Thanks, they were a bit of a rush job, put together during the half time interval while watching the rugby on TV.
I just need to get 2 more boxes of Boyz, dam you! My painting pile is increasing fast and I thought I was pretty much done.

Truly though, I don't think its OP!

I've updated the looted flyers and added the power field upgrade to the Gargant info.

I think this is the Orks done dudes but if you have any more suggestions let me know as quick as. I want to move on to painting and making this stuff as opposed to writing up stats! March is almost upon us!

I like the idea of it, dont know if people will like you laying down 10 7" SD templates from the Burst Kannon let alone the rest of the ordenance that this thing could carry.

I hope some one builds one as it would be funny, oh look theres Primarch Angron, big scary dude, take any body out in combat, bang your dead!!!

True... I did use a reasonably fixed idea to raise the game for each variant increasing from the Stomp and moving up! I also used the weapon costs from many different Ork sources to make sure i wasn't far off the mark for their upgrade cost.

Thing is, if somebody builds a warlord titan or even an Imperator, then the orks won't want to fire on the Primarchs... they'd be nuts not to fire it all at the enemy titans. This is the plan in theory!

Scott, your Ork rules are a masterpiece.

I'd been dabbling with the idea of bringing my Death guard or new Dark Angles to the next event but now the lure of fielding a Garnant might be too strong for me.

Keep up the good work.

Loving the mad boyz nick! i managed to pick up a few of the old metal ones but i doubt i will be using them for this event unless suddenly my painting leaps forwards a fair amount lol.

It would be awesome to see a gargant or two especially for the apocalypse game at the end of the year, inspiration to get my warhound and reaver finished!

Thats the way! Fight big'uns with big'uns!

Received a boost to he zombie horde for July today!

No lovely geordie lilt this time but hey, you can't have everything!

Hey dudes! Spoken to Tim and whilst we've got a good balance so far for march, an even split actually at the moment, we need to get the tickets moving! If you haven't purchased yet please do so as soon as you can!

Thanks chaps!

done, hope it worked properly as kept loading really badly, joys of using the work computers lol

Good man

Done (before March also!)

TIcket purchased! WOOP WOOP. Also to add to this cataphractii conversions in progress along with assault marines, mk4 style!

Go mark I am surprised! And mike that sounds awesome can't wait to see some WiP

Yay! More players!

Thats the Squigoth finished now to start building Gargants!!

Duncs

Yay Gargants!

Have We got enough for the boarding ships ?

Not quite, but nearly

Gold, blue and white are starting to become my least favourite colours atm

I have been plotting paint ideas for next years preheresy game, space wolves so this time next year I can want to shoot myself painting grey

So here is the cataphractii at the mo, you pretty much get the idea.

From this angle you can't really tell the green stuff details I've added to the thighs, but I'm at work and using my phone to update this, so hey ho.

well that looks awesome, i do like the high gorget guard on the pre heresy stuff,

The kids went down for a good sleep this morning and I managed to get some more Mad Boyz done. I just need the weather to warm up a bit so I can get them primed (I've been told in no uncertain terms NOT to spray paint in the house).

next years preheresy game

Is this a reference to next years pre-heresy Animosity event? Surely not, you two were "only" thinking as far ahead as July last week...

Out of curiosity though... Ullanor has already been an eye opener! It does limit the number of races that can get involved unfortunately, but we'll take that on the chin this time around. The pre-heresy/heresy era is also a litte restrictive in terms of tau/nids/nec/gk so... what would be the best way to plan a second event within the era?

I really have a hankering to do The Siege of Terra! (this is even more restrictive as it means marines/imp vs traitor marines/imp) Whilst it would be a cool event to try and recreate, would it be TOO restrictive for our non heresy races and players?

We could look into the scouring and incorporate the fresh pages of Guillimans Codex:Astartes? It would essentially allow for Heresy characters... who lived, to fold into the current codex options and face chaos codex with their living era characters and dps etc as well as the other races they'd fight in the process of chasing said traitors back to the eye of terror!

I'm rambling. Somebody let me know what direction they'd like it to take and we'll discuss this one as a group!

Loving the crazy madboyz Nick!

With the Pre-heresy era, I would make the next event almost fictional, IE have war zone that happen to have a mixture of races and legion!

Once you name an event, more geeky players into 30k seem to go... "well ultramarines werent there..."

GK - could be one of the "missing legions" or beginning of the GK?

Tau and nids - misc xeno races

Yeah, i kind of hate the fact that some legions and primarchs get left out of stuff, especially the seige of terra!

Well you have to understand I get really bored at work so I sit and work out army lists or paint schemes or try to take over the earth you know what ever strikes my fancy lol.
As to plans for next year, the pre heresy thing is growing incredibly fast, with forgeworld churning out the models more and more people are making amazing armies so I wouldn't worry too much, but that said if there is a real need for zeno armies etc you can run almost anything as mark said by just creating an event in time. Its all made up at some point after all lol.
Other than that there is always ways to work armies into preheresy, Nids could be the megaarachnid on planet murder, Tau could just be a seperatist human/xeno army.
True important events like attack on terra get difficult but just twist the story, have xeno armies fighting marines to keep them from main battle or something like that.

I like the idea of doing something from the scouring... then traitor era marines can play alongside codex chaos etc... a mix of both worlds. Imperial fists clinging on to the era rules next to codex sm ultras and stuff! Also allows for pretty much every other race to get involved "in betveen dem!"

yeah the scouring works as well, but either way most stuff can be worked out if needs be.
You might find that by next year everyone and his dog has a true pre heresy army

We shall see.

Look at us, we're so easily distracted!

MARCH... its too close! I'll never get everything done at this rate!

lol yeah its way to easy to start wandering off into hobby butterfly mode.
i havent done any painting this week so far really need to crack on this weekend and get back on track.

Well I planning to use my WE collection in the apolo, march and the scouring events, just so I can just update as I go!

(Scouring event will make me build the demon angron waiting for me in a box.....)

Then that is a go! Next year, scouring!

If its scouring space wolves would still be very much pre heresy so suits me down to the ground lol.

Yes, and with Russ still i believe! Will ha be in your force

Matt got the 1980's model... I myself would disapprove of any non GW primarch


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ok I lied, but Matt just use him

Well as mark said I do have the 1980's model which is quite tempting to use or I might pick up a different one, but Russ will certainly make an appearance in my army

So you going to get the Tsons and SW HH if and when it comes out, plus when is the FW opening day?

Might have some limited SM model for us...

Are they running chronologically? I hope they ramp it up a little as 1 primarch a year is a pretty poor show! Especially if your painting up a heresy legion and you have to wait eighteen years to see the unlucky last one produced! I saw the abaddon mini at games day, wheres he at?

Anybody know anybody or even seen a luna wolves army at all (aside from a google image search), as i would love to see somebody bring Horus to the tabletop!

FW open day is 7th of april i believe, hopefully a few more primarchs are going to come out this year, you would think they would get all the ones out for this book this year but god knows with FW after all.
I would think about getting a space wolf based HH book depending on price and content, if you are going to need to buy the whole run of 75 quid books i suspect i will look elsewhere for rules

Is the open day a ticketed affair?

