Glad to hear we are up and running.

I'm in Norwich too, whereabouts is the venue in the city and what sort of games are you all into?

I've got armies for 40k/ Fantasy/ Kings of War.. will be getting into the game Warpath when the models are released too, if anyone wants to try that out (it would suit the club name, at least!).

I probably won't be doing much gaming until September/ October time, got a holiday coming up and a few other things.. making an exception for the eastern front show next month, though.

- Mark

It's based up at bignold school. Near the old hospital and chapelfield.

If your around tomorrow come down to games workshop on exchange street and we can talk about.

I'm working tomorrow then going out, but that location works well for me, I live about 20 minutes away.

Got a lot going on at the moment, but I am definitely interested. Took a long break from gaming while I was at uni but want to get back into it. Was a regular at veterans nights at the GW once, but that was about 6 years ago.

Fair enough.

We'll see you there hopefully.

Good that we're up and running.

Might be worth bugging the guys over at the Norwich Last Stand at some point.

Might be worth bugging the guys over at the Norwich Last Stand at some point.

Sorry what do you mean bugging?

Meant getting in contact with them, possibly even arranging a club vs. club game.

Whilst that would be a fun prospect, I'm of the opinion (as a mere member that is) that we should only consider arranging things like that once we've got our own house in order.

Afterall at this stage all we've really got is a name and a room, we still needs to sort out scenery, boards etc. Which I assume will be started on with the remainder of the club funds (aka the initial membership fees) after the first couple of months rent are paid. Still if all members pull together to build and paint what we need it shouldn't take too long to get a decent selection of scenery.

I agree Nickles, we need to get on our feet first, still a good idea though.

my first post on our club thread ... yay!

If anyone needs my number just PM me, if is absolutely NOT to be given out without oking it with me first. thanks

Sorry all was really busy this weekend, so only just got round to checking the threads.

A little of bit of friendly competition is definatley something to keep in mind for the future. However as others have suggested it is still early days, lets learn to walk before we pick a fight

By the way the first thread is now updated with this months meeting dates and times.

Looking forward to it, no idea whether I'll be there or not due to work issues (for training my hours are changing on a daily basis) and I also have no idea whether or not I'll be able to bring my stuff along as it depends on where I'm working, if it's where I currently am that's a big no, but if I get the other job I'm waiting to hear back from a possible yes.

Confused? I certainly am.

I'll let you guys know either way when I know for certain (probably the weekend).

Just so you guys know i will be bringing cake on the 15th of august.

Birthday? or do you just love cake?

Birthday.

It'll probably be somewhere around half 7 or 8ish

Up and walking we certainly are, running.... not just yet lol

As far as Monday goes we kinda need to know who's playing who and what we are playing. Due to the table space there maybe a few 2v2 or even 3v3 etc etc games going on.
So first of all i'll put up a challenge for a firestorm game, if some people want to try it out (tony and Nick, hint hint). Or even a fantasy game 2v2 2000 points each?

I've got 500pts of Firestorm painted and could get 750pts painted by Monday. If I'm going to be there I'd happily have a game. I just need to figure out how to transport my fleet since annoyingly the Sorylian ships need to be stuck to thier bases otherwise they don't balance properly particularly that monster of a battleship.

I would like a 2000pt fantasy game if possible.

but i can do 1750 40k if anyone wants it.

Argh my life is confusing, I think I can guarantee my attendance on Monday (and every subsequent Monday too). This is because I have just been offered the job I was really after, boy oh boy is this Monday going to be a busy one, I've got to accept that job and hand in my notice for the job I started this week.

See you all on Monday, I'll probably be in an annoyingly good mood.

PS: I'll see If I can bring about 1000-1250pts of 40k as well as the Firestorm stuff. Oh and I'll also bring along some books for other games too (probably Dark Heresy and Flames of War) if anyone wants to have a look through them.

Nice one Nick, Firestorm seems to be on then, 500 points is all i've got. So just a 4x4 table will do and i'll need to look through the rulebook then.

Yeah a 4x4 is more than large enough. I need to read the rules too, I know the basics though.

EDIT: Erm I might have accidentally bought enough Flames of war stuff to field 2 armies today..... if anyone wants to try it when I've got everything painted up (could be a while since I've got 221 really tiny men to paint!) let me know. If you're really interested I bought a Late War British Rifle Company and a Late War German Fallschirmjägerkompanie. The boxes only contain the absolute basics (ie a bugger load of infantry) but they're enough to get started.

EDIT2: Just worked out the points, the Brits come to 410pts and the Krauts 420pts. That'll do to start with I think.

I know that spanky wants to get into Dust tactics, and a few others too including myself, but i just found this http://fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=2512

Basically Dust Tactics the Boardgame transfered to tabletop
Might be worth waiting for.

i finnish at 8 tonight so i wont be gaming, but i will be there bout 20past 8. that gives me plenty of time to chin wag with everyone.

Have a good night lads

Hey guys. Apparently Last stand is changing premises to pub, and Obviously I'm not old enough to go. Is it all right if I come down tonight?

Just a quick note to confirm that I will be along today for the whole evening. I'll definitely have my Firestorm stuff with me along with 1k points of 40k and a big pile of rulebooks for you lot to look through.

Basically Dust Tactics the Boardgame transfered to tabletop
Might be worth waiting for.

Too late already ordered it however it says the models are transferable so i'm golden.

@ lorna - i've had a pm from someone who would like to join and has 3000 point of Bretonnian so hopefully you'll be able to get the WHFB game you want.


As this is the first session I think is important to remind everyone to be patient, we may be a little slap dash at the moment but we'll get more organised as time goes on.

Personally i'll be there slightly before 5:30, to try and meet the caretaker, not sure what i'll be bringing but I'll probably have to do two trips.

woodbok wrote:Hey guys. Apparently Last stand is changing premises to pub, and Obviously I'm not old enough to go. Is it all right if I come down tonight?

Yes it is, from what I've been told it isn't that far from where Warpath is.

3000pt Bretonnian force?

If it turns out to be a posh spoken ginger haired chap then I know him.

I think that went rather well, ok it was a bit rough around the edges but everyone got a game and we've got some spare cash to start buying scenery.

I enjoyed the Firestorm game even if we got everything wrong I just enjoyed unleashing the power of my battleship and causing a reactor explosion.

Looking forward to Warmahordes next week, I'll see if I can bring D10s and character sheets for those who'd like to have a go at producing some Dark Heresy characters.

That would be great to star the dark herasey characters Nick Awsome game of Firestorm too!
Just something i found.... Lorna look.... http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=90536

Warmahordes will be fun with my 3 models against your 15 LOL

You guys played Warmachine?

