Episode IV of the voxnetradio podcasts is available now dudes.

You can find it here.

Listen to the guys talk 40k whilst you paint or convert!

If I can clear it with "she who must be obeyed” I’ve been thinking about popping down to WHW on the 30th Dec to play test the Blitzkrieg/ Dog fight rules with my son, would anyone else be interested?

I would be up for it again on the provision of permission being granted. Will try and ask once she is 'merry' tomorrow

I should be free too.

Btw has anyone used Black Lotus Tribe Shields from maxmini

So did everyone have a good Christmas? Got a lifta droppa and war kopta from my better half, did you guys get anything good for the up coming campaign?

The wife dosen't do war games but i'm planning to treat myself to a super canon, and i'm torn between, scratch building a fortress or a Blasta Bommer.

Is the blasts bomber the super heavy flyer? If so you definitely need to build one of them!

Santy (tracey) was very good to me... My imperial fists have been bolstered by a thunderhawk, and i've got a stompa for the waaagh! In March!

Thunderhawk... I almost wept!

Merry christmas!

WOW - i got the betrayal book and was impressed!

you just need to painting it white and blue and it would be prefect!

Very nice mate the thunderhawk will look awesome with your fists

I'm into the second part of betrayal, i think its the best heresy book yet! Unfortunately my world eaters are concluded so it will be very yellow when painted! Was always the idea in my head when i daydreamed about it anyway!

Will try to work on the pack this evening so keep your eyes open for an update over the next few days!

Oh man, you’ve hit the jackpot.

I’ve been told that the 30th isn’t the right time to disappear for half a day to play silly games. I need to find another time to do it. I did treat myself to the super canon though!

Campaign Pack has been updated!

All games are now laid out with point details! I've chosen to limit the apocalypse forces to 5000 points for now. This is in order to ensure we don't have a late start building lists on Sunday morning again (my fault probably but its all a learning process). Hopefully its a large enough number to encourage you to field some more epic scale armies. If there is scope and time to organise larger forces it will have to be done before the weekend or on Saturday lunch time to ensure we're ready to go Sunday!

Cast your eyes over them dudes and let me know what you think.

I'll try to get the additional Ork forces ready over the next few days!

I need a couple of people to help me with something scenery wise, pm me please if you think you can assist. (It got to be secret , so pm's only!)

Waaagh!

Mmmm... Thunderhawk...

May I just say that the Ullanor Campaign sounds like its gonna be epic. I'm not available that weekend myself (busy doing stuff for Salute) and, even if I were, my Heresy Era Ashigaru/Samurai IG would be nowhere near ready... Gutted, 'cos it sounds like it'll be fun :(

You'll just have to come to the July event... and November obviously!

Well, November goes without saying, Geordie, but I would like to get involved in some games earlier than that if possible. It may require me extracting a finger or two from some of the juicy pies...

Sounds, well, a little filthy to be honest! Oh er missus style!

I've just finished reading Betrayer! ADB is by far and away the best heresy novelist! More plans and further weekends dedicated to his work inspired ideas i think...

Waaagh! Urruk takes shape and grows... the WIP Ork update pack is available beneath the Campaign pack on page1

Remember, it's a work in progress, I've put it up now in order to let those that want to make some extra stuff do so as I may not get a chance to add other stuff over the next fortnight!

Some points to remember -

- The points are yet to be decided for the most part.

- Actual weapon load outs for units (Battlekopta/ThundaNobz) will be pretty much the same as the codex but have stuff that is not necessary removed e.g boarding planks or bike options etc etc)

- The battlekopta will not be as fast as a regular flyer (just need to figure out the wording, will be a flyer that moves at tank speeds)

- The battlekopta doesn't need to be a "kopta" it can be a massive plane or a blimp or whatever! As long as it looks like it could be a big old thing and is on a flying base then its fine by me (Please don't just stick battlewagons straight onto flying stands, at least remove the wheels and add repulsors or something)

- Da Warlords are basically Ghazgkhull/Wazdakka etc with different names!

- I'm going to make a Kustom Gargant Table so we can get some REALLY BIG Orky Apocalypse units to help out the diddy stompas! I@ll work on it in the next few weeks... be ready to scratch build!

Any suggestions and stuff please let me know. If you haven't checked the campaign pack yet then please do so and tell me what you reckon!

Nice work Scott, you've given me alot to think about. I'm starting to look at my kitbash Mega Dread with a mega boss slant now.

Happy new year guys. Hope you had a good one.

New year? When did that happen? With all the packing/driving/packing/driving/unpaccking of moving houise... I think i missed it!

This weekend hopefully! I hope it plays okay!

vraksianrebel wrote:So how is everyone getting on with their armies then?

Got a stompa to build and a Primork to bash together... one or two other things in the pipeline!

I’m Orking up some bastions, and I have the bitz together to build a Mega Dread/ Primork and a super canon.
Scott what’s the score with HQ units with the Orks, the pack says only one per army is that right?

You must be reffering to the Blitzkireg "flyer mission?" Yes one HQ. The other games allow more in line with regular force organisation.

Just checked the Urrlak Pack and i think thats what you mean Nick... it's one HQ from the Codex which is identified as a named character or unique (with a changed name for pre-heresy reasons). You can always take one of these and a standard Warboss or unamed HQ type! I may change it actually as I want Wazdakka and Ghazghkull... or dakkawaz and Kullghazgh... I'll get better names for them before march!

Cool, I like the Wazdakka, Gaz combo too!

Besides if all the Imperials decided to bring a Primarc and the Emperor makes an appearance we might need a few more big’uns for a proper fight.

True... not sure the Big E will make an appearance like... hopefully we'll see the sons in action though!

I can’t wait to see how many Primarchs get killed by Stompa super gattlers, it has the potential for a virtual river of tears.

I'm putting the mini-gatler on my Urllak Urruk, going to try and source a punisher from a leman russ!

Scott have a look at the forgeworld punisher cannons load out for the vulture would work really well as a ridiculous weapon for orks

if anyone got a spare angron i could be persuaded to drop a LoW

There are more legion specific details in the Tempus Fugitives Age of the Emperor pack that we ill be using for the Astartes on the weekend. Notably, Emperors Children and Imperial Fists are in there too... Yay!

http://www.tempusfugitives.co.uk/pdf/40k/AotE%20Expansion.pdf

Scott how picky are you going to be about the pre heresy space marines, my son has a standard 40k Salamander army, could he use that or do you need it to be the older marks of armour and equipment ie FW or equivalent models?

Ideally http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Power_Armour#.UOcUa4cgGSM

Mk 6 or earlier. You can get the old rogue trader era breakie mk 6 cheap off eBay

We got any Luna wolves players ?

I'm not going to be picky at all really, as long as you use the tempus fugitives lists and characters from the era i don't see their being too much of a problem!

No Luna Wolves as yet... even amongst the TF I think they're rare because they're only available for the earliest era!

Well it's all gone very quiet, I was wondering how everyone is getting on?

