Title: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Libertine on August 17, 2006, 04:10:16 PM
The 4th 40konline UK tournament


Ok guys I’m starting this thread to we can discuss what you want to do for the next event in a couple of month’s time. Here are some ideas im working on…

Finding a bigger venue – The venue we currently use is a little small and a little expensive for what it is, so I was thinking of looking around for a larger venue

Inviting people from other websites – As fun as the tournaments are there only 15 or so 40konline members from the London are and only 4 or 5 people willing to travel from out side London, so I thorught maybe we should invite people along from Warseer etc to decide once and for all which website is truly the greatest

Seeding competitors – Rather that having the first round being drawn randomly I thought we could devise a seeding system based on performances in last tournaments so that an experienced player like Bill would be playing against other experienced players like Oink etc rather than having a miss-match against a relative n00b

Playing 1,000 point games – At the first 40konline tournament we played 1,000 games rather than 1,500 this meant we were able to fit in5 games rather than just three, I was just wondering what others thought of doing this.

Introducing army comp and painting scores.
– Basically I thought this might be a fun way of raising the already high standards of painting as well as encouraging balanced army lists…

Anyway these are all the ideas I have for know, but I would love to know what you think, so please let me know…

Huzzah for 40KO tourneys!

This is for november ish right? I might not be able to make the next one since I shall be at Cardiff Uni.

1000pts seems fine, though its not too small...
I think I'm ok with other sites, if that aids the venue choice.

OI! I resent that! I did better than you Ryan :P At least I lasted until turn 6 and killed on turn 1 :P

playing 1000 pt games is not a bad idea... as not only will it allow us to get in far more games, it will also allow the 4x4 tables to work in our armies favour more... as some armies find 4xx4 hard to manouvre. if people are a little adverse to the 1000pt limit, then it may be useful considering say, 1250pts... like the americans do (!)

seeding players is a great idea... but this, in my opinion, WONT work with members from other sites as well... more so if there are MORE players... not that i am really against inviting people from other sites, though this will mean we WILL NEED to find another venue first... PLUS get access to more terrain / boards etc.

anyways, battery is about to die on this laptop, so im off! back soon.

What about a mix of sized games? A couple of 1000pts and a couple of 1500pts? Maybe even some combat patrol... maybe I'm getting a little over-ambitious here lol.

Just checking, is it in fact November time you're thinking of?

Actually just noticed Oinks post, and like the compromise of 1250pts.

Anyway, just staking in my interest in this thread and whatnot, and saying hi to everyone once more.

Post by: Shas'Oink on August 18, 2006, 04:18:07 AM
well a range of game sizes is a nice twist... but we dont want to make too many things too complicated... i know some people are really put off by small size games and that may swing their decision to come or not.

saying that starting games say with 400pt or 500pt patrol, then working up has been done before... in GCN campaign weekends for one. it will have the effect of meaning that even if you loose your game horribly in the first round you wont be so far behind on victory points. though im not sure im in favour of this, as it doesnt really keep a consistency between your games... the great thing is to play different armies with the same army and see how you fare against the opposition..

Yeah forgeworld stuff is allowed. However the idea is that you should let your opponent know BEFORE the game begins that you are using forge world models and/or an unofficial army list. That way if you opponent did not want to play against such units he could always switch opponents with someone who did not mind.

Have a feeling who this is directed at :P

I have to say normally i'm not too fussed with forge world rules as much as i despise them, but after my last game against those forge world griffons they really did break my morale as i couldnt do a single thing to stop them.

I just found them extremely unbalanced and dominated the game for such a small price to pay and really wish forge world thought a little harder before they published them. I think against necrons they are at their peak so it was an unfortunate draw i got to go against them, but i think if i fielded my deathwing or Eldar the outcome would of been very similar.

So im slightly opposed to forge world this time round...

Holy crap, already? I'm interested, and I think letting other sites get involved is a good idea. I'm not too fussed either way when it comes to points values, although it will make me that much more screwed if I forget 160 points of my army again :P

Post by: Naikee on August 18, 2006, 10:39:26 AM
   hi guys. i think 1250 would be cool, if we made it 1 hour more we could fit in 4 games. anyway inviting people from other websites would be harder and how many websites ??? a new venue would be harder, the one we had is good as we could fit around 8 boards. if we tried we could fit in 10. but if we get a bigger place we need more terrain.so roughly what time in november, and will it be on saturday??

im tempted to crack out the tau once again... but with the new eldar book coming out how can i deny them a trial by fire!!!

we should discuss teh type of tournament too... as in, are we goigntfor the same format as last time... with a VP accumulation system...

or we can go for somethign a little different if anyone has any ideas!?

Bonjourno.......... ................... ..

Well i've finally got my internet back up, sooooo time for the obligatory thanking which i missed out on. I want to thank every who came it was a very fun and painful day (James will know what im talking about). I especially would like to thank Bill for lending my brother Morgan his Black Templars and big up his lovely DE lord. Most of all i would like to thank the organisers who without whom i probably could have won  ;). Seriously though it was a great day and i'm looking forward to the next tourney. THEN KHORNE SHALL HAVE SKULLS IN A VOLUME SUCH THAT THE GALAXY HAS NEVER SEEN, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD


Which brings me on to the next point i agree with Night lord guy (memory escapes me) the next tournament needs to be in uni holiday time, because im off to Hull in about a month and its easier to get to Scotland than it is to get to London from there.......

I did enjoy the 1500 points games but i suppose i would enjoy have the chance to collect skulls from a greater multitude of opponents appeals to me. As to venue have you guys looked at school halls? Big open spaces and shouldn't be to expensive.