May have to pop down at some point when I've sorted out an army again, been struggling to get peeps to play it down at the Last Stand.

That being said, a bunch of 'em have started playing Malifaux... ¬_¬

Haven't played it yet but we will be next week.

all game systems are permitted (space permitted of course)

I'm up for some Dark Heresy action.

Me and forbes have arranged to play 40k next week, so we will be taking up a table.

Will we be having more tables next week?

Oh and btw lorna did you find the key?

Will we be having more tables next week?

At the moment we are limited to the same number of table we had this week, but considering the number of people who turned up it was more than enough.

I don't want to sound like a douche and don't want to state the obvious.

The key is going to be for people to get playing straight away, there was a lot of milling around to start with, so time was lost. Nick and Gorrillawiazard were the only two to jump straight to it. I want everyone to be able to get a game but that is reliant on you guys as much as it the comittee members, we don't want to be telling people what to play and who to play against, that is why this thread was created so you can sort a game out for yourself.

@ Lorna: Don't want to pee on your cornflakes but Forbes is not a full member and thus will take lower priority than any members that turn up so you may have to change your plans.

I know that. We can wait for other game to finish. We don't mind the waiting. And the milling will probably stop once we get into the flow of things.

And i don't wat cornflakes.

@woodbok, no i haven't had time to look in my bag yet.

I know you know and I know that you know that I know that i'm a control freak you know

I know

So how many of you want to make a start on getting Dark Heresy up and running next week? I suspect all we'll be able to get done is character creation as that can take a while particularly if you want to randomly generate everything up to and including whether you're left or right handed.

I'm up for Dark Herasey next week Nick, It's going to be random all the way for me m8

There used to be a small number of players up Battlenet and Duncan still sells it, he had most of the new stuff when I popped in yesterday.

Also think Starwynn will be stocking more of it, probably to partially replace their GW stock which they've stopped selling.

If they can get any in, getting any Warmahordes stuff in the UK is damn near impossible for retailers from what Duncan and Starwynn have told me in the past.

Duncan still manages to stock a far bit and can usually order in most things he doesn't have in stock, though I don't understand which Warmahordes is difficult to get hold of in the UK when theres a company in Liverpool producing the models on Privateer's behalf.

Langleys has lots of Hordes and warmachine stuff... check it out.

Really looking foward to Monday guys, is anyone up for a 2999 Fantasy game? just once i want to field my monsters! also it could be SOM¿

Formosa wrote:Langleys has lots of Hordes and warmachine stuff... check it out.

It does?

Swear I only saw GW stuff when I popped in a couple of weeks back.

Hmm since I need to buy a bugger load of Vallejo paints from them at some point I might pop in today and see what they've got.

I think Langeleys has cut back on some stock, they used to do some secrets of the Third Reich but when I went in there the other day they didn't seem to have it any more. Wasn't looking for Hordes or Warmachine though so couldn't comment.

its eye level above the GW shizzle, Hordes is the with the funky green glowy writing isn't it?

Formosa wrote:its eye level above the GW shizzle, Hordes is the with the funky green glowy writing isn't it?

I believe so.
Oh, and is anybody up for a game of 40k, 1750 points?

I talked to the bignold caretaker the other day, and we have changed rooms to the room opposite where we was last time. bigger room, and gas taps.

Where we were last time? you mean were not in the original room with the piano and drums in?

No, the science room. I'll be there early, to show people. Oh, and Alex knows where it is as well.

thanks for the heads up, sooo, Fantasy game anyone?

Erm I'll almost certainly be getting there late so how the hell will I find it?

It's next door. If you remember where we went in last time, It's the door straight ahead, First door.

Right...

No straight ahead not right... lol

Damn, not very good at explaining am I.
The door will probably be open. If it makes more sense, remember the alley we went in that led to the door to the mobile? Well, the door is next to the alley.

Yep, last time I dropped in they said that they're waiting for the warmachine 2.0 release to fully roll-out with the new starter box and everything before they start stocking it.

I'm still too crazily busy at the moment for gaming.. even the evenings aren't clear... but I will be taking a day off to go to the Eastern Front show in a couple of weeks. Anyone else going?

OK chaps I've picked up a Cygnar battlebox for Warmachine, expect to see me when I've gotten my hands on updated cards.

guess i better get a warmachine, any cool monsters?

Don't forget that Warmachine and Hordes are completely compatible with one another. Gives you a decent number of factions to choose from.

edit: @scarletsquig, I'll probably try to get there.

Well i had a look in Langleys and there isn't any Warmahordes stuff in there.

@ Formosa: Hordes has Warbeasts which are monsters as such. Specially if you want to play Minions as they have giant crocadiles and turtles as Warbeasts. Warmachine has Warjacks which are esentially giant robots.

I went in there the other day, and there was.

Anyway, does anyone want a game of firestorm armada next week? Not tomorrow, but the week after. I bought the starter box of dindrenzi.

Should be able to bring my fleet along.

i like the look of the mercs, are they a playable faction?

Cool. Oh, and a few questions about the models. Do you make them yourself? If so, then what glue should I use? And how breakable are they? (Judging by the Dindrenzi models, they look quite fragile.)

didrenzi are very solidly built, hard to break.

You do need to assemble them (unless they're Aquans which are all 1 part models), usually the models are either all resin, all metal or a mix. You should use super glue for them.

I can't imagine you'll be able to break them that easily the resin that Spartan use is similar to the stuff Forgeworld and Privateer Press use rather than the soft stuff GW use for the Finecast range.

The only thing you really have to be careful with is the flying stands which can be fragile but that's not an uncommon problem with any model range.

as nick said, also try to magnetise the flying stand.

Do you mean magnetise the ships to the bases?

Basically put a magnet in both the flying base and the ship, this in theory will let you keep the model securley attached to the stand whilst keeping in removable.

Annoyingly that wasn't possible with my Sorylian fleet because the models are notoriously unstable.

EDIT: BTW I've printed off a whole load of extended character sheets (more useful than the basic one IMO) and the rulebook FAQ for Dark Heresy.

Formosa wrote:i like the look of the mercs, are they a playable faction?

Warmachine?

Yes they are, theres also a number of different Contracts to play.

OK, my and james are wanting a game. I presume there is going to be enough tables for this, but how many tables are going to be used up by the warmahordes players?

1 4x4 is all that needed for Warmahordes it's only Gorilla and myself this week (as far as I know anyway!)

Nick/Mark
Can you guys bring your firestorm fleets, as i would like to try the game out, I'd appreciate it. thank

I have also brought my 40k and fantasy (1750 and 2500, respectivly).

