Fluffycon Summary

As part of Battlecry we’re very pleased to announce summary details for Fluffycon, WHFB tourney, 18-19 February.

The full pack for this will be available in a few weeks time – I’ll update the thread accordingly.

Battlecry are currently accepting registrations via their website. They have an awesome venue again at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama. We have locked in a max of 20 tables, so this will be first come, best dressed. Registration costs are very reasonable: $25 is the early bird cost if you register by 15 November. The organizers are working very hard to produce a similarly large event to previous years and talking to all sorts of gaming connected companies and clubs about being involved. It promises to be a fantastic tournament.

An ideal event if you’re looking to try out a tourney for the first time or you’re an experienced gamer wanting a different sort of a tactical challenge. We have 20 tables available on a first come, first best dressed basis. If this is one of your first events, you will need to have your army completely painted to a basic standard. This means at least a couple of basecoats and finished bases! Other than that with its emphasis on fluffier, less hardcore builds it’s a great tourney to get a good feel for the game and enjoy two days of fun and relaxed gaming.

Glen Tibbles and I will be the TO’s for the event. Here are the headline details:

2000 points.
6 rounds. Scenarios, mysterious terrain.
60% Battle, 10% Sports, 10% Painting, 20% Fluffycomp.
No special characters, allies, storm of chaos or other weird stuff.
Chaos Doofs, DoW are fine.
Core must be at least 700 points.
No lord choices, no double rares.
Maximum of 100 points to spend on magic items and anything similar (marks, abilities, powers, demonic gifts etc). Does include magic level upgrades from L1 to L2, doesn’t include BSB upgrade.
There will be modified ETC hard caps and army specific restrictions set out in the full pack.
Sports – 5 point scale, peer scored with some checklists for additional (non scoring) feedback on how you felt the game went.
Painting – armies must be painted to a minimum ‘3 basecoats and bases finished’ standard. We will be enforcing this. You’ll get 75% of the painting points if you’ve gotten your army finished to a basic tabletop standard. There will be a separate player vote to determine best painted.
Fluffycomp – peer scored (like sports) at the end of each game against some simple guidelines. TO’s will add a score each and we’ll then drop high / low. We will use the TO’s initial scores to seed the first round draw. And we’ll add the cumulative fluffycomp scores to the battle points to work out the swiss chess draw.

While you can enter with a list that complies with the hard caps you run the risk of your peers and TO’s scoring your fluffycomp accordingly. Fluffycon has always been about taking a list that isn’t ‘optimal’ for a conventional tournament and using some of the less common options in the list. Players are encouraged to really get into this mindset and then enjoy the different tactical challenges on the tabletop – but battle is still set at 60% to encourage some good competitive gaming.

Feel free to email me at reid.pittams@aderant.com with questions in the meantime. We’ll update this thread with further info such as FAQ’s and sample lists going up in the coming weeks.

Cheers
Reid.
