Keeping on the gaming

 

After seeing the enthusiasm generated by the last tournament I’ve been thinking about sponsoring another one this year, mostly to incentivize the new players, and since I found the original prize for the last tournament plus some few other things I want to hear if you would like it , if yes what ideas would you do like to add to have a new and improved tournament.

Here are my ideas so far

this round maybe for a nominal fee so we can purchase some things from pactare to include as prizes.

I would like to use stratagems and spearhead rules, what do you think?

we can have one tournament with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place or 2 tournament with prize for the first prize in each.

 

in the event of 2 tournaments we can go for a lower nominal fee in each or a higher one for a better prize in the second round.

 

those are my current musings, what would you put on the table.

A Little fun with objective markers

 

I’ve been playing with the hardcover rulebook since it got into my hands. So I found that lovely picture of an objective marker I had to do with a twist, so after doing it I came with the need foe additional markers, now I have one for each army plus an Ork ambush marker.

Musings for the new tournament rules

Here I will start to compile new rules for the tournament, the ideas are general  but It will lead me to the final rules that will integrate into a campaign for the supremacy on pl3-40:

First the obvious, I want to create a map to  keep track of all the gains

as we increment the points value the result of the battles will give you benefits or eliminate disadvantages.

I will use some stratagems like terrain features that will be revealed after deployment that will grant a boom or a blast and you wont know until is too late.

in brief I want to have a rich colored campaign that goes along the tournaments. so lets see how it goes.

How do you read your codex?

I just got my hands on my copy of the Necron Codex, and from the experience of reading I realized that my pattern to read codices, First I read the story, then I view the minis and lastly I read the rules.  After realizing that I wondered how others do it and wanted to ask, with that in mind I ask you in the pool what you do first. You know I'm an inquisitive guy. ok lets see your answers..

Initial clashes at PL3-40

My revered master I bring you dire news…
we received reports from  different patrols that on 20120218  some forces  converged at pl3-40 a recently rediscovered planet with valuable resources and at the same time very apt to sustain life, so apt that when the first Space marine landed they found a recently hatched menace from the Tyranids, since no further reports where received a nearby Ultramarine frigate let an small patrol drop on different coordinates soon after that news of heavy fighting against Orks reached the frigate so a new temporary base was setup, while the base was being set up, reports of two more frigates came in one from the blood angels and the other from another chapter that didn’t broadcasted its Id codes, since the first concern was to protect the base from a tyranid infestation the reports wasn’t followed trough, only time will tell if that was a wise decision but already the astropath is warning of dire consequences because of that.
from radio chatter received it has been gleaned that the Blood Angels encountered some kind of alien menace not related to the Tyranids, but little of who was heard, so far the Ultramarine base is setting a nice base to protect the incoming colonizers that the adeptus administratum should be getting ready to send any year now.
So far everything is calm but we suspect that is but the prelude to something more sinister, we already hear that some vile eldar are in the vicinity of the system, and my fears are that as soon as we can send on obit skull probe we might find evidence of more forces preparing to make a stand on that planet, we hope to have an elaborated map for the next meting my lord.
No I depart until that fateful time comes my liege.
