If anyone has any questions in regards to the players pack and needs clarification, just ask here or PM me.

I shall be there with space wolves

Bringing Liam Sexton and Josh Stacey from Cessnock

I'll be there with Dark Eldar, or possibly something different!

Just a quick question, are we allowed to use square based models. I would like to use my Daemons but they are based fantasy style. If I use them they will be fully painted, based, everything is what you see is what you get ect.

A few issues with doing that Smally, next time your in I will chat to you about getting around that.

If its an issue, I'll just got with Tau or Deathwing if they get their repaint done in time.

Well I'm out. Just arranged to go out in Sydney the night before for my 18th and I wont be back on the Coast will Sunday arvo. I'll see you guys when I get a chance to duck into the store, maybe tomorrow....

I might be there and i will see if any of my friends are interested.

Hi Guys

I have a few questions for this tournament

1. Are there still places available?

2. Is there the option of a direct deposit for those who can't get to the store or the club?

3. Am I correct in assuming that missions 1, 3 & 4 most objectives held wins?

4. for the Burn the All mission how will troops that are running away at the end of the game be treated? Mainly asking as units that are falling back are removed at the end of the game, so count as wiped out, would the just not count or would they be added to the kills of the unit that made them run away?

1. There sure is..

2. I'd have to be in store for the detail. Will post ASAP.

3. Yes

4. If you fail to kill the unit and it makes its escape off the table then you dont get to claim it.
I can see guardsmen/grots (same thing) now leering from the side of the table going "missed me, missed me, nah nah nahh"

Awesome, this will be handy for me, don't get a chance to come down to Gosford very often.

I could walk down, but it means awakward encounters with regular Gosford people....

Sigh, that Damien fella will just never let up.

I am considering attending, if i can get a new army painted on time.

Alternative Payment Details for Let Gosford Burn

http://online.goodgames.com.au/index.php?cPath=107

and make sure you put your names in the comments box!

Cheers
Damien

Well, I've just tried to pay through the good games site, but Paypal was having a spaz and refusing to load, so I'll try again in the morning.

Maybe there is a limit to how many best army comps you can win spakka, and now paypal is stopping you from getting anymore..

Starting to think so too - I had issues with comment box this time - something about invalid characters being used, although I'd only put down my name. If my name doesn't show up in the order, let me know (got the reciept from paypal here).

When do army lists need to be in by?

I have looked through the players pack but didn't see any date.

dame-o; how many spots are left?

The lolbots might be there.

Army Lists are due on the 23rd... Give me a week to check through and make sure people are running legal lists and all that Jazz...


Rep - There are a few spots left, many have said they are coming but most still have yet to pay and I go off a first paid first served basis..
So in short yes there is a spot for your lolbots yet..

Interested to come along. Hopefully I can get stuff painted in time.

Damien, a couple of questions about scoring.

1. Will there be secondary missions or bonus objective or will battle points be earned purely by achieving the primary mission?

2. Will battle points be scaled by the size of the win?

Thanks

Mark C

1 - no secondaries Mark, keep it simple is always a good way to be...

2 - Battle points will be scaled.

Sweet. Just have to check it doesn't conflict with anything AND I have money.

Given that, I'll be there!

For the "Burn all mission" it says to place one of the models next to your own unit as a marker.

But what if you destroy a tank / monstrous creature or something similarly big? There might not be enough space to put it next to your unit.

Also some people might not like others handling their miniatures - Im just saying.

Is it ok to just use some paper markers or a dice to keep track of the number of kills for each unit?

For the "Feed the troops" mission, can 1 unit control multiple objectives?

Apologies from Liam Sexton and Josh Stacey - both from Cessnock. They wont be coming. Sorry.

Dice have a tendency to get picked up and rolled I find. Paper or spare bases anything like that is fine. Its just to give your opposition a reminder of who has killed what.



Of course they can, the main rulebook FAQ says you can so thats cool bananas with me

Damien, if I come in to the store - can I pay then and there?

Of course Rep.

Paid today Damien. Will submit list soon.

Got a paid players list yet??

I do.... but its at the store.... so when I am there I shall post it up.

Do you have a preferred format for army lists to be sent in, or for that matter formats that you don't want?

readable

So excel, word, notepad etc is all good

I dont have army builder so none of those shenanigans..

Are grudge matches allowed for round 1?

If so Id like to challenge MarK C to a game, as weve never played against each other before.

Perhaps..
It would depend on if MarKC agrees/if I think the army lists are comparable and if I remember or not.

So a definite maybe?

I'll go chad again, I'm sure he is keen to carve up some Necrons - I hope he brings power weapons otherwise it'll be more 3+ saves and bolter (and bolter equivelant gauss) fire then I can handle.

Changed to space wolves. The list is very different

Yes please,

I am considering coming along with my/Nzarra's Mechanicus list but before I do I want to make sure I understand the scoring system properly...

"Any figures not painted by the player will not be considered by the TO when the army is marked."

Now, for my painting score (I certainly do expect to be ineligible for best painted and maybe player's choice) Does this mean you'll be judging the army for my painting score just on the 4 or 5 models I have added to bring the list up to 1500? And completely ignoring the awesome conversions and paint job across the rest of the army because it's not my work?

I'm just interested in how that would impact my overall score. Assuming I choose to bring the Mechanicus, which I would like to as I'll be playing it at Terracon a fortnight later.

Thanks.

Alex

Paint scores will be like this...

1/3 - players choice ~ the more votes players give you the higher you will get here.

1/3 - TO's Choice ~ On how technically painted it is, one mini painted to awesome standards will suffice here if you were the person painting it.
Its more of a guage of what you can do.
Im very guilty myself of rushing things the week before an event after spending 3 weeks painting 5 figures.

1/3 - Checklist which includes the 3 colour minimum.

So am I still able to present it for Player's choice?

Yes.

Great, If I can make it I'll bring the mechanicus. I'll try to inveigle a road tripper or two as well...
