All right, I’ll try and set something up.
Here are the rules.
Each person will play in 4 games with a random opponent. Hopefully we will have more than 4 people interested so we don’t play the same person twice…
Each game will have a time limit of 2 hours. You will have 15 minutes before each game to set up.
Each game played will be one of 6 pre generated scenarios.
Army lists point total can not exceed 1750 and must use the standard force organization chart. All current edition codex and Chapter Approved lists are acceptable. If you have a list you are not sure of, just ask. Since I will be participating and can not check army lists, PLEASE make sure they are valid and totaled correctly!
No allies or detachments will be used.
Because Sean whined to me enough, special characters will be allowed, but must follow the requirements for taking them.
Please bring a printed copy of your army list.
Judge’s call on a rule is final whether he is right or wrong.
Scoring is as follows:
Draw = 2 pt
Solid Victory = 4 pts
Crushing Victory = 6 pts
Victorious Slaughter = 10 pts
You will receive a one time bonus point for being 10 pts or more below the point limit.
You will receive a one time bonus point for each force organization branch, besides troops, not maxed out. So there is a possibility of 4 here.
You will recieve a one time bonus point for having atleast 40% of your point total in the troop catagory.
I think I got everyting.
Give a holler if you're in. I know we have me, Sean, Ryan, and Caleb atleast.

If you get the guys, I can give you a ride. Frick'n eh I will start painting my ass of for the tourny in march I will try to play some pick up games with 40k so i am not rusty again.....after playing my last two games I realized how rusty I am which sucks I used to be in tournys all the time and placed almost everyone(not rogue trader sanctioned all based on sportsmanship and vic.) I like the idea for you tourny based games wish i could be in them but I have been dieing to play a map based campaign. I might start bringing my 40k along with my fantasy if it turns out I am doing little during the campaign at times. |

Hi all!
I'm the guy that will be running the Hobbytown tournaments. I'm glad to see all the enthusiasm!
I'll follow this post with rules for each tourney.
First, I'd like to congratulate you all on doing something many people talked about for years: organizing!
As for the drive, it will take no less than 45-50 minutes from NIU's campus to get here. I made the trek three times a week for two years.
I saw some threads suggesting a run-up tournament; this is an excellent idea! Each round for both tournaments will be only two hours! This comes out to 20 minutes a round, be warned!
We will be using three scenarios from the 2006 RTT scenarios for the appropriate systems. PDF copies are available from the GW website, events section.
Don't hesitate to e-mail me with questions, or call Hobbytown @ (815)282-0727, ask for Mike.

Hobbytown USA Warhammer 40K Gladiator Tournament

BASIC RULES
· 2000 points using a standard force organization chart
· All models must be ForgeWorld, Citadel, Maurader, Armorcast, and/or GW.

· Dreadclaws follow the rules of Drop Pods as detailed on page 152 of Imperial Armour Volume 2.
A WORD ABOUT GLADIATOR TOURNAMENTS
A Gladiator tournament is a no-holds-barred tournament where the only positive points are battle points earned on the tabletop. No one will score your painting, no one will care what you field and the numbers you do. The objective is to win the game and complete as many objectives as you can. That being said, you must have a painted army or you will lose points. You must use the same models that you would normally be allowed to use in Grand Tournaments. You also must conduct yourself in an appropriate manner or you will also lose points. Most Gladiators are won with undefeated scores or if not, then with only 1 point missing. In this sense, you cannot afford to lose any points.
This is your opportunity to make the biggest and baddest beatstick army you have ever dreamed of and play it in a tournament. Only a skilled General using a well balanced force will have the resources available to accomplish all of their objectives and claim the title of Gladiator Champion.
GLADIATOR SCORING (Updated 01.03.05)
· All models must be painted and based appropriately with at least 3 colors. If even one model is not painted and based appropriately, you will lose 2 points per round. Otherwise you get a zero for painting each round.
· Sportsmanship is judged for each game by the roaming judges of the Gladiator. If the roaming judges see acts they deem unsportsmanlike, they will note it and you will lose 1 point for each infraction. Otherwise, you will get a zero for sportsmanship each round.
· If the typed army list you turn in to the judge is found to be wrong, you will lose 5 points. Since all lists can not be checked immediately, if we find your list is wrong during the tournament, you will lose the 5 points and also forfeit any games you had played (and their respective battle points) up until that time.

Post by Andrew on Feb 8, 2006 11:50:08 GMT -6
He means his list isn't "broken", meaning it's not the cheesiest army ever. Thus he will probably not win against armies such as the Iron Warriors, with 3 ordnance and 9 obliterators. Sure he could get objectives, but not if his army is wiped off the board.

Well I do that is what I normally go against and that is what my tactics are geared towards. I mean I'm still interested in the 40k and fantasy I just need to base my fantasy and paint like 1400pts for 40k and I will be all good ;D

You know to be only fair pts wise my shooting is less than 40% of my army composition  . Warriors are only good for one thing shotting their dark lances!!!!!!!!!! :DThis is where i say "DARK LANCES HOO!!!!!!" ;D Oh and as you could see loung I really only got glancing hits on you i mean still effective  but only glances. All you really need is to probably take out the Baal(how ever you spell it) and put like 2 dreadnaughts in its place maybe drope the termies(but I do like them) and you would have an equally "cheesie" army. God do I hate dreadnaughts. My brother has used 4 against me at once damn I hate space wolves equally..... |

Well, I'd only be able to get 1 in if I take out my Baal. I do plan on getting one, but against you, I would have been better having no tanks and 3 more tactical squads and having all 6 of them with heavy bolters.
