waaanial00 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yup. 7am meet for us too, then we all hop oh Sean's fun bus for a 3 hour drive up. I plan on sleeping :) Shakes fist, thats what time me and Idaho are planning on leaving Andover. I would say race you however I will be driving and I travel at the speed of an old granny on a shop mobility scooter so it wouldnt be fair. Wan (must stop posting and start working but too damn distracted to do so) PS if you are only in Farnborough we aught to organise a small hampshire gathering at some point (im technically in Berkshire nowadays but I am sure that you me and Idaho could probably get together over a gaming table in a central location without much fuss). Hmm maybe discuss this tomorrow. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/11/#findComment-2374303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernmist Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hey cool. Had no idea you guys were so close. We were over in Andover the other day for the touring cars at Thruxton :blush: As a side note, I want to print out some sheets for people to fill in when they play. Just some simple info; Names of the players (usernames here or on B&C too) Armies playing Mission VERY brief description of each turn (I'm thinking one or two sentences per turn - "Geoff killed my landraider; Matt destroyed my Monolith in turn 1 with a lucky scout shot" that kind of thing). Result. I then want to use this info to write a decent article about the whole event. Any other suggestions for info - I don't want it to get in the way of peoples games or anything so it has to be quick and dirty.

Cadarn Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 GAME ON!!! Guess who found a bunch of left over Euros! One emergency run to the post office and I'm... well... I wouldn't say minted.... but I have a slightly more peppermint tarnish than I did before. So, I should be up in Notts tomorrow. I may not be back on the Sunday, but one day is better than nothing, and I still get my fix. Thanks for the offers of help chaps, but I'll now be driving up and heading back on the evening.

Cadarn Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Eldar will definitely be coming (I'd like at least one competitive list with me.:cuss). Not sure about the missus yet.

Thantoes Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Since I think that there is also some sort of mini tournament taking place its likely for the best.

Cadarn Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Since I think that there is also some sort of mini tournament taking place its likely for the best. Not sure how she would react to all that sweaty fatness. Oh, she's immune to that. Been to GW HQ and is a big fan of bugmans, so she's used to the usual crowd. Furthermore she's a full time comic artist so she's seen far worse than even our notorious hobby has to offer in terms of big sweaty fanboys. If you can handle over weight bearded men in Lolita outfits then GW holds no terror for you.

You sir have successfully replaced my all time high most messed up image, a congratulatory cookie is in order methinks. Hmmm so thats what 5am looks like?

Firenze Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 As I only went for the one day today, I am home to report on the proceedings. It was pretty damn awesome actually. I myself didnt bring a competitive list (the army isnt finished) but I was surrounded by some of the best lists Ive seen in a long time. I had a great game vs Wan too. I lost. Terribly. But it was great all the same. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/11/#findComment-2375823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Im home... had a great weekend, good company, good food (thanks armouredwing) and great gaming. i had 8 games over the weekend (dont know how) 3 wins 3 draws and 2 losses (one against thantoes so no surprise there) looking back to last year, my army is far more successful now, but i still think it can be improved (look out next time guys).. for those interested twin t-fires are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Idaho Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm back (many thanks to Wan for the lift)! I enjoyed the weekend, though was more of a chatter box this time and only played 3 solo games and 1 2vs2 game! Gaming wise I did well, playing some extremely good opponents and getting good practice in with my army. Had 1 each win, loss and draw but felt good as the games were close and the loss was against a GT finalist with 3 Mawlocs and more Genestealers than you can shake a chainsword at - and I almost had you Stormbringer (who am I kidding eh?). I had a good time and will absolutely love to do it again soon. Bring on Ultra-meet 5! P.S. Sorry didn't get to play everyone again! Still haven't played C'tan, Cadarn, Greatcrusade08 or any of the newbies yet (pleased to meet you all by the way), but we will get a chance again soon! P.S.S. @ Firenze: Shame you only got the single game mate, but glad you enjoyed it! I understand why you asked about stand ins (that Vanquisher made me laugh!)

Thantoes Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 was against a GT finalist with 3 Mawlocs and more Genestealers than you can shake a chainsword at He took me down too. Him and his friend Armoured Wing playing Dirty Dirty Sisters of Battle. Just got home. Only a little under 5 hours after I left Warhammer World. Was a good weekend. Played 6 games. Won 4 (C'tan, GC08, Alloyslayer and Kernmist) and lost 2 (ArmouredWing and his friend). I think that its finally time to trade in my dice as I rolled far far too many 1's this weekend. Also had a truly large burger. Twas tough but I finished it all ;) Will write up mini reports tomorrow if I can remember them. Right now its all in a haze of fatigue Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/11/#findComment-2376788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Poor poor Ctan didnt fare very well this weekend, after melting his necrons with bad primer the day before too.. :rolleyes: armouredwings SOB was an interesting army to play against, i got a draw against him, although it was a bitter pill considering i wiped out his whole army bar the unit sitting on his objective when the game ended turn 5... this also happened with my game with Kernmist but i suppose i shouldnt complain as i got a slice of karmic luck with my last game against sniffles uber stilton eldar army (9 warwalkers with two scatter lasers on each) and i managed to pull a draw when i should have lost. My first game against PheonixKnight (not peter kay) was a good start for me, he put mos things in reserve leaving his pred and LR (with hammernators) on the board.. needless to day my alpha strikes took both out and my t-fires scored an amazing 33 hits on the 4 remaining termies.. that many wounds means even termies die :) When his army came on he was 500 points less than me and i won the war of attrition. My second game against Ctan was also won by my t-fires who first turn flattened 9 warriors, after failing his WBB rolls he used the monolith teleporter to have another try.. However he then rolled his reserves and his off table warrior squad got destroyed as the doorway was blocked.. after turn 2 he was ten models from phase-out, it didnt take me long to finish him off Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/11/#findComment-2376811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well Im alive, despite a weekend of very little sleep owing to a Travelodge mess up which saw me sleeping on the floor instead of my pre ordered sofabed (damn you travelodge). Had a really good gaming weekend in which I played 4 normal games and 1 doubles combat patrol (which I am now banned from because it brings out the worst competative side to me - more details later). I think I went 2 wins, 1 loss and one (nail biting, exhausting and thoroughly enjoyable) draw. Oh and we won the doubles combat patrol (though i feel my list of 2 Typhoons, 2 MM Landsppeders, 5 sniper scouts + 5 combat scouts (one unit combat squadded) in a Landspeeder storm with heavy flamer, SHOULD have been disquallified due to how stupidly cheesy it was for 500 point combat patrol. Hopefully some battle reports will be coming later, though without any notes they might be a little light on the details. BIG thanks goes out to armoured wing for feeding us on Saturday night, it does appear that the generous nature is alive and well despite my normal cynical outlook on life. To all that I have yet to play, there is always next time. More on this in the next weeks I believe. Till later Wan (Trygons - Pah!)
