starter tournaments

[jesterofthedark]

Hey,

I know you guys have recently started new armies.  I was just curious if there was ever talk of a starter set tournament.   I was just reading the boards the the privateer press site and they were talking about some they've had.

[Ian Mulligan]

That would be totally awesome. I know Matt was interested in an event like this a while back. anyone else up for it?

[jesterofthedark]

I've been thinking about starting up Circle so depending on the day I would be down. 

[jesterofthedark]

you guys could even amend it to include you armies of Immoren plan.  I think most of the starters are around 350 pts.  So just have a tourney with that, if the interest is there you could get D to order the expected starter sets needed. 

Might work well with you guys (Ian and Matt) around.  Cuz players could look into armies without needed the starter if there was a caster they liked, and you guys know so much about the game in general you could advise very well.

I'd dig this - especially since I just put together my Khador starter.

I'd give it a shot, though the painting is coming along slowly but the basic blue is on the Cygnar's.

[jesterofthedark]

well painting the figures doesn't have to be a requirement for entry. 

A $5-$10 dollar entry fee would be low enough to encourage participation.  Should there be any restrictions though would be my question??  I know the starter sets are pretty good to go, and a 350 setting allows some room for addition to the boxes. (i.e. a troop choice)  But should anything else be addressed in your opinions??

[Ian Mulligan]

Mangled Metal should be in effect. Troops at 350 ruin game balance.

[Lykosan]

whats mangled metal? only jacks?

[Ian Mulligan]

Only jacks and beasts.

[Matt Thomas]

YAY!!!

[Matt Thomas]

This format sounds like a lot of fun and it should make for a fairly quick tournament. The only issue is finding a day when we can get enough people to make it.

[Ian Mulligan]

With enough notice, I'm sure we can get folks!

How's November 8th sound to everyone? The store calendar looks free that day. I figure over a month's notice should be enough for people to make arrangements.

[Paul Calder]

Thats a really cool idea.  I can't wait to dust off the Juggernaut!

[jesterofthedark]

yea, I just need to get derek to place and order for one or two morer figs and then I just need to paint like the dickens.   


But just to be clear we are planning on nov 8th and a mangled metal format??  cuz that will decide if I get more warbeast or troops between now and then.
