Details and sign-up thread


Saturday June 7
doors open 9am
3 rounds, 2500pts
scenarios are straight battleline scenarios from the book
prizes awarded for overall champion, Best General, Painting, and lots of door prizes

Tournament scoring
75 possible points......battle points 45, soft scores 30 (painting and army design)

battle points scoring......crushing victory  15-6, victory 11-7, tie 9-9

Soft scores
Painting is scored by a checklist that I will use to rate each army. The hope is to have it designed in a way to enable the novice painter to still score relatively high along as he has placed some basic effort into the army he brings. Additionally, as well as scoring high on the checklist, the skilled painter will have the chance to win the coveted best painter award.

army design is scored by another checklist. Players are of course free to bring whatever they want in their army.

Hopefully the following checklists are self explanatory:

Painting......
Each category worth 2 points, 1 bonus point awarded to the best painted army.

1. The army is based and at least sprayed with a base coat
2.  Movement Trays built and painted or sprayed for the army
3. All unit command models are discernible and assembled appropriately. *****This will be strictly enforced*****
4. display board built for the army
5. entire army is  painted
6. Extra work has gone into highlighting, washes, blending on the entire army
7. The army features a number of conversions

Army design.......
Each category worth 2 points, 1 bonus point for the highest scored army
1. Did the player spend no more than 250pts on magic items
2. has the player spent no more than 900 points on characters
3. do non flying characters out-number those that do ( this includes characters on flying mounts)
4. Has the player refrained from taking double monster  or unique choices.
5. are there 6 or less magic levels in the army (this includes unit magic levels)
6. are there at least 3 ranked units in the army
7. do combat units outnumber missle units



Now to Masters scoring.........

Highest masters score after 4 tournaments receives a store credit of 160 dollars and a kick ass trophy. Also, a plaque of each years masters winner will be placed in the Den.

tournament game win 1pt
each tournament game played 1pt

You have time - it's basically just a courtesy to let others know so that we don't have 6 Empire armies or whatever...

Victoria, we actually get back that day but not until the afternoon.

Justin is in with a war host from the Underempire (skaven).

I'm coming up Friday to have my game with Brent before the Saturday event. I'm trying to have that finished as early as possible, so if anyone wants a Friday night game, I'll be sitting around bored.

Also, after the Saturday Masters event, the UFC is on. If someone could kindly suggest a good pub to watch that at, it would be appreciated. If anyone wants to keep me company, I'll even buy you a beer! ....for the price of a good place to watch it.

I work until 7 so i could meet you for a game Don... maybe even the finals. Good luck

My wife is busy sat night too so i may meet up after work. I do know a few good places but wont be in until 730ish

That all sounds pretty much perfect.

I'm coming up with Don on Friday; so if anyone wants to have a game that evening with me as well then that will save Don and whoever else from having a peanut gallery .

What time are you playing?

I am told we will be at the den around 4:30.

Hi guys,

I have to cancel this weekends masters event. It is really tough for me to do this, however I have no other option. The rain and snowfall that continues to come down since last Friday has put me into a situation where I am just trying to keep this years calf crop alive. The flooding here is pretty intense. I was hoping that the weather would clear up but the new forecast holds much of the same until the middle of next week.

Sorry everyone

Carson

Well, the silver lining in all of this is that now I might be able to attend whenever it gets rescheduled for! I'm sure everyone is relieved to hear that. Hope things get better for you Carson.

Woohoo, gamesday weekend at Carsons!!

Sorry to hear that Carson, if you need a hand I'll send Sean and Justin up!

Sad to hear it Carson. Are any mj boys making the trip?

I was going to go up on saturday. But as im being conflicted with moving and some work stuff. This works for me as well. And allows me to get my army readyier...er. Sorry to hear that Carson hope everything smooths out for you sir!
