You should have posted the other day I'd have come say hello!

@Kantor... bought some mk4 FW marines to bolster my next tac squad and the gday mini to be their serg! Lots of painting it will be worth it!

What's the situation with painted models, do they have to be fully painted?

In an ideal world everybody would be hunched double at there desks painting, when not at the gaming table rolling their dice. In reality life gets in the way too much and it would be daft to expect every army and every miniature to be fully painted. What I would say is that I'd like the smaller games to feature fully painted miniatures, after all the forces involved aren't going to be an unmanigible scale. The apocalypse game lends itself to the vagueries of life so as long as the majority of miniatures are painted and the remainder base coated, what more can I ask? I may add some disadvantages into the campaign rules for miniatures that aren't at least base coated. Undercoated only or bare miniatures, to a lot of people at events like this, can be seen as lazy and disrespectful. Me, I feel that narrative games really need painted miniatures as they have more character than their unpainted brethren, lending the potential heroics they achieve a greater standing in the memories of the players involved.

3 Days!

I am striving to get them painted but I am my own worst enema!

I have just bought a landraider achilies and a relic contemptor dreadnought!

Tsk, more painting.

Ha ha, your own worst enema? You sure. Granted a bad enema would be truly awful but surely no worse than a normal one? Just nesting. Just tickled me. Don't worry about the painting- currently 0 troops painted, big stuff is getting there, but the rest will follow.
Righty Ho, news for everyone- geordie09 himself has text me and asked to make you all aware that his computer has just fried itself- or some sort of computer issues. Don't worry though apparently big news is on its way by all accounts. It's getting close and I'm getting excited! Roll on December!

Hey dudes... Important Update!!!

Tickets for Animosity - In the Discordia System are Available NOW! (again) http://www.eye-of-the-storm.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=ind_evt_tkt_40k_002_000

Maelstrom Games has renamed the gaming hall, The Eye of the Storm, I hope it does not cause too much confusion!

Onto the other stuff...

The campaign pack has been fiddled with a little, hopefully streamlining one or two small sections. Whether its the final draft yet or not, only time will tell.

I can happily announce that, with the permission of the Tempus Fugitives, Animosity will be running a pre-heresy event. Animosity - In the Age of the Emperor - The Ullanor Crusade, will take place on the weekend of the 30th and 31st of March 2013. Details of this event will be filtered out as we close upon Discordia with the campaign pack being released in December, after the inaugural campaign weekend. Thanks to Ulfhedin of the Tempus Fugitives for being gracious enough to allow us to use the Age of the Emperor Expansion wholesale to co-ordiante the event and for his sterling efforts creating the expansion too. If you'd like to see what all the fuss is about head over to the Tempus Fugitives site... http://www.tempusfugitives.co.uk/

We can also announce that 2013 will se two additional Campaign Weekends. In July we will be hosting, Animosity - In the Novacastrian Hegemony and November will see (the one I'm most looking forward too) Animosity - In the Heart of the Harbinger! What's the Harbinger? Those attending Discordia will get a teasing insight!

Hopefully over the next week or two I will be able to give you some positive news regarding the Animosity Painting Competition that will be conducted during the Discordia weekend... keep your eyes on the thread for an update on that one.

I would like to thank VoxNet Radio, for agreeing to aid the promotion of the Campaign Weekends... heres a link to their site where you can discover for yourself just what I mean... http://voxnetradio.com/

I think thats about it. Thanks to Sar Mikael for, well, just being him...

Remember, get your gaming friends to come along. Keep me informed about what forces you are taking so I can adequately plan the narrative, and I'll see you at the gaming tables!

The Age of the Emperor Event has a small and provisional Campaign Pack available in the first post now... early I know but I felt the basics needed to be put out early!

Hope you like whats in store.

Don't forget to grab your Discorida tickets as soon as you can please... It'll really help the narrative if I know earlier rather than later who's bringing what too!

Hi all

Campaign Weekend ticket has been bought, frantic painting and terrain building must now start. I'vr got around 5.5K of Eldar and am hoping to borrow some from my brother so there should be some Eldar mercs available.

Cheers

TheFarseer

You can incorporate them into your apocalypse army Farseer, don't forget its two lists, 4k and upwards of 4k incase we can incorporate bigger games!

The merc situation is in flux, there are so many things to do right now that the situation with them may be altered so don't worry about the loaning of mini's for mercs anymore dude!

No worries, I'm starting to work on list creating now. Does the 1500 point list have to be the same for all 3 games?

Also I've built my own Asurman, am I ok to use him? He's got the wargear as per the codex.

Game 3 and 4 should use the same 1500 point army, but game 2 is structured differently. For game 2 you need to make up a 1500 point force and them make 2, 300 point additional forces dependant upon the role you will take dictated by the narrative elements. 300 points should be defensive, using fortifications and stuff and 300 points should be allocated for offensive, to break the fortifications of your opponent if you're attacking! So for game 2 you should have an 1800 point force on the table. The 1500 points used in game two does not need to be the same as the 1500 points in games 3+4.

