Thanks to Mathew Daves for adding this article to his blog, Power Armoured Metal...

It will be a great help in encouraging further recruitment to the Campaign!

There is also a sneak preview of my Imperial Fists in there!

Something wicked this way comes...

I've been in discussions with an acquaintance of mine from the Tempus Fugitives. The discussion involves a great deal of planning and secrecy but in the long run will see the Animosity Campaign Weekend supported and strengthened.

I won't be giving anything away as we're playing our cards close to our chest but be assured that the proposals we are coming up with will be in the best interests of everybody attending and hoping to attend the Animosity Campaign.

What does any of this mean?

- With immediate effect tickets are no longer for sale.
- There will not be a price increase in the future, when tickets do return for sale it will still be at £20.
- Those persons who have bought tickets, your ticket is still valid.
- The changes we are intending to make will not affect the Campaign Pack, the projects you have undertaken or the army lists you have thus far built.
- The hold on tickets is temporary and they will be available once more sometime in October.

In the meantime feel free to PM me with any questions regarding the Campaign Weekend.

Thanks for your understanding in this matter. Please bare in mind this is only a temporary cessation for tickets, the Campaign is still going to go ahead and there is no need for anybody to worry about the Campaign taking place.

T a da for now...

Hi, its Matt here.

Thanks for the mention, and I hope you all liked the article. More articles might come if I'm able to attend with the Thousand Sons. Once funding and access to a press-hat is confirmed that is (no guarantee on the hat)

Hi, just an update from me. Although I didn't get the grades my university course wanted I still got a place, so it doesn't look like I'll be able to attend, which is a shame (I also have a Necron army so that would have been useful). That said, when the term dates are released I'll have a double check but it's looking doubtful. Hope you all have a good time though.

If you find that you can attend Matthew that will be good, hopefully we'll have plenty of dramatic incidents we can recap on!

If you can't find a suitable hat I will, just remember wearing it across the weekend is "mandatory, reapeat... mandatroy"

I'm like a broken record!

Remember, Offensive and Defensive lists will be in use depending upon the narrative thread your Task Force is led down. A 1500 point force will be augmented with one or the other therefore both should be made available on the weekend. The role you will play will be determined after Game 1 results have been collated!

In other news, I've been working on my Imperial Fists Command Structure as Lysander on his own, thought awesome-sauce, may need some back up on Apocalypse Sunday!

Can someone point me in the direction of the kill team rules for game one so I can start seeing how little Eldar 400 points is

Cheers

Hey Farseer, the Kill Team game we are playing is not the same as the game featured in Battle Missions. we're playing a standard 40k rules game over 40 minutes. The force org is featured in the Campaign Pack! I thing it along the lines of, no HQ, no vehicles... Monsterous Creatures and walkers are okay! Best to clarify with the pack though.

@ SpiritOfKantor,
your lists are looking good but I think Terms with their 2+ arnour saves are a no go for the 1st 400pt game. Thants the way I read the pack anyhow.
Please correct me if im wrong.

Nah that's my understanding to.

Nothing with a better standard save than power armour, and no hq pretty much rules out anything better than a 3+

I hadn't read that, I thought it read that, oops, back to the drawing board. Could I have a fast attack option? Did it say no vehicles too? So now I'm thinking 3 squads of assault marines with jump packs, 5 men in each or if vehicles are allowed then storm talon too or devastation squad.
Having just read it again, I'll go for dreadnought and jump troops, this will cover fast movement, close combat and ranged weapons from the dreadnought.

Just a quick note for the Chaos types out there...

The rules for the Daemon Primarchs in all their 40k glory, formerly available from the Tempus Fugitives, are currently unavailable. The Tempus Fugitives are currently updating their Age of the Emperor Expansion. The new rules for the Daemon Primarchs will be available again sometime in the near future.

Ta da for now...
