Hello Everybody!

As you may or may not be aware we have recently travelled to Watford to play a few friendly games of Warhammer only to lose in tragic fashion 4 games to 1!

To avoid being labeled as gamers who play for the love of it all, we are going to Readings Spiky Club to show our considerable metal!

If you are interested and can make the above date, post here now so we can confirm numbers with Spiky an also gives us time to work out transport etc.

QBERT!!!!!

I'm interested in coming along to this, should be able to make Sep 27th too so keep me posted if want some ogres tagging along!

Wil

Thats one down! I'll post all details here Will but if you have any ideas on house rules or ways to screw them up please post!

Depends what you're worried about in terms of opponents' lists.

As a generic, I'd suggest some kind of limit on magic to encourage a more level playing field, but this could hamper us just as much as opponents. For example, max 12 power dice, irrespective of channels. Won't help Beastmen or Tomb Kings though...

Don't know what armies we'd be taking, but you could introduce a 'match-ups' system to try and get favourable battles.

Best way of doing that is whichever side goes first puts forward an army, other side gives them an option of 2, they pick one and then the rolls are reversed.

Would need a few people playing though...

If I can get a lift with someone, count me in. I can chesse it up with the best of them! Tho I do find the more balenced army is the better way to go.

Pencil me in for the challenge, I need to raise my game after my poor show at the Watford event.
Think it will need to be the Skaven Plague Monks & ABomb combo led by Skrolk

Will likely be travelling from London directly.

Thanks Jamie, lifts won't be a problem I'll organise closer to the time.

Phil, I like your spirit keep me informed if your plans change.

Will I think 12 power dice a phase is a must to stop those Dark Elves/tzeentch/ death magic armies.

What does everyone think to no special characters and a 400 point limit on units excluding characters?

Errmmm. Phil.

Try double Abomb, double Doomwheel, double grey seer.

Then you have a competitive skaven army.

From what I saw at Midlands Open, nastiest list (not including Vermin Lord, for which there was a separate prize), included:

(something like)

Grey Seer: Screaming Bell

Grey Seer

BSB: Storm Banner

Engineer: Lvl 1, Condenser

Engineer: Lvl 1, Brass Orb

Engineer: Doomrocket

3 x 40 slaves

2 x 30 clanrats (or 1 stormvermin if you prefer): Plaguewind mortars

3 rat darts (1 packmaster, 5 giant rats)

1 or 2 gutter runner units (as many as you can get, slings, poison attacks)

2 Abombs

2 Doomwheels


Pure filth.

Could also cap number of dice that can be channelled if you are worried by strong magic.

No special characters is pretty standard, but I'd argue for 450 points excluding characters as that would limit some armies in particular (ie daemons, beastmen, ogres to some extent).

Count me In on this one.

And Phil I fully expect you to win this time.

Cheers
Rob

As ever, I'm keen. Thanks for organising this Q.

Alright!

We have 6 as of this moment and so do they, so nobody drop out!

They are happy with all the comps so for completeness rules as follows:
450 points per unit excluding characters
No special Characters
Max 12 power dice per phase

No idea t the moment what armies we are playing, so prepare for anything!

Is this still going ahead?

If so, could someone give me the address of Spiky as I'll be going straight from work.

Cheers

Hi Wil,
Address is:
The Spiky Club Venue: RPOSSC, 6 Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 8EQ

I'll pick up Jamie on my way from work on Thursday (should be back at High Wycombe by 18:00-18:15 - Jamie where should I pick you up from?)
Then over to Spiky Club by 19:00

Cheers,
PhilP

Alright guys who put you lot in charge!

Its alright Phil, I talked to Jamie last night and we can can easily fit Jamie into Mike’s Chelsea Tractor and he can get into Wycombe earlier so it isn’t too much hassle.

So we were we could have a last minute brief on tactics and turn up as a united front, I was going to recommend meet up at the premier inn (Richfield Avenue Reading, West Berkshire RG1 8EQ) about 400 yards up the road before driving down. If we aim to get there for 6.45 it will give us a bit of time.

I want to use the match up system we used last time. Each team to put forward an army, the opposition then puts forward 2 armies for them to choose to fight. So now you know what army list your using (hopefully!), have a think which armies you would be good against and which will be tough (I don’t want to play ogres ever again!).
