30,000 views, folks - reckon we should celebrate with a Horus Heresy event...

Heresy Era WIP as promised...

Whoa! He's a fat fugger, ain't he!

That's a sweet-looking model, man. Which bits have you added (I'm guessing the hair and eagle wings)?

Make sure you paint him up good!

hes not fat... he's just a fan of Annies burger place!

P H - phat! So that should 3-4 primarchs to go against the primork s. ullanor is looking sweet.

Hopefully there will be a plethora of Primarchs!

They can't all take on Urrlak though surely...

I've a Primork itching to squash some humies!

You can head over there now to see the wip pencil draft for our Hive of the Dead cover art.

Towards the end of the Great Crusade, Horus assembled three Legions to take back the technologically advanced planet Arrigata from the separatists who controlled it; the The Sons of Horus, World Eaters, and Smurfs. Most of the planet was quickly conquered, except for the massive fortress within which most of the leaders of the planet cowered. Eager to be on his way, Horus commanded Angry Ron to take back the citadel and kill only the leaders.
Eagerly, Angron led the assault. However the fortress was heavily defended and the casualties were horrendous, a dozen World Eaters falling for a meter of land. Eventually, a ramp of corpses led up to a single breach in the wall, and the Marines plunged in. Filled with rage over their fallen brothers, they were merciless.
By the time the Smurfs arrived, the battle was all but over. The inside of the fortress was filled with the dismembered and mangled corpses of the defenders, for not one soul had been spared the vengeful fury of the World Eaters. It was a slaughter


On the 15th June at Warhammer World we planning to have the meet up.

It is a preheresy event, but I wont hold that against you xeno/2nd+ founding scum!

Kill points with bonus point for holding one the enter points of the wall

Scott - WE
Myself -WE

Matt - separatists (guard)
Still - SOB - (separatists feminist movement and refusing to follow a MALE (the Emperor) )

This will be a social gathering in which we pitch up and play! World Eater players will face off against the separatists as we playtest some Animosity "House Rules" and "Counts as" lists that we hope to include on future Scouring/Pre-Heresy era events, hence the name and fluff.

There are no competitions/prizes or campaign packs for this event, its just a social get together so bring along anything you wish to play and we'll all have a mix up! oh, and because of that, unlike our more conventional events, there are no tickets!

June 15th is open to anybody that wants to join us. Whilst the Cleansing game takes place other players will be able to play satellite games with each other and mix things up how they like.

Here is July's Campaign Pack. It is, as ever, available from the opening post when this one gets lost in our many pages!

Remember, you'll need to see our Animosity - Into the Fray pack to work out your units for the Hive of the dead game. You can find that on our forum, link through the sig box below!

Very good read and like the hint at the eldar army list!

Thanks dude... I aim to please.

Thanks again to the chilledmonkey for making it look pretty.

The pack looks amazing, as does the ITF pack. I'll be writing lists as soon as the new Eldar codex is released.

Fantastic work as usual. I'm looking forward to spreading Papa Nurgles love.

Just a thought about the eldar codex, we accepting some type of rules lap over for the event? (aint it normally 3 months from release date)

Just in case there nerf everything I painting

finally able to look at it! damn useless computers at home.
the pack looks great cant wait to play

I have to second marks point about Eldar codex overlap, if the new book comes out and destroys my army list i wont have time to get more stuff painted

If the new codex comes out and ruins your plans you, and anybody else who wishes, can use the old codex. You won't be able to use any new vehicles/characters or anything freshly released though so be careful dudes!

Hopefully the new codex wont ruin our armies, and we can use the new one

yeah i have high hopes that the new codex will be entirely positive and the issue wont present itself,
my main concerns are going to be wraithguard no longer being able to be troops
and Eldrad is supposedly dead/missing now according to the fluff so will he be removed from the codex.

During the 13th Black Crusade he split his soul across a number of stones and its believed that after he was "killed" hes lived on in those stones... but if he aint in the new codex keep hold of the old anyway. Hes in the fluff for the campaign so if the codex writes him out just put him in with his old stats etc etc

Rogal Dorn, ready to kill some Orks in November, though not with my dice!

