I sent Mike an email this morning with the request for a date. Will keep everyone posted.

Odd question, but this would likely be on a weekend if it does happen, correct?

I'm new to AoS but I'm definitely interested. I could scrape together together 2K of Stormcast or Nighthaunt and maybe 1.5k of Krulboyz - nothing super competitive.

This could only be on a weekend, as tournaments are ONLY done on weekends at Nexus. no worries on bringing a competitive list... all our local tournies are pretty friendly and all prizes are draws, so there's literally nothing to be gained by bringing a competitive list. just have fun!

I was unaware of the weekend restriction. Makes sense though. Thank you.

Thus far it looks as though 2k is the clear winner for number of votes... if it was a toss up I'd probably go with the lower bracket, but it seems that the community has spoken with what they want, so who am I to disagree! lol
I will say I played my FIRST game of 3.0 last night, and although I got properly stomped into the dirt, the new game is VASTLY improved in my opinion. It still appears I'm just as bad at it as before lol, but there's so many fun new interactions. They did a great job from what I'm seeing.

Ok, I'll be sure to request the day off. Have plenty of time to do so.

Hey so this will probably be in the your tournament post but I'ma ask anyway in case it hasn't been considered yet:
Status of god heroes and friends. Obviously, Sigmar has a lot of these that are integral to some lists so I'm not sure it's as simple as banning them like you can with lords of war. But for list building, are we allowing the Archaeons, Morathis and Gotreks of the world?
if it's 2k I imagine it's probably okay but I wanted to ask. There also isn't really a clear cutoff of what counts so any list would have to be ad hoc.

I honestly do not have the experience with AOS to start a ban list or anything like that... I honestly don't know at this point what would be over the top and not to include.
I think most of the people attending are new players so build accordingly... All the prizes will be draws so there is literally no incentive for stomping players into the dirt. It's a 100% friendly beginner tourney, and most people won't really have access to any of the current "meta builds".
Winner just gets a crisp high five.. oh wait covid... ummm, a round of applause... that's it... so you don't want to bring a list that results in "slow clap and eye roll" instead right?

Just making sure since a lot of the casual 40k tournies restrict that stuff. I'm playing CoS with dwarves so probably not particularly meta lol
