A 2,000pt Non-Comp Tourney an hour from Sydney at the end of the month? NO WAY!!! :D

So Kirby and Co in Australia, you've been in the normal boat of comp sucks we NEED a tournament that allows us to play strong lists against other strong lists in a solid tournament setting where painting and sports are non-existant (you'll have fun and still be polite anyways, but sports won't have an effect on overall battle points). So here's your chance (and mine assuming I haven't been pre-booked lol).

Lonestar on wargamerau, a Comp Tourney Veteran who has won tournaments in NSW and Aus with soft armies such as Grey Knights and a high Comp Score army is runninga tournament on Sunday the 29th August (several weeks off) down at Woollongong an hours drive from Sydney. The basic scoring is as follows:

The format is 3 games, played over the day.

Each game will be scored as follows....

Battle Point Breakdown.

Loss - 5
Draw - 15
Win - 25

Bonuses.

+2 Most expensive Enemy HQ slain.
+2 Most expensive Enemy Unit (not HQ) slain.
+1 One or more scoring unit(2) in Enemy Deployment Zone.
+1 No enemy units (any units) in your Deployment Zone.
+3 Killed 80% or more of the enemy models.
+3 Control ALL the objectives.
+5 Wiped out your opponent by the end of round 3.
+1 Control any 3 table quarters.
+1 Least expensive Enemy HQ slain.
+1 Your most expensive HQ survives battle.
+1 Your most expensive Unit (not HQ) survives battle.
+2 You destroy all enemy scoring units
+1 Kill all enemies Heavy units.
+1 Destroy all the enemies Elte units.

Up to +25 bonus points can be earn't per battle. Some a eazy to achieve, others (like being tabled in turn 3) are almost impossible to achieve, to reward players who go hard!

For a total of 50 battle points per game....

And a final total of 150 battle points to be earnt over the day!!!

Rock on up with a WYSIWYG army and bam, that's about it, barring the mere $20 entry fee, which is pretty decent.

Now, the thread can be seen here:


If you're an aussie and aren't on wargamerau, join up and lurk. Whilst the majority of players there deride sites such as YTTH, there are quite a few that don't and it does give you a means of accessing all the local tournaments including the occasional non-comp one.

Now, for myself, assuming I can find the models to borrow or convert up the las/plas razor turrets I need, I'll runa version of my Razor Wolves with Bjorn the Fell Handed and Inquisitor Lord and Callidus Assassin. Most amusing list, does alot of damage and fairly solid. Kirby, I'd LOVE to see The Blood Rodeo turn up and see you put your money where your mouth is and show everyone how it's done. In any case, this thread is here to discuss the tournament, whether you can make it and if so what lits you'd be considering, so have at it guys and girls, come along and play a tournament which you lot will be in your element for. :)

All the best,

Auretious Taak.

P.S. Last week, Game 3 of Humans Vs Zombies at ANU (12am Monday Mornming till 1pm'ish Saturday afternoon for the game), I was the 2nd or 3rd last Human to get killed, stunning a dozen zombies on the bridge of our forced last stand after everyone else was dead (2 people made a sprinting break to our objective and died 4 minutes after they made the break lol), winning the Best Human award for the game (3 games so far thus 3 Bet Humans of which I'm one Oh Yeah!) and my squad winning the Best Squad Style award to boot. HvZ is a massive week long game of moderated Tag which I am hoping to have approved to set up at Macquarie University from Semester 1, 2011. The Game 3 ANU Summary Video is below and I'm the tall bearded guy in the centre of the nerf balls and also galloping in nef jousting lol:


Have an awesome day everyone. :)