Ok very jealous of that - More I look at your IF more tempting one army would be!

Finish your WE first dude, we need to see Angron join the ranks for Ullanor man!

I hope the chilledmonkey is suitably impressed as (hopefully) he'll be fielding him in November!

At least the eldar will be the last 40K that need work from 0pts to 3kpts lol

Better get a move on... tickets are available now!

http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/product_info.php/animosity-the-hive-the-dead-ticket-p-9795

£20 this time round! check the pack for all the details

Nice bit with Pedro. He will be there along with some new additions

Thanks dude!

Got the cover art for our next campaign pack... would love 45 likes on the facebook page to see it early!

http://www.facebook.com/animositycampaigns

Scott quick question, for the ITF game are the standard ratios for things like heavy weapons relaxed? ie can i include a single heavy weapon terminator in my list?

The list will allow for that but the elements that are restricted stack.

So a Chaos Terminator with, a reaper autocannon for example, would take up one 2+ armour option and a single heavy slot. A second Terminator with a havey flamer would take up a second 2+ armour option and a single template option.

Within these two mini you have used

x2 2+ Armour
x1 Heavy
x1 Template

Basically i think from what you've asked the answer is yes anyway Nick.

Cool but don't forget they also use up the AP weapon as well but they would be fun to use though!

Suppose it depends upon which CC weapon you give them but yeah you'd need to factor that in.

HotD cover art...

Cyborg Boars!

Ha, they look nuts...

do we have the old skool rules anywhere? I need to add these and sniper grots to the Ork expansion!

For god's sake stop it, will you! If you keep adding new units I’m going to go bankrupt not to mention as mad as a Weirdboy trying to keep up with the fluff. You sir have a twisted mind and a cruel streak.

How about a bubble chukka! I not seen one of those for a while, or a pulsa rocket lol

Don't forget that tickets are available now chaps... Give an animosity ticket a good home this summer!

Anyone fancy a Hive of the Dead banner like the one below? Then post this into your signature on your Dakka profile now!

ooooh pretty!

How is everyone getting on with the painting?

I've started to build flesh tearers... I'm quite excited about it, got a copy of ba codex on way to help me with wargear etc...

Zombie building this weekend... and the underhive for the Hive of the Dead game.

What are you guys working on this weekend?

I'm finnishing of my Nurgle Helldrake and then, I too am hitting the zombies.

Honestly, probably painting an avatar of war dwarf and barbarian for hero quest!

Don't forget the slayers tats!

That’s the Helldrake done, just 60 cultists and 60 zombies to go!

That's a sweet ass conversion nick! Me like!

Yeah, the heldrake looks wicked!

Thanks for the comments gents. I felt really wrong setting about a £45 model with my Dremmal, in hind sight I could have gone a bit further with the grinding.
Sorry about the poor picture quality I really need to make a light box and upgrade my point and shoot camera.

I concur... awesomsauce!

A lightbox will help immeasurably. Check out this link for some great guidance on macro photography:

http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/macro-photography-intro.htm

A bog standard £50 digital camera should be more than sufficient to get some decent pics (just make sure it has a macro function).

Hope that's useful!

Thanks for the link, it's the best macro tutorial I’ve seen.
Now if I manage to find any extra time in between painting zombies and cultists I'll try and make a light box.

Building my Flesh Tearers, can't decide whether to go with a Terminator Raclusiarch or a power Armoured reclusiarch... its an extra bod in the Crusader if I go PA, thats the only advatage I can see for the PA option but its a big deal as it will be one of the power weapon cc forerunners in the unit. 10 are set in stone bolter guys...

Anybody who brings a light box to the next event will get a big kiss by the way!

That will be me puckering up then I've just ordered a 50cm square light tent now just need some daylight bulbs to go with it. I decided I didn't have the time to faff about making one or the space to store it!

Thats awesome Nick, we will have some images for our competitions that are far superior to what my rubbish and broken blackberry can produce!

