Mondays 5.30- 9.30pm at Bignold School, Norwich. Except Bank Holidays, these are normally rearranged to the following Tuesday but I will update this post whenever one is coming up.

Which Systems do we play in?
The Majority of our members play either Warhammer Fantasy Battles or 40,000. However there are a number of other systems played including, Hordes, WarMachine, Dreadball, Bolt Action, Malifaux and Infinity. Additionally we frequently play board games, collectable card games and occasionally RPGs

Redacted

Already done.

Second/Third?

Have some money in my pocket, so I'll pop down to pay of outstanding debts and perhaps a game of Warmachine.

New thread, interesting

Redacted

Probably a good idea but not something I'd ever have anything to do with as I detest social networking sites. If Moe or Tony want to start one up though I won't object.

It is something I was planning on doing anyway, may as well doit now as everyone is up for it

Stormwell im always up for warmachine but think we are starting are dreadball league if the snow doesnt put people off

I'll try to get in, should be ok as the main roads are mostly clear but who knows what the traffic will be like later today.

Forecast is for more snow around 5pm, but as it stands there are many patches up to a foot deep around.

I will be there. Been doing driving lessons all day and the roads are lovely

WOOO.....? Yeah, second thread time. PAAAAAARTY!

Dreadball league rules are great, im happy with1 win and 1loss and managed to level up a player roll on next week!

Two losses for me not so great but I didn't have any deaths and I did have a striker level up and gain a point in skill. That's right I now have a rat who can throw half decently.

Word all,

Will be attending, hopefully, this coming Monday. Formosa, shredder either of you want a game?

Just got back from the Copper Bowl Dreadball tournament at Table Top Nation. Somehow I managed to finish 3rd. In less surprising news Leon won overall.

Had 4 really good games over the day, won all 4. The first being a really edgy 1-0 win the last turn. In the second I won 3-0 in overtime. Third game again went to overtime with a 1-0 win and finally I won the last game with a 7-0 landslide in a mere 3 rushes (ie on my second turn).

Not a bad day overall and to top it off my prize for 3rd place was a £15 Mantic voucher.

BTW Duane no Dreadball league this week as Leon said he probably won't be able to turn up.

Sorry spanky already got a game on Monday

Weel done nick and your ratties, did you fancy a game off something different then!!

Hey Wesker, I've come up with a list for our game tonight, but it's ONE point over!
I know you haven't forgiven me for my list that was over the limit, but would you play a list that was one point over? Lol.

Hello again Norwich types...

It is I, the irritating Animosity dude!

thought I'd bring you news of our next event, in March.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/840/440020.page#5254753

Its a pre-heresy era campaign weekend based upon the Ullanor Crusade, so ORKS are extremely welcome.

If you want to know anything else follow the link or pm me for info.

Ta da.

Dreadball tournament in Norwich booked for sunday 24th march. Let me know if your coming, will post a link with more details later in the week.

Hey guys, i've been looking into dreadball and would love to have a game with some one at some point. It does seem interesting.

Well I'll definitely have it with me next week. Any particular team take your fancy?

If you enjoy it I have a spare orx team you could have cheap.

I was looking at the smackers, simply because, I BREAK PUNY HUMAN FACE WITH FEET!

Redacted

They started without you last week Wesker.

Lorna I don't think Leon or I will struggle to find you a Marauders team to play with.

Going to be popping down Monday with Warmachine in tow.

Erm I may have just thrown some money at the Warzone kickstarter. Woo another game to play.

Meh, i've gone in for the Wild West Exodus kickstarter

Yay gorilla is back

Will be running a Kings of War particaption game after the event if anyone wants to stay later which will be free to join in.

I'm probably up for it depending on cost.

8 Quid for 4 games and a particaption game with the oppurtunity to win things (possibly season 2 models)

Probably up for it then.

I used to play warzone years ago im up for a pledge on it how much did you go for nick i love the cybertronic guys!!

I've gone in at the Razide level which is 2 starter sets and a rulebook. Currently considering getting the Brotherhood and Bauhaus sets this may change if they hit the stretch goals for more factions to be available at launch.

You big spender!! I might go necromutant level and get the cybertronic starter, im excited about this game I loved the original setting, better get pledging

I reckon it's worth getting 2 sets so I can demo the game to others.

Is round one of the campaign done?

Just wanted to know as if it is I may give club a miss this week.

Nick how are you getting on with your warpath stuff still might get some veer-myn as just like them, how many points you got?

Still only got a few things built (10 Steel Warriors, 5 Stromrage Veterans). Once everything that I've currently got is built I'll have 1130pts. Once I get paid (Friday ) I'll be able to spend that £15 voucher I won at the Copperbowl and £15 of my own money to get the army to 1500pts.

