[Gen] The 3rd CC Challenge

[Dooks Dizzo]

Really? I would have sword there were more than that. I' count through this afternoon.

[nareik123]

So may entries, so little time...
Good luck to all.

[Waterbizkit]

I hunted the pages, and without counting anything that's still illegal or up in the air for some other reason we have 42 entries, a most magical number indeed for those of us who've read the Hitchhikers Guide.

I've copy/pasted every single entry into this post, but don't have the time to bold the names and what have you, sorry for that. I hope getting all of these on one page though makes it a little easier for dooks and moo.

~Bizkit

[nareik123]

Wow, contribution to the communitiy indeed. Well done Bizkit!
I only fear beardy characters and that fex.

[Waterbizkit]

To be honest the 'fex and characters don't scare me too much. If I've done the math right my squad gets 13 harlequin kiss attacks on the charge. A roll of 6 to wound and a failed save will kill even multi-wound characters outright if I recall, and with 13 attacks I ought to see at least a few of those in the initial charge.

This all assumes:
a) I did the math right.

and

b) The dice love me enough to hand over those 6's.

So I could be way off base.

~Bizkit

[MooFreaky]

Thanks heaps Bizkit. That will help alot actually.

This is how it will work.
I will divide all the entries into 6 groups of 5 and 2 groups of 6.

A total of 8 groups.
The groups will all play against eachother once (maybe twice... I will decide once I see how long these rounds take... then get back to you... time generally isn't an issue as I find the statistical side of such things very addictive... strange I know)
The top 2 from each groups will go through to the next round.

Those 16 players will be divided into 4 groups of 4.
They will play eachother once (or twice... same as above)

The top 2 will make up the final 8 and they will go into a knockout.

I'd also like to puclicly thank Dooks. He's done over half the entries so far, and that's been huge. Thanks to him this will be getting off the ground much earlier than otherwise.


And finally, to clarrify. The PowerFist rules are the ones we follow, as they are directly related to THAT weapon. So its rules override.

[Touristo]

Whenever they're ready, and not a moment before that.

I'm kinda curious though as to how the groups will be organized. Will there be "seeds" like the last CC Challenge? Perhaps based on what type of unit the entry is(horde, single powerful character, weaker character w/retinue)? Or will it be a pure random drawing? I guess a random drawing would be a lot faster and easier to do, especially given the number of entries.

[Invictus]

I guess the challenge will begin over the weekend.

BTW do you two (Moo and Dooks) want me to help you with dice rolling? I can do some rolling while you two are sleeping (I'm about 10 hours behind you).

[Invid]

Are the Synapse rules out for the Gaunts in the list? Dont think there is even one char w/ Synapse to pair 'em up against.

I cant wait for the :vikingb:

Good luck everyone!!!

[Sir Plasma]

Daemonhost Sisters will destroy all comers, hopefully [I just hope I avoid the Null Rod, Harlies and big things ]!

[Dooks Dizzo]

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive!

I would like to throw something in for those who are getting restless: patience.

Let patience be your watchword. These competitions are involved and time consuming. Some things have to be made up out of thin air. Not everything can be accounted for all at once. When we know, you will know.

On a more personal note let me break a few things down for people who are interested.

I have a full time job, a wife who is 6 months pregnant, two armies that I am painting, I play Warhammer every Thursday night, I read about a novel a week, I do my best to catch Mythbusters and the Daily show when I can, I like to get 6 and a half or 7 hours of sleep when possible, I eat, shower, clean dishes, straighten the house, hang out with my friends, various doctor dental and other appointments, have dinner with the inlaws and all manner of other day to day things.

Basically what I am saying is that I am a fairly busy person and I am sure that Moo is too. Hence, I don't mind taking the time to cool stuff like this, but it does take awhile sometimes. Please be patient.

[W'rkncacnter]

my entry
6 Swooping Hawks
+ Exarch with Web of Skulls and shuriken pistol, Sustained Assault
199 pts

just to clarify, the web of skulls comes with a free pistol. I apologise for not realising this earlier.

