Most of the snow here around Allentown looks poised to strike tonight overnight, so probably will be cleared out by Friday morning commuting time. At least enough to be fine by lunch. It isn't freezing now either, so the ground will be thawed and will help the melt.

What time does the 40k mini campaign start on saturday?

Yes, most of the precipitation is going north of us down here; they've just cleared the forecast down to 0-1 inches, and it'll be done coming down by early Fri morning.

Daggermaw, my guess would be around 2pm when the fantasy mini campaign wraps up! grey_death is the man with the answers on this one

3am, there's a bit of snow up here, and I just finished up a huge pot of Black Squig Surprise for lunch on Saturday.

2 lbs of beans (red this time).
2 lbs of Jimmy Dean sausage, cooked up and chopped into chunks.
3 chopped onions
peppers of various colors,
big can of crushed tomatoes
Secret Spices! This time it's a lot of Chilie Powder, Paprika, Crushed Red Pepper, Cumin, Cinamon and other stuff I forget the name of.

Throw in a large crockpot with lots of water, and cook on low heat for 1-2 days. Gets a lot hotter as it cooks. Add some cayenne at the end of you need a good kick to it.

I usually serve it with rice, but goes over biscuits quite well.

Just about 10AM up here, and what was supposed to be the heaviest period of snowfall is beautiful blue skies. Rampage is go!

- Salvage

Almost 10am here and it is comming down hard!!! Sad to say this looks like a no go for me :(.

I've been house hunting in Northern Jersey as of today - and they got dumped on overnight but the main roads look good to go.

Back to Baltimore tonight - then up to Philly for the DakkaCon tomorrow

Well, they want you to THINK they are girl scouts....

Allentown weather report: Sucked SO hard getting to class this morning at 8. By 10 when I was heading back 78 was clear and dry as a bone, and local roads were not a problem. The Turn Pike and other major roads should be the same, so GAME ONE!

As a side note, I powered through painting and basing etc the last of my army, so I credit the improved conditions to Slaanesh smiling upon my obsessive work.

Last night I began and finished assembly of my entire warband, got this large map of the warhammer world printed and laminated for the campaign (cost a small fortune.. .but totally worth it!), and picked up a couple of cheap button makers to make some "got dakka?" buttons when there's some downtime .

Today I finished the handout for the warbands campaign (attached to this post) and printed out the "got dakka?" circles.

Just gotta head home, pick up the wife, and we'll be on our way! Unfortunately I have to put in a full day's work, so that means leaving work at 5, probably leaving home at 6, and getting up there sometime between 8 and 9 with the traffic. But will see you all soon

I'll be heading out of here around 3-3:30, so I'll hopefully get there between 5 and 6. Can't wait to meet up with everyone!

Show off. :-P You can be assured that my horde of half naked painted men will be glaring at your grey primed army in disdain. DISDAIN I SAY!!!

Goddamn I am excited!!

Just read the mini campaign rules. Look good, just note that I am looking forward to my 2nd and 3rd games of WHFB ever today when Salvage gets here, so you probably don't want me facing GD, DV or whatnot either Put me in the Noob Bracket please!

Got it, Wehrkind . I'm hoping that the more experienced players won't mind playing the less experienced ones to kind of coach them through. If you guys are feeling really confident I might have a few of you play each other in one of the later rounds but it'll be real relaxed so we can make sure there's no matchup where neither player really knows how to play!

The only catch here is depending on the numbers, I was hoping to evenly split the experienced / inexperienced players onto the two different "teams". So hopefully we have enough that that will work out (I think we will). Also, once things get rolling I'm betting that in round 3/4 pretty much anybody could match up, as people will have the hang of the army/format a bit more by then. Will play it by ear and see how everyone's doing somehow while also playing my own game! (Although I'll be sitting out any round we get an odd number of people for)

Sounds good. I am pretty good on the rules from a theory stand point, and maybe by tomorrow I will be feeling pretty good about keeping them all in a line in practice, so don't worry about me too much.

Until we meet on the field, that is... BWAHAHAHAHA!

I take it Boss_Salvage has not arrived yet

I'm on a roll at work but might try to take off a hair early, so as to catch rush hour full on... a brilliant strategy, I know!

No need for unpainted models! It's just 500 points. We start painting after a few beers, and don't worry about sleep.)

unfortunately i'm not going to make it due to a sick dog, and a baby who won't sleep...grr.... Alas, but I hope everyone has a fine time, and I definitely plan on making it down to the bunker for a game night sometime. Hopefully I'll play in the ST. Valentines day Massacre.

I'll be putting the finishing touches on my 500 points of wolves tonight and rolling out bright and early tomorrow morning .

Can't wait to see everyone! It's going to be a blast!

Heading down to Philly in T minus 2 hours!

Brace yerselves...

Heading out the door from work right now, so will be on my way to Philly by 6

Sadly there's an exercise going on (Thank you, Marine Corps), otherwise I'd have driven up there to play with you guys.

New recruits welcome? Like to get in some 40K Saturday in the Mini Campaign or pick-up games. Have chaos.

Heading out tomorrow morning, should be there 11 or noon.

Ok, it's 2am, and Jin, MeanGreenStompa, and I have run out of bars to abuse!

See you all in the morning and we will begin the next round of abusing alcohol and telling stories tomorrow night before heading for south philly for steak sandwhiches.

Okay - Just finished my Knight.
1130pm - 326am from start to finish.

I really need to find more time for the hobby..

See you guys in a few hours!

I just got home from visiting DAKKACON. It was good to catch up with folks but I did not have time to play.

For those who are on the way still, there are a bunch of folks hanging out for open gaming as well as the scheduled events. Drop by if you can.