As per the rules, I will be doing pay and play till the first monday of september, as that is the start of the month.

Thanks guys, as always if you want my contact details, then PM me

Anthony.Wilkinson@swinton.co.uk

Probably not, since I'll be sorting out Dark Heresy for you lot (character creation) and playing Warmahordes (first game), I really doubt I'll have enough time to get a Firestorm game in too particularly since I'll be turning up late.

BTW as I mentioned on Thursday Martin should be coming with me to check the club out. I'll only know for certain this evening when I leave work.

OK, just started making the forum. It will be called warpathgamingclub.

Connor with an "O". Anyway, I'm still working on the permissions, so the more people that join the quicker I can advance the website.

Doesn't look too bad, not sure we really need our own forum just yet afterall we've only been going for a fortnight.

I do have 2 issues though:

1) I really think that using Mantic's Warpath logo is a bad idea. Don't need a cease and desist or people signing up incorrectly now do we.

2) Dude your sig is obnoxious, a better way to advertise the existance of the personal forum to club members would be to put the web address on all club documentation and put a link in the first post of the thread (alex will have to do that).

whats his sig say? cant see it

Yeah, but it will be a good way of attracting new people to the forum.

It wasn't so much what it said, that kinda made sense. More the enourmous size that was shouting at me.

EDIT: You might want to at least mention the club name and location too.

I can't make a logo, don't have adobe firework. (Name?) If someone would be so kind and make me one, It would be much obliged.

Probably a job for Lorna, I know nowt about graphic design unless you want a really bad logo done in MS paint.

Can you ask lorna Pls?

Anyway, I've put seek and destroy up there for now.

I know how to do logo's and graphics design but alas i dont have fireworks im a cheapskate!

I'll get around to it sometime.

Maybe friday. Depends on if i get time.

but it'll be done by monday.

Thanks man. When your done, email it to me.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh and lorna, are you going to join?

I think I have to agree with Nick about the signature.

It feels a little like a mis sell.

We don't have a huge gaming area and we don't play almost any system. In fact we are quite limited on both at moment. I'd go a little subtle, something like

"Ask we about Warpath Wargames Norwich or join our forum LINK to find out more"

Oh plus its not Essex Road, it's Wessex Street

As I've said previously it is my intent to introduce you all to Flames of War. I'll be honest this is a very selfish introduction I just want to actually play it rather than simply paint the models and read to books.

Anyway what I'm going to do is paint up a pair of 1000pt armies from a single campaign book that introduce nearly every element of the game (the only major ommision is air support/AA weapons but they can be very complex). The book in question is Hells Highway which covers the battles for Eindhoven and Nijmegen that occured during Operation Market Garden.

The briefings (FoW army lists) I have selected from the book are a British Guards Rifle Company (Irish Guards to be precise) and the German 6. Fallschirmjäger Regiment (basically German Paras). I went for these two because they allow me to create well balanced armies at a low points level (something armoured lists are bad at) and aren't too difficult to use (unlike armoured car/recce squadron lists).

Here's the actual lists for those who are interested.

Irish Guards Rifle Company: 1000pts

HQ:

Company HQ: 40pts

Combat Platoons:

Guards Rifle Platoon: 185pts
3 Squads

Guards Rifle Platoon: 185pts
3 Squads

Guards Rifle Platoon: 185pts
3 Squads

Brigade Support Platoons:

Guards Armoured Platoon: 285pts
2 Sherman V, 1 Firefly VC

Support Platoons:

Heavy Mortar Platoon: 120pts
1 Mortar Section, PIAT team

6. Fallschirmjäger Regiment: 1000pts

HQ:

Company HQ: 80pts
Panzerschrek team

Combat Platoons:

Fallschirmjäger Platoon: 250pts
3 Fallschirmjäger Squads

Fallschirmjäger Platoon: 250pts
3 Fallschirmjäger Squads

Regimental Support Platoons:

Fallschirmjäger Anti-Tank Gun Platoon: 230pts
4 7.cm PaK40

Panzer Platoon (Hermann Göring Division): 185pts
1 Panzer IV G (late), 2 Panzer III L

As you can see the lists both contain some infantry, armour and support elements. I can't really set a date for when I'll be able to start running games as I've got a lot of stuff to paint (221 infantry figures, 6 tanks, 4 Pak40s with crew and 2 mortars with crew). I'll probably make a start over the weekend though. I'll take a photo of the pile of stuff needed for those two armies at some point too, it's pretty big.

I'll put this lot in a thread on our own forum too.

Come on guys, we only have 6 Users!

I haven't signed up yet as I can't from work due to the verification box, something to do with the work set up.

I would however ask, and I don't want to sound like an arse, to remove the WARPATH Logo. As Nick pointed out it is a law suit waiting to happen and I'd rather avoid the club getting involved in one of those. So I think I will have to decline joining until it is removed and as the founder, treasurer and secretary of the club I can not condone it as our clubs forum until then.

Sorry Woodbok I know you put a lot of work into it.

Spank

Gone. Also, I will try and get something to make the logo soon.

I didn't even notice the logo thing lol

I'll be hoining soon.

and does anyone want a fantasy game on monday?
2000pts

hell to the yeah, Dark Heresy permitting of course.

Ok here is a thought, can we split Dark Heresy off and maybe have it at my place? it would mean anyone can join in (no games gettin in way). just a thought

Thing is, new members will not wont to play at your house. We have enough space for a 10' by 4' (At the mo) so its not really necessary.

its nothing to do with the club, im asking if you lot would like it

Ah I see. Well, we could sort something out.

Hmm not sure about that, afterall I am the GM and since I live in Wymondham I can't really be sure that I can get into the city all that often (Mondays and Thursdays aside) until I get a car which will be after I've got through my probation period at work (3 months).

OK guys, I ca change the website to a HTML based one, giving us 100% control of the site. I will need help if I do though, so what do you guys think?

So am I. See who can make the best one, eh?

Actually, I can't. Dumb firework. Anyway, when your finished lorna Email it to me and I'll put it on the site.

i will.

I've made a thread in our club news about it, and how it can be improved.

Woodbok that’s brilliant man, well done with trying to sound condescending you a very talented young chap. Oh and I’ll bring your Necron codex back tonight as well.

I think we should keep Dark Hersey at the club, people popping in an out will be at Nick discretion as he is the GM and putting a lot of work into it so it is only fair he calls the shots. A character holiday function might be a good Idea though as I don't want new members turning up with no one to play because we are all busy playing dark heresy.

I'll bring 1000 points of beastmen tonight, need the practice.