Post by: Lorizael on August 20, 2006, 11:29:06 AM
I'm determined to make this one. Really. :)

1000 points would be good as it fits in more games and 1250 is such an odd size.
Forgeworld isn't a problem for me. It usually involves hideously expensive vehicles that can be blown up as easily as regular vehicles.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Naikee on August 22, 2006, 05:03:33 PM
i dont see why people are against 1250. i mean it is smaller than 1500 so we can fit in more games and is more than 1000 so we can put in some more cool stuff.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Jonik on August 22, 2006, 06:36:30 PM
I'm not seeing it either. It allows a few more variants to be allowed too. Such as mechanised...

I'm not fussed. 1000, 1250, 1500, it's all good. I'm hoping to have my Witch Hunters force finished in time for the next tournament. PH34R my anti-psyker powers Naikee!

i wont be using an ulthwe army so i will probably have like one maybe 2 seers. the new codex will be out by november and their wont be any ulthwe most likely so no big councils.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Erand on August 23, 2006, 11:09:47 AM
Hey all,

I will be up in Leeds by November and it is a long long way to come back but I will do my best! Unfortunetly that does mean that I won't be around to sort the terrain out as I have been for the last 2 so a new venue is needed. (But I think Ryan said something to that effect already.)

As for army size I agree with Oink that 1000 or 1250 might be better for some armies on a 4x4 table however having not seen the new Eldar codex I will have to save my vote until I know what my army is going to look like!

Happy gaming,

Erriond

Post by: Chuckles, The Space Marine Clown on August 23, 2006, 12:11:59 PM
Well the last one had quite a few, and the Codex is getting rereleased soon, so I'd be inclined to agree

Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Chuckles, The Space Marine Clown on August 23, 2006, 02:19:15 PM
I really hope the new Codex has a rule stating that all Eldar count as psykers, so I can actually get some use out of the Witch Hunter wargear. I mean, as it says at the back of Codex: Witch Hunters:
Quote
The entire Eldar race are deviant witches.

i highly doubt all eldar will be made psykers. from what rumours i have heard is that i will be able to deploy a seer council, and that i can take wraithguard as troops if i have a big enough squad, sayind that they are only rumours but i shall wait and see.

But then, Tyranids are, pound for pound, the army with the most psykers at the moment. What's up with that?

Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Granite Slam on September 6, 2006, 01:57:27 PM
   I'd love to come, the date is more important than the location since i'm going to have to drive to anywhere that it is going to be held. (I really shouldn't have moved away from London if I wanted to continue gaming) Working in retail November is not an ideal time for me, but given enough notice I should be able to get the weekend off to attend.
   Game size? I'd quite like to see it set at 1250. Why? For the simple reason that no-one builds armies to that size in the UK, we all tend to stick to 500pt increments, so it would be very interesting to see what people come up with.

Now for the generous part..........
   Assuming that I can get the time off of work, i'll happily give a lift to up to 3 people that can get to the M4, preferably a service station. Don't ask which bit, if i'm coming i'm driving all of it!

Hopefully I should be driving by then, so anyone who lives in/near Coventry/Birmingham or lives between London and there and can't go because they can't sort transport should feel free to hitch a lift. I can get up to 3 other people in my car as it's a Ford Focus and everyone will have cases of stuff.

Hello folks.

So where is the tournie based? If London - where abouts? I'm one of these northern monkeys and I don't generally travel to the big city where all the lights twinkle... I've heard the streets are paved with gold...

Seriously though, there has been a lot of talk about the army sizes - which is good - but there has been no mention of time, location, duration or food.

I would love to join in and I'm sure my pal Cepheus will as well, but London can be a ball ache to get into. I take it the majority of 40ko members are London based and are of an age where they can't go unless their mother is their to hold their hands? Not intended to be offensive, just trying to get a lay of the land so to speak. Has there been any thought in moving out from London to the Northern side? It wouldn't have to be far out of London - it makes the whole event more accessible for everyone.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Jonik on September 8, 2006, 10:45:34 AM
The average age of the last tournamet has to have been about 19 or 20, but there are some on either end. The reason for lack of talk on time or venue is because ryan is looking for a bigger location (or at least a cheaper one), so the talk has moved to the game side rather than the loction and date.

Its based on outer london, so not too much hassle to get in, but that probably depends on which side you're coming from.

As for food, its probably best to bring your own lunch, but there is a shop across the road which sells basic provisions such as crisps etc.

As for moving the tournament out of londen and up north, the people who are running it live in london. I'm sure people wouldnt mind if you set one up in the north though ;)
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Krom_Stormbrow on September 8, 2006, 11:05:07 AM
I don't think I was clear with my wording. I'm not asking or suggesting for it up north. Just slightly more north London such as Luton or Hemel Hempstead.

I'm based in Hull so I would be M1 direction - which side of London will it be on?
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Jonik on September 8, 2006, 11:10:01 AM
Well I'm currently in Harpenden which is just next to Luton, and the drive I took (sorry forgotten the route now) only took 40 mins since it was on the motorway, then off and you were practilcly there.

For more specific details checking the previous tournament's thread would probably give you much more deatails. That is however, if we stay at that venue.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: -bill- on September 9, 2006, 06:42:05 PM
In the past the tourney was held near brent cross, which is north west london - so it's about 5 miles in from the M25, going in on the A41 or M1.

 If you get to the end of the M1 you're only 10 minutes away - but there again that was the last location. Remeber also that on saturday mornings that bit of london is pretty much a ghost town compared to a weekday. I make it up there from bournemouth in about two and a half hours and stop for breakfast on the way; on a Friday night it would 4 hours plus

Free parking across the road form the venue and the little shop does sell most stuff -- grocery shop rather than newsagents

Be warned guys that if you don't know the area it's not the easiest place to find. I got to London and two hours later still hadn't found the club. Part of that was my own fault for not looking at the sign to be fair, but part of it was also the fact that I went to the wrong tube station. If it's in the same place, do not go to brent cross tube station, even though the venue is in brent cross.

