WarMachine/Hordes
Date - Saturday, May 17th, 2008
Time - 12 noon registration, 1st round starts at 1pm
Format - Super Secret Steamroller Beta
No of Rounds - 3-5 rounds
Time Limit - last turn at 75 mins
Entry Fee - $5
Prize Support - Gift Certificates for Champion and Best Painted.
The Tournament will follow the not yet public Steamroller 4 Beta Release 5 Rules: Timed Turns, a new victory condition and other fun.
We will be using Prime Remix and Primal/Evolution rulesets. If you are fielding any models with special rules that have been updated/clarified in the PP FAQ, please bring a printed copy to avoid any confusion.
Players must bring their own models, stat cards, dice, measuring devices, tokens, wreck markers, and templates they require for play. The Tournament Organizer (TO) must approve any printed media used to track damage.
Army and Horde Lists
Players must also bring at least two printed or legibly handwritten copies of their army lists complete with point costs and an army or horde point total. They must register one of these lists with the TO prior to the start of the tournament. The player's opponent may view the other copies upon request.
Army and horde point totals cannot exceed 500 points and cannot be less than 450 points .
Alternate Lists
Players may bring a second army or horde list for use at the event. Mercenary players may use different contracts for their primary and alternate lists. Faction players may likewise use any or no Special Forces for their lists. This alternate list is subject to the same point constraints as the primary list and must be from the same faction. Players must prepare the alternate list before the event and register it with the TO at the same time as the primary list.
Painting, Conversions and Proxies
While models are not required to be painted it is encouraged and will be rewarded with a Gift Certificate for the best completely painted force as voted on by the players.
All models must be completely assembled: arms, head, everything.
Proxies (substitute models) are not allowed under any circumstances, nor can a player enter a tournament with a model that has not been released to the general public.
All models must be WARMACHINE or HORDES models appropriate to the tournament venue. Conversions (modifications to Privateer Press models) are acceptable as long as they are clearly based on WARMACHINE or HORDES models. Conversions must represent the model from which they are most obviously drawn. For example, a heavily converted Haley model is not a substitute for Sorscha.
Weapon changes are acceptable provided they represent the same type of weapon replaced. For example, trading a sword for a sword is legal. However, mixing and matching warjack weapons is not allowed.
The TO may make exceptions and approve any reasonable conversion. To avoid confusion and conflict, players must have an unaltered version of the model available in case a TO asks to remove a questionable model from play. The TO makes the final call on any particular model.
Time - 12 noon registration, 1st round starts at 1pm

Players must also bring at least two printed or legibly handwritten copies of their army lists complete with point costs and an army or horde point total. They must register one of these lists with the TO prior to the start of the tournament. The player's opponent may view the other copies upon request.
Army and horde point totals cannot exceed 500 points and cannot be less than 450 points .
Alternate Lists
Players may bring a second army or horde list for use at the event. Mercenary players may use different contracts for their primary and alternate lists. Faction players may likewise use any or no Special Forces for their lists. This alternate list is subject to the same point constraints as the primary list and must be from the same faction. Players must prepare the alternate list before the event and register it with the TO at the same time as the primary list.
Painting, Conversions and Proxies
While models are not required to be painted it is encouraged and will be rewarded with a Gift Certificate for the best completely painted force as voted on by the players.
All models must be completely assembled: arms, head, everything.
Proxies (substitute models) are not allowed under any circumstances, nor can a player enter a tournament with a model that has not been released to the general public.
All models must be WARMACHINE or HORDES models appropriate to the tournament venue. Conversions (modifications to Privateer Press models) are acceptable as long as they are clearly based on WARMACHINE or HORDES models. Conversions must represent the model from which they are most obviously drawn. For example, a heavily converted Haley model is not a substitute for Sorscha.
Weapon changes are acceptable provided they represent the same type of weapon replaced. For example, trading a sword for a sword is legal. However, mixing and matching warjack weapons is not allowed.
The TO may make exceptions and approve any reasonable conversion. To avoid confusion and conflict, players must have an unaltered version of the model available in case a TO asks to remove a questionable model from play. The TO makes the final call on any particular model.

