40K/Warmachine Food bank challenge ticket discussion

I was thinking that 5 tickets to reroll all dice might be a little steep. I think that for 5 tickets you should only have to reroll the misses. I know this could be huge for a squad of berzerkers on the charge, or a 20 man unit of boyz, but the other way it seems like a waste. You could always make this measure a 3 ticket choice and use the rules you put up.
Everybody should go into their games tonight thinking "what kind of special rule would make this game easier for me to win"

How many tickets to play with an illegal list?? (seriously)

System Commander wrote:Hmmm, Illlegal list eh? What were you thinking in terms of illegal? Like, a daemon prince commanding an Imperial guard army or were thinking something like 4 Vanquishers, nothing else?

Well could do a few ways:
1) no force organization (a few tanks and a...errr....titan
2) so many tickets = X number of extra points.

Remember though: Tanks and titans can't take objectives

System Commander wrote:Youve definitely almost got me convinced.

I know the warmachine guys got a rule where you pay an extra 5 items and you can take an epic caster. Might be pretty comparable to a titan.

What do the rest of you guys think?

Well wether or not the army can win or not is irrelivant. All tanks and a titan would be a good filler army for the odd player who gets a win anyway. It boils down to A) wether people are up to the challenge of killing larger stuff like the titan (would they enjoy the game or dred entering the tourney
and B) wether they want to take crazier stuff aswell.

P.S. Another thought about taking "illegal" lists is to mix two different armies i.e. eldar and marines. (Which of course would only be for fun since anyone in their right mind wouldn't want to water down their eldar army...)

Personally i would not have fun playing against a titan in a 750 point game. Its never really fun when you know you have lost a game before it has even started. As to the point that titans are not scoring, it dosent really matter if they score when you wipe the other army out to a man, or force them into hiding so they cant score either, you will win by default kill points.

I reccomend you allow Stash to do this! I think it should cost him about 10$ to do this!

Then I think you should allow for a rule that "Anybody, participating or not, May pay 10$ to remove any Titan models from the event."

I am happy to contribute said funds to help make the 40 food bank challenge a success! I'm here to HELP.

-----POOF!-----

It would be worth 3 kill points. So thats 250 points per kill point which is in the realm of reality. Not to mention that once you have 1 the rest are easier.

I've had some mixed messages about it, so in lew of scaring away out of towners, you'll have to keep the big guy at home this time around. I know a few armies that are coming and the Titan has the ability to take out a few of them in a round of shooting, even with a bunch of tickets.

Now, if we were alllowing voxtex grenades as well..

Damn, mainly I dont know what army I wanted to play! Writing up that list was sooo easy!

Ooops! I thought for sure when I checked the date when it was first posted it was for Sunday....
