im in

I'm in too, provided I can get my army to 2500 by then.

I am going to assume that this is taking the place of the next Siege.

Well Matt is running this one, so I'd assume Chris is still running the seige

oh, whoops.

Nope. It's taking up the date for the next siege, so this will be taking its place. At least I'm pretty certain that's what gamewizard said the other day.

Yeah, we decided that since he already had a day 'set' for a tournament it would just be the easiest thing to set this up instead of that tournament.

Hope I didn't throw anyone's plans off.

The new Blood Angels codex will be legal here, correct? =)

Considering (I assume) the codex will be useable by the time actual AB rolls around, then I can't really block it. I'll just need to sit down and manually verify the list since AB won't have a file for it.


Also: I've only received 1 list so far. Just a reminder, to anyone who wants to play, I need your lists by 3/27.

bringing mine by today

I have bdix's list at the shop, Capn'

Just a reminder that army lists are due tomorrow!

How do we stand with this event? I have two lists here at the shop, one person just called me and asked if he could submit his list on Monday.

I told him that Capn' would have to make that determination since all lists were to be in by 3-27.

I probably forget to tell you Chris but I left a copy of my List there on Friday night. If you can't find it it's still saved on that front computer as 'Chaos Ard Boyz' I think...

Which two lists do you have? I tried to drop by Friday, but no one could decipher your flawless filing system

If someone wants to drop a list of monday, that's fine. I'm still waiting on a list from someone else who had to go back and re-do something.

As it stands right now we have 8 players (Assuming the two lists at the shop are Blake's and Andy's). With the list that i'm waiting to pick up on Monday that will give us 9 players.

So far I have the following lists:
Brent
Blake
Andy
Dan
Matt H
Mike
Chris
Jon

I will be there to spectate, but I don't have 2500 points of nids. so no play for me

Blake's list is in a manila folder above the wooden desk that is facing the wall behind the register. The file says " 'Ard Boyz Practice " on it in big black ink. Rob knows about it, I thought I showed it to Andy.

I'll call and let the other player ( Kevin M ) know he can submit a list tomorrow.

So that will take us to ten.

Kevin M said no, so I guess that puts us back to 9.

8 actually. I think you came up w/ an extra player.

Themcfadden has graciously agreed to be the ringer, so we should be covered in the event of a dropout or something of that nature.

I have 7/8 tourney packs together (sorry, bsimon - your version of AB hates mine).

Look forward to seeing everyone saturday morning. Remember, the earlier the better! It's going to be a long day w/ strict time limits.

Alright. Round 1 scenarios are in the tourney packs now. Show up and pay early, you get a sneak peak at the devastation to come.

Hope to see everyone bright and/or early tomorrow. Good luck to our field of players!

Well it was a great event! Thanks for all who came out.

Space Wolves took it home with three (3!) massacre victories. Congrats to Monkey on the big win. Dannato took second with a wall of monoliths. Bsimon came in third with Space Wolves packing as many chicken legged dreadnoughts as he could get into his list.

Will put up full scores later.
