Well with Limerick no longer being the murder capital of Europe it seems the locals have decided to hold a tournament in a bid to attract visitors. Ok, two of them. They must be making up for lost time. They're holding the events in the nicest part of the city - out by the University so no fear there.

There's two events on in July. The first is a one day 40k event on the 10th called Conclave out in the Castletroy Park Hotel and this should have all the details.

The second is Brocon but that may be booked out, partly because they have some Cosplayer or pornstar or whatever...all I know is there's some savage model has a site and likes to play dress-up and dress-down on it. Brocon's site should explain a bit more. It's on the 18th of July but word reaches me that it may be sold out already.

Both are 1750 points and ranked events for the Irish ETC team. That doesn't mean anything if you aren't going for the ETC team so don't worry, there won't be any weird rules additions. It's just the Rulebook plus Codices plus FAQ's (not Adepticon's though).

Hopefully we'll get a decent turn out for both as there's already a big contingent from the Real Capital heading up to both.

If I find time between my busy schedule of sheep shagging and kicking your arse at football I might head up. :biggrin:

 

[Stormbrow II]

If Cork's forwards could kick a ball straight between the posts or they had taken that young fella O'Neill off earlier there'd be no need for a replay and we'd have pulled away in the last few minutes. Instead they keep giving the ball to the one pleb that can't shoot on the run...

I'll not comment on the sheep-shagging. You Kerrymen muck savages would be the experts on that.

I'll have my Wolves with me if I can get them painted, otherwise it'll be Stormraven BA.

 

[Lord Reevan]

what're the paint reuirements for armies in this By the way? I know a few places won't let armies without basing on them.

 

[Stormbrow II]

There'll probably be a painting prize and you won't win it but apart from that there'll be no problem as there's always someone that doesn't have their army fully finished. Or someone that is still painting/basing their army the morning of the event, like when they're deploying...:blush:

 

[Lord Reevan]

ah okay that's cool then. Painting is my weakest part of the hobby so I'm sorted then ha. so If there was a full army with no base decoration people wouldn't mind??

 

[Stormbrow II]

God no. What about just painting the top of the bases green or brown or something? Just daub it on and it'll count. Easy

 

[Lord Reevan]

They're painted black *shifty eyes*

 

[Stormbrow II]

Something I've is head to a builder's providers and just ask for some sand. I filled a few plastic containers I got from a Chinese with it and he only charged me a euro. There had to be an upside to the collapse of the economy I suppose.

I just plaster PVA glue onto the base and dip it into the sand and I'm done. Hopefully on time for the tourneys this time. Even a Kerryman could get it finished in a week.

 

[Lord Reevan]

Champion Idea my good man! definitely 2 heading up anyway, maybe 4 though

 

[Stormbrow II]

The job. The more the merrier. I'm trying to organise lifts up at the moment but there's load of them gone to Skibb for the weekend so I've to wait til next week. We've got 10 already with a few more trying to pull strings i.e. getting the boss/wife to approve.

That's 10 people, only 4 cars so far but I reckon we'll get 15 easily enough. There'll easily be 40 people playing so it should be fairly competitive too. Now go and paint your schtuff.

 

[Lord Reevan]

Hey another thing, Most tournaments have rulespacks, does this one have one and if so where can I get it? also is there painting competitions and the like that are in normal tournaments??

 

[Stormbrow II]

I'm going to send him an email in over the weekend so he can answer more of that stuff but as far as I know there will be 3 multi-objective missions with a 15/10/5 scoring system using differences in victory points to give a +1/-1 for every 250 point difference between the players. Its actually a good system.

Eg you get 2 objectives and your opponent gets 1 so you win getting 15. Your opponent has done 1000 points of damage to you but you've only done 250 to him. Your score will be 12 - 8.

Painting doesn't get you points and there'll be a seperate competition for that. I've got a big list of FAQs for him to get through so I'll pass them onto him so he can put them up too.

 

[Lord Reevan]

is there anywhere that stuff is published on a website or anything like that? Just weird to have such little info on the actual tournament rules when it's only like 2 weeks away

There you go LR. We'll be getting there about half 10 so we can meet up then. There's a few other lads that are posting here that are going so we'll see you up there.

 

[Lord Reevan]

Nice one. I have to head up the night before (damned public transport!) so I'll definitely be around by that time.

 

[Stormbrow II]

Nice one - there's 4 or 5 Warheads, 11 from Cork, and about 20 from Limerick going so we should hit the 40 mark (unless you're counting yourself with the 'heads) with the usual last-minuters.

Should be good craic. Must get painting - only 16 Marines, 4 tanks, 2 characters and a pile of Wolf fur to go...

 

[Lord Reevan]

I have some sponsons to convert, 3 tanks and 5 men to paint then I'm sorted. I'm not counting myself as a warhead this is my first tournament that isn't a shop sales pitch one haha

 

[Stormbrow II]

You get your shit painted yet?

The group of us from Cork are going to be heading up at 9am and we'll get to Stab City for about half 10 so what we were going to do was enter as a big block and get a discount on the entry so if you fancy hanging on for us we might all get in cheaper.

Got 3 colours on all the models but have to sex them up to make them look pretty now.