Right so we've how had the first DH session and to be honest from my perspective it was a failure. I'm not going to blame any one in particular but several of you repeadedly talked over me while I was giving you vital information, this made running the game extremely frustrating.

In future if you want the game to flow better please keep quiet when I'm explaining something. In addition I do have some other concerns:

1) Certain players were behaving in a way that annoyed others. If this keeps up I will not hesitate in kicking you out.

2) 10 players is simply too many for me to keep track of in addition to NPCs. So either we lose a few players or I split the group in 2 and run 2 separate games.

3)We have some underage players in the group which gives me a content problems, a lot of the content of this game is simply unsuitable for those under the age of 18. How we solve this issue is up to you lot.

From running D&D I can tell you 5 PCs is usually the upper limit for reasons you've highlighted.

pm me nick as to the content your on about

If your talking about content for me, then don't worry.

Nick

Your the GM and you are kindly running the Dark Heresey campaign. You have my full support in any actions you feel are needed to run it properly including a reduction in the number of people taking part.

If we could have a few volunteers are don't mind sitting this one out it would be appreicated.

I'd personally like to continue however I am willing to step out in order to get the numbers right.

Considering if I can get my hands on the books and how well the current game I'm in goes I may do Rogue Trader if anyone's interested?

Also, I'm going to try and make it down next Monday.....would anyone be interested in a small Warmachine game?

I would be but be aware that I basically don't know any rules, I can do 15pts at most.

Warmachine and Firestorm next week will be pretty sweet.

Yes woodbok I am thinking about you (plus James and Zak), it's not so much whether you're fine with the content but more your parents reaction to you being exposed to it. The last thing I want is for my running of DH to cause problems for the club.

My parents are fine with it - my brother's exposed me to a lot worse trust me you dont want to know. And is anyone up for a 1000 point game of fantasy prefereble storm of magic as i havent played it yet! but i can do normal.

The Quick Start Rules (along with some stat cards) can be found here;

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/the-game

As I stated earlier in the thread, I just have the Cygnar starter battlegroup at present.

I've got them from my Menoth starter box and got a proper rule book too, I know the absolute basics but not much more than that.

If you think my parents will be upset or angry, then your thinking the entirely wrong thing. They wont mind.

Fair dues, you're probably in a similar boat to me then depending on how much the rules have changed form MK.1 to MK.2.

ok gentleman. several members have raised a few issues with myself.

Firstly: Interference in games: this includes "giving tips" and "advice" please leave the respective players to there game and try not to distract them, if asked for advice feel free, however things such as "you should X" or "oh you did and now X should do X" will not be tolerated, and i will consider it a breach of the TnC's of memebership and warnings may be issued.

I understand we are a loud lot and like to give tips and advice, but not to the detriment to peoples enjoyment.

Secondly: (im guilty of this.. sorry) Bad language: I noticed (and commited) a lot of bad language last week, please keep to a minimum, as it can be seen as agressive by noobs.

DH: Respect (again sorry): if we are going to play DH, we need to respect Nicks athorita! please.. shut up when he is talking (me too!), yes we were having fun, but nick clearly wasn't.

Thank you

Any queries please feel free to PM me.

Seems that way, should be an interesting game then.

Just a reminder to all of you next week is the last Gaming week in August due to the Bank Holiday.

On behalf of myself and the comittee I'd like to thank everyone for their involvement so far and for making our first month so successful.Thanks for sticking with us while we've been finding our feet.

Anyone up for a 1000 point game of fantasy next week?

I would say yes but I've already agreed to play Mark.

I need to play more fantasy

More than likely, got the MK.2 cards through the post today since the box I brought had the older cards.....the stats change is a little interesting.

I can't comment there mate, I've not seen any mk1 stuff

On another note I got some FW bolters in the post today so I can finally make a start on some Sterguard. I'm using DA robed marines and the FW Umbra Ferrox for these boys along with some more robed marines and a mix of Grey Knight (swords) and Blood Angel (winged jump packs) parts for some Vanguard.

Oh and I'm working on some Honour Guard too using an odd mix of regular marine, blood angel and space wolf bits. The regular marine stuff is things like shoulder pads, backpacks, some torsos and some helmets. Blood Angel parts are the Sanguinary Guard swords/axes for relic blades. And finally from the Space wolves I've been using legs, some torsos and some helmets. They look pretty good so far and more importantly stand out.

I'm cool with dropping out of DH.

and i'm playing Neil next week. 40k

I'm learning to play in GW (some of you may have met me already) but I'm going along on Sunday for the ultra noobs, if someone would like to play against me that day during that slot that would be awesome, otherwise any other day if you get back to me.
I'm also intending to attend on this coming Monday to the club in the school (time permitting). However, I only have Njal Stormcaller, so if someone would be willing to bring an army along for me I'd be able to join in, otherwise, I'd also be happy to do a 2 v 2 if someone has enough points. I'm up for most things, just get in touch

I've got chaos space marines that you might be able to borrow.

Sweet, I'm happy either way really, any army will do. I just figure its faster to learn by playing than reading the rule book over and over again.

Guys we really need to get into Malifaux, I played a demo game today at the Easter Front show in St Andrews Hall. It's a very entertaining game and quite easy to pick up once you figure out the card mechanic (they've replaced dice with cards). The models look awesome too.

I also spent a lot of time browsing the trade stands, got myself another Firestorm Fleet (Directorate) simply becuase I know at some point I'll want to play a fleet other than Sorylians. Grabbed a KR aluminium case with enough foam for those two Flames of War armies I'm doing. Bought the rules (plus one expansion) for Field of Glory which is an Ancient/Medieval game not sure if you lot are interested but it looks like it'll be easy enough to pick up (uses a points system) and I've always wanted an excuse to try a historic game at some point (I'll bring the book with me tomorrow and let anyone who's interested have a read). Also got enough stuff to introduce a rather interesting looking 28mm WW2 skirmish game called Operation Squad, it's as the name suggests a squad level game (about 10-20 models per side). Plus vehicle rules will be coming out later this year covering everything from jeeps to tanks. Bought a couple of squads to get us going in the form of some Soviets and Waffen SS Grenadiers (again I'll bring the rules tomorrow).

I must be mad to try more game systems but both Field of Glory and Operation Squad look really inteteresting.

I believe i've seen Operation Squad played at Aftermath but not sure.

And i bought the Malifaux rule book yesterday from Wayland games, and probably going to buy the Neverborn Pandora boxset this week sometime. Soooo want to get into Malifaux, models are so cool. Kinda thinking GW games will be totally on the backburner forever if i get into this many other games systems (aside for the doubles tornament coming up).

