Word all,

Will be attending, hopefully, this coming Monday. Formosa, shredder either of you want a game?

Sorry mate, I should be having a game with Wesker.

It was my Birthday yesterday and with some money I bought some interesting stuff that shall see battle on the table at some point, not yet though, but I'm hoping it will cause me to laugh evilly!

Hey Wesker, I've come up with a list for our game tonight, but it's ONE point over!
I know you haven't forgiven me for my list that was over the limit, but would you play a list that was one point over? Lol.

I'm in. Dark eldar.
Need to take some prisoners to torture!

Let Chaos tempt you! Fall to the ruinous powers!

I'll bring a 750 list with me. I know jonny and alex have both said they are bringing 40k with them also.

Yes, it was a good game.
The Harlequins did well, but no where near made their points back.
The crimson hunter was very effective.
The swooping hawks did nothing, but I didn't play them to the best of their abilities.
The jetbikes were great, but couldn't do anything once you tied them up in assault.
Your guardians did very well, that's a lot of firepower they put out.
Your Rangers were very good also, nearly taking out my flyer! and they were difficult to take out.
I'm looking forward to trying out my Dire Avengers in their wave serpent.

It's always good to have a fresh face and army to face.
Dark Eldar are my main army also, I've never actually played against them though, could be fun.

Nick, you know you were talking about doing an escalation league if enough people were interested?
I would be interested in maybe warhammer fantasy or I like the look of dropzone commander.
But I'd only be able to do it once I've got a job!
With dropzone commander or any other system, it would only be worth doing if there were enough people to play against. I like the idea of playing another system. With fantasy, there are enough players that I know I'd get a game in.

I've been reading the WHFB rule book and the Tomb Kings army book. I'm definitely going to go for Tomb Kings.
I'm really liking the idea of fantasy, having read through the rule book.

If anyone has got an army I could borrow, I'd love to get in on a game of Fantasy tomorrow, like I did before.
I've been reading up on it and looking through battle reports etc, and I'm really quite excited about starting.
I've just bought the Tomb Kings army book of ebay for £9.50 so pretty happy about that (don't think the wife will be, but too late now!)

I'll be there with 40K also, I have had a big kick on painting this week and have made some good progress on my Dark Eldar. I thought after their crushing victory last week, they deserved some attention.

Talking of selling stuff, I've got some stuff I want to get rid of.
I've got some orks, necrons and space marines.

I've got:
12 Warriors
3 Scarabs
5 lychguard with sword and shield
and imotekh
I did have some immortals but I've just sold those.

Just looking through the fantasy rule book again and as far as I can tell, the casket of souls does NOT need line of sight, and it can move. So completely played that game wrong. Oh well, live and learn.

Would anyone be interested in getting together one evening or weekend and doing a video battle report? 40k or fantasy.
I fancy doing some vids for youtube. I don't have a table though, so if anyone has gaming space and want's to be a youtube star then let me know.

It'd be great to have you back Stuart!

I probably wont get a game in the fantasy league but I'll still bring my tomb kings, so Tony if you want a game with your dwarves I'll have 1500 points. If I can I'll also bring 40k.

Wow, no one uses this thread any more!

Anyway, if anyone does read this, I've been looking at Bolt Action as several people have been talking about getting in to it and maybe doing it as our next escalation league.

I'm really liking what I see and you can count me in. Has anyone decided what country they're going for?

I like the look of the Soviets or Polish, maybe even Japan.
