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).

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.

The "Gathering of Heroes" will be a two-sided campaign game, with a maximum of five players per side, ten players total. Entry fee for the event is $35. This entry fee covers not only participation but also prizes (including door prizes), gift grabbags and a lunch.

- 1500 point maximum for each player.
- At least one named character in each army.
- NO Fortifications, due to constraints of the Campaign which will be made evident in the course of play.
Players will be expected to provide an accurate, legible army list legal to the above specifications, their source codex/army list and other rulebooks, dice, tape measure and any other items needed for their army. They will receive the campaign story packet on the day of the event.

Good luck to those 40K commanders who opt to report for the "Gathering of Heroes!"

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!
