Despite me being unable to contain my excitement, I do have several projects to complete before Adepticon. Nothing quite like procrastinating!
For the Championships:
2) Build a display board for the championships. Currently, I don't have a display board for my current army. It is not that it is complicated, I just haven't been able to find a suitable platform which is light weight and not gigantic. Something about that whole thing of not being too big and not being too small...
3) Touch up models. For those of you which have been actively following the blog, I have been sourcing out my army painting duties to a service. Mainly because I hate painting, but also because of time restraints with all of the happenings over the past year (grad school, work, wedding, and life). With that being said, even though I have the same guy painting everything, there are some inconsistencies in the basing colors and some details which have just been missed on the models. There is also some wear and tear on the paint from playing. Therefore, I will be going back through and fixing errors and touching up mistakes.
4) Design psychic markers. More for my opponent's reference, I would like to design some psychic power markers to mark which unit is guided and which unit is doomed. It should speed the game up.
5) Design variable value objectives. I am not sure that Adepticon is going to have a scouring type mission, where objectives are worth differing amounts of points, but I am going to design 6x 40mm bases with the value of the objective. I just hate the idea of tearing up paper and using that to mark worth.
6) Develop an order of operations sheet. Believe it or not, I have played over 50 games of 6th edition and I still don't have the set up order nailed down. I also have not memorized the Psychic Powers tables, Warlord Traits, Mysterious Objectives, or the Mysterious Forests rules as well. In order to save time, I am going to list these all out for easy reference. This will assist me in both the championships and the team tournament.
7) Mark off pages in the rule book. In order to quickly reference my rule book, I am going to mark off pages with post it note tabs. Anything to save time in order to quickly find a specific section or rule. This will assist me in both the championships and the team tournament.
For the Team Tournament:
1) Hound my team to print off our lists. At least our respective army lists have been finished for a while now, but I want to make sure they print of a sheet of what I am actually using along with stats of the models and any special rules. I love using completely new armies that I am not familiar with at a major tournament!
2) Build a team display board. For this I have the boards at least! I am not going to do anything elaborate given the lack of me physically possessing any of the models (I am borrowing everything) to design a board around. However, each board (actually more of a tray) is going to be compact and have handles built in. So when everyone is racing around with their gigantic displays during that event, we will be able to squeeze in between everyone. Sure our display board scores are going to suffer a bit, but there is a very slim possibility of us winning the event anyways.
3) Design psychic markers. More for my opponent's reference, I would like to design some psychic power markers to mark biomancy powers which our army is based on. It should speed the game up.
