We're back!

Having taken a year off due to having to relocate from Canada back to the UK, Teamhammer 40k will be back in 2014. Next year's event will be held on the 1st of February at Dreamlike Gaming in Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire, UK.

I'll update this with more details and an updated event pack shortly, but I can tell you that the charity for this event will be Macmillan Nurses

http://www.macmillan.org.uk/.

Other details will be:

• 3 games
• Each team is 2000 points (1000 each), split across a single force org between the 2 players but each player must include 1 HQ and 1 troop choice
• Players use the allies matrix to work out how their guys interact with their teammate's units
• Allies themselves are not allowed (that's why you have a teammate with potentially a different army!)
• Forgeworld 40k units are in, Forgeworld lists are out though

£20 per team (so a tenner each)

There will some token prizes for the best team etc, and then a raffle for any wargaming goodies we get donated. You will be given some tickets when you arrive to cast for whichever prize you want, and you will be able to buy extra tickets on the day to improve your chances.

We'll be announcing sponsors as we secure them, but I can say that I'll be providing a kit from Great White Miniatures (http://greatwhiteminiatures.blogspot.co.uk/).

Thanks - and the results!

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who attended Teamhammer on Saturday, I hope you all enjoyed playing as much as I enjoyed organising it. I want to single out a few people for special thanks, Dan for allowing us to use his store, Matthew, James and Marc for helping get the tables ready when I was running late, Paul for making the logo, Ryan from Relic for the raffle prizes and A-Club for letting us use their terrain!

I'm pleased to say we raised $406 for the Victoria Hospice, which in the interest of full disclosure works out as follows:

Entrancee fees: $420
Raffle takings: $136
Prizes: $150

I will be Providing Paul with a cheque in the next few days to take to the hospice when he visits in a few weeks.

The tournament results are given below, congratulations to Adam and Mike for taking 3 of the 4 categories! I've asterisked who got the prize, as we had the you can only win once rule is place.

Thanks again, if we can, will do this again next, hope to see you all back to try again - I have a list of stuff to improve, so it should be even better! :)

New logo!

Thanks to Paul, and with permission from Wim (Wobbly Model Syndrome) we now have a new logo!

No Whitewash! (or indeed any other colour)

Update, painting requirement has been relaxed in order to fill spaces - if this was stopping you, it's now no longer an obstacle!

Q&A

Some people have asked questions re rules, so for anyone else wondering:

- All IA is in, except Superheavies (i.e. anything from Imperial Armour books and appropriate Imperial Armour Apocalypse entries)

- IA fliers count as skimmers in regular 40K

- IA Elysian drop troops counts as IG on the allies matrix, and their Flyers count as skimmers for the Lightning and the Thunderbolt, use the original profiles, not any from IAA.

- Prizes, there's a copy and paste error here and some confusion

• The Best General prize is awarded to a team, so if Team A wins, then both members of Team A get a prize.
• Renaissance Man (Men) works like the Best General
• The Best Painted, whilst scoring for the team will only be awarded to an individual.
• Favourite Opponent is awarded individually, but only counts towards a prize not your overall score.

more to be added as asked....

Good news and clarifications

Great news everyone - we have 10 teams already, with a few provisionals that I expect to confirm very shortly. I'll post up who's in so far, shortly, and anyone else on the fence can decide if they want to join the fun! :)

Oh I realise there's a little mistake in the info pack - the prizes are awarded to the team (so each prize is something for each team member), with the exception of the painting prize which is on an individual basis. I'll fix the document and upload it again tonight so everything is clear.
