Running GAGG 2014 is almost here!
This year we will be hosting a Bring and Battle event where players will be teamed up and take part in a massive narrative battle. Read below for full details.
When:
Saturday, February 1st at Running GAGG game convention held at SUNY Geneseo.
Time:
Registration starts at 9:00am
Event Starts at 10:00am and runs until 5:30 P.M.
Cost:
$10 Event Fee (This covers the Running GAGG entry fee and the 40k event fee)
Format:
• The format for this event is not the typical 1 vs. 1 tournament. Instead, the format will involve 2-4 players on a team facing off against 2-4 other players on larger than normal tables covered with cool terrain. The number of players in attendance will determine the number of teams and the size of the tables which will be set up.
• The goal is a day filled with fun, blowing stuff up, and laughing about it with your friends!
• Teams will be determined based on the armies brought to make this a narrative driven event.
• Teams will be given 30 minutes to discuss and determine their table placement. Deployment will commence at 10:30am and game play to start around 11:00am
• Although we will play a scenario from the Escalation book, rounds will not be timed. We want to make this a day-long event where players and teams will fight for bragging rights and prizes.
• Prizes for the event will be given for a variety of accomplishments, so everybody has a chance to win something throughout the day.
• Fully painted armies are strongly encouraged. There will be a painting contest and trophies will be given for best army and best model which will be voted on by the players in attendance.
• Traditional prizes (with amounts determined by number of players) will be awarded for table MVPs (as determined by each table) and overall Head Hunter (the player who kills the most HQs throughout the day)
• A Darwin award will be given to the player that goes out first, or the player with the fewest surviving points at the end of the day.
• Smaller, but cool prizes like dice cubes, models, flock tubs, DaBoyz objective markers, templates, etc... will be distributed throughout the day to players who fulfill secret objectives (like killing an enemy Lord of War) or claiming a particular landmark.
Bring a 2500 point 40k army list
• Double Force Org is allowed
• Allies are allowed
• All new Supplements, Codices, and data slates are allowed
• Forgeworld units are allowed (just no 30k troop formations or Primarchs. This means tanks, dreadnoughts, vehicles, etc... are allowed)
• Units and rules from the Stronghold and Escalation books will be allowed as will units on the Forge World Lords of War choices for Warhammer 40,000 Escalation list (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/L/lordsofwar.pdf.)
• All such units will be 0-1 choices (i.e. your army may include 1 Lord of War choice and/or 1 Stronghold choice regardless of whether or not you used a double force org).
Rules Restrictions and FAQs (note, if warranted, these may be updated prior to the event)
• D-weapons will be treated as Strength 10, Ap 1, ignores cover.
• All weapons using the 10” Apocalypse blast templates in their profiles will use the 7” templates instead and all weapons that use the 7" templates in their profiles will use the 5" templates instead. Weapons using Hellstorm templates in their profiles will be treated as twin-linked torrent weapons using normal flame templates instead.
• Chaos Daemons Warp Storm:
Any warp storm results that would normally affect all enemy units on the table instead will only affect 1 enemy faction, chosen by the Daemon player.
• Armies on the same team are considered Battle Brothers for this event.
If you are considering coming to this event, please post here on the forum so that the event organizers, Kevin Gricius and Paul Pacheco, can get a preliminary idea of how many players might show up.
