Looking at the rules that are up now, are you using the same missions again? The rules heavily penalized some lists, had no effects on others, and most of us completely forgot the special rules anyway!
Just wondering before I sign up....

I want to try and make this one. How many games do you guys normally get in? Three? Any chance of pick-up games Friday or Sunday?

Oh I'm gonna be there again this year for sure! 1st place this time around! Working on super secret stuff this time... 8)

Dave, I'm planning on being there the day before, maybe even on Thursday evening, so if you want to throw down on the board, I'll be happy to take ya on. Reading all of your battle reports makes me jealous. ;D

I know Matt, you and I tried, but our schedules were mixed up AND you got to eat dinner or lunch with Dan Abnett correct?

I was kinda hoping to get some players together this time and get a big game going or something of that nature. I've got tons of terrain we can use, we just need a board...or two...or three...

I just have to make sure this time around that if Greg Gallant from D6G is going to be there again, to say, "HI" and I want to be on your show...to talk EPIC of coarse.

Already have my ticket! Even if I get my but kicked 3 games in a row it, it's always exciting to get to play new opponents!

I'm also working on some super secret stuff...and by super secret stuff I mean a flask of whiskey and a silly hat. Anyways, I'd appreciate some love for the tyranid list this year...I finally dragged my buddy into the game and he insists on playing them...I'm not sure I'll ever hear the end of it if they aren't a legal army.

I'm dropping the special set-ups, and just having it be straight 3000 point GT play.

I will try to have a list of approved armies up in the next week or so. It won't change much, but if people have suggestions on armies that weren't allowed last year that have been play-tested and balanced, I'm certainly willing to listen to what people want.

There is also some talk of someone running a large narrative Epic game on Thursday or Friday. I don't have any details yet, but if I get any, I'll post them up here.

Will you be allowing EpicUK armies? I have half a mind...

...to bring my Vanaheim, if allowed.

Only half a mind, huh?

;)

I don't know if EpicUK lists would be good to let loose among those on this side of the pond. I'm open to considering it, but I'm concerned about balance between non-Epic UK lists. What about the Elysian list that Moscovan is working on?

I'll look at it again, but last I looked it was too little Air Cav, too much Teleport. Also the Vendettas are worse and cost more, neither of which really makes sense. :/

I've played against it three times, once in it's latest incarnation, and it's a pretty powerful army in the hands of a good player.

Like Space Marines, it doesn't allow for a lot of mistakes, but you're up for a challenge, right?
;D

I got two words..."bring it!"

For that matter, what are the possibilities of seeing AMTL at the tournament?

That sounds fun. I'm up for narrative.
