Put me down for a spot.
I might even bring something other than cheesy Blood Angels.....then again I might not

Have to see how i go. Might have to get some custom stuff cast up for a truly cheesy list. Something to give those guard gun lines a run for their money.

"Custom Casts" result in really bad luck from the Dice gods, just ask Tom

Dont know about "no comp" but I will try to attend with a very soft SOB list ...... hopefully I can get there alll going well.
Will have a look at what Chaos I have - will try to cheese it but have no oblits .......

Mick rocked up with 3rd ed Necrons to the last one, its not all about cheese lists even with the comp moniker. Solid balanced lists are the way to go.

*does his best admiral akbar impersonation* ITS A TRAP!!

Where was the admiral this weekend.....

I needed his trap detection skills!

Were do we buy tickets from?

Actually, my Crons were at the first one, and weren't entirely balanced...still, there weren't too many really bad lists at either Force Z, despite the lack of comp.


Ummm - I suspect that date is wrong...or else, you're really being a tease.

In defense of my dice, they raged hard against Pat, but I think that was more of a case of everyone's dice raging on Pat, not just mine.

Note to self;

Do not post details for new events at night before getting some sleep.

Added a link for the single ticket sales. The four pack and season pass will be up later today.

If you are considering playing in four of more of these one day events next year think about one of the ticket packs. There is a great added bonus forf purchasing a pack that you will need to PM me about.

Any player's pack available yet?

Not yet, I need Wes to proof read it after my last effort

Lol, send it over mate. I'll have a read.

lol Yeah seemed that way. Oh well can't argue against dice....

Hi hi

Can i sign up please?

If its only 750 points i may be able to play my lamenters, but ill probably just stick to my daemons

Thanks
Nat

Bear in mind the no-comp environment!

I'll be signing up for a 4-pack this weekend. Love the Force Z and Spearheads.

The more the merrier Nat.

We are planning to use a simliar format to last years events with a few minor changes.

Bring two lists along, each list may not be used more than 3 times (so the other is used twice). You choose your list after looking at what lists your opponent has brought.

Self based painting scores (audited by judges). Complete the checklist and send it in when you submit your army lists, judges will confirm the results on the day and add a subjective bonus to exceptional armies.

2 lists? for the 1 army?

Hopefully will be able to make it. Have to check how many family bonus point i got.

Surely Xmas is worth some bonus points

The concept that is being kicked around is two lists from the one codex led by different HQ choices (very Warmachine). You know the mission and your opponent, check out the two lists they might use and see which of yours you wish to play with. Circle it on your score sheet and both players reveal the list they have chosen to use.

I have been kicking it around as a way of balancing without comp, however bringing two lists at that 1750 could be a bit of a challenge. Most people should be able to do it easily at 750 and if you need some models feel free to ask, I have a few armies sitting on the shelf that havent been out for a game in years

If it works, great. If not, well it lets you play five games with two different forces to stop the day getting boring

Just a change in HQ? Most army list aren't terribly affected by a change in hq choice. You would have to encourage list diversity in the interest of fair play by some means other wise you will end up with lists with the minimalist changes possible. My preference would be for 2 lists from differing codecs.

Sure you can do that, or you can bring two completely different lists to mess with your opponents head.

Im even thinking of bringing dark angels just so i can mess with people.

Lol - will it be Deathwing and Ravenwing, or Deathwing and vanilla, or something else entirely??

Just throwing a spanner in the works, but how do Tau take two different HQ's? They have to take a Shas'el/o.

IF it is possible two different army's all together.......and to make it even more random one list is heads and the other is tails and let the coin decide

i like the coin toss idea, talk about random, i like it. as for lists why not go with at least 2 different units, because at 750pts most armies will be completely different having to change two units, weather its from the same codex or not just makes it more fun

Get your PLAYERS PACK today.

We have ditched the two list idea, while fun it would push some games to go for longer and with just over an hour available it would have been unfair to some. Maybe its a Battlefields kinda thing

There is still some time left to get your early bird ticket price or maybe convince your other (better) half that a "Season Pass" would make a great christmas present.

Cool - love the idea of self-marked painting. Only one issue though - you say there are 20 bonus points available, but the ticklist only allows a total of 15?? Was an option missing, or the total wrong?

edit lol reread the question adam.

Thanks Michael, it wouldnt be one of my player packs if there wasnt at least on mistake. I will correct that and issue version B once things quieten down a little bit

and fixed.

Version B is the current correct version.
Max Battle Points are 85
Presentation Points are 15

I would like to put my name down for this please.

Nick Standing

Also my friend Michael Kill.

Christmas should equate to many many family bonus points.

You know you could ask your lovely wife to buy you a four pack or season pass for christmas. That way you would have a ready made "But honey I am just enjoying the lovely gift you bought me"

just deposited money now......will get a list sorted this weekend, probably Choas.....

updated the player list.

Only two days left for you to pick up a ticket at the early bird price, don't miss out on the first 2012 event for Brisbane.

player list updated again.

I look forward to seeing the no comp smack talk as everyone returns to WAU after their Christmas/New Years break.

Sorry, can't make this one, start of the year is really busy. Will hopefully make the other ones.

How did you not score any bonus family points over christmas?

family points not an issue. It is work and study til around mid April.
After that I can play with my toys again
Good luck all.

both overated reasons

Apparently Geoff and I are coming. He's paying. Im going to bring something retarded, so i don't need to think, just loose.

Was wondering when you guys where going to pop your names down.

Remember the bounty is now on Pat's head. The first player to beat him and his all powerful Necrons will pick up the reward. The reward for the first event is a copy of the Black Library novel "Sons of Dorn".

Anyone who has been the bounty is ineligible for the prize

Does it count that I beat him already?

Miss the chance for Straken to cover the board in necron gribblies? Never! Force Z is too much fun.

Nope, you need to have won the bounty (and been the bounty) to be ineligible for the prize. So both Rob and Pat can't win. Also you need to win, draws do not count

You haven't beaten me yet.... That i can think of....



Hope you like getting shot....

Are all your necrons painted now patty?
Last I saw you were just doing the big giant blob floating chair.

Nah, they were just black on Saturday, well one ghost arc was started... I can't really talk, my grey knights are still in undercoat.

Nah not all. I'm waiting for my bases to arrive to finish off the army.




And a command barge. But chaging the way i do them to make them slightly more cohesive and i can do them faster.(which is always a good thing)
