Saturday, October 4th, 2014 will be the second annual Games Quest held on base in Kingston.
This one will be held at the Jr's Mess, 2 Sadie Avenue.
This will be a convention, with several events, including open board gaming, D&D, game demos, and other fun things.
And it's for charity! That's right, you can play games and feel good about it! All proceeds to to the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington.
But wait, that's not all! We will also be hosting a...
Warhammer 40K Tournament!
This is a $10 entry tournament, but note that you also need admission to the convention, which is $10 if you get admission by yourself or $20 if you bring the whole family. So bring the wife and the little ones!
BE THERE AT 9:30!!! Game 1 will start at 10:00 sharp!
but what kind of tournament will this be you're wondering I"m sure?
This will be a one day, three round event 1850 points
There will be a 50% painting minimum for this event. That's half your models (not half your points) and you need to get ready for the club championship anyways, so paint your stuff!
Listbuilding can be utilized using CAD, formations, detachments, dataslates, forgeworld etc. Your limit is your imagination and the somewhat loose rules of list construction in 7th edition.
Unbound lists are by prior approval only and will be subject to TO's lack of patience for powergamers If you have a cool idea based on theme then let me know and we can work something out. This is for CHARITY, this isn't a time to be stepping on one another's throats... so as fluffy as you may think 12 wave serpents are, I'm not likely to let that one slide...
There will be custom missions for this event, with multiple means of scoring points and winning your objectives.
No apocolypse formations allowed... they are APOC for a reason
The following fortifications are legal:
Aegis Defense Line
Fortress of Redemption
Imperial Bastion
Promethium Relay Pipes
Skyshield Landing Pad
Void Shield Generator
Firestorm Redoubt
Vengeance Weapons Batteries
Lords of War
Okay, they're in the game now, we get it GW... but we still want people to have fun, so we're going to try the limitations used at the BAO GT, which seemed to work out fine:
the Impending Doom (+1 to Seize the Initiative for a player facing a LoW who does not have one), and Through Attrition, Victory (+1 Victory Point for every 3 Hull Points or Wounds done to a LoW, counted towards the secondary mission) special rules will be in effect if either player in a given game has a Lord of War.
A LoW may be chosen from the following list.
All of the Baneblade chassis vehicles except for the Hellhammer (and Traitor’s Bane variant) and Stormsword, which are not allowed
Crassus Armored Assault Transport
Gorgon Heavy Transporter
Minotaur Artillery Tank
All Macharius chassis vehicles.
All Malcador chassis vehicles except the Malcador Infernus which is not allowed for the BAO 2014
Valdor Tank Hunter
Marauder Bomber (may not take Hellstorm bombs)
Maurader Destroyer
Fellblade
Cereberus Heavy Tank Destroyer
Thunderhawk Transporter
Greater Brass Scorpion of Khorne
Obelisk
Ghazgkull Thraka
Stompa
Gargantuan Squiggoth
Kustom Battle Fortress
Kill Krusha Tank
Kill Blasta
Cobra
Scorpion
Lynx with Pulsar (but not with Sonic Lance)
Tiger Shark (Escalation version)
Orca Dropship
Barbed Hierodule
Logan Grimnar
So yeah, no Rev titans or trannyc'tans... not happening... we tried that once... it wasn't good.
Sports
Sportsmanship will be handled as a simple thumbs-up, thumbs-down check box on the results sheet.
The temptation to ding someone on sports after a tough loss is often too much for many players to resist. We therefore are providing a very narrowly defined set of terms under which a player may mark their opponent with a thumbs down mark on sportsmanship. This system is intended to punish those who are being abusive, but to not allow chimpmunking.
Legitimate reasons to give an opponent a thumbs down on sports:
Your opponent was 15 or more minutes late to the round.
Your opponent was verbally abusive. This does not mean you argued with your opponent or that your personalities clashed, but that they were verbally abusive and insulting.
Your opponent intentionally cheated. Be prepared to support your case to a judge.
Your opponent slow played. We define slow playing as not completing 3 game turns of play. In the case of 20 or less minutes left to play, divide the time remaining between players to complete one full GAME turn. Time each other during this period to ensure that each player has an equal amount of time to complete a full game turn. If one player does not finish within their limit, the other player can force them to stop and then begin their turn. This mechanic is in place to ensure no one is slow played out of a turn of play.
What does NOT constitute a thumbs down on sports?
You argued over rules with your opponent.
Your opponent beat you.
You didn’t like your opponent’s army.
Your opponent thinks the Black Lion never should have been the head of Voltron. The Green Lion was way cooler. NERD RAGE!!!
A negative mark on sportsmanship will be met with administrative action as follows:
First thumbs down: A verbal warning from a judge, up to reversing a win to a loss.
Second thumbs down: Reversing a win to a loss, up to disqualification from any prize support.
Third thumbs down: disqualification from any prize support, up to expulsion from the event with no refund of the ticket price.
