Anyone planning on going to this? Its another 6 hour drive but a good chance to advertise for DaBoyz GT. I am considering this as Mike is a great guy and I can't wait to play in one of his events!!
St. Valentines Day Massacre 40k GT
When: Feb. 26th and 27th at Showcase Comics in Media, PA. (Philadelphia)

Hosted by: Showcase Comics and the BigGunZ-NE gaming club

Registration: You can register online at www.BigGunZ-NE.com or in person at Showcase Comics. Registration will go live on Dec. 1st
Hotel info at: www.qualityinn.com/hotel-media-pennsylvania-PA560
Ask for the ‘Granite Run Mall Room Rate’ and it should by 75.00 a night.
Check in at 9am on Saturday, pairings set up at 10am, and game 1 starts at 10:30am. If for any reason you are late, it's up to you to call and let us know.
The tournament is held in a separate area from the main store. We have converted another storefront in the mall to a private gaming bunker, with permanent tables, large amounts of scenery, and good AC.
We’ll be putting out Free Lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Menu subject to what I feel like cooking. At Border Raids it was sausage gumbo and slow smoked teriyaki chicken, might do ribs this time, or it might be Blacksquig’s surprise.
Format: 3 games on Saturday, and 2 games on Sunday
1850 pt army lists from current codices. 2.5 hours per game.
All models must be completely painted using a minimum of 3 colors, and bases must be finished. Unfinished models may not be used. 3 dots of paint on the base doesn’t meet the requirement, nor does having paint on only one part of the model. If you’re unsure about whether your models have enough work on them, you should contact the TO. Or go paint some more.
All models should be WYSIWYG. Exceptions can be made at the TO’s discetion. Obviously, people are going to have some cool conversions that bend wysiwyg, and generally I’m ok with that. If you have a question, contact the TO. Proxies and ‘counts as’ are not allowed, unless with express permission from the TO. A Sherman tank isn’t a predator, Chaos Marines are not Space Wolves, drink cups are not drop pods, and bloodletters on big rocks are not bloodcrushers. (Pink orks however, are perfectly acceptable, as they are as orky as the other boyz, just with more fashion sense.) If you’re not sure what the difference is between a conversion and a proxy, contact the TO. Pictures help.
You must turn in your army list at the start of the tournament, and have copies available for your opponents. This is an open list tournament. Lists should be legible and complete, listing all options taken and breaking out the points that you paid for them. Please, Please! Make your copies and print out your lists ahead of time. IT IS THE PLAYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THEIR LIST IS CORRECT. If you are found to be playing with an illegal list, the TO reserves the discretion to adjust the scores in your matches, or make you leave the tournament, and forfeit remaining games. Army builder is a big help here, both for you knowing your list is correct, and your opponent and the TO being able to read your list.
Collusion is not allowed. Players may not agree to a draw or other outcome in a game. All games must be played out to their conclusion. Forfeiting is highly discouraged. Make your opponent earn his points. If a Player forfeits and removes his models from the table, his opponent should just take his turns to finish the game. Do not assume you will be able to achieve all objectives.
Players should bring their own rulebook and codex, relevant FAQ’s, army lists, dice, tape measure, templates, and anything else they need to play the game.
Players will be randomly paired for the first round, with an attempt to not have club mates play each other. Further rounds will have the players with high scores matched against other high scoring players. Scoring is a max of 120 Battle Points, and max of40 points for Painting.
There is no sports score. This does not mean you get a free pass to behave badly.
There is no composition score.
Prizes will be given out the top 3 people in each catagory of Best General (battle points), Painting, and Overall (Battle + Painting). The Best General and Best Overall will receive invitations to the Throne of Skulls event in Las Vegas. If they have already received invites, then we move down to the next person in line. We’ll be giving out trophies and prizes from Forge World, GW, GF9, and Battle Foam.
Each game will have objectives worth 24 pts. In most cases these will be mutually exclusive where it is not possible for both players to meet the requirements for an objective.
Painting will be a checklist. The checklist will be posted ahead of time. It includes points for basic painting skill, blending, highlighting, fine details, conversions, basing, model preparation, cohesive paint scheme or style, and display boards.
Missions: Each mission will be very similar to missions from the basic rulebook, using objectives, kill points, victory points for primary and secondary objectives, and the three basic deployments. There may be special rules for a mission that effect the game. Missions will be posted ahead of time. Based on player input, missions may be adjusted
