| I might actually be able to make this!
Anyway, 1. are allies allowed? Or a certain level of allies? 2. Can we field unpainted units or is there a minimum amount of paint? (lets face it, my Tau wont be fully painted in time). 3. Is there a strict adherence to WYSIWYG? Or is it good enough if the unit is distinct?
As an example if my Gun drones have no guns and are painted different can I run them as shield drones? They would be both modeled and painted to be distinct from the actual gun drones, but wouldn't be official shield drones. (Hey they didn't make official shield drone models when i started my army)

| 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes your example of the shield drones is exactly what I would allow. Basicly as long and you explain it and your oppenet knows what it is its ok. I like to keep it lose on the wizywig as I like the crazy converted armys as well. | |

| Sorry Allen that was confusing. I have 11 people per-registerd including you so there will be people to play for sure. I meant for more people from Fort Collins other then just yourself. As there are only 9 slots left its would also be nice to know how many people from your neck can make it so I can Get them in. | |

| Yeah, if Tony had to use his own troops for players' choice, I would have beat him hands down, but he used somebodies unpainted space marines to push himself over the top.
As for games, I brought a 1750+ list to a 2000 point tournament. I kept all of my opponents to low points, even a triheldrake list which ended up taking third(likely because I held him back in my game). I was definitely out classed in all three of my games, I just didn't have the power everyone else did. It was poor list making on my part. I didn't plan on winning everything, and I was happy with how I played(mostly), but I was hoping for a little more than dead last. If you want to know how it all went down and how I felt about how I did, check my blog, I did a tournament report on there. Currently its the second post down. | |

| Off topic, but it was what I expected. I knew fortune would be random and now I am looking at there just being games where I will struggle because my main resiliency is gone. I am glad to see jetbikes didn't move. Some of the new powers are pretty good, 2+ armour on my jetbikes or 2+ guaranteed cover if the turbo... yes pls. Suddenly a good roll on some psychic powers and heldrake shmeldrake. Warlord traits aren't all that great. Overall minimal change, I like the crimson hunter, all the other additions are for the wraith list. | |