If its OPEN, as the name suggests I may try to get there, if only to see if they have any decent pre-release black library stuff!

I hope their show miniatures are better than last years... who wants a weedy looking arbite with a dog, after all? It could have been sooo much better! Suppose the wolf was pretty cool in its way though.

How are you two coming on with the rough rider thing by the way?

Well....

Matt found me the places to go get the bits.... but i really cant see it happening soon. I got eldar army to do for the following event, apolo game is just going to be an excuse to paint up the rest of my WE based models and unloved Nids (i hate the latest nid codex, my poor ninja fex...).

Then is the kill teams game, which i did consider using RR, however i think will be eldar, That leaves us at the scouring event, which might see some RR action!

(RR = Rough riders ) Sadly it seems silly to buy a new army when you got some in boxes.... and if I ever get into WHFB i got 3k of orc and dwarves...

I ask as in a few days the Animosity Ork expansion will be magically re-worked by chilledmonkeybrains and look much beTter than my version! I was considering making a whole rough rider expansion to suit... Anyway, i understand the problems at hand with multiple collections so if its a no go at least we'll have a second, cool expansion for people to look at! I've been checking out attilans on ebay see... Had me thinking warm 40k thoughts about deploying an entire cavalry regiment in two rows across a table edge! It would look extremely cool!

Did you get to warhammer world for veteran thingy? I'm trying to think of a way to get more info out to ork players as were starting to look imp top heavy! Haven't been able to limit tickets to ork numbers to maintain balance so it is what it is!

Yeh, with 6wks left, i dont think i can make RR army .

Victoria minatures, curious creations are the best place to look for RR other than FW.

Soo..... me you and matt with a totally RR armies

Its a project for 2014 maybe! Got to get my imperial fists finished this year, and a few little projects before i start anything new! Bonus for me, i have pretty much got the armoured division for any RR force already as my imperial guard army is quite large and extremely tanky!

Why do people feel the need to bid at the last minute... if you want it that much, bid you max well in advance that way I know from day one when I put my maximum in straight away that your willing to pay more than me... this way, I don't make wonderful plans in my head about what I will do with the model, I also don't waste an afternoon waiting for the thing to end as you have already scared me off with your ludarous maximum that tops my every offer. But no, you have to wait until the seconds tick down and somehow... somehow, even as it ticks over green for me i still don't win the bidding! GAAARGH! I'll never get my squiggoth conversion sorted at this rate!

What are you trying to get mate? You never know one of us might be able to help

1998 resin model rancor kit. Trying to make a massive Brumak squiggoth. There are ready built toy versions but I really want that particular kit as its pretty big. Almost 14" tall by the descriptions online!

The only two I can find now are in the states and well above what i'm willing to pay. I don't want to have to resprt to the toy version as it will lose detail and make it harder to glue... bloody ebay!

That sucks, well I don't have one of them in stock lol but will keep my eyes peeled

Thanks dude!

I’m finally getting some were, everything is now at least primed.
The bastion, Super cannon and Flack gunz are all almost done, which just leaves the Mad boyz and the last of the Nobz. The race is on!

I cant wait until i start to feel that progress has actually been made!!! everytime i head out to the shed to do some painting a day/evening goes past and yet i appear to have achieved bugger all lol

Just ordered a Kaptin Badrukk from GW... i need to figure out how to make my flashgitz... nob bodies obviously, but what makes a good snazzgun blasta? I don't want to use regular shootas but altering kombi weapons may be okay.

Any thoughts?

altering kombi weapons seem like the easiest method to me, they are already quite cool looking, other ones to think about are the Mek weapons from the loota/burna box set again quite a cool looking weapon

I'm going down the kombi weapon altering route... its the easiest way I think. Just got to find some snazzy pirate hats for my snazzgun toting flashgitz!

Anybody got any decent wip pictures ready?

I measure up fine thanks, as for the heads, I've not seen them myself but there are plenty of images of them on line, used on the AOBR War Boss and Nobz and they look to scale. A quick web search for Ork Pirate heads will give you more of an Idea. I think they do two different sizes Ork and Goblin the goblin are 40k Boy scale ish.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
As far as Pre-Heresy and Heresy Era Campaign Weekends go we need to make a more permanent, suitable and flexible system for the Astartes players and also some rules for other races and their unit compositions (basically it seems daft that a group of Ork nobz is limited to ten when you can take up to 20 marines in an era marine unit).

With that in mind here is a list of some of my initial ideas...

- People using Forgeworld produced books can produce an army list based entirely upon this, that is what it is there for. Certain units that are not catered for can be brought into their army as allies using an expanded allies matrix that will be devised at a later date. I'm thinking of the best way to accommodate flyers etc, that I believe may not be detailed in the FW books. Also, there are a number of Primarchs and characters from the era that FW will not, and may not produce rules for in the immediate to long term course of things... the answer to that is two fold

1 - We use the Tempus Fugitives stats and points to allow players to introduce the era characters into their FW/codex derived army lists at the points and slots detailed in that expansion.

2 - We make our own... which will take some time and effort but between now and next years event I'm sure we can put our heads together and come up with some suitable stuff if everybody deems this the way to go.

- Codex Army lists... Baring in mind that the era already discounts many players who choose to play second founding and beyond armies I think that using FW and Tempus Fugitves exclusive rules is also a little off putting for some. I want as many people to be able to enjoy the era games as much as the 40k games. To combat this we can introduce additional rules for people who have the era astartes chapters but don't own or want to use FW or TF. Small changes to squad composition, doubling 10 tac marines to a maximum of 20 for example, and removing units such as the Death Company (BA) and Interrogator Chaplains (DA). Certain things may be missed and I'd leave it up to the players themselves to incorporate what they believe is era specific thus it would require honesty from the players and their opponents to be wary of certain factors. Deathwing Knights would lose 'Traitors Bane'... is that what the AP modifier is called? but could keep smite etc. This sort of flexibility will allow people who have built a force around an existing codex, such as BA codex for World Eaters, to field them and they could work appropriately, then incorporating whatever character and special units we deem fit to generate or 'borrow' from TF etc.

- Army lists for other codex forces, such as the Orks (a very current issue) would simply need to have a unit composition bump. Double the maximum number of basic infantry in each entry etc. This would then be up to the player to choose to field his max 60 boyz... but if 30 is the regular 40k size and 10 for marines, why should they not double up for the era too? Certain forces would stay as they are, Necrons and Eldar are more focused and less likely to have changed over the millennia between these eras.

- Although it is ovr a year away and we are yet to play our first era game, the scouring will be a much less specific event. I have already made the decision to allow 2nd founding Astartes to join the fray and they will be able to include their founding characters, such as Amit to lead the Fleshtearers and Sigismund the Black Templars. Whilst the primary legions will have the choice of using codex rules or betrayal/TF and Chaos can use Codex chaos for those that have strayed further or players can use their betrayal/TF or codex themed interpretations if they so wish.

