About time someone picked up on the joke!
Also,

Accepted! (at least you won't be up against Menoth...)

Done! Hopefully I'll be running mercs by then

I challenge the world's greatest clarinestest... clarinetee...clarinetitet... clarinet guy... James Moorehouse

LOL. It is on. Prepare to see two beautiful armies painted by one man and compensated for by losing terribly.

You actually frightened the ###### out of me, as soon as I start practicing I get an post with clarinet 100 times in it

A little something to wet the appetite...

For the Main Event (50pt SR2011), a rare set of trophey coins will be awarded. These coins were custom made, and have only been awarded at a handful of events. Furthermore, this is the very last set.

Champion - Awarded to the overall winner of the day.
Heartseeker - Awarded to the player that claims the fastest caster/lock kill over the course of the event.
Destroyer - Awarded to the player that claims the most CPs over the course of the event.



More prizes will be announced as the event draws nearer.

Shiny!!!!!

A quick update before life forces me offline again. For the Main Event (50pt Steamroller), 1st - 3rd will receive official Privateer Press Steamroller certificates and trophies.



For 'There Can be Only Fun! (25pt Highlander), 1st - 3rd will receive CGS Cancon 2012 certificates and Dragon trophies. (sorry, no pic).

And yes, more prizes will be announced

will players be able to double up on prizes/coins? or will you share the love

A player may only win one coin, but may win both a trophy & a coin.

Actually still hopin/planning to get to this one!

I am filled with sadness, for I cannot take my minions to the highlander event. Because I cannot take duplicate warbeasts, it is literally impossible to make a list that meets the requirements.

Any chance we can get a special dispensation allowing two war hogs? Otherwise minions (edit: farrow specifically, I think gators can get by thanks to the ironback spitter) can't make a legal list worth more than 17 pts.

Let me think about it. This may just be one of those times where choosing to play such a shallow/minor force works against you.

In other (and possibly related news), models released after 31 Nov will not be allowed in either event. Note - Domination is due in Nov

You mean, like Pirates?

No sweat if not, it just seems like a great for-fun event and it seems a shame to be excluded because of choice of faction.

OK, had a think and asked advice...

I am going to allow the lessor warlocks and their associated beasts to be taken as per their normal rules. If taken, they only count as your solo (not as solo & beast).

This makes the rules for the event a bit messy(ier), but it adds some flexibility in areas that badly need it.

Hi there, is there any chance of altering the release restrictiOn to Jan (for the ret jacks) since it's more of a friendly con =D

Can you make an unreleased model (nicia) using PP models for conversion I'd rules are already released (wrath) but model isn't?

No, from the steamroller rules, unless the official model has been released you cannot use it even if you converted it up.

I checked this awhile ago to see if i could use the new Khador Demolisher if i converted one up.

Reasoning being along the lines of: if it's not instantly recognizable for your opponent it is confusing/timewasting/unfair in a fast paced environment. He might drop it for the first day at best but personally I'd just move on Dru

Why is this the case? I don't see the reasoning behind it...

I didn't pick up on this...

Since Domination is not going to be released until November, and most of the releases for that are staggered for the next 4 weeks afterwards, it means most of the Domination stuff won't be usable?

Why not just make it models released up until the event itself? Since they will just be models from books released months and months prior, it's hardly going to be a surprise for anyone.

In other news, Online registration is up, get on that!

I intend to register very soon, but one thing as a very new player- lists are 25pts Highlander and 50pts tournament? Just want to be clear so I know what other miniatures I have to paint beforehand.

Cheers,

Jamie

And I’m registered … can't wait!

Registered and paid up!

Paid! Possible to get a player list up?

Paid....now to get some games in so I dont look like a complete Muppet.

G'day all - just a quick one to let you know my family and I have finally made the great leap back to Australia, and I should have proper (read 'non phone-based') web access very soon.

Once that happens I'll be able to give this thread some love and attention. Hang tight

Great stuff Jason. Cant wait for this event, if we could have a players list that would be great to judge how the monday will go

Time to change that signature then, welcome back mate!

OK, I have added (and will maintain) a list of registered players in the 1st post of this thread.

Registered Players...
1. Jamie Downward
2. James Moorhouse
3. Jeff Galea
4. Adam Nott
5. Luke Nott
6. Stephen Burg

I tackle the backlog of questions shortly (over the weekend), and appreciate everyone's patience while we settle back into life in Australia.

