very good pete. are non gw figs going to be allowed?-i was askd by some1 to ask u---for some reason they think i have a no fear asking these sorts of questions...

Whoo!

I suppose you are considering a no-comp event? No comp 2k points, similar to what seems to be a foreign standard, would be great.

Ah, the only reason to visit Wellington strikes again. Keen as a  bean

Happy to answer the questions.

@Damian -  last year there was no restriction on figures as GW wasn't sponsoring the event (the year before they put up $2000 so they bought that restriction). As i'm not intending GW to be a sponsor there will be no restriction in 2012. However there are caveats. All armies must be painted to at least tabletop standard - No ifs, no buts, no maybes - twelve months is plenty enough notice to get three colours and a wash plus suitable basing on all figures.

@DevlanMiracle - army size is still up for grabs. My preference is 1850 but I may err to 1750 because some people seem unable to finish game in 2.5 hours. Comp is yet to be decided. The power creep in codexes is more noticeable in 5th 40k thand 8th Ed Fantasy, so I'll be doing some thinking. my preference is a light brush.

One thing I will continue is "Best in Race" prizes so that you are also competing against your army book peers.

I'm keen.  Who knows whether I will also be keen a year from now, but I don't see why I wouldn't be!
