14th June W40k event

[lagar312]

I'd go with following comp-

No unbound armies - Armies must be battle-forged and have a max of 2 detachments (this includes the primary detachment).

Come the Apocalypse Allies are not allowed

No Lords of War maybe taken

Fortifications are allowed (except for the Fortress of Redemption and Aquila Stronghold).

Psychic phase - The warp charge pool is capped at 12 dice

All missions will use the Maelstrom of War objectives. When cards are draw should you be unable to complete the objective (ie. Kill the Flyer when your opponent does not have one this card maybe discarded and a new card drawn).

Thoughts/comments gents?

All good ideas.

My one thought is that I have no problems including Lords of War and all the other funky bits that come with 7th Ed, it's just that a fair few people won't have even experienced Super Heavies, D Weapons (even though they have now been nerfed a fair bit) and some of the other funky stuff. Will it be easy to judge what we should eventually put down as our future format when you have so many additional things to take into consideration in one go, some of it without prior experience?

I definitely think the Tactical Missions will be a lot of fun and should be included from the off, and agree G that you should be allowed to discard anything that cannot effect the game and draw another (e.g. like you said, "Kill the Flyer" but your oppo doesn't have any).

I've had no experience of Lord of War impact on the game and as such will bow to greater minds on this!
Just want to ensure we dont end up with people turning up with just Titans so maybe just a % cap would be sufficient?

Dont want to go too hard on comp tbh just looking at fixing some of the glaring issues... want this to be a fun event not an excuse to moan about what you couldnt take

Bah, Ninja'd!!!

Comp looks good. Do we want to use similar OG Comp for FOC/Unit restrictions as before?

Comp Suggestions from me:
- No more than 2 Elites, 2 Heavies, 2 Fast and no duplicates.
OR
- 1 Elite, 1 Heavy, 1 Fast and 1 floating slot for those three, no duplicates (so your floater could be an additional Heavy, or Fast, or Elite, but only one of the options. Also means more emphasis on Troop units, which are actually needed if playing Maelstrom of War).

- Max 2 Flying units made up of FMCs and/or Flyers, but only 1 AV12 Flyer allowed.

Just throwing stuff out there. Also, I can't make June 14th as I'm moving house - if we could defer a week it would give everyone more time to playtest the new book, but obviously don't move it just on my account.

Keep this going, once you guys have consensus write up the finalised copy and I will put it on the event. Cheers

Quick thought for the floor -

Once we have a confirmed framework for 40k, should we post it as a sticky as the "standard" by which people play on a regular Thur/Sat club night? Given there are so many variations of how to play 7th now, it would make it easier for people to just arrange a standard game knowing what the benchmark is - but then there's obviously nothing stopping two people varying that Core if they want to play something a little different (by adding in Lords of War, or playing Unbound or whatever).

Thoughts?

Sounds like a plan but wouldn't this be covered by OG comp once we have it sorted?

Right Gents WIP OG Comp for this event is up.

We'll be looking for 8 players for this event. Armies will be 1500pts and we will be using Maelstrom of War missions (3 games).

As this is a 1st time event for us now Ol's left it'll only be £5 a head so get in quick!

Event has also been posted up on the 40k section of TWF
