Can i take a moment to thank those people on dakka, who've contributed to the thread or simply viewed it. Unlike other forums, "ahem, warseer" nobody has felt the need to stick the knife in, or accuse me and the Animosity event of being in cahoots with some dude whos sent Maelstrom down the pan! It seems the haters continue to hate... everybody! Whether they've a reason or not. Its quite silly.

There have been some dissapointing times organising this, our first event, but thankfully none of them have been perpetrated by the people who read and post on this thread! For that, thank you.

Hope your game goes okay kantor... I'm gona need some mega 6th edition practise if im to squeeze a game into 40 minutes on day one!

I'm fairly up on the rules for marines so ill guide you. Gona bang out a 40 minute game tonight. Should be interesting.

Its checking new rules mid game thats going to slow me down!

I think some bed time reading may be in order.

Already started reading mine of an evening. I'm up to morale, don't tell me how it ends though, I want to be surprised.

Realised I needed to read it when I asked for a last man standing check, which has been in for a few editions

I'm going to make a crib sheet of all the special rules that apply to each squad and when to use them for the day. Sad but useful!

Victory for the crimson damned! Played against a 43 strong chaos force. 40 minutes up and I have lost 6 marines to 36 chaos marines or cultists.

Taking a special rule on 3 models was good, took will not die!

Hey dudes!

Due to some unforseen circumstance we've lost two Orks recently... If there are anymore out there who want to join bignick for the Discordia Waaagh then get in touch and join us there...

Big Nick's Waaargh!

Check out the finished Crimson Damned on my blog!

It’s not a proper fight unless there’s loads of killin. Only the weak ones die, the strong just get more scars!!! The Crimson Fists should know that.

Now now gentlemen... I can see a rynns world grudge match in your near future, have faith in that!

I'm really looking forward to thisevent and a clasic match up will just add to the fun. I just need to ramp up the painting now, I've still got loads to do.
Do we have an idea of the numbers who have signed up yet?

Do we have an idea of the numbers who have signed up yet? - As things developed over the months, going back to March when I started to plan things, we had 35 players signed up at one stage and looked like maybe more. Unfortunately a great deal of that was hot air, some having no intention of coming, some having the obscure aspects of life kick them in the balls and some just disappearing into, oh I don't know, the Eye of Terror (a***holes). At the minute we could definitely do with some more players but if they don't materialize we will still have enough players to make the story threads cool and I can assure you that nobody will play the same faction twice (unless the story lends itself towards it) or indeed the same player!

Hopefully this will inspire further recruitment rather than deter people who are looking in from the outside! It will be good, and the more players that attend the better it will be!

Sooooo can't wait now! Storm talon 2 is next to be completed.

Just finished my Storm Raven this morning, got a lot to do to make sure everything is sorted for the Campaign so I may not get a full battle company together in time! Will still have plenty of yellow to hammer the enemy though!

I have finnished off the first Dakka jet and roped in my son to help with the remaining Deffkopters.

Just go hold of some old style las cannons from an old land raider, probably 15 year old and as good as new! Gonna use them for my talon, scratch building tonight!

This one's for you and the animosity goers. Nuke began work on the prize mini today, decided stock miniature is not prizey or display enough. And has decided to work an an awesome display diorama, starring an Imperial Fist and an unfortunate Daemon Prince. Strictly WIP of course, this is just a mock up of the pose, green stuff work to come! I believe the idea of painting some yellow for a change has gone to Nuke's head

Yeees!

Hey Geordie

Just wanted to drop in and say all the best with the tourna- *ahem* I mean narrative campaign weekend, of course. Judging from what I've seen and read on this thread, I'm sure the participants/victims (delete as applicable) will ensure it's a memorable event!

It sounds like everyone who is going to be involved is well up for it and I'm gutted that I wasn't able to sign up (my 11th legion were not amused, although I suspect that has a lot to do with the fact that they are, for the most part, lying in dismembered sections on the chopping board, awaiting reassembly).

Your banana army is looking pretty dang awesome, and I'm liking the orks and Eldar I've seen so far. And Nukearts look like they've got something going there...

I'm gonna try and spread the word to some mates and a couple of clubs, in order to recruit more cannon fodder for your weekend of extreme friendliness to xeno filth...

All the best!

Yours,

Mr. Monkey Brains

Thanks dude.

All the support is very welcome. Hopefully we'll get a few more names down before the event kicks off!

I'll be in touch once its all over!

Its imperative that we know who (and what army they are bringing) is coming to the event in order to make the narrative elements thoroughly encompassing! If folk leave it too late to buy their ticket then it risks the day being a bit shambolic!

I sooo want to win that, good job I've got 2 weeks to get Asurmen painted. Is it 1 model into the competition or can we submit a unit?

For Conversions its single minature, but to win that bad boy in the painting competition it is anything you like as long as it aint a super heavy... so single minis vs units vs vehicles if thats what people choose to submit!

Does anybody think it would be inapproproate for me to enter, as its a vote by those in attendance I can't influence nor fiddle the results...

Yeah!

If you can't then I've more chance!


Only kidding. I have no objections. As long as I have a pint in my hand ill be happy.

@Kantor - They were originally going to make it the standard Crimson Fist 25th Anniversary paint job, which would have been right up your street I guess. They decided to go with an Imperial Fists livery as Nuke is sick of painting blues...

@Farseer - got your list dude, thank you. Great job, tasty forces!

@Everybody else - Please get your tickets as soon as you can, and get your friends to join us!
