You should reassure them that a) I don't know how to play and b) I do not play sensibly. I play for making sure other people get more than one turn.
Also if we have to do WYSIWYG, it only has one ranged weapon.

When we did the Titan participation game at Forgeworld's Open Day (A warlord, a reaver and two warhounds per side), the idea was to take everything out, and I may have played rather badly on purpose so that the teenager on the other end of the table actually got to shoot things with his Warlord.

To all those who have said that they can make the 27th, kick off is going to be between 10.00 and 10.30. If you can't make it then, just arrive when you can and you are welcome to join straight in. Just a reminder, my friendship group does have a "strong" sense of humour, nothing is ever said to upset anyone, and we always have great fun playing, but I know it isn't everyone's taste...

I think we are at capacity for the table now, so any one who hasn't already said that they are coming (AEIOU, BC, Rem, Mella, Sonny off the top of my head), unfortunately I don't think the table can take anymore. Should be about 7 people per side.

Can't wait for it! Only 19 fists left to finish

Hi James, I think I said I'd come earlier in the thread, just thought I'd check you'd got me in the numbers?

Also @Buttery, when we met last time I thought you hesitated on introducing yourself, figured it was because of the whole screen name/ real world thing, not ...other reasons. Congrats on the new moniker!

Same here, I think I said I'd be able to make it if you were able to? If not, that's all good.

**JamesY**

Yeah you are both welcome

**Jadenim**

Right, best get painting Firewarriors!

Also, I planning on getting the train up (so I can have a beverage or two), but I've never used Nottingham's funky tram system; is anybody else going in that way?

No but I've heard its pretty convenient seein how close it stops to WHW. I'll have to bus and walk it since I'm the wrong side of Beeston for it lol

**Buttery Commissar**

You walk to the back of the train station (follow the curve of the main front hall and towards the toilets/car park exit). Take the stairs up, and get the Toton Lane tram that heads towards Gregory street. You cannot actually miss the stop, it's the one after you see the WHW building.

**Jadenim**

Cheers Buttery!

**JamesY**

On weds going to arrive at 10.00 for a 10.30 kick off. Going to need some time to get a tea, buy some fw, and unpack these boys;

See you then, I'll be online so pm me if you need to make contact on the day. Looking forward to it

**Buttery Commissar**

Looking fantastic, James!

I'm going to bring the Titan and my guard, and see which is more appropriate to use. I'm worrying that it's probably quite boring to fire one gun per turn, and then get knocked out.

**JamesY**

You can always use both

And thanks!

**Jadenim**

That's a nice looking army James! Sadly haven't made as much progress as I'd like with my Tau, but it's semi-painted and everything is under coated, so at least no force of grey doom!

**JamesY**

Thanks Jadenim, don't worry about how much paint is on them, any effort is appreciated and I'm sure will be enough.

**sunnyday**

Cool see you tomorrow then.

**Buttery Commissar**

Aye, the person on the phone was an anomaly, James. There's no set painted mini policy. I was chatting to our local manager and joked I needed to paint an entire Titan by tomorrow, and he took it incredibly seriously (and was quite irritated) that someone had said it was the case to anyone outside a tournament.
It was a real joking to adult-face in 0 seconds conversation.

My guard are mostly painted anyway. Some details need doing.

**Sgt_Smudge**

I just went over some of the more-badly painted details of what I'm bringing, it looks a little better now at least.

**JamesY**

It's a strange one, although this is from the whw site;

I can't imagine for a second that they would try to enforce it.

Keep up the good work smudge!

**Buttery Commissar**

Huh! I've never booked online so I never saw that.
Well I'll just put my clothes on the titan if it comes to it.

**JamesY**

She did say as much as possible, and said if something had been recently bought and built that was fine, so all will be good.

I'll see if I can find one of my nephew's t-shirts just in case

**Buttery Commissar**

I was going to say, "It's fine, I'll use my own clothes, nothing on the venue rules say *people* have to be completely painted and covered."
But I know sadly that they do say that, quite specifically.

**AEIOUMadden**

If I can get away with my sea of grey your titan will be just fine.

**Buttery Commissar**

But now I want to dress it up!

**AEIOUMadden**

If you put it in a little dress I would probably die

**Buttery Commissar**

I'll see what I can do.

**JamesY**

Thanks everyone! Was a great day. I'd post the pictures I took but most of them are rubbish!

**Jadenim**

Thanks James, it was a really good laugh, hope the wedding goes off without a hitch! Well, it will need at least one hitch, otherwise it's not a wedding, but you know what I mean.

**Sgt_Smudge**

Agreed, good game (even if I had to leave early) - hope it all goes well!

**sunnyday**

It was fun it thanks for organising it and I hope you enjoy Thursday.

**Buttery Commissar**

Aye, lovely to get a game in with you guys, thanks for organising it, James.

Hope you can relax and kick back with the wedding.

**Mellamoluigi**

Yeah nice one James however my itch for a good old game of 40k didn't get scratch I only got 1 turn. However if anyone fancies a proper match up on Wednesday I'm all over it.. Lewis