I checked back on the last tourney topic and it isn't that far from the motorway. Just going to be  case of seeing if I can get celephus to come down as well.

What the comp like for relative beginners? I date back from Rogue trader and dropped out early 2nd ed. Finally come back - as a result I may as well be a beginner with how much rules have changed. Celephus isn't much different either.

Thanks for all the info guys. I'll come back with info if we can do it. I'll also keep checking back to see about the venue.  :)

For beginners the rule is pretty simple. Hope to god you don't play bill or one of the other experienced dark eldar players. Other than that you should do fine provided you have a reasonably good idea of how your army works.

No, seriously if you're a newbie to 4th you will get guidance and patience - what you won't get is the game surrendered.

as to finding the place. I got the postcode off Ryan (liberttine) and stuck it in TheAA.co.uk online route planner  and voila a route map. Google maps does the same

I'm quite keen to play bill or indeed any of the Dark Eldar players. Last time I got hammered by Ryan and his damn Orks (or rather, my damn Orks), and gave a mighty kicking to some marines and naikee's Eldar. I've got most of the major armies covered, so now it just leaves Necrons and those slippery little Dark Eldar.

Yea i know what you mean with wanting to play certain people. I haven't played Bill's Dark Eldar or Lewis's Alaitoc armies yet, which are armies i use and also play against regulary and would perform much better against if i was drawn against them.

I am grateful for getting the expereince of playing other armies such as speed freaks and imperial guard as they are not things i'm used to fighting, but i think i could easily upstart some of the rankings if i played the better dark eldar and eldar players, as they are armies i know intricately inside out and how to beat them.

Oh Tyranids aren't a problem either as they are another of my armies :P

...but forgeworld griffons, keep them away, god damn keep them away from me!

Post by: Shas'Oink on September 11, 2006, 12:00:30 PM
date and location appear to be still up in the air... and of course they will probably be the last things to be finalised... but until then we can sort out the other details... such as the points and any other special bit we might do... such as if we will play set missions and with which special rules... or if people want to run some VDR stuff by everyone to see if they will be able to use them etc...

my only concern with a new venue is that, with the last venue being at the club, another venue will mean that we will have to transport the gaming tables and terrain... and my little three door wont fit much in it!!!

thats the other concern... if there are LOTS of people, then we wont have enough tables and terrain!!!  :o

wozzizname... mercurious is off to uni in hull i think... and kept saying he would not be able to come "chickening out in other words". though this may hold some hope for him if you can stand him in your car! lol.

I did say I would be coming from Hull. I would have thought there would be a spot for him if I come down to this one. There are a few things I need to sort out first. If I get leave from the missus for good behaviour, if Celephus is going to head down as well and if I have the weekend free. I work in advertising and it can at that time of year be quite common for weekends taken up before I can blink.

As I say, if we do head down I should think there would be an available seat (so long as I have no food stains left anywhere  :D)

If I can't make this one, I am certainly going to make every effort for the next tourney. I will keep you all posted.

Yes you can go as well.

But it will be in November and I think it's highly unlikely that you'd be able to make it.

I believe pipplez are trying to get a new, larger and more snazzy venue sorted out, with me and a few others offering the use of vehicules to transportimicate the scenery etc.

Hope I'll see you there spider. What army do you play out of interest?

I play mainly Eldar (15+ or so years :) ), but also witch hunters and Harlequins and I am thinking of starting a deathwing list. However, due to current time constraints (painting etc), it would almost certainly be the eldar list. What that will actually look like after the new codex is anyone's guess...

i still havent heard anything from libertine... not sure if hes had any luck organising a new venue... besides, as mentioned, the lack of tables will hinder us regardless.

ill try pming him to see if rumours of his death are grossly misconstrued... and see if we can organise a time or date for this thing... more than likely at the same location.

Excuses Ecuses Excuses
Hey guys sorry ive taken sooooooooooooo long to get this news letter to you, but belive me I have been extreamly busy at uni and with my part time job so  organising the 4th tournament has had to take something of a back seat.

The Current State of Play….
Unfortunately despite my best efforts I have been unable to find a club that can accommodate more than 20 - 30 gamers so unfortunately we are going to have to keep this tournament strictly for members of 40konline and we will not be able to invite along members of other websites.

Location
So far we have a copule of possible locations for the event, Either we can use the club we have used for the lst three tournaments which Erriond has very kindly agreed to provide for us. This club has 20+ gaming tables and is located in BrentCross (North London Zone 3 on the Northern Line.) This location has been selected as it is ideal for those of you traveling from outside London as it is located just 5minuets away from Golders Green coach station meaning that people will not need to splash out on expensive train fares to get to the tournament (If anyone requires any info on booking coaches please feel free to Email me @ Ryan_Brookes@hotmail.co.uk and ill sort it for you).

OR (and this is the option I proffer) we can use a new venue in east London which has 30+ gaming tables and is being very kindly provided by Evil_Toast

I need YOU to let me know which venue you would preffer so that I can finalise the arrangements this week.

Date

The Date of the Tournament is still very much up in the air. I need you guys to let me know which dates you can make and which dates tou cant make. I will then be able to give you all the exact date of the tournament this Tuesday. 

The Rules

Most of the rules we used last time worked very well sooooooo We will once again be playing 1,500 point games* with deep strike and infiltration in use on a 3+. However!!! Oink has come up with a brill new scoring system which works thus… (oink explains)
basically, instead of awarding a score for the result of the game the suggestion was to instead have a victory point total score.

the idea is that at the end of each game you work out your victory point difference;

points killed - points saved... including any additional pooints for objectives etc... (basically exactly as you work out YOUR victory point score)

this means that every person will have their individual vicoty point difference for each game. and the results from the second game are added to the results of the first, the results of the third game added to that too, and so on.

in the end, the winner will be the person with the highest score!

one of the reasons i thought this was a nicer way of doing it is that it encourages players to score points throughout all of their games, so that all games each round will be exciting and hard fought for their entirety. this is because the scoring encourages opponents to fight for every single victory point.

it also means that the margin of victory or loss is more important and has a greater emphasis on your scores. in the end, the scores you end up with are a better indication of how well you did. i also think that once all of it is done we can then easily draw up some simple graphs on excel plotting everyones performance over the day! a nice little addition!

in addition to this im giving an official thumbs up to the use of VDR and flyers etc

How to take Part
If you wish to take part in the Tournament the either email me @ Ryan_Brookes@hotmail.co.uk or make yourself known on the thread below...