Ok cool well I might get the £50 veer-myn box that apparently gives bout 1000pts, does langleys sell this stuff or not.

Langleys sell some of the Warpath range but I can't remember how much of it.

I might pop down 2morrow and take a lookie before club, hopfully they have some veer-myn I can buy.

Mantic are doing a new game on kickstarter around April time. Its going to be based on the Warpath universe but will be skirmish level so only a small ulite unit of troops. Its also going to be played on a grid so no tape measure. There going to be doing modular terrain with it as well. Its sounding awesome. Cant tell you anything else!

There also got another game in development which we will see even sooner

Mantic seem to be pretty busy then. The modular terrain sounds very promising.

Very Very busy. Season 2 teams soon plus there got KoW kickstarter stuff to be released!

Quiet night on Monday. Hopefully we'll be a bit busier next week.

It was a little quiter, I will hopefully make it again next week. Will maybe bring a friend if he aint working!

Gamessoc 24 Hour this weekend and I'm planning on running a few demos of Warmachine, if any of you guys can make it down that'll be awesome.

Yo yo gents, I want to practice my tourny list this Monday, whoever is up for a game bring your filthiest lists, I'm talking necron flying circus.kind of ass hattery.

Cheers my fellow dakkaites

What army you running, dangels?

Ok I have written 5 tourney lists for 1850, deamons, orks, nids ravenwing, deathwing, and greenwing, well thats 6 but you get the gyst.

I can send my lists if you want spanky?

I'm planning on coming again this Monday (the guy who sat playing Dreadball all night a couple of weeks ago ), anyone want to win a few games of magic?

You normally don't have to arrange Magic games, there's usually a few players kicking around every Monday.

Thems new Chaos Daemons are tempting me to do 40k again... must resist!

Let Chaos tempt you! Fall to the ruinous powers!

Very tempted as i am, i then see the prices and /facepalm.
Seriously how do they justify £15 for the new Nurgle herald which is plastic when you get 10 plague bearers for £18 also plastic ??? wha....

Yep there's a good reason why any armies I make in the future for GW systems will only use 3rd party models. I still like their fluff and their rules systems are still half decent but the models simply aren't good enough to justify the prices anymore. I'd much rather use models of a lesser quality which are much cheaper. Which would explain my WIP Mantic High Elves and old school Warzone based IG which are both generally considered to be less good looking than most GW model but tbh I actually like them. Although that might be mainly due to the lack of skulls. The IG army also gives me an awesome excuse for cool tank conversions which is always a plus. Like this:



Yeah I know you've all seen it before but it's actually got paint on it now.

hey all, I'll be along with my fantasy stuff this week, as haven't used it since before christmas.

Gw who are they?

PP who are they?

Noooooo! Dont give in to the evil, pp forever oh and wyrd!

I'll probably be down tonight, with malifaux in tow.

ill be down to try at Jacob lynch even though you played him last week or I might just use von schill, soon ill have seamus and somer teeth to use woop woop!!

I've got Somer on the way aswell, should have him by next week.

Redacted

No worries wesker, give us a shout when you return.

Ok ladies and gents, wesker started off the campaign bug, if he isn't back for a while then I'm happy to take over with a campaign.

I have the planetary empires tiles, all I ask is that anyone who wants to play, make your own flags .

The campaign will be for up to 6 players, if any of you are interested please give me a pm

Anybody going in For Loka? Looks like its going to be a great game for Chess players and Wargammers!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1744629938/loka-the-world-of-fantasy-chess

Nope, waiting for Arena Rex. 15th march it goes on kickstarter

Yeah I know you are lol

I'm not going in for it, not really a fan of chess and Warzone is rapidly consuming my hobby budget for the next few months.

Hey guys, gotten hold of the rules for FASA's old Crimson Skies game and wondering whether anyone wanted to give it a spin?

Some planes tokens can be found here; http://www.toposolitario.com/workshop/crimsonskies.html

Plus various stuff like reference sheets can be found here; http://boardgamegeek.com/files/thing/3855

Message me if you want a copy of the rulebook to look over during the weekend.

Otherwise, any takers for Warmachine?

Redacted

Give you £20 for it lol

Don't think ill be able to play you on monday Formosa as i haven't recieved any of my daemon stuff i ordered yet. will be down with Malifaux though.

No worries man, I may be working late Monday anyway lol

Guess I'll have to remember to bring Malifaux with me then.

But then again, i may not be able to get down monday either as i've sold my bike.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
just remembered that the bloodbowl team manager expansion is on its way to me so i may have that by monday too, if i'm down that is.

Well if the weather Monday evening is as bad as it is tonight I might not be turning up anyway.

