October 12 Comic Asylum 40K Tournament
Fall 2013 40K Escalation League
Fall 2013 40K Escalation League play will begin in September and run through December 14th. Games begin at 500 Point Adepticon Combat Patrols, then become standard Force Org and increase by 250 points every two weeks up to 2000 points. December 14th there will be a Mega Battle held and prizes awarded, provided by organizers dfw40k.com, for the Top Three Generals, the Best Painted Army and the MVPs from each side of the Mega Battle, as voted on by the league participants.
There will also be random drawings at each point level for players who report for small prizes, including dfw40k.com tape measures.
Rules and Info (these are the exact same rules as originally created for the Summer 2013 League):
SCORING:
Each participant will play 2 games at the specified point level against 2 different opponents. A win is worth 4 points, a draw 3 points, and a loss 2 points. Subtract one point if your army is not fully painted (painted bases optional) for that battle. Games missed at one point level can be made it up at the next level (so if you aren't able to find 2 games at 750pts you can play 4 at 1000pts for example).
RULES:
Any Games Workshop published army lists are allowed, including Forgeworld and White Dwarf lists and units that have been updated to 6th edition (except super-heavies and other Apocalypse scale units). If in doubt please contact league organizer Matt Plummer.
All models should be WYSIWYG, especially conversions, but do not have to be all ForgeWorld or Citadel miniatures.
Each player should bring a copy of their army list to the game for their opponent.
All results should be reported to the league organizer and include point level, the names of both players, the results (who won/who lost), the mission and deployment type, and your army list (there should be a report for
each battle from both players).
COMBAT PATROL RULES (Modified from Adepticon):
• Armies will consist of 500 points or less, and must conform to the following Force Organization restrictions:
⇒ 0 - 1 HQ
⇒ 1 - 3 Troops (you MUST bring at least one Troop choice)
⇒ 0 - 1 Elite
⇒ 0 - 1 Fast Attack
⇒ 0 - 1 Heavy Support
⇒ 0 - 1 ‘Swing Slot’ (this maybe be used to field one additional Troops, Elite, Fast Attack OR Heavy Support choice)
• Armies are not required to take mandatory unit choices. All other unit restrictions (i.e. 0 - 1) apply.
• You may spend remaining points on units from anywhere in the Codex.
• No Special/Unique/Named Characters are allowed.
• As only one HQ is available, Allies are not allowed.
• With the exception of Troops and models with the Swarm USR, No model can have more than 2 Wounds.
• Aside from Troops choices and dedicated Transports, only vehicles with a maximum of 11 in any armor facing may be taken. Dedicated transports and troops may have a maximum armor facing of 12. Vehicle Squadrons and Artillery units are permitted provided every unit within the unit individually would be permitted. Vehicle upgrades that increase an armor facing may only raise the armor value to a maximum of 12 (this includes Necron Quantum Shielding).
•Rules Modification (Psykers): All Psykers may use ONE Warp Charge per game turn. Psykers may exchange powers as normal.
•Rules Modification (Flyers/Reserves): At the start of your Turn One, and each turn thereafter, you must roll a D6 for each Flyer being held in reserve. If the roll is 3 or more, the Flyer and all embarked units arrive at the start of the following turn. Flyers and all embarked units will automatically arrive at the start of Turn Five. Example: On Turn Three, a Necron Night Scythe with troops makes a successful Reserve Roll - they will arrive on Turn Four. There is no need to make a Reserve Roll at the beginning of Turn Four, as all remaining Flyers and embarked units will automatically show up at the beginning of Turn Five.
Good luck, aspiring commanders!

Used Game Swap & Sale at Gunslinger Games
Gunslinger Games will hold its third Game Swap Saturday, August 17--and add a sale of Warhammer 40K and other RPG, board game, Citadel paint product, etc, at up to 40% off!
GsG encourages hobbyists to bring no-longer-used miniatures, board games, sci-fi & fantasy books--any game-related stuff--for direct trade or (if it meets quality restrictions) even store credit.
Apocalypse 40K Megabattle/Fundraiser for Alzheimers Research
On June 21, The Alzheimers Foundation will sponsor 'The Longest Day,' a worldwide event to raise funds for research to combat and eventually overcome this terrible scourge, which robs those stricken of their memories, their intellect, their essential selves. The Association encourages fundraisers to spend the longest day of the year doing something they love in the name of this cause, and Adeptus North Texas has formed a team to spend it playing Warhammer 40,000!
Gunslinger Games has graciously offered to open early and host a 40K Apocalypse Multiplayer Megabattle; play will begin at 10am June 21, and those who can are encouraged to be there for the pre-deployment preliminaries--but the game will run all day, with interested players able to arrive and join the fun as their Longest Day schedule allows.