My Mega dread is starting to take shape now, I’ve the basic structure built and have gone for the upright Deffila build just need to Ork it up and decide on the pose and how much Dakka to add.

My bastion is also progressing well, just need to finish off the rivets and add some gliffs.
I have also managed to pick up a load of extra Nobz on e-bay, to help take on those annoying Terminators.
I’ll try and post some pictures of the progress.

I've been a little busy this week, moving to leeds and sorting out our place in Lincoln so I've made no progress on anything I'm afraid.

Been talking to Mikeey and if he has time he is planning on making a Primork, even though he's playing as Emperors Children!

Hi guys,

I'll be joining in with the AotE campaign in March. I'll be bringing Squats (counting as Imperial Guard) with pre-heresy World Eaters as allies, to boost my army up to 5,000pts for the apocalypse game on day two (and to give me the minimum 50% jump-packs/flyers for game one).

My army features a number of conversions, including a couple of scratchbuilt Overlord Airships (counting as Vendettas) and some of Ramshackle Games' resin tanks which I've modified into artillery pieces - Colossuses and Manticores specifically.

Graham.

Mega Dread/ Primeork WIP
I've got the basic shape done now, and I'm starting to bulk it out and Ork it up.
He's Big and nasty!

He's a big bar steward! With a very little head- awesome!

Nick that is awesome mate! Definitely needs to be a primork, with the supa gatler!
Well i put the finishing touches on my first 10 storm boyz last night, and started adding colour to the first of my planes, my main aim is to make sure i get at least the blitzkreig 1000pts finished by the end of january (preferably a lot more as well)

Yep, need to sort the Dakka out now, I've already given him 2 skorchas and a pair of Power Klaws.
I'm planning to have a go at scratch building a Mini Gattler to go on the top of it next, if it works out i'll magnetise it so he can still be used as a Mega Dread.
I’ve moved on with bulking out the limbs since the photo so it’s all starting to come together.

Hopefully I'll get the ork data stuff finished over the next week and we'll be able to start list building!

Wow - i need big guns - looks for a fellblade or Angron....

You got any pic of you WE army scott?

Hopefully the picture will show what I need to get painted by the end of January to be on target lol

I'll take a full pic sometime soon and post it up!

Sadly a full picture of everything I need to paint would probably make me so depressed I would stop lol. Everything is getting the most basic paint job I can manage and still I am concerned I won't get everything done

Tantalising stuff, I can see some interesting FW items hidden in there. I can’t wait to see the full Waargh unleashed.
Do we have any idea of the numbers of Ork players involved yet?

Having had to pack them all away and unpack them at the other end I've had a lot of time to look at my WE's and since the HH stuff I've realised there is a distinct lack of gold trim on my dudes. Would be a lot of work to jazz them up! May try to do it eventually though.

Keep the faith dude

Gold trim, is a new thing old Skool colours always wins for me.

Currently I can't make up my mind what to use in the games

KHARN!!!

My khan doesn't have the bunny ears...

Any listen to butchers nails yet? Khan sound like he should be a white scars

The White Scars are featured in the latest Garro tail. They are extremely over-mongolian steroetype accents and when you hear it, very distinctly different and over the top in comparison to Kharns. The best thing is that the same voice actor plays Kharn in the 40k audio story too, continuity is good.

Read Betrayer last month, very good (ADM is awesome) and he describes Kharn with a regular non-bunnyears lid too. I reckon FW will remove them if they get round to a 30k version too.

I have to admit I like the above

The current model fine cast painted to a high standard and losing the bare arms and a skull or 2 wouldn't be to far from it.

This is the Black Library version featured pic in Betrayer!

in fairness mark, the kharn you have made looks pretty good, we just need to give it a decent paint job and he should look awesome,
Nick i have a fair few forgeworld goodies to play with, luckily any time i get presents for xmas or birthday my other half always gets me FW stuff
Really want to get the FW stompa but that might have to wait for the next ork game i suspect,

Lucky you, I love the FW models but would need to sell my soul to be able to afford that Stompa.
Model envy, is a terrible thing!

Maybe I/we should give him bunny ears too!

That BL image is rather nasty, but is it really kharn

Nick & Matt - I would not worry about FW models, they will be devoured by the might of the legions

When you say "might of the legions" all I hear is, a plentiful supply of luxury tinned food!

How is your sons army coming along nick?

lol ah the bickering between sides marvelous,

I am just trying to work out if i am actually going to be able to use some of the FW stuff, need to make sure i am only painting stuff i actually need as it were
Trouble is every time i look at a FW model i think 'i need to include that as its awesome' so the army takes on a bit of an odd shape lol
I absolutely have to try and fit the lifta droppa into as many lists as i can, the model is epic and the rules are wonderfully old school ork!

Being the only Imperial voice atm, I feeling the need to be arrogant to maintain some confidence

Who else is letting the models rules they army lists?

llamafish wrote:

He has a vast 40k army (Salamanders) but I'm not sure how they or he will cope with the change to AOTE.
I feel a little undecided about him not using the correct marks of armour, so I might split my Orks with him with a painting push we should have 10k plus points to choose from.
What are people’s thoughts on the matter?

I & Matt wouldnt have any issue with it - there dont have proven mettle rules (scott can correct me if i am wrong) for unit with the "correct" armour anymore. All my WE are mostly anvil bodies and parts from other suppliers


plus of all the legions salamanders would be the most up to date & look at Kharn above, his in MK7 armour...


Anyhow that my thoughts

It wouldn't bother me at all. As long as they are (which they are) a first founding legion I'm not going to push anybody to field FW etc. If I played Imperial fists I'de be using almost exclusively 40k mk armour and most of my World Eaters are taken from the plastic assault squad kits anyway. As long as you can fit them into the AotE force org and squads etc then I can't see it being an issue mate.

Cool, that’s something to consider then, typically though the Salamanders are the only chapter in the AOTE expansion who haven’t had their section updated.

Had a really productive afternoon... November will be awesome!

November? Scott you do realise we have two other games before then! What have you been up to?

So how many players are there for the imperial side?

Also, i haven't begun to canvas for players in the same way as i did for discordia at the moment. A few days and i'll be going hell for stressed out leather again like last time!

Alright, I'm posting! Ha ha, yup I wanna to take part, just don't want to get too excited and not get the models like what happened last time! Also cause my emperors children are part chaotic what itheextent to which I can use chaos stuff? Granted no daemons- but what about the hell blades?

Im open to the idea if you paint of the curly slaanesh symbols! Mainly because i have okay'd a mix of fw rules with the tf flyers for others! Maybe check the rules for the imperial fighters and see if there is anything you can use to 'count as' such as thunderbolts etc with similar autocannon load outs rather than using the hellblade stats! Also, since you have an awesome storm eagle, you won't be looking at a massive amount of points to make the minimum anywho! Remember also that if you choose to take da allies for later on, you can use them and their shiny newness as well as existing skimmers to make up any potential short fall!

