Yes, just PM me the list. If I have open slots, I'll include yours - but know that I'm running very low on free slots.

As for reading material, everything you should need to know is in the first post of this thread and in the "What is VoteWar?" thread.

Especially not a cheese baller eldar list.

Oh, I don't think we need to randomize blood angles. No matter what they roll, it doesn't change the outcome too much. However, for the DE combat drugs, each roll is ENTIRELY different, and has a very different effect. I guess what I'm saying is that in the eldar or BA example, the roll determines the degree of the effect. In the DE case, the roll determines the effect, so the DE should be randomized, and not the other too.

Also, for the record, not all aliatoc lists are cheesy!

Not many. It looks like I'll be closing submissions today. I'll have an exact number later on today. But I can tell you it is more than 24, but that's all right.

I have a list from you. I may not have error corrected it yet, though.

I think it starts today and runs for a week. I'm not the one running it, so I'm not totally sure.

[SilverMane]

Whos running it then?

[Grey]

Good luck all.


Hey Caluin, did my list get in?

If it did, I'd like to start the trash talk by saying that it will get to at least the semi-semi finals.


Well, I guess that's not saying much.

[Silver Wings]

Oh no, not this again. Last time it was a competition to see who had increased thier armies lethality by how much.

This VW i've entered an army list from something i've only just started. As a road test as it were. However well it does i'm happy as long as it wins once.

How do people feel VWMini went? I thought it was a little off the mark. Too much tailorng to terrain and combat.

TheWamp, I believe. Also, I just read somewhere else that the official start date is the 26th, so on Sunday.

Ofcourse it did! You were one of the earlier submissions.

I'm closing submissions. I have 28 confirmed lists, and I think that'll be plenty. The lists are extremely varied which should make for a good VoteWar. For instance, we have only one Eldar list, but we also have a Witch Hunters and a Daemonhunters list. Space Marines are still the majority, but that's to be expected.

I think the only army not represented in this VoteWar is Necrons, and ofcourse some of the specialist armies such as Death Guard, Black Templars and what not.

Hmm witchhunters. . . so are we going to be giving the opposing HQ's Psychic Apocalypse? (if they qualify) I've never been clear on how that worked in a tournement setting. If so that would be another one of those roll things where the roll makes a big difference on what exactly happens, it's a choice between 3 very different psychic powers.

Other than that, I find it kinda funny that the army that won last time didn't show. I'm happy to see that there is a nice spread, sounds like it will be an interesting votewar. Thanks for all the hard work Caluin.

You know, I've never had that come up. I'm not exactly sure how that'd be handled. I've always assumed that the Adversaries rules are optional. The Psychic Apocalypse is the only thing that'd be viable since everything else requires points, but those psyker powers are just plain mean.

I honestly can't understand why anyone would want to play Witch Hunters if they can expect their opponents to be fielding a Psychic Apocalypse every game, especially when one third of those games include Puppet Dance.

I'm inclined to just say to treat it like any other normal army.
