40k format for next GS?

1500 for sure. I've been playing 1500 pick-up games almost exclusively for months now and am enjoying them more. Less cheese. And, if games finish earlier people might be able to give the vendors a browse or take a quick peek at other areas of GS.

one other big advantage to 1500 is the game length, you get more turns in, especially when swarm armies are concerned

Indeed!

Playing 1500 on a 6'x4' board can be potentially brutal. It leaves a lot of open space to cover and can be punishing to a combat army facing a shooty army. Definitely makes for faster games, though.

true, definitely gotta have 25% terrain with a decent amount of that being big los blockers

I find it keeps agressvie lists in check and increases the balance quite a bit. I remember 1250pt tournament GS did a while back and it was really challenging to finalize a list, challenging in a good way though.

For sure. It forces you to make some hard choices about what you need/want.

1500 points seems like a good number.
I normally do pick up games between 1500 to 1850 so its great

Not trying to be annoying but do we know the points limit yet? 1500 or 1850?

Last year was amamzing and I convinced two of my buddies to come out for this one.

well I've been waiting to hear about this myself for a while and just to stir things up again I feel the tournament should be 1850 if for no other reason then the fact that this is a qualifier for the G.T.'s throne of skulls tournament which is 1850 and anyone who wins should have had to prove themselves at that point level.

but that's just my opinion yadda, yadda, yadda...

That's a good point. 1850 works it just means a busy day.

No details on the missions? I'm curious if you're going to use the "each vehicle in a squadron is a KP" thing again.