Flexibility is the key. Has anybody got any major objections to the above or suggestions? Obviously by the time I put these out it will be streamlined and much less rambling, but its all about letting as many people getting involved as possible. If you choose to use FW Betrayal and your opponent is using a themed codex army (such as BA codex to represent Emperors Children) provided they aren't taking it beyond the realms of the era's fluff then we should embrace this rather than rail against it. I think the genuine differences in what people choose to field would make some of the era games more entertaining anyway, rather that then 15 armies all based on the same concept and every game you play has an opponent fielding the same base force.

Hopefully you can see where I'm coming from here. This stuff won't really make much difference to March as it won't be formalised for some time but if you are in a position where you want to use the BA codex for Emps children, (as one of our potential players is) I am quite happy, with prior notice to go with this... just bare in mind the era!

Mark, Matt, Mikeey and Nick, feel free to discuss, we're the only ones here anyway!

I am quiet happy to accept most things tbh, it would be great to get to a stage where we have Animosity packs for Imperial army,squats, genestealer cults - It would be great to be able to reflect those units and armies that GW has left to the side line.

with the PH stuff, it is a shame that players are put off by the idea, but using either tempus, FW or Codex to represent a legion is a common thing (look at the 1st expedition meet up thread). As long you foe knows what the heck is going on, it shouldnt be too hard.

Sooner or later TF wont be used at all I think and players seem put off by it. Take the interesting stuff from it (most imo) and have a link or copy of it. It awkward as you cant really just use the rules and ignore the people lol.

Ok summary of my rambles

1. Squats, imperial army and orks (for example) should have a list of old units (RT era) and Animosity units/formations
* Rough rider army
* squat codex - duncs?
* madboys, cyber boars etc
* Imperial army units - human bombs, beastmen, jet bikes and speeders.

2. for PH/HH allow Codexs (maybe a list of codex to legion?) . Links to a pdf of AoTE? and guidelines of FW books allowed

So basically you making it as open as possible but tailored for the experience? I hope i havet rambled in my normal dyslexic manner!

2nd founding stuff - i think is fine in the scouring, i do think it a bit of a shame, but might be needed

I think its more that pre-heresy can exclude players. For instance, Kantor, as he plays Crimson Fists, has to sit out the next event. If you already play a founding chapter it makes it easier to fold pre-heresy stuff into your hobby unless you wish to start a new army and are willing to do the necessary. I think that is where people are put off rather than it being a gaming issue.

Many folk have already abandoned TF and find Betrayal a much better rule set too. After recent experiences that shall go unmentioned, I'm happy to develop our own expansion until FW produce a comprehensive system that includes more than four chapters.

The Ork pack will hopefully be a shining example of what we can do (when its not a word document! unmentioned criticism from unwelcome and outside influences again going unmentioned... w****r!). From the basis of that pack we will produce a few others, Rough Riders as we've previously discussed and our kill team/kill zone adapted rules will take a similar format. we'll have to discuss the squat thing with the squat players maybe (and make sure they're better than and nothing like previously mentioned un-named interfering gitz version).

We can easily enough knock up a list of conversion options for the next heresy era game as a guide at the front of the pack and will not take much effort either so that is a good place to start. Codex BA to World Eaters, Codex Grey Knights to thousand sons (or - psychic powers to custodes maybe). The options here are not exhausted and neither will our list be, just a guide really.

Some of the old epic stuff that has never had rules will be cool to develop too but we can discuss the in and outs at a later date.

I'm not sure about humans bombs in the imperial force but there is no reason to discount them from any potential enemies that stand in the way of the Great Crusade... if they don't want to comply with the Imperium them maybe they're are an option unit?

so going forward is going to be guidance, stuff we think of and tweaking of current codexs?

supppose next thing be having a "place" more suitable than this rambling thread lol.

Well, its definitely something to think about but to be honest we'd need to expand our circle of contributors before we think about spreading our wings! FB is enough for now i guess.

When the ork pack is tarted up we can start to look at the potential for further packs properly as it'll give everybody a good idea of what we're aiming for... Hopefully we'll be twin linked autocannon on a venerabledread rather than orky shoota discarded in favour of a big choppa! In other words, we'll hit the target!

Well all of this sounds perfect to me. A lot of stuff will need to be worked out but nothing insurmountable lol.
But as you say I think this will massively open up the events tomore people and keep things out of other peoples hands

The issues that were starting to appear in a totally biased forum were not worth the effort.
As to building an animosity set of rules/add on packs etc, i am not 100% sure what the best way to do it would be, possibly setting up a small website or private forum for discussions and rule building while still using Dakka for an actual forum and way to get more players if that makes sense?

I am at the Waagh 2013 meet at Warhammer World this Saturday and will ask around to see if anybody is interested(could be worth appearing as this will have a few lads who know people who cant go to WW because of there new polices on what is allowed to be used to game).

The man with the Squats is Graham Sanders who has been building a Squat Codex for a few years now, i have seen his scratch built Moles and Blimps and know that he had rules for some of the bigger stuff that could be found in the old Epic system.

I'll talk to Graham in March and see if we can sort something out for that in future events as hes using imp guard counts as on that weekend.

And please everyone come and check out the forum, as scott said we are still building it so dont judge it too harshly but please come and start making posts and filling up the threads, hopefully if we all start posting we can use it to get more members who we can then hopefully inspire to attend the events

Hey dudes. Little over a month left...

Good news, I've made some progress with my Orks.

Bad news, we've lost NukeArts for this event as their studio is shutting for re-training and refurb or something or somesuch, so I'll have to wing it with the painting comp prize. It is only temporary I'm assured so they'll be back on board for Typhus for the ZomAid thing.

Anyway, here's some pics.

Nice one Scott, the WAAAAAAR is building.
I'll have a few more update photo's myself tomorrow.

I'll be working on the Rokkit Hogs tomorrow... then a few days away i'm afraid (costing me more time) then hopefully the flashgitz and the Kaptin next week!

Trying to figure out how to scratch a decent flakk gun too, but currently wondering if I even have time, though I do have some bits!

Captain Dimitar leant forward to gaze upon the incredible sight before him, and he felt himself rising up from his chair to walk the few metres to the main view port. He heard gasps of awe from his officers as he pressed his hands to the glass and moved his head slowly from left to right in an effort to take in the impossible vastness of the hulk. It was enormous.

They were quiet for a few moments as they attempted to comprehend the enormity of their discovery. It was Lieutenant Churian who broke the awestruck silence.

“It’s… it’s huge,” was all he could manage. Ivanko Churian was not known for his acuity.

Captain Dimitar turned and a smile slowly crept across his craggy face. “Indeed it is, lieutenant,” he said, his voice rough from decades of barking orders. He grinned at Churian, revealing a mouth full of metal teeth, and his eyes shone as he continued.

“And now it’s ours.”



Check out the progress of the dread hulk here.

Only the bravest veterans need enter. Many will die with the glorious name of the Emperor upon their lips...

