[Abington + Plainville] Halloween MONSTER MASH - 10/31

[Typhus]

A better question for those of us who want to play Demons;  Models that come with Warlord traits.  Do the traits work?

[keithb]

no.

You are not a warlord, there is no force. you are just a single model hanging out.

[Grimwulfe]

Have to agree with Keith here.

[Sir_Prometheus]

I think mephiston should be allowed as an honorary MC.

[shwnlyns]

A thought occurred, are Tyranids going to subject to instinctive behavior?

[Grimwulfe]

All Nid MC are pretty much characters and have synapse its a mute point

[Vermillion]

All Nid MC are pretty much characters and have synapse its a moot* point

I may have misinterpreted this but I thought that we weren't allowing character upgrades for MCs? Or did I just grossly misinterpret what you meant?

The original post has been updated.  Please let me know what else needs to be addressed.


Players can take any upgrade that they'd normally be able to take so long as it fits the rules of the event.

Looks great, Chase!  I desperately hope I can make it!

So, I am not sure if I can make this, because of having to take the kids trick or treating, but...

I have an excellent model that would make a good deamon (and now that my airbrush is FINALLY returned from being serviced) that I have been itching to paint.  My question is about base size.  Big deamons are on 60mm bases (i Belive), this guy wouldn't exactly fit on that, plus I have a plan for a decorative base using a 120mm-ish base.

Would this be Ok for this event?  I guess another question is what is the GW rule on bigger bases in general?  Not that I am planning on making another army, just curious.

[Chase]

I'd really like people to have the appropriate bases for their monster.  This event is going to be SUPER chaotic and loose.  Avoiding potential questions, hard feelings, and potential hard feelings stemming from inappropriate base sizes is something I'd like to avoid.

I'm not saying you can't do what you'd like to do, I'm just saying I'd prefer people to have appropriate bases.


In tournament setting Battleground asks that players have their models on the base (size) the model currently comes with.  If you do not have your models on it's current base we ask that you be prepared to provide a stand in model.  If you can not produce a stand in model and there is some sort of base size related rules dispute, we will not rule in your favor.

[Chase]

So what's the final word here?  How do people feel about it?  Anything else that should probably be changed or does it look "good enough?"

Makes sense....No 10inch tall Cthulu then.  I have a couple of other deamons that I can use.

Looks good now. I know there will be a ton of crazy rules interactions that will pop up, but that's the nature of the beast.

• Disengaging will not be allowed. You came to fight, not to run.

I'd actually like to see this codified somehow. Maybe a scoring penalty for each round spent not shooting or attempting an assault, at the judge's discretion.
