I live 20 mins from the venue so if you guys are testing rulespacks there I'd love to come help. 1500 and not limiting dedicated transports would take my vote.Boomstick!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17144698639336964638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-14017680989713275952015-08-07T23:26:17.106+01:002015-08-07T23:26:17.106+01:00Hi Matt,

Same as with BlogWars, it's a pitty, but some units are way to imbalanced.<br />The main issue being that I prefer playing with redundant units. So two Predators, two Tactical Squads, two Nephilim etc. Makes list building and also playing the armies easier both with and against, as you have less rules to remember.<br /><br />3. points:<br />I'm fine with 1850 points, most often we play 2000 points here though.<br />1500 points, as suggest by corrm wouldn't appeal that much to me. Also going for 4 games on the course of a day seems a bit much in my opinion, as more often than not I'm already feeling my concentration and nerves running thin in the third game on a single day.<br /><br />Keeping my fingers crossed, that it will work out for next year and keep the infos on your planned changes, if any, coming. :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Hendrik<br /><br />PS: Have you (and Alex) thought about doing a BlogBrothersWar-tourney? A team tourney under BW rules would something that I'd be really interested at. :-)HellHennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923437652472440692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-52165482110758290872015-08-06T19:46:33.243+01:002015-08-06T19:46:33.243+01:00Thanks.

Yes I did think that 1850 probably was too high, to be honest the points limit was decided at that level so that the tournament could run with the same schedule as blog wars. I'm gonna test out some different point levels before writing the next rules pack and maybe even consider a much lower limit with 4 games rather than 3.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750622141293745288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-4456990498411942842015-08-04T17:07:02.324+01:002015-08-04T17:07:02.324+01:00I was happy with the restrictions you had in place...I was happy with the restrictions you had in place, and had designed an army to fit in with it.

For example farsight enclaves requires a 3 man crisis team. The rules pack means that I cannot take this unit so I cant take an enclaves detachment. This was one of the factors making it difficult to put a list together for myself.

A highlander style restriction works pretty well, but not at GT tournament point levels. Generally fielding a unit restricted list at 1k points is a heck of a lot easier then 1850.greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-70724000030467308962015-08-04T14:21:30.701+01:002015-08-04T14:21:30.701+01:00Thanks for the feedback and positive comments.

So hadn't got round to buying a ticket. <br />As an example I would have had to paint around 50 gaunts to and 6 beasties to have an army that I would have been happy to field. Simple lack of time was against me on that one. <br />I would hopefully be able to attend next year. And would look forward to trying something different. <br />I'm glad that you haven't decided to just throw the towel in though.

There were a couple of reasons I could not attend:-<br /><br />It is very close to Blog wars, and having a newborn kid limits the amount of events I can attend this year. I have attended alot of blog wars and really enjoy them so chose that as my tournament of the year.<br /><br />I think your concerns about the amount of models people own to be able to field an army with the restrictions you enforce is valid. I know that my DE would be extremely hampered by this, whereas some of the newer codexes would still shine as they have alot of excellent choices and can still field a highly competitive army.<br />NafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.com
