Sweeping Advance isn't a special rule or ability, such as Counter Assault or Furious Charge.

 

yeah your right.. my bad

 

the other argument would be that the IC couldnt leave the unit until the movement phasse, so he then couldnt sweep.

 

ive always played it that termy armour in any unit means no sweeping

@firenze - I will drop you off at the station on Saturday, then pick you up and drop you off on Sunday as I will have my car there anyway. Depending on what time we get there on Saturday and when your train gets in I could probably pick you up on Saturday but given we've never actually met its probably easier for me to offer lifts after we both know what each other looks like.

 

Save the legs when you are young and the knees still work when you arent :(

Trust me Wan, Its alright. Im only there for one day. I thank you for the offer though. I like my walks anywho.

What have you defiled your list with (apart from dreadnoughts) that will allow someone to sweeping advance?

 

Wolves :( (of the Fenrisian variety, NOT the Thunderwolf kind.)

 

Don't have any at the moment, but considering picking them up as a cheap counter assault unit, or to provide the sweeping advance that my Terminators can't. It's that or I pad out my Scouts.

It is true that SW lack the awesomeness of the DW and need lower life forms for assistance :D

 

I cant speak for SW but I havent come across an occassion where my lack of sweeping advance has been an issue but then I suspect your local scene has more "non pa" armies than mine.

 

I did have a dreadnough sweep like 30 gretchin yesterday though but I dont think that counts :P

Just do double charges with wolves and termies, aslong as you dont have them as part of the same unit then wolves CAN sweep

Aye. I was planning on having them accompany one of my characters as ablative wounds. May still go with that. I like the idea of Njal keeping a pack on a leash and then letting them slip.

 

As for my local scene, it pretty much consists of one mate and you guys. :confused:. I don't get a lot of gaming done between meets.

Ahhh but then the problem lies with the fact taht the enemy can target the wolves and have a better chance at winning combat overall than just concentrating on the Terminators. Though I do agree that with the disgausting amount of attacks the puppies throw out that is a rather unlikely event. Though I suppose given how good wolves are in combat I wouldnt have thought that Sweeping advance would have been something to worry about.

 

Best sweeping advance I saw (I was not involved) Ironclad killing 1 of 9 nobs Kitted out with the usual death sticks and fists, Ork player spoons all his attacks, runs then gets caught. Something crazy like 300 points or so in one sweeping advance due to 1 death. The look on the Ork players face was classic, he was still moaning about it 3 weeks after it happened (though I dont suppose it helped that half the club was mocking him about it).

 

I dont think I will be getting any more 40K games in between now and this (well 1 against Idaho hopefully but none with my regulars). I am saving myself for you guys it would seem (or maybe its the influx of square bases on my modelling table).

ill be trying to fins a game or two before hand, but most of my minis have emerged from the travel case and now sit upon my painting tray ready for the finsihing touches..

all weapons now drilled. telion painted and 2 units completely finsihed..

 

crossed fingers they will be ready by UM4

 

If Cadarn wants a game before hand, i can meet up for a game?

Ok its time to do a quick roll call for UM4.

 

So far Wan, Idaho and Cadarn should be coming aswell as myself and hopefully thantoes..

though you should all know that this may be my last meet for a while as my wife goes back to work in june and free time will become very difficult for me..

 

Im hoping to go ahead with the BFM, but we are still looking for tyranid players to volunteer.. also we have had a big problem with people commiting and then dropping out at the last minute..

If we are to run an event of this size i need to know that people are really going to turn up and not leave us short handed..

 

Im hoping to see the regulars at nottingham at the end of april (24th and 25th IIRC) aswell as many new faces..

 

attendees:

Cadarn

Gc08

thantoes

Idaho

Wan

Kernmist

ctan

Hoping to try out my new nids with PK and perhaps AW this weekend, so hopefully I wont be totally clueless at the meet!

 

I assume that we have some tables booked at WW, what time are you guys getting there on the Saturday?

Dont worry we arent hyper competative.. its a good learning curve too.

Yup we have 12 tables booked including a triple table snow based incase we decided to do a large nids vs first co renactment

My 1st Co thirsts for tyranid blood. Bring forth your chittering hordes and they shall crash upon and be broken by Blood and Ceramite :huh:

 

If we dont do the Macragge battle we should still use this for another Uber game. However with so many people hopefully attending we should either have 2 uber games or lower the points limit a bit.

Regardless, we should use this for another Uber game. However with so many people hopefully attending we should either haev 2 uber games or lower the points limit a bit.

 

agreed we can use them as singles but it provides a good place for large games

Sounds fun! However, you still haven't given me what time we are all getting to WW on the Saturday? are we going to meet at bugmans or the hall?

Me and waaanial00 will be there around 10 also, depending on his driving :o

 

And you know my pretty face!

 

 

Yeah Idaho is a very pretty man :o

The Ultramarines will have the tables marked as such, usually in the rear corner of the room.. if you cant fins it and are worried about approaching strangers just ask staff they will point you in the right direction.

 

opening is at 10, most of us congregate at that time, although train goers usually arrive at lunch

Yeah Idaho is a very pretty man :lol:

 

See this is why me and Idaho make a good team, beauty and the beast :D

 

We will be aiming for 10am as that sounded like a respectable time to get there, my driving isnt that fast (its erratic but thats another story).

 

If you take a look here and Here you should find sufficient photos of the lot of us. None of me though, I dont show up on film :)
