Polling the Next Warhams Tournament

[PhoenixFire]

That is only because you haven't thought about it.

1 psyrifleman dread.   

4 shots, twin linked.   Hit on sixes, reroll misses.  First of all, you have a 2/3 chance that you will get one hit, before rerolls.  Assuming you don't, you still have a 2/3 chance to get one hit with the reroll.  Then I have a 1/3 chance to fall down, and basically take a wound.   Then your army rapes me.  I am only down 230~ point!  sweet.

I actually got lucky last night and knocked a flying Nid down with the 3 twin linked guns on my LRC in the first turn (he landed next to draigo, good times). That being said if it was a flyer and not a flying mc (that cant be knocked out of the sky, just blown up) my list didnt have anything to deal with flyers with an armor value.

It would be fine if nids had other decent fliers than the Flying hive tyrant.   Harpies are not strong enough, so you can just basically ignore them until everything else is dead.

Can this be the start of "ForgeWorld allowed in regular tourneys"?

With forgeworld, perhaps the inequality of access to flyers / Skyfire weapons will be solved.

I dunno, harpy's vector strike will still be ap3, and they have good guns.  I'd take them.

no, that's an entirely different (failed, mostly) game system, like battlefleet gothic.  (I like BG, tho)

[keithb]

did you click the link...?


The harpy is T5 with a 4+ save and 4 wounds....

[Sir_Prometheus]

oh, I think I got that confused with Aeronatutica Imperialis, sorry.

And yes, about the harpy, I know. 

[Serring]

Flying monsterous creature i dont worry about, i have lots of fire warriors to hit em w/, then broadsides hit em while they r down. Vendettas on the other hand....im going to be hoping with broadsides.

Not usually.

What's the name of it?

[Sir_Prometheus]

I betcha he's referring to http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/IMPERIAL_ARMOUR_AERONAUTICA.html

Chase, I believe GW distributors can purchase FW stuff through them, but I suppose your rep would know.  It'd be nice to funnel money through the store, rather than the dirty internets.

I have a bit of a FW sweet tooth myself. 

[Chase]

I'd love to be able to get most / all of the FW books.

For a small period of time some of them were available.  It doesn't look like they are now.  My rep was out today so I'll add it to the laundry list of things I've got to talk to him about.

[Benjamin]

I'm in favor of adding Forge World options at a later date for other tournaments. But for now, learning the new ruleset and making a good first event is daunting enough.

[Grand Master Steve]

is it possible to order that book for Abington?

It is likely that ordering ANY of the IA books through GW is impossible once again.
