To be completely honest, GSC can't really work in a CAD in my opinion. Don't change something on account of me though, I'm happy to sit one out if the format doesn't fit the army. I understand the limitations completely, as its intended to make the playing field for 40k a little more balanced and fun. 7th edition is a mess, and its hard to balance. I'd hate to play with different rules as it just doesn't seem fair. If your curious about my opinion on the CAD problems for GSC, its all because of the way cult ambush works. You need to have Infiltrate in order to deploy via ambush on turn 1, and only Genestealers (an Elites choice in GSC) begin with Infiltrate stock. Every other units needs be taken in either the Subterranean Uprising Formation, or the Cult Insurrection Detachment in order to get Infiltrate. Without formations your forced to either deploy on turn 1 and risk getting blown off the table or hold your forces in reserves for an ambush on turn 2. Problem with reserves is you might not arrive on time, and GSC don't have to many "anchor" options to hold down the table for 1-2 turns until reinforcements arrive. TLDR I'm a whiny Nid player now, but don't change the rules for me. Updated the rules. Formations are allowed, but I have to approve it. So GSC can bring theirs. |

Yes you can, they and skitarri are the exceptions to the CAD rule. However you are also unable to take LoW or formations unless the Masque allows it (I forget if they can or not). They can't take any LoW. Only if you build them in a Ynarri reborn, but I imagined that you weren't letting in soulbursts in the name of balance. |

Nick if you really feel like playing God and trying to balance armies, you could do what Madison did for the October tourney. He had faction-based warlord traits for each army to help with balance. For instance, marine troops have a 5++ or GSC troops have infiltrate or sisters troops reroll ones to hit. |

Also guys dougs playing so the tournament is canceled Fiiiiiine no Cadian Detachment, I mean it is pretty OP and I want others to have a chance too. Also I'll wear a hooded robe to hide from the surface dwellers, so you don't have to cancel it. |

ONE SPOT LEFT. THEN ITS FIRST PAY FIRST SERVE - if there are people on the waiting list ready to pay, but you have to wait (for payday etc), we may have to let them hop on first. I just don't want to be in a situation where we're waiting on someone to pay and then they don't and then someone on the waiting list misses out.
