OK, I've got the day off, should also be there 10-11. Do we have a preferred points value so that I can write a couple of lists before the day?

Say 1500 or 1000 points lists?

**Buttery Commissar**

For speed those seem the best options.

**sunnyday**

sounds good

There is a (free entry) event on the 25th of March:

In countless battles in the 41st Millennium, Commanders are forced to make the hard decision to lay down the lives of thousands, if not millions of their troops in order to achieve their aims. Many wars have gone on for countless years and the only objective is the total destruction of enemy forces. In such wars, waves and waves of troops will be sent in to fight, with little support or hope of survival, simply to wear down the enemy’s fighting spirit and ammunition stores.

In this free event, re-live these horrendous wars as you deploy wave after wave of troops against the enemy in the hope of breaking them. Have you got what it takes to send your warriors into the War of Attrition and survive the Meatgrinder?

Got a ticket. Might dust off the ladz for this...

Won't win a game, but will be a lot of fun!

**Jadenim**

Oooo, those are some nice looking clankers!

**JamesY**

Cheers mate. They do look good on the table, although sadly I don't think I could ever bring myself to paint another one.

Working in a Casino does have its drawbacks! What are these.. bank holidays you speak of?

I may try to pop up around 1pm and have a good ol meet and greet if you guys will be around if possible?

It's open till 8 (I think) on Friday so we could well still be around.

**Buttery Commissar**

It's gaking snowing.
I'm on my way, but my timing is dependant on the amount of goonery going on around the roads.

**taemu_touhi**

After an epic three player free for all, lasting 7.5 hours...

This pretty much sums up my experience

Thanks for the game! And let us never ever play that again.

**CaoCaoTipper**

Beat me to it Touhi....

Thanks for coming down everyone, it was a blast. See you all next time at that event

**Buttery Commissar**

I sincerely regret not bringing my tauros jeep and using it to drive donuts in your starting area.

But yes, thank you guys sincerely for the game, even if I was incapable of word making by round 7

**Jadenim**

Great to meet you all, I had a blast (even though I think I came last in the end!). Looking forward to the next time

**sunnyday**

It was good fun!

**AEIOUMadden**

Anyone up for a game this weekend?

Just noticed it's throne of skulls again this weekend. Although I can call and see if there's any tables free if anyone would be up for it.

**JamesY**

I wish I could Madden, got a to-do list longer than a meatloaf song though unfortunately. :(

**Buttery Commissar**

Sorry, I'm going back to Lancashire for the weekend. Finally got a job offer, ao I should be able to eventually afford more WHW trips though.

Also forgot to mention in this topic, amusingly we accidentally ended up in what appeared to be a VIP cordoned off area for the games Mark set up.

The entire room was almost deserted, and we were roped off at one end because I assume, the staff needed the barriers out for the next morning.

**CaoCaoTipper**

I prefer the "Mark got us into the VIP area" way of telling it

Makes me sound like I have connections.

And sorry Maden, I would've suggested Friday but I'm having a bit of a big dental surgery tommorow and I certainly won't be talking much this weekend. Can't wait for that.

**AEIOUMadden**

No worries. I was thinking if no one could make it I'd try the Friar Lane shop for a pick up game. No clue how well that'd go though.

It won't. You have to book in in advance. That's why you see most of the old regulars at whw now.

Oh wow didn't realise it was like that, glad I checked now. Might even try WHW for a pick up game. But I imagine thats a slim chance on an event weekend.

@CaoCao: Btw hope the surgery goes alright tomorrow!

Might be worth a call and asking, he may have rescinded the policy. Killed the hobby activity there for a good while. Might have changed.

Thanks I'll double check just in case.

**AEIOUMadden**

Turns out it's still bookings only for games at Friar Lane which sucks. Went down to WHW today to see some of the tournament and there was plenty going on even without a game.

Next weekend is free of any events if anyone fancies a game?

**JamesY**

I've just built the genestealer cult if you fancy a 600 point game? Unless you have added since the last game, in which case I'll have time for up to 1.5k.

Can only do Saturday morning though.

**AEIOUMadden**

Max I can do is 750pts but 600pts would be ideal! Playin genestealers sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.

Saturday mornings good for me

**JamesY**

Great. Do you want to book a table or do you want me to? I'll be using the wd formation, if you want to look over it so you know what to expect
