greatcrusade08 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Im going mad trying to finsih my last scout bike, 4 snipers and my two thunderfires.. at the same time im trying to decorate my house and have the first game of my summer tourney tonite at my LGS. We have a new batch of 40k players and after only a couple of games they all think my scout force is over-powered so to make them sleep better i told them id be using a different list... (pulls out my terminators :) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/10/#findComment-2372728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossatron Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 @ Capt. Idaho, GC08 & Thantoes I'M ALIVE!!!! I've been busy faking my own death, but unfortunately the police found my canoe off the scottish cost and then found my not so dead corpse in Panama, so I've spent the last year or so in prison, comforting Mr Big. Actually the truth is, since the wedding and the move to Sheffield and the Uni course I just have not had time to do any thing Warhammer 40k related, hell I havn't even seen my wife all that much!... (In fact right now I'm meant to be writing a reflective essay on a traffic accident I attended a little while ago..) But don't think I've forgot you guys, and like a ghost I've been lurking on the site from time to time, watching and plotting my revenge on.. well, nobody really... I would love to see you guys all again this weekend but unfortunately I'm not going to make this one, but hopefully there will be another one during the summer break and I would like to come a haunt you lot on that one if you guys arn't repulsed by the idea of seeing me again?.. In the mean time take it easy people! One of the best ways of getting hold of me will be to PM me and then I can give you my contact details if you wanna get in touch! As you were!

greatcrusade08 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Great to hear from you mate, you had us worried there for a while. It would be great to see you at the next meet.. not quite sure when and where yet.. but im sure we will make that decision after this meet is over.

crossatron Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Mate it's good to hear from you too! Keep in touch and let me know whats going on with things and hopefully I'll actually have some painted minis to play with next time!

waaanial00 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 We have a new batch of 40k players and after only a couple of games they all think my scout force is over-powered HAHAHAHA HAHAHA!!!!! Not so long ago I am sure that we had people claim that a whole scout force was pointless. I was also sure that last time I spoke to you face to face you mentinoed about hanging up the scout force because you had proved your point :) Nice to hear that they are winning big in your area, you seem to have got them undercontrol and tuned the list to winning ways (hopefully you will prove a contender at ASMOH). I will have to give your potential 1750 scout force a shot on either of the days, will be nice to see how over-powered it is. @Crossatron, nice to hear that rumours of your demise were greatly exaggerated. I am not sure on the others but this trip is the last I am doing till next April (promise to the lady indoors) so I will not have the pleasure to hear about your DIY army (F Knights). No more Ultra meet in 2010 for me, though I think that the next one was supposed to be somewhere in Wales (Cardiff if memory serves). 2 days, I have my lists all printed out. Sadly due to everything else in my life I have yet to pick up a brush since January :( So a lot of my fun army will be unpainted and shockingly I have to run a Razorback (sans turret) as a Rhino because apparently I cant count :) Wan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/10/#findComment-2373059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd spent so much time getting my GT list up to the minimum 3 colours last year that other elements of my sisters were largely untouched so you won't be the only one with minis still in WiP. Looking forward to the weekend guys. Be good to get some games in.

Cadarn Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Wow. Looks like I ran over Fate's cat, or kicked him in the nuts at some point, as he is really not happy with me. A three way financial sucker punch has meant that I can no longer make it up to Nottingham this weekend unless I somehow magically teach my card to run on fumes or fairy dust. It also means that I've had to cancel an airsoft weekend in a disused shopping Mall and a trip to san-diego comic con. So all in all, I'm am currently a thoroughly unhappy bunny. So, I'm sorry to say that I'll be missing a UM meet for the first time. Rather gutted about that, sorry guys. But I hope you all have a good one and I'll see you at UM#5.

I thought my financial situation was looking a bit murky, however this takes the cake. Gutted that you wont be there, it wont be the same without you. Hopefully we wont lose too many of the others who have signed up, and hopefully fate is done kicking the snot out of you for the moment.

waaanial00 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 thunderfires seem to make all the difference, although i fully expect to see my very useful LSS MM with melta scouts grow popular in the next year It still makes me laugh a lot that most marine players are not worried about these, worse still almost no-one targets this on the first turn (oh well I suspect people will be doing so on Saturday and Sunday). 2 turns and it will make its points back and I have many a game where it doesnt get targeted at all. And I have to say, hats off to you sir! 2 Thunderfires, did you need a blood transfusion after that small feat. I am sure that most of my luck with the model has come because of the amount of blood I lost just building the 1 I have. I will be bringing along my HF speeder, I wish I had the time to put some paint on the damn thing but I cant see it happening. Should be fun to see it in action as the real model rather than just a proxy taking all the glory.

If you still want to come, im going through Cambs on my way in order to pick up Thantoes from the station.. you can catch a lift with us.. if you need a place to stay ill happily sleep on the floor and let you have the fold out sofa at the travellodge? (ill have to check with Thantoes too though) @Wan, i actually did a bit of conversion work on the t-fires so a mate helped build the second one whilst we did the work.. still the first one cost me about a pint of khorne-juice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/10/#findComment-2373246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadarn Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Aw man, you guys are troopers. GC08, many thanks for the offer of the lift and I assure you that I am an accomplished floor sleeper, so don't worry about me on that side of things. I'll have to check and see, so I'll confirm tomorrow, as although I'm happy to accept a car seat and a patch of floor, I'm not sure I could handle the idea of being fed and watered for the weekend. And there is no way I can handle staying sober on the saturday while the beer is flowing. ;) I also have a work thing on the Sunday evening, so will need to check for that. Again, many thanks chaps and i'll let you know tomorrow if that's ok?

waaanial00 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Confidence is high eh? :D You going to write up your games GC? I know you had a thread a while back but that was before you reduced your scope on this forum. I do have a blast writing battle reports and it really does make me review how my game is played next time. 26 hours to go :tu: I even packed everything last night so I am really prepared. Not looking forward to getting up at 5am though, still Thantoes is worse off and I am sure that I will not be the only one up at about this sort of time.

Not looking forward to getting up at 5am though, still Thantoes is worse off and I am sure that I will not be the only one up at about this sort of time. I do it for love of the game :D Must remember to pack my Battle Missions book which is laying next to my bed. Later on today I shall make the trip to Sainsburies to purchase my usual water and winegums. Also batteries for the camera so I don't have the issue I had at UM3. Discovered to my horror last night that I had missed painting the mechanicus sigil on the back of my LRC. That has now been rectified as well as the techmarines having his shoulder pads painted and liveried fully. LRC is now 100% complete (and this time I mean it) GC08, just a confirmation. Provided that TFL doesnt bugger me around, my train will pull into Cambs at 07:42.
