[zedsdead]

The Battle for Salvation Gaming Group would like to proudly announce that we are now accepting registrations for those who would like to attend the 3rd annual Battle for Salvation Grand Tournament!

For a 3rd time we will be hosting our 2000 point Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament on Columbus day weekend.

www.battleforsalvation.com/

Winners will earn spots to the 2013 NOVA Open Invitational!

We have not only increased the substantial prize support, but also the size and scope of the event itself. With our venue at the Palisades Mall we are able to accommodate a much larger number of players, with a minimum of 64 to start. In addition to the Grand Tournament, we will be hosting a 3-4 game 40k Skirmish Tournament hosted by Fritz (of Fritz40k) on Friday (see the player packets for more details).

Our Grand Tournament will feature 6 games over 2 days. Players will be sorted into 8-man brackets at the end of Saturday based on performance. Players will then battle for supremacy in their respective brackets on Sunday, with all players guaranteed 3 games (no more single elimination). Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each bracket and the winner of the top bracket will be crowned Tournament Champion.

In order to register please navigate to the Registration part of the site or click here: www.battleforsalvation.com/registration-2/ . A big thank you to everyone for helping make the Battle for Salvation one of the premier Warhammer 40K Tournaments!

Because everyone will ask (or wonder anyway)

2000 points, 6 games 40k.

3 color minimum required.

Prizes for winning the tournament (going 6-0), best painting, and best combined painting and record.

Tournament will be like nova, where you either win a round or lose a round to advance to the next round.

Ed is this going to be true 2K per the rules or are you going with the 1999 and its okay to go over by a point to prevent the two FOC issue at 2K?

Joe, you sean anyone else going to NOVA ?

[fishboy]

To my Knowledge I am the only one heading to NOVA. I am bringing my new DE army that will perform like poop due to the 6th changes hehe. I am getting in on Thursday night so lets try to hook up for dinner.

[fishboy]

Anyone else planning on going to this one? It would be great to save money on hotel and such hehe.

[zedsdead]

just an update

[zedsdead]

a dozen spots left open. 2 weeks out

[fishboy]

Have my room and my entry. Too bad I cant get anyone else interested.

Our very own Joe Johnson got his best army award at BFS.

Best Conversion

Honorable mention: Joe Johnson (Grotesque)

Best Miniature
Winner: Keith Girard (Ork Warboss on bike)
Honorable mentions: Joe Johnson (Homunculus)

Best Army
Winner: Joe Johnson (Dark Eldar)

So Joe, how about joining the rest of us "average" painters at our October events. We even opened up a painting award at the lock-in just for you.

but seriously, congrats man.

[hyv3mynd]

No kidding. He also made it to the bronze bracket with some pretty serious players.

Good job man.

[fishboy]

Getting into the Bronze bracket with the DE was very hard and that alone made me feel like I accomplished something. In the bracket rounds I faced 2 FMC heavy lists with Demons and flamers that I just could do nothing with at all. I am seriously thinking of copying the lists as they were that good hehe.

Ed ran a great tourny. Ragnar won Ren Man which I think really suprised him.

I advertised the heck out of DaBoyz and think I convinced a few guys to come. I had to offer Kevin up as a play thing for them though so thanks for contributing Kevin hehe.

[zedsdead]

hey Joe thank for coming bud... its great hanging out with you like usual ! The army was beautiful and you really deserved the prize. Great to see you compete in that bronze bracket as well. Hope we get together soon
