[Simon]

player pack stated:

Missions:

will be confirmed 2 weeks before the tournament

can the TO please post the missions up or send through emails so ppl can actually prepare for them??

thanks

[bartosh]

aww man whatever happened to waiting till just before the game and being suprised at what mission youl be playin?.

its so much more fun if you dont know 

[Simon]

yup, fun for veteran 40k player like u, but for rusty 40k players like myself, I prefer to read the mission in advance as I am already struggling to remember all the standard rules.

I prefer to actually play some games during the tournament and not reading through my rulebook and mission pack every 2 mins.

True dat!

Simons got a point, i played one of the new battle missions yesterday and got totally smashed. 

not that i'm complaining, but i personally would like to familiarise myself with the missions if they're available

[wouster7]

All missions used will be from the new " WH40K Battle missions" book. Everyone can also win the book after the conclusion of the tournament. It will be drawn along with numerous other prizes at the Sunday prize giving.

[Simon]

that's great.

so each table are going to get a copy of the mission or something??

becuase I don't have the new 40k battle mission book and not planning to get one either.

I wonder what happen when my opponent also doesn't have the mission book as well?

[omegakai]

you auto lose simon
its in the players pack.

Simon must allways lose.

[pete dunn]

Personally (as a 40k TO) I share Simon's concern. I think that you'll need to be very careful in the selection of missions from the book to ensure they are balanced for tournament play.

[Simon]

 40k missions are so important in a 40k tournament, because win/lose is totally depend on the misson pack a 40k tournament.

[kittenslayer]

argh!  Not those battle missions!

[daemion]

depends which ones u choose.... i chose 4 very specific ones for grumpy daemon with the proviso that each side dice off for the attacker/defender role.... i dont think the ones i chose offer an unfair advantage to either side.... and u have months to scope them out and get some practice in....

still, would be nice to see what u guys are playing b4 the event..... Dave, i cant believe u let dad smash u on sunday bro. gutted. u shoulda ripped those space wolves a new one. mind u.... he is a jammy git.

[NeckFace]

hah

you better have given me a decent comp score, because my army's actually pretty puss.

nah, i'm not the greatest player, but i know what i did wrong.  i still had fun.

[Midvale]

Just wondering about the results for the 40K section of Equinox... any news?? 

[daemion]

charlie and his porks smashed everyone and streaked ahead to get a well deserved 1st place... dad (Andy Duncan) came 5th. thats all i got. yeh dave u had a good comp score.... apparently i should rename myself 'the comp fairy' according to phil as i was gentle with it....

now, im off to paint a converted chaplain i just made a with powerfist and costomised crozius to hang out with my chapter master and honourguard in their pimped out landraider,,,, he puts the shizzle in the pizzle.

[pete dunn]

Hi,

Can I please confirm what armies the following people used:

Josh Thompson
Bruce Zhou
James Hale
Regan Ridge
Thomas Porteus
Sam Payne

Once I've got those I can upload to RankingsHQ and find out how Equinox shook things up.

Thanks

Pete

[NeckFace]

well i know Bruce Zhou played with his Imperial Guard Kreig, and Jame Hale with Salamanders Space Marines

got rightly smashed in this tournie.  all good fun though, and i could've played my army a lot better, but that goes without saying.  my army was actually weak as poos, i just wanted to bring along a bunch of models that haven't seen much action since the new codex came out.  quite stoked that i sorted out how to use my flyrant though.

right now building building building.... there's going to have to be a whole lot more nastiness that i'll be able to bust out ooooooo

hey Damien, bummed i didn't get a chance to yarn to you properly - too absorbed in my games

[wouster7]

Here's what I had listed

Josh Thompson--------- Daemons
Bruce Zhou--------------- Guard
James Hale---------------- Marines
Regan Ridge-------------- Marines
Thomas Porteus--------- Marines
Sam Payne---------------- Dark Eldar

What is Cityguard like as a venue? too hot? Cramped?

What is Cityguard like as a venue? too hot? Cramped?

I found it to be a great venue, decent lighting, dedicated food area, a bit of food near by as well, etc.

Its only limitation seems to be size, but things could afford to get quite a bit more cramped I'm guessing.