Well it was a busy weekend, in between spending time with the family I've assesmbled 60 cultists and primed 40 of them and built 30 zombies with another 30 readyto go.
I have no idea how i'm going to get them all painted in time, a rethink of my army list might be in order! It should be all good for the Dec Apoc game though.
Oh and the light Box/ tent has arrived as well.

Hey chaps... just one of my regular reminders that tickets are out there... http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/index.php/specials-c-161

Grab em as soon as to help us ensure a smooth and well planned narrative!

Here are a few pics of my Decimatordrake which I created in order to avoid the dragon...

Oh YES! that is a thing of brutal beauty. You must have the worlds best Bitz box to have all the parts to build that.

That is awesome my friend! It's a big bugger too, we'll impressed. Lets see if the emp children could get one later in the year!

Here is something I finished earlier in the week! War walkers, Wraithlords and Scouts to do!!

Its early days but I am hoping to add a list of players attending... with more success that the Veiled Regions efforts I hope. So the sooner you get your tickets the sooner your name goes on the list...

hint hint, ticket ticket!

Also, don't forget to get those zombies painted dudes!

That's a sweet looking flying decimator you have there, Geordie! Looks like it will be bringing an unhealthy dose of carnage with it...

I will be buying ticket for July on Friday. I will also work in my box of zombies this coming week, I have about 20-30 I think. They were donated by Ben C in his absence.

Just a quick ticket bump dudes.

Still painting Zombies... slowly! I keep reminding ,myself that they are for charity but it doesn't help me to progress very much!

LESS THAN 2 months until Animosity - In the Hive of the Dead.

Here are a few pics of recently completed Ork projects that will be making their gaming debuts in The Ullanor System in November!

1st up - BRUMORK. GoW Brumak Gargantuan Squiggoth cross over.

2nd up - Kaptin Badrukks battlewagon, The Black Squig!

Epic use of a rancor model dude, wish I still had mine!

I may have to give the ullanor date a go, as that's close to my bday and just screams birthday present haha.

Ultramarines? You'd be our first confirmed warrior of Macragge which would be cool! If you don't have them already we have rules stashed away for all the Primarchs if big rob is in your plans?

Campaign Packs are in the first post for those who want to check out whats going down... They're still WIP from the point of view of their final layout and look but not far of complete.

The Zombies so far... only my efforts in the pic as we haven't got anybody else's yet!

Nice work with the Zombies Scott.

I’m off to WHW today for a spot of play testing Death Guard army list options for the “Hive of the dead”.
I want to see which works best out of the following;
Typhus vs the much cheaper Chaos Lord with MON
7 vs 14 man Plague Marine squads
2 x 21 Zombies squads vs 35 man Chaos cultists with MON

The Helldrake is definitely in as is at least 1 Defiler

I'd guess the only advantage to a Lord with MON would be the cost as it seems like Typhus has some Gucci options and powers.

Let me know how you got on Nick. You'll get an opportunity to use Typhus at some point even if you choose not to lead your army with him.

Well, the play testing was a bit of a mixed bag really.
Typhus was a beast in combat despite rolling a 1 in his second round of combat with his Daemon weapon, gakker! That combined with his magic kill off 6 of 10 assault Terminators for the loss of 2 wounds, before he was backed up by a squad of Plague Marines.
The Lord had a quiet game, he was in with the 30 man squad of cultists who spent the whole game camped on an objective in cover. His random warlord trait did however go along way towards winning the game for me by enabling me to infiltrate 3 squads directly on to objectives.
As for the zombie vs cultists dilemma I’m still undecided, in the first game I ran 2 squads of 21 zombies. By using cover they were very resilient with a 4+ cover and then a 5+ FNP save against most of the shooting the lasted ages and were ridiculously cheap.
The cultists on the other hand I ran as a squad of 30 with MON, 3 flamers and a mix of 10 Auto guns and the rest with CCW’s, accompanied by the Chaos Lord. This did work really well they were surprisingly shooty and when made fearless by the lord stayed put despite being shot at every turn.
Here are the 2 lists I ran today both won comfortably and were fun to play;
1500 points
Typhus
Hellbrute, MM
7 x Plague Marines, Power weapon, 2 x Melta guns
7 x Plague Marines, Power weapon, 2 x Melta guns
21 x Zombies
21 x Zombies
Helldrake, Bale flamer
Defiler, Havoc launcher
Defiler, Havoc launcher
List 2 1500 points
Chaos Lord, MON, Black mace, 5+ inv
14 x Plague Marines, Power weapon, 2 x Melta guns, Icon of despair
14 x Plague Marines, Power weapon, 2 x Melta guns , Icon of despair
30 x Chaos cultists, MON, 3 x flamers, 10 autoguns
Helldrake, Bale flamer
Defiler, Havoc launcher

