We've got two tables! If we double up on one we could fit around six probably, so you're all good mate. Can't wait to see the new additions

Ah nice one. We can see how it is on the day. Ive made some kroot and a broadside. Still a lot of bare plastic and base coats on show though haha.

But I might even have a riptide built by then though

I think we're all gonna be pretty chill about the bare plastic stuff xD I've barely touched by models since the last time I played down there a month or so back.


Btw, to anyone who doesn't know, the table will be booked under the name Mark RIgley (Or Wrigley, as they sometimes decide to spell it). The tables have name cards on them so that's how you can find us, if any new folks are coming.

Edit: Also, i'll be there opening time, hopefully Look for a bearded guy with a Chaos army.

No beanie?

I'll be there for 10 hopefully. I'll find CaoCao as I think I changed a bit since last time.

Ill be there for 10 too

...and changed? How so?

Hi all. I'm organising a big game on July the 27th as a sort of hobby stag do (just a game with a few drinks and food, no stupid laddish additions). If anyone from the thread wants to join, you are very welcome. It will be a 30k/40k game. There will be a few of us there, including some whw regulars. AEIOUMadden and Mellamoluigi have already been invited as I have their numbers, but everyone is welcome (you might need a fairly robust sense of humour, and not be easily offended!)

If you fancy it pm me. Buttery if you want your titan to do some killing, you are very welcome to bring it along!

Where would that be? WHW?
I'd be up for it if that's ok?

Whw, and you are more than welcome!

I'd be interested - might have a few issues I might need to resolve via PM if I was free, but colour me interested, if you'd have me.

You are very welcome, pm me any questions or issues that you have

I'll see what state I'm in, as well as the Titan, James. Sounds like a good time.

I'm leaving my job due to them actively making my life hell, so I don't know how robust my anything will be at that point. Hopefully recovered by then though!

@BC Sounds like you are going through it, I hope it works out well for you and you find another position soon. Come if you can, or rest if you need to, open invite.

Edit: Table is booked for the 27th. They have changed the rules so now everything needs to be painted and based and obviously gw. I'm suggesting three base colours. Might be a pain, but it's a good excuse to get stuff moving.

When did the painted models thing become a rule?

I think it is something that they are phasing in currently, she said it was because "the tables are awesome and it makes it a better game for everyone." I've been a bit guilty for gaming with grey this year, so it will stop me doing that if nothing else.

I'd be up for joining the fun if that's ok? Any idea on game format / points? That's become a bit more important if painted models are required!

You are welcome to join in! At present there is looking like 15-20 definite people, all of whom are really good guys to game/socialise with. Final numbers will dictate points, anywhere between 1-3k per person will be possible, depending on what they have. We can work out sides/balance closer to the time

They cannot seriously be enforcing painted minis... That's nuts.

I'll lose half my opponents!

I can imagine it won't be very strict but theyre saying it just to motivate people into getting their stuff painted

Either way I'll be there and hopefully this ever growing pile of grey will be a lot smaller!

I can understand that for the feature tables, but not for just a realm of battle with a few trees...

Well if my Titan is built by then, but not completely painted, I'll just furnish it with the receipt as a flag.

Yeah, just a note on the new rule - they've had this in since like the beginning of 2016. However, my friends and I have taken bare plastic models into WHW before since then on several occasions and the staff haven't even batted an eyelid at us, so don't worry about it if you can't get everything done. We've played on feature tables and everything...

It's the first time it's ever been said to me, and I play every school holiday and always book ahead. I'm not disputing you at all, just odd that they have only just mentioned it. I'm not worried, most of the staff I know well, half of us at the game will be ex staff, so it won't be a problem even if they weren't already decent people. Good excuse to get stuff moving though. I might even try to blog my attempts to paint a whole company in six weeks...

BC, they definitely wouldn't complain at that! And I think turning the receipt into a loincloth is a must!

For me or the Titan?

Ha ha!

Youre on about painting an entire company in 6 weeks and I just spent most an evening building a riptide leg...

I got a little over the top on the cleaning as I build...

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure it is an amazing leg! I have a decent amount of experience with miniature painting, I'm not saying I'm really good at it by any means, but as long as I can get the time at the table I can produce a good tabletop army quickly. I am literally going to aim to get the armour done properly (shading and highlights), properly based, and then just put the base layers on the fists, black silver bits. After the game I'll be at leisure to finish them, but at least they'll be useable and not grey.

So I don't feel left out with an unpainted army, to get to 1k, I need to paint in the order of 40+ IG troops
Challenge?
Accepted (ruefully)

Hey guys, I'm coming up to warhammer world tomorrow and I've booked one of the feature tables. If anyone fancies an 1850pt 40k game, shoot me a pm

What are you painting? I have Vostroyans
But sure
I'm no great painter, so I won't be documenting it for the forum, but I can try and race you to completion

@The only jp
I'd love to, but I'm at work

100 crimson fists. I'll just be doing the armour and bases properly, and a couple base coats to pick out some details.
