Why? No superheavies, no gargantuan creatures, no flyers... most fw units are over-costed and underpowered, for good reason (fw has often said they make the rules for FW models pretty lackluster, so ppl can't spend money to win).

I am looking forward to the tournie Ben, I always have fun, and you guys always put on a good show!

@ Holy Cause: Please, do explain why? I impose limits on what you can bring. You're not going to be seeing a heirodule or titan or anything.

@ BenSutherland: Yup, there is all sorts of extras. Sportsmanship, army composition, bonus battle points, etc. If you've never been to a big tournament before, you should come to ours! I know I might be tooting my own horn here, but I like to think I run a solid event My tournies are not super-serious events, you want to come with fun in mind. Talk to Robyn, Pascal, or some of the other vets around there, they can fill you in

I'm fairly convinced that the IA rules are... garbage, as in, not worth taking. Considering the prices FW charges, it's clear they just want to sell models. more so than GW. lol

the fact that GW won't let IA rules in any of their tournaments (AFAIK) is pretty off-putting.

But like I said, I won't have an army ready for this tournament so I wouldn't be playing this year anyway.. so it doesn't matter much. Maybe next year.


If I could somehow make it up to PA I would love to see how this show plays out, though.

HC= So you aren't interested because of the lackluster rules? Huh?

Ben= Small question. i have the FW Slaaneshi greater Daemon, and was thinking of bringing her. She is pretty huge, and is on a valkyrie and trygon base. I won't be running her as the FW zarak'nyel, but as a standard Keeper of Secrets. That cool?

It's VERY cool.

Sweeeeeeeet

i wont be doing this but to make sure someone does not go through this loop hole, you did not state no titans so can you bring titans?

Are there such things as non-super heavy Titans? cuz he did state no super heavies. Also, count me in

I'd be more concerned on things like dreadnought drop-pods.

Whats that? 20 points more for a drop pot that my dreadnought can move two inches away from, shoot, and then assault six? I'll take six please.

Forgeworld rules on the whole are pretty meh. Most of the units likewise fill in gaps that in a lot of places I don't really see, but I can see why people'd use it. What bugs me about FW is the 1/100 units that they just don't think through properly.

oh ya forget to say i am in. And is it possible to just download a pdf of all the forge world model rules?

Quick Question, is there anyone from Saskatoon that I could carpool with to Prince Albert?

Sadly, I have to work on that weekend. So I will not be attending. I will say '*%%$^', though. I was looking forward to having my rear handed to me by a whole new set of people. Someone should take some pics of nice armies/models/battles, etc.

To sign up call J&P Hobby as the notice says peeps. Otherwise you may not get a spot. Ben has better things to do than call for you.

Forgeworld is for Hobbyists, modelers and painters, not for competitive gaming. Much like most other high quality resin companies, they produce models that are nice to look at. The rules are just extra, if you want to show em off as a centerpiece for your army.

I think some people would be happy to have the IA rules included, demon hunters get rhino's in IA, ya they're 50 points but 50 points for a rhino is better then "Haha grey knights go eat dicks!" I think the forgeworld rules are fine, hope to see some sweet models at the tournament.

I am going to be going this time. Of I call ahead to sign up do I need to pay over the Phone or can I just pay when I get there?

I've allways just brought the money day of, in the past tournies.

you kids better study up on your fluff, I'm running for 3 years lord of fluff!

Yes, eating dicks is bad.
