Out of curiosity, what is the normal/expected format for Club Championships? so that I can start preparing/honing in on what force I need to have ready in 2 months.

Out of curiosity, what is the normal/expected format for Club Championships? so that I can start preparing/honing in on what force I need to have ready in 2 months. 2000 pts, everything painted. You can get point 3 ways 1 hobby: paint score including basing, display board and extra touchs 2. Sportsmanship: dont be a jerk and have a normal game get you 3/5 above and beyond is 4-5. 3. Win games: rack up those primary and secondary over the course of games. Dont gove up if it looks bad just try to get some points. |

yep, 2,000 points, any legal army, nothing is restricted so whatever you want. Only restriction is that everything must be painted - it doesn't have to be golden daemon painted - just the basics are totally fine. If you want to go amazing detail that is great - there is a best painted award after all!

Of course what models we bring will depend highly on if GW manages to fix the current backlog issues.
-Still waiting on those D.Stalkers-

Just as a heads up, I've provided the tournament information to Mike at Nexus and it will be posted soon.
There will be some fairly significant changes this year including:
- no more custom missions. I am looking at making custom secondaries to keep some of the old flavour, however over the past TEN YEARS of this tournament (which includes a few edition changes!) the custom missions just don't work anymore.
- painting is significantly changed. There will be a portion of the painting that you score yourself prior to the tournament. It's an easy checklist that you total up and it gives you your basic painting points. This will hopefully get rid of the absolute headache that this part of the tourney has been for me. It's not subjective at all. You either did it or you didn't. If you fulfilled the requirement, you get those points. If I see someone give themselves a huge score when they clearly didn't meet that criteria. I will re-score it for them, and I will be absolutely ruthless, as I would consider this to be tantamount to cheating (ie: I have an amazing display board - then day of there's a tupperware lid!)
There will be scoring for painting and sportsmanship by your opponent (ranking system) at the end of each day, where you rank your opponents from 1st to third in terms of sports, then in terms of painting. This will then remove the "everyone ties" nature of sportsmanship, as a person simply cannot give all of their opponents 5's across the board. This will also give some spread to the painting scores as well.
I'm considering a third painting element where the top three armies are voted on by the attendees at large at the end. But I'm still mulling this part over in my head.
- There will be no points for early bird. You get a t-shirt if you make early bird. That's it. Well that and given we have half the amount of spots we've had compared to every other year, chances are if you don't make early bird you probably don't have a spot anyways!

I like the idea of having a painting check list, have 3 colours here are 12 points, have full basing 4 pts, have a sweet board 4 pts. Then using the people you play to confirm and score your painting as well so you have 6 "judges". really good idea and saves a ton of work.
Also like the scoring each day for sportmanship.
