Well that would be up to you, it doesn't need to effect the rules, although you could have an elite unit riding something more ferocious than the standard chaps

What about bikes? You don't really get ferocious bikes!

Lol well I think mark wanted it to be a horse and cold one style rough rider unit.
Looking at the seige of Vraks book you get the option to have a rough rider command unit with three levels of officer, junior senior and heroic, what would people opinions be on increasing the points cost of the heroic officer and adding a special rule 'allows rough rider/death riders to be taken as a troop choice'
That would then leave you with the standard siege army list from vraks 1,

I'm more than happy with that. I really want to see this take to the animosity table tops at some stage so I'll say yes to owt probably!

No objections from me. I think it would look really cool and add to the feel of the weekend, after all we’re playing a bit of a “mish- mash” of 30k/40k rules as it is. Point wise, based on the cost of the equivalent characters, Wazdakka, Kor’sarro Kahn and Sammael ect about 50 points on top of the base cost of the leader to be able to take riders as troops should be fare.

Here is a link to the cool KILL ZONE rules I mentioned in an earlier post.

http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?25052-Special-Operations-Killzone-6th-ed-Beta-available-40k-skirmish-game

There is also a special download for selecting your codex force but I'm not sure that will be necessary.

If you take a look at the pack, let me know what you think and whether we should maybe tweak here or there for our needs before I commit it to the next event pack.

The kill zone game is only one game for that weekend, we will be playing other standard 40k type games as ever. If the logistical issues of Discordia prove to be ironed out for Ullanor, we'll squeeze an Apocalypse game in on the Sunday again if that is what is preferred.

So take a look and be inspired!

Sadly I doubt we can get it built for this game but as long as the rules are going to be allowed we shall have to see what we can do

July would be good! (unsubtle hint... again) It wouldn't be suitable for November though...

Taking a look through the Kill Zone pack and there are a lot of things I will be removing for our purposes as they won't be necessary but if you see anything you like or dislike its open for debate.

I need to trim a lot in order to fit it into a campaign pack so we'll be using the basics and a few special bits but that is all.

Is Kill Zone basically Kill teams but with more rules?

When I played Kill teams, we trended to make it narrative lead, ie 4+ the Gk leaps to the next building to face the Ork Nob (granted has to be in normal movement range to start with).

(Battle of Balaclava might be a good starting point for the RR army. I think we make it a long term project if you got a special event for Nov, the eldar are currently priority still I had them since 15 and still not painted them )

so what is happening in november?
worries me that i am going to spend the rest of my life building entirely new armies for every animosity event lol

Lol - Matt I think you just actually painting what you own

Plus - it be the preheresy game (guessing), therefore you need to sort out your SW or Death Guard

You won't need a new army for november, just a select few dudes! I'll have a word with an associate of mine and see if we can't get some info out in the next week or two! It will be a kill zone derived force but there is a major caveate which will make things extremely interesting!

Yeah, kill zone is kill team with a few extra rules but allows for better and more selective unit choices and conversion opportunities! I'll have an animosity version of the rules in draft form in a week i hope!

I'm thinking of trying to add a massive apoc weekend to our schedule! If anybody has seen the mini-wargaming apocalypticon, think that, only us and not mwg! I'll only be able to do it if we can guartantee interest though so let me know what you think! Will not really be narrative, just good vs evil and huge!

Apoc weekend sounds good! Dont tell Matt, he will get too excited!

well a nice little break for kill zones in november will mean i can get to work on building up some other army more i guess,

As to a huge apocalypse game, i presume you mean to make it a 2 day single event? if so i am definitely up for that as long as we have some time to get stuff ready, not sure when would fit towards the end of the year i guess????

Will have to get my reaver painted i guess

It will probably be thrown into our schedule for december or january so plenty of time to work out specifics and stuff. It'll be a bring what you've got kind of thing with the only rule that way being to stick to good or evil with your forces!

just seen marks post and i am excited i just want time to get as much painted as possible!!!!!!

important question if we are keeping it good vs evil i presume traitor guard and tyranids would work????

Nids! Release the big critters!

(you think demon Prince Angron would want to come out to play?)

Yeah, that won't be an issue! They is both evil types!

I basically want to try an annual mega massive apocalypse event which means ditching narrative and playing across two days! I've already determined i will be playing imp fists/imp guard/dark angels/flesh tearers (if i get them painted up ever) and if i can ever get it finished, my imperator! So i reckon 15,000 for me if not more!

Will work out a reasonable total for each side and then folks will say, i'm bringing 10k, then I'll take the 10k off the total and so on! I want to aim high and see if we can exceed the mwg total but they do have massive fan base and folks fly across america to pitch in!

I wonder if World eaters would be able to agree with Nids there need the skulls and the nids can keep the rest of the bio material...

does mean i need more blazen orange,,,,

lol well i have reaver, warhound, bio-titan, brass scorpion, baneblade, shadowsword, stormlord,
so thats 5250
then my standard traitor guard army, whatever i get painted of nids and chaos space marines to go in with them as well,
pretty sure i can get a fairly decent amount to bring along

See, we've got an event already! I'll get in touch with (im and see when we can schedule it at the end of the year or start of next!

lol - anyone reading this thread is going to be so confused what is going on

I don't think anybody else reads it to be honest... I think people only come to the events because i pursue them across the internet until they say yes!

I love how easily i am distracted, i really need to get the orks done, then its going to be Eldar for june.
Then hopefully some sort of break for the november thing whilst getting more evil stuff ready for the apocalypse game.

well thats the next years worth of painting planned out then lol

Suppose nothing better than a private thread for chats

Doesn't really work on here though! Also, turn up in june and you'll be pretty lonely!

july?

Yup! Ha

june/july i never even remember which way round they are lol

so what sort of points are you thinking for november? are we talking a squad of termies or 5 scouts lol

Oh, too close! I'm keeping schtum for now!