Hey all, I am currently in Leeds and although it is a rather big sod to drive back to london I will gladly do it (these northern gamers freak me out ;)) On that note if anyone between here and london (i.e. along the M1 such as Manchester) would like a lift down in exchange for petrol money then they are more than welcome.

Ryan, although I had previously said I couldn't help out with the venue if you really need the same place as the last few times then let me know and I will do my best to get terrain and boards sorted.

Looking forward to it!

Ooooh! Pick me! Pick meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :P
That'd be grand if it's no trouble, once we know the date of the game we can sort it out over PM/e-mail/whatever.

Oh and by the way Libertine, I'd prefer it to be on a weekend day (so that I don't miss any lectures/tutorials).

i think we should frustrate eldar players and hold the event on the last saturday of october... not giving them a chance to get the new codex... plus, my saturdays are definately clear for the rest of october... and teh sooner we have the tournament the better! if nothing else it means we will be on track for our quarterly!

oh, and just to remind peeps... ryan has noted the points limit as 1500. is that ok with everyone!?

 
i am going to have to be boring and take sm although i dont liek them they are my only current edition 1000point army for i need 200 points more of guard


in short you might need an addition 500pts of marines... though im sure that we can sort you out the difference!

other than that... the location is not too much of a hindrance either way.... as long as maps are provided etc... guess its whichever is the best deal!

the date, as i said, i would REALLY prefer october time.

EDIT: I won't be able to do the last weekend of October as I have mid-terms on the following week. And I definately won't be able to get my army up to uni until Nov. The points limit is fine, and as we are allowed to use flyers I'm very happy!

If we are to be playing early november time then are we using the current or new Eldar codex?

but never fear... i will soon enough be buying MORE eldar stuff and have another falcon chassis to paint it on... showing the stages as i go.

all in good time dammit.

If it is okay with the majority of people on this board, I'd prefer the 18th. Simply because I think it's going to be more likely that I'll be visting home on the weekend of the 11th rather than the 4th, and thus I will only be able to pick up my models then.

A little bit of thread hijacking. Oink has some really nice freehand detail on his falcons and I wanted to know the colours and the shades he uses and how he highlights them up. Just for referance you understand... Though I will most likely just rip off his ideas and do exactly the same on my tanks. Just like with your jetbike conversions Jonik, I wait for a good idea to come along, steal it and make it a little bit better!

Just to pipe in here. I'm still keeping an eye.

If you play Dark Angels... use their codex, that's why it's there. I use Space wolves and I use the 3rd ed SW codex as that's what it is there for. The Space wolves loose quite a bit by not having being updated yet, but that's how it is.

You can use the full marine codex or your DA codex (Note: This will refer you to the marine codex, but only on specific sections. That is the only time you can mix and match the 'Dex's).

Also download the FAQ from the GW errata as this may just help you out.

I'm trying to wangle work to let me get the 18th but they seem to be laying hard ball.  >:(

Due to constant warnings about his attitude around the boards, along with unproper posts, Libertine was banned from the discussion board last week - a final warning before being completely banned. Not being able to put his provocative posting habits aside, he moved them to the General 40k board.
As a consequence of his status of being on "final warning" and this attempt to bypass the discussion board ban we had no choice but to ban him completely.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Shas'Oink on October 11, 2006, 11:04:53 AM
hmm... well that complicates things somewhat!?

he had the mailing list of everyone interested in the tournament.. lots of whom dont frequent the boards, well not this one at least.

that essentially means that the scope of people who will know about any tournament is now reduced to those who read this thread...

might have to txt him to see whats the current status of things and if he would happen to have a list of interested parties other than on his buddy list?

thanks for the heads up arcas

And it should still happen, but it wont be organised by Libertine through the site.

hmmm, that is a problem. Sadly I am not too surprised, the admins will ban people who don't behave (even after many warnings), no matter how useful their contribution. Libertine is not the first and won't be the last.

On to how we get round this problem. Well, we have his email address so we can still contact him, and we can find a lot of the people interested by combing all 4 tournament threads. A bit of hassle but not impossible. Libertine must have everyone not on these forums in his email account so we should be able to procede. So, now we need someone to volunteer to organise things. Any takers?

Well I don't want to organise things, but I'm going to drop him an e-mail to see if he's still going to be the head of operations. It shouldn't be too hard. He can just e-mail all us, or one of us who then posts the info up here.
I'll tell you what he says.

   Well, it is looking more and more unlikely that i'll be able to attend unless the date can be firmed up in the next day or so. Which is a real shame since my Tau have been practicising heavily just recently with the only opponent type yet to be faced scheduled for Sunday - a 1500pt Blood Angel army of sickness, I asked them to come up with the nastiest general list they could. We swapped lists last night and he laughed at me when he saw a lack of anything on a 40mm base, no kroot and no vespids. :(

Well, i didn't enjoy doing that at all, but there is a point where we have to do what we said we would do. Getting a final warning means exactly that, if we continue tolerating things like pictures of holocaust victims in a thread about 40K races in General 40K (since he couldn't post in the discussion board anymore), then the message is that he can do whatever he wants. And indefinitely sending out non-final warnings isn't an option either. There was no other choice.

Erriond: I don't know if organising would be necessary, all we really need is someone to provide the information from him.

