Battle For Planet OG V - Sat 14th January - Doubles

[fatolaf]

Planet OG 5
Saturday 14th January

As with all OG events, non painted models are allowed

3 games of 40K, Doubles (2000pts)

Any  combo of codecs can team up (blame the warp for any unlikely pairings  ), except for the same codex.

Each player (in the team) must have 1 HQ choice and 2 troops choices minimum ands follow it's own Force Organisation Chart.

The armies must follow the following OG Comp:


*Only Troop choices can hold and contest objectives

*No Duplication of units than can be purchased outside of the troops category (this includes anything that can be 'made' into a troops choice by special abilities etc

* Each (1k) army is considered a seperate army, so no abilities, wargear etc can affect the other army in the team. You are simply fighting together, not trusted allies..

*For each unit of Infantry in a transport you must have a unit of infantry on foot

*Special Characters are not permitted

All lists must be pre-submitted, and Timmy comp will be used to make sure no lists are too strong..
The aim of this event (as with all of them) is fun, and to encourage new players to take part. Power Gamers or WAAC lists are kindly asked not to attend or be submitted...



The Missions

Game 1) Annihilation / Spearhead (Vehicles of any kind and Monstrous creatures are all worth 3 KP's, HQ choices are worth 2 KP's)

Game 2) Seize Ground / Pitched battle

Game 3) Capture & Control / Dawn of War (A 3rd objective must be placed in the centre of the board)


Scoring System

This is how Tournament Points are calculated at the end of each game:

-10 Points for a win
- 5 Points for a draw
- 0 Points for a loss

Kill Points must be recorded in every game and will be used instead of VP's to sort out players rankings, Vehicles of any kind and Monstrous creatures are all worth 3 KP's, HQ choices are worth 2 KP's

Hi Ol,

Well first up apologies for dropping off the planet for a bit, have had some personal things going on which has meant I have been living in a cave for a month or so but am back out now! :)

Has the Guard comp been sorted out, or is it best just to not bring them? I was going to give my old Cadians a whirl but don't mind too much if I can't.

I would like to come along to this, I will see if I can grab Ben or Ian too but I must admit I may have to get some models built as my armies don't currently fit the comp rules.

Apart from one.... What's your view on Blood Angels Death Company lists. At a 1000pts it's pretty rubbish on it's own, but combined with another 1000pts it might be a bit nasty.

Cheers, Chris.

I feel like I should ask 2 important questions:

"Each player (in the team) must have ... 1 Troops Choice..."

1) Is this a typo or are you thinking this way, because the overall army will have 2 troops minimum? Its an interesting change that could have some interesting consequences (I'm not saying bad ones mind you...) for army builds in a doubles environment.

2) Do abilities in one army affect the other, ie Homing Beacons, Psychic Powers etc? This one needs a clear answer before people build lists around it...

Dude I've written my ideas For guard comp up as a new thread In the 40k bit. Which I believe Ol is going to take up for OG VI (the next singles, not the January one). Please have a look and let me know what you think??

[StraightSilver]

Ah Cool, will do. :)

[badusernametag]

Dude, please put me and my yet un-named partner down for a place.

Also please clarify:
Do the army composition rules (mainly talking about the slot filling bit here) apply to the army as a whole or to each players bit?
Ie: can one player take two heavy support while the other takes two elites and fast attack (army as a whole) or would the first player have to take a fast attack and an elite before he took the second heavy support (each persons bit)??

[maelzch]

I could well be up for this, anyone want to team with some space wasps?

[lagar312]

Ol, can you pop me and Sascha down to play (provisionally for me at the mo)...

Team name to be announced!

[Tom Loyn]

Potentially up for some teamwork Lee! Might have to dig out my orks if I can, so we have no guns whatsoever :p just waiting on Jimbob though so we'll confirm.
