Welcome to the 3rd Penny Arcadian Warhammer 40,000 League!
And Munny Space Marines.
Also, Bjorn Says: GIVE ME YOUR FACE!
You can download the VASSAL wargaming application from this link here, and the 40K module from this link here. There is a new group of people working on this module, you can check the bugfixes, download the latest release, and keep up with plans for future revisions here: http://www.vassal40k.info
Here is a link to some premade maps..You load them as a saved game, there might be an error that is was saved with a previous version, but it will work. Also, if the scatter die doesn't work right you can replace it from the models tab.
Here is a link to an old user guide, some of the options have changed, and the screens don't look exactly the same, but there is a lot of basic information there that will help you get a feel for the module.
Rules:
Time period: until February 14th, Valentine's Day.
Army composition: you start with a Core (that you must take every game) of 900 to 1050 points; and a free section of 450-600 points, enough to make your total list no more than 1500 points. On January 1st, you can tweak your core.
Army list: Core + enough points to get you up to 1500.
Allowed Armies: All standard 40k armies (No Forge World)
Map: There are about 36 different maps included with the VASSAL package above. Randomly pick one to play on. Some of the maps have terrain and cover saves already determined. If not, agree with your opponent before the game how you want to play it.
Mission and Deployment: Use the VASSAL button.
How to play:
This is a challenge league, anyone can challenge another active player. However, they cannot play those players again until they play against every other currently active player. Challenges are valid for 72 hours (give or take the time it takes me to notice). If the challenge has not been accepted in that time the challenger will receive 1 point. If a player refuses/ignores/doesn't notice 2 challenges in a row they will be marked inactive, until they issue a challenge again. If you already have a game you are setting up you can freely decline a challenge, but you do not have to.
Scoring: 1 point for a draw, 2 points for a win.
Rule disputes: If something crops up in a game that cannot be conclusively settled, post it here and I'll make a ruling on how it should be played within the league.
Anything that needs to be further clarified? Did I leave anything important out?
When you signup please post your faction, time zone, core list, and the best day and time for you to play.

I'm jobless currently, so whenever is a good time to play!
I'll have to figure out a list tonight though...
-My times are erratic on weekdays (due to flying to different timezones for my job)
-but, my home is in the Pacific Time Zone (-8GMT) and weekends are my best activity times.
-I will make sure to post when I am active on the weekdays.

Now, question, with the rest of the points, can I increase the size of those squads or just add new squads?
Also I have never seen anyone take guardians using this codex, I am interested to see how they do.

Thoughts? I figure from there I can throw in a boat load of anything I feel like for the extra 500.
I'm on Vassal now, if you can hop on just PM me.
I've managed to save my army deployment with the little "how-to" pdf for vassel. (Very cool btw)
However, Im trying to get the maps from the OP into my program to so that I can select them in vassel. Im not sure where to drop them in the file structure or if I need to have it patched or what.
Secondly, what is the standard form of communication? irc? skype? vassel itself?
Thanks for your guys' help. At least I can get everything together before I get stomped :P
