AJB2K3 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 got a week to go, its a hell of a drive for me, just checked google maps and its 3 and a half hours travelling time... Mine is only 1 1/4 hr drive. Why do we do it ? :lol: ;) <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Why do we do it ? :lol: ;) <_< my wife asks me that same question, especially once the money starts leaving the account.. hotel, fuel, food.. it all adds up.. just means i have to keep her sweet, but its also the reason im limited to 4 or 5 events a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I know that I do it for the love of playing and meeting new people. Thankfully it is only about an hours drive from mine, so it isnt so bad this time. We will be able to get in from 10am as expected. If anyone cant find me, ask around for the Muppet Tables or for Dan Cave. Or alternatively just take a look around for the Ultramarine models and you will likely find us ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 if you cant find Dan "the sad muppet" :) just look for a guy wearing ultramarines t-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB2K3 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 if you cant find Dan "the sad muppet" :P just look for a guy wearing ultramarines t-shirt so I just ask for the mad muppet in the Ultramarine t-shirt? ;) ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waaanial00 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I am indeed the oddity organising an ultrameet and taking crimson fists. Cadarn, what points level did we agree on for square bases? I have a feeling I have a couple of models to build :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah your an ultra player at heart, just like GAZ and his white ultramarines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ah your an ultra player at heart, just like GAZ and his white ultramarines Army of Apothecaries... Is anyone else a little concerned about taking on Thantoes in the last Ultras meet before he leaves now that he has the benefits of the Deathwing on the FAQ?

Thantoes Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ah your an ultra player at heart, just like GAZ and his white ultramarines Army of Apothecaries... Is anyone else a little concerned about taking on Thantoes in the last Ultras meet before he leaves now that he has the benefits of the Deathwing on the FAQ? :lol: Not sure anyone should be. The new rules dont change much with my army. In fact I am sad to see my old Smoke and POTMS go away. Undecided about the new Apothocary rule. Also, people should know me well enough to know that I am not going to throw in 15 TH/SS termies to powergame. I may chuck in 1 or 2 for taste though. Heck, I dont even have any with a CML though also may throw in one or two. In fact the one thing I reaaaaallllllyyyyy wish they had changed would have been to give Belial a 4++ invuln. Oh well, spent too much time converting my Agemman (aka Belial) model to now give him a TH/SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadarn Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hey guys. Sorry I've been awol for a while. Real life and square bases have been getting in the way of the shooty shooty goodness. You know what else gets in the way? Friends. Especially when they decide to get married ON THE WEEKEND WHEN YOU WERE PLANNING TO GO GAMING! Granted, they had booked their day long before this, but what do they expect? That I check a calendar? Like.... more than once? I have a wife for that. Well, said wife was kind enough to point out that I'm a moron and that I've double booked. Again. So it looks like I'll be a no show this weekend, sorry chaps, and sorry Wan as I was looking forward to some fantasy action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thats ok Cadarn, I have done stuff like that far too many times for me to get annoyed when others do it. It will be a shame not to play you, however it does mean that I wont have to build another regiment of Ghouls for Saturday just so I have enough core. Oh well at least that means one less case to take for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have finally got around to building some lists for the weekend. All the usual suspects are in: - No power fists in any of the tacticals - No transport for my assault terminators - Extra armour on my TL Lascannon Dreadnought Thats right, going fluffy(ish) in an attempt to play fun games. Oh and I am taking my thunderfire and a dakka pred, I will be keeping score and seeing how both do. I have a feeling that I will still prefer my Thunderfire.

waaanial00 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 See I used to say that and nobody believed me. Mind you I havent actually fielded it in about a year ;) Seems like quite a low turnout this time around. I dont even think I can rustle any of the Muppet regulars. Oh well, there will be games played and thats the main thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 yeah fun isnt limited by the number of bods.. just means we all get to play each other. i alway look forward to these things, gives me a chance to play against new people or against peoplem i havent seen in a while but trust to be good opponents. in the age where pick up games carries a riskof playing a douche, its nice to go and spend a weekend with lads you have alot in common with. im gunn a stop here before people start playing thier tiny violins.

waaanial00 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Its approx 1 hour West of Basingstoke in a place called Westbury. Place is apparently quite decent. Meeting will probably be between 10 and 6 on both days. I will be there with my 1750 Marine army and 1250 of Daemons (well mostly Daemons with some stand ins) willing to play anyone. I have invited a couple of my club members but I havent heard back from them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I have returned my pretties, ready to rend and destroy. In fact I am so keen that even though my wife said I could come this weekend if I wanted to, after not seeing her for a month I am still not coming. I mean I love the game but I love my gibblets more ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 good to have you back T.. but wise choice. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB2K3 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 To whomever said they would play me first. I'll be a bit late (around 10:30). Just thought It be polite to let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaanial00 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ive decided that 1250 is a horrible size for a Daemon force so I have worked out a 1500 one, bunch of stand ins but should be sufficient (if a little crazy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and apparently thats me :lol: Dont worry I will probably be introducing everyone to everyone for the first 30 minutes as I have 2 of my Club mates coming (one of which is a big Ultra fan) and I probably know most of the people who will be attending. Generally the first 40 - 50 minutes is people yapping and sorting out games anyway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
