Cadarn Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 The readiness of my WolfWing is looking more and more dubious, as every time I sit down to paint, something comes up. I'll hopefully still be bringing what I have along, but may end up running more with the Eldar this time around. Curiously, I may also have another body along in the shape of my wife, who has developed a great love for GW HQ and Bugmans, and she may end up playing too!

storm bringer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Afternoon gents, I think I have forewarned you that I need to proxy for some of my new nids but after a couple of practice games (1 win and 1 loss- against a Calgar led list would you believe!) I now have a better idea of what I need to proxy: 1) Doom- converted a Ravener using trygon, mawloc and fex bits 2) Tervigon/Tyrannofex- using a Carnifex 3) Hive guard- using tyrant guard 4) Warrior Prime- normal tyranid warrior (I will make sure there is no chance for confusion) 5) Mycetic spore- plasma hatcher Also, with wife and kids I will only be part-painted but I hope this is all ok? Look forward to the meet. Just to add another couple of proxies: 6) Hive Tyrant for Swarmlord 7) Hormagants for termagants (if tervigons produces ridiculous amount of new gaunts!) Trust these ok as well? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/9/#findComment-2368647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Curiously, I may also have another body along I had to reread this twice as I was a little freaked out that you were bringing a dead body or you had major plastic surgery in the shape of my wife, who has developed a great love for GW HQ and Bugmans, and she may end up playing too! However I shouldnt have bothered, instead I should have read this part. What does the lady play? The only time I made the mistake of assuming that women cant play was when I was tabled by a Sisters of Battle army in a tournament, I am sure that she picked the army was to lull people like me in to the "ill take it easy on her" attitude (always getting sucker punched by that "im a lady, dont expect me to know" look :)) Sadly Cadarn I was looking at the transport issues and I will not be able to bring my Orks along. It will have to be marines. They are just too bulky and I am already taking 2 separate marine lists so cannot ensure that they all reach their destination intact. After my warm up game against Idaho on Saturday someone needs to beat the smug out of me. It went a little too well for my liking and I think I need someone to really grind my 1500 point list into the dirt to prove to me that it aint all that. @Stormbringer - As long as its explained we will be Ok with it, as long as its not a "this shoe box is my Landraider" or "no that (identical) model is the Doom, this one is my Hive Tyrant". If there is a way to tell them apart I will be cool, to be honest I barely know what are the official models are and I have even less of a clue what they do when it comes to nids. I generally operate on the principle of the larger the model the stronger the weapon is required to kill it.

Cadarn Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Well, I thought she'd take it easy, start off with a nice simple army. Something pick up and playable. But no. She chose Eldar. So, rather a steep learning curve for her. She's still pretty new, with only a couple of games under her belt, but she's a fast learner and is already correcting my more regular opponent. No worries on the Orks, mate. If I'm using non PA force then anything will be a nice challenge.

I'll hopefully still be bringing what I have along, but may end up running more with the Eldar this time around. Noooooo, how am I to smite thee if you do not bring forth the Puppies? Still, I havent played Eldar in like 1.5 years so that could be just as fun. Curiously, I may also have another body along in the shape of my wife, who has developed a great love for GW HQ and Bugmans, and she may end up playing too! Oooooh, I am going to have to have a game vs her. Then I will be able to fulfill my life long dream of playing an actual gurl...hur hur hur *bewbs...nerd drool* :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/9/#findComment-2368764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadarn Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'll still have the puppies with me, though I was hoping to uphold my personal vow of only playing with Painted Minis (I use it as my incentive to actually get things painted). Alas, I may need to break that one. Although I need a new chapter name for them. I WAS going with Storm Ravens until the bloody Blood Angels got their infernal transport.

"Neutered Mongrels"? "Fleabags"? Oh wait, I forgot...you are actually an Ultramarine pretending to be something else so perhaps these would be in order. "Glorious Canines"? "Magnificent Hounds"? "The Wolves of Awesome"? What you think? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192795-ultra-meet-4/page/9/#findComment-2368784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadarn Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Heh, pretty much nicked the Iron Knights colour and tweaked it. But I give you my thanks, as I think I have a nice theme for them now. I'm going to build their fluff and background as being real haters of the boys in blue. frowning on their tactical flexibility, and decrying them as dull, while my hero hammer army fires bolts of solid, mature, extra smelly cheese. My god... I think I've just guaranteed them being utterly destroyed at the weekend.

waaanial00 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 @Alloyslayer, glad to hear that you can make it on Sunday. Thats what I like to see, dedication to the cause. I will be more than willing to play you, last game we had was a bit skewed towards me as you had abysmal luck if I remember. I now have 3 lists to bring: - Standard 1750 power armour list (practice for a tournament I may be playing in) - Standard 1500 power armour list (one that I was going to take to the GT) - Fun non power armour list. My take on 1st and 10th (with a few of the 4th in there as well for taste) I am willing to play all at any level. Getting a little excited about this. I have even started doing some of the write up which I intend to send to White Dwarf, getting the background of the event down on digital paper and planning out what else will be said. Is someone going to be bringing a decent camera? I have a feeling that some armies are going to be very picture worthy (Thantoes looking at your minis here). EDIT: Forgot to ask, whats better? Extra armour on a Dread or power weapon on a tac sgt with a plasma pistol? Ive gone with the Dread for the moment but I may swap this over the weekend.

Cadarn Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Depends on the dread and how he's kitted out. If he's designed for ranged over melee then don't bother, as the ability to still move won't be worth as much. I'd say a Power Weapon would be the better of the two, as you KNOW you're going to be facing a lot of power armour and terminator armour, and anything that will help punch through those will help.

Thantoes Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 2 days to go till my horrific 4:30am wake up. New Land Raider painted up and will be making the journey. Broken Hinges on case compensated for. All thats left to do is get my usual bottles of flavoured water and winegums and I am set to go. Would also be nice if I could find my last dice that the cat lost for me.
