Bunch of folk near and around WHW, so give this topic a rattle and see who pops out, if you're looking for casual games.


Original topic:
Spoiler:
Looking for anyone who fancies a game on Saturday, February the 7th. Morning or afternoon, or I can just book a plain table for the day and be flexible.

Army wise: Bring what you like, I'm still learning, so I don't mind being hammered.
I play mostly infantry IG, with three LR tanks, a chimera, and no psykers or useful air support. I can do up to around 2000pt, but I'm quite new, so very much more and I struggle to cope just yet.

If you are uncertain how to get to WHW I can help you from Notts train station, it's now super easy on the tram line.

I don't care if your figures are painted, as long as I can understand where one unit starts and another ends. 99% of mine are, if it matters.

I am up for games on other dates of course, but I'm being asked to go along on the 7th as a case-caddy, and I'd like to use the time there.

Ey up Buttery, do you mean sat 6th, or Sunday 7th? I should be able to get there in the morning for a game on the Saturday.

That's a fantastic question. I'll find out.

I did mean the Sunday, but I'm happy to come out and play.

What happened was I opened my phone calendar and looked at February, no my realising it defaulted to 2015...
It's been a very long week.

No worries, it has indeed been a very taxing time. If you're sure then great, if you'd rather just keep it to the Sunday then no worries

Apparently I left all my big words in bed when I wrote that.

Satsuma's good, I've got a railcard, so I'm fine to do both (or avoid Sunday and carrying 20K of some else's army).

That's very kind (and trusting) of your mate to let you carry their army for them!

I'll get a table booked for sat 6th then. How many points, restrictions etc do you want to play?

I was there today and booked in for the day (drop out whenever, but the morning slot is quite abrupt) while pratting about, we're in the sector imperialis under "BC" as I realised standing next to my girly name all day is a bit weird.

So far as points, you probably know better than I do what would be playable in the time afforded to you.
I'm not a fan of Mysterious objectives due to them bring a faff, but other than that, feel free to bring whatever. My army is lots of flashlights and a glittery tank.

Yeah, it's very trusting, I know guys who'd let me handle their pets or genitals but wouldn't trust me to carry their painted army. Wargamers: Law unto themselves.

Ha ha, I think I'd rather hand over my genitals than an army.
Probably 1500 then? I'm happy to just have a straight up death match or use maelstrom, which ever you prefer. Looking forward to seeing the glittery tank.

Sounds good!

Glittery tank is under renovation, but I'll try and get it finished. There's also a standard Tauros jerp, but no anti-air as I mentioned. I think Valkyries are kinda ugly, so I never bothered, so a lack of fliers unless I get the Aquila out. Fear the low capacity, single laser bird.

Come to think of it, my partner carries armfuls of bags to a finger breaking over-loaded extent, to avoid anyone else carrying his figures, including me. Well, case in point.

Don't prioritize getting it painted on my account, I've played many grey armies. Do you have many heavy weapons? I haven't used my ork walker army in over a year and would be fun to crack out again. It's a terrible army, but wouldn't be if 95% of your army couldn't glance av 10/11.

I have a small amount of HWS (enough to run a trio each of HB, AC or Lascannon), and a literal handful of things like meltas and plasma gunners. One guy has a hairdryer an amusingly tiny flamer.

I also don't psyker yet due to trying to get this learned well enough to play fluidly, but I don't mind if you do.

Use what you find fun! There's no point owning models if you don't field them.

I've got about 10 armies for 40k, so plenty to choose from, although it wouldn't be the best army to fight if you are wanting to learn the ropes. I'll go for some flavour of space marine.

It's fine, go for what you'd enjoy, or don't get to use often, if it appeals! I can throw up a rough list at some point, and I have some odd bits I may have built by then, which are fun but not the most competitive. (HBD, Russian doll tanks, etc)

Because of the fairly eclectic way I learned (mixture of well meaning friends and high speed tournaments), I'm still rounding out things like AP/AV whilst knowing the ins and out of irrelevant super heavies, and jinking. So I need some alone time with my rulebook, which thankfully I can get this month.