Anyone interested in this??
I will be driving

http://tabletopnation.simpletix.com/Event/15/Kings-of-War-Pathfinder-Region/

I wont be down tonight as cant get there, but that does give me time to build up the pile of plastic crack that just got dumped through my post box

Ok gents we now have most.of.your characters built, now all I need is a little backstory to your guys, can you pm them to me, try to put a little thought into these characters as it can and will affect the game.


I will be posting up some info on the game tonight

Oh boy I finally get to type up Ravion's history, could take a while.

Remember this is not ravion, its the year m32, he ain't born yet, nothing too long I just need some info to use as a base for characters motivation etc.

But I shall read it!

It could be Ravion, the warp is known to quite frequently throw people backwards in time after all.

Welcome to golgotha.

Year: 273:227:m32
Segementum pacificus.
Calisthe system
Planet: golgotha
Pop: Human: 4.2 billion, mutant: 2.8 billion/aprox
Other: 370 million
Government: alternating autocracy, ecclesiarchy representative,
Religion: prime: faith of the eternal flame. Secondary: order of his holy emperors will.

Notable features: described as an "old terra" type planet, golgotha still has plentiful oceans, rich agriculture, boating 14 distinct continents golgothas climate is as varied as its people.

Diplomatic envoy: the imperium has had a diplomatic presence on golgotha since the end of m31, given the planets high resources and technical expertise, the imperium has been reluctant to bring golgotha into the imperial fold through military means, citing it as a waste of all too valuable resources,

Note: the newly founded ecclesiarchy has sent representatives to golgotha in the hopes of converting the local population to the imperial cult. This has met with little to no success amongst the human population, however, the mutant population has taken to the imperial creed with vigour. A side effect of this has led to the humans regarding the imperial creed as a "skabs" dogma


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Notable locations:
Bato city: capital of the eternal flame (major faction)
Bato city is the prime city* on golgotha, it boasts the second largest human population on the planet, and the largest mutant population. The streets teem with life and is considered a "modern" world by imperial standards, it is rich in pre imperial architecture and has a thriving economy. It's main economic drive are its excellent pool of artisans (electronic), they produce many fine pieces of technology, mainly void shields, and personal fields, this has led to the mechanicus expressing and interest in the planet, a request thus far that has been refused.

It is due to its highly advanced defences that bato city is currently in ascendancy, as a result of.this the planet is undergoing an "arms" race, with bato cities main rivals continually trying to find ways to defeat its highly advanced defences.

The confederation of purtat being batos main rival, it's expertise with ballistic tech has led to an almost abandonment of las technology, the confederation has developed "breaker" tech to overcome many types of field tech.

Whilst golgothan "las" tech does exist, it is both extremely basic and currently dangerous to use, being dubbed "radders" by those unlucky enough to test them.

Hope I'm setting the scene here

Redacted

Seems interesting, still need to write my character fluff at some point and find a suitable model.

WTF is all this about?

We're starting a mini inquisitor campai.gn gorrila, mainly it's to see if people like it, and if so, we can.do a proper one

Ok so a few pointers for all who are playing.

Play smart: for new people inquisitor can be quite daunting, its a complicated set of rules, you cannot and will not be able to pick it up in a few games like 40k. It's.my job as gm to know.the rules.and help smooth the game along.

Cover, sneak, think: this game is brutal, if you dont make use of cover, skills and use your brain, you will.die, no one wants there beloved character to get cut in half or shot through the face, so use your smarts, if you dont.think you can win dont.be afraid to run away, come up with interesting ideas to aid this, this game is about narrative more than rules, if.you come up with something cool and its not in the rules, dont worry, it's my job to allow you the freedom to do crazy stuff.

Character!: you are your character, "but" I hear you.say "I know lots about 40k", yes thats true, but your character doesn't, try not to make decisions based on what your characters dont know, you as a player know what a khorne bezerker is, but does your character? You can clearly see thet gang of muties coming at you on the tabletop, but your character cannot see them, this brings me to my next point.

Communicate: talk to each other, when your minis are close this is simple, but what about if they are across the board? Shout! Or invest in communication equipment, everything in this game has a use.

Not in the face!!: another thing to consider is injury, it will happen, taking a gunshot to the leg can be.very traumatizing and as such this can negatively affect your character, guns shops are important to find... But so are doctors..but what if your trying to lay low? Go find a vet...use your brains gents

Background: this one is mainly for me, I need to know that your acting in character, for.example.we.can't have a dark eldar character being bff with a.deamonette, or a isstavanian aiding a thorian, remember you all have motivations for being part of the inquisition.