   Anyway, I emailed Ryan stating my preference for the 11th as well - I've actually managed to book a Saturday off within 6 weeks of Christmass, but could only pick that one. As to actual attendance I'd really, really like to. It's ages since i've faced unknown people and I'm hoping for some really tough fights. The only downside is that i'm working the days either side so it's going to be tough driving the 300miles to the venue, battling and then driving back all in one day but I like a challenge!

I could maybe help a bit , but just bear in mind I seem to be unable to even organise myself to get there on the right day  :-[ .

So who can I send my club's details to ? Was busy doing it with Libertine , but we all know the rest of that tale .
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Shas'Oink on October 16, 2006, 07:39:30 AM
without libertine... all we need are a list of people to invite... other than those on this thread i know that there are some others who libertine had been sending the info to... just to keep them informed. we obviously dont have that list... but we can try and let people know if we see them with the union jack on their profile!?

the other thing that needs to be done is to check for a best date for all... and that seems to be the 18th... so thats pretty much done.

the final piece is to book a hall... now, he had the number for the last venue... but so does erriond... so if we are going there then its best if erriond sorts that bit out.

of course, if we use the other venue then its a matter of who puts down the deposit. (evil toast) which of course we will all end up paying for when the day of the event comes around.

evil toast, you may want to send the details to erriond... as i volunteer him! and because he will have the details of the previous venue he can pair them up and pick the best one.

then its just a matter of putting that info into a newsletter (which we can copy and paste libertines last ones) and sending out to the interested parties identified using stage one above!

and a roll call of all those who are interested would be good

so, from replies on this thread... (ive not noted mercurious as i know he is not able to make it on 18th, our provisional date it appears).

if there is anyone ive missed then let me know... im gonna get to work figuring out how the "buddy" thing works and adding these chaps / chapettes so that i can mail out the info.

Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: small_furry_spider on October 19, 2006, 06:56:17 PM
I am not sure how VDR could be included fairly. It is too easy to make things that can unbalance the game. I think it would be fair enough to have things like say a d-cannon on a waveserpent chassis, but I worry about the 20 heavy bolter landraider etc.

As for flyers, most of the really unbalanced ones are out as they are super heavies. I guess my concern is that they are very hard to shoot down without AA mounts, which virtually no-one will have. No-one I know has flyers, is this a real problem or are small flyers fairly balanced?

oh, yeah, the griffon inferno shells are not at all reasonable
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Shas'Oink on October 20, 2006, 06:27:34 AM
well flyers tend to be pretty expensive for what they carry... and so you would generally be better off spending the points elsewhere... what you pay for though, is the difficulty of killing them... though for some armies finding AA mounts isnt too difficult...

remember that the way we work things is, if you are not happy playing vs someone with flyers / forgeworld / non-codex stuff... then we can do our best to switch players so that everyone is going to have a game they can be sure to enjoy (as a note, we have not had to do this once yet!!!)

Post by: Shas'Oink on November 6, 2006, 05:22:40 AM
well it looks as though we are looking to the Tanelorn GCN as the venue.

terrain is not a problem... much of the terrain can either be brought along by myself from the local gw / other sources. what we need is a space, gaming boards to play on, a price, and of course, people to play!

Tanelorn is east london. will have to get exact address.

if things are looking tight for the 18th of november, then we can postpone it. at least, if we can sort out a venue that is willing to house us then we can organise dates around all of us.

the idea with it is probably looking at 1500pt armies (max). painted armies are not necessary, but obviously the effort is acknowledged! and you at least need to have built the stuff!!! undercoat them too if you can!

WYSIWIG as much as possible, no repping of models (unless you have a converted army of course, but no using model cars as biovores!)

will have to see how evil toast goes.

then we can have a final roll call..

the tanelorn address should be up on the GCN forums... or through the GW web.... will check it out when i have time... unless someone else can do it now and post it here... just to inform people. though confirmation of using this location is far from certain.

No. If you check the original post by Libertine, the points limit is and has always been 1500pts. Sorry.

Oh and if preferable I would rather have it postponed. Due to me going home this weekend, I'll be banking on the following weekend to catch up on work I've left till later etc.
Plus it seems that Chuckles and Jonik would like it another time too.

if its after the 15th of december i cant go and it is around christmas time so most people cant go !!

1500 i think is the best sized game

your only saying that cos you want to fit in a 600pt seer council naikee!!!!

trust me... even vostroyans at 1000pts can add a unit or two of xenos hunters with librarian... or grey knights...

of course, we can always go with 1250pts... so we go in between.. there was talk early on of trying this amount...

well, considering my inbox has been flooded by a stream of no can do's i think we will be best served to postpone the event.

in any case... ive heard no news on the status of the proposed venue. though i think i may be able to contact another member (/perhaps he's an ex member i dunno)... he may be able to help us out.

until then.. the hunt for a suitable venue continues... if anyone has anything to bring to the table then speak up!

Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Shas'Oink on December 12, 2006, 05:16:14 PM
unfortunately we were unable to secure a location.

in order to help things along with a next tournament we need to pool our resources.

if anyone knows of anying suitable gaming locations... such as local clubs, then we should begin asking around.

the place we need has to have gaming boards, so that we have something to play our games on. terrain can be supplied by us. i have access to quite a bit of terrain, and im sure we each have at least some terrain we can bring if need be.

erriond is still trying to get in ontact with the overlord of the hall where his old club is (the last location) but as of yet things arent looking up. the holiday season obviously cant be helping things. come the new year hopefully we can find a place and then organise a date.

so, until then, if anyone has any ideas then please bring them forward!
also, if anyone is actually london based, and wants to meet up for some games in the mean time (you know, just a friendly high) then im sure there are a few of us that live close together!

im often at the brent cross GW store... along with naikee... you will recognise us on account of our laughing maniacally. and our eldar armies.

