Kooinda Gaming Klub Slow growth league for 2014

Well 2014 is nearly upon us and its time to make a few decisions about next years slow growth league.

Last year was a bit of a bust we tried the battle box league but noone was really interested in it. Maybe 4 of us ended up with a battle box army.

This year was a real success with 6 or 7 of us having a full 50 point army and most of us can field 2 or 3 50 point armies in our chosen faction. We've played well over 200 games and our game play has improved out of site with Kort managing a 4th place in a tourney in Brisbane (I think it was BrisMachine)

So we talked about next year and came up with the following rules.

Kooinda Gaming Klub Iron Gauntlet (Some fancy name to be entered later) 2014

The Aim of the slow growth league for 2014 is to enable participants to be able to field 2 x 50 point armies from 2 different factions. Old armies may be used but each participant MUST choose 1 faction (or army) That they have not used in subsequent Slow growth leagues. (You can use the same faction but it must be a new army). Thos os your locked in faction.

So at the start of the year or when the first league game is played each participant will Lock in a faction that must be used at all SGL tournaments. The second faction is free and may be changed from game to game and tourney to tourney.

The first quarter we will be playing 25 point games (Yes 15 points blows)

The second quarter we will be playing 35 points

The third quarter will be 50 points and the last quarter will be decided at a later date (It will be a charity event).

At each tournament you must play at least one game with your Locked in Faction and you MAY use a second faction (50 point games you must present a second faction and you Must play 1 game with each faction).

Points for the table will be as of last year with the following changes.

Painting points. You will always get points for your Locked in faction as long as all models are painted. Your second faction may be an existing army and the first quarter it is used it will recieve painting points if all models are painted. Once you use a second faction all painted models in the faction whether they were used or not will be considered as having been used. In the next quarter if you use the same second faction you will only recieve painting points IF you have painted new miniatures and are using those miniatures in the game you are playing. You may opt to use another faction entirely (Ado has like 6 painted armies so he could do this easily) and the previous rules would apply.

There will be changes to the tournament rules as well like the scrapping of the coin rules as they were free points for Ado and Eddy. Now you will not get points having the coin as it gives you enough of an advantage as it is.

Also as we are now affiliated with LXG all league members either need to be a current member of LXG or Kooinda Gaming Club. Membership for LXG is as per the web site 

<<<LXG Blog Page>>>

and membership for KGK is $10 as per membership rules on the Club page.

So if your interested and would like more info contact any of us and we can help you out. We play most weeks and have a club weekend (yes all weekend long) at least once a month.

Have a great rest of the year all.

Cheers

Kooinda Gaming Klub Invitational Kristmas Klash

Our 50pt Slow growth tourney will be held on 14th December

All are welcome to attend although if you haven't played before it would be a good idea to contact one of us to get so additional info on how we play.

So the rules are the same as the last tourney (except for points value) but I'll post them here for you all to read.

I will also be charging $15 a head to cover trophies and lunch. If your not in the SGL then just pay $10 for lunch. I do a BBQ and you can drink a couple of my beers.

50pt Slow Growth Tourney rules

We will be using the Steamroller 2013 with the following changes.

Army is 50 points.
Must be your slow growth army (This is the one you use in all slow growth games)
Must be fully painted. 3 colours and based. (Not really required but encouraged)
Turns will be 10 minutes with 5 minute extension.
4 games will be played with random for the first game and ranked for the rest. (SR says 3 for 8 or less but we play 4 games sorry Ado days too short with only 3 games)
After the first game the players will set up there army for the beauty pageant. Players will pick first and second and the totals will be tallied at the end of the tourney.

Slow growth tourney points rules

1 point for playing a game with your slow growth army
1 point if your army is fully painted (It should be painted)
1 point for playing a player you have never played before.
1 point for playing a faction you have never played
1 point for a win
1 point for a caster kill.

I am also adding some extra ways to make points when you play a tourney

1 point for playing a tourney game with your Slow growth army.
1/4 point for every objective point you get.
4 points for wining the tourney
1 point for any trophy you win.

1 point for holding a KGKT coin at the end of the tourney

Reroll coin rules
The holder of the coin may spend the coin to either reroll 1 dice or reroll all dice in one roll. The coin cannot be used to reroll a reroll. To spend a coin you hand it to your opponent. He may then spend it as above. The coin can only be used once a turn but may be used as many times during a games as turns permit. You may hold as many coins as you like. Coins are only usable in the year they are issued.

You can acquire league point with the coin in the following ways.
1 point if you have a coin at the start of the tourney
1 point for every game you hold a coin and don't spend it.
1 point if you have a coin at the end of the tournament.
You can only acquire league points with the coin if it is a slow growth tourney.
You may only use the coin at KGK tourneys.

Coins are issued as follows.
At the start of the year the person in the first tourney of the year who is the lowest person on the league table who has actually played at least one game will be issued a coin.
The person who finishes lowest on the table will be given a coin.

