Two on Two tournamnet

Talking with Sonny about doing a two day, two on two tournament. Shooting for late July.

watching this, been awhile since ive been to a 2vs2 i belive me and smakaelf would come if they did it when i was home....

Just got word the tournament is going to be Saturday, July 2nd. Ill get more details very soon, but I got to take off.

Two man teams with lists up 1,500 points each for 3,000 points per side. Room for 12-14 teams. Going to use GW's rules for deciding who can team with who. They break it down into battle brothers, trusted allies, dis-trusted allies, and no way. Ten bucks per person, winning team gets 70% of total, 2nd place gets 30% in gift certificates. I'll give you guys the complete low down soon, so grab a partner and get ready.

Alright I let the guys in LA know and going to put a flyer up at Jaks very soon. Im also trying to get hold of the Fla guys. There are 13 spots left so if you wanna have a spot reserved, let me know.

Greetings from Florida,
We will need 3 team slots if they are still available.

As far as the allies rules are concerned, are these out of the apoc book or is their another reference you can point me to?

Do the ally categories give any special modifiers or incentives for pairing armies together in any way?

Ignore the comp part, just use this as a guide for determining who can ally with who, and what status the alliance qualifies as, ie battle brothers, trusted allies, distrusted allies,etc...

this site explains the benefits/drawbacks of different allies.

Thanks for the quick replies, all of this looks good.

Please let me throw these basic assumptions (obvious as they may be) at you just to make sure I am not missing anything.

1. The only difference between D and T is the negative leadership part attached to distrusted allies.
2. Daemonhunters are now Grey Knights (with no changes to the chart).
3. Standard force orgs, nothing special
4. We cannot share special rules (outside of battle brothers) but can we share vehicles?

I also assume WYSIWYG, will there be a painting score or a painting requirement?

yes
yes
yes
no, only battle brothers


WYSIWYG

Painting-you cannot play models that show the base material (plastic/resin/metal). If you and your ally paint your armies at least three colors and base them or paint the base, you get 10 bonus points

Comp-If you and your ally spend more points on troops than any other selction, you get 10 bonus points

Sportsmanship-If you and your ally get two out of three positive checks, you get 10 bonus points.

Battle points
Win 30 Tie 10 Loss 0

The battles will consist of one quarters, one objectives grab, and one kill points.

3. Standard force orgs, nothing special

things like 2 Mephistons, or 6 Ravagers are ok?

six ravengers, yes, but no unique character doubles.

Stuart and Logan need one spot for the grey knights

Done

Im going to post the three scenarios this weekend to give you guys a chance to tailor your armies.

For these scenarios I would advise having a good amount of troop selections.

First scenario is a quarters games. Who ever controls the most quarters wins. The catch; Troops, HQ choices connected to troops, and models that infiltrate, start of on the board. All elites and fast attack come in on the second turn from your table edge. All remaining hq and heavies enter on turn three from your table edge.

Seond-Capture objectives. Players put one objective in their zone, one in no man's land and one in the enemey's zone. All must be 12 inches form table edge and other markers. Who ever has the most counters wins.

Third-Modified kill points. Whoever has the most kill points wins.
Dedicated trasnports-0
Troops-1
Elite and Fast Attack-2
HQ and Heavy-3

All set ups will use the apocalypse set up (no time bidding). Roll a scatter die in the middle of the table. Use this roll to split the table. Mark six inches on either side of the line as no man's land.

When rolling for first turn, if the total is nine or more, the first round is night fight.

Hey,
add Chris and Gino for a team from jak's
if you have any questions hit me up at 228 806-9445

Alright!

Logan and Stuart will not be there. Sorry guys

Here is shcedule for the tournament

10:00-10:30 arrive and get ready
10:30-1:30 first round
1:45-4:45 second round
4:45-5:30 dinner
5:30-8:30 third round

Games are longer due to bigger army sizes.

First scenario is a quarters games. Who ever controls the most quarters wins. The catch; Troops, HQ choices connected to troops, and models that infiltrate, start of on the board. All elites and fast attack come in on the second turn from your table edge. All remaining hq and heavies enter on turn three from your table edge.

so do IC's in these slots work the same way?

I.E. is my Chaplain and Sanguinary Priest about to walk on the board by themselves on turn 3?

Good question. Any attached ICs can come in with a squad they are attached to. If you dont attach them, then they have to walk on. And to make it more clear, any squad,vehicle, or character that can sout, infiltrate, or outflank has the option to set up on the table first turn.

Also, what about stuff that would come in turn 2 or 3 that are in drop pods? Will drop pod assault, being a special rule given by a codex, change the deployment options? or will these guys have to deep strike in their own deployment zone?

Deep strikers and drop pods come in normally (ie by codex rules).

So Heavies in drop pods could come in turn 1?
