Well you have to understand I get really bored at work so I sit and work out army lists or paint schemes or try to take over the earth you know what ever strikes my fancy lol.
As to plans for next year, the pre heresy thing is growing incredibly fast, with forgeworld churning out the models more and more people are making amazing armies so I wouldn't worry too much, but that said if there is a real need for zeno armies etc you can run almost anything as mark said by just creating an event in time. Its all made up at some point after all lol.
Other than that there is always ways to work armies into preheresy, Nids could be the megaarachnid on planet murder, Tau could just be a seperatist human/xeno army.
True important events like attack on terra get difficult but just twist the story, have xeno armies fighting marines to keep them from main battle or something like that.

I like the idea of doing something from the scouring... then traitor era marines can play alongside codex chaos etc... a mix of both worlds. Imperial fists clinging on to the era rules next to codex sm ultras and stuff! Also allows for pretty much every other race to get involved "in betveen dem!"

yeah the scouring works as well, but either way most stuff can be worked out if needs be.
You might find that by next year everyone and his dog has a true pre heresy army

We shall see.

Look at us, we're so easily distracted!

MARCH... its too close! I'll never get everything done at this rate!

lol yeah its way to easy to start wandering off into hobby butterfly mode.
i havent done any painting this week so far really need to crack on this weekend and get back on track.

Mate, you need to organise events which fit in with your painted collection and avoid all the stress!

Agreed! I think i'll be imp fists for all future events!

Nice to have some orks though!

see i am using it all to force me to get all my armies painted

My 40k world eaters will never get done at this rate and you'll probably not see them on the Animosity tables at this rate!

Well I planning to use my WE collection in the apolo, march and the scouring events, just so I can just update as I go!

(Scouring event will make me build the demon angron waiting for me in a box.....)

Then that is a go! Next year, scouring!

If its scouring space wolves would still be very much pre heresy so suits me down to the ground lol.

Yes, and with Russ still i believe! Will ha be in your force

Matt got the 1980's model... I myself would disapprove of any non GW primarch

Ok I lied, but Matt just use him

Well as mark said I do have the 1980's model which is quite tempting to use or I might pick up a different one, but Russ will certainly make an appearance in my army

So you going to get the Tsons and SW HH if and when it comes out, plus when is the FW opening day?

Might have some limited SM model for us...

Are they running chronologically? I hope they ramp it up a little as 1 primarch a year is a pretty poor show! Especially if your painting up a heresy legion and you have to wait eighteen years to see the unlucky last one produced! I saw the abaddon mini at games day, wheres he at?

Anybody know anybody or even seen a luna wolves army at all (aside from a google image search), as i would love to see somebody bring Horus to the tabletop!

FW open day is 7th of april i believe, hopefully a few more primarchs are going to come out this year, you would think they would get all the ones out for this book this year but god knows with FW after all.
I would think about getting a space wolf based HH book depending on price and content, if you are going to need to buy the whole run of 75 quid books i suspect i will look elsewhere for rules

Is the open day a ticketed affair?

If its OPEN, as the name suggests I may try to get there, if only to see if they have any decent pre-release black library stuff!

I hope their show miniatures are better than last years... who wants a weedy looking arbite with a dog, after all? It could have been sooo much better! Suppose the wolf was pretty cool in its way though.

MARCH! Got a few of my Ork Nob bikers painted up now... feel a bit better about my progress. Just need to win an ebay auction for something extra special for 'em and I'll be happy!

I take it back... 6 WEEKS LEFT!

Yeah free to get in, the Ltd edition stuff normally has a big que to get too.

Hangovers and FW open days dont mix to well tho

On the 1st expendition forum, one the mods has a Luna Wolves army

lol and yet we still manage to be hungover for the open day every year

How are you two coming on with the rough rider thing by the way?

Well....

Matt found me the places to go get the bits.... but i really cant see it happening soon. I got eldar army to do for the following event, apolo game is just going to be an excuse to paint up the rest of my WE based models and unloved Nids (i hate the latest nid codex, my poor ninja fex...).

Then is the kill teams game, which i did consider using RR, however i think will be eldar, That leaves us at the scouring event, which might see some RR action!

(RR = Rough riders ) Sadly it seems silly to buy a new army when you got some in boxes.... and if I ever get into WHFB i got 3k of orc and dwarves...

I ask as in a few days the Animosity Ork expansion will be magically re-worked by chilledmonkeybrains and look much beTter than my version! I was considering making a whole rough rider expansion to suit... Anyway, i understand the problems at hand with multiple collections so if its a no go at least we'll have a second, cool expansion for people to look at! I've been checking out attilans on ebay see... Had me thinking warm 40k thoughts about deploying an entire cavalry regiment in two rows across a table edge! It would look extremely cool!

Did you get to warhammer world for veteran thingy? I'm trying to think of a way to get more info out to ork players as were starting to look imp top heavy! Haven't been able to limit tickets to ork numbers to maintain balance so it is what it is!

Yeh, with 6wks left, i dont think i can make RR army .

Victoria minatures, curious creations are the best place to look for RR other than FW.

Soo..... me you and matt with a totally RR armies

Its a project for 2014 maybe! Got to get my imperial fists finished this year, and a few little projects before i start anything new! Bonus for me, i have pretty much got the armoured division for any RR force already as my imperial guard army is quite large and extremely tanky!

ebay can be so frustrating! Why do people feel the need to bid at the last minute... if you want it that much, bid you max well in advance that way I know from day one when I put my maximum in straight away that your willing to pay more than me... this way, I don't make wonderful plans in my head about what I will do with the model, I also don't waste an afternoon waiting for the thing to end as you have already scared me off with your ludarous maximum that tops my every offer. But no, you have to wait until the seconds tick down and somehow... somehow, even as it ticks over green for me i still don't win the bidding! GAAARGH! I'll never get my squiggoth conversion sorted at this rate!

What are you trying to get mate? You never know one of us might be able to help

1998 resin model rancor kit. Trying to make a massive Brumak squiggoth. There are ready built toy versions but I really want that particular kit as its pretty big. Almost 14" tall by the descriptions online!

The only two I can find now are in the states and well above what i'm willing to pay. I don't want to have to resprt to the toy version as it will lose detail and make it harder to glue... bloody ebay!

That sucks, well I don't have one of them in stock lol but will keep my eyes peeled

Thanks dude!
