I was just reading through the players pack and it says "Coaches are allowed to use minis from Games Workshop or any other range"
Is this really the case? I thought the rule for GW events was usually that only GW minis are allowed... I hope what it says is true though, that would be really good, means I can use my new shadowforge team  |

| I must admit - it's a good step if it's true and not just an oversight from what Games Village / Doubleskulls / Elan have given them. |

Talked to Andrew Long - it is true (you can bring non-GW minis). It's the only games system they are making that caveat on.
Which is a very positive move.
I'm keen to know who's going. I want a good representation there. That way, we might be able to get one happening in Sydney/get them to stock BB models/support BB more!
And I heard that in July's White Dwarf there's a 2 page ad for it - with a BB logo and it clearly advertised. |

Sorry for the delay in response - but YES - NO mini range restriction - you can field non-GW figures!!!
I laid this on GW as a precondition due to the GW non-support of the game in Oz and the use of non_GW figures by lots of players. The agreed without bloodshed. I was almost disappointed. So bring out your Shadowforge, Phils Phigs CLick-game plastics (I have seen a real nice necro team done that way) and so on.
One thing I would say tho - the comp rules are specific: all mini must be based, painted (the usual three colour rule), numbered and look like what is it supposed to be ... the Commissioners will knock back entry if this is not followed. So I really hope no-one does this.
The GamesVillage guys and I are going to try and make this an excellent event - so please all come down and play tough!!! |

Well, my entry has already been sent Elan, so I'll be there.
Woohoo - Chunkers is coming. I hope he remembers he owes me a beer!

Dan - for NAF's sake get your priorities right! BB comes first! Rugrats can be sold. I understand that they are the other other white meat and most asian food outlets prefer them to cats. Who knows, you may be able to get enough to afford the petrol for Chunkers to drive you! |

I found out some more information re why GW said YES to "use any models" - according to a friend here, another Games Club in Melbourne rang them before a previous event and advised them that prohibiting players who want to use non-GW figures is in breach of the Trade Practices Act. It apparently consititutes restrictive trade practices, as they are charging for the event ... my dim recollection os s52 of the Act says that this is likely the big reason behind GW agreeing to this ... something for all you would-be event organisers and players to remember!!!
And there I was that we had scored a coup! Ah well. |

SO - WHO IS COMING TO PLAY???
As per usual with the Melbourne Tourneys, there will be a nuetral Commissioner administering the system and ensuring that while the Tourney Organisers can play, they cannot be accused of cheating - and the Game Commissioner will be the one who provides game-by-game Commissioner rulings etc.
No-one will know who will get to play who until the day (its randomised so we can't fudge it) but I am hoping to play as many NAF and out-of-towners as I can ... so, again - who is coming?
I am really looking forward to this one! Should be a blast that I hope to see provide Melbourne with an ongoing mid-year tourney open to all comers ... even Sydney-siders! There will also be a Saturday night dinner, voluntary attendance, on Lygon Street, which will help me celebrate my big 40 which is a few days later ... so come along and beat up on the old bald guy! |
