Since Leviathon will be on the 14-15th, I have no choice but to change the date of the upcoming Club Challenge to the 22nd. This date is not 100% confirmed, but the likeliness that it will be on this day is "pretty good".

The basics are as follows.

- 2500 Pts
- Special characters are allowed.
- Book of Hoeth and Folding Fortress are no longer banned. But expect a bit of a hit if you bring the BoH.

Cheers.

The Folding Fortress is broken.

But Kahlida and 100 Skeleton archers agree with the choice.

100?

How many floors is the folding fortress? Can they all shoot?


About the April challenge, I am 95% not going to be able to make it for this month.

Its not about how many can shoot its all about points denial. Which is why the Folding Fortress is broken. At least with GW's default building rules.

I like the idea of these very wide units, I'm sure Khazraks whip will absolutely love killing all models in the front rank, bring them on.

If a rock falls on the building doesn't anything in the building take a S10 hit?

GW in their wisdom never specified.

So your 20 story Fortress can show up allowing all 100 archers to fire smile.gif

I'm tempted to add "Roll a D3 at the start of your game to see how many stories your Folding Fortress has."

"At the start of every turn the player with the folding fortess must roll a d6. If the number rolled is less than the turn number the folding fortess 'folds'. Any unit in the fortress when it folds is destroyed and the folding fortess is removed from the table."

I would try to make it a little different, sort of like; "At the start of every turn the player with the folding fortess must roll a d6. If the roll is a 1-5 that determines how many floors there are. If the roll is a 6, all models in the unit may shoot out but the doors close. At the end of the turn the building collapses and the unit trapped inside is destroyed. Characters trapped inside are also killed."

For a hundred points, that's a bit harsh. No point taking it now. Not that I was going to take it myself...

Would April 1 be too soon for everyone to come down for the next round? If it's too soon, please let me know ASAP.

Cheers.

I could do it, wouldn't mind too much as i'm working on Sat so I wouldn't be playing anything that weekend anyway.

Would need a confirmation on points though.
