Xeno Turkey Tourney - Prizes!

The Xeno Turkey Hunter Tourney is only a couple of days away. That means we need to get the prizes in place. That would be gift cards to Game Kastle for the top 3 winners. We have a $20 card for the best general, $15 for second place, and $10 for the third best army. That doesn't mean that the others who play aren't going to get something.

From my wife's recommendation, we're going to host a BBQ, post tourney. Yep, free food for the other gamers before the winners get to eat. If we get ambitious, my crafty wife is willing to make T-shirts. The question is what image should be created? Do people want an alien colored (read green or red) turkey in crosshairs, or a robo-turkey (ala Adeptus Turkeicus)?

Green Armored Marines Tournament List

So to keep things rolling, I'm going to put up the list that I am currently planning on bringing to our speed bash.

HQ: Chaplain, Jump Pack

Troops: 10 man tactical, flamer, multi-melta, rhino, powerfist on sergeant

Troops: 10 man tactical, flamer, missile launcher, razorback, powerfist on sergeant

Fast Attack: 2 Attack bikes, multi-melta x2

Fast Attack: 10 man assualt squad, flamer x2, powerfist on sergeant

HS: 1 Predator, Autocannon, Heavy Bolter sponsoons

My biggest concern is that it's a lot of models for a 1 hour game. Everything is mobile though so it should be plenty of fun.

Xeno Turkey Hunter Tourney

Hi All,

Here are the scenarios I'd like to post for the group to use at the tourney. It's the 2009 Adepticon scenarios: <http://www.adepticon.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=25>

AdeptiCon 2009 Warhammer 40K Championships/Invitational Scenarios

It's been used and tested.

Any comments or recommendations?

Mini Tourney Army Build

For the Xeno Turkey Hunters Tourney, I believe I'm going to run a true Grey Knight list. I'll either proxy the figures, or get my butt in gear to build it. It's not too many miniatures because of the expensive list, but it will allow me to complete the rounds quickly while bringing a respectable amount of firepower. Which list should I run?

1000pts Grey Knight List 1:
HQ
Brother-Captain Hero w/Psycannon
4 Grey Knight Terminators w/a Psycannon
300pts

Troops
GK Squad 1
Justicar w/4 GK Power Armor
150pts

GK Squad 2
Justicar w/4 GK Power Armor
150pts

GK Squad 3
Justicar w/4 GK Power Armor
150pts

Heavy Support
Land Raider
250pts

998pts GK List 2:
HQ: Same as above (300pts)

Troops
GK1: Justicar w/5 GKPA with 1 Psycannon (200pts)
GK2: Justicar w/5 GKPA with 1 Psycannon (200pts)
GK3: Same as above (150pts)

Heavy Support
Dreadnought w/Twin-linked Lascannons, Missile Launcher, Extra Armor, Smoke Launchers
148pts

Next Game

Hi All,

So July is here, and we need to find a day to play. What's the recommendation from everyone?

Update:
Well, it's the end of July, and we still haven't nailed down a day. So the recommendation will be Aug 15 (Saturday), with a game of WH Fantasy Battle. Who wants to play?

Update #2:
Looks like Aug 15th is a bad day to get everyone together. Email voting is pushing for Aug 9th for our gaming. Still waiting on a couple of responses to close out the voting.

Preliminary Rogue Warrior rules

All,

Due to copious amounts of free time this week, I've merged Dave's initial cut at the RW ruleset with Ron's skirmish rules, plus some additions of my own. It can be found here:
Basic RW rules.

Less complete are:
Fireteam rules.
Campaign rules.

The docs, as stored on GD, have comments as to who contributed what, but it didn't translate to the published Web versions. I'll see if I can otherwise label the text this weekend.

Post here or email me if you have comments.
