Posted this in the Adepticon thread, but since its an old thread figured I'd throw this up here too.
I have a ticket for the 4-man 40k Team Tournament for Adepticon April 2-3 in Schaumburg; but 1 player is too busy to go, 1 player was relying on me and Jeff to supply models that aren't painted, and Jeff just moved to a new city, so the band is breaking up.
Does anyone out there want to take the ticket off my hands? I know we have a ton of imperial players, if you guys banded together to form a team I think you'd have a blast. There just aren't enough necron, eldar, or tyranid players for me to get a proper team together is all.
Let me know - the Adepticon guys can transfer the badge for the team over to someone else (Dougtrio? Asyrean? Rob? Dan K? KnightMantis?). SOMEONE PLEASE

So I would be interested especially if we can get a team together.
That said I need to see if my union contract weekend falls on those days.

Today is the last day to register for a weekend pass at Adepticon, so the sooner we can find out who wants to be on the team the better.

So, what if you can't get the weekend pass, do you just have to pay more and/or register at the door? Or is today the last day to get a pass of any kind?
I have interest but as for me, it'd be a stretch for me to make it. Having enough painted marines is my biggest challenge. If it came down to 3 folks on the team and you were desperately looking for a 4th, I could try to make it work, but it would be really tough. Also, if we have to buy a weekend pass today or we're out then that makes it difficult for me as well. (Have some work trips up in the air and I couldn't pull the trigger today.)

It's Sat and Sun right? I've got a pass and am willing to fill a spot (even if that means missing some combat patrol, tear  ... ) But 4 of us banding together before tonight is a bit of a stretch. How exactly does it work, do we all have to be the same faction or something? It's 1k points battlefields with 2 detachment limit or something? 2v2? Please explain |

People just need to have the weekend passes is all, which are only available through tonight. We can figure out the details of the armies, the people playing them, theme, etc. up until the actual dates of the tournament. Sorry, should have been more clear on that!
As for the rules for the tournament - its 4 players per team, each with 1000 points. You have to follow this detachment:
1 HQ, 0-1 Elite, 1-3 Troops, 0-1 Fast, 0-1 Heavy. One player per team, can increase their allowance for Elite, Fast, or Heavy by 1. One player per team can take a fortification, and one player per team can take a Lord of War. One player per team can also take a formation.
Team factions are split into Imperial, Heretics, Xenos, and Hybrid. Its ideal you take a thematic force with battle brothers, to maximize theme/fluff points, but you can technically team up anything and they just count as Allies of Convenience.
Each round, each team will play 2 games, each at 2000 points (comprised of two teammates' armies, randomly selected by the TOs). Armies with lords of war are always paired vs armies with lords of war, so that you won't run into a knight or wraithknight without being prepared.
I would still be down to play, but if there are 4 imperial players for example that would prefer to band together, I'm happy to transfer the ticket over is the point.

Since its not sold out, I would imagine you can still get a weekend pass. I'll email them and double check, since people have to work through work schedules etc. |
