40Kon - The Ringer Army

While In a perfect world I'd have a perfect number of players show up for a tournament, I'd never need a ringer.

Alas, we don't live in a perfect world. and nobody wants to pay for an event and sit out for 2 and a half hours.

So A ringer is always a necessity.

This is the ringer army for the montana 40kon.

Now, a Ringer is not there to beat face. It's there to fill space.
I believe that if you play against a Ringer you get a win. Period.
That's just me.

I'll likely be playing the ringer, but not necessessarily.

If you play against the ringer you get 1 thing only automgically. A Win.
Since the 40kon Will be based on Both wins and points, this just does 1 thing. gets the first round's opponent into the upper bracket. They must earn their points. If I table the army I come up against, they have a large problem because they play with the big boys with very few points. If they beat the everliving crap out of me, well, they belong with the big boys anyhow.

Every other round of the event you always place the ringer against the Lowest player in the event. it's a non-issue.

Is it fair to everyone? not always. but life is not fair, we just deal with it as best we can.

Also, First round the Ringer plays a RANDOM player. so that random player could be the person I play most often, just as likely as it could be the person from Nova Scotia that I've never met before. There is never any malice in the Ringer's Opponent.

Ever.

Tourney Time!

So, I have a 1500 Point Tourney tomorrow. I'll be taking my Drop Salamanders. I need a few more games with them to get that "Feel" before I take them to Ard Boyz, this seems like a great opportunity.

I love tournament Play.

My List:

Vulkan

3x Drop Pod Dreadnoughts w/ MM&Heavy Flamer

2xDrop Pod Tac Squads x10, Flamer/Missile Launcher

1 Drop Pod Tac Squad x10, Flamer/Multi-Melta

3x Land Speeders w/ Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer

So in 1500 Points, I have:
21 Bolters
3 Bolt Pistols
7 Twin Linked Multi-Meltas
7 Twin Linked Heavy Flamers
3 Twin Linked Flamers
2 Missile Launchers
6 Storm Bolters

I'm Thinking that those should be enough to deal with most of what I'll run into for this event.
1495 Points

Wish Me Luck.
