ARRANGE A GAME
Friday afternoon/night?
KIngs lot travelling down early again? (last time he only told me when he was already in the bar near closing)
Me popping by at zero notice is reliant on LH having had a good week at work and me depriving him of any family time (frankly a bit unlikely)

Saturday is the doubles tourney. 3x1500 games(750x2 as set down in rules pack Ending at 5:45
WHW technically shuts at 6, but I believe some people have been able to have sneaky games after this point (depends on how much this new crackdown is going to get in everyones way)


Apoc game on sunday
1 fully arrangedbetween Bane,KMB, Gordy,King and Stunty,Herne,Rich,Jo.

Wolflord havoc+chums are cruising the bar looking for some apocolypse action if anyone wants in contact him or start a thread
events/aos-march-event-apoc-register-here-by-11-02-11-t5078-75.html#p56898

Presumably some people will be playing pickup games, book first one here?

Having played a few apoc games..I really hope I can fit a normal game in by the end of the day (optimism)

Monday?- well you fools keep telling me monday is better.. but I won't be there so I don't care.. but apparently there will be 10 of you there so what you going to be up to- King take some cameras with your phone.

Anyone else noticed the WHW typepad website has been deleted?

Where are you lot finding the events diary?

What I really want to know is, when are KIng and Princess Ljundhammer going to have their epic battle for who is the master of the universe? (because King appears to be commited all the time LH has said he'll be in the building)

[mattjgilbert]

I don't think we are looking for apoc games. Maybe a larger one with 2 players per side but it's mostly pickup games for us on the Sunday.

We won't be there on time on the Friday for any games.

I've got a 1500 point 40k game against baragash pencilled in for the Sunday already. LH, do you want a rematch from the last time we played?

I really should get some lists together, especially for the tournament! I'm off to Prague this week though so it looks like I'll be list building and packing Friday morning before we leave! Don't expect GT power lists

[Ljundhammer]

I'll whore myself out on sunday. I'm supposed to be playing nige at some point, but we haven't worked that out yet...

I think Baragash was up for some AI?

Matt, I accept!

[BANE]

Toby, we are coming down Friday morning, be there early afternoon.

[Typhus]

I'll be up for a game Sunday. Maybe a 2 vs 2 game? I usually enjoy those the most. Matt, Ljundhammer, if you need one more count me in

Cheers
Typhus

[mattjgilbert]

Sounds cool - I'll bring a range of lists for the Sunday/Monday from 1500 points up so can play any sort of game which crops up.

[Baragash]

@Matt: yes

@Ljundhammer: should be good for AI, I need to grab my planes from my parent's loft this week so will confirm Thurs/Fri

[BANE]

Anyone around on the Friday or Monday want a 1750 game. Need to practise my GT list .

[killmaimburn]

I may be able to make friday.. I could appear at WHW around 2:30, and vanish around 6ish. How does that fit with you lot?

[BANE]

Sounds good.

[killmaimburn]

Anyone around on the Friday or Monday want a 1750 game. Need to practise my GT list .

For friday (assuming I can get there fingers crossed)
Whats your weak spot/area you want to work on/expect to face?, what do you want to play against?Fairly quickly I could bring out
1) Bike troops (really middle tier...although in new soft GT acceptable)
2) a mixed god demonzilla, (middle tier, but woe betide anyone who only took pie plates and melta and forgot plas and autocannons)
2b an epidemus (pure nurgle) list. (lots of weaknesses, but strong against armys that forget the basics)
3) Bloodhammer (bloodangels w/priests lots of flying stuff backed up by missile devs)although I did just pull 7 back packs off for saturday so some will have to mystically float..(Decent)
4) dual lash (default chaos) (decent)
5) some form of mechzilla (chaos 2 defilers 3 dreads dual lash, or BA lots of dreads and shields etc) (weak)
(My nids are attic'd and my orks (currently) can only do a very bland grey/green tide,although I do now have a proper kan wall)
I do have 7 drop pods (4gw) to play silly alpha strike with..but am not practised enough in that for you to gain anything from it.
So yeah.. pick one, preferably before wednesday night so I can start putting the minis in a case and fleshing out the list.
None of them will compare to guard of course

[BANE]

It's fairly well tested now, only really got to try it against a horde and I am playing that on Thursday. So I am happy for you to pick whatever you would like to use, thanks for the option tho my list is BA.

[KInG]

LH. I'm free Friday and Monday and maybe one of the nights if they let us play late.

[Ljundhammer]

Friday and Monday are a no no for me I'm afraid...

We'll see on saturday/sunday.

[Ljundhammer]

Matt, first thing Sunday for the game?

What points limit do you want, I'm up for 1500-2000. I'll be using my Witch Hunters for some revenge!!! At 2000 I get to put a load of crazy stuff in, which is fun for me, but I'll leave it up to you... How long does as game normally last for you?

Baragash, AI straight after (lunch dependant)? How many points? 100 to 200 can be catered for from my end - my models are sadly not painted In my experince AI lasts for around 2 - 2.5 hours no matter how many points you have. So whether we'll get another game (or 40k) with different opponents I'm not sure...

[mattjgilbert]

Sunday works for me.

I've been thinking about a "1st and 10th" list. Really just so I field all my scouts and terminators. Who needs regular power armour! If you fancy it I'll make that list up for a laugh. I reckon 2000 points. So about 2 hours?

Actually at 2000 points I _could_ sneak in my Sternguard although that breaks the no power armour theme... and I have no painted drop pod so you'll guess which vehicle to shoot pretty easily! Oh and no land speeder storms either so foot slogging scouts.

So while I love the theme, the reality might be sub-optimal Should still be fun though to see it.

[Ljundhammer]

2000 points sounds good & a couple of hours is what I was thinking!

Do you have any issues with inducted IG in a WH army? At 2000 points I may be bringing in some DH too (for added wackyness!) is that ok?

[Baragash]

Baragash, AI straight after (lunch dependant)?

Works for me.

How many points? 100 to 200 can be catered for from my end

I think my 10 planes come to about 175, but will confirm when I grab the stuff tonight.

- my models are sadly not painted

Only two of mine have paint on

[killmaimburn]

I wonder if GW really would throw you out for your £400 forgeworld minis not being undercoated?

[mattjgilbert]

Do you have any issues with inducted IG in a WH army? At 2000 points I may be bringing in some DH too (for added wackyness!) is that ok?

Sure no problem, you could include anything really and I'd believe you if you said it was legal!

[KInG]

Friday and Monday are a no no for me I'm afraid...

We'll see on saturday/sunday.

mmm looks like we'll struggle then I guess. Not even Friday night?

[Baragash]

I wonder if GW really would throw you out for your £400 forgeworld minis not being undercoated?

Mine are undercoated

Undercoated <> painted in my world

[Baragash]

@Ljundhammer: the planes come to 168, so I'll take whatever you call on the points as I've not played before

[Ljundhammer]

168 sounds good, I'll try to get as close as I can

[Ljundhammer]

Matt, Baragash

Sorry about missing the games we'd arranged on Sunday...

Wife was rather stressed having looked after the kids all week after I'd been working late every evening. Thought I'd take the hit on you guys rather than the wife (on the basis that I think she feeds me better). I hope KMB pased on my apologies!

I'll get you next time!
