I'm looking forward to seeing how an achilles raider doea, always been impressed with their options and fw model but not enough to buy one!

List looks good kantor, you'll do Dorn proud!

Hey dudes, don't forget to check out Nuke Arts Facebook page...

They've also been kind enough to provide us with a professionally painted, display standard, Typhus miniature to lead the charge in our ZombAid charity effort.

Whats ZombAid?

Noise marines built- just waiting to get a little bit of liquid green then ready for the paint station!

Just this morning ordered a complete legion of the damned squad!

I am however annoyed with FW as I ordered stuff last Friday and sill hasn't arrived! It's weathering powders and contemptor arms. I can't finish certain models until they arrive though!,,

They charged £5.76 postage and takes a week, GW stuff ordered this morning will likely arrive tomorrow and was free.

FW postage has always been a pain in the arse, overly expensive and slow! Its one thing GW get right regular, 10 quid plus and postage is free! There are few items that cost less than 10 pound, true, but its still free postage!

Almost finished my Eldar terrain, then I need to crack on and finish painting my army. I'm getting some final additions this weekend so army list will follow.

If anyone is in the Leeds/Wakefield area and wants to carshare I'm happy to take people.

Can't wait for the weekend!!!

I may be in leeds myself come december... You never know!

Ticket purchased!

Hi Kantor

Apologies if it's my lack of knowledge of all things marine but don't librarians have a force weapon basic and so can't take 2 sets of guns?? The codex seems rather vaguley worded.

Hey dudes.

I've just spent the past few hours making an Animosity Campaign soundbite for VoxNet Radio http://voxnetradio.com/

Be sure to check out their next installment to hear the results...

I'm fairly sure that taking the epistolary allows then two psyched powers. Otherwise they would just have force weapon. The force weapon can be used in close combat and is usually carried, in my librarian's case he carries a force stave. He can have 2 mastery points which usually means two powers per round or one level 2 power.

I think there are some crossed wires here...

Ah you mean actual guns. He can have a storm bolter with a combi weapon, that's what they model it with.

This is one weapon, the storm bolter, with a single shot, one use plasma pistol strapped on.

Do you have any idea on times? What time does each day start and finish? Just trying to decide wether to stay over or not.

Achilles looks the business Kantor

Cheers!

just checked out that Achilles, its the bis! sweet weathering kantor. not liking the loadout- is that 2 twin linked multi melta's- so going to hurt!

And the Thunderfire cannon on't front's pretty tasty too!

Due to the upsurge in recent rumour mill exposure for the company known as Maelstrom Games, I felt it was necessary to let everybody who is attending the Animosity Campaign Weekend in December, know that the situation regarding the company Maelstrom Games, will not affect the campaign weekend. The venue is no longer called Maelstrom Games and is a seperate concern and company in its own right.

With this in mind I urge all those people who are yet to purchase their tickets to do so without fear of the Maelstrom situation affecting their purchase. If you have already bought your ticket, thank you.

The venue will be open from 9am on Saturday the 15th of December, with Arrival Registration taking place before 9:30 and the initial games beginning at 10am. On Sunday the venue also opens at 9am and as soon as participants are in place the Apocalypse will begin.

The Eye of the Storm will be hosting a Christmas Party on the Saturday evening. Tickets to attend the evenings entertainment are £5 each and will be available to purchase on the day. If you are sure you will be remaining on site to enjoy the festivities, please let me know and I can provide the venue, our hosts, with some provisional numbers.

Thanks dudes.

Ta da for now.

Count me as attending the evening do!

This post arrived as I was beating some IG in to the floor! 1750 points, contemptor and Achillies in play, both gave a good account.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Question, can I alter the list slightly? After play testing things might change a bit. Tonight's line up worked well. 3 tac squads, pedro kantor, relic contemptor, storm talon gunship and Achillies LR. 1750 points but could lose a tac squad to make it 1500.

Comments? What could change or stay?

Also when do you need a definitive game 1 list and a game 5 list?

Hey Kantor. Provided you bring 2 copies of your list on the day, one for opponents and one for yourself, then you can change it at any time really.

I had intended to try to scour each army list and ensure there were no shenanigans but it will have to be up to the players now as time is short and I have too much to do. The main reason for getting folks to email me lists now is to see if they have a larger Apoc force and to find out what some players are actually bringing. There are some tight lips out there and the narrative needs to be worked to what armies will attend.

Finalised lists can be emailed at any time before the weekend if I already know what force you are bringing, which I your case, I do.

I don't know what the plans are for the evening do but they have a bar there so I'm sure most people will find some way of amusing themselves whatever the venue puts on... I'll probably be attending it too, should Sar Mikael agree (he should, I'll be driving), unless we haven't seen the Hobbit by then (unlikely) cos we'll be off!

