Hey guys Gary No here the TO for Da Boyz. As many of you know I have taken over for Brian Moyer who has moved to California. I'm really excited to see theses lists developing and the cool pics.
I'd really appreciate it if other people who are committed to keeping 8th alive consider attending Da Boyz and help pass the word. I think the US GT scene is obviously fracturing with the southern GT's switching to KoW officially and other regions going in various directions. If 8th is going to survive a healthy tournament scene will help keep the game fresh and the community together.
If you haven't registered for Da Boyz please consider joining us. If you are coming and you wre willing to help me advertise please email me at the daboyzrocgt@gmail.com account and I will send you our event summary announcement to share with friends and a poster you could hang in local gaming stores.
And while I know they are by definition not popular on this forum if you have friends who are playing AoS or 40K send them our way as well as we will have events for those systems as well.
With great thanks
Gary No

I saw that Texas/Louisiana/Arkansas announcement... shocking! A full blown vote to move from WFB to KoW.

Gary, How many players are signed up so far for the various games?

I can't give a detailed head count as registration is being managed by the TO for the 40K side. However at last check we had about 70 signed up for singles and 20 for doubles. However that is split between the three systems with a significant majority on the 40K side. A 40k preodominence is not completely unexpected as last year they had 120 vs 60 for WFB. In the first week 8th had more sign ups then AoS but a few weeks in I'm not sure how the splits are now. Sign ups are continuing to grow on a steady pace. Traditionally much of our sign ups come after Crossroads but with all the changes in the community I want to push advertising to reach guys who weren't traditionally on the GT scene.
Bottom line I don't want 40K to get all the slots and I want WFB to continue to thrive- help me get the word out to get fantasy guys signed up!

Gary, thanks a lot for running Da Boyz Fantasy tournament. I don't think I can make it, but I am going to try.
Do you plan on continuing 8th edition tournaments? I would encourage you to do so. 8th edition is a great ruleset and I'm surprised about how many people just want to walk away from it.

I like the addition of the plague drones. With the daemon prince I think his cost of 525 points (plus 100 points for general) makes him a bit risky. In the first army you had you built a 400 point daemon prince. I would consider using the 400 point build and then you would have some extra points to spend else where. I am trying to keep either unit sizes or # of units in the multiple representing their God. I could drop the points, but spending them elsewhere would require either an assembly and painting project of some size or losing my fluffiness. Awesome, I didn't pick up on this (as I don't know which chaos gods correlate to what numbers) but that is really cool.

Kevin I think what happens with 8th in the region depends on whether the players show up. I can't speak for other TO's but if folks are signing up in droves to play 8th I believe the GT's will continue to run 8th. If interest is low then they will try hosting something else or just get out of the GT business. Like I said please come if you can, get the word out for us if you can't. I think Crossroads might even have open slots this upcoming weekend.

Here's my Khorne list. I obviously need to trim 1 point somewhere and I could use your advice with that and also your general feedback on the list.
I'm not entirely sure about the 2 cannons but one is the same points as a khorne giant...in that case the cannon is a no-brainer.
Please take a moment to look it over, tell me what you think. Thanks guys.

Rick, what is the point size of the armies in this tournament? If it's 2,400 then your army is illegal. You can't bring 2,401 to a 2,400-piont tourney.
I think it looks good. I was going to recommend adding cav in an elite army like this, but the Ogres are fast enough shock troops. But - why not replace the Ogres with Chaos Trolls? How many Trolls can you get for the price of the Ogre unit?

That was the first thing I wrote! I think I should dump the standard on the ogre unit. Why ogres instead of trolls? With only one character I think the trolls would be perms-stupid...especially if he's flying around wrecking things. Also, he ogres look more badass. I'm also thinking about turning the warshrine into another gorebeast chariot. Without chosen or any other characters, what would I even be using it for?

Oh, I missed the first line, I jumped straight into the list.
Good points about Ogres vs Trolls.
Is the only spell the Warshrine has the one where you roll on the eyes of the gods table for a character? If so, you should probably drop it. I don't think that spell even works on Daemon Princes.

Yeah it would just work on d3 champions within 12".