[Mirehn_Bielann]

Hey Dook and Moo it seems I need to clear something up. My original post said

7 Veteran Space Marines
3 w/ Bolt Pistol and Chainsword
1 w/ Lightning Claws
1 w/ Power Sword
Sergeant has Terminator honours and a power sword
All have bolt pistols except the one with a pair of lightning claws
All have Furious Charge
Total is 196 points

I just wanted to make sure you knew it was

7 Veteran Space Marines
4 w/ Bolt Pistol and Chainsword and not 3
and it is still 196 points, I just did a recheck to make sure it still came out to the correct point total and everything else in the post still stand.

[Sir Plasma]

[dinner with] inlaws

You are a brave, brave man. Me salute you! oh, and my best wishes to Dooks Junior or Dooksette Junior, as well!

[pazer5]

sorry but it the list of entries i couldnt see my entry, it is on the near bottom of the 4th page and id hate to miss out???

[Cannon_Fodder]

Just to help Dooks out on his note about patience, I'd like to point out that the last CC competion took about 2 months to complete, and since this time it's getting even more intense the accutual process is going to get longer, so just sit tight .
Thats all I wanted to say...

...well that and that I've still yet to kill anything in any CC comp

[CrossOrion]

I don't suppose you can post results group by group as you get them done, do you? will you? Should you?

[ZellFish]

I'm really going on the whole "Numbers > Gear" Theory, here.

[MooFreaky]

Chances are rather than release every game on here all at once. I'll do a group at a time and post some or all of the groups at once. Depending on time. I'll provide lots of links so people can easily find where everything needs to be and what not.

I shall have the groups organised by tonight (hopefully...)
And hoping to get started this weekend...

[pazer5]

yeah sure thing just dont want to miss out as i said, i realise that its no push over to do this, far from it but really intersted how my striking scorpians will go :num:
yeah my archite didnt go so well in CC2, just got addictied i guess
keep up the good work dooks and moo, sorry to come over as pushy
just reliesed the popurlarity of this thread may get more replies, and looks at then the last two put together
The World Famous Close Combat Competion :bandit:

[Dark Watcher]

And let's all please remember B.A.'s martial law from post #1.

Out of interest, who else believes this and the 2nd CC Challenge to consistitue a "significant contribution to the forums"?

*Cough-Hint-cough-cough*

[BrianGeneral]

Why everyone break my name into 2 words
Anyway, what we can do now is to wait. Keep it up Moo and Dooks!

[Zarathustrian]

Is my entry in? Its not on Waterbizkits list, but i posted it on page 3.
(4x ravener, devourers, rending claws)
*edit* did as ´bizkit proposed.

My entry

[Waterbizkit]

For anyone not on my list, I appologise. I wan't able to devote quite as much time to the endeavor as I had wanted, so wan't able to do my normal standard of work. I basically went page by page copy/pasting the names into MS Word and then copy/pasting the entry itself under the name. I didn't have time to go back through the thread and double-check for anyone I missed, nor did I have the time to address certain entries such as Bebe's or popsumpots, which there had been questions concerning, with bebe it was a question of legality, and pops was possibly over on points, nowhere else is the thread did I see the issues addressed.

Anyway, anyone who got thier entry in on time (as in before Moo shut the entries) but who I missed on the list, please say so and post a link to the page in the thread where your entry is so it's easy for either Moo or Dooks to find. Moo and Dooks have a lot to do, and I justed wanted to help organise things a bit, so again I appologise for anyone I missed or whos entry I copied incorrectly.

~Bizkit

[Dooks Dizzo]

Out of interest, who else believes this and the 2nd CC Challenge to consistitue a "significant contribution to the forums"?

Seriously.

Thanks a million Water for doing that, complete or not it is a great help to organization.

[Invictus]

I do. In fact, I recommended Moo and Dooks for awards to Armand several weeks ago (well, I recommended Moo but Dooks being included goes without saying, which was my intention).

[Brother Wolf]

First, a cookie for Bizkit for compiling things to help Moo & Dooks.

Second, a nod of appreciation to Dooks for having a real world life and devoting time to help out Moo.

