BOYL 2016 Rogue Trader "tournement"

Whoot, sounds like there will be a few of us playing, awesome. Im working on my dethguard, painting them. If have the basic textures layed in. In the end I have

Commander
5 Bikers
3 units of Plague marines
3 rhinos

My concern is that people will think Im power gaming! ;) THe marines tougness update happened after Lost and the Damned, where the amry list for nurgle traitors is. THey have marines as T3 and Plage marines as T4 (they have the mark of Nurgle), but with the T4 update on normal marines it makes the deathguard T5. HOWEVER, I made the army because
a. I found a whole bunch of my old RTB101 beakies and
b. I wanted to paint nurgle

I will write a campaign story and some scenarios, so there will be some story telling element for those who like that side of it! ;)
 
Be good to see the force Curtis. Since I chose Orks I still have a fair bit to do as apart from nobs they're pretty cheap.

I have warlord retinue incl nobz, humie advisor and 2 X meks (one with snot attack gun) and a painboy and a runtherd

Unit of gretchin
Snots
Big mob of 13 boys
Mob of 5 boyz
Rhino
Land raider
Tinboy
Warbike

Dunno where I'm gonna get the time! :?

Land raider is being built for me by Mustafa Bebkir off the FB page after I saw what a great job he did with a scratch built Goff one. I have half the big mob painted ...

I am bringing Advanced Space Crusade to BOYL which means I will have a fair few RT/1st Tyranids to hand.

So far I have 10 Hunter-Killers, 6 Tyranid Warriors and a Screamer-Killer all painted which is probably a nice little force. I managed to get hold of scans of the RT army list for Tyranids that was in White Dwarf so can total up the points tonight.
 
I booked 2 tables for both sat and sunday afternoon and 1 table for the mornings and friday. The idea is to get games played as schedules fot for playing other games.
 
Not there on the Friday and playing Rise of Morcar on the Saturday so putting out feelers for opponents on Sunday? I have nearly completed painting my orcses! :)
 
Hi, I have signed up for this. I will be fielding a genestealer cult. Need to paint up some brood brothers ...

Probably i will have two allied covens, both allied to Tzeentch, and a couple of Flamers plus a few chaos spawn and however many brood brothers i get painted.

available to play on Friday and Sunday.
 
Awesome! Im looking forward to this. Its hard to know how many people will be playing. Skalene's lad will be bringing some stealers too I believe, so its going to be fun to see which hive-mind is most powerful ;)

I have drafted up a list of scenarios for us to play. I have made the objective markers for these games. I can add more if anyone has any preferences!

Dude that last one is death on a stick (love it). I'm not going to be there until Saturday morning (got to finish work at the normal time Friday) but still bringing the scenery, do you need anything else (dice/tapes/stuff/things)?

Probably defiantly going to be my Ork mob I'll be fielding (Guff Giblets feared commander and flatulent rampaging interstellar scourge will be bringing the boys who make the noise!!!!!!!!).

Really looking forward to a game (or two :grin: ).
 
Definitely bring dice, note paper and tape. I have a bunch of scenery too. I will try to remember scissors and paper so we can make templates on the fly ;)

Hi Curtis, very sorry but events have conspired to mean I can only do one day of BOYL this year and am going to be running a game so sadly me and my gribbly Tyranids will have to sit this one out. Looking forward to seeing the games though!
 
I am on the train up to Newark. I have not finished painted any brood brothers yet but I brought a squad with me and some paints so will hopefully get them ready in time.
Otherwise I will field 2 genestealer covens with some chaos spawn and a flamer, not a very balanced force but it will be OK I guess.

I have with me Rogue trader and compilation rulebooks and one piece of terrain (a sort of small oil refinery thing), but no dice or tapemeasure or templates.

Look forward to seeing you all soon. Never been to an event like this before so it will be an experience I am sure.

I've also got loads of that kind of stuff which I can bring, so no worries there.

Also looking forward to fightin some Nids or Steelers. I'm bringing some Guard as well if it will make it easier for you to pull a coven together dude?
 
Thanks very much Mattp that is very kind. I could use a squad of 9 guardsmen with lasguns if it is not too much trouble for you to bring them. But if not I think i will be ok. I have several hours this evening to finish painting one squad of 9.

It's no problem, I'm bringing them anyway dude. Couldn't make 1200 points with them without building a crazy tank or something........... :idea: Building a tank.

Thanks for doing this Curtis. A neat way to allow people to both have a game with their own army and also take part in a bigger event. I think we should do something similar next year. Maybe with fantasy?
