Please register your interest below. Closing date 20th February.
Once you have decided your army list (feel free to post for advice), you will then need to submit the list on the thread I will open close to the registration end date.
Once all lists are submitted the 1st round draw will take place, and which point you and your opponent will arrange a time to play via the Private message function.

Sounds fantastic - very keen to be involved!

EDIT - So having jumped in with both feet I spent an evening comparing diaries with my wife... My weekends are spoken for through to June, working 8-21:00 most days! I'd love to be part, it's such an awesome idea, and yet I'd just be the biggest scheduling menace on Earth. Sorry to be a pain - better to face up to the fact I can't do this now, rather than a few weeks in when reality hit! Will watch with massive interest.

First just register interest as you have already done. Then once you have decided your army list (feel free to post for advice), you will then need to submit the list on the thread I will open once registration ends on the 20th.
Once all lists are submitted the 1st round draw will take place, and which point you and your opponent will arrange a time to play via the Private message function.
Hope that makes sense and welcome to the tournament.

I will update the first post to add the clarity.

I'm in! I'm torn between getting more practice with my tournament list or playing a new army to get a new perspective...

Count me in!

@flatworldsedge: What a shame! Maybe you can try to act as a reserve, though. If someone ends up without a partner he can contact you as a last resort. You will have no time most probably but who knows, it might work out somehow.

Always seems to be one pop up, once closed however I have had no further issue, straight into the log in screen.

So can anybody who knows UB make a swift tutorial about it? Like, how do you make an army on there, how do you move the units and turn them and stuff like this? :) I just hopped on and made a closed game with just myself in it, and I couldnt really figure out how you wheel a unit that consists of more than one model?

Is this guide sufficient for a start?
To wheel a unit, you have to click the movement tray, not a single model. In the back of the unit, there is always a small green semicircle that you can use for this purpose. Also, you can drag the whole unit somewhere by clicking the tray.

Also one thing worth noting: sometimes UB gets bugged and both players see the same unit in a different position. This is most easily solved by deleting the unit and creating a new one. If there is a really important positioning thing, just confirm it with your opponent to be sure. :)

Thank you, Ambrodine!

Can I suggest that we use the finalized 8th edition FAQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwn ... sp=sharing

It solves nearly 100% of rules disputes using references to the main Battle Rule Book and integrates the Games Workshop FAQ and Errata into a single document. It also is indexed via page number, so looking things up takes seconds. It's a truly magnificient tribute to 8th Edition by Ben Mitchell.

Thanks! Appreciated the note - and I'm kind of gutted not to be a big part of this! Another week with all of 3-4 free hours at home, though, and two weeks of travel ahead and I know I'd be the biggest nightmare to get paired against. The tournament is such an awesome idea - I'll love reading the battle reports and seeing how it progresses.