Got a few more Zombies painted up tonight. Will start working on the Zombified PDF troops later in the week. They're put together using the donated Mantic miniatures from earlier in the year.

Would be cool to see other folks zombies on the zombie thread...

Soon my friend, soon.

Been working on some more Orky madness for the expansion pack dude. Dragstas and Speedstas as well as Grot Snipers. There is more to come as well!

The zombies are now all assembled, based and primed, now for the detail, god help me 52 to go! 10 to donate and the rest for my army.

Now, stop it with the Ork madness I have too many projects on the go already.

I@m looking forward to making a dragsta!

Pictures from Arrigata have been added to my gallery...

Was a great days gaming, and the World eaters won... somehow!

Ticket got!

Good stuff.

I've been looking at some of the new kickstarters for modular terrain and my humble efforts at building a hive for the Hive of the Dead are making my cry!

My ticket has been bought and the might of my craftworld shall be with you all in a few weeks time.

Top stuff Chris.

The Farseer puts the Eldar on a strong footing with FOUR players confirmed with tickets! That is the most solid task force established as yet for the HotD...

The Imperium should be ashamed of itself, and the Eldar rightly, hoity toity... which is their thing really!

You don't get to be the creator of Slaneesh without learning to be hoity toity

How many players per faction are we on?

I apologise for not buying a ticket before now but I will rectify this weds. I am thinking of booking a room at local lodge hotel too. Scott, I take it you want me to fetch the underground corridor stuff? It just fits in the car! I will fetch the zombies down with me if that's ok as it might be up to he last minute to finish painting them!

Currently painting an ogre kingdoms army, making a brave foray in to warhammer.

Are you on the Animosity forum Jon?

http://www.animosity40k.proboards.com

There are a few people toying with the idea of fantasy and starting some beginner events so they can learn low level point games together and move on from there.

Also, don't worry about your ticket delay dude, you're one of my solid dudes who I can rely on. Please bring the tunnel thing it will help me to sort a plan.

@The Farseer - As things stand we've got four Eldar in the faction, which is a pretty solid base line. One more Marine will make a 4 player asartes faction, that already figuring Jon's Crimson fists into the task force. The other races are looking at a player each at the moment but will increase over the next week or two no doubt.

Ticket bought! Just room to book now!

Good man.

You seem to have an American flag by your name, have you deserted us?

I have now secured room! Dreamlike gaming recommended 281 restaurant and rooms and they do a discount if you mention their name.

Just need to figure out the bloody rules for ITF thingy now! Any ideas Scott?

You can download it in the first post of this thread or I can send you an email mate?

The flag hasn't changed back on the laptop since I went on holiday last year...

Hi guys ticket sorted,
now just rhe small task of painting up my army for the game
if i can get it finished it will be a DA/ravenwing force, otherwise it will be vanilla marines,
what people think of this for my SHT on the last game? A Blood Skulls Ind Lance SHT conversion

Steve

For the 3k game if I run out of foc before I run out of points do I start into a second foc?

That's a scary looking tank, Commissar Steve!

This is the first time that with less than a month to go that i haven't had that hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach with regard to numbers! Thanks dudes! If we can get one or two more variety XENOS player on board it will be an awesome turn out!

Don't forget to build/paint up some zombies on round bases. If you go to our Facebook page you'll see my pledge to play out day one dressed as a zombie... but only if we have a confirmed (with pictures and stuff) 200 donated zombies before the event kicks off!

Nice to see some Blood and Skulls love there, they provided the superheavy I'll be bringing too (the dark gods willing) so let's hope we both get the painting done in time!

