Its all gone a little quiet here... Hopefully everybody is still enthused about the upcoming weekend. The new narrative I've developed should keep our existing pre-heresy players on their toes as well as allowing the other races to participate fully!

Don't worry fella I'm well up for it!
can you just conferm that we only need to bring a 1K Blitz force for the first game and a standard 2K army to play the other 5 games?

Nick that's the score! Don't forget, if time permits we can play an evening tournament gladiator arens thing too. Also, the competitions, though not now for Ullanor, are still a go so painting and converting competitions can still be won!

If you want to enter Ullanor specific stuff then feel free to enter them, its just a case of not entering them at ullanor in november is my concern with that!

As a brief aside to the preparations for the impending assault this weekend, I've cobbled together a signature banner for A N I M O S I T Y that links to the forum. If anyone wants to use it, copy the following HTML code into the signature box on your profile:

<a href="http://www.animosity40k.proboards.com"><img src="http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/083/5/d/animosity___banner_1_4_by_chilledmonkeybrains-d5z4ahc.png"></img></a>

And if anyone is feeling especially nice, here's the code to include the D R E A D H U L K banner link as well:

Laters

well hopefully the banner will appear below,
Scott stop worrying we are all still excited just frantically trying to get stuff finished lol.

Banner done, just 9 boyz and 3 Nobz to paint and it's all good. Looking forward to throwing some dice at the weekend. Oh and the odd beer as well!

Hey dudes.

Despite the rescheduling, I figured I'd unveil Animosity - The Ullanor Crusade Campaign Pack (that will be presented to players upon their arrival in November) now. Hopefully it will help to keep the eager anticipation up for our first pre-heresy event. November the 9th and 10th are dates for your diary... especially those Orks out there!

And here is another gander at Animosity - Orks, our Expansion kit for the greenskins... and their GARGANTS!

Both of these can be found in our forum, linked in the sig box below... or in the opening post of this humongous thread!

Right - only got 10 back packs and basing to do (oh and some highlighting on the terminators - Matt what did you do before!)

Is anyone staying in Mansfield? Thinking I should make an extra character or two for the bar room fight!

Tactical squad and havoc squad left for me! Starting to hate pink and gold. Damn it.

I'll defo be hanging around... won't be staying there once the evening is done though.

trying to think what i want to take for the bar room brawl,

I'm brawling with...

CSM khorne lord
SM imperial fists captain

Choice 3 is still to be confirmed!

Ah Nick - your list is scaring me atm lol!

I'm sure there was a comment somewhere, maybe a few months back, about the lack of green tides... I think 20 man boyz units dispels that!

Yeah it making me wonder if I need to relook at my lists

I know some one *cough Matt Cough* running a killa kanz list so kinda geared up for that !

Variety is the spice of life... and you never know what your going to come up against!

well my list was worked around the easiest way to build a 2k ork army with the smallest number of models,

my blitz list is (roughly i am at work so just of top of my head)

Dakkajet with extra SS fighta ace
2X Burna bomma with all the extra rockets
20 stormboys with nob-PK
Flakka truck


my 2k list

Mekka dread with shunta and KFF
12 spanna boyz in truck
CC Deff dread
CC deff dread
3 killa kans- grotzooka, burna, missle
3 killa kans- grotzooka burna shoota
lifta wagon
big trak with flakka gun
mega dread

allies
wazdakka
9 bikers
dakka jet extra SS fighta ace


Thats probably about right with some small changes based on making the points add up,

Waaarrrgh! nice to see IA8 getting a run out. It also looks like the Okrs will be well represented. Cool!

Mmmmm lots of Land Raiders might not been the best plan lol!

3k games instead

Looking forward to "test" palnning my WE again! Might try to make my 2nd list alot different to experiment with lists!

Not sure that beastmen is entirely in fitting with the Imperiums anti-mutant policies... Rough Riders however!!!

I am hoping November will see at least one Luna Wolves player turn up so we can have Horus represented! You could always do Luna Wolves allis to fill the Horus sized hole in my Ullanor Crusade plans...


IMPORTANT NEWS FOR THE WEEKEND...

We have some guests returning for those who are yet to experience an Animosity Weekend!

Thanks for the pick llamafish,

Oh bollocks those little fethers better stay away from my walker army!

beastmen can work for post heresy perfectly,

and scott you will be pleased to know i have ordered my first 5 rough riders,

The Boys with the silly jetpacks are here!



I going to have to find an Ewok picture everytime the little sods are mentioned right?

Morning guys!

What time are things starting on Saturday morning?

I'll post my two lists later today; my 2000pt list is a Squat Guard (counting as IG) light tank company* with Chimeras and of course the airships/Vendettas!

G.

* guess who's been reading Flames of War briefings this week...

PS -I'll try and bring the work-in-progress Squat Fandex for you too!

If you can get there for 9 Graham that would be great. We'll be trying to kick off between 930 and 10 and hopefully no delays.

Llamafish, your world eaters are looking good. I'll get posting my emp c soon, just finished my tactical squad about 10 minutes ago. Just 5 havoks now and the late arrival jump packs for my ass squad! Then, Erm start making army lists! Ooh Er.

Thanks Sar! I got to give Matt/Vaksrebel a big thanks for getting me going on the scheme/method! I hate painting but doing this army for the event really has changed that a little

Had a practise game with my Squat Guard last night, and managed to comprehensively beat off a Tzeentch Chaos incursion. Very happy! In fact, it was the Squat's very first victory, and only my third win of 6th edition. So let's hope that bodes well for the Imperial forces in the Veiled Region this weekend!
