[Plainville MA] 40k 1850 Swedish Komp Event - 3/22

What would it say if a 0 Komp list wins the tournament? To me, that says either the winning player is most skilled/lucky, and/or it flags units/armies that should be re-examined within the Komp scoring.

We could reduce the skilled/luck side of the statement significantly by matching up players with similar score lists in the first round, because all 0 lists are supposed to be equal in theory, just as all 3 lists are supposed to be equal to all 3 lists.

if a 0 komp list wins by a single point (or some other small number of points), then what it means is that the points bonus given to an army with a lower komp value is working properly since the win is within the range of the points awarded to the player for playing a 'weaker' army. if the 0 komp army is winning by a landslide, then you might want to evaluate how the komp scores were calculated.

Question regarding Daemons... It says here 1komp for every 4th mastery level on a FMC... Our FMC can only take 3 mastery levels...

[robpro]

Does it refer to the cumulative total between all FMCs?

[Dalymiddleboro]

says every fourth on a FMC singular, doesn't say plural. So I'm assuming it's on one.

I dont play this game but I have opinions.

I agree with robpro, here. Why have comp scores adjust point totals if for one round its engineered such that they may as well not exist? Isn't the idea also that the bonus/penalty makes the match up fair and thus negate any need to rig pairings?

It is typically done when the range allowance is larger, as some strategies can be to get the most comp points possible and just play defensive/unengaging the whole time.   Pairing someone with a comp score close to them makes this strategy risky.

So, you choose to read it that it is comping something that is impossible in the game?   Makes sense 


It doesn't say FMC as singular, it states it as a unit type.

Take all mastery levels on FMCs, add them together, the 4th and 8th and 12th ones cost you 1 komp point each.

This is why I posted here for clarification. You alright man?

[Tsilber]

This seems like a cool idea. I think im reading it correctly, but I would only have 1 Komp (Bel'akor) if I used the same list In the last tourney I placed first at up at BG.

 I will try to make this one Chase. Ill give you a more definite soon.

[Dalymiddleboro]

Would be good to see ya Todd, been a while since I moved back to Boston from CT.

I will be playing in this one with my Necron hoard, but probably end up with a 3comp army.

Chase, are you allowing the knight titans for this event? Also, how are you comping forge world units? I haven't checked the first post to see if there have been updates, but I remember the question not really being 100% answered yet.

[Chase]

I suppose it's that time.

FW will be comped on a case by case basis.  If you're planning to use a FW model please let me know asap.


Knights will be allowed.  Taking one of them will be 1 point.  The second will be 290354092384.

[robpro]

You might want to make the knight 2 or 3 points. Banning escalation and the komp restrictions make it very hard for armies eithout a knight to deal with a knight.