Simon

Yay, Blood and Skulls FTW!

That looks like a Glaive cannon, even if it is a plasma weapon

Eldar are 90% done - just my flyer to paint up and base everything! (I might have even posted them to help people with there lists... ie how to kill me )

Cant wait to get back on to more Imperial based fun for Ullanor!

24 zombies down, 36 to go!

Yay, zombies!

update on army for the game....

3000pts built

134pts painted

crap loads to do,
Good thing work is "deader than disco" as my desk has become a make shift paint station,
however the lack of undercoat and basecoat sprays is gonna be a problem!! (they have been orderd however the mail man seems to be in no rush to deliver)

Steve

Just go to Halford! That where i get all my undercoat now. it is great

Mikey uses Halford Grey Primer for his stuff... I've used it for undercoating the underhive but haven't ventured into undercoating a miniature with it yet, but it works otherwise Mikey wouldn't use it!

It's nice to see that others are getting Zombied out as well!

Things are really starting to heat up now... Ticket sales are good, zombies are being produced, armies are being painted, the underhive is in production, the campaign pack is ready to go to print and most of all I'm not in the least bit stressed... This is a delightful surprise to proceedings!

Everybody loves zombies... as if anything was ever in doubt

I'm hoping to make an eldar zombie

Is game five a singles came if 3k and only a doubles game if there are 2 players with 1500 each?

 TheFarseer wrote:

Yes. Basically for players who can't get 3k together. If there are any double teams they will likely play vs a 3k single player as well.

Thanks dudes!

Liked mate and I really do like it!

Thanks Nick.

Good new, for most of us... Not so much if you're holding out for a ticket for the Hive of the Dead! We're very close to max occupancy at the venue, which means tickets will soon be (fingers crossed) a sell out!

If you're hoping to join us ther (sales pitch time) act fast dudes you could miss out!

Right, so my Squat army is about ready.

But what I don't gave yet is any Zombies to bring along. How many, roughly, should each player be bringing?

Ta!

Graham S.

Its entirely at your discretion my friend, there is no minimum or max, just an understanding that we'll be uniting them on ebay once the weekend is done!

For charadee?! Then I'll get to work immediately!

Yes.. Help for Heroes

The painting progresses, Just the cultists for the "Into the fray" games to go and i'll be done. I've got 10 zombies for the HFH horde plus another 42 for my list.

When hell is full the dead will rise!

Right, zombie miniatures ordered - I've bought a "Bag O' Zombies" off eBay so I'll get painting once I'm back home from Scotland. They are 20mm scale but should look on once based up. You can see how the Zonbie model looks against a Marine and a muscular guardsman here:

http://hittingon3s.com/2012/10/22/chaos-is-back-a-nubs-thoughts-on-plague-zombies/

By the way, is there any need to include an HQ option in my 250pt skirmish team?

Thanks!

GS.

No need for Hqs dude

Cool, just a straight-up mob of Guardsmen it is then!

Zombie children??? I guess that adds an element of realism...

Its the Walking Dead barn scene all over again...

Right chaps... this week I finalise narratives, which as ever means that if you are planning on attending and have not bought your ticket yet you need to hurry. Its not that you can't still get a ticket and join us, it just means that any potential storyline for your army to play through is limited due to time constraints. With this in mind I ask all who want to come and are yet to purchase to let me know as soon as you do... this way I can make the adjustments as I go.

Thanks dudes.

Which one do you use, the large standard grey primer @ £7.49 or the smaller plastic grey primer @ £6.49?
The larger is much better value for money but is it safe to use on my miniatures?

Yes... I've used it on all the underhive so far and Mikey uses it exclusively to undercoat his minis. Just go easy on the trigger!

Cool, I'll give it a go then.

So a quick update on army....
All 3k is fully built, undercoated and basecoated...
As for fully completed... 1254pts done
I'm not spending every minute I'm not at work painting "honest"
Perhaps even some lunchtimes I've been see at my desk with some paints out
11 days of painting left go go gadget painting arms....