Pic’s as promised, the WAAAAAARGH continues to grow.

Holy baby Jebus! The primork is a beast! Damn ork scratch building from bits of everything, if only he imperium had less red tape and health and safety laws maybe we could have cool kit like this. Damn administratum.

Thats looks awesome Nick... can't wait to see him crush some pink marine types! Ha ha!

Mikeey! Can you post my rokkit hog pic if you get a chance mate... I've deleted my pic by mistake!

Nevermind mikeey, here they are!


Rokkit Hogs!

Well you beat me to it. Those rock kit hogs look ace bud. Bloody hell seeing all these orkses is getting me twitching!

Ill endorse that statement!

Heads up gentlemen! The super massive apocalypse weekend will take place on the 14th and 14th of December, which coincides nicely with our first event anniversary!

Its a whole weekend as discussed previously and will be as large as we can make it! I'll add more details and update our other media when I get a chance later this evening!

YES! You're the man.
Now the planning, what to take and how will I pay for the new stuff I'll "NEED" to get.

That Primork's looking cool, man! He's gonna attract a lot of fire...

SO major event for December then! Just the excuse i need for using the rest on my WE and Nids for a day out!

Just to remind ya Scott I wont be able to attend sunday :( How is the WIP pics coming along?

Should be able to provide a really good update this weekend dude! Slow progress though but if this weekend is fruitful I'll be able to show, and with James's help, get a final draft of the pack together!

The First Expedition chaps are getting together this weekend... unfortunately I can't get to WHW and convince them that they just join us at the end of the month, but if anybody can it would be great to see some other dedicated pre-heresy era players join us for out Ullanor Crusade!

Here is a link to their forum, http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_First_Expedition/index.php?act=idx

well you orky folks - might be worth checking out spellcrow minatures!

Moving away from the filthy orkses for a moment, here's a thread I started regarding a certain space hulk that may or may not be coming to a gaming table (or is that several tables?) near you soon...

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/511066.page

I'll be adding little snippets - micro stories, if you will - over the coming weeks.

Scotty, I watched the pirate ork thing and nearly wetmyself! Space hulk should be pretty damn good, excited to hopefully play on it!
And an update on fulgrim- he's done.

Sar Mikael - I don't think his sword is big enough...

I totally agree! Think he's got an inferiority complex!

Now, do you count that as a big choppa or power sword?

Any other Primarchs on the way to Ullanor? I am in the process of determining how to build my Primork... I have the basis of an idea but don't know whether its a realistic prospect with the other factors involved in making sure I have a useable force!

Second micro-installment of the fledgling tales of the Harbinger:

Dude, those thunder crows look awesome, I'm tempted to get some in the future now. What you running them as? Crows/harpy?

Harpies atm - however TF rules are down, so might have to run them as small average strike fighters (as it in the betrayal book)

Can anybody pass me the rules?

No stormboys :S - i never gave that a thought....

I don't have enough time to make and paint them when my other projects are taken into account. I'm hoping the other Ork players make up for my slack considering its an all in game!

lol np - just finished my FW predator tonight, tomorrow the start of Land raider 1!

scott i can sort you out the rules for the flakk truck no worries, will try and send them over tonight,
my blitz army is all nicely ready now just need to sort out a base for the fw bomber,

Nice one, thank you.

The Orky pack is coming along well. A few days and it should be completed. We're still waiting on Nic to provide the remaining pieces of artwork for the Campaign Pack though but soon, I hope.

Stupid question but dont you need a man(or Ork) to man the quad gun on the bastion or are they automatic?

Are the primorks and Primarchs lord of war... Ie just used in larger apolo games?

Dunc I think vechiles can man them too. Something down to badly written english in the rules

That's a bit daft(but what i would expect from GW) thought i was going to have to take a 10 man grot squad to man my gun.

Yeha I agree with you mate - bring the grots!

actually i think it has rules that the gun works by itself but if you put a squad in to man it you use the increased BS of the squad

Primarchs and Primorks are Lords of War but there is no need to restrict anything for the Apocalypse game. If you choose to use them in the smaller games I guess its a matter of choice. Primarchs that can fly are free to join the Blitzkrieg as part of the missions 50% wings/jump pack sort of thingy! If there are any coming that is!

so who now is going to FW closed day?

April 7th... don't know my shifts, but if its free and i'm off I can see myself going.

IT now £7.50 - so unless the limited model is worth it, I wont attend.

£7.50?

I have got a copy of the Tempus fugitives rules for anyone that needs them!

aha... they back up or sourced elsewhere?

One the other members emailed it to me

Save on face book atm and my pc

sorry scott i forgot to send the flakka truck rules over last night, will try to remember tonight!
Evans remind me please

Thats okay mate... whenever you can. Thank you.

I think I am off on the 7th of April, so here is what I''m thinking. We can go to Forgeworld open Day and them have our first Animosity committee meeting in Bugmans afterwards! Any thoughts on this? I think its an inspired idea!

sounds good to me, i like food and forgeworld models so its a good mix

Bugmans Belly Busters all round? They're tasty good!

Lol - I be there then

I'm going to post the "tickets bought" attendance list in our forum.

sounds good, really looking forward to the game just have so much left to sort out, shame there is no way i will have enough for the apoc game

Well all I'm saying is thank god for allies!

@ Matt - well you do own lots of turncoats!

Since my WE aint going to be there maybe the scrum just decided to sod it and go green lol

@Matt... don't worry about being shy, at the moment since Mark can only attend Saturday you will (if the situation remains the same) be playing in the smaller games ve the voxnet chaps who will be using a combination of my fisters and WE!

Unless anybody else is struggling for apoc game or we get more players then it could be anybody!

@Mark... Can you go to the first expedition pages and change the heading for our thread there to include the dates please Mark? It may give people a nudge towards attending.

+ Thats me and chilledmonkey booked for FW open day!

Old Skool LR that required some love!

Needs an name - (hoping to find one in collection visions)

use it at Ullanor, see how it comes on and christen it for something it achieves?

Ah Scott - All these beautries are going to cleanse the Ullanor of the dirty Xeno scrum

Skulls for the emperor!

If there are any there to cleanse!

Its about time I had myself a decent rant as the build up for Ullanor has been quite sedate so far. Maybe that is the problem, maybe that is why people are not buying their tickets... WAAAAAAGH! Maybe they need a good kick up the backside! Pff, whats the point, eh? The only people who are reading our thread are coming and HAVE bought their tickets... its so depressing sometimes!

This organising stuff is harder than it seems.

Most people i have spoke to have either said that they are away because of the bank holiday or are going to the uk gt the weekend before and dont want(not aloud to by her in doors) play 2 weekends in a row.

Might have a potential but will have to wait and see if he is or not.

UK GT, these are the sort of thing that we could do without the weekend before our events...

On a positive note though, July seems to be a more popular event already!

Ah we will live and learn

Alright all?

If it's any help to the promotion ect of the events I am sure me and Matt could knock up some basic flyers (the paper kind) and i will put one in every uk order i send out.
While we are talking the hundreds and not hundreds of thousands each month it all helps and anything I can do to chip in, I will do.