The Campaign Pack has been updated! Take a peak chaps and enjoy the new look!

Oh Man! The Salamanders rules make me want to switch sides, 10 man twin linked flamer squads with soul blaze, pimped terminator squads and Brander priests. They are so cool they need their own Codex!

Kudos to James then! But Scott in a GW style you do still own the intellectual property rites

It's the first time i've ever had anything considerably close to intellectual so I guess that is also a compliment as well as a statement!

Please don't switch sides... unless your son can play as your Orks! We need a Waaagh! to remember!

There is a rumour that next months white dwarf will feature the rules for flyers that were recently published in the crusade of fire book. If this turns out to be true and if they are any good we may incorporate them into the flyer game for Ullanor. It won't change the mission in any way just add an extra element to it. If they're rubbish rules we won't use them. Its only a rumour though i thought i'd put it out there to see if anybody has any experience with them yet?

The Bl**dy B@#*ards, the main reason I got that book was for the extra flyers rules.

Its only a rumour at the minute!

- Received this truly lovely post on the Tempus Fugitives Forum today... can you tell this dude has his own event to promote at TTN?

Yeah least it isn't just a word document anymore, games workshop might be a bit angry for the usage of there codex borders though, you might need to contact them about that, they dislike their IP being used, did they allow you to use their pictures as well? Gotta make sure that's covered.

It'd be nice if you didn't repeat the picture on the front cover with the one AS SOON AS YOU OPEN IT, try a different one, i'm sure there are others from the same era, plus if you are using GW IP them i'm sure that there are plenty in their books to use.

The blitzkrieg rules forcing people to take 50% seems rather unjust, what if people don't want Rough Riders or Jump Packers? and want pure infantry, they can't play that game?

Also I take is Maunsfeld Games is just Mansfield Games under a new name right, so same place, same dodgey company ect?

Why are you using Stuarts AOTE rules? don't you think this is a bit unfair to then? I know he said you could but I mean, you said yourself you didn't want to piggy back of the success which is the Tempus Fugitives yet you're using there rules and basically holding their event, inviting their members...


- My reply!

Do me a favour! Hows about you don't come on here and belittle and pick on everything I am attempting to do! I'm sure I could go onto your thread and pick holes in your plans etc, but I don't!

Your attitude distinctly comes across as, "lets rip it apart on the forum so that people don't go... as I've got my event to promote, I'll pull his apart!" Stick to promoting your event. Some of your previous comments I took on board and appreciated but you've gone beyond helpful advice to straight up slagging!

I asked Stu, many many months ago if I could use the TF rules to host an AotE weekend for those of use who can't travel to TTN or make the TF schedule! He said he was more than happy for us to do so as the rules are there for everybody to use, that is why they are free to download and view at everybody's leisure. Most of the TF members agreed on a previous thread that it was in no way demeaing to the TF or to Stu for people to use his exemplary work at events, as that is why he goes to those lengths! What you are suggesting is laughable... surely simply by hosting a standard 40k event we all PIGGY BACK Games Workshop!

Do me a favour f*** off back to Armageddon and crawl under the rock you came from!


- Does anybody have any thoughts on this that they'd like to share?

Weapon stops firing;
Cocking handle is fully to the rear, No rounds in the magazine or chamber = Empty magazine, change magazine, bolt release and forward assist.

Thanks dude. I'm still raging. I Like the way you put that though.

Sounds like whoever it is, is a total tool. Well forget that animosity is rocking it where everyone is welcome and everyone can enjoy the hobby as it should be enjoyed. What is this TTN anyhow? Thought is was just a new studio for beasts of war!

Its been one of those totally demoralising days... Things had been going far to well for the Ullanor weekend something was bound to slap me in the face!

As a short term measure i've taken the campaign pack down as it is quite plausible that this dude will bubble us to gw. I will make an effort to ask them whether they have issues in this regard. If so we'll get a fresh pack up in the next week or so.

If you didn't get to see James's awesome work i can only apologise... It was so many levels above my efforts it made me weep to behold such awesomsauce! May be one of the reasons the dude has taken a dislike to our efforts as i imagine James's work was also a long way ahead of theirs!

Anyway, please bare with me in these troublesome times.

No problem dude, keep the faith.

Every time some one mentions TTN i increasingly refuse to go.

Questions for GW? By the God-Emperor why can't Space Marine Chapters share their STC vehicle plans?

Things have really slowed down hobby wise, being a house husband sounds good on paper but I’m being tag-teamed by the kids. As a result, I can’t get much spare time to indulge, so I still have a tone of work to do on the Bastion and Primeork before I can start painting.

Nick, i work with some welders, want a couple of cages knocking up?......

(I'm I allow to say stuff like that anymore :S )

I still haven't been able to move forward with my orks either! In limbo moving between lincoln, leeds and newcastle every few days... Rubbish!

Well I have been laid up in bed for most of this week so really fallen behind on my painting.
Hopefully I will be able to get some stuff done this weekend

Okay chaps, just a quick update on where we stand right now! With some uneccessary and provoked drama earlier in the week and a few chaps, including myself, struggling to get things going i will endeavour to get the Ullanor Crusade back on the track this weekend!

Our venue is running a large tournament this weekend. When they recover from one of their largest annual events we will get tickets on sale next week!

Bitz box will be spomsoring our conversion competition again! Revised rules will allow for 60mm based miniatures to enter too... Primorks and Primarchs are especially welcome! Whats more, they've allowed me access to their blog -the fools, the crazy crazy fools- so i'll be able to reach out to their customers on a more regular basis!

Nukearts are still onboard and will be once again producing an excellent prize for the painting competition! They're pretty much on board everythin that Animosity are hoping to produce and i'd like to help them by putting their name out there even more, their generosity and abilities deserve recognition!

I will endeavour to co-ordinate with voxnetradio over some podcast coverage of Ullanor! The guys are going to try to attend and join the fun so if anybody would like to volunteer to help with the coverage if they make it that would be sweet, it won't be arduous, just soundbite things!

I'm going to start putting my stompa together this week too, yay!

I have to say boys you are all well under way with preparations for the next (probably awesome) Animosity event!

I won't be attending this one as I have my hands full with our own campaign, check the blog, which is marching along at quite a pace now and people are battling away for the honor of best player and winning faction.

Inspired by Discordia so thanks Scott!

I will keep watching and may be interested in something a bit more non heresey.

July will return the Animosity action to the 41st millennium kantor... And a return for the crimson fists i hope!

Hope organising your campaign doesn't stress you out too much, it gets pretty hairy sometimes... Maybe thats just me?

Well here are a few work in progress shots of my blitzkrieg army

"orks orks orks orks, orks orks orks!"

Hey dudes!

I return with some exciting news. As the second event approaches, and I figure out a way to get over and put one over on those people that feel it is necessary to belittle the attempts of others when they are working towards increasing the level of enjoyment we all take from the hobby, I have taken steps!

Initially, whilst the campaign pack in a wip state will be returned to us as soon as possible, eventually it will be a thing of customised, and exclusive beauty... how so?

