ArmouredWing Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Well folks, I've just had it confirmed that I've got a ticket for the Autumn UK GT. With that being the case I'm going to be back into training mode with my sisters and the possibility of changing things around a little. Just wondering if there's any other OI forum members who are going to compete this year and if so what you thinking of taking?

ArmouredWing Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'll be taking my sisters, wanted to use them for ages!!Welcome to the fold Sgt. Looking forward to seeing how things progress with your playtesting/lists. Don't know how much you've used your sisters in anger but if you've got any questions or want some feedback drop it into the OI forum, we're always up for assisting a new fellow inquisitor. :D i shall be sitting at home on the 20/21st november... never mind at least ill see your ladies at kthulu if you and the lads are still going?Have to say GC08 I'm a bit gutted for you and Idaho. Was looking forward to seeing the 10th coming out fighting for the ToS, maybe the spring campaign eh? I'm still well up for the tournie in Sept, had a word with the other 1st Mercian guys as well and hopefully it will be more than just myself. Storm Bringer is definitely interested but he's got to see how things go with his better half (it's their anniversary that week). It should be noted though that his Nids will be shelved for competative play this year in favour of his new traitorous chapter, the 'Dread Wolves'. So, watch this space...

Judanas Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm an Aussie. There are just not enough things around here to go to. Might go to Gencon here though, when it's on. Yeah, if there were any interesting Tournements around here I'd be on them like...insert analogy here...However there has only been one recently and even that was just 'Let's have a spearhead day!' For the record, Tank hunter Exorcists are WONDEROUS. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206238-the-road-to-tos/#findComment-2460499 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing as big as a UK GT but there are still big events here in Aus with 100+ players.

Brovius Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Kalgoorlie here. We have small tourneys at our LGS with only 8-10 players. Metagame consists of 1IG, 2BAs, 1 BT, 1SM, 1SW, 1CSM, 1Tau, 2 Tyranids (I'm one of those players) and 1GK (which, once again, is me) Fighting Marines is boring. It would be great to be in a big tourney with more than 4 armies outside of power armour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206238-the-road-to-tos/#findComment-2461058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltnot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yep, you're as blind as a bat. WargamerAU Go there and go to the forums, scroll down and go to the QLD tournaments section. You can find info about upcoming Brisbane tournaments (and some regional ones as well) there. Tournaments coming up: Quarter Master III 60 players 7-8 August - already full though. Gencon - September Orktoberfest - 40k/Fantasy, Last weekend of October - usually around 60-70 40k players in attendance. Quarter Master IV - Sometime later this year, probably November or December. Remaining regional events this year include (most of them have already been run): Madgrot Mackay - About 30 players - November There's an independently run tournament in Brisbane about every month or two, with anywhere from 30 players to 60. I haven't been to Gencon before so I can't comment on how good it will be. I went to Quarter Master I earlier this year and it was a great event. I'm going to QMIII and hope to make it down again for QMIV. I also hope to attend Orktoberfest again like I have the past two years. As an aside, it is currently unlikely that there will be any ToS format tournaments run here in Aus. There is already a strong tourney scene run by independent groups who generally do as good a job if not better then what GW was capable of. Kalgoorlie here. My condolences, you're more in the middle of nowhere then I am (Rockhampton).

Captain Idaho Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Its quite possible that I have secured a ticket, as a very nice gentleman on Warseer may have bought 2 by mistake, and is willing to sell me the spare! All it costs is my immortal soul - what a bargain! @ greatcrusade08: I reccommend putting some requests out there on the web for spare tickets, possibly Warseer. Last year I managed to secure a ticket last minute by ringing GW a month before, but google searching Throne of Skulls ticket for sale revealed several sites where people couldn't go and sold the their ticket. @ ArmouredWing: Be cool to see you at kthulu and hopefully some of the others too :woot: Well folks, I've just had it confirmed that I've got a ticket for the Autumn UK GT. With that being the case I'm going to be back into training mode with my sisters and the possibility of changing things around a little Training mode eh. Well I think you have a good gaming group that you will do fine. But remember the armies you fought last year and what you needed against them. I think 2 Exocists and 3 Pentient Engines would be useful, seeing as then you get the firepower to challenge Falcons and the like and the combat potential, plus the increased armoured targets. Who can afford to ignore those Engines?! I can't remember your list exactly, I think you had a wedge of Rhinos didn't you?

I've got the 4 big squads of footslogging sisters, 3 exos and my HQ in the immolator. Thinking of tinkering around with the exorcists, perhaps dropping 1 and putting the points elsewhere... however, 3 exorcists rule the table when they roll good for number of shots. As much as I'd like to run PE's I find the biggest problem is having to shoehorn a priest into my list somewhere. Thing is it goes against my playstyle, I like the fact I can stand off a target and hit it with bolterfire up to 24". Throw a priest in and you change the dynamic of the unit and as mine currently all assist each other it would present a problem overall. hmmmm....

Captain Idaho Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Oops. I was half right at least! Oh right I didn't realise you had to have a silly Priest in the list :( Well stick to the 3 Exorcists then :lol: besides, 3D6 S8 AP1 shots at 48" is a great equaliser!

No mate, have recovered them as best I can. Currently adding to them some decals to make them proper Ultramarines, and creating an awesome new army list that will sweep all before it! (hopefully) How have you been mate? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206238-the-road-to-tos/#findComment-2462582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt campbell Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'm good mate just moved even further down south to tidworth and I'm getting married at the end of the month, so busy time at the moment. How's the baby?? What's your list looking like?? If you get a ticket, you up for a catch up pint and a game??

Captain Idaho Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm good mate just moved even further down south to tidworth and I'm getting married at the end of the month Wow, congratulations mate! I guess we are all getting old and settling down! Tidworth eh? I'm in Andover which is only a short hop away! If you fancy a game some time let a brother know and we can arrange something. Is it permanent or are you just stationed there for a while? Baby is good mate, getting to be a big boy now, running me ragged! I literally just finished repairing the Flamer Marine I was painting that he got hold of!

Haven't really got a club, as the nearest clubs are in Basingstoke, and though one of them is ran by a friend, it is open the nights I'm boxing. There is another so will get the contact details and see what I can do. But we best not discuss that here, lest we derail the thread and are purged by a vengeful ArmouredWing...