On the playing front, Er indoors works saturday and sunday shifts and i have 2 little uns that i am pretty sure it is seen as bad parenting to leave alone for the day while i play Wargames.
If I can convince her to book a weekend off for something other than the mother in law visiting I'll be at an event soon!

hello gareth, remember to come and join the animosity board (the links in llamafish signature)

Hi all,

Duncs and I met up to play on Saturday, so we chose game two of the Ullanor campaign to try out. I used my Squat Guard (using the standard IG codex) and Duncs used Orks. We had fun, and made a few notes along the way. Here goes!

- We assumed that the Imperial player should go first? Or have the choice to go first, should he wish.

- We thought that allowing the Imperial player to choose whether Nightfighting applied at the start if the game would help mitigate the big advantage the Orks had with Interceptor and Skyfire.

- We weren't sure if Flyers could be part of the Imperial force's starting 50% of units.

- To mitigate the Orks' advantage for starting 'dug in' up to halfway across the table, we thought the Imperials might be allowed to assault on the turn they arrived from reserve/deepstrike.

- We rolled Warlord Traits from the regular table, however we found that they were either useless in this mission, or rather unbalancing. We wondered whether a short set of mission-specific Warlord Traits may balance things up? Or not use them at all.

Anyway, we had a great game, with Duncs' 18 Lootas chewing through my Manticore, Chimeras and Hellhounds as they rolled on. I managed to blow up two of his Battlewagons and one unit of three Grot Big Guns and wipe out a proportion of his Boyz, but in a reversal of the normal order of things, Duncs' Ork gunline just had too much firepower for the assaulting Squat Guard!

Ey up Grazer,

I've taken some notes from your feedback and have decided upon the following.

- Warlords traits for this game, and also the Blitzkrieg mission, have been dropped and the next and final amendment of the campaign pack will reflect this, as well as night-fighting becoming a player choice.

- Imperial/attacking units indeed go first and this has been made specific in the pack also, though it has not been updated online yet.

- Imperial can assault in the turn they arrive at any point during the mission, I will check to see if the wording needs to be adjusted to reflect this.

- I think flyers can arrive as the player chooses, either in initial 50% or from reserve this game, unlike standard games in which they arrive from reserve by default.

Hope it was still a good, fun game to be part of though as that is the aim. This mission is supposed to bridge a gap between standard games and planetstrike but I didn't want to force players to own or play planetstrike as it can be a pain in the butt, and invariably always won by the attackers (in my experience at least)

All i can say from this was grot big guns(Kannons i had 9 in total!!) were awesome, for 60 odd points you get 3 strength 8 shots with Interceptor and skyfire on the first turn. The only thing i might change is to drop the battlewagons for flash gitz for some extra strength 7 shots. Ha take that Squat gun line.

Graham also learnt that bringing on his 40 man squat unit near a mob of Orks is not a recipe for success.

The ever changing Animosity barometer that is me has decided 'sod 'em, they're missing out, that's not my problem!'

good glad you have stopped worrying finally lol

ANIMOSITY - ORKS is now available to download after a seriously good rework by our chilledmonkeybrains!

Rules etc have not been adjusted, and it looks much better. As ever it can be found in the first post, here, and now on our exclusive Animosity forum which can be accessed via the signiature box below!

Very cool its a shame i wont be able to fit every thing i would like to take in.

Fantastic job, on the ork pack it looks fab!

Duncs wrote:Very cool its a shame i wont be able to fit every thing i would like to take in.

It looks like we may replay the campaign in next years schedule Dunc so there may still be opportunities! Also, everything is available to use at all our events, other than the Primork!

bignickex wrote:Fantastic job, on the ork pack it looks fab!

Aye, James has done a grand job there...

Cheers for da props Duncs, Bignickex and Geordie - glad you like da ork pack! Would have liked to tweak it a bit more, but conscious that we're pretty close to the Ullanor Crusade... Can't keep da emprah waitin'!

I'm trying to spread the word a bit on some other forums (who shall remain unnamed, as they are considered by many to be 'the enemy'...) and am trying to drum up interest for a certain Harbinger via the medium of fluff. I've added a fair bit and will continue to do so on a daily basis (hopefully!) since they're only 200 word snippets. Here are da links for those who are interested:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/511066.page

I've got some more updates on the way for the dread hulk (deck plating and corridors).

Peace!

Heads up chaps! Don't go to tempus fugitves its been hacked!

If anyone need the Tempus rules for the up coming event please contact me.

Justs a fortnight left chaps! I know I'm not the only one struggling to paint as much as is needed...

i just got my spartan, back packs and bases to do, then I should be fine. I might even get Anger Ron on the field too

i have left to paint:-
6 killa kans
2 deff dreads
1 mekka dread (started it last night)
lifta droppa
big track
bitss and peices on one of my planes and a brass rod base for it
possibly a truck as well.
and then finishing off the bases for my troops.

somehow i think i might fail at getting all this done

Flashgitz,
Badrukk,
2 buggies,
Looted skorcha tank,
46 grots,
4 runtherders,
10 Ogryns,
1 Boss Og,
Ork Bastion,

Brumak Gargantuan Squiggoth!

I think there may be some black miniatures in my Waaagh!

New Ork rumours from BoLs...

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/03/40k-rumors-orks-unit-upgrades.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I particularly like this bit...

Stormboyz - Gain a "Rocket boost" attack that can target flyers. They must move 18” and if they pass a flyer they each get 2 attacks on it as if assaulting a vehicle. Move as infantry during their next turn. Looks like the designers played a lot of THQ's Space Marine!

What an interesting idea...

lol yeah i am going to try and get a basic set of colours down on as much as possible but i suspect a few things will still be unfinished to a certain level,

Forgot to add Urrlak Urruk... But that depends on whether the bits turn up in time!

Just a quick question regarding game 3 - is the intention to play a randomly-determined book mission? Thanks!

I'm on a few days' hols, so just finalising my army lists. I have 6 Leman Russes to detail-paint; so far they have had their two-tone camouflage airbrushed on, so now I need to do tracks, rivets & unit markings.

I'm hoping that I may get to finish off my scratchbuilt Overlord Airship (counting as a Marauder Bomber) but it's still just so much cardboard at the moment...

Graham.

Yeah, standard rule-book missions for G3!

Thanks for that!

And how about in the games where there is no mandatory requirement for Troops choices, can other units claim objectives? eg, game 2 - which other units, if any, can claim the Ork fortifications?

Cheers,

Graham S.

Vehicle can only contest, anybody else can claim!

Thanks, I've just about sorted my lists now. Apart from finishing off six Leman Russes, I'm just about ready!

Only six eh? Ha, i wish I only had six tanks left to paint...

So much left to do I decided to build a flakka trukk from my bitz box... Which will be added to the list of unachieved targets for Ullanor! Don't think I'll be fielding a primork at this rate either as none of those bits have turned up yet!

I really need to get back to painting!

