Today something a little Different. Its a list of 8 tournaments I'm hoping to make to it too over the next 12 Months.
C4 - Central Coast Corsairs Cup
Location: Tuggerah, NSW
Points: 1500
Days: 1
Games: 4
Approx Players: 30-35
Army I'm Taking: Space Wolves - Grey Hunter Pack
This is a local tournament run by a rival war gaming club. Should be a fun and fairly relaxed day. However this is one of the first opportunities of the year where players can qualify for high lords and with the new nids dex out this may get a little competitive.
RATING 2/5 - Its an average local tournament, fun but no big deal to skip.
Battle in the Vines
Location: Greta, NSW
Points: 2000
Days: 2
Games: 5
Approx Players: 40-50
Army I'm Taking: Space Marine Battle Company
This is a tournament that people either prepare for all year or that they just take what ever they have painted to. This is unique in NSW as the only tournament of this scale. It takes serious preparation to do well. Build and start painting a list well in advance that you can easily swap units and upgrades in and out of as the meta game changes.
After last year I can say that a tray to carry your army around on and CLEAR squad markings are vital. The first makes it easy to pack up, deploy and move your army about, the second stops the confusion that sets in when most games have a bare minimum of 100 models on the board and some upwards of 200.
RATING 5/5 full marks.
Unnamed Gosford Good Games Tournament
Location: Gosford, NSW
Points: Unknown
Days: Unknown
Games: Unknown
Approx Players: 20-24
Army I'm Taking:Unknown
My local store is teasing there will be a tournament held to fill the 3 month gap between BIV and LOT. Nothing had been made public yet.
Lords of Terra
Location: North Sydney, NSW
Points: 1750
Days: 2
Games: 5
Approx Players: 60-80
Army I'm Taking:Unknown
This is the only event to include both an invitational and open tournament. To qualify players need to finish in the top 10% of a tournament (if there are 19 players only 1st will qualify) or be in the top 10 for any of rankings (http://www.gosfordgamers.net/ATR/index.htm).
My second at coastal assault was enough to qualify my this year. This tournament is highly competitive. In the invitational players are trying their hardest against the best players in Australia and New Zealand, in the open players see the absence of the top 10% of gamers as a great opportunity to win a tournament.
RATING 4/5
Mother of All Battles
Location: Sutherlund, NSW
Points: 1250
Days: 3
Games: 11
Approx Players: 20-40
Army I'm Taking: Marines, unless guard are up to scratch
This is another tournament that stands out. 11 games over 3 days. You will get to play short, fast games against a variety of opponents and armies. Last year I had an unfortunate draw of 3 Nid armies and 1 space marines day 1, 3 space marines and 1 guard day 2, and 3 tau on day 3. Hoping to get more variety this year. This tournament is a real endurance test. My tip is take an army you can play in your sleep because on day three you might be.
RATING 5/5
Coastal Assault
Location: Gosford, NSW
Points: 1500
Days: 1
Games: 4
Approx Players: 20-25
This is the tournament that got me into High Lords of Terra and its at my local store.
RATING 3/5
Gosford Shield
Location: North Sydney, NSW
Points: 1250
Days: 1
Games: 4
Approx Players: 20-40
After gosford hobbies decided it would no longer support war gaming this tournament was picked up by the central coast corsairs, although there were a few minor admin issues in getting it set up is was still a fun day.
2/5
Can Con
Location: Canberra, ACT
Points: 1750
Days: 3
Games: 8
Approx Players: 90-100
Army I'm Taking: There will be 2 new codexes out by then. To early to tell
