Texas Toy Soldier Warhammer 40,000 Summer League

Summer 2013 is shaping up to be an excellent opportunity to build a Warhammer 40,000 army in North Texas, with multiple escalation leagues announced!

First to begin will be Texas Toy Soldier's Summer 40K League. This league begins on Tuesday, May 7 and runs through Tuesday, July 23, climaxing in an End-of-League Tournament Saturday, July 27.
This Escalation League starts at 750 points and moves to 1500 points.

Dedicated league night in-store is Tuesday, but league games can be played any time TTS is open and tables are uncommitted to other scheduled events.

TTS league rules and goals are straightforward:

1 – Have Fun. TTS is more interested in fostering fun than anything else: sure, play to win, but be a sportsman about it.

2 – Build an army. The format of the league is setup to allow players to start with smaller armies and build them up by the end of the league.

3 – Meet New Players. The league scoring system encourages playing against an opponent for the first time.

4– Score Points. Players score for playing games as well as winning them, and for playing opponents for the first time. Accrued points determine each player's overall rank in the league, but TTS reminds participants do not be too concerned about how many points you have scored, the main purpose of the league is to get gamers together to play.

How to Join: Sign up at Texas Toy Soldier. The entry fee is $10. You will need to provide your name, email address and the army (or armies, see following) you will build and play in the league.

Prizes: Every player who participates in the League Finals will win a prize.

The TTS Escalation League starts at 750 points May 7; army size increases to 1000 points May 28; army size increases to 1250 points June 18; army size increases to 1500 points July 9. The last day for League play will be July 23, with the End-of-League Tournament Final Saturday, July 27.

Army selection: Players may build and play as many different armies during the span of league play as they desire, with each additional army codex registered costing an additional $10. Players may register more than one army initially, or may add armies at any time. Regardless of how many armies are registered, points are accumulated as a player. Every game you play will count towards your point total, no matter what army you are playing.

WYSIWYG: This stands for "What You See Is What You Get" and it means that the Missile Launcher carried by your Space Marine is not a Lascannon; players must make a reasonable effort to point troops as they are actually modeled.

Missions: Players may use the standard missions in the rulebook or choose from missions provided at the store, which will be previews of the tournament scenarios.

Scoring League Points and making it to the finals: Games must be played at Texas Toy Soldier. You can play as many games as you want, and play the same opponent as many times as you both want. Points are earned for Games Played, Games Won, and new opponents faced at the following rate:
750 points: 1 point
1000 points: 2 points
1250 points: 3 points
1500 points: 4 points
Winning: +2 points
Playing someone for the first time: +4 points

The players with the most League Points on the final Tuesday of play (probably 12 or 16 players, depending on how many are in the league) will be invited to play in the End-of-League Tournament on Saturday, July 27. The winner of the Tournament will be declared League Champion.

Good luck, Commanders!

Intro To Hobby Tourney Sat, Jan 12 at Gunslinger Games

Gunslinger Games will let North Texas hobbyists put their 40K Christmas presents on the game table Saturday, January 12, 2013, by hosting a Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition Combat Patrol Tournament!

Interested players of all experience levels are welcome--in fact the Combat Patrol format is particularly effective for players new to the hobby:

•Armies of 400 Points or less.

•One core TROOPS choice mandatory.

•One HQ choice optional (patrol leader may be a squad upgrade such as a veteran sergeant).

•No Characters, Monsters or other unit types with more than 2 Wounds.

•No Vehicles with combined Armour Value greater than 34 (front/side/rear AV added, ie a Dreadnought with 12/12/10 is patrol-legal).

•Although there will be scoring of and prizes for Painting, participation requires only that used models be assembled, based and equipped as they will be played (ie with proper weapons and upgrades).

•Play consists of three 50 minute games in succession--by tournament's end, hobbyists will have a working familiarity with the game and with the core of their army, upon which they can readily build.

•Play begins after lunch and is finished before dinner!


