Dono1979 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Soooo, I might have opened a can of worms, but there has been a flurry of messages and suggestions offline from a few people I know around the world asking if we can discuss this at a 'global' level. This style of event has been thrown around a couple of times in various 30K forums, but to my knowledge, hasnt been run as yet. I've decided that I am going to give it a go next year with the support of Kromlech. Originally I was going to run this as a local event in Canberra and then a couple of people asked if it would be possible to run linked events in other cities in Australia and now more people have expressed interest in running linked events overseas. The basic premis of the event is based around a war similar to the Ullanor Crusade; LOTS of Orks versus the Imperium. The initial plans are to run this event in Canberra under the 30K ruleset, however I would be keen to see whether there are other locations who are interested in running linked events on the same weekend with the results combined to determine the overall results. While the event will have a very strong narrative element and the players will be in very clearly defined teams, I also want to try and encourage internal competiveness as well to reflect the Ork tribes vying for the most kills and Legion fighting for the most battle honours etc. Still a lot of work in planning but I wanted to try and get an indication of interested players, both here in Canberra and in other locations as well, simply your name, location and allegience (Ork or Imperium). With the original event proposal being local in Canberra, I will need to contact Kromlech again and see if they are still interested/capable of supporting something which could go global, however if they are on board and there is the interest then I am thinking that we could try and run this thing in a similar fashion to the Apocalypse Big Game events. Multiple events being run across the globe over the same weekend, with all of the results being submitted centrally to determine the overall outcome. What are peoples thoughts?

Millicant Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 This is a great idea. 40k Orks vs any 30k Imperial list? Sold. I have very few orks but I've been planning on modeling them after Ullanor. I have very few 30k marines but that's going to change... :) I'm sure I could convince my buddy with a crapload of orks to play some games against my 30k stuff. Count me in. Millicant, SoCal (North County SD area), Imperium, although maybe also orks, since I would probably report results for both sides.

Emperors Immortals Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Im just on the EastCoast over the hills, Canberra's. I can probably get a few guys from the Moruya club to play out here, but I have to ask if other armies are allowed, if imperial vs imperial is allowed and what date are you thinking? I'm in, probably Ultramarine's. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299433-30k-ullanor-style-global-event/#findComment-3865823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in, probably Ultramarine's. The standard line will be that the scenario is Imperials vs Orks. However if local TO's are happy allowing a few instances of Imperials vs Imperials or other Xenos play then I dont think anyone is going to object.

Dono1979 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have heard from Kromlech and they are keen to continue to sponsor this event! The initial plan will be for groups who get 10+ players interested can register for $5 per player, which will get them an event token per player plus prize support from Kromlech (still to be determined but more than likely to be 3-5 major prizes with more based on registered player numbers). Groups with less can still participate but simply wont be able to get prize support. We are tentatively aiming for an end of March or start of April time frame for the event. There are a number of players currently testing various rule modifications for the Orks to make them more competitive against Legion and other Imperial 30K lists and we hope to have something definitive by the end of the year. From there we will put together a story line and setting plus a over arching players/TO pack with a suggested scenario setup. Effectively this will be lots of events running on the same weekend, with prizes support for local events but the results from all of the events compiled to determine the overall result of the campaign. Tentative plans are for equal numbers of Ork vs 30K Imperium players: 2,000 pts for Imperium 2,500-3,000 pts for Orks (still to be confirmed) If you are interested in participating in this, start talking with your local players and try to put together a list of interested people and a single person who will co-ordinate on their behalf, plus you will need to source a location. If you are a TO or co-ordaintor with a group, post here stating your location and where you intend to play and currently how many players you have. Other players may be interested in your area. I am hoping to try and get 200 players registered across a variety of sites for this. If we can get more than awesome!