I have been in discussion with a well known artist from the deviant art site. Well known because his work, whilst as far removed from the stylistic imagery of Warhammer 40k, is easily recognisable and distinctly 40k in its very own niche! The support of this artist will help us to create a Campaign Pack unlike any other and give the Campaign Packs created by Animosity, their own style... his actually.

aerion-the-faithful's work will be instantly recognised by anybody who has spent more than five minutes on the internet searching for anything related to 40k. I think it is a great opportunity for us to work with him, and along with NukeArts and BitzBox we have some awesome contributing support.

Now comes the interesting bit. aerion-the-faithful will be completing 6 images for each pack. Of the six image there will be one full colour front cover and six black and white for the interior. In order to secure his services these commission pieces can be secured by you, if you so wish. Meaning that, if you want to own the 10" x 7" original canvas of the image you can. How do you do this? First, it will cost £30 for one of commissions. This should include postage and all being well I will give you the piece at the next event. If enough people are interested we will go forward with this. Should we be left with an image or two that are unaccounted for they will be raffled at the event.

If you are interested in owning the original print, you can have a say in what it contains, to a point. Basically, this time around as the event is pre-heresy and based upon Ullanor, we must have a theme. When the time comes for this offer for the July campaign pack we will be open to many more 40k races and themes. What does this mean? It means if you would like to own a picture that features a stompa you can have a picture with a stompa. If you want a particular Marine chapter, you can have a particular Marine chapter. You tell me what you want, I pass it on to our friend aerion and his artistic interpretation takes the piece forward.

This opportunity will be repeated a few months before each event and the finances all go to creating a great campaign pack. I hope this opportunity excites you guys as much as it does me!

This time around the opportunity is limited as a few pieces have been secured already. Our front cover has been determined, and the first Marine slot has been secured. The remaining slots are available on a first come first served basis should you be interested. I hope so.

PM me if you are and I will get back to you about what you wish to be incoporated as quickly as I can. It is worht bearing in mind that aerion needs details tomorrow, so it is vitally important if you want to get on board that you can PM me as soon as you can. Should there be slots remaining tomorrow I will dictate the subject matter and hope for the best at raffle!

Thanks for taking the time to digest this chaps! I hope it is of interest. The available pieces for input are below as well as a number of selected images from aerion-the-faithful's gallery.

Hey you guys!

Has been ages since I have been on here, how bad is that!?

I see the next event seems to be coming along nicely. I am trying to get the VoxNet team to come along too and give our support.... Ralph is even busy building an Ork army

Scott man, don't let the haters get to you, just remember their idiots and don't know any better, you should feel sorry for them and their lack of ability to be helpful and actually have an adult conversation. Even Mr T has agreed on this cause as we all know he "pity the fool"

Keep your focus and remember your are creating and building something you and all who join should be proud of... Also stop making me want to spend money!!! ;-)

If you want to grab something now is the time to come forward! There is limited time before aerion goes to work on the pieces. He has already started on the cover! I'll get some WIP up as soon as they're in!

I'm so excited by this I might just wet myself. These pics are going to look freakin ace in the campaign pack, make it look professional too.

As opposed to my gak efforts previously like? Ha!

"Oh no, not again!"

*runs for cover..

I'm going to go off like a hellstorm cannon!

Ha ha, yeah cause your previous efforts were so poop that we we had a cracking weekend and most of us want to come again! Lol. You know what I mean, as in it'll be ace with animosity's very own artwork to use ( as such).

Your always so positive mikey... How do you do it? Drugs?

Mainly, but other than that blind ignorance and usually a hammer serve me well.

I'm viewing on my phone so it looks good! Such lovely colour mikey! Is the apoth going to be you fabulous bill or just an apoth?

Dunno- thinking if I do do fabulous bill ( read post heresy Fabius bile) I've got to do the churigen for him and hi long hair. Hmmmmm we'll see.

Hey dudes!

It time to start plugging away at recruitment now so if I repeat myself alot as the thread moves on just ignore me...

I've uploaded the campaign pack minus pics as we wait for our commissioned work to be produced! The rules and game set up etc are the same as previously distributed.

Tickets will go on sale VERY soon... £25 will be the price for attending the Ullanor Crusade!

We still have two black and white images available for people to purchase. One must be a Pre-Heresy Space Marine image (Not Emperors Children) and one must be an Ork piece. If I don't hear back from anybody by tomorrow afternoon (24th Feb) then I will get the images that will suit the pack.

Keep posting on the thread dudes, and remember to spread the good word!

Ta da for now.

Just a single Ork Canvas left in our art offer! Thanks for the support dudes!

Scott have you thought about making a facebook page for the event/group? its a nice easy way to promote it to like minded friends etc

Just had a quick re-read of the game pack

Just a couple of points

- failed vector attack with jetpack - Is it intended for NO saves at all?

- cost of the event is stated at £20, i guessing that needs to be altered.

last thing scott - have you got my PM

The failed Vector attack is suppose to be similar to a failed dangerous terrain test, I'm pretty sure you don't get saves for that but if i'm wrong then I'll adjust Vector rule to reflect that.

Yes £25. I need to get that altered.

Yes got your PM, wil forward those details to our friendly artist!

Really looking forward to seeing how the art work turns out,
Now we all just need to get our armies ready in time!!!

If nothing else, it amusing watchin Matt stress over all the orks he gotta paint...

He's not alone on that front. Sar Mikael has a frak load of Emperors Children to paint up and my greenskin "horde" only has about twenty bodies in it so far (very expensive bodies though)

I might have to PM Mikeal and ask what his taking?

I strongly suggest tanks

I would love to do a proper green tide horde of boyz but i think i would go insane trying to get that many men painted in time!
maybe next years games wil feature a true horde lol

I'm going for an extremely Nob heavy Ork Waaagh!

Stompa building tonight with sar mikael and his emperors children!

I have chosen bike heavy but I suspect for the same reason

Just thought a couple of forum for all you per heresy and heresy nuts might find helpful

http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_First_Expedition/index.php?act=idx

http://www.tempusfugitives.co.uk/

Both have guides on how to reduce the cost, and not necessary using just FW models

Hi Scott & all,

Just a quick message to let you know that I definitely WILL be coming along to the Ullanor campaign weekender in March (wife-to-be's permission has been granted, though I'm not sure to what ultimate cost!), and that I will be bringing my Squat Guard along with World Eater allies.

I do have a couple of queries regarding army composition, which will help me to decide which models I need to finish off in time for the campaign:

- In game one, I will be using Squats (counts as IG) with WE allies (from the Tempus Fugitives booklet). Am I allowed unlimited units of flyers, jump infantry etc from both my main force and my allies, or would the allies still be limited to one unit each from Elites, Heavy & Fast Attack and two from Troops?

- In the Apocalypse game, once I have filled up my main FOC and allies FOC, an I allowed unlimited units from both main force and allies, or only from my main force?