I believe Eddie and Ado hold a coin becuase I Jay spent his coin in a normal game last month (and still failed his leadership roll :D ). Not sure who got the coin in Jun but there are 3 of them out there now.

Trophies
There should be 6 trophies this month. The person who won the trophie last time has to make the trophie this time.
Trophie making rules are as follows.

1. It must cost under $5
2. It must take less than 3 hours to make
3. It must be made by the person who won it last. (And no using my minis buy your own damn trophy)

The trophies are as follows

1. Field Marshal: First place. (Chunky to make but it will be me again I recon.)
2. Parade Ready: Best painted army (Jay won finally)
3. Assassin: Fastest caster kill (I think Gelfie won this one so me again)
4. Genocide: Highest army points killed (Ado got this 1 from memory)
5. Slayer award: for the model (selected by the player) who takes the most boxes during the tourney. Eddie I think
6. Fat Controller: The person who claims the most control points. (Kort to make)

We also have the coin for the last place.

So as I see it just for playing you should walk out with 12 points on the table (and maybe 13 cause you should win a trophy). Give me a message if you intend to come along cause if I get 8 players I will register it on the wanking ranking site.

Also I want to do up trophies for the league table so give me some ideas for prizes or trophies.

Table for October is updated but I am missing all of Jays Tourney points. I also re jigged ado's points cause he cant add. SO this is it for November. I assume games have been played but noone has updated the facebook page yet.

War machine Monday 4-11: Kort v jay with cygnar Ehaley vs Legion Rhyas.

I took first and ran with most models, cast temp acc on stormy and advanced n dropped pod and aoe's.

Jay ran his force up, through tough on the war spears and ran into position and the turn passed.

I decided to try for an assassination attempt on Rhyas i allocated 4 and cast temp accel on the stormy and dead eye on the gun mages then popped feat. Gun mages got Rhyas down to 4? Hit boxs, he had couple transfers but was holding onto them due to 3 heavy gun shots coming his way. Stormy boosted two shots and missed twice, my third shot I threw into a sythien and did 13 boosted damage!!

With that said the rest of my force positioned themselves and the stormlances assaulted some spears, one ran to engage the war chief on my right flank and the others killed one spear.

Jay went and couldn't really do too much with the feat up. He cast a couple spells threw up no shooting from his hellion to stop the gun mages and that was it.

My turn went with a few TK's in order to free up some mages and attempt shots, they that could shot and took out the shepherd. My stormy scrapped both the Scythian and proteus and the hammer dwarves took out the objective on my right. I scored 2 points and was looking good:)

Jay decided to go for it as best he could and fated, his lone war chief killed all but 3 dwarfs and wars spears swung at a pod and junior taking them both out, then he went in with his battle engine to try and leap and kill Haley but I TK it last turn so it was facing the wrong way and couldn't charge, later jay realized it had 360, but it still didn't do the job. My dwarfs were fleeing so jay picked up a point.

My turn started with 4 going to stormy and a lil thinking taking place. Basically Haley TK Rhyas to turn her but to the stormy then thorn got his free advance and she TK the bolt thrower, jays last beast, out of transfer range she then stood still and boosted a shot at the succubus in the way of stormy from advancing in. She hit and couldn't boost range but rolled enough anyways. So stormy went in competing with spears and an objective but was able to get reach on his caster. First attack boosted hit and at dice plus 6, it auto killed yay.

We even rolled it out too see what would happen if he did transfer and I still rolled enough to kill the beast and to splash enough back anyways, but it doesn't hurt to be safe

*Kort 1pt play 1pt caster 1pt win

*Jay 1pt play

Game weekend Aris’s House 16-17 Nov

A few games over the weekend. Ado and Eddy where trying out some armies for Cancon so I obliged then with a game. Kort jumped in as well eager to get enough points to pass Ado on the league table.

Krt v Ado Kort gets 3 points Play win Castor kill Ado none

Aris vs Jay. Jay left his caster near my Colossus after a failed assassination attempt.

*I get 3 points Play win Castor Kill.

*Jay get 2 for play and paint

Aris vs Eddy. I think I had the 3 crewmen from the commodore still on the table. Brutal game I wish I had of taped this one I made so many mistakes.

*Eddie get none as he was playing with goat girl

*I get play and paint

Played Ado he was using Khador (so no points for him) and I was using bart. He smashed me with the no magic castor but it was a new faction for me so

*I got a play paint and new faction for 3 points

Warmachine Wednesday 27-11

Jay Played Allen Love and Neil at The Battlestation. Lost to Allen's Mercs but beat Neil's Khador. New player, 2xPainted, 2xPlayed, Win, Caster Kill for 7 points.

Warmachine monday 25-11

Jay Played Tony at Good-Games, they wanted to close up shop early so Tony got aggressive and left PDoomshaper on the front lines, Belphagor moves up and throws PDoomy back towards my army and my caster and Scythean finish him. New player,played, painted, caster kill and win for 5 points.
