I'm super interested in doing this. It sounds like they were unsure if they were going to use 8th rules or "9th rules" at the time the website went live, but with AoS not being at all conducive to a tournament setting, I expect they'll just use the 8th edition rules.
Anybody want to go with me? I'm thinking of doing 2500 points of lizardmen, gives me a reason to paint them all up.

I want to see confirmation that its using 8th ed rules with no End Times before I decide to go; they said first week of August would be the final decision for which rules set was to be used.

I'm for sure doing this. Guys let's get our shirts and go represent!
Who all has 2500 point fantasy armies still? I can lend someone either my lizzies or chaos as well depending on which I choose to play.

Well the good news is that they aren't using any of the End Times rules - just the units therein (ie, Skaven can use the new Uber Rat Ogres, Chaos can use the new Nurgle/Khorne 40mm base "infantry" units, etc). They're sticking to the core 8th ed. rules + FAQs/Errata from GW.
Dex lets get together and throw down someday soon, I need to clear the cobwebs out on how this game works again.

For those who might be interested, but who don't have the time to delve through that website that David linked - here's the rundown: NOV 7th-8th in SchaumburgHosted at the Courtyard Marriott, so will literally just wake up, shower, and walk downstairs ready to play. 5 rounds guaranteed, none of this "only top 8 play on Sunday" nonsense. - Classic 8th Ed rules - 25% Lords, 25% Heroes, minimum 25% core, 50% Special, 25% rare
- 2500 points
- NO End Times magic, NO End Times combined army lists
- YES to End Times units (ie, new skaven mega rats, nurgle blight kings, morghast archaii, etc)
- WYSIWYG (duh)
- 3 color minimum (duh)
- YES to special characters (but NO to End Times characters)
- NO battlescroll formations
- YES to battlescroll units (ie, be'lakor, exalted flamer, etc)
- YES to Chaos Dwarfs from Tamurkhan (forge world)
- Each Wizard's lore must be specified on the army list, and used throughout the entire GT (duh)
Scoring - 185 Points possible divided into:
- Battle Points - up to 20 earned for each battle, depending on how many points you win by
- 25 points for achieving the objective(s) in each round (5 per round)
- 10 points for Spirit - paying early, submitting list early, dressing up like a wrestler (wait wut), etc.
- 25 points for sportsmanship
- 25 points for painting - using the Adepticon paint checklist
Awards for like 15 different things - from winning the most games, best overall, best painted, losing the most games (ie, the Andy Award), etc. Also a Wrestler dress up contest and a Wrestler model painting contest, since the whole theme of the weekend is basically 1990s WWE (...AWESOME!).
There are 70 total spots, and as of now there are...roughly 40 people from what I can tell. So plenty of time, but I'd like to get a good group together earlier than later, hotel rooms booked, and then we set about playtesting for the next 2-3 months leading into the tourney.

I need to look at what 2500 points looks like and what would be the most fun to play

Are you sticking with Lizards? Or are you thinking about venturing into a different army all together?