I can't really see myself dropping 40k/Fantasy as I still really enjoy them, I might however stop buying so much as I do want to try as many different games as possible (hence today's spending spree)

For Malifaux I'm thinking about going for the Outkasts Viktorias set, will have to wait until I get paid at the end of the week though.

Just done the maths and I've got two 500pt Operation Squad armies which is the standard points level for the game plus a whole load of extras that will allow for different set ups. Not bad for £70 really.

Here's the lists for anyone who cares:

Russian Army (Rifle Squad):

1 Sergeant (with Binoculars)
1 Machine Gunner
7 Riflement
1 Sniper
1 Maxim section (gunner plus 2 crew)

495pts

German Army (Waffen SS):

1 Sergeant (with Binoculars)
1 Corporal
1 Waffen SS (mg42)
2 Waffen SS (Stg44)
4 Waffen SS (Kar98k, 1 is medic)

495pts

Anyone up for a game of fantasy or 40k tomorrow?

James100 wrote:Anyone up for a game of fantasy or 40k tomorrow?

Yeah, after my game of firestorm.

Don't get Pandora as a starter - she is the most complained about master in the game (her skizzle is based around forcing horrendous amounts of ranged WP tests, it really ain't fun for opponents) and pretty horribly OPd.

Should hopefully be turning up tonight, probably by 6pm.

IIRC promised Nick a Warmachine game....

3k fantasy game tonight wooo, providing i get moved fast enough

Quick question, whilst I have a rough idea where the school is.....where do I actually go?

Into the car park, and it's pretty much the first door you come to ish. Tbh there will probably be people outside smoking anyways. if not then we'll be keeping a look out, well i will.

Something's come up and I won't be able to make it this week I'm afraid.

Shame you couldn't make it. Hopefully we'll be able to get a game in some other time.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks time I'll have that operation squad stuff built and undercoated (probably not painted though but I'll try to do a couple of test schemes), thankfully a lot of the models are single part and just need to be based but others like the Russian Maxim gun and the German MG42 are rather more complex. No idea if I'll understand the rules by then though.

Update
I've now updated page 1 with the September Meetings.

Next week
Just a reminder we will not be meeting next week due to the bank holiday, this won't be a problem going forward but as this the first month systems are not in place yet. Please pass this on to anyone people who may not be on Dakka

October
Also can anyone wishing to be a member for October please pay the first meeting of the nest gaming month being 5th September 2011.

I know a lot of you are paid up for September and might be wondering why you have to/should pay for October when we've not even got through September yet and why you can't just pay nearer the time. It all comes down to room rental, I need to know a month in advance if we are going to have enough money in the kitty in order to cover our outgoings. Otherwise we might get to the end of the month and realise we have come up short which would mean that we would either have to take money out of the scenary budget or I'd have to make the shortfall personally (something i'd rather avoid). I also do not wish to be scrabbling around a day before the rent is due trying to collect membership off people.

Is that £10 or £20?

Just £10

I'll try to remember that.

Yo spank do you want a 1000 point game of fantasy on the 5th - i'm getting a daemons battleforce on the 3rd and i want to try it out!

something you lot may like, also spanky trust me for your guard you will love it.

http://www.infinitythegame.com/infinity/en/

Oh god I can't afford to get into Infinity as well, it's bad enough that I've just picked up a Malifaux crew.

@Formosa - I've got an (unpainted) Ariadna force for infinity if you're interested in the game. Haven't played it yet, just bought the models I liked the look of and roughly made a list out of that. Think it's about 300 points in total? I seem to vaguely remember building an army list before making the purchases to make it game-ready.

Would be happy to give it a go at some point, but am still currently not able to attend anything due to work taking me out of Norwich for the next 4-6 weeks or so. On the plus side, it'll give me time to get the models painted up.

that would be perfect, as im going to be broke till the 25th, moving is expensive, so i will be buying a few models at the end of the month

I must admit I do like the look of Infinity but it'll have to wait until sometime after I've bought a car (some time around late November/early December) hence why I can't afford it.

Really should have jumped on one of those starter deals being offered a few months back.

Still 40k, Fantasy, Firestorm Amada, Flames of War, Malifaux, Operation Squad and Warmahordes are enough to keep me going for some time.

damn nick, got enough

You can never have enough game systems/armies.

It's gets worse when I think about how much I have for each system:

40k: Black Templars, Chaos Marines, Eldar, Grey Knights/Inquisition (pre wardification), Imperial Guard and Space Marines
Fantasy: Dark Elves, Empire, Lizards, Ogres, Skaven and Tomb Kings
Firestorm: Directorate, Sorylians
FoW: Mid War Aussies, Late War Brits, Late War Germans
Malifaux: Outcasts (Viktorias)
Operation Squad: Red Army, Waffen SS
Warmahordes: Protectorate of Menoth

Ok most of the 40k/Fantasy stuff isn't really an army but a few units ditto for the Aussies. The rest however are all usable on the table.

TBH though if I weren't trying to introduce FoW and Operation Squad to the club I wouldn't have so much stuff for them.

Infinity does look cool, there are a lot more minis than I was expecting, what's it play like?

Already seen a couple of sides i'd be interested in, however I just don't have that much disposable income at the moment and I want to get my Beastmen to at least to 2500, plus i'm looking to possibly expand on my dust tactics collection (however I haven't picked a side yet so not sure whta to get) also GoW 3 and Space Marine are out this month.

By the way all, i'll be bringing Dust Tactics next week if anyone wants a game (not necessarily against me)

@James100 i'll give you game if you like but i'm still learning.


@Nick I was really tempted by FoW, was in hobby craft, nearly bought the book. Then the Mrs reminded me that we need a load of stuff for the house. So eneded up buying some tea towels and oven gloves. Nearly as fun i'm sure

@spank i haven't played fantasy in about 8 months so i'm kinda rusty!

Well it'll be interesting then i'll bring the rule book

That and i've never played daemons before

That's ok, i've only played beastmen twice.

Do Daemons work the same way they do in 40k?

SpankHammer III wrote:That's ok, i've only played beastmen twice.

Do Daemons work the same way they do in 40k?

No, lots of rules of different, IIRC.

Ok will be interesting to see how it works. I will prepare myself for a good kicking

Deamons are the pre-eminent fantasy army, they work more like space marines (forgiving) the trick is to take away any rank bonus they may have, deamons crumble similer to undead.

Bloodletters have KB as well, but vs beastmen this is kind of pointless, very little armour anyway, your best bet is to pin them with minotours and hit them in the flank with some rank and file troops.

there characters are very nasty, kairos being maybe the best, to be fair i would try to not use any uber characters in such a small game

Gorilla do you want a Malifaux game on Monday? I might have just about got my head round the rules by then. My crew is already built ,I'm thinking we should go for a 30 Soul Stone game as that would give us a decent pool for use in game after we've bought our crews.