Ask questions: seriously, if you need to know something just ask, but.not just me, if you find a lasgun all damaged and what not...ask a guard character "yo bra.. Can you fix dis shiz niz" (eldar speak funny) and we can take a look see, I will handle npcs but it's up to you lot to aid each other...or not...dum dum duuuuuum

So whats everyone playing on Monday night then, i got 40k, Warmahordes and Bloodbowl team manager now with Sudden Death expansion that i'll be bringing.
Anyone fancy a game?

Really hope this gets its target

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1471855235/torn-armor?ref=live

Inquisitor was fun last night, can't believe I failed so many nerve tests though.

Anyone want to try out Kings Of war? You can use your warhammer armies

At some point I'll give it a go, need to get an army first. Did you get my pm?

I'm probably going to bring some warmachine with me monday night, namely Cryx but ony 25 points if someone is up for a game, i'll also bring Malifaux too

I probably will be, though I'll have to work out a list.

Just got back from Lazarbowl, finished second with 3 landslide victories and 1 2-0 loss.

http://forum.manticblog.com/entry.php?1036-Lazarball-I

More info here

Working on an idea for a skirmish wargame, I'll post some details if anyone's interested.

Just a reminder for everyone, next week we will be gaming on Tuesday due to the bank holiday.

Anyone for a game this monday?

Well I don't have anything planned.

What would you like to play?

Well dreadball is always a good option but aside from that I can't really think of anything. Don't have many armies ready to be used for other systems.

Quick heads up everyone, I won't be able to get in on Monday, my car has broken down. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope it's fixed soon bud, who's doin what tonight?

I'm back for a little, got me some Protectorate of Menoth, though I've not read the full rules for Warmachine yet, and I have two Megacons for Mercs, if anyone wants a demo

 Formosa wrote:
Hope it's fixed soon bud, who's doin what tonight?

Well I took it to a local garage today, should know tomorrow what wrong. Oh and I'm doing bugger all tonight, might even pick up a paint brush.

Really quite pissed off about the car though as I've had to pull out of the Warzone Kickstarter.

I would like a mercs demo, will be down in 2 weeks.

Car should be fixed tomorrow, so I should almost certainly be able to get down next week as per usual.

anyone up for a game on Monday 19 April?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I was thinking 40k, but that's only as I have models for it. Happy to try a different game if you supply the gear for it tho!

I'm working late today, will try to get down asap

Might pop down for a few games of dreadball as I picked up some season two

Ooh I want to see the new stuff

3 days till deadzone!

Are we doing Inquisitor or should I bring other stuff this Monday?

Also I'm thinking of running a 40k campaign, I've spoken to Greg about it already, if any one is interested. It's node based all you need is 1750 points of 40k doesn't even need to be one army just as long as they can be allies. I know we've not had alot of luck running campaigns in the past but that's because I wasn't running them only joking. Seriously if your interested I need 2-3 people I'll bring my notes Monday so you can decide from an informed basis

I would say I'm interested but me have a 1750pt army ready to go? Not gunna happen any time soon.

Just updated the first post with a couple of bank holiday changes.

Hey guys, dusting off the rulebooks and models I have for Secrets of the Third Reich.

Anyone fancy trying it out?

Hey guys, my name is Owen, I first started playing over 15 years ago and used to play at GW vets nights in the late 90s, i Just recently got back into the hobby (well September last year) and slowly finding a suitable arrangement to fit all the hobby awesomeness into my life!
Primarily a WHFB player, I'm looking to test my burgeoning Empire collection and see how things go, who knows, maybe some big tournaments in the future.
I'd love to come down to the club on Tuesday and meet you all. I'm sure there will be a few faces I recognise, Formosa for sure (Hi T, I had a chat with you about possibly coming down maybe a couple of months ago) and perhaps one or two of you might remember/recognise me too.

Happy to come down and not expecting a game on my first night, but if anyone is free and fancies a crack at a pretty new general (played 5 games with the new rules - things have changed a lot since 6th!) then I'm happy to play against any list.
If its a possibility, points wise I love 3k games, but as a new player I'm not up to speedy play yet, so perhaps something a little smaller to get my feet wet with timed games.

Anyway, this is me - I also have a few other armies and a ridiculous collection of space marines that realistically might not get any love in the near future so may be able to discuss a few trades (meaning I could flesh out my WoC and HE with some of the new toys)

Looking forward to a few welcomes and perhaps an offer of a game to spur me on in my weekend off hobby binge..

So, yeah - let's see what happens!

I think this Tuesday you stand a decent chance at getting a game.

I look forward to meeting you, you'll instantly recognise me as the fat ginger bloke shouting at people to pay him if they want to play a game.

Yo Owen, yeah I remember you mate, if you are wanting a fantasy game on Monday, you are in luck, around 5 or 6 of us will be bringing our fantasy armies, I would happily give you a 2k game if you wish, or you can jump into the big game were having?