Warmachine and Hordes Update
Just wanted to let everyone know what has been happening in our local Warmachine and Hordes community.
On March 29, we had a tournament with 6 players trying out the not-yet-official tournament rules from Privateer Press. Pewter was flying across the table as the competitors tried to get their turns completed in the alloted 8 minutes. After a game of frenzied play, we all agreed that 8 minutes might be a bit too fast for now and changed the limit to 10 minutes. Games still progressed quickly but the danger of cardiac arrest greatly subsided. In the end, Mike Stephens stood victorious as his undead legions snagged both the best of Cryx and Champion awards. Dave Gentzler, also playing Cryx, took home the award for Best Painted Army.
On April 4th, a dry, howling wind ripped through Comic Store West as the Bloodstone Borderlands Tour of the 2008 Call To Arms League kicked off with a bang. By the end of the night, 15 players had played 9 games in the unforgiving land separating Western Immoren from the wasteland of the Bloodstone Marches. Dust storms, scalding hot geysers and aggressive cacti made a memorable night for all. If you haven't signed up yet there are still 4 weeks and several player slots open.

The top 8 players from the Store Rankings are invited to that store’s Final. Ties are broken by the highest number of first-place finishes, then second-place, etc. until the tie is broken. (Stores must use the rankings provided on the Wizards website). Absolute ties are broken by the highest-place finish in the first Qualifier event of the season. If any of the top 8 do not show up for the Store Finals, then their invite(s) pass down to the 9th-ranked player, then 10th, etc. until 8 players are available. If 8 eligible players are not available to play at the advertised date and time of the event, the event is cancelled and no invitations will be awarded.
The top two players from the Store Finals receive invitations to the 2008 City Championships for their City. Players that finish in the top 2 of a Store Final may not play in another Store Final.
** Remember if you know of someone who is an official DCI judge, we need him or her. This event requires us to have a judge.
** Also if you are one of the unlucky players to have just missed the cutoff we urge you to still show up for the event in case someone does not make it. There needs to be 8 people for us to have the event.

Roadtrip to Gemstone Publishing
Brett and I went over to Gemstone Publishing this morning to visit them and tour the place. Gemstone Publishing does the Disney Comics and the Overstreet Price Guide. They used to be based in Maryland but now are only 5 minutes from the store. We met some great people and saw some awesome Vintage Pop Culture items. We even held a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 (the first appearance of Spider-Man). We had a great time and look forward to working with them in the future.

BACK ISSUE EXPLOSION !!
We have recently purchased several large collections and have been going through and loading both the regular back issue bins and the BARGAIN BINS with new material. Keep checking the bins weekly because I still have several THOUSAND comics to sort through.
Also check out our back room inventory (even though it is in the early stages) you can see what we have in the back that may not be out on the floor. I am half way through the Marvel Comics and am making good progress. Click here to see the list so far.

Magic City Championships
Here is a link to the 'OFFICIAL' DCI standings for the store championships. I'm still awaiting word on our 12/22 event.
Magic City Championship Event #4 Update
Apparently since our Event #4 only had 7 players DCI declined the event and results. I have an email into our contact to double check on this. It sucks and I am very sorry. The results may need to be removed with the store standings updated to reflect the declined event. I will post an update when I learn more.

Back Room Inventory
I've made a huge breakthrough with the back issue inventory. Keep checking back late this weekend for an exciting new way to see what we have in our back issue collection. (No the inventory won't be finished but the new method of displaying it will be finished).
Jan and Feb Calendars Posted
The January and February calendars have been re-posted after I made some updates to some events. Check them out again. New copies were also printed and hung in the game room of the store.

Mutants & Masterminds Game Day
Session 1 had two fine games. 4 players enjoyed a Paragons Campaign run by Jason Altland. Paragons is a world of normal people with paranormal powers. Game 2 was the "Liberty Corp" a Golden age adventure set in 1938 America. The Gamemaster of this game was Bill Jordan. Four players battled Nazi's on a moving train. Session 2 saw 5 players assume the identity's of the Justice League. Jason Altland led this DC adventure. Six other players portrayed new hero's in Kevin Hakes "Time of Crisis part 2" adventure.
Back Issue Inventory
I've decided to take on the task of taking an inventory of our back issue collection. Yes, I may be insane but I'm gonna try. I have added a link to the right under the COMICS section that will take you to the page that will list our back room inventory. It's gonna take a while but as I get a box counted I'll post it to the page.
