Subject: ANIMOSITY Campaign Weekend - NECRONS AND TAU, WE NEED YOU!
Hi, this is the battle group. There are still some things to paint but the core is done.
I appologise for the quality of the video, it was done with my phone. So if you are tempted to bitch about the quality then don't, it is neither needed or welcomed.
I will post images later of the individual models I have recently finished such as the honour guard and the librarian but the movie doesn't do them or any of the models justice. I created this purely to demonstrate the force as a whole.
enjoy.

I can't wait until we roll out for the Apocalypse Game!
Hopefully there will be some others with the capability to field as large a force on the Sunday!
Remember people, if you can field more than the minimum requirement, bring more than the minimum requirement!
If you can field it, BRING IT!

It's been a slow week this week in the run up to the Dark Vengeance Box Set being released!
I dare say with my holiday looming it'll be a quiet September on the thread too. Once Games Day has been and gone we will be in the final stretch... I hope everybody's going to be ready!
If this event is successful, which with your support it will be, how would people feel about the second event being Heresy Era?
I'm not talking FW's new series but the Age of the Emperor rules created by the Tempus Fugitives! (They're much more comprehensive and incorporate all the Legions, not piece meal money filter legions that GW will tease us with!)
I've a few ideas to roll on but would like some feedback from folks...
at the bottom to the right! They're in a state of transition to conform to 6th ed at the minute!
The best thing about the Age of the Emperor is that it allows you to play Heresy Era games. It incorporates the rules for all the Chapters and Primarchs of the era...
The worst thing about the Age of the Emperor is that it could prove to be a turn off for many players as it is restricted to the founding Legions. This means folks without a founding legion 40k army would be starting from scratch. Not always a problem, I did a pre-heresy World Eaters army but always had this gaming supplement in mind.
Xenos factions can be involved but Chaos (unless it is after Istvaan) are represented solely by daemons (after istvaan the marine factions are still not the twisted eye of terror dudes we know in 40K).
The campaign weekends prime link to the hive mind, Ben Crowther, is involved in an epic (the adjective not the gaming system) charity apocalypse event on the 28th and 29th of September! Why is it epic, because its a charity 24 hour apocalypse marathon!
The effort is to help raise fund for Derian House Childrens Hospice, more info for which can be found here... http://www.derianhouse.co.uk/
The event is taking place in Great Harwood, Blackburn!
Some of the details I am aware of, 4000pts min to 6000pts max. Start at 7pm Friday 28th and finish 7pm Saturday 29th. There is food and potentially beer for those that partake!
I believe attendance requires a charitable donation but I'm sure Ben can fill in the gaps!
Just had a woopin' at he hands of one of the bens tyranids! He has just spent £130 on monstrous bugs! Damn him! It's very true that nids do better in smaller point games than larger point games.
Need to think tactically now. For all those animosity players you have a tough hive fleet to battle. Between the two of them they have nearly 16,000 points of the critters!
Hey guys, I realise I'm new among you but I attended a get together at Maelstrom with another Forum and its is still to this day the best weekend of my life. I'm sure I can make this so with all due respect, sign me up
Dave

Matthew is our journalist (The Press) and is hoping the attend the weekend. Looking at his impressively painted flyers for the Thousand Sons and his other mini's I'd love to see these miniatures grace the table tops of the Discordia Campaign. they look pretty sweet!

Thats great mate. Keep your eyes open on the forum, and for my email update on the 1st of October!
Made it to games day, only a little late. 140 miles from Gatwick to the NEC in less than 1 hour 30 minutes! Had a great day (thanks Mikael). Came second in the Conversion Competition... yay!
Positives + Conversion Comp, Catching up with Mikey, Pre-release books, the Games Day mini being £12 and not £20, the FW Heresy Stuff... especially the massive World Eater Diorama, the shop queue which they got spot on this time round, my flags back to the union, and the toon won 1 nil.
Negatives - Missed out on Angron (went very quickly), Missed out on WE Mk4 shoulder pads (the same), The NEC staff running the queue to get in, Chaos Dragon thing... I didn't like it before, I defo don't like it now (5 quid more for a chaos hellblade, easy choice there then), if not for the poor glue/plastic bond these days I'd have come first in conv comp... thats legit!
Keep your eyes on the thread for the 01/10 update dudes!