There will be NO CHARGE to participate. There will be opportunities to join the cause, either as a Longest Day Adeptus North Texas Team Member, or as a supporter/contributor of the team, but the idea of the event is to make us all consider how diminished our life experience might be if a scourge like Alzheimers robbed us of the ability to engage in what we love, so any and every player will be welcome. Participants should bring what they wish to use in 'Apocalypse Blocks' of either 1) approximately 1000 Points of models from an inprint codex or army list or 2) an Apocalypse Datasheet Formation of approximately 1000 Points or 3) a single Apocalypse Superheavy or Gargantuan Creature. In the case of the latter, points values can obviously vary from less than 500 to more than 3000; bring what you want to play as your first 'Apocalypse Block' and we will work it in. In the case of Datasheet Formations, there is the potential for thousands of points, as well; have options for one or two 'Apocalypse Blocks,' but if you have all 7000 points of the Ultramarines first company to bring and sufficient opposition comes to play against it, we will put it on the table!
There will be prizes and incentives: everyone who contributes to the Alzheimers Association in support of the Adeptus North Texas Team will get one prize raffle entry, everyone who joins the Adeptus North Texas Team will get an additional raffle entry, everyone who joins as a member by June 7 and wears their purple Longest Day Tshirt to the event will get still another raffle entry; plus anyone who makes a GW purchase--instock or special order--from Gunslinger Games between now and June 21 (including the day of the event) and brings their receipt on the day will get a raffle entry, and anyone who brings a fully-painted terrain piece to battle over on the day of the event will get a raffle entry! Prizes will be supplied by Games Workshop, Gunslinger Games and Adeptus North Texas and may not be fully known until event day--but will definitely include at least one no-longer-in-print Black Library Limited Edition volume!
To join the Adeptus Team, go to:
http://thelongestday.alz.org/home/team/93722
If you wish to become a (fully-tax-deductible) Team member, use the code FRIEND for a $10 discount; if you do this before June 7 you should get your team member package including your purple Tshirt to wear on the day in plenty of time.
More details about the scenario for the event, etc, will be forthcoming; Apocalypse as a game system is due for a new-edition makeover imminently, so this will be a 'last hurrah' for the sort of multiplayer megabattle action which has given North Texas so much hobby pleasure over the years. If you can, muster June 21 to Gunslinger Games and play 40K for a worthy cause. Celebrate 'The Longest Day' doing something you love!
Warhammer 40,000 North Texas Summer Escalation League
Players across the Metroplex are invited to build a 6th edition Warhammer 40,000 army via the North Texas Summer Escalation League!
League Organizer Edward McDaniel invites interested hobbyists to join by emailing emcdaniel@gmail.com with their name, army (plus allies) and preferred play location. Participants will be tracked via the League dedicated Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/322315597863267/ with details also maintained through Adeptus North Texas and it's emailing list http://www.adeptusnorthtexas.com.
Play will begin at 500 points using Combat Patrol Force Org May 18 through the end of May. June 1 armies increase to 750 points and Standard Force Org. June 15 the army points increase to 1000; June 29 to 1250 points; July 13 to 1500 points; July 27 to 1750 points; and August 10 thru the end of the summer 2000 points.
A climactic 2000 point Tournament will conclude the Escalation League the weekend of August 24 & 25, which will include voting by participants for such things as Best Painted Army and Best Model (converted and painted). Details regarding the culminating event will be posted separately once the League is underway.
Each player will attempt to record 2 battles at each army points level. The games must be against 2 different opponents to count. A win is worth 4 League points, a Draw 3, and a Loss 2. Play with unfinished/unpainted armies IS legal (opponent willing), but playing with an unfinished army subtracts -1 League point from that player's total. Players who do not get both games in at a League point level can make those games up in subsequent weeks (to accommodate vacations and other unforeseen absences without discouraging players from continuing to participate).
ANY published Games Workshop army list is allowed, including Forge World book variants and White Dwarf article lists, so long as the list and it's units are updated to 6th edition (Apocalypse/super-heavy units are not legal except for League-related Apocalypse special events).
Games may be played at any location--a participating North Texas retailer or your own or a buddy's home--but results must be reported to League Organizer McDaniel to be verified and count.
Battle Reports to the League Organizer should include:
-Both Player Names
-Result
-Point Level
-Mission and Deployment
-Army Lists used
All models must be WYSIWYG, especially in the case of conversions, but are not restricted by manufacturer beyond that.
Each player should have their published army list source readily available, a printed, accurate and legible army list (and preferably one for their opponent).
Rulebook page 118 should be referred to for Missions, Terrain and Deployment.
The opening Combat Patrol Rules will not be the standard Adeptus North Texas variant but rather a modified Adepticon version; contact League Organizer for details.
The League will utilize Adeptus North Texas, it's emailing list, and it's Facebook page to develop and recognize other aspects of the Hobby, like the creation of interesting continuing characters to lead players' armies and the composing of fiction to add depth and colour to the stories played out in League games; and there will be several events throughout the summer of extra added value to League participants.
Best of all--playing in the League costs nothing beyond enthusiasm and good sportsmanship!
Email League Organizer McDaniel today, and muster your forces--a new army awaits you by the end of summer 2013, through participation in the Warhammer 40,000 North Texas Summer Eacalation League!