BTW how do infiltrators work for game 2? like normal?

I'm away from the files... remind me, do the Imps move on in first turn? This means no infiltrators... we could allow them to outflank though instead. I'm pretty sure its imps move on in their first turn.

ANIMOSITY - In the Prorogue Recess! ITS A GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS DAY!


Bad News - Ullanor is DELAYED We have decided that due to unforeseen circumstances it is necessary to delay the narrative campaign based upon The Ullanor Crusade until November the 9th and 10th 2013. I must apologise to the chaps who have been putting so much effort into their army lists for the event and their painting and modelling projects that have been affected in tthe build up to the campaign weekend.

Good News - Ullanor is RESCHEDULED November will see ANIMOSITY - The Ullanor Crusade take place in the sheduled slot for The Heart of the Harbinger, which now slips back to 2014's schedule. The games and the pack created for Ullanor will not change and we anticipate that this delay will actually benefit our first pre-heresy outing by allowing players who have been forced to miss it due to circumstances, to attend. Our return to Ullanor will be stronger for this delay.

More Good News - Animosity is STILL ON next weekend. The dates March 30th and 31st will now be open to all gamers to bring their Warhammer 40k armies of any race etc. It is short notice but hopefully the changes will aid one or two people who could not attend due to the nature of Ullanor to attend Animosity - In the Veiled Region

Game details and point limits will be added over the next day or two to ensure sufficient time for players to organise their forces.

I think I'll be bringing daemons if my new codex turns up in time!

I can only apologise to the chaps who've bought their tickets for Ullanor. They're still the same tickets you'll need for the Veiled Region next weekend!

If you're out there watching our thread and would have attended but for the era of Ullanor, though it is short notice we'd still like to see you there!

Tickets are still available, just buy an Ullanor ticket of either type for March and that will count for next weekends event!

Thanks Dudes

Well guess i got more time to make a bigger legion!

Angron...

Animosity - In the Veiled Region, March 30th and 31st

Here are the rules for next weekend revisited!

- Game 1 Blitzkrieg-

The Blitzkrieg Mission is a mass participation game and a turn limit is in place, the game will last 8 turns. The force organisation chart below will detail the composition of the 1000 points for each race. Appropriate Codex's, FW Betrayal and Tempus Fugitives AotE Expansion + Mechanicum rules, 6th Edition 40k rules are in use during this game.

Blitzkrieg Force Organisation

1000 pts - A 50% Minimum of each force must be designated as a flyer, skimmer, jet bike, jump infantry, wings or jet pack infantry. This is a Minimum. If a player wishes he may field 1000 pts worth of units with these designations.

Imperial Forces

Any points not allocated towards the above selection system may be used to select Fast Attack and Elite options without limitation. HQ, Troop and Heavy options are limited to ONE per force org.

Non Imperial Forces

Any points not allocated towards the above selection system may be used to select Troop, Elite, Fast Attack and Heavy Support options without limitation. Non Imperial formations must include at least one fortification or emplacement. (Not for Tyranids)

VECTOR ASSAULT

During the Blitzkrieg mission, units designated within the Jump Infantry, Jet Pack Infantry category or with Wings (certain Primarchs maybe!!), may carry out a Vector Assault upon an opponent’s flyers or skimmers. If a player moves a unit over an opponent’s flyer or skimmer during the movement phase he may choose to carry out a Vector Assault. To complete a Vector Assault roll a D6 for each member of the attacking unit. On a 6 that warrior has managed to successfully cling to the enemy’s aircraft and may make D3+1 attacks upon the vehicle, or alternatively 1 grenade attack. Unlike the Vector Strike these attacks may be augmented by the individual’s weapon choices and assault bonuses. Assaulting a vehicle in such circumstances is not without its dangers. When rolling to complete the Vector Assault any unit member that rolls a 1 suffers a wound immediately with no saves allowed. Should this wound result in the hapless attackers death then the vehicle must take a dangerous terrain test. This represents the possibility of the failed attacker’s corpse being sucked into an engine intake or smashing through the cockpit at high velocity. Units who undertake a Vector Assault may not shoot in the shooting phase but may carry out an assault in their ensuing assault phase suffering a -1 attack penalty and a loss to any assault bonuses if they were used in the Vector Assault. In addition, members of the unit who successfully carried out a Vector Assault upon the opponent must be placed at the rear of the squad and may not be included in the assault this phase as their actions have left them too far behind their unit to assist. The defending flyer/skimmer unit may attempt to evade the Vector Assault. The Jink is carried out prior to the roll to determine the number of attacks the offensive player may take. A Vector Assault on a unit in Hover is successful on a 4+ as opposed to a 6.

-Games 2 to 6-

The force organisation chart in the Warhammer 40,000 rule book will detail the composition of the 2000 points for each race. Appropriate Codex's, FW Betrayal and Tempus Fugitives AotE Expansion + Mechanicum Rules, 6th Edition 40k Rules are in use during these games.

-Bar Room Brawl!-

If we have time on the Saturday evening we will adjourn to the bar, using adapted rules from The Crusade of Fire expansion book we will hold a little arena tournament. The rules are, single miniatures (including upgrades - no unique named characters/vehicles) up to 150 points. Players may enter up to three different gladiators to enter the arena and from any race, not necessarily the ones they are representing over the weekends other games. Further rules will be explained in the bar! These will be adapted rules... not entirely CoF stuff. There will be a prize for the winner of the Brawl!


Points to note - Due to the revised nature of the weekends activities, if you can not field a Blitzkrieg force do not worry... there is flexibility in the weekends schedule of gaming and if you can not field Blitzkrieg force org then you will be able to play a further standard game in its place with somebody else!

I

I'm currently in discussion with aerion-the-faithful again. 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 maintain unique Campaign Packs 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 images there will be TWO full colour and four black and white images. 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? PM me.

Black and White canvases are now confirmed at 10" x 7" and the initial confusion in scale has been rectified for the ongoing commissions.

Colour Canvases are 10" x 7" as well.

If you are interested in owning the original print, you can have a say in what it contains, to a point. The July campaign pack will contain many more 40k races and themes than our previous Ullanor pack. 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 hiring his services and creating a great campaign pack.

Our front cover has been determined, it will feature a Space Marine versus the Zombie Horde! What chapter is still currently up for grabs and available for whoever chooses to secure the commission slot! 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 worth bearing in mind that aerion needs details asap, 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 I will dictate the subject matter and hope for the best at raffle!

Its all gone a little quiet here... Hopefully everybody is still enthused about the upcoming weekend. The new narrative I've developed should keep our existing pre-heresy players on their toes as well as allowing the other races to participate fully!

Don't worry fella I'm well up for it!
can you just conferm that we only need to bring a 1K Blitz force for the first game and a standard 2K army to play the other 5 games?

Nick that's the score! Don't forget, if time permits we can play an evening tournament gladiator arens thing too. Also, the competitions, though not now for Ullanor, are still a go so painting and converting competitions can still be won!

If you want to enter Ullanor specific stuff then feel free to enter them, its just a case of not entering them at ullanor in november is my concern with that!