To get those holiday gifts into action, players may register one of two ways:

•Make a purchase at host Gunslinger Games of $10 or greater, sign up in-store, then confirm your registration and what army you will play at Outrider@AdeptusNorthTexas.com (or on the Adeptus email list).

•Buy a participation entry from host Gunslinger Games for $10, sign up in-store, then confirm your registration and what army you will play at Outrider@AdeptusNorthTexas.com (or on the Adeptus email list).

The Combat Patrol tournament will run from Noon till 4:30pm.

Assemble you core patrol, be it an assemblage of grizzled veteran models, a shiny new addition to a familiar force, or an all-new, never-tried first excursion into the hobby, and let slip the dogs of forty-first millennium war, Saturday, January 12, at Gunslinger Games.

Result: 40K Doubles Tournament at Gunslinger Games

Gunslinger Games was full to overflow for Saturday, October 21st's Warhammer 40,000 Sixth Edition Doubles Team Tournament, with these hobbyists achieving notable outcomes:

• Best Overall Team: Billy and Tommy Pistole (Orks/Traitor Imperial Guard)

• Best Sportsmen Team: Barret Allen and Chuck Williams (Necrons/Exorcist Space Marines)

• Best Painted: Michael Sanford (Grey Knights)

Michael Sanford and teammate Will Davis also went undefeated to be named Best Generals (Grey Knights/Salamander Space Marines); Eric and Alexz Smelley (Dark Eldar/Space Wolves) had Best Army List; those two teams tied to finish Third Overall, with Josh Sherman and Brady Allen (Jade Legion Space Marines/Tyranids) finishing Runner-up Overall Team.

Level of play was very high, reflected in close games through all three rounds--and above average Sportsmanship scores for virtually the entire roster of teams. That's well-known as a point of emphasis for events I moderate--play which results in players having fun keeps players in the hobby--but it created a real logjam at the top for the Best Sportsmen prize: when bonus points for being named Favorite Opponent were added to each round's score, three teams were tied for high score, with three more only a single point behind. Winning team Barret and Chuck were the only players to receive maximum scores for each round, which broke the tie, but kudos to Chris LaJudice/John Saxin (Chaos Space Marines/Tyranids) and Josh Sherman/Brady Allen (tied for Best Sportsmen) and John Laird/Ben Chukmuwa (Space Marines/Blood Angels), the Smelleys and the Pistoles for finishing a single point off.

Kudos to the community, as well: three teams cancelled at the last moment (one late Friday, two Saturday morning), yet enough players showed up in hope of playing that the event was still full, with late arrivals staying to play each other and even demo games for interested passersby/potential new hobbyists. It was a fun day of 40K.

Finally, thanks to Gunslinger Games for hosting and providing over $120 of prize support; look for Games Workshop to continue to increase it's presence at the store, based on the success of these events. More of which to come--watch adeptusnorthtexas.com for details!

V6 Combat Patrol Tourney at Gunslinger Games

Gunslinger Games hopes to recreate July's success by welcoming hobbyists to another opportunity to explore Warhammer 40,000 Sixth Edition Saturday, September 8 through a Combat Patrol Tournament--this one with an army composition upgrade offer!

As before, players may sign up in advance at Gunslinger Games by either paying a $5 entry fee or making a $10 or more purchase; players may sign up on the day of the event for a $10 entry fee or by making a $10 or more purchase if slots remain. The event will run from Noon until approximately 4:30pm.

Combat Patrol forces are traditionally 400-point-maximum, no Allies armies chosen from one in-print 40K Codex which *must* have at least one core Troops choice; the remainder of the Force Org can be chosen from a maximum of one HQ choice (maximum 2 Wounds, no 2+ Saves), vehicles with a maximum AV of 34 (adding Front, Rear and Side Armour [once]), and additional units of choice which do not exceed 2 Wounds and do not include 2+ Saves. A Combat Patrol Commander figure must be identified; this will be the HQ choice if taken, or a unit leader or other readily identifiable model, otherwise.

