Thank you for all the interest so far. The first week back from holidays has been very busy. Will have bank details confirmed and organised Monday morning. I will email everyone who has sent me an email the Players pack and banking details. Once you have deposited your entry fee a place will be reserved for you in the tournament.

Phil.

[Rob Shirley]

Hey Phil,

I'm interested in playing FOW.
I've got the draft players pack from Steve Chambers pre-Xmas,
but want to pay my $ please.

Regards,
Rob

[wouster7]

Registration has opened and the players pack has been sent to all the competitors from last year and any enquiries in my inbox. If I have missed you out or you would like to attend this event please let me know via email.


Cheers,

Phil

great effort on the hard work mate

[Derick]

I'm in 

Now to work on my list....

Slann with toys would only be allow to throw a max of 8 PD dice per turn... still how often do you need to roll dwellers, should be able to do it with 6 dice...

Lets see Lord on Carnie plus 2 stegs doesn't seem to be ruled out.

one unit no more than 40 models... hmmm 40 Kroxies? 40 cold ones? damn points limit

Got to do something different this time around...

[Argron]

Got to do something different this time around...

War spear on ancient Steg. Will crush any block that thinks its man enough to hold the charge.

How about any Vampire Lord with a 2+ save, 4+ ward, Ogre Blade and Red Fury/Infinite Hatred?

Oh wait... that's what The Dwellers Below is for!

[richardbarby]

(Max 4 Warmachines and template weapons. Warmachines that use a template count as a single choice and all template weapons from magic items, abilities etc also count except for spells.)

taking the above from the pack does than mean a breath attack that has a template would count as a warmachine for warmachine limits ?

All template weapons count towards your warmachine cap, except for spells so yes.

Oh wait... that's what The Dwellers Below is for!

Are you reliving your dreaded rolling of a 6 and only a 6 for last year Dave? It' a whole new year and a whole new tournament and perhaps you'll roll a 5 and it'll be all good minus a couple of shudders.

Thanks for all the positive sounds from the community so far and yes the tournament is 2400pts for WFB.

News:

Flames of War Players pack is out and once you confirm your interest with me I'll send you the bank account details for registration.

Warmachine pack is also out and will be two one day events.

[Josh]

Yo Phil, flick me an email when you get a chance to confirm receipt of my payment/registration. Ta dude

[wouster7]

Thank you for all those who have made their early registration payments. I will go through the bank account in the weekend and send everyone confirmations and also the army list template for list submission. Two months prior to the tournament and we are looking very healthy for entries so far.

[Hunter_Flood]

Hey Phil, you've got the early rego date set at 'before Jan 30th'. Any chance to pay early rego fee on the 30th?

[wouster7]

Just a quick reminder that early registration $35 finishes on the 30th of January. I will be at the club to collect entries otherwise please advise me via email if you're entering and you'll have a weeks grace to bank transfer your entry before it will increase to $45. Remember that there is a $50 Voucher on offer to be won by all those who have registered early

[Sectiplave]

I'm still gauging how well pulling a sickie will suit the future of my employment, but I'm keeping my avenues open for now. Quick question about Special Characters for 40K, any limits on these guys? Like if someone has claimed a special character are they 'taken' etc.

[Heavily medicated]

Err ummm..... can I play two?

Quick question about Special Characters for 40K, any limits on these guys? Like if someone has claimed a special character are they 'taken' etc.

All special characters are allowed in your army at Equinox 40k as long as they are allowed in a 1850pt game. We are not going to keep a list of them so go nuts : )

Err ummm..... can I play two?

Everyone is welcome to register and play whether you are a member of Auckland City Guard or a potential member

[Fujin]

Hey! What happened to the previous years winner getting free entry?!

[Tuatara]

Thanks for the update old bean.

[wouster7]

News:

Question is, does everyone want a Team competition held for Fantasy like we did last year. It's played with teams of four on the Saturday evening 6-8.30pm. Each team plays another team with 4 x 2400pt games with highest pts tally taking out the Trophy. The Team challenge Trophy will be up for grabs as well as medals. I'll hold it again if there are enough teams interested. Get your mates to form a team of four and email your team details.

Thank you all to those who have paid promptly for their entry into the Event. Trophies and Medals will be organised by the end of the week and if time permits I'll have the Prize cabinet organised from our main sponsor " Vagabonds in the City" too.

Still a few spaces left for Fantasy and 40K, so if you know anyone in your club or gaming circle wanting to attend and are not registered yet, give them a quick reminder.

[Josh]

Did I hear that there's no grudges this year?
I'm keen to join in on the team event again if there's some blokes (or lasses) out there that want to claim the title this year with me.

<snip>

So after playing 3 games from 9 through to 5, we get to have another 2400pt game just to round off the day...
Just a suggestion... 500pt raiding parties?
Each member of a team to play against each team in some sort of round robin event. Your have a team of 4, ranked 1 thru 4. All Rank 1's play against each other, rank 2's, rank 3's and rank 4's.
With the short/small  game format should be able to knock off the games in under 30 mins each, 4 teams of 4, 2 hours
Also makes a change from 2400pt games.

[wouster7]

@ Derick

Would like to stick to the armies used in the tournament for the trophy.
It's true that 4 games in a day is for the hardcore WarHammer fan.
There is a trophy, medals and prizes so it's like a mini event for a team of mates and no entry fee.
Aren't you organising a raiding party event some time soon : )
I'm always open to suggestions and teams will have to be organised first.
I'll keep everyone up to date as soon as I know more.


Cheers,

Phil.

[richardbarby]