No worries, I only play once in each school holiday these days, so often need to double check the brb myself.

I'll go with the orks then. Expect 9 kills kans, 3 deff dreds, a morknaut and 2 meks. That's my 1k list, so there will be a few upgrades and maybe a warboss to take it to 1500.

Heyo, if you two don't mind me barging myself in I'd be more than up for Sunday too (I would the 6th but it happens to be my birthday). Of cource if three's a crowd I completely understand though, having done three player games a lot I know it gets a lot less tactical and a lot more fluster-clucky ^^

I'm a amature player who can match up to about 1500 points with Khorne Daemonkin. Up for other weekends after the 7th too! Was looking for games in Notts about a month ago but went on hobby hiatus with Christmas so it would be good to get back into the swing of things again.

More the merrier!
I'm not playing on the Sunday itself, just helping carry, so I can certainly get a game in. And yeah, up for any time. I just can't do two weekends in a row, as it's not fair on the OH.

Btw your sidebar says Derbyshire, whereabouts? I'm in Chesterfield.

Oh I see, maybe next time I should read all the posts rather than just lazily skim them so you guys are playing Saturday and Sunday your carrying models up for a freind but not playing?

Being my birthday Saturday is a bit sketchy for me but I might have the afternoon, I'll find out what's happening, if anything ( D; )

I'm in Ilkeston, more of less smack bang between Notts and Derby Buttery Just a bus trip and a walk for me.

Yes, I'm a glorified porter on Sunday. So I only really need to be there at the beginning and end. The middle I'm good to play.

No sweat on the Saturday, I likely won't be staying after JamesY heads off, as it keeps the peace at home if I'm early.

I see, so you might have time between porting duties for a game Sunday? :3 That would work for me atleast. What's got you stuck carrying anyhow?

Oh definitely.

And moving/carrying and setting up two 15-20k point armies.
My friends are somewhat more invested in 40k than I am.

Wow. That will be a sight. What armies they playing? Suprised you'd want to step away from that to play a (comparatively) tiny game on the side ^^

But, from me expect hordes of charging Bloodletters, a Daemonprince flapping around in the sky and possibly just a few black legionnaires to provide SOME cowardly ranged support.

It'll be good to see daemons on the table.

They play Imperial and Tau. And the reason I want to distance myself is I spend most of the time stopping them from killing each other in real life. They are both nice guys, but bicker endlessly.

If I ask questions, it's because I'm basically saying "Why?" as I'm learning. If they do, it's because they think it's wrong. If I wasn't playing you, I'd be in the bar.

Ah Yhea I think you've mentioned this elsewhere before, it's a shame but I have to confess it sounds a BIT like my old group too, it was like a salt mine of bickering when we used to meet up, but I like to think it was friendly/fun bickering ^^

I'll jot the date on my calendar then! 1500pts, you thinking starting at about 11am if you're helping your freinds or later? I have no clue about game types so you can decide if you like ^^

They're good people, honestly. But they do bring out bad arguments.

1500 is fine by me, but bear in mind I have no flyers or anti air before you load up. I don't mind a few difficult targets, my only flier is a single plane that doesn't hold a full squad of people and has one laser gun. I tend to leave it at home.

Don't worry I have 0 fliers, unless you count a winged daemon prince Just never been part of my play style. I have no doubt a flier would screw my army hard to think of it...

Still. Leave it at home.

Although it seems you guys have already organised something, I can be at WHW for the 6th or 7th. Even if not for a game it would be good to meet some local gamers as I'm still fairly new to getting (back) into 40k.

I've got no problem with you introducing yourself on the sat morning, it'll be the first time I've met buttery off forum as well. I'd offer to have another game after, but much like my opponent, I like to get home earlier to avoid a whole different kind of battle later on...

Generally speaking, I play in school holidays, which are the following week. If we get on we can try for a game then?

That sounds good to me. I should be able to make wednesday nights and weekends. But I'm easy on times so I can work around you if it helps avoid aggro.
