GW's Desert Con 07 in January

[Wolflord Patrick]

Hey All,
There is a tournament going on out here in AZ in January if anyone is interested in making the trip for a weekend. Feel free to check out the web site with all the info at: http://www.desertcon.com/

By the way, from the looks of it a few S.D. gamers have already regiestered. (I just regiestered myself a little bit ago)

Hope to see you guys out here for the event!

Here are their posted rules for the 40K event:



64 OPEN SLOTS

BASIC RULES

The Warhammer 40k 4th Edition Rules will be used.

Player's armies will be 1,850 points and must occupy a standard force organization.

Rules and Army Lists marked as "Trial", "Optional", or "Opponent's Permission" are not allowed. In addition, the following are NOT legal for the 40k Championship Tournament: Cursed Chapter Marines, Tyranid Seeding Swarms, Minor Psychic Powers (any variation).

Specific zone fighting rules will NOT be in effect - including Jungle fighting and City fighting.

Imperial Armor units (but not army lists) may be used with the following exceptions: Flyers, Super Heavies, Super Heavy Fliers, Tyranid Monstrosities, or anything with Mass Points are NOT allowed. If you choose to use Imperial Armor units, a copy of the used rules must be submitted to judges AND made available to all opponents with your exchanged lists.

Special Characters are allowed, assuming that they are playable at 1,850 pts.

The models used in your army must be Games Workshop Miniatures and they MUST all be fully painted. Any army with one unpainted model will be awarded a "0" score for appearance.

What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). If you wish to use an item, it must be represented on the figure.

You must provide a copy of your own rules (which include the actual Codex used for your army), dice, templates, pen/pencil, calculator, or anything else you'll need during the course of regular play. This include a copy of your complete army list for the judges AND all three of your opponents. If you do not have a list for your opponents to keep (not just review), they will be instructed to inform judges whom will score your theme and selection scores with a "0".

Any future units/rules presented in White Dwarf will be addressed by judges and their use in the tournament outlined on the http://www.desertcon.com website.

All 40k Championship missions shall be considered "Standard".

All 40k Championship missions shall be considered "Eye Of Terror" enabled.

All rulings of tournament judges and DesertCon officers are final.

All the events are GW events, however it is being put together by the local Phoenix area game stores.

I signed up for this.
I hope I can still make it down.

[Wolflord Patrick]

Well, it looks like this event has been canceled... I paid $30 online yesterday and registered for this, and today I got my $30 refunded back to me.

Bill, you might want to look into this as well and see if you can get your money back if the event has been canceled.

[elotsip]

Thanks for the heads up, i'll do that.

I just tried the link x2 and got the "forbidden" page...

[elotsip]

I spoke to Dean. He will be refunding my money as well.

[Wolflord Patrick]

Glad to hear that.... If anyone has a way of getting a hold of Jeff Vaca he needs to do the same. I noticed that his name was on the registered list as well.