- Do you require army lists to be submitted before the campaign for checking?

Thanks!

Graham S.

Squat and WE - I need to see some pictures of that!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I did think of using the limited number of squats and exo eggs to run the artillery for my WE force, but sadly i dont want to paint the exo eggs incase i can use them else where

I have pics of the Squats on our blog (search 'Claws and Fists') but I will try and upload some here too text week.

The World Eaters infantry are done (though I may add more Berzerkers/Rampagers and some Assault Terminators) so what I need to work on next are some WE tanks - probably a couple of Land Raider transports and some Predators.

G.

I would have thought if it fills in the FOC of that battle it might be ok? Suppose it could lead to power issue tho if your clever enough

BTW surprised you not using your squat fandex

Hhmmm, my Fandex is a way off of being complete yet. I'd love to get it finished this summer - once my wedding is done (Feb) I may have more time for dedicating to more important things!

Hey dude.

In game one you can field as many skimmer and flyers etc as you wish from primary or allied detachment. I would still suggest that allies that do not have the required unit types will be limited.

In Apocalypse once you fill the FOC for your Primary force you can take anything as long as it is Imperial!

No requirment for army list checking, only that you bring a copy or two for your opponents to take a peek at before the games.

I can't wait to see this stuff on the tabletop.

Hey dudes. Been trying to push for the tickets to launch this weekend but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. Hopefully early next week we will be able to get the tickets sorted!

Ta da for now dudes and remember, spread the good word to anybody who will listen...

NEVERMIND THAT - TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!

Open this link - http://www.maunsfeld-gaming.com/index.php?act=cat&cre=evt-tkt and scroll down until you see our event.

There are two ticket options, one for Orks, one for the Imperium players. Please purchase the correct ticket for your force.

Thanks dudes.

Ticket bought!

Looking forward to crushing the marauding green horde under the tracks of the Imperium's finest war-machines!

Graham Sanders.

One down, a load more to go! Thanks Graham.

I’ll take your Imperial ticket and raise you an Ork. I’m all paid up and ready to rumble!

WAAAGH! Thats two... what a great start, thanks Nick.

Thats me in, just unboxing my 3rd dakka jet all ready for shooting Grahams Battle Blimps out of the sky!!

I take there will be no Ewoks or other nasty suprises this time? Dont think Orks and Ewoks would be friends.

Geordie if you need some terrain for the weekend i have a Wall of Martyrs and some bastions i can bring along if you want.

I may take you up on that dude, thanks.

As for the ewoks, i had considered throwing the data sheet in for one or two newcomers in the standard games...

i hate the ewoks - we need them somewhere

Then they'll be there... On the Forest Moon of Rend'Ork

Excellent news, glad you're playing too Keith. I owe you some revenge for when you thrashed me with those Ork flyas the last time we played!

That was with the nids i think Graham and there was only 2 bombers at the time, lets see how you manage 3!!

Just added up how much Orks i have painted and have 1670pts completed, god this next 2 months is going to be painful.

Duncs

Three dakka jets on the Waaagh! is a scary proposition, just ask Sar Mikael how two churned up his Dark Angels a few months ago!

I've tallied up... So far i can make 3k including my half built Stompa! No primork in those figures either...

My Gears of Waaagh! Nobz total in at 468 points. With a bit of ebay mastery i may be able to get another squad like that, call the the Orkust and paint them with red trim!

Also need to source a toy Rancor for my brumak squiggoth!

Hey Animosity fans!

Scott will undoubtedly kick my Imperial rear for this but what the hey ;-)

Head over to VoxNet Radio to check out Scott's first mini cast, which I hope will be the 1st of many... and the main one when we get round to meeting up.... My bad!

http://voxnetradio.com/category/podcast/

well done Scott and thank you for doing it.

You git!

Exit Stage Left!

Haha man you should be proud, casting is awesome, and hey I mean like your famous anyway from Animosity so don't worry.

Anyway back to the awesomeness that is Animosity!

INfamous maybe...

Hi Scott,

I'm just planning my various forces for the Ullanor weekender, and I have a couple of queries:

- In the Doubles game (#3), is it 2000pts each, or 2000pts total for the two armies?

- Are IA Aeronautica units allowed? I'm hoping to count my two smaller 'Overlord' airships as Vultures and my larger airship as a Marauder Bomber (specifically for the Apocalypse game on day two).

I'm sure they'll be more questions, but for now that should allow me to get started on my lists. Thanks!

Graham S.

Yes 2k each, and yes you can use those counts as units dude!

Had a peak at the blog to check out the squat action! Look good, can't tell what you have used though!

Hey dudes. Is anybody interested in an addition to the first thread showing who is attending in March and what with?

I made a list for Discordia but that went extremely pear shaped as I formulated it on peoples promises and it looked extensive at stages. The only people I'll be adding to this list would be those that have purchased tickets in order to avoid any confusion.

Its just a though, let me know what you think. It could be a short list for a month or so anyway.

well i should be buying my ticket in the next few weeks, its nice to get an idea of who is playing so a list wouldnt be all bad, the only trouble is if its a slow starter might put people off until more names are on the list

I always like to see a list of gamers, plus the army they're bringing. Helps to get a bit of banter going between the players, I've found.

G.

Both points are extremely valid! It is one of the reasons i applied names before tickets last time but it gave an unrealistic account of our actual numbers and made planning even more pointless in the long run! I will put a list up but leave it until the end of feb and see how sales have progressed before i stick it up!

I’ve now got back on track with the Orks after being seduced into starting a new Dark Angels army. The riveting is all done on the bastion and i’ve assembled the Supper cannon and Mad Doc.

Just 16 more Nobz to paint and I’m all done.

Are you wanting to see lists posted in advance again Scott?

Only from the point of view of knowing who's taking what characters really in order to see if i can build on the basics of the narrative. Especially for the imperials as it would be good to know which primarchs and big names players will appear!

No ticket yet (not a surprise) - but Kharn & Bale should be making an appearance in my list.

(and Angron if I can afford him/allowed to burrow one)


Graham You got any Characters in your WE section or just Joseph Bugman for your squats

As an ork player for March i must say i like that attitude... We'll all be fighting each other until you get to Ullanor too!

Is it bad we thinking about the event after March?

I am thinking of a rough rider army...

Mark and i have been discussing the next event all morning, think Eldar are going to make an appearance, then back to the guard for Novemember!

Just to further fuel the fire for JULY, I'll be hosting and fielding the zombies from the zombaid collection and taking on the combined kill teams of each task force throughout the day.

Planning on using kill zone rules for that rather than kill team, this will allo for more individuality to each team member!

Ah - so maybe working out 2k of Eldar Wraith armies might not be productive time,

Well i am sure we will still need 2k armies Mark, its just that we will also need a kill zone army as well.
Scott where are the kill zone army rules from?

I will confirm which ones we are using and find the best source this afternoon. But yes, you'll still need proper armies the kill team/kill zone is just a feature game! If i'm right then you can probably make a wraith kill team anyway too!

