Looks good! Now back to my Orks, form of a 3 color standard!

Edit: mysterious obj? Roll for warlord traits/psyker powers at start of each game?

Looks good.. Ive registered and paid up as well.

We'll be using the BRB rules for warlords and psyker powers. The missions will be from the book, so come prepared for those (2 will be objective based and one "KP" based). We will NOT be using "mysterious terrain".

I forgot to mention, I'll have the painting checklist I will be using posted up tonight.

Man.. That warlord table hates me. Its probably more that ive been using a daemon or bloodthirster for my warlord.. But i havent rolled a single beneficial item on that chart. I always get a gives the unit he joins a benefit. But.. Well.. It doesnt help.

If he ever gets the one turning him scoring or givimg vp for winning challenges.. Ill be a happy camper. I just wish so many of them werent so damn useless.

I was considering one D6 roll and choose the result from one of the 3 charts.

that's prolly a better way to do it. otherwise like robyn said, you get screwed alot on the results.

maybe make this a league-house rule in the future? either that or allow people to choose the trait they want and use it as a sort of 6th ed "chapter tactics" system for all the races.

I agree with you there.... Not once have i gotten a decent roll on this table lol.

I dont mind if people want to use a variant roll. Theres a bunch of different ways like Ryans suggestion.. Or ive also seen a guideline where you pick 2 categories to start then roll a d6 and choose between thw two. Or you can simpky roll one on two different categories and choose.

If you get to choose it might be a bit op.. the getting a vp when you kill a chatacter is pretty crazy. .. Or getting an auto +1 to reserve rolls is great.. Thatd save me 70 points for having to buy an aegis and comms eelay..

Any option will be better than a straight roll though. In my oh.. 7 games of.6th the only useful one i rolled was +1 to my reserves.. I had 4 deep striking units. My opponent got the -1 to my reserves as his trait so then it didnt matter..

I like the version where you roll once but can pick that roll between the 3 charts. aka roll a 3 and can choose option 3 from any table. it lets everyone get a chance at one that's useful.
its a rule that can sway a battle pretty easy...

We'll go with one roll and choose from the 3 tables. I'll have it written on all the Scenarios.

Voth and I have been doing that, works pretty well. Adds about 5min to game time as both players contemplate the results.

Do you want lists submitted ahead of time Ryan?

Contrary to all history I'm actually fully painted a week before the event.

People can pm them to me. It would make my life easier, but it is not necessary. As long as you bring a copy for me on Sunday.

Im pumped about the day.. Woo hoo.

Still scrambling to get painting done.. But im really close.

My only issue regarding.tooncon.. I wish it.was two weeks later so i could bring some berserkers..

Last chance to play with the old Codex in all its glory.

dam getting close i jest bought a land raider crusader for the event and im putting all my best painting knowlage into it

Im happy letting it go.. ive played it enough .. Time for fresh meat!

I will miss the cheap daemon princes though.. Not missing anything else at all.. Especially lords, possessed and bikes/termies that were not fearless.

My first game will be all berserkers.. With either khorne raptors, bikes or possessed. Exciting days! I just wish a scan would leak or something, the waiting is killing me.

So many pages on the net. some industrious soul will have a compilation done just in time.... for the book to already be out

See everyone tomorrow! Remember, 9am ACT Hall.

Who won?

A little patience friend?
