Half of me wants to say "hey since we're doing forgeworld lets go one step further and allow super heavies!"

and before everyone says "OH NOES! you cant do that, they're overpowered!"

*you still have to pay 400 or 500 points for it hurting the rest of your list

*stompas and baneblades still die pretty easy to chainfists and such

just throwing it out there. Maybe allowed them at a event that has forgeworld or a stand alone event like TANKSgiving with a small cost attached to it such as TANKSeaster, TANKS flag day or TANKS memorial day to honor the troops.

I think you would get people to jump at the chance to break out their superheavies they only get to use once or twice a year.

I liked the useability of forge world stuff. I dont think Super Heavies should be allowed unless you want guys like me to start showing up with a Thunder Hawk because if they are allowed dont think for a second i wont do it.  That thing sits on my shelf as an orniment more than a game peice. I think we just need to do more casual games of Apoc.

I don't really have a problem with FW being allowed.

I do not plan to make FW legal in a broad sense outside of Doubles... Unless BG can somehow order and sell the stuff off the wall.  ;)

 Makes sense, but kinda a let down. But I think there should be at lease 1 singles a year where FW is allowed. Also more events like tanksgiving, even if there is no prize/ we pay a $5 entry fee to support a prize. There has even been some talk in Abington about doing a dogfight event.

I agree about running late, though it was the first event in the new store, and abington seems to run less large 40k events than plainville does, plus it is doubles.  So I guess it can be forgiven. ;)

I had a great time, though I will say, the last scenario had one major problem with it.  Whoever won the roll to place objectives was at a significant advantage considering the Hammer and Anvil deployment.

I honestly think for Tourney missions that require objectives, going the standard "one in the middle, one in the direct center of each quarter" works best; that way no matter what the deployment each player/team has an equidistant length to move to get to an objective.

I prefer one objective in the center of the board. Whether the remaining objectives are placed by the scenario or the players depends on the mission.

Odd objective in the center, with rest player-placed I think is best.   There is a tactical aspect to objective placement.

Did anybody think $40 per team was a little much?

I thought it was fine, considering the prize support.

You must consider, BG is handing over almost their entire space for the entire day. And as Logan mentioned, awesome prize support.

$20 per head is the standard for 40k events at BG and personally it's a small price to pay to support great stores that allow us to come in and use the tables whenever there's not a tournament for free