OKAY chaps (and chapettes... well, you never know!?)

i recently received the followign passed on to me courtesy of Evil Toast. he has kindly started a thread regarding interest in the next tournament, but i feel that that interest may be better served here, where more people may be made aware of it through their "replies" list...

Hi there. Happy New Year!
 
We had the club AGM the Sunday just gone by.

I brought this up at the committee mtg PRE the AGM meeting and stated that I
was a little disappointed with the fact that we were not supporting the
hobby and club members trying to run events.

The outcome was that we don't want to be seen to not be supporting the above
but there are a number of responsibilities that you take on when you run an
event and what we would like to see is something in writing or email
covering various points of information allowing us then to make an informed
decision.

So here is from memory what we need.

1. When is the event?
2. How long will the event last?
3. Projected numbers to attend the event?
4. Will there be under 16 year olds attending the event?
5. If there are under 16 year olds attending the event, who as event
organiser has currently been CRB checked and we would like to see proof of
this.
6. What will happen should club property be damaged?
7. Will the event be billed as a Tanelorn event?
8. Will the event be covered by PLI? If so can we see the certificate of
insurance.

I think for the moment that covers it. We have a lot of experience running
events - I've been running tournaments for the last 10 years via the WPS
(www.players-society.com). Its not just a case of getting a venue, playing
surfaces and people. There are a certain number of responsibilities that
need to be met to safeguard the event organisers and the punters who attend
the event as well.

Hope you understand.

Regards

Conrad

in short, it looks as though tanelorn may be at least willing to "entertain" the idea of us using their venue, and more importantly boards.

of course, there are a number of issues that do stand in the way.

i want to bring this to the attention of all parties so that we can firstly guage interest and strike up "talks" regarding holding an event.

i have replied answering some of their queries, though im unsure if they really get what we are trying to achieve.... the response seemed to indicate that the feel this is a "tournament" in the traditional sense as opposed to a friendly gathering of gamers...  :-\

Hey all,

Well I just found this out this afternoon and I thought that you all might like to hear it. The reason that we can nolonger have the event at the club in Hendon is because our friend Ryan (Libertine) still owes the church hall £120 for the rent of the venue after our last event in July. The church will therefore no longer deal with our group even though I have offered to pay in advance for any future booking. While I find them unreasonable I can still understand why they are so angry and it upsets me that we have lost such a great venue due to the immorality of another.

I'm sorry I don't have more time to explain as I am very busy of late but if any of you have questions please feel free to PM me and I will do my best to get back to you.

Nick

Public Liability Insurance (PLI) is actually a lot easier than you think.

Any general insurance broker will do that for you. Down here in Bournemouth it would be Chubb insurance. I have the contact details if anyone needs them - but usually the building would already have its own PLI which covers any events in that building. When you hire the venue you usually get the cover

Glad to see some movement here. I can possibly help in terms of getting CRB checks for organisers if that is needed. Having said that that process can take about two months or so. If any of us are teachers, SW, or involved in other clubs they might already have been checked.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Shas'Oink on February 14, 2007, 06:40:47 AM
i have been CRB checked. no kiddy fiddling from me!!

i've spoken to erriond and he says that there is a venue available for us to use thanks to his friends in teh GCN. the problem is, that it is in Bracknel (IE: middle of nowhere). it would require people to drive there as public transport is apparently virtually non existant in that part of the world... though some "ferrying" between a train station would be a less desireable but possible option.

other than its location, it would be perfect for our needs. i guess the question is whether or not it would be accessible to a majority of people...

im not exactly sure of its location, but im sure erriond will be obliging...

Well, heres the good news, Bracknell is my local gaming club so I'd be able to help out trying to get things sorted with Danny (the guy in charge) and help arrange transport etc. The train station from Bracknell is not particulary far from the club, however would still need lifts for people if they had all their cases, however I'd have the car there so could help ferry. By car the journey takes about 5 minutes...

Bracknell is only 20 minute train joruney from Reading and an hour from waterloo itself. Waterloo is such a big station you can get a train straight from there to Brakcnell itself. With a little bit extra effort it will not be difficult to get to at all, as I'm sure Nick and I will be more then happy to pick people up from the station.

Travelling to Brakcnell via car is quite simple as well, Anyone from the east or west just needs to look for either the M4 which runs beside Brakcnell, or from the south the M3, which will take to you to Ascot which is its neighbouring town. The North will be a little bit harder but not by much. (I think Chuckles was the furthest North we had last time, if im not mistaken?)

Bill, there are a few hotels around as well if you would like :P

Also as Bracknell is virtually my home town (I live in Ascot next to it) if anyone got lost by driving up here, as long as they phoned me and described where they were I could probably work out where they are and guide them to the venue.

The venue is bigger then our last one and I can also help supply with terrain, as I know our club suffers from 'open battlefield' syndrome with the more talbes we put out.

Also, as it is my home town and local club, I know a lot of gamers around there and I could very easily fill numbers out of people to play if we feel the attendence could be low.  I often hold tournaments at my own home with my friends and the last one I had 14 players, just to give you an idea...

So, I am two thumbs up for this idea and am more then willing to try and help out as well.

Bracknell is less ideal than London for me (2hr drive), but it could be worse. Any venue is a good venue when that seems to be the main problem. I will probably be driving as I doubt the train will be much quicker.

I should be CRB checked soon too.

rant over

The place near ascot is probably possible for me to get to despite being 13 so im in favour for this place.

If there is limited terrain i can supply walls and hedges not much but it would add to the battle fields

Will give Dan a call about the venue when you lot have a date in mind.

I can do bracknell, but  not the first week of the easter school hols (31st march to 7th April) as I'm away.

I don't drive but if the club is only 5 minutes drive from thestation it can't be more than 30 minutes walk so I'm sure I could manage.