Third, major props to Moo for performing so admirably over the last 2 challenges and preparing this third one.

Finally, remember the rules, (if you forgot them, they are on the first page), so you can continue to participate. Remember to have fun, but don't waste time and bandwidth with needless posts.

Best of luck to all of the competitors.

[ZellFish]

I would suggest someone, (Moo) editing the first post to show the army entries, to keep people from going "omgwtf where r my entree"

DOUBLE POST

Should be interesting, seeing as we all have squads of men or beasts.

[MooFreaky]

Invid... Your entry is wrong pointswise.

As a result of Random chance you lost 2 Mutants. You are now under the point limit.
This result is final


Nareik123, your entry is also too expensive. Your Captain lost his Psycannon and you are now under points. You can also only have 1 Psycannon in the squad
This result is final

EDIT : Nar, I reverted the Psycannon back to a Stormbolter, purely because it doesn't cost anything extra. However, I did consider removing it completely.
The only reason I didn't was because I don't want to just have dead entries going around.


Paladine, your Noise Marines were 1 point over. You lost a Doom Siren by random chace.
This result is final

(An I10 PF with 4-5 attacks? Nice.)

Where did you get this from?
Warp Scream reduces enemy I by 1.
Doom Siren allows you to strike in I order, regardless of cover...

DOUBLE POST
Nar, just found your change...
But it still appears illegal.

Justicator doesn't seem to be able to wield an Incinerator or Sacred Incense...

[nareik123]

Nope, i quote directly from the codex.

Orginally posted from Daemonhunters codex
Incinerator*3

3. Inquisitors, Inquistor Lords and grey knights

Drop the incense then, you were right

[BL4D3W4LK3R]

"Grey Knights in power armor may only choose items from the Wargear list, they are well trained in the blessed weaponry of their order and are forbidden to use lesser items."

As a GK player this makes me very sad, but it's the sentence that makes it so Justicars can't choose weapons from the armoury. Sorry nariek.

[Dooks Dizzo]

Off Topic: I really like that sig Blade.

On topic, I am sad that no one see's my entry as a threat! Guess the proof is in the pudding.

You are a brave, brave man. Me salute you! oh, and my best wishes to Dooks Junior or Dooksette Junior, as well!

Thanks Cap! My wife says hello

[BL4D3W4LK3R]

Do you know where I got the quote?

[Dooks Dizzo]

No idea where the quote is from but it is very popular.

[BL4D3W4LK3R]

I don't know if it has been reprinted but it was a little blurb in my original Rogue Trader rulebook. I just always liked it. Thanks a ton for doing the challenge for us.

[BrianGeneral]

Yeah, praise for Moo
ANd wish all good luck......Please bless me this time, the almighty Dice God!

[TS_ahriman]

Please bless me this time, the almighty Dice God!

Consider it done.

[MooFreaky]

Verybad.
Your Carnifex was illegal. It was both too expensive and didn't meet the requirements of the codex.
You NEED 2 weapon symbiotes, but have just 1.

However, as you have never played the game I didn't want to exclude you as you shouldn't know better.
Thus I added a set of Scything Talons, taking you further over the 200 point allowance.
Random Chance saw you lose Flesh Hooks, Mace Tail and Bonded Exoskeleton.
Your entry now meets the requirements of both the Codex and the Competition.
This result is final

The Groups have been assigned. Check them out! They are in the first post of the thread.

I recommend checking the OP regularly, as I will link to all battles from there.
I will release fights by groups.
I will keep the links to the engagements there, and keep it clear so it's obvious what goes where.
As these threads can move very quickly, so it's easy to miss a fight or take forever to find it.

Goodluck all.

Also note : There are too many entries to link to them all, so I've got the squad name next to the entries, so you can get a good idea of what you're up against.

[Dropkick]

Oh boy in with Zell's consripts, I think my hidden nob w/pk can handle the epistolary and the lictors, but those consrpits might just be too much too handle.

[Invictus]

Let me get this straight. Do the groups fight each other, or do the people in one group fight the other people from the same group?

Sorry if this has been answered.