Halfords grey primer all the way! Also found they do a neat black matt too! Winner. Zombies will be on the painting table this evening, maybe some mp children too!

As for fully completed... 1254pts done
I'm not spending every minute I'm not at work painting "honest"
Perhaps even some lunchtimes I've been see at my desk with some paints out
11 days of painting left go go gadget painting arms....

This is, I have found, the most common method of preparing for any sort of organised gaming and one which I often subscribe to

It always seems to happen.

I am pretty much in the same boat, but doubt I'll be able to finish in time, since I just got back.

Ok I must be the only person I know that actually ready... Might not be to a great standard, but still...

Nick.. Any of primers are fine. Right back to some silly space elfs

I've put a 12 hour shift into the underhive today... Hopefully it'll be finished tomorrow! Had to stop, my brains was melting. Watching DREDD now... Feel like I'm still painting my underhive!

DREDD was a poor choice I felt like my brain was melting watching it.

I enjoyed it... much better than 95's Stallone offering (which would have been much better had he been Judge Dredd and not took his helmet off and become Stallone at all!

I want and ABC warrior...

Come on its Stallone.. MR. I am the LAW!!. Your right it is better but that isn't saying much.

The only time I get to paint is when watching something with my kids. Thank god they like adventure time better than Sponge Bob.

I enjoyed the new Dredd too!

@Crabpuff - you really from huntingdon or is that a mistake on your profile (Coming from an Ex-Chatteris inbred )

I currently live here but I'm an American.

Ah ok then

well i am not going to go into how my mini painting is going, the pair of hornets have been on my painting table for over a month and i have succeeded in just making it to 3 colours lol.
cant wait for the next event knowing that the orks are already at a decent army point and all i need to do is paint extra bits for the apocalypse game

One last push to get LIKES on Facebook for the choppa!

Hi Scott

Do we need to bring one or two copies of our army lists?

Cheers

Chris

One for yourself mate and one for opponents aye

Ok, so on the plus side I will be bringing 56 zombies to the party on Saturday. On the downside, the painting is awful - I think they are the worst models I have ever done! I had a clear picture in my mind if what I wanted, but sadly it didn't quite translate to the model itself.

Ho hum.

Anyway, apart from that I'm really looking forward to the weekend and playing some fun games!

GS.

Well I think I've finished, maybe, possibly, oh I bloody well hope so. Still I might change my mind by tomorrow morning and have to crack the paint open again.

Looking good - erm - I mean extremely horrid, Big Nick!

Good stuff Nick. Anymore pre-event army pictures people?

Top weekend Scott, you've definitely got the recipe right, it was a fantastic event. Good scenarios, fluffy army's, friendly players and the Hive of the dead table to die for! Please, please keep it up I can't wait for the next one.

Just echoing what Nick said - great weekend! I had a really fun time, playing games against easy-going opponents. What made the weekend special was the Hive of the Dead board - it truly was a sight to behold!

So Scott, thanks again for all the effort and time, it made for a really enjoyable weekend.

Thanks also for voting me 'Man of the Match' - it's really appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed our games as much as I did!

Graham S.

You're very welcome guys and thank you.

Looking forward to the next time we get together now... I will not be bringing ZOMBIES!

Thanks to all who donated them though. I'll post links and stuff to the various media sites when we get Typhus readied!

Here's a small taster of a recent game at WHW involving a few of the boys. World Eaters vs. Emperors Children at Skalathrax. It was total Kharnage...





If you want to see more, check out this link or go to the Animosity forums.

I'm going to try out my Chaos Apoc list tomorrow to see if like it more than the Orks. We're playing 11k a side. I'll put up some picks and might see if I can crack a quick battle rep.

Death to the Imperial scum!

Go big nick, or go home! Ha I knew the draw of power armour would eventually pull you away from the green tide!

Well that was a bloody affair!

The Chaos hoard suffered at the hands of the Imperial gun line, loosing my Hellhammer in the first turn of the game before it had fired a shot was gutting. However the shear joy of watching the Plague tower soak up several turns of army wide shooting before he gave up was really something.

A close run game, called after 5 turns as a draw.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Turn 3 was an epic, 66 terminators, 3 landspeeders and 2 drop pod dreads arrived ouch!

