears bill won't be attending either.
Sorry I can't remember the other two players from last year, although the guard player who beat me deserves a damn good wallop this year, if he's coming.
The only other people I can grudge I would rather not play in the first two rounds as I play them fairly regularly anyways.

@vryk, quote yoda "there is no try, only do!"
@oink if you can find out the guard player who beat me (by fluke obviously lol) then I will grudge.
Chuckles try necrons instead your almost guaranteed to be unique then lol
What are the armies that are being brought... (fill in the missing Names and armies that will be represented as best you can - for the front page)
But, is anyone insane enough to be fielding Necrons or Dark Eldar (2 oldest codexes) or have you all succomb to Codex Creep ? (sarcasm - jibe - etc)
Anyway, as the time is slowly approaching, and since I will be missing the counterpart tournie here (held on the 14th of August). I wish you all good luck, and I ask that you take pics, kick arse, have fun, and then report to share with the rest of us (when you sober up).
Cheers
@ Tarrin, I actually hope that your Tau kick the bloody pulp out of everything they meet in the tournie; unfortunately, I just don't think that will happen if there are serious time restirctions of a limit of 5 turns max.
In regard to the DE and Necrons being too bland etc at present, I dis-agree but that is a totally different topic (and I will drop it).
I am surprised to see a potential of 3 Eldar players as the Orks and Nids normally outnumber them.
Any one else going to issue a challenge?
*slaps g00gle5 around the face with a rubber glove*
lets see if a can table you 2 years running ;)
You stepping up glaug?
Chuckles loves hymirl's crack.
I would love to see that game.
This week is going to be busy, but I think I might be able to more or less finish everything off by Friday night...Friday night 3am modelling session mate?
I'd quite like a crack at Hymirl, as I've yet to play him. Let's see who wears the trousers on 40KO- the mods or the vets.
No, just no. No one should ever be unfortunate to witness such an event willingly or otherwise not. $20 on pay-per-perv offers you the chance to satisfy your own desires all the same.

It's tradition by now lol
BTW I'm free tomorrow and maybe Thursday but I'll have to check with missus on that one
@Hymirl: it is on, in a matter similar to Donkey KongI've always been worried about that Monkey's menstruation cycle, poor bastard seems to be bleeding more often than not
Oh, Denny, I somehow missed that post of yours the first time round!
Alright then, you cocky git. I accept and am going to make you pay for the unbelieveable lack of mishaps on your behalf last time round.
I can't wait to obliterate some stupid space puppies.
i could melt all my minis with solvents and flame then dip them in my own faeces and they would still perform better than your eldar ;)
It's not the tools, it@s the talent. 8)

If your typing and proofreading skills are similar to your tabletop 'talent' then you are in trouble. Hiyooooo.
Edit: After I mistype talent. Ahem.
... I got the mushroom treatment until last night lol. ;)
all I have left to do is rip my warriors to bits, find a way to get the beslubbering Forge World wings on them and paint my remaining amphetamine parrot. Cracking under pressure? Me? Surely you jest!
That's exactly what I'm planning to do, as it happens...
Heh he's stuck at work till later then I'm giving him a hand getting his stuff ready
Any last minute questions, queries, comments, backchat, amphetamine parrot-talking or grudge match challenges?
Gladly :PI think what he means is he's playing Hymirl in a challenge match, but then again I guess we can have challenges in the second round as well so meh

Thanks to Tarrin for letting me keep an objective.
Got to have a great curry and chat with Hymirl, Tarrin, Andromidius, Chuckles and Changeyname.
(Though possibly not enough to save me from Rummy's title hammer).

Teg, our very own stats guru, will do something magical with the results in the near future...
