When is it, where is it, who do I send my money to?
I can't wait to Apocalypse all day.
Well, at least it's not the following weekend of Lock & Load.
Registration is open, but there is no information for all of the events. How am I supposed to register if I don't know what I am registering for?
I see all the info here
http://txgamescon.com/40k/
Looks like both apocalypse narratives are 30k and based on events in Ultramar.
Where do you see that?
There's no information on Warmachine though. Is this going to be softballed in again?
Kind of. Narrative is going to be a new beast. There are going to be standard apoc games and then games that are 40k games with a tweest.Quote:

Yeah Nids in KT are at a serious disadvantage. You either take all Genestealers and Spore Mines or you spend half your points on Warriors to get synapse. I'm thinking of taking a single Zoanthrope, but that seems to be a huge liability.Quote:

Better hope the terrain is set up like Space Hulk with plenty of corners and LoS blocking terrain. Cause that's the only chance the Nids player would have and the Lictor will be taking Synapse checks at the start of every Nids turn. Due to KT rules he would just have to fail once and if he's falling back he's removed.Quote:

Yeah. I don't even want to play space hulk now.Quote:

Edit:
Well, really I just want to go to have a good time and drink $2 beers at the table. I don't really care if it's KT or APOC as long as I can throw dice in a relaxed environment. I also don't particularly care about competitiveness in the narrative track. If you're looking to "win" at the narrative tables, you're signing up for the wrong event.
Winning in the narrative is making sure you and everyone else playing is having fun. sometimes you hafta charge let your Terminators get charged by Abaddon and crew and have an epic throw down. Sometimes you hafta throw a squad in front of a stompa just to get in the way and give the other guy something to shoot. And you're probably going to be picking up most, if not all, of your models.
So ya...I might just play nids, even though they are "terrible" - cause i'm going to have a great time.
Hell ya /HIGH FIVEQuote:

All sentiments I share. Despite Cook calling me a, "power-gamer," I go into every game I play looking to have fun playing a game with my opponent, not stomping them into the ground and running off with their girlfriends. Nids have a ton of issues in competitive play, but of the 2 armies I've fielded they're far and away my favorite because they complement my play style of the best defense being a strong offense. In fact this Saturday John Grimes and I are playing a KT mission where he could easily wipe me out with Tac squads. I've put together a list I think can hold its own, but it will be depending on terrain quite a bit. It's a game. Have fun. The end.Quote:

If you are perceived as the biggest threat on the board you will get blasted... Its just that sometimes you get to do the blasting too!
That's what I'm planning to play in. Might as well embrace the hate.Quote:

That's true. whether I do that or Apoc at this point entirely depends on my ability to get my 2k list to 3 color minimum. And before the audible rolling of eyes, I'm only about 10 models away from that.Quote:

That is true.:cool:Quote:

I will be Narrativing with time-traveling Red Scorpions. They are practically identical to Ultramarines in terms of doctrine anyway, so I'll be loyalist. Perhaps, the Shadow Crusade was the origin of the RS legion, said origin now lost to all imperial records...
I think i will play the Fantasy event this year.
Will Gorkkanauts be allowed?
new blood angels sucks
Mephiston wears a dress.
I agree.
