You wish! Too many wrist strains from rolling dice eh?

(P.S. I updated it above ...good call)

Yup that's it, .....

ahem, rolling dice.

dont forget that there is a Painting Contest at Game 07.

http://game07.game-host.org/viewtopic.php?id=56

Taken from the Game 07 website

Painting Contest Categories
1. Standard Size (U18 & 18+)
A single, roughly human sized figure, in 20-30 mm scale. Also very large figures of smaller scales. Large figures in these scales (tanks, Warjacks, giants et al) should be placed in category 3.

2. Small Size (U18 & 18+)
A single figure or stand of figures in scales below 20mm. Large figures in this scale (e.g. Epic Titans) should be entered into category 1.

3. Large Scale (U18 & 18+)
A single figure of larger than 30mm scale. Also large figures of smaller scales. Can include tanks etc.

4. Diorama (U18 & 18+)
Does what it says on the tin. No larger than one foot in any dimension (imagine we are placing in a cubic box of side one foot). This should include at least two figures and some background terrain. Conversions are encouraged. Any scale can be used.

5. Masters (all ages)
Our top level competition. This category is completely open, though please keep in mind the practicality of your entry (so no 52mm scale Imperator Titans, or 1:1 models of Norwegian Ice-Breakers for example!) Conversions and scratch building are actively encouraged. Bases should show some modelling work. Display plinths are strongly encouraged. Convention staff are allowed to enter this category.

Needing to finalise the rules pack on this before the event. Just got the quote in for the trophies here and its not cheap but they are going to be cut glass so making it a bit special.

There are a few changes to the rules. They are as follows
This will be a TR 110 tournament. This means you may build your team with 1,100,000 Gold Coins
The Illegal Procedure rule will only be used if both Coaches agree to use it before the game
The 4 minute rule will not be in effect. Although if game is not complete after 2 hours both teams will be allowed to even up number of turns they have taken and then the result will stand as it is after this round.
Be prepared to share your dice and throw/scatter templates if your opponent has not got any.

Star Players:
No Star players/ wizards/ inducements allowed. With exception of stunty teams who can take 1 star player each and Halflings may hire a master chef at LRB5 prices.

Apothecaries:
It has been asked for a clarification on Apothecaries for this tournament. For this tournament if an Apothecary is used re-roll results on injury table if roll is 2 - 9 player is placed in the reserves box. If the roll is 10 -12 players is placed in the BH box. A coach may use an Apothecary roll when ever he deems fit to do so even if player is only KO’d by original injury roll.

Stunty Cup:
For those of you that haven't heard of it yet the Stunty Cup runs 'inside' other tournaments and is simply there to give the stunty coaches something to aim for with the Cup going to the highest placed stunty team. There is much honour at stake and it turned out to be pretty entertaining. And there's a website (www.stuntycup.co.uk)
OK Official Stunty teams allowed are:
Halflings
Goblins
Ogres
Lizardmen (Exception to standard Cockerel will only Count as a Stunty Team if it consists of all Skinks and 1 Kroxigor)

I would support Blood Bowl of course However you could always get a few Warmachine friendly games in as well. Or play first day in Blood Bowl. If you do well stay in, if not drop and play warmachine. You could still win the Painting Prize of a spot prize or two for competing!