Ooo sounding good - Does anyone know if/how the Warp spiders rule work/change for Mortis Kill zone games...

They could prove to be awkward foes to face

I'm not sure what you mean?

IE you thought there could just warp though the wall into corridors adjacent, shoot and warp back.

I am not sure if the rules allow that or if it just a dick move to try

I didn't realise they could move after shooting! Its certainly an interesting move if they can! I'm hoping we'll have enough zombies on the go that you'll not really have anywhere to go!

I wouldn't see it as a massive issue, da rules is da rules!

Lol - you got me worried now :S

Well if the charity zombie collection goes well we'll have loads and i'm thinking of asking all attending players to paint and donate a couple each to help! Is that reasonable do you think?

Yeah i cant see that being an issue. You should have a blue peter style fund chart on the number of reanimated corpses you got and the target you need

Theres a bit on the thread were i add a nurgle icon for every zombie pladged!

yeah if we could find out what sort of make up the units are supposed to be and roughly what sort of points limit that would be great

Dudes, anybody know the details for squiggoths? Not points but what can I arm it with?

I have a datasheet somewhere but not here, any help will be much appreciated!

gargantuan or regular?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
regular can have kannon, zzap gun or a lobba

gargantuan comes with 2 supa lobbas and 2 twin linked big shootas and can buy upto 4 extra big shootas
and may replace one or both supa lobbas with kilkannon or big zzapa
hope that helps

It does... how many orks does a gargantuan carry?

20 for the gargantuan, 10 for the regular
(this is all coming from raid of Kastorel novem book in case its changed in later versions)

Thats cool. It will be a counts as unit anyway and nowhere near the actual gargantuan squiggoth size but the rules will work for the puposes of what I'm making... sweet!

Thanks dude!

No worries mate, i do have one of the regular squigoths but i doubt i will end up using it in this game.
Unless i suddnely make it to the 5k game in which case i will definitely be using him

I'm looking at interesting ways of bumping up to 5k and this is definitely an interesting way to go, I hope it looks good!

I'm trying to field a very large dread mob probely 4 dreds, 9 killa kans, and at least 3!! stompas. And maybe 2 green tides if i can paint/borrow/trade it in time.

I've just finished putting together my ten nob bikers to join wazdakka! Vroooom!

Remember to add the painboy, hes a must for any self respecting nobz mob.

Oh aye he's in! Cybork bodies all the way too!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Snot sure if i need them actually! Is the smoke screen bike thing an invulnerable save?

Isnt it a cover save? so in that case a few things can negate it but i would still think the bikers are pretty damn survivable

It is a cover save, but I think flamer etc normally have litte affect on the high toughness

Cybork bodies it is then! Thats okay though, every point takes me closer to the total!

Back when i was a lad, players use to have getchin and orks charging like zulus towards the welsh,,,

One day I will fight a green tide

(does anyone have any clever ideas for a IG rough rider army, closest thing i can find is the Krieg Seige army rules with a junior rough rider squad, which only allows me a mere 36 rough riders)

Well if scott and the other Animosity players would agree to it i will write up a amry list idea that you could field a true rough rider army.

If you are considering fielding an entire rough rider force i'd be happy to look the other way just to see it on our table tops! Cool ideas/efforts deserve recognition! I'm sure nobody will have a problem to be honest cos everybody else will be up for seeing it and taking it on too!

In short, knock yourself out dude!

When is it for? Subtle hint... Don't make plans for november yet! There is something special planned! Other than that we could come up with a command squad rule and make rough riders count as troops if fielded or some such!

If its on a GW pdf its definitely a go!

Do it!

If it was't for the fact that its so damn ezpensive to get attilans i's give that a go myself!

Well there are always ways to build armies cheaply if you know where to look lol, that data sheet is helpful but still a bit limiting, would be nice to work something out that has more character to it, maybe a special character, commissar, maybe even some altered options for heavy support that could be worked out.
I will try and work out a proper codex listing tomorrow and post it on here and see what you guys think.

Horses or Xeno mounts?

Well that would be up to you, it doesn't need to effect the rules, although you could have an elite unit riding something more ferocious than the standard chaps

What about bikes? You don't really get ferocious bikes!

Lol well I think mark wanted it to be a horse and cold one style rough rider unit.
Looking at the seige of Vraks book you get the option to have a rough rider command unit with three levels of officer, junior senior and heroic, what would people opinions be on increasing the points cost of the heroic officer and adding a special rule 'allows rough rider/death riders to be taken as a troop choice'
That would then leave you with the standard siege army list from vraks 1,

I'm more than happy with that. I really want to see this take to the animosity table tops at some stage so I'll say yes to owt probably!

No objections from me. I think it would look really cool and add to the feel of the weekend, after all we’re playing a bit of a “mish- mash” of 30k/40k rules as it is. Point wise, based on the cost of the equivalent characters, Wazdakka, Kor’sarro Kahn and Sammael ect about 50 points on top of the base cost of the leader to be able to take riders as troops should be fare.

Here is a link to the cool KILL ZONE rules I mentioned in an earlier post.

http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?25052-Special-Operations-Killzone-6th-ed-Beta-available-40k-skirmish-game

There is also a special download for selecting your codex force but I'm not sure that will be necessary.

If you take a look at the pack, let me know what you think and whether we should maybe tweak here or there for our needs before I commit it to the next event pack.

The kill zone game is only one game for that weekend, we will be playing other standard 40k type games as ever. If the logistical issues of Discordia prove to be ironed out for Ullanor, we'll squeeze an Apocalypse game in on the Sunday again if that is what is preferred.

So take a look and be inspired!

Sadly I doubt we can get it built for this game but as long as the rules are going to be allowed we shall have to see what we can do

July would be good! (unsubtle hint... again) It wouldn't be suitable for November though...

Taking a look through the Kill Zone pack and there are a lot of things I will be removing for our purposes as they won't be necessary but if you see anything you like or dislike its open for debate.

I need to trim a lot in order to fit it into a campaign pack so we'll be using the basics and a few special bits but that is all.

Is Kill Zone basically Kill teams but with more rules?

When I played Kill teams, we trended to make it narrative lead, ie 4+ the Gk leaps to the next building to face the Ork Nob (granted has to be in normal movement range to start with).

(Battle of Balaclava might be a good starting point for the RR army. I think we make it a long term project if you got a special event for Nov, the eldar are currently priority still I had them since 15 and still not painted them )

so what is happening in november?
worries me that i am going to spend the rest of my life building entirely new armies for every animosity event lol

Lol - Matt I think you just actually painting what you own

Plus - it be the preheresy game (guessing), therefore you need to sort out your SW or Death Guard

You won't need a new army for november, just a select few dudes! I'll have a word with an associate of mine and see if we can't get some info out in the next week or two! It will be a kill zone derived force but there is a major caveate which will make things extremely interesting!

Yeah, kill zone is kill team with a few extra rules but allows for better and more selective unit choices and conversion opportunities! I'll have an animosity version of the rules in draft form in a week i hope!

