You’re the first tournament worldwide that has put any specific restrictions around the HPA….so you must be seeing something the rest of the world isn’t  Wink

Umm.... 6? 7? That's my guess.

They're still fantastic choices. You can have that and a Furnace or Bell. You can take a Doom Rocket and a couple of weapons teams for the warmachines.

I thought the mainstay rule was the most interesting part of their race specific rules. That's a bit of a kick in the teeth for the rats.


Vampires are getting away with murder! Band B and bugger all restrictions! What a great time to be dead!


EDIT - Cripes! I need to register for Equinox! Gah!

Hey Guys,

Lee from the Club has offered to support our Tournament. He has given us a fantastic deal where if you enter Equinox you can purchase his Miniature Foam carry bags fully loaded with foam for a fantastic reduced price. You will have seen them around at your gaming club because they are very handy and popular.They usually retail ~$100 but if you enter Equinox you can purchase them for only $60. I will take all your orders and they will need to be paid for to reserve you a bag. Please don't fill this thread with questions about bags so PM me if you need to know more.

Enter Equinox and buy this Foam Miniature carrybag for $60

BAG DIMENSIONS:  38x30x22 (cm) Which will fit GW foam as well. Foam included will hold 216 models.



Pockets in the front which you can store Templates, Armybooks and Codexes.



There is an option for pick n pluck foam as well.



So a very sharp bag with 6 layers of foam included. Should be a must for all you serious Gamers.

just make sure there ain't any huge as terrain pieces that can take up 1/4 of the table..  Wink

Terrain pieces in reality should be no more than 12" in diameter.  Helps to have them as actually "useable" as well...  in regards to removable trees etc to allow troop placement.  Not always possible I'm aware, but helps immeasureably.

Hey Guys,

Well with Early Bird registrations ending tonight we have 32 pre-registered and paid.
This Doesn't count the ones who haven't paid.
I will send out a bulk email to remind everyone the cut off date and also will give everyone a couple of days grace before the Entry fee becomes $40.
The level of competition is looking very good.
We have some notable names confirmed such as 'The Vod', Pete Dunn and Reid Pittams.
It should be a humm dinger!

Cheers,

Phil.

Lee from the Club has offered to support our Tournament.

...

Please don't fill this thread with questions about bags so PM me if you need to know more.
BWA HAHA! I'm going to post a question here anyway.


Will these be available on the day? Or will you be taking orders on the day? Or do we need to register interest now, prepay and then recieve them on the day?
(and are the pluck foam options available?)

Well lotsa interest in the bags so far.

1. Pick n Pluck foam will be in the country around Feb 14th. They are 3 of the normal trays height. Bags can be ordered with 6 layers of normal foam or 3layers normal foam with 1 pick and pluck foam loaded. Extra Pick n pluck foams are $20ea.
2. I'll take orders now and if paid for they can be collected every weekend at the City guard. (PM me)
3. Registering interest now gets you the bags sooner.

Cheers.

@Philfy and Antony

Internet banking seems to take 2-3 days to clear payments. So there probably is alot of names I haven't listed. Those of you who have paid and haven't seen your names updated there could be 2 problems.

1. You haven't put any references on your electronic payment. (I still have a couple that haven't contacted me)
2. You have not made your payment and therefore have not confirmed for the tournament. (there is a limited amount of seats for Equinox WFB filling up fast)

@Kittenslayer

I think you should start a Army list thread.

By my count that Feb 8th update of names gives 40 players - and still some obvious names missing.  Looks the goods.

Fantasy at Equinox should reach the 40 threshold easy and I'm trying to make allowances so we can extend it to a 50 player tournament. 50 is the biggest I can make it due to Hall size. Would like more 40k players but alot of them have told me they are on board after Battlecry. The maximum we can cater for 40k is 30 players.
Thanks for giving us the plug after OTT Philfy. With over $1200 worth of prizes getting pumped back into the community it should well be worthy of attending the first Equinox Tournamnet. Please check out our full page advert in the February White Dwarf.

* Reminder that only paid registrations will reserve you a place in the tournament.
**There are still a couple of payments with no details attached. If your name hasn't been updated pls contact me ASAP. I'll do an update of the names after BattleCry.

Hi guys,

Tournament has reached 40players for fantasy now and I have raised the cap to 50 players. There are now 4 payments of the registration fee with no references included with them. I have a rough idea who 1 of them is but not the other 3. If this is you please PM with your details. 50 fantasy players is the maximum the venue will be able to cater for and I will be doing a drive at Battlecry for players. With a few more 40k players we could become the biggest tournament in the country.

Phil.

I just read the final version of the player pack, 60 points for sportsmanship???  that's HALF of the total battle points?

that's 30% of the total score while painting is 10% of the total score?

I really think the sportsmanship score has too great impact on the over all outcome of the result.

since army comp is calculated with the battle points, so IMO army comp % should be included with the battle points.

for example: normal tournament is 20% comp and 60% battle points.

so equinox battle points should be 80% of the total.

seriously, we are there to play toy soldiers, not to go around and make friends with everyone or have a painting competition..

10% painting is pretty standard.  But yes the sports percentage does seem a little on the high side.  With comp figured into battle, and hard caps in play it would make sense to me for battle to have a higher than "usual" weighting.
