GW 'Warrior's Code' for Tournaments and Plastic Thunderhawk/Sisters - manrogue - 14-11-2013 Seeing as the only Warhammer world host official tournaments now, not massively relevant but worth knowing if anyone does intend to attend one. Left the Thunderhawk/sisters rumour in it as part of the same thing (but i'll believe when i see it on them)- Quote: Denzark on the Bols Lounge wrote: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3520006a_Warriors_code_V1.2.pdf The Warrior's Code is partially true although not in the way he presents it (No counts-as isn't true, specific paint for specific chapters isn't there, and it appears to be only for WW) Quote:From Larry Vela, re: Thunderhawk: RE: GW 'Warrior's Code' for Tournaments and Plastic Thunderhawk/Sisters - Agincourt - 14-11-2013 What a sad state of affairs... such elitist behavior in a 'hobby' is just pathetic... No doubt you will need to show passports for future entry to avoid any Australian anti-elitist rampaging through the halls armed with a heavy duty paint remover spray system. RE: GW 'Warrior's Code' for Tournaments and Plastic Thunderhawk/Sisters - manrogue - 14-11-2013 It is a bit heavy handed, but the only official tournaments run nowadays are at Warhammer world so it isn't going to have a major impact. Things like Caledonian and Battlefield Birmingham it will have zero impact on unless they decide to use the guidelines (unlikely as they get zero prize support off GW). But it certainly doesn't paint GW in a great light about the converted army, using official GW parts being made to change his army. My favourite is this though- Quote: Warrior Code wrote:Here are some examples of incomplete Bit of a money grab there..... It seems to be the direction GW are moving at present... RE: GW 'Warrior's Code' for Tournaments and Plastic Thunderhawk/Sisters - Gareth - 14-11-2013 Vince, that has been in place in all of their events for years. All they have done now, is tidy it up into one document, rather than copy everything into every event pack that they do from now on. Much easier to publish one document, and in a ToS rules pack put, see warriors code, rather than have everything in text format. It even means should they wish to, they can make it easier for changes to be noted, similar to the FAQ updates, where they highlight latest changes, i.e. warriors code v2.x etc. I know the vast majority of it was in place when Alan and myself attended the Battlefield event. The only things of note for myself, is them asking you to build a whole model, rather than try to be cheap (and quite a few tournaments would have an issue with the skeleton example, although the other two listed I think independents wouldn't,) and from the WFB side, they stipulated how much a unit filler can fill. If they really wanted to grab the cash, it would have been far more effective to ban them outright, and force you to buy more models. I genuinely applaud the document, as have most of the WFB event scene, for making it quite clear. As for you issue about conversions, I can partly understand your fear. But look at the examples they have given. Each one again is where there is no initial basis of the original model. The obvious fear, is that there is an effort to deceive your opponent, by making something that in no way resembles what they are actually facing. And if you read their reasoning that's exactly what they state. The example about the White Scar / Dark Eldar, whilst a "converted force," it was a Proxy Force, which had been banned for years. So I would think the guy an idiot for taking it in the first place. RE: GW 'Warrior's Code' for Tournaments and Plastic Thunderhawk/Sisters - manrogue - 15-11-2013 Just to clarify, i have no objection to the rules pack as i have no intention of going to any of the WW tournaments. I was mainly posting to bring to yourself/Alan as i know you have been to tournaments etc there and wasn't sure if there was any changes that you might want brought to your attention (or anyone else for that matter) before you go. The only thing that i disagree with is converted armies thing (bearing in mind that the stuff in quotes is not me speaking it is Denzark comments. ijust posted it here in quotes rather than force people to go through links.) but again wouldn't effect me. Though i could take my Mantic guard and see how many seconds it take for me to get kicked out (and rightly so)! To be honest the skeleton i agree with but posted that example so as not to seem like i was picking points in my favour. The only things i was really interested in was the rumours about a plastic T-hawk but would die of salt intake before i believed that without massive proof! RE: GW 'Warrior's Code' for Tournaments and Plastic Thunderhawk/Sisters - Gareth - 10-01-2014 Warriors Code has received a slight update. Now include GW downloads, FW and experimental rules. The last bit is a surprise. |