Bracknell's not a problem - I'm sure I worked there for a few weeks in the late 70's (that's 1970s not 1870s) I can round trip it quite easily - just need the post code for the satnav

LOL  :D

I think it seems like the best option. what days do you think we would be able to use the club? obviously the weekends are a better option for us, as we're all at work or are at school / uni (unles on hols of course). the question is i guess, would we need to have it on a saturday or a sunday, and, given the choice, which one would be more desireable for each of us?

if someone zaps me the postcode or map then i can send out pms to everyone on my list that was interested before, just to make sure that peopel are aware and we can start getting a good idea of possible numbers.

RG12 9LP, Harmans Water Community Centre, Harmans Water Shopping Sq, Ralphs Ride, Bracknell, Berkshire.

Saturday or Sunday is good for me. Need to check when I'm home for hols and then I can start making myself more useful as I'll have full contact with everyone in Bracknell, but I'm sure Nick is quite capable at the moment :D

As long as I know a date and have enough time to let some of my friends know, you can count me to be worth about 8 - 10 people.

An excellent location for all the car drivers, just off the M3 and M4/M329.

Hour and a half for me from Bournemouth.

If you need more terrain - I'll ask and see if I can borrow a boxful.

As it's only 90 minutes away I might also find a few more willing geriatrics who want to come

date wise easter holz should be fine.

i would prefer to play 1500 point games but 100 is ok too

well, while naikee plays 100 points,  i thikn the rest of us will play 1500. good luck naikee!

welcome onboard kinsman!

right, to answer your questions:

1. the actual date has as of yet not been decided. it will be a saturday or sunday, and we are probably looking around march, not mothers day though i guess! erriond is getting in touch with dan, from the club, and will be hopefully be able to provide more details when he hears back.

2. there is no age limit as such, we are not about that really. however, you should know your rules and be able to play unaided! last tournament there were a few gamers under 16.

3. leading on from above, if you feel a bit aprehensive coming along to the meet then bring someone along with you to look out for you... you will soon see that we are all mostly harmless... mostly  :P

4. in terms of scenery, if we may require more then it may be nice for people to bring along a few bits... though this can be decided a bit later.

5. first and foremost i think that i want to make sure that there is sufficient space for 40konline members. this "tournament" is simply a way of getting together with people we have chatted with and playing games / getting to know one another. if there is a limit on the number of participants (again, awaiting errionds feedback) then i would prefer those places to be taken by members first. however, there should be no real reason why non members also cannot take part, and each of our previous tournies have had non members, some of which later joined the site!

it will more likely be my eldar or tau...

undecided yet, though ive just got back from a horrible defeat by a blood angel player on my tau...

a 13 strong death company with jump packs (and chaplain of course), coupled with a 10 strong honour guard with their special "feel no pain" eq, plus some crazy 3d6 consolidation... ALL with power weapons. oh, and everything had furious charge of course. oh, and there was also a 6 strong termie unit.

in other words, the 6x4 table became really small really quickly.  :(

LOL! use your marines you panzy...

Anyway!

Bracknell gaming club are very happy to entertain us providing we give them dates and times for them to talk about first. I also extended the invite to their members as myself and Google5 are memebers anyway and we will be using their tables and terrain (of which there is a lot!) so it is only fair. rent will be between £100 and £150 and with any luck if we can get quite a few people together (bracknell members included) it won't be too pricy. As they are an established GCN club (you can even check them out on their website) they have all the insureance etc that we need, which is nice :)

So, we need to choose a date...

Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Erand on February 22, 2007, 08:08:47 AM
Dan said it will be between £100 and £150... I think this is because they do not own the venue and therefore simply do not know exactly how much we will be charged (they rent it every week for an evening where as we want it for a whole day and the price varies depending on the day and the start time etc etc.) Once we can give them a date they can come back to us with a set price.

7th of April

As I am on holiday for the first 2 weeks in April, I won't be able to make those latter 2 dates and I currently have something on on the 24th as well (this might be moveable- I should know this weekend).

Sorry about the typo Oink, won't let it happen again ;)

24th is good for me to.

errirond i can lend you about 7-8 bikes but only 1 shuri cannon.

what about points cost?

That would be perfect Naikee. Thanks loads mate, I only need one cannon :)

I think that the same rules as last time should stand, they worked well. 1500 points. forgeworld + legal current codex armies. Was there a debate about those griffon shells of fleeing doom?

yeah make sure you don't play against them.

I'm ok for any of the three dates.........dark eldar or might be my old dark angels, need to buy the new codex though.

Anyone need to borrow some templars (cough cough)

I'll let chris chime in here too, but up here in sunny wales, easter doesnt start until sat 31st march.... So I would only be able to make the 7th and 14th april. That is if I can get there, but here can't be the only place to end the term then can it!!? lol

Saying that too, I haven't played a game in a few months now... (sorry about that chris btw - I know you enjoy beating me :P)

Post by: Shas'Oink on February 23, 2007, 06:15:44 AM
maybe the 7th is looking better then... as its a date that overlaps for the majority of you student types...

when i get some time, im going to send a pm to everyone... maybe a bit later tonight... but no promises!

i think erriond has it right;
+1500pts;
+Forgeworld is allowed. but we will only use one FoC (so no superheavies!)
+I think that we can also allow current chapter approved units as long as you have models and a print of the rules (Tau Human Auxiliaries for instance) comments?
+standard Annihilation missions (as a simple way to work VP) at gamma level.

any comments?
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Erand on February 23, 2007, 07:22:24 AM
The 7th works well too, its a shame that we can't all make one day, sorry Small fury spider I think you might lose out mate.

Annihilation sounds about right. I don't mind unplainted models in the slightest but can we ask for all non codex models (for example forge world or chapter aproved) to be WYSIWYG please.

Only one standard force organistion chart... Maybe I should write up a rules file. What do you think Oink? If I did does anyone have the softwear to turn it into a PDF?

