New idea, and I'm just throwing it out there.... feel free to send right back.

The day of we have two team captains and then we pick teams, you know old school kick ball rules.  Anybody with me? You know like in elementary school.  But instead of picking the fat kid last we just have the two captains argue over who gets stuck with the ginger....

Just spit ballin ideas, no pressure.  KICK BALL!

I heard a rumor that we may be using the Eye Of Terror as a scenario for this year, is that true?  If so then that changes the side for the Necrons (that a few others and I play) from chaos to order.

Not true.  Something like trying to reproduce the Eye of Terror scenario was mentioned briefly when we were trying to figure out what to do for the event.... Mainly just trying to decide if we wanted 1 giant, 40 person table, or more than 1 table.


What has been decided is that we are going to have 3 different tables.

A moon table - 5v5 - made up of three 4x6 tables.
A planet surface table - 10v10 - made of up six 4x6 tables.
An underground cavern table - 5v5 - made up of three 4x6 tables.

Each table will interact to some extent with another table(s) and objective points scored on each table will be combined to determine your teams overall score.

You will not be allowed to deploy or transfer models to a table different than the one your team decides you will be playing on.

After much deliberation and talking with some people I came to a new opinion. I think disorder should have access to full imperial guard lists with these conditions:

1.  The army must look the part. Its not fair for those players who spent lots of time and money to make conversions to be told "no"

2. A phrase I recently learned needs to apply. Wheaton's law, dont be a dick.

With those 2 conditions met I do not see or for see a problem with traitor guard.

Sign me up!

Ian Mulligan - Chaos Space Marines and Traitor Guard (With whatever codex you whiners want me to use ). 4,000 pts should not be a problem.

[Grand Master Steve]

[General Leevous]

My death guard will be there by hook or by crook. I can field 4000 points easily if I'm using the big man

[Achillius]

.... I do not see or for see a problem with traitor guard.

Nice, I am not sure what swayed you, but my thought is this. There are traitor Guard in the universe. And, while they are different to Regular guard in more than just looks, (you can't just flip to Chaos and remain the same), there are those (crazed) individuals that have spent all that time and effort modelling traitor guard. For that reason alone it does not seem fair to penalize them for the fact that GW has not gotten around to updating either the FW rules set, or providing some LOTD style updates.

If the "traitor guard" look the part then I say have at it.


Cheers,
Alan

[jesterofthedark]

Nice so when do we get the Order/Disorder forums going??

[Chase]

When the sign-ups close and the teams are finalized.  It sort of depends on how fast the event fills up.  Currently, there are 15 people signed up... 9 "Order" players and 6 "Disorder" players.

Kev, you are not on the sign up list yet.