*cough* Tuesday *cough*

I wouldn't mind a 1v1 game to cement my learning of the rules. Although happy to jump into a big game to level things up if needed.
Ill bring a bunch of stuff and a few quartermaster lists and we can decide on the day as that might be easier.
Now to sort, prepare, fix and pack my stuff - playing at home has its advantages!
Cheers guys, looking forward to it!

Anyone want to do some deadzone rules testing one night this week or next monday?

Still planning on popping down Tuesday and would like to get a squad sized game (I'll supply models) of Secrets of the Third Reich.

Found a decent video on Youtube that explains how the game works; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BkCqjELQ8Y

Hi guys, real sorry but I'm not going to make it today. Shame as I was really looking forward to it!
Something has come up, so ill be visiting a friend in the hospital this evening. All is well (or should be soon).
Will come along next week though!

Every cloud though. It might mean my steam tank is even more painted for next week
Finally managed to remember how to mix paint up proper this weekend, so that's a win.
Building up thin layers is making these flat panels look half decent. Yay.

I might be able to give you a game. Last night I dug out my Dark Elves which haven't been used for months. I should be able to throw upto 3000pts together assuming I can get my corsairs ranked up and some models repaired.

Shock horror I might be playing a GW game for once.

I can play you at KoW with your Dark elves No to GW lol

I'm in at Strike Team level.

Yep definitely want more than a few games of Deadzone.

Just a quick confirmation that I'll have 3000pts of Dark Elves with me on Monday. I do have 1000 and 2000 point list written too. Oh and in case I can't get a fantasy game I'll have my Black Templars. No idea how many points I've got I'll work that out on Monday if needs be.

Not really possible to play KoW with my Dark Elves, unfortunately there's a few strange numbers of models, like 9 or 38 in there so I can squeeze characters into regiments.

Give me a few weeks to dig the spare models I know I've got somewhere out and I might be able to give you a game.

It really dnt matter Nick. As long as there on a movement tray exact numbers is not really an issue.
Guess im painting tonight then. Robots and Zor will be ready for some Dreadball very soon

So anyone for a game tomorrow??

Warmachine or a squad sized demo game of Secrets of the Third Reich, preferably the latter.

I would say yes but I'm going through one of my rare GW phases.

Hello all, I'll have my elves with me again this week. Can pretty much do any level of points up to 3000 if anyone wants a game.

Suits me I can do the same

Just to confirm that I will be down this evening with Warmachine and Secrets of the Third Reich.

Just a reminder for everyone that next week we'll be meeting on Tuesday due to the bank holiday.

I also have a small announcement to make, sometime this year probably on the club birthday in August we will be running a painting competition. I'm currently working out the full details and will hopefully be able to give at least a couple of months notice so that everyone has enough time to get their entries painted up.

My current thoughts are that there will be 3 categories each with their own prize and no limitations of genre (ie sci-fi, fantasy or historical):

Single Miniature
Large Miniature/Monster/Vehicle
Squad/Regiment

I'll throw up full details about what can be entered in each class when I've got everything confirmed. Additionally there will be a separate prize for best conversion chosen from every entry and of course an overall winner who will receive a truly awesome prize (and possibly a trophy too).

On the subject of the large prize my current thoughts are biased towards either Warhammer Fantasy or 40k since that's what most of our member play but I am open to say Warmahordes, historicals or anything else you guys can think of, so suggestions please. I was tempted by a large number of paints but I suspect that anyone entering this competition has enough paints anyway.

The final point is entry fees or a lack of them, obviously members get free entry but guests paying just to enter a painting competition seems kinda wrong. Thoughts please everyone.

I'll discuss this further with anyone who is interested on Tuesday.

^ I've pledged on Deadzone too, would still love to come along to the club some day, just need to get another house move out of the way and then I can get down to painting some armies and start gaming again.

Well if you do ever turn up I'll happily have a game of Deadzone.

Redacted

Just a quick reminder for everyone, could you all please throw any rubbish in the bin outside rather than the one in the room.

Oh and keep an eye out over the next couple of days for full details on the painting competition. Hopefully next week I will also be able to hand out printed copies of the rules too.

Want to play some Dreadball next week Nick?

Yeah sure, not had a game for a while.

Awesome, you coming to either of the events this month?

Probably not, no spare cash this month thanks to deadzone.

I can give you a free ticket You know it makes sense!

Can't even afford to pay you for fuel to get there sadly.

On a brighter note though I've just updated the main post with the painting competition details. I'll try to get some printed soon but I can't promise anything as my printer is very temperamental at the best of times.

Anyone want a small 40k game next week? I'd like to finally do something with thay small Eldar army I bought nearly 2 years ago and well the new codex is a good excuse. I can field up to 750pts.

