Hordes Genesis, Primal Mkii launch event - 8th August, Winsford, Cheshire.

After the massive success, or at least not a disater, that was the Pre-Masters Mash Up I am looking to host another tournament at our club in sunny Winsford.

The event will follow the Genesis rules pack which can be found here, with the following ammendments...

First things first, Warmachine is allowed!

Next up, army lists. The first round will feature 25 point games, with 8 minute turns. No epic models or non-warlock/warcaster character models can be used except for character models from HORDES: Primal Mkii (because this is a Primal release event).

The second round will use 35 point games. A player’s 35 point army list must use the same models as their 25 point list plus additional models. These additional models may include epic models and character warbeasts/warjacks (see below) but no non-warlock/warcaster character warrior models. Players can also upgrade to the epic version of their warlock/warcaster. If a players wishes to they can upgrade the following warbeasts/warjacks by spending the difference in points between the two models:

• Dire Troll ⇒ Mulg the Ancient
• Construct heavy warbeast ⇒ Megalith
• Cyclops ⇒ Molik Karn
• Legion heavy warbeast ⇒ Typhon
• Ironclad ⇒ Ol' Rowdy
• Lancer ⇒ Thorn
• Crusader ⇒ Fire of Salvation
• Revenger ⇒ Blessing of Vengence
• Juggernaut ⇒ Beast 09
• Beserker ⇒ Drago
• Slayer ⇒ Nightmare

The third round (and all subsequent rounds) will use 50 point games. A player’s 50 point army list must use the same models as his 35 point list plus additional models. These additional models may include any legal model for their army. Players must use the same version of the warlock/warcaster as in their second round list. As in the second round, players may upgrade warbeasts/warjacks to their character version by spending the difference in points between the two models as noted in the table above.

The cost for the day is going to be £10.

9.00 am to 9.30 am - Arrival and Registration
9.30 am to 10.45 am - Game One (25 pts)

Green names have paid, red one's haven't!

I hope everything sounds ok but if you do have any questions please let me know.

Sounds excellent but I'm at a stupid wedding.


Good luck for the day!

Im in

I'll be there. Booker & Stu may come too. Can i get your paypal details please Mr Smith?



Interesting typo.

Shh that never happened!

Too late, i has screenshots!

Hmmm I'd be interested if I can get away for the day at such short notice.

Here's hoping

I appreciate it's kinda short notice.

Let me know though!

ye im there.

We'll be same faction! Maybe you'll be able to beat me then

Very tempted to enter this one! I will see if I am available that day ....

I'm in.

Just hoping I can get 50 pts of Trollbloods painted up in time (should do, its a bit of a team effort )

i would love to come but alas its my sister's birthday, so ill have to give this a miss im afraid.
ill definately make the next one alex

at first i thought the cost would hold me back, but £10 is nothing- i'm defo in

Are there any benefits to bringing a painted army?

It looks really pretty

Some people say they perform better

Lies ... there is the golden rule of : Its its just been painted, it will die by the end of turn 2, without doing a thing!!!

Ofc that might just be my luck

haha, of course they look better, and sometimes perform better when painted, but are there bonus Tournie Brownies for shunning Regulation Silver?

edit:
Speaking of brownies, call it... An experimental idea but what if entrants each got a delicious freshly baked Chocolate brownie- firm on the outside but with a gooey centre?

Undoubtedly you'll play out of your skin as usual against me and then fold like a wet paper bag in your second game....I wanna play you second!

I shall look forward to it if I can go.

Nah, i haven't lost a 2nd round game yet. You want to play me in the third round, i almost always loose my third game.

Are you doing a report on the ETC?

I have just updated the list of entrants in the initial post.

Names will appear in red until paid, when they will turn green.

Ben,

Yeah I'm doing an ETC report just haven't got round to doing it, basically due to work being crazy busy for some reason and my xbox addiction.

Right round three it is

You got saddled with Mock marking, report writing and random things out of no where then too

Tep, that and the big killer this week has been sorting out the time table, 18 classes at KS3 with 11 of them split and several between three staff, it's pee poor, poh and only two of the staff being right for that as well, not going to get on to KS4, external time tablers suck balls!

Al, confirmation on a few people. Kinsey is broke, Booker can't come cos it's his sis' bday and Stu can't come cos there is an open day at on of their kids schools. No reply from J.

I would like to attend your event - Andrew Stores

i wish to attend and steal padje's coin...

i will be bringing myself as in sheffield on that weekend so no risk of the jenkins boys mucking it up.

TROLL COIN = Mine. Thanks

Put me down for this......payment soon once it's gone from oral confirmation to written!

Alex,

Add me to the list as well please matey. Got to give that Vance character some in faction competition.
