Last week a two days tournament happen in Paris at the Waaagh Taverne.
25 players were present from France, Switzerland and Belgium.
Along the tournament was a painting conquest and a trade hall.
At the trade hall on sunday we have the pleasure to see 3 sculptors from OKB14, Winter's Bioforge and Void Crucible. So I can feed you some news and maybe soon some more pics.
OKB-14
The 3D blast markers are now available as resin cast and at about half shapeways prices. OKB14 will give soon the new shop VPC link. Orbital defences are under discussion to follow the same way as resin casts, but no release date was given.
Legion Battleship/Grand cruiser prototype was presented and boy its gorgeous. I'm waiting for his agrement to post some pics.
VOID CRUCIBLE
The specialist ordnance and torpedoes minis. he had come with a limited edition of ordnance that can serve for GW eldars and dark eldars. Well sold out on the day. Let's hope he will make a version for his shop. He was also presenting a project for some xenos transport and other cargo ships, on this last point he doesn't know when he will make them available on his shop.
WINTER'S BIOFORGE.
Bugs spaceship make damn proxies for Tyranids ships. Winter's is finishing the new bug cruiser model which could be available soon. As he was present, we have asked if planned to do other races. He answered that he wanted to finish bugs ships range first, but that biomechanics elves ships were under consideration.
To give you an idea of the biomechanic concept, I would present one of its old custom. This is just to give an biomechanics idea, the biomechanic ships should differ a bit from this GW craftworld eldar conversion:

Do you have list of the different fleet da that participated? :)
-
The post right before yours? ;)
3: IN (Armageddon)
1: IN (Bakka)
1: IN (Gothic)
2: Eldar
2: Chaos
2: Orks
2: Necrons
1: Dark Eldar
1: Tyranids
That's a nice lot of diversity! I wish BFG tournaments would take off here; even at Adepticon there's only 10 or less people playing, but I think that's mainly due to the fact that everyone is playing everything else that weekend. Maybe if we host one on a different weekend...

Great to see bfg alive and well! And I'm loving mr okb. I have the defence stations, and would love him to line up the defence bastion.

Intriguing choice of rules mixes. A few questions:
1. Do you have access to the 2007 FAQ? I'd long forgotten it and would like to read it again.
2. Why did you choose the mix as you did? I would love to hear the reasoning behind the decision.
3. Did people choosing to play with different rules for the same fleets have any affect on the outcome? For instance, Tyranids not limiting their refits, or Dark Eldar having 130pt cruisers instead of 210pts.

1- Yes, I can send them to you if you want, but I believe they are available here on one of the forum links
2- Some Fleets did need a bit more love (Orks and FW Taus) or some corrections as they weren't updated by FaQ 2007 (AM, RT, INQ, Craftworld Eldars, Chaos other than Nurgle) to be more competitives and here FaQ 2010 Fleets Annexes did come handy.
3- No You had to play by FaQ 2007 and authorized fleet lists. So DE cruisers were 210pts and Tyranids have double ordnances and so on.

The BFG FAQ 2007 was not available on this site, but I found it via a google search. Is the reason you all chose it over the 2010 that it was official, as opposed to the 2010's unofficial status?

Yep, as 2007 is official it won the status.
The second point for FaQ 2007 was some players wanted to use FaQ2010 FaQ part only, some other Rules part and FaQ part and some didn't know how FaQ 2010 rules and FaQ worked. All this made for FaQ 2007 as a solid rock to be chosen.
When there will be another tournament, I think we will acknowledge FaQ 2010 FaQ part as valid (p19 to 31) too, it's FaQ 2007 with a few improvments or clarifications.
Not the Rules part (p1 to 18), there are too many divergences of opinions on these unofficial rules
