40K Knock-out Tournament

Hey Guys!!

Just to let you know that I will be running a 40K knock-out tournament at the end of June.

I'm looking for at least 16 players, but 24 would be great!

Armies can be taken from any codex, games will be 2,000 pts with a fixed list.

NO units/characters to be taken from other sources i.e Imperial Armour books etc.

Games will be multiple objective missions, probably five. One of the missions as well as being objective-based will also have an additional bonus for killing the primary enemy HQ.

In the event of a draw, victory pts will be used to determine a winner.

There will be NO 'counts as' armies.

Final will be a straight-forward blood & guts Pitched Battle, Annihilate game.

There will be an entry fee, this is to go towards trophies for the winner & the two runners-up.

Please see me or Lee in the club or put your name forward on here if you're up for it.

Thanks.

Just an update on the knockout tourney, if enough people sign up the players will be put into groups, that way even if you lose the 1st game
you still have a chance to go through to the next stage.

Would everybody who's interested please put their name & what army they'll be using asap so I can get things started.

Thanks.

i will be letting the green skins loose for this one. kans ftw

We have our 1st contender! (After me of course!)

Would like to see some more names on here as at the moment it's between me & Matt!

Hey guys!!

Just getting a bit concerned about the lack of names for the tournament, I need to know for sure
who's up for taking part so I can make all of the preperations to get this event going.

Basically I need as many names as possible to be down by the 20th of June otherwise I'll have to cancel it.

Thanks.

i will be running orks and dave will be taking chaos marines.

my guard will happily show up to die in droves for the emperor

i'm up for it

grey knights ftw

Ok, we're getting there, keep the names/armies coming guys!

May seem a daft question, but are you looking at a Saturday's event, or spread out over a couple of gaming nights?

I've sworn off 'competitive' play in general, but I'll happily throw down if I can...and if you need me to...

- Chris.

Hey Chris.

The event's going to be held over a number of weeks, as it'll be like a world cup tourney
with group stages then going onto knockout games.

Was going to ask you, but didn't know if you were able to commit for playing every week.

OK, here's who we've got as confirmed so far:

Jay Blood Angels
Lee Eldar
Matt Space Wolves
Guy Ringham Grey Knights
Max Imperial Guard
Dave Chaos Marines
Chris King Imperial Guard
Mark Povey Grey Knights
James Tregale Space Wolves
Have also got a 'yes' as well from (even though they've not said so on here) from:

Ryan Lamenters
Jason Daemons
James Terrell Blood Angels
Orlando Eldar
Chris Mason Daemons
Jake Daemons
Steve Eldar
Andy Bright Imperial Guard (Resident Evil/Thriller video rejects!)
Ed Matson Chaos Marines
Elliot Dark Eldar
Josh.T Space Marines

Hi, Jay - I just spoke to Wife about it, and I reckon I should be okay for it. I'm away for the week of 18-22nd July, but otherwise I think I can make the nights...

It'd be my poor, wretched old Guard I'd roll out to catch the bullets...

- Chris.

Hey Chris.

That's great! Don't worry about missing a week, the fantasy tourney had gaps while people were away.

Put me down as confirmed as well.

Traitors will happily reap some souls for the chaos gods.

Here's your written confirmation from this Grand Master! Me and my GKs are in.

Cheers Mark! (And all the other recent replies).

Just thought I'd mention about the entry fee, it's going to be £2.00 each.

This is to cover the cost of the trophies & also a extra prize on offer...

Thanks again to all the people who have said 'yes' so far. Would like a few more names just to round it off.

The carnage is coming!!!!

On behalf of josh, I'm posting that he will be playing with goldern marines, basic codex

Already added Josh's name to the list.

It's going to be cool, just got to speak to Ant about kicking all the fantasy guys out of the main room for a while...

Sorry Jay

Life looks like its going to come and bite me. Work wants me to do a few Thurs evenings through Jul and as yet cannot confirm timings. So I think I had better withdraw, here's hoping you all have good games though.

Mark

That's a bit rubbish!

Work must come first as always, we can all get more figures whenever we want but a job's a little more tricky...

Will have to arrange a game when the dust settles, plus I owe your Slaaneshi Ladyboys a pounding!

FENRYS HJOLDA!

For Fenris!
For Russ!
For the Allfather!