Nukearts, our painting Competition Sponsor, will be awarding the winner with a secret, professionally painted, to display quality standards, miniature...

Check out their Dakka thread here... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/474291.page
to see the quality of the prize you could be winning!

Erm, guess ill be going to the evening do then! Ha ha. Cool beans, game 3/4 army list is coming together- something along lines of chaos lord, tac squad with ccw, storm eagle, possessed, noise marines chosen. Something like that , ill finalise tomoz.

I'm still nowhere near having any lists done, so much other stuff to get done for the campaign! I'll probably end up knocking it together last minute as usual!

Army lists will be done tonight (hopefully).

Are there any other Eldar/Dark Eldar players confirmed?

There is another Eldar player in the process of confirming, and Kitch our Dark Eldar player is yet to confirm... and been relatively quite recently so who knows?

On the subject of attendance...

Can I take a moment to reassure everybody that Maelstrom Games are no longer involved in the venue that we are using any longer. The venue is in no danger of suffering due to the fallout from whatever it is that is happening to Maelstrom Games either. The future of the events will depend on the reputation of the first, don't let the reputation of a store that has nothing to do with Animosity, tear it down before it begins... please!

November is upon us and the event is closing in rapidly, and surprise surprise, my moods are up and down like a pair of knickers on Geordie Shore. Up when I got definitive confirmation that the venue was safe, now down because four players have just jumped. Maelstroms reputation being sited by a couple as their reasons for not attending, others simply because now that it is time to commit they can't be bothered.

Needless to say its a frustrating time, especially since I've started projects for specific factions that now have no representation. We lost both Tyranid players, and i'm in the middle of a project specifically for their task force. We've also lost two Chaos players, so were pretty Imperial heavy too.

What can be done about this? Nowt really. Spread the word, try to get as many people as you come into contact with (preferably who play 40K, we don't need some dude you play squash with who has never heard of Warhammer, but is a terribly nice chap all the same) to attend the weekend. I began this with the idea that the more players that attend the better a weekend it will be, hopefully we just get enough players to make it worth while!

I know it may seem very pessimistic of me, but thats the mood I'm in, and so would you be if you'd put so many hours into this since March. Either way, even if I'm there myself, the weekend is going ahead, so if the idea of people dropping out makes you think twice, think three times and realise that you're still going to get a good load of games in, they'll just all be against me and my Imperial Fists... or Kantors Crimson Fists, or Sar Mikael and his Emperors Children if he ever gets any of them painted.

Don't go away from this long rant thinking, "jeeso, what am I going to that event for..." please, finish reading this and think, "what can i do to help bolster the attendance levels?"

Ta da for now dudes.

geordie

I have to admit I feel some amount of shame/guilt over the nid players, although I shouldn't as I was mess lead too. I am making them aware of my displeasure. You would think that you would ok a weekend away with family before signing up!

I am trying to persuade other possible players and will keep you updated on my progress.

I'll play anyone! I'll fight whoever.

On another note, if there are players who can play but don't have the models then I could potentially borrow nids, tau or IG.

At the very least we can have a tiff between dorns children!

well dont worry im still rocking up! granted like you said i need to get the whip a crackin! but chill boy! haha. even if numbers dont enable the narrative- which will be annoying considering we wanted a narrative campaign, and annoying for you given all the hard work behind the scenes youve put in, we can have plenty of games non the less. ill have words with a gaming group i randomly attend- some are coming already, but will remind the rest/ chivvy them on to come. ill try and post some pics of some stuff ive been working on.

Hey Geordie, real sorry that I haven't been in touch or confirmed yet! I've had so much on with work, and now I'm arranging a charity gig for a family that's recently suffered a bereavement, that I haven't had much, if any, time for myself lately!

I'm still definitely interested in attending, though given current cash flow I won't be able to get enough together to enter in to the apoc match. WIth that in mind, would it be alright for me to just partake in the Saturday match? Narrative-wise that might fit quite well, with the DE running slave raids on day 1 and ducking out of the fight that they can't win on day 2!

Again, truely very sorry for not being active on here in a while, I appreciate how much work you've put in to setting the whole thing up and ass holes like me not being active in the thread must make you feel like it's a whole lot of work for nowt...

Don't worry dude. inactivity on the thread is the least of my worries. You can still play in the Apocalypse mate. Just knock as much together as you can and I'll make sure that when you are fielded with the Eldar players that their immense (I've seen a list and I mean immense) force can keep the game balanced! Its one of the reasons I've asked people to submit lists beyond 4000 points, to help those who can't field 4000 points!

Anybody who attends, whether they post on the thread or not, will have my up-most gratitude! I'll not be giving them money or owt, just a big smile...