I'm thinking of trying to add a massive apoc weekend to our schedule! If anybody has seen the mini-wargaming apocalypticon, think that, only us and not mwg! I'll only be able to do it if we can guartantee interest though so let me know what you think! Will not really be narrative, just good vs evil and huge!

Apoc weekend sounds good! Dont tell Matt, he will get too excited!

well a nice little break for kill zones in november will mean i can get to work on building up some other army more i guess,

As to a huge apocalypse game, i presume you mean to make it a 2 day single event? if so i am definitely up for that as long as we have some time to get stuff ready, not sure when would fit towards the end of the year i guess????

Will have to get my reaver painted i guess

It will probably be thrown into our schedule for december or january so plenty of time to work out specifics and stuff. It'll be a bring what you've got kind of thing with the only rule that way being to stick to good or evil with your forces!

just seen marks post and i am excited i just want time to get as much painted as possible!!!!!!

important question if we are keeping it good vs evil i presume traitor guard and tyranids would work????

Nids! Release the big critters!

(you think demon Prince Angron would want to come out to play?)

Yeah, that won't be an issue! They is both evil types!

I basically want to try an annual mega massive apocalypse event which means ditching narrative and playing across two days! I've already determined i will be playing imp fists/imp guard/dark angels/flesh tearers (if i get them painted up ever) and if i can ever get it finished, my imperator! So i reckon 15,000 for me if not more!

Will work out a reasonable total for each side and then folks will say, i'm bringing 10k, then I'll take the 10k off the total and so on! I want to aim high and see if we can exceed the mwg total but they do have massive fan base and folks fly across america to pitch in!

I wonder if World eaters would be able to agree with Nids there need the skulls and the nids can keep the rest of the bio material...

pretty sure i can get a fairly decent amount to bring along

See, we've got an event already! I'll get in touch with (im and see when we can schedule it at the end of the year or start of next!

lol - anyone reading this thread is going to be so confused what is going on

I don't think anybody else reads it to be honest... I think people only come to the events because i pursue them across the internet until they say yes!

I love how easily i am distracted, i really need to get the orks done, then its going to be Eldar for june.
Then hopefully some sort of break for the november thing whilst getting more evil stuff ready for the apocalypse game.

well thats the next years worth of painting planned out then lol

Doesn't really work on here though! Also, turn up in june and you'll be pretty lonely!

july?

Yup! Ha

june/july i never even remember which way round they are lol

so what sort of points are you thinking for november? are we talking a squad of termies or 5 scouts lol

Oh, too close! I'm keeping schtum for now!

lol well i probably have enough things to worry about i can probably afford to wait.

Will try and get some zombies painted up for you at some point

A massive Apocalypse game at the end of the year, Scott I think I love you!
But good v evil, which to choose?

surely orks and death guard?

Well the Kill zone army looks interesting! Might be worth a shot!

Yes but, I also have 5k worth of converted Elysian’s and 4k of shiny new Dark Angles, I really like the Idea of a massive Drop/ deepstrike force.

Damn - I am starting to think I got the smallest collection around here!

lol well wait and see which sides being out numbered and then put yourself down to balance things up, sadly i have bugger all in the way of good guys at the minute so evil is always going to be my first choice

Been working on the supplementary rules for our Kill Team games in July and potentially beyond!

I've called the additional rules "Animosity - Into the Fray" as I didn't want to rip off the Kill Team/Kill Zone name as well as the majority of the rules!

These rules will be available as soon as the Campaign Pack for July is ready (minus art). It won't be to long either!

Well I have finished some more orkie bits, nothing fancy following the advice of keep it simple

Onrks, orks, orks, orks!

I'll also be working on my bikers this week! 10 of 'em, armed to da teef!

I am planning to get 12 painted in total, but we shall see might try and get a few more if time and money allow

Does anyone understand how people can Rock up with 6 wraithlords now? It seem a little beardy even for me :S

is it using the 2 FOC if you have 2000 points or more,
some people seem to think that means as soon as you are running 2000 you can take 6 heavy support

Ey up chaps!

I need to focus my attentions on March for a bit. I've had my head in July/November for a week or two and I have realised that I haven't really been pushing attendance properly!

So, to start with, if you know people who want to get to use their expensive FW Betrayal books then get them to join us. If you know people who have pre-heresy or even just first founding chapters who'd like to join in, get them on-board. Anybody with any counts as Custodes or Mechanicum? They can come too! Know any Tempus fugitives who aren't obsessed with Table Top Nation? We'd be happy to see them in March for Ullanor!

Oh yeah, and all those Orks players out there, you need nothing special, just your greenskins (who are special enough already).

Spread the good word dudes and when we take the "Triumph at Ullanor" Picture it will be all the more epic!

Sorry for distracting you with talk of july/november

Will try and get anyone we know interested, could you set up a facebook event/group its a nice easy way to send it to appropriate folks we know looking at the event

I dont think I will be able to drag any extra body from my small gaming group to the event.

Might be worth me and Matt going to the vet gaming group at WHW to encourage some players?

Yes please! There is a dude who works in the shop... I think his name is Jamie, or Jay. He seemed a nice chap when I played him at Golconda and he had Iron Hands. If he's still there and you know who I mean could you tap him up too?

Good call. I've added my two penny's and left a link...

Much jealous and sad not to be playing this but future games I will be in. Our crusade of fire is nearing phase 2 and I have created a phase 2 kick off game that will be an 8 player epic!

Have a good weekend guys.

The pk for july will be out as soon as i can get it sorted kantor, it'll be a great weekend too!

Added some stuff to the Ork expansion...

I'll leave the attachment here and replace it in op too!

Its still WIP and won't be a word doc by the time its finished but it will give folks a chance to keep creating...

Also, some WIP from our resident artist!

“Thunda, Thunda, Thunda Nobz... Waaagh!”

Scott have you been watching 80's cartoon again...


Loving the WIP but which SM legion is it

loving the WiP pics cant wait to see the rest,

cant see the new ork pack until i get home

Looking good Scott, keep up the good work.

Answer - Yes... but you can never watch too much!

One of them is going to be Emperors Children.. the other, well, that iss kind of being kept under wraps as it is our front cover so it'll be a surprise. Funny thing is, from the brief I handed over I have no idea which of these is the front and which is the ordered EC greyscale. Seems a shame that the EC won't be in livid pink/purple colour too!

Anyway, its good to see some progress, even if it is a little later than hoped for.

Hope you guys don't mind me throwing Ogryns into the Ork pot... just seemed a good fit.

Ogryns has historically worked with Orks (gaming wise/fluff)

I am greatly upset of the lack of madboyz, weirdboy towers,
squig katapults, pulsa rockets.... should I stop

Joking a side looking great, I am a little upset not to see the gargant in action on the sunday!

Really i can use my ogryns!!!!!! thats awesome cant wait to see have a look at this pack tonight!

I need to build it first! Gargh, soo much to do!