Because codices--and in fact the core rules themselves--have undergone considerable revision since Combat Patrol tournament limitations were originally conceived, players may, for this event, alter the above-described traditional force composition in the following way: each player may select one character or unit for their Combat Patrol which exceeds Combat Patrol limitations--but the character or unit will operate for the duration of the tourney under said limitations. In other words--players may select, and pay the full codex points cost for, one character or unit which has more than 2 Wounds, but that character or all models in that unit will play at the event with a maximum of 2 Wounds (simulating pre-existing injury or debilitation); players may select, and pay the full codex points cost for, one character or unit which has a 2+ Save, but that character or all models in that unit will play at the event with a maximum of a 3+ Save (simulating armour breakdown or wear-and-tear); and players may select, and pay the full codex points cost for, a single vehicle which exceeds the maximum AV of 34, but that vehicle will play at the event with AV values of 12/12/10 or 13/11/10, whichever most closely approximates its actual AV (simulating sustained damage to the vehicle prior to battle). Most players will, of course, not opt to play these more expensive characters, units and vehicles at less than their peak efficiency, but for those whose particular codex dramatically limits their options--or who are willing to suffer the on-table penalty in order to field an army more consistent with their theme and vision--this twist offers considerable flexibility. Further exceptions to the standard Combat Patrol force composition limitations are possible but must be approved by the Event Moderator via the Adeptus North Texas emailing list in advance (the only likely candidate which occurs at time of this writing would be a player wishing to take an HQ choice in Tactical Dreadnought Armour with the special ability to then turn a squad of Terminators into a Troops choice, and thus field a Patrol of all Terminators, and something like this, being obviously thematic and cool, would likely receive a waiver allowing the second exceptional unit--but they would all be operating for the tourney with 3+ effective Saves, so said player is really going to have to like playing his Terminators...).

Chosen HQ choices will be able to roll on the Warlord chart for this event if ordinarily eligible to do so. Fortifications may be chosen for this event as part of the player's 400 point force, as per V6 rules. The Fortifications are not subject to the AV limit.

Participating players must have at least two printed, legible and accurate Army Lists with their names on the List, one of which will be turned in to the moderator for verification, table and opponent assignment before the first round begins. This was an area of considerable non-compliance in July; please take the time to complete this participation requirement for the September 8 event.

Models must be primarily Citadel miniatures, fully assembled and properly, legally based; as an introduction to V6-oriented event, forces need not be fully painted *but* there will be a prize for the Best Painted Patrol and every effort will be made for players with painted armies to play opponents with painted armies.

The event will consist of three rounds, following this schedule:

12pm: Check-In/Army List Turn-In/Table Assignment
12:15-1:15pm: Round One
1:30-2:30pm: Round Two
2:45-3:45pm: Round Three
4-4:30pm: Announcement of Winners
Prizes will be awarded as soon as final scores are tallied.

Prizes will be awarded in the form of Gunslinger Games gift cards and entry fee waivers for future events!

Games between any players who are also participating in the North Texas Norh'Tek Nebula V6 Campaign will count extra, and have special campaign conditions in play.

Come spend an afternoon getting to know Warhammer 40,000 Sixth Edition Saturday, September 8 from Noon to 4:30pm, at Gunslinger Games' next V6 40K Combat Patrol Tourney! Commanders, choose your Patrols well!

Results: V6 Combat Patrol at Gunslinger Games

•Best General: Shane (Dark Eldar)

•Best Painted: Donny (Imperial Fists Space Marines)

•Best Sportsman: Shay (Orks)

Gunslinger Games Hosts Intro Warhammer Fantasy Tourney August 6th!

Gunslinger Games, 11110 Petal just off Jupiter/LBJ, will host a one-day, four-round Warhammer Fantasy Battles Tournament Saturday, August 6th, 2011 from 10am to 6pm. The event will be ideal for hobbyists new to Warhammer Fantasy--or to the Eighth edition ruleset--with its modest size armies and restrictions on magic, both casters and items, but is a themed event as well, and so should appeal to veterans of WHFB.

