2 Drop pods makes me a sad panda LOL

Amen Brother, Amen.

[robpro]

So whoever brings the most plague marines wins?

Can I go if I run 750 points of Immortals?

[Chase]

You may want to change AP 3 large blasts to AP 3 or less since Space Marine Vindicators have AP 2 large blast.

Change was made.  The rule was in there to prevent Vindicator spam (and similar things).

[Chase]

Is terminator or scout army allowed in this shindig?

Yes, but they both aren't wearing power armor.

[Chase]

How about bloodletters?  Do they count?

Bloodletters are demons, right?  If they're in the CSM book you can take them but they don't count towards the 750 points of power armor.

[andalucien]

I was kidding Chase... bloodletters are about as far from Power Armor as you can get

[Chase]

Can't ever be sure!

[corporaptor primus]

Will there be a future event for horde armies?  Like model count must be at least 100 our something like that?

interesting idea but it would never work for a tournament. Horde armies you have what? Orks, IG, Nids, maybe a few other codexs that have the ability to hordes.

That severely limits the amount of people that could sign up for it and doesn't make sense for BG from a business perspective.

[andalucien]

Well... how is that different from a Power Armour only tournament?    This tourney is explicitly limited to 7 out of the 15 armies.

[NateT]

I agree, this is a neat premise, and there should be a way of doing this to favor "horde" armies without excluding too many other armies. 

Maybe 750 points of 5+ armor saves? Marine armies are out, any others?

Actually, as a thought experiment, are there any armies that COULDN'T do 750 points of 4+?  Just a thought, I can't picture anyone buying that many marine scouts, but it is certainly possible!

this seems more doable than having a minimum of 100 models, however that will still be a large model count as cheap horde units dont generally have a lot of upgrades.

750 Points of space marines is easy to field as most people can make that number no problem with upgrades and such

having enough people with over 100 models of a particular army or even 750 of just cheap units to justify a tournament does not seem likely to me.

BG is a business and i'd be surprised if you could even get 20 people with enough of said units to show up to an event like that.

[Chase]

There are currently no plans to do a similar event for horde armies.

Although there are currently no plans for any 40k event after TANKSgiving in Novemeber... so... you never know.

[Grimwulfe]

Templcon practice?

[Chase]

Im sure that'll happen, but this is the first I've thought about it.

There just aren't any plans for anything beyond November yet.
