I'll be helping schlepp stuff with Ice.

I was thinking of bringing Silver Tower. Would anyone be down for a game of that?

**RiTides**

Yes

**whalemusic360**

I've been thinking of picking it up, so yeah.

**moonpie**

Rad, I am going to try to get that all painted up. I have all of the cards for all of the heroes. If anyone has a request for a hero, I can look at getting it or tell you if I have it already.

**Gitsplitta**

Great!

**whalemusic360**

No request for hero really. I play melee characters in DnD if that helps.

**RiTides**

Just an update from me on scheduling - I think my family won't be coming for the weekend after all (we have another trip planned and they're too close together) so I'll have basically all evenings available for whatever you lads are up to!

I'll also be looking to recruit a few more Wardens to help at my booth if any of you are up for it during the day

. Not selling anything this year, but unveiling a new product - ModBitz! The booth will be branded for it and everything

and we'll be in the vendor hall proper (which they're doubling in size this year!).

So for hanging at the booth for a half day (or two half days of you have them available) you'll get a free T-shirt and some other future ModBitz swag. We'll just be showing them off and asking for people's emails to sign up for more info

. Let me know if you're interested and I'll likely be getting T-shirt sizes in late Jan / early Feb

as well as giving you a sneak peek of it then!

**Gitsplitta**

Great news! I'm sure we'll find ways to entertain ourselves.

**RiTides**

Really looking forward to it, Gits! I was editing on about the booth above too, I'm hoping to have you and Thing 1 again as you're both simply amazing at talking to folks

**whalemusic360**

I'm sure I'll be hanging out anyways, so I can totally help in the booth. Just the Doubles event with SL on the one day.

**RiTides**

Excellent

. Gits let me know he's in via PM and I think Solar is, too! Really appreciate it and should be fun, too

**whalemusic360**

When are you getting in? You driving?

**RiTides**

Sometime on Wenesday to set up, but I might fly this year... that drive last year was brutal!

**Solar_lion**

of course.. whatever you need. Too bad we won't get to meet the Ritides family, but hopefully they'll make it another year.

You can can use the Reaver and knights at the table if you want some eye candy. If Whale brings the Wahound we'll have a mantiple all from the same legion. We'll be bringing a lot this year. Especially if your flying.

Am Looking forward to getting in as many games as possible. As well as getting my 2 friends more game time being fairly inexperienced players.

Lastly looking forward to taking as many hits defending Whales' Warlord so he can wreck Eldar face. Paint Ramo's Paint!

**RiTides**

Sounds great SL

. I really want to watch your titan event Thursday night if it's okay to tag along!

Also, since I am flying solo I'll be looking for a roommate to split the room! PM me if anyone here is interested

(or knows of someone trustworthy who is going and needs a room).

And I just came up with a 1500 point list so maybe we can pencil a game in for Friday evening Gits

while SL/WM are playing in their evening tourney.

**whalemusic360**

Acastus Knight Porphyrion is available from FW. It even falls under the 500 point mark.

Also its $400. Marginally cheaper than a Warhound.

**RiTides**

Wow, that's the ticket!

Rules: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/PDF/fw_warscrolls/Acastus-Knight-Porpyhrion.pdf

Makes me not feel bad about the Atropos anymore

. This thing is 60 more points but would totally anchor a Knight team... making it a leader with an improved invul save to go with its front AV14 and 8 HP would be nuts!

At least there's no points left over to upgrade it to lascannons

Rules look cool to me but still not a fan of the static looking model compared to other big knights, maybe someone can make the kit a bit more dynamic looking.

**whalemusic360**

I feel like since its loosing 2 hp (per SL's rules), we could give it another 5 points for lascannons.

You know, if someone wanted to pony up. I think I'll end up with one, but not right now.

**RiTides**

That's true

(although it's 10 per LC I think). Forgot about Solae's HP cap!

It is 10 points, but you already have 5 (its 495) so would only need 5 more.

**Gitsplitta**

That is a beautiful looking machine, but there's no way in hell I could afford it at roughly 350 pounds.

**whalemusic360**

Random 30 pound price jump? It's got free shipping. Just shy of $400 usd at current exchange rates.

**Gitsplitta**

Expensive enough. Keep In mind I have two teenage boys to feed... They'll go through that much for breakfast!

**whalemusic360**

Put em to work in the great Wisconsin cheese mines, let them earn their own keep.

**Gitsplitta**

I just saw a photo with the new knight next to normal knights... Gods what a beast. It's warhound sized! Given that... cost is probably pretty reasonable.

**Solar_lion**

This is a beast. It appears a Knight only in looks as its titan sized and all.. Thinking we be pushing the boundaries of the intent of the event with this guy.

However.... I'd like to get one... or maybe Santa will bring me one!

**RiTides**

I can't copy the pic as it's an attachment, but someone has it next to a Warhound in the FW thread here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6420/660641.page#9090178

I still don't love it, but with some conversions to make it more mechanicum looking and less "knightly", I'm sure I could come to

Santa just visited our house in a firetruck (literally!) but brought no resin, only candy canes

**Solar_lion**

Thanks for the link. It's a huge machine. I'm guessing it's only appropriate with all the new super robots the FW team has been putting out for the Tau.

Has 40K gone too much 'Giant Robot'? Where is my Ork Gargant model?

Glad the fire truck was only carrying Santa... whew!

**Gitsplitta**

Bugger... didn't work for me either.

did it the hard way...
