League Playoffs - 2013 edition

Okey doke, the league is over and the playoffs are ready to begin! Here's are the first round match-ups:

Pool Skadoosh!

Gavin (1805) vs. Robyn (1775)
TOm -planes (1760) vs. Beau (1730)

Pool Kachow!

Mark (1790) vs. Dan (1715)
Tom -aegwymourn (1700) vs. Adam (1745)

As usual, you make one list and keep it throughout the playoffs. I'll be posting the missions tonight or tomorrow, but they will be similar in structure to what we had used in playoffs past. One mission will be objectives, one will be kill points, one will probably table quarters or a base/relic combination. I think we might just keep the standard three bonus points for the plaoyffs game, but no mysterious objectives.

I'll have full details later tonight. Any questions, let me know.

As well, we need to know what armies everyone is using. I'll be using chaos!!

Dork Angles. Tom let me know when you might be free. M-W-F late are easiest for me, especially if you don't mind playing at my place.

Query - Forgeworld Y/N?

Well atleast beau has come to terms with his armies true nature

If I had the skill to add taped horn rims and pocket protectors I would.

I'll be running Knights backed by Crons. As there is no points bonus for paintedness during the play offs, the Dreadknight will be hitting the table.

My days off this week are Sunday and Friday, and I plan on being in on Sunday anyway to pester Mark for bits. I don't think the kid understands the concept of trading, anytime he has something that I'm looking for, he just shoves it in my hands (often with a frame of other awesome goodness attached) and says "there you go". Maybe the missus is just happy whenever plastic goes out the door and doesn't come back in.

If Sunday is too sudden, Friday can work in a pinch.

Sunday I'm working OT so boo-urns. Friday should be good tho.

Would you be available this weekend Adam?

I'm still juggling between Dark Angels, Chaos, and Necrons. In that order. As much as I love playing my Orks, I'm presently more excited about the other three (Silly Imotekh list with 20 flayed ones! *roar*)

I'll post *for sure* pretty soon, and an army list.

I think I can say with some certainty that he is referring to his Tau Tetra's of laser pointer doom.

Saturday all day I am free.

Would you be down for noon?

If you guys are playing today i better get scenarios ready !

Ill post the detaild later.. But the mission will change slightly every round. There could be a chance in later missions that fast or heavy is scoring.. And there will be a kill point mission.

Mission 1 is objectives, worth 3 points each if you control one. One in the middle of each quarter then one in the middle. First blood, slay the warlord and linebreaker are in effect. If points are tied at the end if the game, kill points arenused for tiebreaker. If thats tied, whoever finished higher in the standings wins. Deployment israndomly determined.

Post questions below. Ill compile it for the first page when im not on the phone but wanted.to get it up in case guys played today.

Tetras are fine with me!

Hey anyone have a problem with a stormeagle wolf contemptor dread or a lucius droppod

Robyn, I think you should ONLY post from your phone from now on. It's simply too hilarious.

.... and Dan says the magic words. "Lucius-pattern" I can feel the hate growing in you.....

No prob with any of that for me, Dan or Tom.

Lmao but y beau and these are all maybes but I just want to make sure everyone is cool since we can't change our lists

In the way back, when the Lucius was like 50 points, a DT and allowed full assault out of it, was considered cheesier than the 9 cheese pasta at BP.

Its what 75, a FA choice and a difficult terrain check for assault? So a 6" normal disembark +3d6 take the lowest for assault??? And can it assault on the turn it deep strikes, or does it override that?

65 points but everything you said applies

Cleaning up phone post/confirming post intent:

Round 1:
Primary Objectives: 5 objectives, each worth 3. One objective is place in the center of each table quarter (12" from long side, 18" from short side) and one is placed in the center of the board.
Secondary Objectives: First Blood, Line Breaker, Slay the Warlord.

First Tie Breaker: Kill Points.

Second Tie Breaker: League Standing.

Deployment: Roll on chart in BRB.

Well I could scratch build a Manta but since it rounds off at 2k points might be a bit much. I just need to confirm I can bring my super laser-pointers of marking on my Tetras.

@ Adam I might be able to make it in today but since I just woke up it won't be for a while. Let me talk it over with the misses.

I will be playing Tau since I can bring my markerlights =)

I'm playing Chaos