As a brief aside to the preparations for the impending assault this weekend, I've cobbled together a signature banner for A N I M O S I T Y that links to the forum. If anyone wants to use it, copy the following HTML code into the signature box on your profile:

And if anyone is feeling especially nice, here's the code to include the D R E A D H U L K banner link as well:

well hopefully the banner will appear below,
Scott stop worrying we are all still excited just frantically trying to get stuff finished lol.

Banner done, just 9 boyz and 3 Nobz to paint and it's all good. Looking forward to throwing some dice at the weekend. Oh and the odd beer as well!

Hey dudes.

Despite the rescheduling, I figured I'd unveil Animosity - The Ullanor Crusade Campaign Pack (that will be presented to players upon their arrival in November) now. Hopefully it will help to keep the eager anticipation up for our first pre-heresy event. November the 9th and 10th are dates for your diary... especially those Orks out there!

And here is another gander at Animosity - Orks, our Expansion kit for the greenskins... and their GARGANTS!

Both of these can be found in our forum, linked in the sig box below... or in the opening post of this humongous thread!

Right - only got 10 back packs and basing to do (oh and some highlighting on the terminators - Matt what did you do before!)

Is anyone staying in Mansfield? Thinking I should make an extra character or two for the bar room fight!

Tactical squad and havoc squad left for me! Starting to hate pink and gold. Damn it.

I'll defo be hanging around... won't be staying there once the evening is done though.

trying to think what i want to take for the bar room brawl,

Lists complete, I’ll also be in for the “bar room brawl” scrappy Ork Warboss’s all round for me.
Well, here we are then sticking with the Ork theme;

Roll on the weekend!

I'm brawling with...

CSM khorne lord
SM imperial fists captain

Choice 3 is still to be confirmed!

Ah Nick - your list is scaring me atm lol!

I'm sure there was a comment somewhere, maybe a few months back, about the lack of green tides... I think 20 man boyz units dispels that!

Yeah it making me wonder if I need to relook at my lists

I know some one *cough Matt Cough* running a killa kanz list so kinda geared up for that !

Variety is the spice of life... and you never know what your going to come up against!

well my list was worked around the easiest way to build a 2k ork army with the smallest number of models,

my blitz list is (roughly i am at work so just of top of my head)

Dakkajet with extra SS fighta ace
2X Burna bomma with all the extra rockets
20 stormboys with nob-PK
Flakka truck


my 2k list

Mekka dread with shunta and KFF
12 spanna boyz in truck
CC Deff dread
CC deff dread
3 killa kans- grotzooka, burna, missle
3 killa kans- grotzooka burna shoota
lifta wagon
big trak with flakka gun
mega dread

allies
wazdakka
9 bikers
dakka jet extra SS fighta ace


Thats probably about right with some small changes based on making the points add up,

Waaarrrgh! nice to see IA8 getting a run out. It also looks like the Okrs will be well represented. Cool!

Mmmmm lots of Land Raiders might not been the best plan lol!

3k games instead

Looking forward to "test" palnning my WE again! Might try to make my 2nd list alot different to experiment with lists!

Would like to add some allies for Nov (Minotaur oryns and beastment at least )

Not sure that beastmen is entirely in fitting with the Imperiums anti-mutant policies... Rough Riders however!!!

I am hoping November will see at least one Luna Wolves player turn up so we can have Horus represented! You could always do Luna Wolves allis to fill the Horus sized hole in my Ullanor Crusade plans...


IMPORTANT NEWS FOR THE WEEKEND...

We have some guests returning for those who are yet to experience an Animosity Weekend!

Thanks for the pick llamafish,

Oh bollocks those little fethers better stay away from my walker army!

beastmen can work for post heresy perfectly,

and scott you will be pleased to know i have ordered my first 5 rough riders,

The Boys with the silly jetpacks are here!



I going to have to find an Ewok picture everytime the little sods are mentioned right?

Morning guys!

What time are things starting on Saturday morning?

I'll post my two lists later today; my 2000pt list is a Squat Guard (counting as IG) light tank company* with Chimeras and of course the airships/Vendettas!

G.

PS -I'll try and bring the work-in-progress Squat Fandex for you too!

If you can get there for 9 Graham that would be great. We'll be trying to kick off between 930 and 10 and hopefully no delays.

Llamafish, your world eaters are looking good. I'll get posting my emp c soon, just finished my tactical squad about 10 minutes ago. Just 5 havoks now and the late arrival jump packs for my ass squad! Then, Erm start making army lists! Ooh Er.

Thanks Sar! I got to give Matt/Vaksrebel a big thanks for getting me going on the scheme/method! I hate painting but doing this army for the event really has changed that a little

Had a practise game with my Squat Guard last night, and managed to comprehensively beat off a Tzeentch Chaos incursion. Very happy! In fact, it was the Squat's very first victory, and only my third win of 6th edition. So let's hope that bodes well for the Imperial forces in the Veiled Region this weekend!

Here's hoping... Though Kharn may have a thing or two to say about that at some point!

Graham just remember the WE dont accept defeat well!

Looking forward to it! Today will be mostly basing for me and matt - granted we going to the pub for lunch first...

Tables are set... Almost all prep complete, not as many tables nor prep necessary as I'd hoped but hey-ho, let's give it a go!

Roll on the veiled region tomorrow!

Trevor the based coated - will nail you all in the bar room brawl!

not everything painted, lists made and bags packed, three dudes for the bar room brawl chosen and a very tired person now! ace 5 hours of kip here we go!

The emperor will be proud of his children! Death to the xeno!

Excellent day again Scott! Thanks for the great gaming & cant wait till Nov for the World Eaters to rattle out again and draw more blood!

Thanks dude. Always makes the pre-event stress worth it to know that its been good! Hopefully for those remaining it will be another good day tomorrow as well.

Have a good day, wish your mam a happy birthday from animosity mate!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, I'm gutted to have had to pull out at the last min. I'm looking forward to seeing some pic's.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to all the guys for making me feel so welcome to the group this weekend! I had a great time, really enjoyed my games and met some top lads too.

I'll hopefully see you all later in the year at the next events, and possibly at Warhammer World if you fancy a game there sometime too.

Graham S.

Thanks Graham.

The photos are on the facebook page now in our Veiled Region album.

For a replacement exo armour squats!

Graham dont miss this!

Now then, I don't think those squats need any extra armour! They have by far enough as it is. Next time ill get those pesky wee folk!

Ahh - currently I am reading the Graham Squat codex

In the meantime here are a few pics...

I just like to say - We havent yet experienced any xeno during our time in the legion, Kharn is saying it some kinda error by the emperors scribes during the photo shots..... from the WE Auxiliary imperial army spokesman..

Matts Dread list was great looking and (i hate to say this) great to play against!

thanks mate, to be honest i found the dread list to be loads of fun to play with and just quite entertaining.
really couldnt see why people complain about the list it didnt seem to be over powered at all

Those 'definitely-not-Squats-in-Exo-Armour' from Hasslefree Miniatures are gorgeous! I'll definitely be investing in some when they get released.

