![]() Masters tournament at Area51 February 9 at 1pm; registration opens at 11:30 Steamroller 2013 Master scenarios and rules: http://privateerpress.com/files/Masters_2013_Rules.pdf Deathclock timers Players required to use three 50pt character restricted lists with the Divide and Conquer list variant. $10 entry fee (all going to first/second/third place prize support) This is the masters format used in many national tournaments. Give deep thought to your lists and bring your 'A' game because you'll need it against the brutal players we have in North Texas. Deployment will be done separate to deathclock and I will drop the green flag to start each round. Rounds will be dependent upon participants Bring your phones/devices to use as deathclock timers. I will have iPhone chargers available for use. Recommended app for iPhones (free): iGameClock. I encourage non-veteran players to give this a shot, but only if you have a BIG pair. Every victory should be a point of pride. Edited by apollosun, Jan 28 2013, 11:18 PM.

I think you are underestimating both Gorten and Madhammer. Madhammer can most definitely harm Rahn and Gorten can most definitely close the distance, or just out-shoot you. |

no, i mean immunity to AoE is a great strength of ours. eVyros is my goto anti-legion list. i haven't played against egoreshade in a while, but both vyros and evyros have beaten up on elylyth and ekaya for me quite well. It's not my biggest concern, it's just a weakness for which there isn't really a counter. kae does indeed counter it, but she is our weakest caster, and not terribly good at what she does. what's more, banshing ward doesn't dispel enemy spells, just enemy upkeeps, which is a shitsack for a dispel. (opinion, blah blah blah) soulless are perfectly fine attachments. it's too bad they cost 1 point for 1 model. they are simply too expensive for what they do when there are a dozen other things you want to take for the points they offer. when rolling against ekaya or elylyth, you take sentinels with vyros, or jacks with evyros, you keep big V near his aspis, and you roll on up. Pvyros delivers jacks quick as shit. E delivers infantry alive, and he ends up so much closer to you than you think he will. what's more, countering the big nasty feat becomes so much more viable when P vyros can simply beat kaya to death (with 3 focus to spare, no less) and evyros can feat a banshee to prevent spellcast by elylyth and engage (but not be engaged by) a ravagore that's just shot, preventing him from shooting again. Vyros is practically tailor made for that shit. |

TK + force hammer. then whatever is left of rahn's list beats you to death on the ground while he hides behind a wall, because you don't have reach and can only charge 7 inches. also he's a coward. also polarity shield. also force field. take your pick. |

I love you Nick ... you take the time to write stuff out. I think typical Ravyn stuff would Rape those damn dwarves more than the Rahn one discussed |

I don't think Rahn would like taking 2 boosted POW 14s and a boosted POW 15 to the face. Even behind walls Madhammer will probably still hit you, Madhammer hits def 22 on average on feat turn. Gorten's stuff won't be knocked down by Force Hammer and if you're casting TK and Force Hammer you better watch out for a Nyss/High Shield CRA or some such onto Rahn. It's all theorymachine, but if I had a choice of playing Rahn or Madhammer I'd choose Madhammer every time. Gorten is a different story, but I don't think it is that bad of a matchup (Gorten is mainly for the Ravyn matchup, because he really doesn't care if you hit him with POW 10s. |

Don, let's make that Zach thing a bet? You take Zach, I'll bet on Tobin, and we'll owe each other a round (at the next con) based on which of those two gladiators has the best record. Both have similar "Cygnarian" play styles. |

Anyone want to take my "Hoff makes top three" bet? Hot dice might hide his sloppy list building. We all know how janky those Cygnar lists of his are. He never does well with them and has made poor showings in most tourneys when using Cygnar. It's an easy bet against him ... Any takers? |