Still my 3k of deep striking Daemons made up for it.

Good game then dude eh?

Yep, it took a lot longer than I'd hoped and it was a shame to have to call it before a victor had emerged but a draw was fitting end for all the carnage.

Sam had an entire Salamanders Battle company, Predator assassin squadron( who's new D weapon rule was nasty) plus 30 terminators, 20 scouts, 10 Stern guard vets and a tone of supporting tanks. Supported by the Dark angles 36 Deathwing, 2 Raven wing bike squads, 3 Drop pod Tactical squads and 5 Dreads Led by Azrail and the command squad from hell. He was able to put a world of pain down with a tone of fire power and tasty combat ability. The supporting fire rule he gained form his formation was tough as well.

Animosity - The Ullanor Crusade, Nov 9th and 10th. For more info go to our forum and search the Pre-Heresy Era section. Our Campaign Pack is available there and ticket news will follow in the next few days. http://animosity40k.proboards.com/index.cgi

I have finished off my Greater Daemon of Nurgle and I'm really happy with him so I thought I'd share him.
I do need to leave the Chaos stuff alone and do some work on my Orks ready for Ullanor but I'm a total hobby butterfly!

Looks like a bid ol'badass!

Good man

Only 7 Ork tickets left and its not even 24 hrs on sale!

Hi Graham! Do you mind sending me the squat codex you started in word format? Got some ideas which i thinking starting working on later today!

Ork ticket purchased, yippee! Bring on the WAAARGH

Orks Orks Orks Orks, Orks Orks Orks Orks!

Only 6 Ork tickets left!

Hi!

It'll take me a while to get the codex into Word - at the moment it's in PowerPoint. If you have PowerPoint, that would be easier?

By the way, what thoughts did you have? It would be great to develop it as a collaborative effort!

GS.

That would work to Graham, we discussing it here so updates

But you ideas for the trikes got a strong response, and we want to start play testing ASAP really Simon/sirtainly plotting to make a land train....

We sadly using some one else fan dex currenty, and trying to mix it with yours (only i have a copy)

But yes Collaborative effort would make more sense for us all, since we all want to use the stunty little fellow soon

http://animosity40k.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rules&action=display&thread=123&page=1

Bloody stunties

I see a one dayer in the making here!

I'd be well up for some one day, Stuntie squashing action!

I feel a Waaagh coming on... greenskins vs stunties anybody?

Battle for Blackfire pass... 40k style?

Were Dwarfs in that?

It was gobbos in 7th ed Battle for Skull thingy...

We need an Ork vs Dwarf battle to rip off for the 41st millenium!

Now that sounds like a plan, maybe with the Rough riders army included as well? or open it up to all Imperial Ab-humans. There is a whole world of Fan-dex/ conversion possibilities there.

i would be up for that game, would love to have a rough rider army ready in time but i doubt that will happen any time soon lol

Well hopefully something will be ready for the new year, charge of thehw light brigade even.

Cool, in that case I'll distribute my work-in-progress Squat Codex once I'm near a computer again - probably early next week I reckon.

The main thing that is needed is some top-quality fiction pieces and some unit descriptions. Most of the units are complete in terms of stats, special rules and wargear, but one thing I have very consciously avoided is any points-costing as yet.

Once I've emailed around the 'skeleton' document I'd like to structure the development so that we complete one unit at a time (perhaps one unit a week?), rather than going at it piecemeal. I think that way we will end up with a working, cohesive army book in a relatively short period of time!

Fiction eh? Ill make some enquiries!

Cool - One thing, just remember lots of newer squats player folks will be using forgefathers (i own up to that to!) So some rules to reflex those models would be great!

Are there flogging to be a velar isn't of trollslayers?

I hate auto correct!

Is there going to be a variant of trollslayers?

Graham has got an entry for them Oath-breakers i would prefer to seem them called Space trollslayers seems a bit cheesy (granted we are talking space dwarves)

Stunties, eh? Round, hairy and bearing grudges so long, they've forgotten why...

