You know the special rules for 40k? well 8th edition's coming and we all got to step it up guardsmen!
Time to have a tourney like no other... where your basic troopers become amazing...
OKAY SCRATCH THAT....
apparently we're getting a new edition just before this tourney, so let's jump into 8th with a fun intro tourney to the new edition!!!
July 15, 2017 at Kingston Gaming Nexus - 9:30 start - three games - $15
We will be looking at book missions for this first tourney, and spoiler alert, will probably use the three new deployments too
This will be a 2,000 point three round tourney, using the rules/points from matched play.
All armies must be battle forged.
Maximum number of detachments is three, as per the rules under matched play.
Your army must share a FACTION KEYWORD as per the rules of matched play (with the exception allowed for GSC under their special rules which allows them to combine with militarium)
You must have the current legal rules (index) for your army - no PDF pirated scans!
NO PAINTING REQUIREMENT!
UNDERSTRENGTH UNITS -> by permission only... if you don't have enough models because you're just getting into the game we want to make it easy for you to play for sure! If you're attempting to use single models to unlock detachments for extra command points, it ain't happening!

Probably will end up brin ginger my orks. They feel the most ready for 8th if we continue at 2k. Harlies then eldar are getting the 8th treatment after that. Because harlies are now going to break people's souls.

just double checking here the match play has a formation limit at point values, but we are lifting the 3 max foramtions at 2000 pts?

see, that's why I need to post these things... I'm new at this 8th edition T.O. stuff...
yes, it would be 3 max formations, cuz that's a rule.... that I obviously forgot
will also add that you must have the current index for your army.

I hate to open this can of worms, but yes or no on Forge World stuff for this one? Or should we wait until we get the indexes in our hands?
Figure it's better to bring it up now than have it show up without any sort of discussion.

unfortunately we aren't going to know crap until we actually play stuff, and given the forge world indexes aren't even going to ship until Saturday at the earliest, we aren't going to have any of that material in our hands, let alone playtested until a couple of weeks prior to the tourney.
I don't know really what to say either way (do we just at this point trust everything was playtested - even FW?) I mean Reece said that they did playtest forge world as well... so it's all pretty much a leap of faith at this point until the meta gets sorted out over the next six months or so.
given this is our first intro tourney to 8th, I'm inclined to say, if you have the legal printed index you can play it (because who knows how things are going to work out)... but if you read something and go "holy crap this is sooooo broken I'm going to wreck people's day with this" try to show a little restraint k?