Are those orky thing available in fw books? I don't have any stuff for them nut if you have and email me it i'll throw them in too!

Facebook page is up and running... http://www.facebook.com/animositycampaigns

@Matt - no you cant

TF have had madboyz in previous gaming packs.... i try to find them later.

Most that stuff i mentioned was epic or 2nd/3rd edition :S

It's be cool to include it, even if nobody uses it! Will give us options for further events too!

yeah its all stuff that i wouldnt be able to use this time, but expanding the pack is no bad thing

if i am allowed to take ogryns, can they be transported in my FW warkopta?

Can warkoptas transport Mega Nobz? I've placed the same restrictions on them as Mega Nobz with regards to arming loadout for battlewagons as they are bulky... so I guess if the warkopta can take mega nobz then Ogryns can ride a warkopta too.

If it has the option of being a dedicated transport then that will slide in too but it should specify in the warkopta datasheet.


vonxnetradio http://voxnetradio.com/ hit over 1000 downloads recently... seems almost 10% were my less than glorious Space Hulk minicast. Anyway, check them out as they have been supporters of the cause since the beginning.

We've also had over 20,000 hits on the forum here... I probably account for 10,000 views. Matt and Mark 4999 each, so to the remaining two who've viewed. thanks!

lol, those figures sound about right,

as to the warkopta i will look at the book tonight to see what it says about bulky etc, as far as i know bulky models just take up 2 spots the same as terminators etc, but will try and find out if anything else is stated anywhere

If that the case then should be sweet dude!

cool well if i cant find anything i will try and contact FW as they seem to reply quite quickly

damn, just checked raid on kastorel novem book (IA8) and it states for the warkopta that it cant transport models in mega armour. :(

so unless your flying battle wagon is supposed to be a lot more heavy duty sadly i wont be able to run commando ogryns lol

After this week, my viewings might rapidly decrease :( Due to having a real job!

(i might be able to afford a titan now...)

The battlekopta is a flying battlewagon, just no deffrollas! Does it say no to bulky? We'll call them bulky in this case and just use mega armour rule to restrict battlewagon options!

yeah the forgeworld 'chinork' states no models in mega armour (which at the time was the 5th edition of bulky,
in a battlewagon you can have mega armoured nobs they just take up 2 spaces,
Not the end of the world i will just fill the chinork with regular commandos rather than ogryns lol

will double check with imperial aeronautica tonight and see if the rules have altered for 6th but i doubt it

Something i found off the internet - looked quiet fun

Hi all.
Here are some house rules for Madboys, you can use for fun games with your mates.I hope you like them.(Inspired by the old Madboy rules from RT and Epic…)

The mad boys count all movement as moving through difficult terrain, they will not shoot but fight in close combat normaly.

I'll add these to the pack, maybe somebody will crack a unit out!

I might just be that man, I really love random fluff rules.

Is there or will there be any restrictions on how the unit can be armed?

Good man nick... Or should that be good Ork!

Praise to Gork and Mork!


Some nice ideas!

Check these bad boys out,

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/WORLD_EATERS_LEGION_RAMPAGER

i have - it a little upsetting how much i like them.. the price rag is a little high!!

Thats a recurring theme though isn't it. They're good, they look cool, but I'm sure that comverted minaitures have as much if not more about them than these in the end...

Why is my flag US?

In all fairness if you compare the price to the new dark angels terminators it actually starts looking pretty cheap

I'm not sure, i think the termy kit has a lot of awesome extras and, if you have spare termy bits lying around, like me, you can get two squads out of it!

Gargants, Madboyz and Ogryns added to the Ork list.

Check the expansion dudes and let me know what you think. I'll definitely try to build a gargant varient myself and hopefully we'll see a few on the table top.

forgot to add flakk attack guns to the Bonce options... I'll add them at a later date!

Wow it makes me want to go green!

Thats a good sign...

Mate it looks fantastic, just wish I had the time and resources to build a Garnant for myself.
Just a few points.

The Looted flyers feel very weekly armed and not random enough for me to want to take one over the available ork fast attack options, to encourage their use how about allowing any flyer to be looted by the Orks at codex cost with the following modifications;

Armour value all-round reduced by 1 to a minim of 10 due to unpredictable Ork upgrades.
Ballistic skill reduced to 2

Fighta ace- having spent some time fiddling with all the shiny knobs and switches the pilot/ crew have gained a better affinity with the weapon systems fitted to the aircraft and my engage Flyers and Skimmers with BS3. At a cost of 10 points

No really,Don’t press Dat!

Diss silly thing wont do wat i tell it, at the start of each turn role 1 D6 and consult the table

1 With a belch of flame the engine cuts out and the flyer starts to lose altitude. If in Hover mode while the pilot struggles to re-start the engines you must remain stationary and no weapons may be fired for the duration of the turn. If in flyer mode treat it as a fixed velocity result but without the loss of Hull Point and reduce BS by 1 for the duration of the turn.

2 The flyer makes a sudden and violent change of direction role a scatter dice and move flat out in the indicated direction if you role a hit you may chose the direction you move in but must still move the maximum distance. any unit that leaves the table joins re-joins the reserves.

3 No effect
4 No effect

5 Some form of advance navigation system has been engaged if in skimmer mode you may make an additional move during the assault phase as per the Jump pack rules. If in flyer mode you may make an additional 90 deg change of course at any point during your movement.

6 Some sort of advanced targeting system has been engaged all weapons may be fired twice this turn.


Just an idea what do you think? I like the image of orked up Storm Ravens or Necron pastries zooming about

It's a good idea, would need to change the weapon loadout though or make it a one stat line generic choice like the looted tank. Mainly as i wouldn't want to see an ork vendetta armed with lascannons, but zzap guns instead etc! Otherwise we may not see any other flyer but vendettas!

It's good though nick, i'll work on it over the next few days!

Also, once we've got Ullanor sorted i'll alter the pack slightly and make all the ork options available for future events too so we can see more gargants at other apocalypse games!

Thinking of making a rule about pairs, (mork and gork) in which when similar gargants operate side by side their powerfield overlap for a bonus! Any thoughts?

You're going to cost me a fortune if you keep this up. I have loads of things I want to build now.

You might want to set a minimum point percentage for troops though or you might just get a wall of Stompas and Garnants and not a Boy in sight.

Good point,you could give the choice of;
Up to three Twin linked; Supper shootas, big shootas, rockets, or Zapp/ supper Zapp guns at an appropriate cost.
The random nature of the Zapp weapons would stop them from being too overpowered.

Yup, thats the way to go!

I'll adjust them to suit but they won't be available as a squadron.

I'm going to raid the bitz box and have a go at some mad boyz. i'll post some WIP pics.

Sweet! I look forward to seeing the work, and how your Urrlak is coming on too!

I could only find three sets of legs but with a little bit of work I have my first mad Boyz made up. What do you think, are they mad enough?

Yeah... great effort! My favourite is the one with the stikkbomb in his gob!