Trollslayers? Oathbreakers? Berserkers? Orkslayers? Stompaslayers?

Whatever they're called, they need to feature!

I'm liking that already... more ginger hair in 40k is a must. Wait until I start my pre-heresy wolves!

Ok, I'm back from my holidays now and ready to distribute the latest draft of my Codex: Squat Stronghold to those who are keen to help get it finished.

If you do want to help out, please PM me your email address and I'll email out a copy (as a PDF) to you. I'll give everyone a day or so to say whether they want to help, and then I'll send one email, containing the PDF document, to everyone.

In the meantime, I will annotate the document, stating on each page exactly what needs to be done to finish each page off.

As I mentioned before, I suggest that we should finish off one unit at a time. Therefore, once everyone has had a few days to have a good read through the whole PDF document and collect their own thoughts, I will post up the first unit to be worked on. When the first unit is posted up, anyone with any suggestions can post their thoughts on the forum for group discussion. I will then update the master document based on the group's consensus decision.

Once the codex 'as it stands now' is finished, I'm more than willing to add extra units to it, but is like to finish off what is there first, before giving ourselves even more work to do!

Cheers,

GS.

PM sent - one of our number is considering a chaos squat army using necrons rules...

Could we not make a dark version and attach it to the regular squats upside down at the back?

PM'd ya my stunted cousin!

Hopefully the 2 land trains will have been done by the time we get the Ork/Squat game!

Not sure which side to play on now since I'll have a Megagargant and a Land Train!

I can help answer that, lend me the Megagargant and play the Squats yourself, easy!

Right you've had a day - where's the first version of this Ork Squat campaign pack? ;-)

You went for the Golgotha battle with Commissar Yarrick from the old White Dwarves, reet?

TICKET BUMP!

Don't forget... Imperial Players buy Imperial Tickets, Ork Players buy Ork Tickets!

Come on Imps... you're letting the Emperor down!

ticket bought! imperium hoooooooooooooooooo! although I cant stay all day Saturday due to a family wedding of which there is not a chance in hell of getting out of! that also means no drinking on the evening either-poo!

Things are hotting up in Ullanor!

Just a quick list to show the imperial players (and a heads up for us Orks) which legions and armies are inbound to the system! Not all of these imperial forces are ticket confirmed though!

Imperial Fists
Thousand Sons
Blood Angels
Blood Angels
Blood Angels
World Eaters
Emperors Children
Space Wolves
Squat Guard
Imperial Army
Imperial Army

So we're half war to a full house with the Imps! The Orks are nearly sold out so if you're green you'd better be keen!

Imperial Fists confirmed - ticket bought!

Beakies rule!

Ferrus Manus looks the nuts!

I hope we see some Iron Hands at Ullanor just to see him in the flesh in a game!

Ferrus does indeed look *expletive deleted* awesome!

Only 7 imperial places left... And 4 Orks!

Don't forget, early ticket purchase makes things much easier for planning the weekend. If you are joining gs please don't leave it until the last week to purchase a ticket as it will effect your opportunity to field more in the apocalypse or be involved as deeply in the narrative!

So is everyone ready then ?

You mean ready to kick some greenskin butt...? Then yes, of course.

Dorn is en route from the Novocastrian sub-sector, possibly via Leeds

He's in leeds on a shelf awaiting transport options...

I heard Dorn can no longer afford the insurance on his massive Volvo battlebarge, so he's commandeered a more frugal Yaris...

Aygo... come on, who'd drive a Yaris?

BTW - all the Orky Terrain is done for Ullanor but as always if you got some in your own collection, dont be scared to bring it

Has anyone started/done an Emperor model then?

I'm ready... just hope all the crap i'm bringing makes it in one piece!

Well, the dust has finally settled over Ullanor (and the Mechanicum have duly paved over it). Did everyone have a good time? I certainly did, even if my first game in about 17 years happened to be a monstrous Apocalypse battle!

Had a real good laugh, too, even when Dorn was tragically "Nobbed to death"...

Ha, Nobbed to Death!

Its seems our forum has taken up the duties we used to use this thread for...

In future I guess we'd best use it just to announce events!
