Play like you have half a dozen, english thread
« le: 12 mars 2012 à 21:31:59 »
Hi everybody,

As Zoro asked me, i post to tell you about the challenge that have been already accepted by some of the fiercest French players.
Personnaly i’m more than inclined to think that foreigners have enough balls to endure this challenge and even if in France we try really hard, we don’t have the monopoly on stupid ideas.

This idea went to me as the SR12 ste of rules came up introducing the character restriction, it divided the french communauty and some players were really reluctant about these restrictions, particuliarly the mercenary players who are always on the edge of occasions to complain. (their lobby won since they have special character restriction this year)

Zoro decided that characters restriction would be mandatory for each day, i just wanted to show that it would be possible to follow this restriction for both days which means character restriction on the 6 lists available during the trounament.

So here are the rules :

6 lists so 6 different casters (true men don’t kill coyotes and can choose to play only one version of a caster so they can choose to play either the prime version or the epic one) and character restrictions applied on each of the 6 lists.

Some of us did it last year and it was really funny but there are many other reasons to accept this challenge.

-   Prove to the others that you’re able to bring a mass of painted minitures, play all oy your factions available styles,
-   Bring back door casters, not so well known in a tourney,
-   Have fun, class and see the respect in your opponent’s eyes.
-   Perfect excuse if you lose ^^

I know it will have consequences, bad match ups and lots of painting to do that’s why I’ll think of giving a little something to the player who’ll bring the highest number of different miniatures split among the 6 lists

Here’s the list of the bravest of the braves !


- Starpu (141) Epic fail
- Bombance Fail, we can call him empty pants
- Rem (106) why!!!
- Bekanor chickening away
- Dragoonvano (73)
- Gruxxki (109)  :-[
- Joss (160) No not you!
- Portal (a new challenger entered)(110)
- Titi
- Ishkar (125)
- Q² (83)
- Zoro (who wanted to do it but chose to organize ;))
- TripleUn (77)
- Schlaf (107)
- Gwen the manner southerner (125)
- Pickouette Troll Hero (104)
- Allan255 spawned at the last moment (81)
- Fedmahn, last but not least (98)

Yeah, I've read about that when you discussed it in french.

I do like the idea. I already have lots of models to paint for this year. At this moment in my 3 50 points lists I think there are 68 different models. (31 yet unpainted ¬¬'), I'm not sure about the 35p list yet, but I will try to pick 3 different casters (I'm pretty sure about 2, unsure about the third...), and they will probably at least 8 more models... I've no need to repeat any character by now.

But well... that's just the idea, the truth that I have lots of models to paint and I am very lazy, and probably I will end up doing the list with whatever I have painted the day I'll have to send the list... we shall see...

Hey D,

So much painting seems like it would be double challenge for you !

If you manage to achieve all this i think you'll win men's respect and girl's admiration, I'm pretty sure last year girls in the audience threw me their underwear ;) (or maybe it was just zoro who wears nice hello kitty knickers)

I consider playing 6 different casters if ever I come to Lyon and I will be wearing 6 (full) different boxer shorts on each occasion :)

I'll also have 6 different warcasters. About the character restriction, I will apply them each day (not during the whole week-end)

Haha To have 6 different casters should be mandatory not something to be proud about.

I'm sorry boys but you're out of the challenge and will be called unwealthly baby sturgeons for the tournament, I personally think you are as charismatic as a wet mop. ;)

My Mop have pink hearts... so I don't care.
As I say, playing mercs is already a challenge. In fact, I'm already above all contestants in this Challenge !

Mouahahahahahahah  ;D

Job's done.
6 lists, 6 casters, 125 models, and i'm proud to say that i'll come with all the models in the elves' faction.
Chara restriction applied on all the lists, even Eiryss is in only one version.
No mercenary (no need ^^), but Sylys and Eiryss, who are Ret's partisans.
Fear the retribution !

i'm in.

6 casters, 97 different minis. i use every (painted) mini i have in stock except for warcasters (sorry for the poor warcasters who shall stay home)

character restriction applied on the full week-end. i considered the covenant & the hierophant as a character solo for this purpose, as the protectorate has not much character solos or units (in fact, i only play nicia & vilmon as character solos)

i believe i am almost succeeding in warjack restriction (1 warjack mini should be used only once during the tournament).

i play full protectorate (no mercenaries, no allies)

Glad to sse a mentoh player since i think menoth army is really hurt by character restrictions!

Covenant is really a character solo whereas hierophant is not !

I can only admire your take on managing to apply these restrictions on jacks, that's something i did for 3 50 pts lists but on 6 you're the king !

So you lost about 30 minis in the process, i hope you'll do well in the tourney ^^

I notice that we're losing people here, what's happening boys, only 8 participants, shame on all of you !!

Furthermore only 3 players above the hundred minis, i know i was a sissy with 80 models but i have to admit these 3 warmachine players impress me with their ballsiness even if i'm sure hordes players do their best!
