Tournament Prep Series: How to Prepare

[@dominicpitassi1989]

As someone looking to get into tournament play, this series is just super helpful in figuring out what I do and don’t need. Keep being awesome!

[@VT_Jord]

I'm so glad this has helped you! That's what we want, there are still a few more to come for the series too!

I also recommend glue for emergency repairs. Never been to a tournament without something snapping off.

Getting ready now for my first tournament coming up in May and this series has been awesome! Extra awesome for providing the list in the description.

Really hope Steve tells us about that Dark Angels list he he got on that tray. I am fairly new to the hobby(close to 2 years now). I would absolutely love learning something new about my army from him! Great Vid as always fellas❤

[@VT_Jord]

I don't think it was a proper list just some models we had on the side but I could be wrong 😂 I'm sure we can do some dark angel content in the future for sure!

Prepping for Battlefield Birmingham 22 in March, a little way off now but need to get my head into the game! Death Guard rhino rush list, booooooyeah!

Is it too soon to make a "Tournament prep Item #1, read your stratagems properly" joke? I'd also add some small, no mess snacks like fruit snacks. People really underestimate how tired you can feel after standing for 8/12 hours mostly on end. Especially towards those later stages, a nice little boost of sugar can make the difference.

No issues with metal models as a carry on while traveling by air?

[@Delphineas]

Wait, objective markers? Wouldn't those be provided alongside the terrain at a tournament table?

[@Johnnymarzo]

Question about army lists and wargear: When you have a unit in your army, does the wargear for that unit have to have the same wargear all the time through the entire tournament?

[@Johnnymarzo]

Or if I have a 6 man unit of inceptors for example and I opt for plasma, does that 6man have to be plasma the entire tournament?

[@Uncle_Geo]

Yes

[@VT_Jord]

Yeah once your army list has been submitted and it has gone past the deadline date then that's the list locked in, no changes can be made from then on ☺️

[@Trukson79]

Also remember many (most? all?) tournaments use WYSIWYG rules, so if your inceptors are built and painted with plasma you are generally not allowed to play them as bolters and vice versa.

[@Johnnymarzo]

@@Trukson79 oh definitely, I just magnetize everything so I could probably pull it off

Played 40K since I was 11… I’m now 35. Always casually with a small group of friends. In recent years I’ve been more and more drawn to the idea of trying out a tournament but something keeps holding me back. I’m not sure what.

+1 for deodorant, I bring a can every time and make no secret of applying it, break the stigma, its not nice being surrounded by a miasma of BO, yours or others after a 2 day GT 😂

[@Chasemcloud5745]

Take toilet roll. Nothing worse at a tournament needing to use the golden throne and the event has no roll in the cubicles.

[@mefastest]

Not something you need to bring, but please take personal hygiene seriously. You're going to be on your feet in a stressful situation for hours. No one wants to play against someone that smells like nurgle.

[@AncientIrishCelt]

Wasn't paying attention. Forgot models and pissed on the table.
