I know this should be under tournaments but since folks are doing list thoughts here it is important.
No Maelstrom at darkstar.

Did you ask about Come the Apoc allies?

No Maelstrom, interesting. I'm going to have to be prepared for kill points then, and redo my MSU list - how many of the main missions use that? IIRC its only 1-2 of them, the rest are various objective missions (1 each, D3, D6, relic).

As far as we know, KP could be in every mission. They each will have a Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary, so who knows.

I mean, they probably won't. Lictorshame might be a problem then.

I responded with "Great so come the apocalypse is fine and we should expect it to be really damn competitive."
Sounds like TauNids is a go

He responded its like 30% competitive players. Which sounds like BS to me so I updated my list:
Buffmander, 3x Suits with missiles and markerlight drones all target locking
10 kroot and hound
10 kroot and hound
Blast Tide
Broadsides Missiles
Skyray stealthy
3xFlyrants
2x Mucs
2x ripper squads.
1850 bitches.

Keep in mind that right now its only 38 players, so relatively small. And looking at the lists that have already been submitted, there isn't a ton of cheese in there yet (one dude running Knights, a whole bunch of Dark Eldar players, then the normal smattering of space marines, orks, tyranids, and eldar). Granted, it doesn't show allies...so could be Eldar + Nids or whatever, but at least its not all like "Tau, Tau, Tau, Eldar, Eldar, Tau, Daemons, Tau, Tau".

So, having never been to a tourney, when WYSIWYG do you need to have the relics and grenades and shit or is there freedom from that? Also, is there any allowance for weapon loadouts being represented by a different one, or must it be the actual model (Psilencer instead of a Psycannon, for example?), or assault cannon representing twinlinked autocannon?
Also, is there any spectating and/or drinking, or just a bunch of pasty nerds moving dolls around in silence? |

WYSIWYG is super important, but mostly just for optional upgrades. Frag and krak grenades on Marines isn't totally necessary, but if one dude has a melta bomb, he needs to have that melta bomb. Plasma guns for melta guns are also a big no-no for tournaments, but creative modelling and kitbashing is usually fine.
Spectating would be fine, but it'd probably get a little dry for ya. However, we will be at FFG's game center, so that's bound to be super rad.
