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!

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!

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:

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

Peace!

6 killa kans
2 deff dreads
1 mekka dread (started it last night)
lifta droppa

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'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!

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.
