Iron-Daemon Forge Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi everone With the Throne of Skulls March tickets for next year on sale today. Is anyone going to be taken part? I will be going with my Iron Warriors. Not sure what I will do army list wise, one idea to possibe try get the Daemonic Axe for my Chaos Lord. Beyound that I enjoy both the list I use in ToS Oct (my 5th ed list) & the army list I use in ToS Nov (drop a unit of Terminators for a Heldrake). I look forward getting back down to Warhammer World & the Throne of Skulls event after this year lot ^_^ IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm a bit worried about my Honour Guard being illegal due to heads being sourced from another company. But I do want to attend mind. Looks like my Marines will not be able to attend... *sigh* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/#findComment-3255234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Taylor Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm going. First GW event for a few years as I used to enjoy the old GTs. I have no idea what I'm taking just yet but I have a feeling it's either Dark Angels (I have a pile of them to assemble) or back to Daemons as they were fun under 5th. I'm a bit worried about my Honour Guard being illegal due to heads being sourced from another company. But I do want to attend mind. Looks like my Marines will not be able to attend... *sigh* Looking at the rules pack then I think they will be illegal, however it would be interesting to see if any of the refs spot them. It's also interesting to see that they are clamping down on proxy models but I'm guessing it stops things like people using WFB spider riders as fiends. Anyway, how many Honor Guard do you have! Surely you should be able to paint some more up in three months Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/#findComment-3255461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Only three needed, but I alreay have 5 axe armed models, now 3 spear armed models and without a new edition Codex I am loath to put the time and money into building any new Honour Guard. Besides, I am proud of how they look. :) Really though, it is a disappointing ruling since I have seen some great armies out there; Imperial Guard armies themed on Star Wars springs to mind. To see them disappear because of this ruling is horrible!

To see them disappear because of this ruling is horrible! I know what you mean but I think the main reason they are doing it is down to the Hobbit. I mean they make a specific example about Moria Goblins, so I think as part of the licence for making models for the films, New Line have said that the models need to be the right ones in public events.

nurglez Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 You could always email them to find out, or just say they are converted from bits and green stuff to look like ones from another company (because you liked the look). Myself and at least 3 friends are going, bought our tickets yesterday. I'll be bringing chaos (unless I can't paint them in time and then I'll bring my Draigowing), while my friends shall be bring greyknights/imperial guard, Angels sanguine and orks.

Joe42914 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Dark Angels for me, my mates are bringing necrons, space wolves, eldar and dark eldar. Having to buy more models to bulk out my army though and give it an edge. Anyone got somewhere to stay yet? Me and some friends need a fairly cheap hotel to stay at in notts?

MrSocks Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Myself and my friend Matt will be there, with some brand new ultramarines and some templars respectively. Looking forward to it massively however I've got a lot to build and paint before then!

Looking forward to it massively however I've got a lot to build and paint before then! I've still got a lot to paint too (and still gotta assemble a few...). Currently Mechwarrior online is taking up my time (and that sorta rhymed :) ). But I shall get to it, and even if they aren't painted brilliantly they shall be painted enough to take part in a tournament oh yes they will! Our little group (4 of us) usually head down to warhammer world on the friday, getting there around lunch time for some drinking and gaming before the main event (also any last minute painting heh).

MrSocks Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm looking forward to getting started on my army so I can knock some units off my to do list! (It's just so long at the moment!!!!) Haha, we're doing something similar, I think there's either 3 or 4 of us going down (one plays those dirty necrons!) on the friday evening so that we're fresh (or not as the case may be after a few drinks) for the saturday! Also with regards to the none-GW heads, I don't think that's an issue, the "only GW and FW miniatures" was more for the model as a whole? as long as the models are majority GW there's no reason why you can't put different heads on them?

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 It not Throne of Skulls unless your painting to the very last few moment. I will need to try get a few games with my army list. Going to take the army list I took to ToS Nov, but going to try change a few things to give my Chaos Lord the Axe of Blind fury to help give him a bit more of a edge in combat - possible 11 attack on the charge & so he can strike that I5 in combat.

Captain Idaho Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Just for those interested; I called the events team and they confirmed, with regret my models were unacceptable. However they explained things nicely and suggested how I can make alternatives, so I might get a mate who's good at modelling to make me some plumed helmets for a replacement in the future.

nurglez Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks for that info mate, good to know. Guess I'm lucky that i swapped out my twin lightning claws from another company for a power axe and the black mace :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/#findComment-3289039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Taylor Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So has anybody started painting yet for this? So far I have done nothing but get the Dark Angel codex and I am trying to decide if I want to do an army of them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/#findComment-3290594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSocks Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've got about 2 squads done and a few bits and pieces. Should be done by March though.

Brother Sergeant Scarus Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've got my newly converted Daemon Prince to paint (the old one will be incase I get lucky on the boon table...) then it's just 4 Marines, 8 Boltguns, 1 shoulder pad and a predator tank to go. Looking forward to taking the new Chaos dex to ToS!

nurglez Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I currently have my lord almost finished, and my plagues undercoated. that is all. Really need to get a move on heh, but at least I know my paint scheme works for my plagues (tested it out on the lord) so it will be kinda quick to finish my 14 plaguemarines... I hope :D My friends and I should be getting to WW around 2-3pm, for food, drinking and playing of course :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/#findComment-3301383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Which hotel is everybody staying in? I'm trying to decide wherever to drive each day or stay overnight It'll be a bit of a mission to drive to and from Dudley every day! M6 and M42 are a nightmare in rush hour (I know, I've used them more often than I'd have cared to, and live quite near them both <_< ), the cost of the petrol alone would be better spent in a hotel ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/#findComment-3303856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 There are quite a few hotels and b&b's in the area. We're staying near the station, which is a 30 min walk from ww, I think :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267205-throne-of-skulls-march-2013-uk/#findComment-3304042 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big plus point is it'll be nice and clear on a saturday and sunday at the times I'll be drive! Had a few people mention the P&J hotel. Has anybody stayed there?
