Hello, Hoping to be there for the event, but I'm curious if GW models are required for the 8th Edition Events? I'd like to bring a Samurai Empire Army, and other than the flock and fully painted requirements don't see anything one way or the other on Models alllowed. Didn't want to step on anyone's toes if GW models are required... ----------Talusmouse, the models only need to be fully painted and flocked. No restrictions on manufacturers.

I'd like to bring a Samurai Empire Army Sweet jimminy! We're brothers in arms.www.warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php/topic,49477 FYI:I brought my Nippon/Cathay army to Da Boyz 2 or 3 years ago, it went over well. I don't want to speak out of turn, but I think the non-GW models thing would be fine.

Yes Coleman above is the TO for the 8th event, and I run the show overall. Non GW minis are quite fine. Do what you can to make it clear to your opponent what things are.
Will didn't you bring an one page guide with pics to help people identify what was what with your army? 8th ed Fantasy registrations were my early leader but are now starting to lag behind other systems. Get them in guys I want this to be the biggest Da Boyz 8th ed event since 2014.

Sorry to short change it by calling it a one pager. It was a thing of beauty as I recall. Will can tell you if it helped his opponents or not. You may not need 8 pages professionally printed. But if most of your units are minis folks may not recognize a single page key with pictures and the unit type may help.

Yeah. It helped my opponents... I gave them full rules and all my stats and all my spells. Maybe it helped them a bit too much But most importantly: It helped us both have an enjoyable game.
The last thing I want is to play a good, fun, mostly competitive tight game and have the "Sound Byte" and/or "Take Away" be: I thought those were Swordsmen, not Greatswords or I never would have charged them. etc. Also, yes, it was a thing of beauty Gary. Thanks for the holler! I plan on bringing similar collateral to Da Boyz again this year. Pull out all the stops so to speak. I'm no GMM Studios, but... I like to do something cool and fun and memorable and new each year.

I saw GMM's undead board with the human sized skeleton chair at Buckeye Battles a few years ago. Unbelievable in person. Would like to get him out for Da Boyz this year.

FYI: Look up his Maori Ogre project, WIP. Like whoa. GMM is still doing lots of stuff on square bases, ergo, he is our ally.

Heads up folks I have five registered for 8th Ed right now the sooner we get registrations in the better my negotiation position is with sponsors. Last minute sign ups makes it very hard to get stuff from sponsors for players and just as hard for me to purchase trophies effectively.

Gary - is Kevin KevinC the 8th Edition Rules Master? If so, what units would be allowed for the 8th edition escalatino tourney? I am assuming: Anything published on this here forum? i.e. Tomb King Scorpion Chariots - Y or N? i.e. Beastmen Tzaangor SkyFires - Y or N? etc.
