Possible February Highlander Event

I'm sure the IA and forgeworld stuff marked with the 40000 stamp are going to be more "official" the closer we get to 6th. And, given that its a new revenue stream for GW, i would lay money that the 6th rulebook has a section saying just that.

I'm happy to go either way though for now.

beau just what are you saying lol, i only have 4 common now, jk, but i agree about let ppl take 1-3 troop choices.

I think we'll just go pretty standard with the scenarios because we should should see some interesting lists. Expect 2 objective-y ones and 1 killy one.

@Mike You are correct, each landraider variant has its own entry so someone could take one of each. Landspeeders only have one codex entry (not counting the storm) so only one unit of those. I do like your idea for an annihilation tournament. But I think that would be a good idea for a stand alone event. It would be interesting to see people build armies if they knew kill points would be the only decider. I suspect Grey Knights would walk away with it, but I always suspect that!

So just to be clear. I'm going to allow 2 of each troop entry UNLESS the army only has access to one troop entry in which case I will allow 3. As mentioned in an earlier post, units that are not in the troops section but can be fielded as troops are still restricted to 1. Now let's start talking dates. Is the 4th good for people, or do we want it a little later in the month? I'll have to check with the Den to get confirmation of this date too.

Dates that don't work for me, Feb 2-5th and Fam Day weekend.

With advanced notice, anything is okay for me.

How are we counting transports?

For example, Can I have multiple rhino's?

Dedicated transports do not occupy force organization slots and are unaffected by the restrictions.

We'll go a little later in the month then. How's the 12th for people? Tell your women you want a day to yourselves for Valentine's Day.

Can do.

I was about to ask that about dedicated transports. I guerss Orks could still do a battlewagon rush. One squad of meganobz in a wagon, one squad of nobs in another, and 2 squads of boyz with trukks.

Sure Scott. Orks could take 3 battlewagons, 2 as dedicated transports and 1 as a heavy support choice.

I've been Green-lighted by the wife-person for February 12th. That's a Sunday, according to my Stephan Harper calendar! *laughs*

HUSBAND: I want to have a 40K day for Valentine's Day.
WIFE: You want something other than me for Valentine's Day, ok, I'll make sure you get exactly that.

wah-wah-waaaaaaaaaah

So true man lol. Prices are good in Feb so I'm pretty much out. Probably doing ship outs on Saturdays. But we'll see, I think if there are premiums at Cargill and XL I'll hold off tell March. Probably will be fielding Space Marines or Grey Knights.

12 looks good.

Wtf is with this family day thing? every day is family day, i cant escape them!

Not to step on yoUr feET, TiM, BUT I asked Darren IF THE 12TH IS FRee and he said it is. I didn'T ask him to book it, as that's your thing.

OK, thanks Scott. I'll ask him tomorrow. Did you get your daughter to type your post?

my computer IS fooked. i type something and it comes up on the screen 30 seconds or mOre later. Caps are screwed.

Tim, as I craft a list, I have a question.

If I take Anrakyr on a Catacomb Command Barge, would I be able to take a Surfboard Lord on a Command Barge as well?

Is the "Multiple Dedicated Transports" option valid for Necron HQ?

Does Anrakyr count as an Overlord?

Am I breaking the spirit of this by having two surfboard lords, one being a named character?

Anrakyr is a seperate Codex entry from a Necron Lord so no issue there. You're good to go!

The beauty of curling is that it conveniently slides out of the way when something collides with it

I think troops should be limited to 1 until you take one of every troop choice in your book. Im thinking of some books which has a grand total of 2 troop choices and also at my Imperial Guard which has many options for troops so the limitation would force the selection of other troops choices and some more creative infantry platoons.

Its been a long time but I dont think my competitive tourney list changes much at all for highlander cause
valkyries and vendettas are two separate choices, and veterans which I put into them are troops so I can take 2
all heavy supports can join up multiples into platoons of 3
everything else in the codex is so good you already try to take 1 of everything!

Another thought would be to limit multiples of standard transports, but some more though on this idea should be made by someone more familiar with the assault armies of today


I would love to take my ogryns or rough riders in this event but they arent finished and they are packed away...