I'll bring a 750 list with me. I know jonny and alex have both said they are bringing 40k with them also.

Sounds good. Now to actually build half my army, where did I leave those magnets.....

I have succumbed to Gw's evil pull again and am starting a new Tau army so you might see me for some one off battles in the future, gonna start at 500pts then 750 to 1000 etc. All for the greater good of course

Now there's a shocker, be good to see you down again Duane. BTW if you want a 40k game at the Wymondham club just let me know.

Going to be down tomorrow if anyone wants a game of Warmachine or to try out Secrets of the Third Reich.

I think it was fair to say that was a very very unusual game last night Shredder. Good fun though.

Yes, it was a good game.
The Harlequins did well, but no where near made their points back.
The crimson hunter was very effective.
The swooping hawks did nothing, but I didn't play them to the best of their abilities.
The jetbikes were great, but couldn't do anything once you tied them up in assault.
Your guardians did very well, that's a lot of firepower they put out.
Your Rangers were very good also, nearly taking out my flyer! and they were difficult to take out.
I'm looking forward to trying out my Dire Avengers in their wave serpent.

I have to say I was really impressed by just how resilient my toughness 3 5+ save Guardians were. Particularly once I tied those jetbikes up. I was really happy with the performance of the Rangers, I suspect I'll include another unit in larger armies.

What I really need though is some mobility and a decent anti tank option. I reckon for a 1000pt list a unit of Swooping Hawks and a Crimson Hunter would be a very nice addition. However I also really like the Striking Scorpions and Fire Prism.

Hi all!

I'm fairly new to the area and I've finally found enough time to start gaming again. I was hoping to come down and visit the club next week (the 1st July), but thought I'd introduce myself here first.

My main army is Dark Eldar for 40k, which is the only force that is in a playable state that I have with me. I also have a bit of fantasy (Night Goblins) and the beginnings of a Malifaux band (Lucius). What are the main things people play at the club? What points size is 'standard' for 40k?

I've started getting into miniature based board games (I blame kickstarter) recently, do people tend to play these? I have Dreadfleet (fully painted and tragically underused), a blood bowl team (but no board) and Super Dungeon Explore if anyone is interested.

Looking forward to coming down!

Hi,

The main games are definitely 40k and Fantasy, unfortunately Tragic (sorry Magic) the Gathering is also popular. I shouldn't complain too much though as that cardboard crack helps keep the club running.

For 40k the main game size tends to be 1750pts, for Fantasy it's anything between 2k and 3k. Although if you arrange a game in advance you'll probably be able to find some one willing to play pretty much any game size you can think of .

Other systems have previously been more common but those who most regularly turned up with other games aside from myself seem to have mostly disappeared. Still once Malifaux 2.0 appears and I have an incentive to repair my broken though over use Vics crew I'll happily play Malifaux with you.

Wouldn't mind playing Super Dungeon Explore either, played it once and had a lot of fun.

There is also Warmachine and Hordes, I'm happy to gave a demo game of the former at least.

That all sounds good! I can sort out a 1750pt Dark Eldar force easy enough. If I just bring it down next week will it be easy to find a game there and then? Or should I arrange one here ahead of time?

I'm an absolute Malifaux beginner but I would like to learn the game at some point. I just have the basic crew box for Lucius at the moment (and I still need to build them...). I suspect I may need some more stuff to make it playable.

Maybe when I come down we can find some people who'd be keen to play Super Dungeon Explore one week. Sadly I can only bring what I can carry on my bike so its army or board game :p

It's always good to have a fresh face and army to face.
Dark Eldar are my main army also, I've never actually played against them though, could be fun.

Huh! Just realised I've never played Dark Eldar either! Should be an interesting match up. I suspect we are very good at killing each other! Should be quite bloody

hey guys, do we have any dark age players?

nick my tau are still coming for you on monday

Good, doubt I'll be on best form mind you since I'm off to Silverstone tomorrow.

Sadly something's come up tonight so I'm not going to make it. I will be down next week though! Have a good session tonight guys.

Ok fair enough, see you next week then.

for the greater good! um i think, fun game nick still enjoyed it even though i got me ass wooped!

That was a bit one sided wasn't it? Sorry.

Good fun though, I must admit with all the marker lights I was really expecting to struggle as with such poor armour saves I really do need cover to survive. I think most of the credit for the win can probably go to the war walkers which survived an astonishing amount of "attention" from your army and probably earned their points back several times.

ive just ordered some new bits and bobs so my 750 list is gonna be a little different and i can field 1000pts now too! so a rematch is on the cards nick for the greater good

Got a 500 points IG force if anyone fancies a game?

ell season 3 dreadball is lookig great with the most charterful teams so far by a long way. Also 6 player dreadball ultimate was great fun

Redacted

The regional tournament that was meant to be held at TTN on the 22nd June was rearranged for the 27th July.

