Ideas for 2015 Millennium Events

[grubnards]

Per Smitty from the Da Boyz forums.... Feel free to bring up ideas for next weekend but keep this thread on track. If you want to discuss community involvement do so on the ongoing thread started by Hyv3 or post on Smitty's original thread.


Hey guys please bring feed back on events you would like run next year to the invitational on the 13th. I will bring a draft with me based on this:
January: (typically small pt event) Also this will be on the
February: Adepticon Team Tourney Primer
March:?
April: escalation or ard boyz?
May:
June:
July:
August:
Sept:
Oct: Da Boyz Primer
Nov: No Event
December: Invitational (special missions, painting and comp)

Last year out of the 11 events we ran: (yes some events fell in multiple categories)
3 with no painting
1 escalation/ forgeworld
1 forgeworld & 30k
1 Team tourney
5 or 6 with no comp
5 or 6 with comp

Things to think about besides event format:
Limit or unlimited data slates?
How many sources?
Types of missions?
Allies, yes, no, some?
Escalation?
30K?
Point Levels?

Thanks guys

Beef'n Wing Primer
Highlander Event
Sideboard?

As far as Forgeworld and 30k I would say if it is 40k approved we should allow it but 0-1. The REAL question is do we want to allow FW army lists like Lost and the Damned, Badab War, Necron Harvest. I'm all about opening it up as much as possible.

Who suggested to make a list and your opponent plays it. I think it would be fun

Challenge Tournament - let people pair themselves freely first round, losers get first pick second round, matching records pair themselves 3rd round.

Escalation - not the expansion but progressive points increases each round. Could be 4 rounds if you start 200/500 range.

Good guys vs bad guys - like we did when the last chaos codex was released. Maybe allow pre-reg so people can see the distribution of faction.

Sideboard event - 1500 core with 2-3 500pt sideboards to choose from (this would be good for non comp, non painting to allow people to try many combos the same day).

Sources - I'm biased towards 3+/unlimited because of personal concepts id like to explore. If you're worried about abusive combos, make these events less points. 1250 with unlimited sources is pretty reasonable.

I won't be able to make Feb due to valentines, and maybe march due to the earlyness of Easter this year.

I like 33/33/33 events but B&W primer may satisfy that. I'm OK (yes Nogle) with FW and 30k in any/all events if enforcement is solid on actual models and rules presence. I'd like to see more maelstrom missions and fewer 6th Ed recycled missions. 1-2 highlander events with different points levels, but equal amount of non comp, no opponent scored comp/sports so Neil and I can spam out hearts out.

Anyways, together we'll have more ideas than we have months but I defer all preferences to whatever brings out the most people. I'd rather play a format I don't like and see 24 happy players than play my favorite format with only 8 participants.

Kevin, just to update your 2014 list for completeness:

FW (4 tournies): March (adepticon team primer), May (2k), August (Brawl primer), September (DaBoyz GT primer)

30K (2) - June + August


Since I won blood brother I have to help Craig run the Brawl this year, so I would figure I'll be involved with a primer if we get to do it again in Rochester


Also what's the date for January? I know there is a big Magic release that month and it seems on the above list that there is a change of date, but the line ends