Of course you can use your conversion dude, as long as your opponent is aware that the miniature represents Asurman. If you're confident of your conversions aesthetic qualities you can enter him into the conversion competition too!

Hey dudes... Time is ticking on (I've got so much to do yet...). Sometime between now and the end of November (the sooner the better really though) if those of you who have bought tickets could send me finalised army lists, I can begin the process of tallying up and tying story lines together!

If you are yet to purchase a ticket, please do so soon! The more time i have to prepare the narrative the better it will be for all!

Do you want lists for each game? I've bought my ticket, should I expect a physical ticket through?

As far as i am aware i'll be emailing tickets to the email addresses provided to eye of the storm on purchase! Hopefully nobody has selected any postage options when purchasing as i'm there is nothing to post at this point in time!

Yes, a break down of each force, you'll also need a copy on the day for your opponent to take a look at prior to the games and one for your own benefit of course!

i better get number crunching then, now that ive got the new dex.

Hey dudes, my access to the internet is intermittent and sporadic at best... I need your help to maintain the drive for campaign players!

Whether its your friends, associates, gaming club or even just chaps in the gw store... Invite them to attend and if you get chatting to folks on dakka, ask them if they fancy coming.

Thanks for the help dudes, hopefully my access issues will be sorted soon and i can continue to speed up the process of planning the event!

Ta da for now

I will provide you with lists this weekend and will purchase tickets too. I am trying to talk a friend in to coming with his IG. Keep you posted on that.

My wife just bought me storm talon number 2 for my birthday!

Cool, i'm waiting on bits to try and build my own version of a caestus assaulty ram, our flying fisting circus should be quite large come the apocalypse!

Theres always room for more men in the meat grinder that is our guard task force!

here be my army lists for the first 2 games. tell me if ive gone wrong anywhere people!



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also ive got 2 different lists for game 3 and 4, would this be an issue? (couldnt find it in the campaign pack), or would the fact that its the same army help with the narrative of the weekend??

Due to my ongoing issues with computers i cant' see your lists yet mikael, but game 3 and 4 should use the same 1500 point army for single and doubles game!

okay dokey, ill get almagamating and thinning out the list then!! poo. dont care- still having a storm eagle!!!! yeah thats right!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah..............................ha.

Hey dudes. As is always the way when you try to arrange anything, be it a 40k Narrative Campaign weekend, a birthday party or a stag do... people have a habit of letting you down, some of them without even being polite enough to let you know or to inform you that they can't attend.

With this in mind I have removed the provisional attendance list as trying to organise task forces around people promises to attend was a complete waste of time.

I will add players to the attendance list once they have confirmed with me that they ae attending. Those that have already confirmed will be added to the list when I get a bit more time on my side.

I really want to have a proper rant about it but should have known it would happen really.

Anyway, those who have, are about to and will buy their tickets. Thanks dudes. I appreciate you putting your faith in me for our first event.

If you've decided that your going to go to Warhammer World to play in their one day Kill Team day, not bothered to tell me, but plastered it all over facebook (which I can see by the way), you can get f****d.

phhoooo, now that that is off my chest... the narrative tree is starting to grow and is looking very interesting! It's such a shame that results will mean some of the more interesting threads may not even happen, it all depends on how your games go...

Nukearts are providing a kick ass first prize for the painting competition, remember, you'll have to be in it to win it, as with all the other comps too!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

That'll do for now I reckon.

Ta da for now.

Hey all!

I just want to say a massive well done to Scott for setting up this and all future events, when someone says one person can really make a difference this is your proof,

Scott has come up with an amazing idea and has managed to get so seriously cool companies involved, we at VoxNet Radio are super chuffed to be able to sponsor this event, if we could be there on the day we would but were going to everything we can to get this noticed and forward moving.

some come on all, get that army together, buy your ticket and make this event something to go down in the history of Terra. We want your photo's stories and battle reports, we might not be able to make it but we are damn sure to cover it the best we can ;-)

The emperor protects!

Well I am looking forward to it. I have been trading, buying and begging for months now. My battle group has grown somewhat and now includes a relic contemptor (pics by weds) and an achiles land raider. The relic is my favourite boasting magnetised arms with a version of every weapon available including a missile pod.

The base is my crowning glory, he has one foot squashing an ard boy surrounded by industrial girders and wire. You will see in the pics in a few days.

The wife completed the bike squad and bought me a second stormtalon for my birthday! She is the best wife ever! (Even though she calls me geek boy where gaming is concerned).

Geordie09 I will be attending. I am going to purchase tickets for me and Ben next Friday (pay day) so keep me on the list please, I'd let you know if I wasn't gonna make it.

Bring it on!

Thanks dudes...

This is my 1000th post on dakka!

In July 2013 what will hopefully be our third event, Animosity - In the Novacastrian Hegemony, will take place. I am running a charity event between now and then to culminate on the weekend. For the details and how to participate, follow this link...

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/483676.page

It's going to be for a good cause so please help out dudes!

Quick question before I post army list later today, can we use forgeworld models? I am assuming that we can as long as they have the 40k stamp in the IA books.

Yes of course, there's no problem with that.
