That army would score you in at a 17 Comp out of 20. 'Standard' armies are expected to score 16-18 so you'd be right in the groove.

The system is here:...

All Astronomi-con events are 1500 points.

Clay details it elsewhere. He clearly didn't 'spam' anything though. His comp score would have been either an 18 or a 19 (depending on how he bought some...

Really?

I wonder how Mike Sanford managed third overall (and only by a couple of points) with only a single Land Raider then? Honestly if you want to talk logical fallacies, well, you might want...

As mentioned in the thread above, the trophy budget for a single event is roughly $800.00. That data slate is also huge, weighs more than a FW Thunderhawk and lights up.





Care to post your...

Strange. Maybe it's just me but FAQ doesn't suggest authority at all. Just an offering of useful information which is not at all the same thing. Errata - now that suggests authority.

The other...

Lucius pattern I believe, yes. I've yet to see one show up in a game although I hear tell that someone is making one for Winnipeg this year. We'll see if it's all talk or not (they are larger than...

So how YOU choose to define a term, despite flying in the face of what the people who wrote the thing SAID in plain English is more valid? Let me try quoting this for you once again.

The FAQs on...

Of course it does. It is okay to admit being wrong occasionally. Hell I am more than I'd like.



So if the majority of people start playing that every time a model gets removed from the table...

Thankfully GW clarifies that nicely right on their own website. See above.

Oh you need not take my word for it. Read it for yourself.

Also if you read the credits on the FAQs you...

Not a bit of it.

The FAQs are not rules as anything. They are unofficial entirely (and say so clearly in their introduction). They are just someone's house rules. Nothing more. Placing them on the...

I guess we're fortunate then, we don't see that kind of behaviour on the sportsmanship side. Mind you - the double lashies DO get kind of hammered on. Quite hard in fact.

I wish I was surprised by...

We wanted to use the FAQs, actually - and have gone through them line by line several times over the years - each and every one, comparing them to the Codices and to the rules.

Only about 60% of...

Been there, done that. Oh my yes. In fact experiences exactly like this is precisely why we created Astronomi-con. In fact, it's also the reason that the Comp score is completely transparent,...

Nah. In this case it's just what happens when someone posts a link to this thread on my Facebook status.

I was actually trying to log onto my other BoLS account through Facebook but for the life...

It has an element of that to be sure but it has never been all about that and only that. I've spent a lot of time with folks who write for GW (and count some of them as friends). While it is a job,...

Well except for Armorcast there weren't any Titans back then. And very few flyers too. I did have a Land Raider but I didn't bring it.

Let's see...

There was a Chaplain, a Commander with...

I agree with you in principle. The difficulty is what you can do in practice. In any kind of large event you have to first notice the problem, which means going by the table when some kind of...

Well, that was an interesting read.

It displays something which is often seen, but seldom realized fully - that there are a great many different kinds of GW players. Some play for the game, some...
