Boldo's Christmas 40k league

[boldo]

I do not mind if you play unpainted and as painting only counts once it will not be such a big deal.

I do not htink transports should count as options.

December 15: 1600pts no more than 150pts of unit options, upgrades, or wargear.

Would this include weapons options on a vehicle or dreadnought?

[Wolf Lord Snorville]

Along with that, there is the question:

With only 3 non-troop choices available, is the normal compulsory HQ choice not compulsory in this first weeks list?

Just curious if we get to choose all 3 of our non troop choices this week or if we still need to take the compulsory HQ like in the standard force organization chart.

Edit: Standard Force Organization is in effect.

Thanks to those whoe showed up and played this week.

Next week: 1600 points, only 150 points in unit upgrades and options is allowed.

I believe there is a concession towards armies (tyranids is a good example) with units that are completely unplayable without some sort of options. In those cases, The minimum cost options that make the unit playable is being exempted from that total.

There are exceptions to this. for example, Long Fangs, which emulate a devastator squad should not benefit from this option discount when a devastator squad would not.

Good luck constructing army lists for the next week. I though I went option light this week and still had over 200 points of options in my army. Should be a challenging week... Don't count on anybody bringing a predator annihilator next week (ouch options)

[Soleman]

Couldn't make it last night. Won't be able to make it next week either, but perhaps the following week? I don't know if it's worth it going in 2 weeks down though.

Good, that answers my question about the dreadnought since you have to buy it a weapon.

Thanks for checking into all this Orville. And thanks Boldo for running it. I had a good first round against Tommy's Tau (Draw, random game length ended the game on turn 5 and we each had one kill point).

[Timbo]

I was there yesterday with the Dark Eldar, and had a ton of fun. For the next two weeks I won't be able to make it until 7:30 or so, would somebody be cool with waiting around to play me?

[jdubb]

Anyone planning on being there early today - save 5:45 ish? I'd like to try to get 2 games in this week. LMK.

[Wolf Lord Snorville]

I can try and be there by 5:45 today... that is if you want to face the space wolves tonight.

Doesn't seem to look like anyone else is showing up early tonight.

[jdubb]

yeah, wolves would be fun to face. I'll be there by 6:00 at the latest.

Here are the dates and the restrictions for the Holiday league

December 22: 1650 pts No duplicates from HQ, Heavy, elite or Fast attack until you have one choice from each.

Would Spawn, which count as Fast Attack but don't take a slot in the force org count as a Fast Attack choice for this league requirement? In other words, if I has a Chaos Spawn and 1 each of HQ, Elite, and Heavy, would I be free to take a second one of the other categories?

[Catachan Colonel]

I would have to say probably not, the intent is to make you use a force org slot on each fast, heavy and elite before a duplicate. Spawn dont use the slot so should not count.

By the same logic spawn dont take a force org slot so take as many duplicates as you want of them because tecncally you have no fast attack choices.

[Timbo]

Hey folks, I won't be able to make it until around 7:30 again this week. If somebody would be willing to start a bit later, I'd appreciate it.

[jdubb]

I can wait and come down at 7:30 to play you if you want.