Officially titled 'The Boom in August,' the event has earned a subtitle, as well--'The Grudge in August.' This is because it will feed directly into an ensuing GsG event, a Warhammer Fantasy multiplayer megabattle themed directly on the Warhammer campaign The Grudge of Drong, and the infamous War of the Beard! To encourage interested players to begin building the relevant Dwarf and Elf armies which will form the core of the megabattle sequel...ANY player registering to play in 'The Boom (Grudge) In August' with either Dwarfs or High Elves will get a discount!

The specifics:

• Armies must not exceed 1300 total points
• Armies must be composed from the current (most recently published) Army Book
• Armies MAY NOT include Level 3 or higher spellcasters (or Runesmith equivalents)
• Powerscrolls, Folding Fortresses and Books of Hoeth may not be used
• Magic Items are limited to 2, maximum, with a combined total cost of 75 points or less ('magic items' also including magic banners, names, aspects, vampiric powers, runed items, daemonic gifts, etc)
• Painting WILL NOT be scored--'in progress' armies are welcome but should be tabletop-playable (ie, based, as WYSIWYG as possible, with no proxies)
• Sportsmanship WILL be scored (so come ready to have fun!)
• Printed, legible, legal Army Lists are required--bring one for yourself, and four for your opponents
• A master Army List must be submitted in advance to the moderator markalancox@hotmail.com with a subject heading indicating it is a list for the August 6 Tournament; these lists must be in one of the following formats: Word, Excel, PDF or Army Builder PDF. Lists turned in July 31, 2001 or earlier will accrue bonus Army List points (to allow the moderator to properly vet them, this is highly encouraged).

Tournament Entry Fee (which will go toward Tournament prizes!) is $10--or $8 for any player participating with either Dwarfs or High Elves! Further, any participant in 'The Boom (Grudge) in August' playing either Dwarfs or High Elves will be automatically registered to participate in the Grudge of Drong megabattle. This is a great opportunity--even if neither Dwarfs nor High Elves are your primary army--to put the contents of the previous edition starter box Battle of Skull Pass or the current edition starter box Blood Island to work creating a Dwarf or High Elf army for not one but TWO future events. AND--the megabattle will incorporate all the Storm of Magic rules, allowing the fielding of vast monsters and monumental magicks to impact events!

Gunslinger Games 'The Boom (Grudge) in August' Schedule:

9:30--Registration and Table Assignments
10:00-11:30--Game One
11:30-12:30--Lunch Break
12:30-2:00--Game Two
2:00-2:30--Break
3:30-4:00--Game Three

Players must register as a two-person Doubles Team for the event, splitting their 2000-point total allotment into allied armies with no more than 400 points difference between the 'halves' (ie, the most one player can field is 1200 points, the least 800). Players may 'marvel team-up' any armies in the 40K universe, but bonus points can be scored for background convincingly explaining the 'joint action' in the Doubles Team's *required* printed army list submission. One Force Org chart for the entire 2000 point joint army list will apply *except* that each 'half' must include an HQ and TROOPS mandatory choice.

Play will begin each day at 12:30pm, featuring two games of 2.5 hours duration each; Saturday night will include open gaming featuring an optional multiplayer megabattle in the new game facility. Each Doubles Team will be collectively scored for Generalship (game results, special objectives accomplished), Appearance (painting/basing/conversion), Army List (background, artistic list presentation, accuracy) and Sportsmanship (in-game conduct/sportingness of army composition).

Prizes will be awarded for Best Joint Command (best Overall Doubles Team), Most Marvel-ous Team-Up (winningest team/generalship); and The Brave & The Bold (best background/list explaining/justifying the team). Most Dysfunctional (the 'two-generals-equal-no-generals' award) will also be in play.

Registration is strictly by Doubles Team, must be done *in person* at Madness by at least one team member, and is first-come/first-served at Madness Games & Comics in Plano.

Another 40K Doubles Team tournament is an event the North Texas community has requested, and Madness has the new play space to accommodate it comfortably, with large tables and plentiful room. Find your 'perfect team-up'...and get signed up today!
