April 2012 1500 POINT TEAM TOURNAMENT

Hey everybody!
Signup sheet will be @ the den Friday night, hopefully w/ some posters as well. Feel free to use this thread to set up teams, etc.
If anyone wants to order out for pizza again (it worked pretty well last time) I'll collect $5 cash day of.
If anyone will not be playing and would like to volunteer to help setup/run the tournament, pls let me know. In particular, I could use some paint judges.
Please PM me or email me at suttobs@yahoo.com if you have any questions or want to submit your army lists.

(FYI: I'm plnning on running an event roughly every quarter, ideally a different setup each time.)

April 2012 1500 POINT TEAM TOURNAMENT

OVERVIEW
• Over the course of the day your team will play a total of 6 games, over three rounds. Each round you will pair up with a different teammate to take on another teams pairing. You may not play with the same teammate twice. You are free to decide which pairings play together in a given round, but keep in mind that pair cannot play together again.
• Ex. Andy, Bob, Chuck and Dave form a team. In the first round Andy and Chuck form one team and Bob and Dave play another. In round two they see they are playing against a tough opponent in one game and have Dave and Chuck (their best two players) play that game, while Andy and Bob play the other. In the last round Andy and Dave must pair up and Bob and Chuck must as well.
• There are no rules for allies and such, so anything goes. Grey Knight can align with Daemons, Tyranids and Necrons, for example. That said; it would look better if there was a common theme thru the teams (identical basing, common accent color, etc.) Each players force is considered a separate detachment and fully separate from their teammates army. As such they may not ride in teammates transports, have Team A’s IC join a Team B squad, or have any of the armies special rules apply to them, such as gaining FNP from being in range of your teammates Sanguinary Priest.
• For purposes of declaring attacks, assaults, etc. a TEAM as a whole should declare assaults, shooting attacks, and the like, as if they were a single player. (For example, both players must declare all assaults before actually resolving any; IG players must issue orders before their teammate shoots, etc.)

MODELS/PAINTING
• All models should be WYSIWYG, and be painted to tournament standard (3 colour minimum and (at minimum) a painted base.
• “Counts-as” armies are fine, as long as units are readily identifiable as the unit they are intended to represent.
• Each team should also bring five (5) objective markers

RULES
• The tournament will begin on Saturday, April 14th at 10:00 AM at Dragon’s Den.
• Teams will consist of 4 players, each with a separate army. Teams should submit their team name, members and an army list for each army at least two week before the tournament. $40/team.

o 0-1 Elite
o 0-1 Fast Attack
o 0-1 Heavy Support
o Any choices that don’t take up a place in the Force Organization chart are to be used as per their rules in their respective codices, and are not affected by the restrictions stated above for other types of choice (Space Marine Command Squads, CSM Chaos Spawn and Summoned Daemons etc.)
• Forge World/Imperial Armour units and rules may be used (so you can play a Renegades and Heretics army, or use a Repressor in your SoB, for example), provided an appropriate models is used (i.e. either an actual FW model, or a suitable conversion).
• All GW FAQ’s apply.
• Special/Unique/Named characters may be used, provided their rules allow them to be used in armies of 1500 points or less.

Perils won't be able to make it from Regina.

Im in ill bring my guard and id think ill play a list simaler to wut those regina IG players useds at the last team toury. So any one want me on ther team.

Looks like I have some bases to paint. Good thing I did that to my one Cryptek anyway to help distinguish the two.

I'll be looking for a spot on a team if there are openings, just like Dom!

Question: What day in April will this be?

@ System Commander: If I can play, I'll roll with you!

"The Kid" is not sure hewants to play, but I'm totally there! Well, depending on the day.

Robyn- Ben- let us form team paint/conversion kings!

All: April 14th is a Saturday.

Throw me on whatever team pascal is on, cause that's how we roll.

April 14? Welp, I'm out, sorry bros! It's finals season then.

Pity, I would so be down with teaming up with Pascal and Robyn.

Hay Rhaevyn we can start our own team we jest need two more guys.

I'm definitely in on this one. April 14th shouldn't be a problem. I just need a team to shove myself in to. Too bad benny can't come...

Also, so far that I understand from the rules, I can use any forgeworld/apocalypse rules I can find? So a mek stompa and a fighta will work with a small green tide? That's what I understand with how they're typed up.

FW units mean they must be able to fit into a slot. The FW entry will say something along the lines of "A Prometheus Land Raider is an Elite choice for a Space Marine army." This cuts out anything with structure points and (I believe) any true flyers. I'll have to double check w/ the Ork Fighta/Bomba, I know Stompas are out, but I believe the Mega Dred is in.

so Rhaevyn you up for makeing a team

The 14th is "she who must be obeyed"'s birthday. so ill probably be following her through a calgary mall while you are playing.

Appologies Dom.

i was gona make a coment about wut samires did after a failed misson in fudal japan, but i caoudent think of away to make it funny.

or coherent.


I know it has probably been said Dom, but the words with the red squigglys underneath them are spelled incorrectly. so if you just click on them and choose the top choice, it'll more than likely be correct. or at least funny trying to decipher the words that dont fit.

I am looking for a team to adopt either my Orks or Nids (I am flexible).

I want to play but I won't be broken-hearted if I can not.

pick me!! pick me!!

Hows about a few ork players gang together as a team? I mostly play orks and can put together a good list with many models available.