Just to clarify for those wondering... the public holiday this year is on the Thursday before cancon hence why the FRIDAY is a fun day. The main event is the Steamroller over the Saturday Sunday so I'm looking forward to 3 days of fantastic gaming!

That is correct. 25Pts for the Friday event (see 1st post of this thread for that format's associated list restrictions), and 50pts for the Saturday (and likely Sunday as well) event.

Nope. As advised by others, the offical model has to have been released before any sort of proxey/converted version will even be considered for a Steamroller event.

The idea was simply to make sure that everybody has had plenty of time to practice both with their intended lists and against the models they may face across the table ('gotcha' does not equal 'skill'). However, in hindsight 31 Nov does seem overly early.

Lets go ahead and make it 31 Dec, and hope that Santa is kind
(1st post of this thread has been edited to reflect change)

OK, I think that is it. If I did miss your question (or you have a new one) please speak up

There will always be things that people haven't played against, I still don't see your logic, there is only one new release in December and that's the circle Battle Engine, and it's rules are in the new NQ. Any Jan new releases would have been in Wrath and Domination, thus giving people around two months to have read up on the models.

im looking forward to it Jygg - i think your planning for this has been superb and appreciate the hard work youve already put in

Oh well, Rocinante is listed for January I guess I'll just go pirate and other Mercs

That the spirit

AndrewH - If you think reading about something is the same as facing it, then I see your logic, but disagree. As my old MA teacher used to say...

'Kata/forms aren't the same as sparring, and sparring isn't the same as fighting'

And he was not a man to argue with

As of last night, we are up to a dozen registered players (link to rego form is in 1st post of this thread). Matt Cole is the most recent name to cross my desk. Makes me laugh. The last time I saw Matt (also the 1st time I met him) we were both in Chicago for Adepticon.

just to clarify, the 1st post has both events for $50, or one for $40 - but the cancon reg form has both days at $40.... does the first post need to be updated or do we need to pay another $10?

Interesting. I was originally told $40/$50, but if CGS is asking for $30/$40 now who am I to argue? Pay them what they ask for

they are just asking for $40 for both days, no day 1 option. suits me.

also to clarify witht he 25 oint games, additional points can only be spend on beasts, jacks, engines.... not solos or units? how about warcaster attachments?

They are offering either day on its own at the very bottom of the '1 day event' options for $30, but please just ignore that and sign up for 2 days



Points leftover after the initial - required - purchases may only be spent on beasts, jacks and engines. I have edited the 1st post to clarify the purchase of warcaster/lock attachments.

I set myself an initial terrain-target of 20 quality and coherently themed tables for Cancon. Today, I went out to the Garage to do a stock-take and see what I still need to acquire. Turns out the answer is 'Not much. Not much at all'.

Will CanCon results be recorded on Rankings HQ? I've just discovered that previous events I entered this year have been recorded there and I had no idea that would happen. I can only assume that my consent to collect and publish that information was not required (?).

Im not necessarily against recording and publishing results, but being transparent and letting people know before hand would be nice.

Results will be 'published' as they have always been, via forum postings after the event.

I also intend to submit the results to RHQ. However, any player that would like their details withheld need only ask.

OK peeps - we are about 3 months out. I highly suggest people....

1 - Pre-register
2 - Settle on the list(s) they will bring and spend the remaining time learning them inside and out.
3 - Get a timer and start limiting your turns.
4 - Play SR2011 scenarios whenever your opponent agrees.

And to the 14 people have pre-registered. Thanks guys

4 x 50 pointers in SR 2011, 12min turns and 6 of the only be fun games in (what scenarios will these be?)... my 25pt lists are done and dusted (and unbeaten) .. 50 pts is proving to be more of a challenge, one of our guys has already canned a list because of the time limits.... we now have a sweet spot model count worked out to build lists around.

In short us orange blokes (not to be mistaken for umpa lumpas) hope to not be filling the last 6 spots on the grid.

I have been impressed with the number of pre-registrations from Orange. Thanks guys

Scenarios will be announced prior to each round, and any SR2011 scenario is possible. While I will ensure that each day includes a good spread of the scenario types, I am also not eliminating any scenarios from the pool prior to the event.

Had a game last night and since we used some of the same terrain that will be at Cancon, I thought you might enjoy a few piccys...

Widowmakers take the high ground to cover Vlad and the main assault.