Who's up for going?

I would if I had any money, but with an upcoming house move to pay for my budget is really really tight atm.

I still have a free ticket

Anyone for a game on monday?

Hello all, I've got to work until 6 tomorrow at work, so I wont be down until about 7 cos I've gotta get a bus. I'll bring a box of scenery but if people want to make the most of the time they've got, they may have to start without terrain.

Hey guys, the Kickstarter for the RPG book I've been working on is now live!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/349041463/frozen-skies-a-savage-worlds-dieselpunk-rpg

Quick reminder for everyone that the painting competition is rapidly looming on the horizon. Sadly there will not be a trophy as I don't have the time to organise one with all the arrangements I have to make for my move.

Will most certainly be popping down tonight, Warmachine anyone?

Just a quick reminder it's the painting competition on Monday, I hope everyone has their entries ready.

Real life has finally allowed me a Monday to come down the club!
Is anyone up for a game of Fantasy on Monday night vs my Empire.

Little late but anyone coming down with some Infinity?

I'd like to try it.

Both me and Mark like infinity, I will text him for you and see if he wants to come down with it next week

I won't be down on Monday though :( but the week after quite possibly. If Formosa want's to bring his then we can work out a intro game etc etc.

 Formosa wrote:

Sure, I'll be down tomorrow.

Ariadna's the faction I'm interested in.

Might be a bit late tonight. Potentially got to do a bit of overtime.

I'll be down, but just to pick up my prize from Nick though

Hi guys i'm a returning player to 40k and was wondering if you play many games of 40k for people like me. I am 25 years old and have a full grey knights army i used to play at gw but due to RL issues i had to stop for awhile but i realy wana get back into it. I spend to much time at home these days and would like to get out at least once a week n do 40k.

as i dnt drive i would go straight from work to your club if i can find it but wont get there till 6 as i finish work at 5:30

also would it be worth me turning up one night and jsut have a look around and meet people first??

Yeah, just turn up.

Next week we'll be meeting on a Tuesday because of the Bank Holiday.

ok cool il drop by on tuesday then its my day off so i can make it at 5:30 what part of the school do you play in as it will be first time gonig and dont wana get lost and look like idiot wandering around a school at night

j knight wrote:

The bit next to the Methodist chapel, or the Chapelfield end closest to St Stephens roundabout.

ok thank you i hope to see you tuesday then

Yeah if you go into the school via the gates near the church, we're through the first set of doors in the main building. We do have plenty of 40k players so if you bring your army you can almost certainly get a game.

Look forward to seeing you.

Nick, you know you were talking about doing an escalation league if enough people were interested?
I would be interested in maybe warhammer fantasy or I like the look of dropzone commander.
But I'd only be able to do it once I've got a job!
With dropzone commander or any other system, it would only be worth doing if there were enough people to play against. I like the idea of playing another system. With fantasy, there are enough players that I know I'd get a game in.

Yeah the problem with non GW systems is that there's a brief surge in popularity then it seems to die off again, Infinity and Malifaux both had this. Obviously I'd love to see more systems take off but I think it's fair to say that we mainly play GW games.

I'll have a think about an escalation league more seriously this week and see who would be interested on Tuesday.

i changed my mind on tuesday 27th i will pop down for first time and will bring my 40k army if any 1 would be willing and if free table to welcome me with a friendly game let me know and at what points limit aswell thanks all

Well we normally play 1750 point games but most of us are willing to play smaller or larger games.

ok cool i will get a 1750 army list ready then see you all tuesday have a good weekend

Just a quick reminder for everyone, it's Tuesday this week rather than tomorrow.

see you then

Hi guys do I go through reception or is it another buildimg

I've been reading the WHFB rule book and the Tomb Kings army book. I'm definitely going to go for Tomb Kings.
I'm really liking the idea of fantasy, having read through the rule book.

Good choice, personally I'm looking at the Dwarves. Hopefully we'll discuss the escalation league with more people on Monday.

If anyone has got an army I could borrow, I'd love to get in on a game of Fantasy tomorrow, like I did before.
I've been reading up on it and looking through battle reports etc, and I'm really quite excited about starting.
I've just bought the Tomb Kings army book of ebay for £9.50 so pretty happy about that (don't think the wife will be, but too late now!)

Unfortunately I don't have a spare army ready to go.

Will try to make it down tonight, but in the gist of a house move and had a cold over the weekend.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
No, I won't be down tonight.

Any 1 up for a 40k game tonight 1750pts il be there at 6

I might have my marines with me, depends on whether I get the new codex in the post.