Oink do you want to PM people and ask if they are interested and if so in which of the dates.

down load PrimoPDF. It is completely free and just acts like a printer on your system. so when you print from word or publisher you send it to the primopdf printer and it will create a PDF for you.

7th sounds ok but i cant do the 14th because thats my birthday.

1500 pts is cool

are we allowed to take allies as i play a guard army with DH allies.

Hello all, I read this thread very drunk last night and figured I'd wait till morning to attempt a coherant reply.

Jonik, get your ass down more often, practice makes perfect after all :P

I need to check term dates for my uni but i think all of them are good (I'm in Manchester at the moment so will let people know by end of sunday)

1500 sounds good, might take a Farsight Enclave just to annoy Oink, but more likely to be Necrons or a recently turned Deathwing - Lysander Wing. Or new shiney Eldar, eugh too many options :P

I'm more then happy to disallow forgeworld :D :D :D Unless someone can convince me the rules they come up with aren't broken (I have more then enough of examples of why they are...)

I'm fine with that :) As long as your guard has no forgeworld griffons in it...

ps. erriond if a place in you car is going i may need it.

pps no there arent any griffons

Hi all, what do you think of these rules. Please let me know if I have missed anything you fell is important or if you feel that you do not agree with what I have written.

Just a quick comment on allies, I am not happy with this unless in an inquisitional army as it leads to multiple force organistion charts and a mixing of units that can be either unrealistic or unfair in gaming terms.

Rules of the tournament:
 
The Warhammer 40,000 Revised Edition rules will be used for this tournament, as will the latest Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documents from the Games Workshop website. In all cases the most recent edition of the Codex will be used.

o   Each player will require an army of 1500 points or less selected using the Standard Force Organisation Chart and fielded as a single detachment.

•   All models within your armies should conform to “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG). In other words, all equipment that can be appropriately shown should be clearly modelled on each miniature.

•   Equipment, vehicles and units detailed in Forge World’s Imperial Armour publications and chapter approved may be used. Units with Structure Points or Mass Points may not be. If a vehicle or unit is described in more than one Forge World publication or Chapter approved document, the most recent version must be used. You must have a copy of any rules you wish to use.

•   Special Characters may be taken as listed in the appropriate codex. Normal restrictions for that character apply e.g. if the army must be at least 2000 points to take the character you may not take him in this tournament is for armies of 1500 points or less. You DO NOT need to ask your opponent’s permission.

This is my current list of contacts for the tournament thanks mostly to Oink, if anyone is missing please let me know.

I'm fine with that :) As long as your guard has no forgeworld griffons in it...

I have a griffon.... I was going to use it.

Wasn't going to be with the inferno shells though, they were WAY too harsh. That is if I was to bring guard. Havent used them in a year or so now... :(

would i allowed to take say 2 troops from guard hq guard 2 heavies and 2 elites

then take from deamon hunters a assain and an iquisitor lord

after all it says you are allowed to in the codex
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Jonik on February 25, 2007, 06:44:52 AM
If its in the codex then its fine. Just make sure you've read it right (not illegal :))
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Shas'Oink on February 25, 2007, 09:10:28 AM
i think those rules are ok... though im no sure about those special characters... some of those are really off... and unbalanced, which is the reason why they arent in the codeces as standard choices in teh first place... of course, the new eldar and dark angels ones are standard choices, and thats because they have been apparently "tested" and more balanced. overall though, im not adverse to using special characters... (until i get outrageously sexy lycra-clad pixieed by a captain lysander army!)

as a note to Erriond:

those contacts can be used to send pms to all, but you have to make sure the name is written EXACTLY right (caps, underscores etc...) in your recipients in order for them to receive it. you can send pms to multiples by puting a comma between each... you should be warned which people did not receive the message.

on to the dates:

Quote
24th of March
31st of March
7th of April

i should remind people that these are not yet decided, and so we can use this time to decide... i was thinking that we ould start a poll in the polling booth to get peoples votes, and then go with the favourite... perhaps this is an idea, and we can sendto link to everyone in the "interest list" above. although you have to be wary of unscroupulous members from across the globe adding random votes!?

Sorry, guys, I can't make any of the dates (I could not move the thing on the 24th). Have fun without me. I seem to be cursed with these tournaments. I will make one of them, one of these days.
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Erand on February 25, 2007, 05:56:51 PM
For Inquisitional forces its fine but not for other armies that are not normally allowed to do so. In essence if you take an inquisitor you can do more or less what you please. But no one else!
Title: Re: The 4th 40konline UK tournament
Post by: Shas'Oink on February 26, 2007, 09:36:24 AM
whiloe erriond finishes smoking his spliff!?

Does your army need to be painted to go or is it just preferred?

your army does not have to be painted... but its always nicer to have a painted force.

a note is that we are not being strict in the terms of GW and their tournies. (which is why we are allowing things such as chapter app units)

that said, the current awards will be:



1st place (Gold)
2nd place (Silver)
3rd place (Bronze)

Best Army



you will be awarded a banner to display in your sig.

i am looking at perhaps some others... though i would have to create new banners for these too...

The community centre is part of a small array of shops. There is a fish and chip shop that i can walk to from the venues doors in oooh about 10 seconds, and also a newsagent which is about an extra 5 second walk...

Best Sportsmanship sounds nice, but i wouldn't worry about all the awards too much, just go play some games and have some fun :)

Painted armies are preffered where possible (and more likely to get pictures put up on the site) but are not mandetory. WYSIWYG is enforced a lot more however as Erriond as said already.

Nicely painted too I hope? :D

I need to work out what I'm doing with my 'Deathwing' at the moment as I have double the amount of special weapons they are allowed to field, and am considering turning all the sergeants to having thunder hammers... Or i could just buy some scouts and do a lysander wing or some alterantive :S