Also if anyone is interested I hope I'll be able to demo Operation Squad (albiet while figuring out the rules as I go), no promises as I've still got to build the Waffen SS army but I should be able to get them done during the week.

I'd like to, but aren't we doing Dark heresy next week?

Probably not as I need to have a chat with all of you about it. There are still some problems which need to be resolved before we can continue.

Yes we can have a malifaux game Nick. 30 SS is a good start. I believe gooda is bringing his malifaux down too so we may be able to get a few games in.
My base inserts are 'awaiting stock' so i'm going to cancel the order i think and just do the normal sand look. Dissapointed really, think they would have looked good on Victorian streets scenery.

Thanks for that

And i'm not using any special characters as quite frankly i dont have any. i'm using liturally the contents of the battalion and a character. Also remember where only doing 1000 points so no greater daemon or anything big really.

cool, deamons are a very nasty army to face, when you have 2500 give me a shout id like to play deamons

Formosa wrote:cool, deamons are a very nasty army to face, when you have 2500 give me a shout id like to play deamons

I will when i have 2500 points. I'm aiming for christmas time!

Is anyone around tomorrow for a game, I've inadvertently got the day off. I would really like to get some more fantasy practise because I fell like I might finally be getting into it.

SpankHammer III wrote:Is anyone around tomorrow for a game, I've inadvertently got the day off. I would really like to get some more fantasy practise because I fell like I might finally be getting into it.

I can play 40K, but if you prefer to play someone with fantasy that's fine. I will work on getting my post count higher.

Thanks for the offer but I'd prefer to get a fantasy game in.

SpankHammer III wrote:Is anyone around tomorrow for a game, I've inadvertently got the day off. I would really like to get some more fantasy practise because I fell like I might finally be getting into it.

I can play fantasy with you tomorrow but i'l have to use my skaven and thats my competative army. So yeah when and where? - im guessing gw but what time?

I don't mind playing competitive, a good hiding can be educational. I don't mind what time, might depend on gw

Well i can get there at 1 and can be there until 6 and they have lotr listed on this sheet that jason gave me so we might be able to get a game.

I'll aim to get there for one then.

James thanks for the game, it wasn't fair though. You should probably won that, there was a little too much help coming my way.

SpankHammer III wrote:James thanks for the game, it wasn't fair though. You should probably won that, there was a little too much help coming my way.

Dont worry I intend to beat you with me daemons!

I hate it when people do that to my opponents, giving them tips and telling them what to do. Why they can't let them get on with their own game.

woodbok wrote:I hate it when people do that to my opponents, giving them tips and telling them what to do. Why they can't let them get on with their own game.

It wasn't that as such. I planned to sit back with ma hordes and just shoot warp lighting at him forcing him to come to me. Turns out first spell i miscast can cause 1 wound to my bsb and warlord and killing off my warlock engineer. that and i forgot my ruby ring which would have chucked out another fireball each turn.

Ah, it was bad luck. My bad, I misinterpreted. Although I do hate it when people do that to me. My point still stands.

anyone for a game of fantasy tomorrow? 2500? or 2500 or 40k? storm of magic?

Formosa wrote:anyone for a game of fantasy tomorrow? 2500? or 2500 or 40k? storm of magic?

I would happily play 40k with you but i have a dentist appointment at 1.30 so i cant :( that but i might be able to have one about 3ish?

Edit:
Yeah it's at 1.30 so i can play about 3ish it really depends on the bus times because my dentist is on the same route i go into the city and it wont cost me any extra money for the bus fares so yeah i can do it. What points value though and i'm guessing gw

2000 or 1750, GW yep

I would but I don't have a 1750pt 40k army I want to use atm. Yes that is because I'm still refusing to play with an unpainted army, once my White Minotuars are finished then things shall be rather different.

Formosa wrote:2000 or 1750, GW yep

1750 if thats possible.

Ah, it was bad luck. My bad, I misinterpreted. Although I do hate it when people do that to me. My point still stands.

In part it was bad luck, but there was a lot of back seat driving as well. It wasn't done maliciously it was an attempt to help me learn the game better, however it just ended up confusing matters on more than one occassion.

Does anyone want a game of 40k tomorrow?

Just a quick note to confirm that I will be attempting to run a game of Operation Squad tomorrow.

PS: the vehicle suppliment should be available later this month.

Woops, im a bit early. Some teachers are giving me the evils.

As we discussed last night Dark Heresy will be resuming in two weeks time. Hopefully this time it'll go a bit smoother. I'm not sure how much further we'll get as I've not actually read the campaign for a while.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to run Operation Squad this and and I doubt I will in the next couple of weeks either (learning Malifaux and running DH, are time consuming). Oh well gives me more time to try to paint the squads up.

Just a quick note to say that I'll probably only be bringing Malifaux with me next week (you'd better remember your crew gorillawizard) and maybe Firestorm as rather than getting a lift from Martin (who won't be attending next week) I'll be coming straight from work and I can't really store much there during the day.

We seem to be neglecting this thread again.

I not sure if we're neglecting it.

I was going to bring my guard with me tonight, however I 'm not sure that it will be doable with all the other stuff I have to bring, so unless some one wants another 1000 point fantasy game I will be bringing Dust Tactics only.

Also can all members who took the clubs scenary to paint bring it in (including all left over bits) as there was a shortage last week and as only the maufactorum turned up which I brought.

I have all the bits from the manufactorium that I painted. Also, I might be bringing someone else tonight.

@James I would play you but I'm not sure if I've got another in me seriously thanks for the offer, we'll see if there is time.

@woodbok

More the merrier

i will be there in 15 mins,

Anyone know if i left my tapemeasure down the club last week as i seam to have lost it, unless it's in my car hmmmm. it's got Mark S on it if anyone has it.

No idea, I'll check my bags etc to see if I grabbed it by mistake.

BTW chaps just a quick reminder that it's Dark Heresy on Monday. Anyone who's got any D10s please bring them.

Oh and one more thing I've just started Infinity, although I can blame Formosa for that.

Is there any room in your brain for that many rules sets?? i think 4 types of rules sets is enough for me tbh

Apparently there is.

Ok guys everything is ready for Dark Heresy, I'm not going to let you lot force me to move onto another section this time as what I'm running tonight is complex enough already.

In addition to DH I'll have Firestorm and Malifaux with me if anyone is interested. Oh and some on my Infinity models for those who want to take a look at them (I'm looking at you Formosa).

