never having done the tournament thing before, how/where/when do we pay ?

[khaosgoblin]

Now I have the new book & army PDF's I aim to have the rules pack out by next Monday.

Payment will be by paypal (preferable) or cheque (or cash if you are at midlands open) details will be in the pack.

So will this be your first event?

Hey Mark

Got to pull out of this one. Going to be up in Scotland for a birthday bash.

Sorry

Mark, if you're still going to allow the Indy GT chaos dwarf book, one bit of comp would be needed for how blunderbuss would work in 8th.

With potentially larger units kicking around, the ability to hit every model on 4+ is obscene! I'd reccomend just replacing it with the 'volley fire' rule.

Tbh, I'm probably the only person who'd be taking chaos dwarfs so I'd be fine to take Chaos Warriors instead just to save confusion whilst people are still getting the hang of 8th!

Are you still gonna go with 1500 points mate?

[khaosgoblin]

Hi John, sorry you cant make it.

Lee, youre right unless an errata is produced for the CD I think it would be best to keep them out as it will be complex enough for people.

I think the volley fire idea is excellent & I hope they adopt it.

Hoping to have the pack out for Monday.

Mark

[maelzch]

the 8th version oft he CD book definatley won't be out be monday!

I'll use my warriors then

Yes it will, and yes Ol, I will play a couple of games at the club first....

Good man!
