Proxy rules will be using the Chicago standard. IE You may proxy one unreleased model per round. If the model is common or Rare X you may proxy more then one of that model. Proxies must be painted and must represent the proxy model accurately. You must also create a 3x5 index card for each proxy model(including multiple of the same model). All proxies must be approved by the TO before the tourney begins. Special rule: Proxy avatars. For this tournament Avatar proxies are excluded from the rules above. So you may proxy an Avatar as well as one other unreleased minion. For this tournament any avatar may be proxied (even those released during Gencon since not everyone was able to go). You still need to create a 3x5 card or cards with your rules. Avatars that just become larger versions of themselves may be proxied putting a 50mm base under the model.

Trag Sifarin Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Put me down. What is the ruling on using models not out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Put me down. What is the ruling on using models not out yet? For Book 2 models I am going with my generic proxy rule which is you may proxy one model(or group of same models) per round. Proxies must be recognizable as the model they are replacing, so you can't say a Lego Santa is the Molly Squidpidge. For Book 3, I am gonna make an official ruling as soon as I can see the book and get an idea of what is in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extro Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi Nilus, I am from Northern Illinois and would like to join in. Please add my name to the list! Thank you, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acefisher1 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Bring the wife along. Nothing says romance like a room full of sweaty gamers moving toy soldiers around for 6+ hours Oh I assure you, if i'm there she will be as well. She has one crew at the moment and is working on her second. Not sure if she'll want to play though. Not really into the competitive scene. She's more of the hobbyist than player.

nilus Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Bump and updates 1) Increased the entry fee to $10. Means a bit better gift certificates at the end of the tourney 2) There will be a painting contest for the best painted single mini 3) Proxy rules added. For normal unreleased minions we will use the limit 1 rule. You may only proxy 1 model each round(or multiple of the same model). Avatars are excluded from that though, I am allowing Avatar proxies for any Avatar even ones technically released at Gencon. Also allowing people to simple proxy Avatars(IE drop a 50mm base under your master to represent they are an Avatar now). Multi-model Avatars will need model to represent there other parts though. Basically I want people to try Avatars this tourney and have fun. After this one they will probably fall under the standard proxy rules but I am doing something a little different for this post Gencon tourney.

Fetid Strumpet Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hey Nilus, what's the painting requirement for the Tourney? My crews are currently all painted, but with the stuff coming in from Gen Con I need to prioritize my painting schedule to make sure I have what I need done. Thanks.

nilus Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 No painting requirement for this(I don't generally do them for local tournies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilus Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Added, I should also note I raised the stone count to 35 stones on request as well. Shouldn't really change much for anyone but I know some people want the extra buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersoxette Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 We'll (semanticdm and I) be there in spirit! Too bad you guys aren't hosting this the next weekend, we may have been able to attend. Could we convince someone to have their stuff and come Sunday the 28th so we could visit on our way home?
