Looking to put together some kind of 30k event.
- Probably a "tournament" , 3 linked games
- Probably escalation style (1000, 1500, 1850/2000 pts)
On a Saturday (FOR JIM)
Some Xenos Allowed?
Any interest in something like this? I would like some feedback or ideas on structure.
I think no xenos for the first one; maybe talk about how to house rule them for 30K play after more games have been played. Escalation on a game basis would be cool, but doing three linked escalating events would also be cool (then you could give bonuses for winning from one event to the next), but that may also be a thing for later. The advantage to the three linked events is of course that you would have more participants if they only need to have the lowest value completed to play the first one.
If xenos were allowed I would propose Daemons, Orks, Eldar (Dark, CW, Harlies) only, following Age of Darkness detachment only (ie 3 HQs, 4 Elites, LoW = 25% of army max) with no formations or non-extant characters.
I'd say lets try without xenos? Stick to the books? Allow counts as from current 40k (meaning 40k marines and chaos coukd rep a legion. Also AdMech and IG). But add a category to painting scores for fluff appropriate 30k.
Tyranids from planet murder...c'mon...
Basically my stance reads thusly: then it's not a ****ing 30k event anymore.
I agree, no xenos. I like the idea for escalation.
awww show me on the doll where the flyrant touched you.Quote:

The other part of me thinks 40k stuff is actually better and would ruin the 30k vibe*. For the first one - I'd play it conservative and just run 30k only. No Xenos (even though Chris' list of xenos is actually pretty legit). Later on - play it by ear.
*30k can't ruin the 40k vibe. Playing 30k is just handicapping yourself vs 40k armies. But some players like the challenge and want to play with their toys.
Get a date set and I'll try to get the day off to make this.
And my vote is no xenos, let's let the marines punch face for this one.
Interested! I will be there, just let me know which day.
I also vote no Xenos. I'm not bored of Marine on Marine Historical Battles yet. No need to spice it up.
