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

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

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

Suits me I can do the same

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

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

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

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

Single Miniature
Large Miniature/Monster/Vehicle
Squad/Regiment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Want to play some Dreadball next week Nick?

Yeah sure, not had a game for a while.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi all!

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

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

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

Looking forward to coming down!

Hi,

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

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

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

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

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