Maybe a little malifaux game if DH gets done quicker than expected

Well I would like to try out some of my new stuff (although I've not got the Ronin yet which is really annoying).

hey guys, next monday 26th oct me and Lorna wat to have some practice fantasy doubles games. So if some people could bring down a 1000 pt list to team up with another 1000 point list so we can play test, it would be very much appreciated

I can muster 8 Saurus Warriors and that's about it so I won't be abel to help (no idea where my Dark Elves or Empire have hidden themselves).

I'll probably have Firestorm and Operation Squad with me I'll try to demo OS but no promises as I still really don't know the rules.

righto as everyone prob knows, spanky isnt here on monday, i have managed to get a little time away from work type things, so i will be.
Also, i want a game o 40k, who is up for fighting the DArk anGals Spesh mureens!!!

I don't mind. I'll use necrons.

Shame that I didn't get a game this week. Next week, I do want a game though.

Hmm no game this week, oh well at least it's Dark Heresy next week.

hey guys, i can't get down on monday i'm affraid cos its my daughters bday, so Spanky can you give us a call or text or message etc etc so i can drop the scenery to you m8.

I guess I'll have to write your charcater in as an NPC then.

On a lighter note i went and bought myself the Sonnia criid crew

oh and has anyone heard rumours that empire are next on the agender of GW releases?? apparently a Warrior priest kit, Demigriff cavalry, and a War Alter/Nuln Great Cannon kit.

Nice choice, I must admit I'm eyeing up a couple more crews for myself too.

How do All

I will be there this week, just a reminder November membership will now be on sale.

Also the mad twisted genius that is Games Master Nick Ellingworth is running Dark Heresy again so all people who are taking part remember your D100 and bribery cookies.

October is hopefully going to be awesome, it's a 5 Monday month and we now have a fair chunk in the scenery budget so hopefully we will be able to plough that back into the club this month.

It takes more than cookies to bribe me, donuts are a minimum.

BTW I now have the Inquisitor's Handbook and will introduce it for the next campaign. Oh and I have some other things I want to force on you too for that campaign and trust me you will need it.

Would anyone be up for doing some mordheim at some point. I've started reading some rules and it's just like fantasy only basically 10 - 20 models so its a small game and cheap to collect. There are different races like fantasy i.e Skaven, Beastmen, Sisters of sigmar, Dwarfs, Vampire counts. It looks quite fun guess i'l have top print off the rulebook at some point and bring some models to proxy for a game in.

yeah I don't mind giving it a look.

On a more serious note: Members with club scenery, I want all of it to be brought in next week regardless of its condition. This includes all spruces and left over parts, if it is not disciplinary action will be taken. I expect the full support of committee and club members on this

Very much up for it, it's my favourite GW game. I have the rulebook, and some warbands. If you're looking to pick up some models for it, it's worth keeping in mind that the Empire Militia and Skaven Night Runner boxes were originally released for Mordheim, so they have all the equipment options you'll want. One box of either one of those will give you basically every model you'll ever need for your warband, unless you go for exotic extras, like hired swords and things.

I've been meaning to make some proper terrain for it for a while, converting the nice new GW terrain into ruins.. I did have the card buildings from the boxset, but they were a kinda flimsy and ended up taking a bit of a battering. Plastic is definitely the way to go to get stuff that is immune to damage.

I've started reading some rules and it's just like fantasy only basically 10 - 20 models so its a small game and cheap to collect. There are different races like fantasy i.e Skaven, Beastmen, Sisters of sigmar, Dwarfs, Vampire counts. It looks quite fun guess i'l have top print off the rulebook at some point and bring some models to proxy for a game in.

Very much up for it, it's my favourite GW game. I have the rulebook, and some warbands. If you're looking to pick up some models for it, it's worth keeping in mind that the Empire Militia and Skaven Night Runner boxes were originally released for Mordheim, so they have all the equipment options you'll want. One box of either one of those will give you basically every model you'll ever need for your warband, unless you go for exotic extras, like hired swords and things.

I've been meaning to make some proper terrain for it for a while, converting the nice new GW terrain into ruins.. I did have the card buildings from the boxset, but they were a kinda flimsy and ended up taking a bit of a battering. Plastic is definitely the way to go to get stuff that is immune to damage.

Still out of Norwich at the moment, will be back in a month!

ok cool. i have skaven naturally as one of my many fantasy armies and i can easily create an eshin army im sure. i'm guessing there's some sort of points system if so just tell me what points etc and i can look through the rulebook and come up with a cool eshin army!

On a more serious note: Members with club scenery, I want all of it to be brought in next week regardless of its condition. This includes all spruces and left over parts, if it is not disciplinary action will be taken. I expect the full support of committee and club members on this

Full support from me spankHammer, regardless of the condition please bring it in plus spues!!!!!!

Yep we really do need the scenery. As I said yesterday I'd be happy to make some for the club if I can find the time as I've got all the materials needed simply lying around at home.

Good News All

I have just purchased a bumper crop of scenery for the club. I have paid for it using my paypal account, it is from Wayland Games, unfortunately I can't afford to donate this so I will be reimbursing myself using the club funds.

Due to several requests a good portion of it will be fantasy, however I have tried to keep a good deal of it generic e.g trees, walls, hills

However for you 40k fans I have purchased a bastion and some additional craters.


I realise that some of you might have wanted more specialised terrain for other systems or from other manufacturers, such as terraclips, but through a combination supply issues and due to the majority of the club playing GW games I felt this was the best option.

Oooh what are we getting?

I don't really want to ruin the surprise

Nice

I think you mean this......



BTW I've just ordered a second Malifaux crew like I said I would (bascially so I can lend a crew to anyone who wants to give the game a go) and the Infinity rule book, now I've just got to track down the Human Sphere expansion book so I actually have the rules for the faction I've gone for.

EDIT: Gah out of print. Meant to have been reprinted last month.

Sweet! - Some good scenery at last!

Sweet! - Some good scenery at last!

I'll try not to take that too personally

Also what is happening game wise next week? - Weren't me, you, Formosa and micheal going to have a big olde game of 40k

It was suggested, have to see what turn out is like, availability of table space and such (also if I can get my IG sorted and in)

Hey guys.

I'll bring the scenery i have in next monday. couldn't bring it in before, had to go to hospital.

Nick, would you like a game of hordes on monday m8? try out your skorn and then if we got time Malifaux

Well I've already got a game of Malifaux booked (with the guy you were mean to play last week) but yeah Hordes or Malifaux would be cool too.

Can you do 11pts? As that's all I've got for my Skorne.