I may consider using them, alongside some Mantic Forgefathers, as counts-as Space Marine allies for my Squats.

@grazerGS - would you be interested in putting the homebrew stuff out as part of the Animosity expansion stuff dude? You can see an example of chilledmonkeybrains exceptional work in this field with our Ork pack and obviously the Ullanor campaign pack!

I've been thinking we could couple it to have a section for those squats that aint so nice to! I mentioned on the forum about trollslayers/berzerkers to join my khorne armies! Gives me an excuse to get some without having to invest in fantasy battle at this moment!

Also, was thinking in a counts as guard force that the armoured varients could be power armoured techy chaps as they can squad up!

Hi Scott,

That sounds great - it would be good to get some use out of my Squat Fandex, as it has been a purely theoretical writing exercise so far.

I'll work on it through April (I have a couple of work-trips away, so I'll put those evenings in the hotel to good use) and then send you the first draft. The points costs for units will be complete guesswork, but that's something we can work on.

As for Chaos Squats, I do have a few units in mind for them too - including a unique HQ character - so I'll try and include them in the first draft too!

G.

There's no rush dude, but it would definitely be something we'd like to incorporate into our slowing expanding expansions for Animosity stuff.

awesome weekend gone peeps! great games. looking forward to the next event!

any news of the next event

Animosity - In the Maunsfeld Hegemony is coming in July.

The skirmish team/kill team rules are ready and awaiting some computer jiggery pokery to make them pretty, and the final decision on game totals and the campaign pack will be completed soon hopefully.

There will be an announcement on tickets etc later this week...

Breaking news... Maunsfeld gaming has closed. We'll be playing Julys event at a different venue. Details will be announced asap but nothing else will change!

Have confidence, we have prepared for this eventuality and it should not affect us detrimentally!

That's dog egg.

Bugger there goes another independent, they’ve really had a hard time. Sounds like you have a plan though.

Hey I heard the new about Mansfield, sorry about that, it's real crappy luck, might I suggest Table Top? it's where us and Tempus hold our events now, i'm sure it could work for Animosity too.

Not really, I have to travel from Newcastle. The whole reason that Animosity was even established was because I (and others) don't want to travel to London.

It was just an idea as I don't know where else that is big that you can go apart from Warhammer World and I think they charge now? Which was why Stuart moved.

Megabus is always good for cheap and easy travel though if needs must

We've sourced a decent venue since this morning so we're on track.

I know that personally ttn's wayland overlord puts me off on top of the distance to travel.
Luckily we have a plan and hopefully will be making announcements of a new venue in the next week

Well all the best to you

For Nov would it be bad to take WE and squats.... Scott you still going for the FW jetbikes?

FW = FB

It wouldn't be bad at all. I'd say if anything it would make teaming up with Graham for doubles relatively simple!

"""""""Animosity - In the Hive of the Dead"""""""""""

We've renamed the event, just so everyone is aware, for July!

Out of interest whats the new venue? Was just about to suggest the north west gaming centre in stockport

Don't know where you've got in mind but I just typed in gaming venues uk and found these 2 in Leeds, obviously they're other clubs but may worth an ask
[ Club ] Leeds Night Owls
[ Location ] Farsely Conservative Club
[ Website ] http://www.leeds-nightowls.co.uk
[ Days & Time ] Sunday 10.30am - 3pm

[ Club ] Headingley Games Club
[ Location ] HEART Centre
[ Website ] http://headingleygamesclub.com/
[ Days & Time ] Thursday 6.30pm - Late

Also I've heard of a club in Wakefield ( Wakefield warriors I think) again these are established clubs with their own events and such but with the requirement for a venue is also the need for scenery too and these guys have it.

Unless one of us has won the lottery ..................

Well my little help/ hinderance there.

Leeds would be lovely for me Mikey, thank you... But it would hinder some of our other loyal attendees including yourself.

Currently we're looking at another venue in Mansfield Woodhouse which seems promising. I don't want to say too much just yet as were still testing the water!

We'll be in a position to comment further in a day or two!

If you have a venue you might suggest - please can you post in on the Anomosity forum, it make reviewing them more effective - just click on the banner

Cool beans my bad admin!

Right then chaps. I can confirm that we will be playing the July Animosity campaign weekend, Animosity - In the Hive of the Dead... at Dreamlike Gaming in Mansfield Woodhouse!

Details for tickets will be released soon and the wip campaign pack will be ready in the next fortnight as well.

The store on site can save us 20% on retail of a number of gaming manufacturers and we also have the added bonus of being able to pre-order a week before and collect on the campaign days!

I'll put more relevant info out when the time is right.

YES!! Good news mate

It certainly is good news! Now all we need to do is spread the word!

And paint a lot of zombies...

and a lot of Eldar,

mm, it seems there will be a lot of pointy ears there this time round! Will be reflected in my pre-campaign blurp which I'm writing tonight... after the Benfica game! I apologise in advance if the campaign seems to be anti-portugese, i'm easily influenced by my emotions!

If there is an unadulterated love of all thing black and white within the opening paragraphs... you know it went well!

So Scott, Death Guard or Orks which would you prefer for the blurb?

As long as they're in black and white stripes, I don't think he really cares...

The bloated and pestilent Hive of Portugalia sat swollen and putrid on the Eurasian peninsula. It sat there like a ripe boil, fit to burst, its rusted red peaks topped with bilious polluted snow. The heart of Portugalia was dominated by the festering Benifica, and despite their galant efforts, the Novacastrian IXth Regiment could not breach their defences often enough to gain a foothold for their next assault on Eurasia...

In short, we're out of Europe.

If you don't mind Nick, definitely Death Guard! (The orks will rest until Ullanor!)

Death Guard it is then, it gives me the perfect excuse to get some more re-enforcements for them. Oooh shiny new toys!

thats my first draft idea for a 2k eldar list what do you guys think

Needs more wraith...

well i suppose i could swap out the warp hunter for another wraithlord,
also as its over 2k i guess we can run 2 force allocation charts so i can get 6 wraithlords if you really want scott

er, no thank you. One is often enough to ruin my mood as things stand!

Would it make you any happier to know that I'm planning to run with 60 Plague zombies in my 2k list which therefore would be available for use in the kill team game? I just need to assemble and paint them now.

It would but you'll be using them when the hive of the dead games are on during your own games! A few donated zombie will suffice to keep the zombaid collection going though!

Right chaps...

Campaign Pack is well in progress and I can reveal we will be playing with...

Up to 4 games with 1500 point armies.

One Heavy Assault 3k game, allowing for a single Lord of war/super Heavy/gargantuan unit.
Players unable to formulate 3k will be teamed up with faction colleagues to create a 3k list from their 1500 point forces.

Hive of the Dead rules will be announced shortly!

Hay Nick, you may get some takers on our dedicated forum? I'll be in Newcastle though, throwing bottles at coppers and genuinely making a nuisance of myself 'cos that's what toon fans do' apparently!