I'll be popping up tonight.

Anyone up for a game of either teaching me Infinity, playing Warmachine or taking a butchers at Secrets of the Third Reich?

I'll be there with 40K also, I have had a big kick on painting this week and have made some good progress on my Dark Eldar. I thought after their crushing victory last week, they deserved some attention.

Well il be there at 6 as dnt finish till 5:30 so if table free im up for 1v1 1750 or 2v2 1000 points see ya tonight

hey all, I'll be along again with my brets again, think there was some biggish fantasy game organised.



P.S: I've also found the IOB skaven I never got round to selling if anyone wants to buy 'um cheap off me.

Talking of selling stuff, I've got some stuff I want to get rid of.
I've got some orks, necrons and space marines.

Likewise, I have a box of Dark Elf Warriors to sell.

Shredder wat necrons you got for sale

I've got:
12 Warriors
3 Scarabs
5 lychguard with sword and shield
and imotekh
I did have some immortals but I've just sold those.

Right I'll definitely be down on Monday with my marines, although I'll only be able to run a 1500pt list as thanks to the new codex my army has gone from 1750pts to 1555pts. It'll only take a couple of tweaks to drop those 55pts though. I guess at some point I'll have to figure out what to add to the army, a thunderfire cannon and dakka pred are really tempting me.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if im posting this in the right area but im sure someone will let me know either way...

Jamie and I (James) have a 2400 tag team match planned ... Brets/Brets vs Chaos/Skaven.

You guys know who you are, im not goin to try and guess your usernames ....Getting the thread going so we can organise details. Thanks guys

Well, I'm sure you can guess who Moe the orc is.

A few members don't use the forum so you're not going to be able to do much organising. I wouldn't worry though we never organise these games anyway. We just show up and play.

@ James;
Hey, I'm the other bret player, not sure if lee (the skaven player) uses this forum much.
But from memory his army goes along the lines of: Lvl 4 seer on bell in a biggish unit of clan rats, 1-2 units of storm vermin(horde formation), 2 hellpits, 2 morters, then a small unit of rats and 1-2 rats ogres as chaff. - hope that helps.

I've sent a pm to you with a rough idea of what I run, as I'm pretty sure you were the other bret player. If i've got names muddled up and sent the list to the opponents then that's my bad.

Small update re me playing 40k, I'm back up to 1750, bringing the templars out of storage and back as allies. I'm sure I'll lose horribly as it's fair to say that my list is basically a random assortment of what I can fit into 1750pts from two separate 1500pt armies but what the hell, it looks like a fun list to play and since I'm using my White Minotaurs as Imperial Fists successors fluffy.

hi guys im sorry to say i cant coem tomo night for the 40k doubles with my grey knights something has poped up n i cant make it hope you all have a good night and see ya next week

I'll be down tonight, most probably with my Lizardmen
But then again will there be someone to play as i see theres a doubles fantasy game going on.

Anyone for warmachine/hordes on this coming Monday, stormwell/nick? anyone?

OK, I'll have to sort out a list.

Jack here, back in Norwich, will be coming down tomorrow

Just a heads up for everyone, my access to the internet is going to be rather patchy for the next few days so if you need to contact anyone about the club Alex and Moe are your best bets.

Going to make sure that I make it down tomorrow, I'll be bringing a couple of squads to do a demo game of Secrets of the Third Reich with.

Woo I have internet again, anyone reading this who needs to contact a representative of the club can feel free to contact me again.

Oh and I've ordered a nice pile of Daemons to get my mono slaanesh army started.

I have a 500pt Combat Patrol army!

Anyone fancy a small game on Monday?

Is there anyone attending the club today who doesn't have a game arranged and wants to play Warhammer Fantasy against Empire?
Have literally the whole day off so will be packing up my case and heading down to the club for the first time (finally!) this evening.

Whilst I won't have any fantasy with me this week, I'm sure you'll be able to get a game. Unfortunately quite a few of our regular fantasy players don't post on or read this thread.

Excellent thanks Nick. Do you know what points Lvl people normally play at?

Its usually around 2400, sometimes 2000. I might be down tonight, not sure yet. I'll post on here to say if I am or not later on.

Voltan Ignatio wrote:

As Gorillawizard said, it's mostly 2400 with occasional 2k or 3k games. Getting a smaller game shouldn't be an issue either as long as you don't mind waiting for someone to write a list.

Ok won't be down tonight, but their are usually around 5-6 guys with fantasy, Me, Moe, Lee, neil and two other who i don't really know.

Well my Guard lived up to their nickname of 'The Bad Luck Boys'.

But there is still hope for the 13th Battalion, Morridane Darkwatch.
