I think you can count on 2-4 coming down from Edmonton. I'm sure we'll pre register by the deadline.

Good to hear! The tourney tends to get better support from Edmonton than it does from Calgary for some reason. It will be good to see some new faces (unless I'm just not recognising your username).

One thing I forgot to add;

NO star players allowed.

Which Khemri rules set will be used?

LRB 5, or the trial run with the BT tomb guardians?

Colin · Post by **Colin** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 4:52 pm

Only the official LRB 5 rules used for everything except the 3 "official unofficial" rosters.
So regular LRB 5 Khemri and Woodie rosters (and not any others that might have been changed in the experimental rules.)

NO experimental rules whatsoever. The 3 rosters that are included (Chaos Pact, Underworld, and Slann) were meant ot be approved before now but GW wouldn't allow them to be made official until there were minis produced. So they aren't considered experimental as they have already been playtested and ready to be used (and included in NAF ranking IIRC).

Just a reminder to those who are planning to attend this, only a few weeks away.

Aside from the trophies, we will be giving away 2 (yes, TWO) teams from Impact! one each for 1st and 2nd finishers. There will also be minis for the Most Sporting and Best Team awards.

Come on down to Red Deer and have fun! (and maybe win some great looking trophies and minatures).

This Saturday is the day, hope to see a large number of Alberta coaches there. So far a good number from Edmonton are coming down, and of course the people from Red Deer. Hopefully some coaches from Calgary will show up.
It will be a great time for all those who attend.