Probably not 11pts, but malifaux would be cool or maybe if Lorna wants to then we can get some practice in for doubles??

At the end of the month i should be getting the circle orboros starter pack mainly because the reeves look cool and i want a small skirmish game ie small models.

http://privateerpress.com/files/products/circle-orboros/units/reeves-of-orboros-unit.png

also are there any shops in norwich which sell hordes?

The games Room down Elm hill sells warmachine and hordes and Starwyn will do in the future i believe.

im up for a 40k mega game, what will the sides be as i would like to do a good vs evil, so its either ork and x vs or ravenwing/deathwing and x vs.

also, lets do a mission from the battle missions book

My guard will be coming, the mech guard that is. Foot guard take too long for a larger game.

I've got the Battle mission book i'll put it in my bag.

I'm up for it. Necrons, if mission allows.

Well i'm bringing my iron hands which are good

Gorillawizard wrote:Probably not 11pts, but malifaux would be cool or maybe if Lorna wants to then we can get some practice in for doubles??

Well I'm not certain if I'll even be able to use what I've got at the moment anyway, the Cyclops Savages do not want to go together. Oh well at least I wasn't planning on actually using them beyond learning the game.

BTW I've got my Colette crew now. Can't do anything larger than 25ss yet though.

who cares what side the BM book is suposed to have, exchange x army for x army, it will be a bit of a change, ust because we have marines and guard dont mean we have to play a marine or guard mission, we could do an ork one, imagine guard recycling its troop choices and we have to kill as many as possible....

Well I've in the past played BT vs BA using an Ork mission and it was a lot of fun, so if you lot roll something really odd you could have a really good game.

BTW I really really dislike Skorne Cyclops Savages, they really are a pain to put together. Although it must be said not as headache inducing as some of the Infinity models I've got I think I'll have nightmares about the Dakini Tacbots for some time.

Hey guys, i probably won't be along this week due to me starting medication for my ulcer.

I might stil turn up, but it's probably unlikely as i'll be wiped out.

if i come this week, i won't the week after.

HAHAHAHA to all who said my destroyer lord with scarabs isn't fearless. Rulebook says I am.

Get well sooon mate.

hopefully so.

Well that was an enjoyable evening.

It's Dark Heresy next week, we could get to the end of the campaign but that all depends on you lot.

Just a warning this campaign could be the death of everyone's characters if you mess up the ending. However if by some miracle you manage to survive I might have a few extra rewards for you.

No matter what the outcome for the second campaign I will be introducing the Inquisitor's Handbook and Daemon Hunter book. I might also add some others depending on what you lot want from the game.

Well I thought DH went well. I suspect for the next session we'll merely get to the end of this campaign and possibly (depending on time) get all the preparations for the second campaign out of the way.

I believe I'll be playing Firestorm next week with Martin but I'll bring along my Malifaux stuff as well. I'll also make sure to bring Munchkin.

I enjoyed it my character not passing out was good, also quite enjoy lasing the guys arm off until he vomitted an died of shock.

I've got a 2000point 40k game against Tony, i've only really written two 2000 point lists. One was for the Golgotha Campaign which was basically my 1750 with an extra 26 man platoon in it, which is about as mech as I can get really (without squadrons in Heavy support). The other is pretty much based on what I can get in my KR multicase (or overspill case), probably not the best tactic to base a list on.

Against my better judgement I think i'm going to use the KR case becasue there is a lot of stuff I don't use that often including several conversions I'm kind of proud of. Plus if i get pwned I have an excuse "well it was the list I brought"

Yes it was pleasing to see your character doing well for once.

I would like to gauge some interest, would anyone be up for play a 4/5 person warhammer fantasy roleplay once fantasy doubles is over. so sometime around about december?

I would possibly be interested, if you need the numbers.

Don't really want to do if Dark Heresey is still running, plus I really need to buckle down with my guard and beastmen.

However by the time DH finishes I might have caught the rpg bug, call me a maybe

Swish, i would only do it when DH isn't running. It's fun though, and makes you wanna do fantasy.

What races can you be?

Man, High Elf, Wood Elf or Dwarf.
but there are many careers.

If I play I ain't being no elf

You can be human. you can even have a gun, maybe.

depends on how i feel.

With you as GM i'd end up as a one legged hobbit with a bucket

Probably not, you will face some beastmen. But it'll be fun.

Like I said if you need the numbers count me in

I'll happily play some fantasy roleplay lorna - Can you be a Skaven by any chance? or a vampire?

I would be interested in actually playing in an RPG rather than just GMing at some point.

Maybe what we ought to do is keep the RPG session once every 2 weeks thing but alternate between DH and Fantasy Roleplay. Although obviously that would result in a very long time between sessions for each system which could be a problem.

Not really. If you do one every 2 weeks it would mean that they give the GM's more chance to prepare. Fantasy would be written by me. And James, you can only be man, dwarf, wood elf and high elf.

True, although in my case that's simply more time to read the various adventure books I plan to use (if the players like the next adventure I intend to take them through the whole trilogy).

Fair enough. I'm up for the alternating weeks. I'll just have to get the rulebook from Foo. But i pretty much know it.
We can make characters next week if anyone wants to.

Can you be a human and then be turned into a vampire by choosing a specific role? - also can you be a dwarf slayer or is that kinda the same thing?

You can be a dwarf slayer. And no you cannot be a vampire. You can become corrupt.

What about a Mage?

Yup. But It's a lot more compleicated. Well, not much actually.

350 miles later and a 5 and a half hour trip in the dark home, Yey back from Devon. )))
So who wants a game of WarmaHordes or Fantasy or Malifaux on monday?????

Well I'll be playing Firestorm with Martin but after that I'm definitely up for Malifaux.

Is martin on Dakka? Because I would like a game of firestorm. I haven't played for ages.

No he isn't. Plus I've just heard he might not be around on Monday so I might have to get the bus in.

...

Excellent. Look forward to seeing you.

Hey Wesker

Nick did tell me you might be in contact, look forward to seeing you.

Looked good guys! Anyone want a game of 40K next week?

Anyone want a game of Warmahordes or Fantasy Next week, or even a doubles fantasy if Lorna wants another practise game.

PS. My Warlock is on Nordrassil now, whats the guild again Wesker?

Hello guys. I came down for the first time tonight. Everyone I spoke to was very freindly and I shall be comming again.
I'll bring my 40k orks next week if someone wants a game.

Just a reminder for my poor suffering players it's Dark Heresy next week. Hopefully the end of the first campaign.

Woops, forgot the time. I was bowling yesterday. I will want a game of 40k next week, anyone up for it?

The guild is called Aurora, and I would like a game of 40K next week
