What is it?

The Portsmouth Tier Challenge (PTC ) is my first event as a Press Ganger. It's a 35 point Warmachine only tournament consisting of four rounds, for 16 players, using steamroller scenarios and scoring system. But here's the twist! Only tier/themed lists mentioned in the forces of warmachine books may be used!

When is it?

Saturday September 11th 2010. First game is at 10am so we're asking players to be there by 9:30!

Where is it?

The Portsmouth royal British legion, locate right next to Fratton railway station! Here's a link to their website: http://www.rblportsmouthsouth.co.uk/branch.htm

What do I need to do now?

Email me your details at Urcaen[at]gmail.com and we can organise payment!

Payment? How much we talking about here?

Only £5! This is to cover the cost of hiring the hall and a bit of prize support.

Do I need to know anymore?

Only that you will need to submit your army list to the above email address at least two weeks before the event. Please remember to note down all points costs, what tier you're playing at, and what bonuses you get due to the tiers. Remember! Although it's steamroller scenarios it is only one list allowed! However, you do not have to fully paint your army (but there will be an award for best painted!)


Hope to see you there!!

Any questions just post the on here!

You know I want to be there, will try to rustle up some supprot for this one mate.

Cheers.

Jon.

does a list have to be tier 4 or can tier 1 lists be used?

Any tier! As long as it satisfies a tier! So yes, tier 1 does count.

Ohh dear ... don't allow Aaron access to T1 only ... at least make it T2+

Mmmm, tier four E skarre, or do I rock up the Venny meister?

What if I am crying salty tiers - will that work?

All cygnar are salty, and crying from all the hot dock action they get from the sailors.

They also cry cos their tiers are... interesting.

E Gaspy tier 1

Death jack
Defiler

10x bane knights
6x bane thralls
bane lord tarturus
Withershadow combine

of course

E Skarre Tier 4

Defiler
Seether
Reaper

6x Satxiys raiders + ua
6x Satxiys raiders + ua
6x blood witchs + ua

raider captain

I'd play them lists normally.

I don't think interesting is the word to use
Sadly I think I'm working that Saturday and I don't think the odds are good of me getting that changed. Otherwise I might have to go out and buy some Merc stuff. Ashlynn and Fiona are looking mighty tempting. Or maybe Reznik

Need to reopen negotiations with the good lady wife as I would love to have ago at this one.

And fellas the best tier list at 35pts is Shae Tier 4 ... YAAARR !

Shae T4 ... isn't that just a Shae list?

Are you gunna enter John? Bring the dwarfs for an outing?

Guys just a swift reminder that the deadline for list entries is in 2 weeks (28th of august) we've had 8 guaranteed entrants so far, so come on, now's the time to commit!

Just wanted to note I am no longer attending this one as my missus had booked tickets to see Muse months beforehand, of course I didn't put it in the diary as I am dumb!

I'm gutted as I was really looking forward to this one

Jon.

That's ok Jon, Sanj has informed me of that one, what about the rest of the tanelorn crew?

We're trying to get Vish down from his exile oop Norf

Probably not us this time around, just bad timing for us really ... well me mostly but I'm the "driver" ...

I can't stress enough how much fun this tourney will be.
The guys who have signed up so far are a brilliant group of players with a good sense of humour and great sportsmanship.
There are some ludicrous tier lists going down.

There is also a wide range of skill represented at the tourney.
From people who have only just picked up the game to those who have played at nationals in the champion's hall.
Tournament match ups should see you pitted against somebody of equal ability for most of the four games played.

So come and have a go if you think you're hard enough, or even if you think you're not

I've signed up and looking forward to this. Will be taking my Cygnar and with any luck the following pCaine list. Any tactical advice for it would be appreciated. (I like all the figures and am not expecting it to be that effective but it's what I have and Caine's tiers are rather restrictive.)

pCaine
cyclone

Black 13th
Unit of gun mages with unit attachment
Marshalled cyclone
Unit of gun mages with unit attachment
Marshalled hunter

This list is tier 4 and I need a lot more practice with it.

Anyone else taking Cygnar?

SOMEONE has to go with pVlad + 8 Berserkers.

If it was closer to the Midlands I might have been tempted myself!

They don't have to... It would be quite frightening to face such a list though. Would the list really be just berserkers? (I've no idea about Vlad's tier lists other than cheaper berserkers.) Not even Drago?

Okay! We have 14 confirmed entrants with lists and everything, there's still 2 spots left, 2 weeks away now!

If anyone would like to enter please email me urcaen[at]gmail[dot]com

Could you please update the entrant list please. I've emailed you and sent my list (posted above in this thread) but since my name hasn't been added I'm worried about whether I've got a place. (I'm paranoid. )

Hi Richard

I've added you to the list (place 8 replacing Garry who had to drop out).
I was at a wedding this weekend and Jason couldn't get hold of me.
See you soon

Sanj

Cheers and thank you.

Any comments about the list by the way?

Jason and I need to stay impartial to entrant's lists, but your list looks solid and should be fun to play *pew pew pew*

Can't wait trying out a new caster for this. I love my banes. Egaspy is fun but i am finding i miss pDenny.

Don't forget to send me your list asap Mitch! The deadline for list entry was this Saturday just past
