Oooo, this changes my deliberations!

Thanks for the update Ben.

Now how many Ogryns can I squeeze in and paint before the 7th?

Yay, now i can just lose higher points games with my failcrons Which i have decided i will definatly take, after changing my mind 4 times.

Ogyrns and necrons?

Watch out Snarky, you've got your work cut out for you!

Hive Fleet Kielbasa again for me, and Trixie and Mr Snuggles will bring a few more of their friends.

I actually won a game once Although to be honest, i've only played about 6 times with them. Better with my Marines, but they aren't painted at all.

Ok, gonna ask for a few clarrifications if that's ok...

10:-30:- 12:00 - Game 1 - 1000 points, Victory Points, Pitched Battle

Mission: Victory Points

Add the points value of whatever you have left on the table to the points value of what your opponents has lost. Add the two together. Then compare the score to your opponents:-

If you have a total of more than 150 more than your opponent: Victory to you
If you have a total of less than 150 below your opponent, you lose.
If you and your opponents scores are within 150 points of each other, the game is a tie.

To be clear, no actually addition takes place, you simply compare what you have left?

12:15:- 1:45 - Game 2 - 1000 points, Bombardment, Table Halves

Mission: Bombardment, Table Halves

There are three objectives placed on each table by the Judge. The winner must hold more objectives than his opponent, to tie on the number held is a draw, to have less is a loss. At the start of each players turn, they receive a single Artillery Bombardment for each objective held by their opponent, to be used at the start of their movement phase. Each Artillery Bombardment has the following profile:-

Range:- Unlimited Strength: 8 AP: 3 Type: Ordnance 1/Barrage

What is Table Halves deployment? Is it Dawn of War (ie nightfighting etc)?
Just to check, at the start of each of your turns you recieve bombardments for each objective your opponent holds?

Oh god, knowing my luck i'm probably going to get tabled now.

I've clarified by indicating the appropriate page in the main rulebook, and erasing all my guff.

Table Halves is indeed Dawn of War. And that is correct, at the start of your turn, you receive and use a number bombardments equal to the number of objectives the opposition hold. Similar to an orbital bombardment.

I CAN MAKE BOTH DAYS NOW!

That leaves fifty in a somewhat awkward spot then....

Yeah, if it is a problem, I might just run a DnD game at home for my buddies. I haven't paid yet anyway, and it is a long way to come for a single day... My DnD campaign could do with gaining a bit of impetus anyway.

Plus, my marines are nowhere near painted.

Hmmmm.....
*tots up figures*
Well, we have 12 as things stand right now paid and booked. Ian usually comes down with Gary and Brad, in which case we'll have 15....and if Battlecannon it phil makes it down with one more, we'll have an odd place anyway......where's albatross when you need him?

Just added to a convenient B&B in the first post:- Can't speak for the quality, but its 15 mins walk from the venue, and on the same level as the uni, so no need to hike up the hill first thing in the morning! I also live around the corner, so I can guide people to the venue if necessary.

Glad you brought up the topic of accomodation I had completely forgottem to book anything! All done now though.

I suggest that attendees look into it ASAP, for those not in the know Canterbury attracts allot of tourists so hotels can fill up. So don't leave it to the last minute (like I did last time!).

Whats the deal with Forgeworld models? allowed or not, I've just ordered myself a Wraithseer from them! I don't know if I'll be using it for this but would be good to know what options I have

Generally speaking, Forgeworld lists are allowed, with the restriction being no super heavies and no flyers. If you want to use a specific unit out of one of the books for a standard army list, send me a link to the rules, and I'll either approve it straight off, or send you back a slightly modified entry to use (that's it its really broken basically).

Aiyah....Just when I was planning on making it, money lets me down. Sorry guys. Maybe next time....

confirming me , and evilmop both attending.

Added you both!

Panic and Ian have both said they'll be attending as well on top of it, so looks like we'll have a minimum 16 people attending this time around! An increase from the 12 of last Platinum Devil!

So before i start to write my lists , vendetta, valk, stormraven, waveserpent, falcon, raider ravager, landspeeders, night thingy deldar planes are not allowed ?

Flyers aren't alright. Skimmers are.

All the things you've noted up there are fine Phil.

By 'flyers', I'm referring to the units which use the 'flyer' rules as outlined in Imperial Armour. So if its in a GW codex, you're okay.

swish

Just to let everyone now know, since there seems to be variation on what is wanted, the prize for first place this time around will effectively be an IOU for £40, that I will redeem for them at any online modelling store, be it Forgeworld, Maxminis, or FOW.

What will happen is whoever wins will send me their details over Dakka after the event (that is to say, their address), and what they want, and I'll order it straight to their house.

There are lesser prizes for second and third however, as per last time.

Perhaps you could use the money to make a Dakka trophy?

Well. Let's jsut say there's something planned there already....

I can imagine it now, an embellished gold Ketara statue funded by the prize money.

We call it 'art' in these parts pardner.

Gentlemen! Platinum Devil Places are now closed! We have 18 attendees, a new record!

I'm about halfway through rebasing my poor, battered ork army. Looking forward to the event!
(only a week after payday too, so I can afford few pints!)
