Ive just realised this will be the 5th big meet at GWHQ.. ill have to bring cake.

 

the only reason i remember is that i have a grudge match against Ctans necron bois every year with my scouty chaps... so far its 4-0 to me (not that im bragging).

Have I lulled you into a false sense of security yet?? :D

 

Looking forward to what Year 5 brings :D

Well, now there is a formal date, I have made myself the task of getting my Rainbow Warriors completed (1 Tactical squad, 1.5 Devastator squads, plus possibly another HQ to paint - need to work out what vehicles I want asides from a Storm Talon and Rhinos, so total points value is unknown as yet). I will be bringing my Steel Wings as well (around 1k - 1.2k). I'd love to have a game or two, so if there is anyone who's willing to play against someone who's only played one game in twenty years laugh.png or have a doubles game then I'd love to try my luck. No need to "pull punches", as long as the army in question isn't pure cheese laugh.png I will try to get at least three to five games in before the Ultrameet, so I won't be a total newbie. Hopefully will know if I can definitely make it at the end of the week as my Supervisor is off with an injured arm, so I can't change my days off until then.

im feeling truelly lulled pinch.gif

on a different note, i think Graham McNeill may be able to make it again this year, ive spoken to him and hes tempted by the prospect of cake yes.gif

That would be cool happy.png I'll have to try to remember to bring cake as well. I wonder if I can convince him that it would be a good idea to write a Rainbow Warriors novel? laugh.png

Maybe not! laugh.png

Nah, no need to apologise. It's the stupid family summer plans that coincide with the Ultra-meet. But anyway, if there's one next year, you can already put me down on the list as attending. Plus, it'll give me more time to get my collection up to at least 1000 points :tu:

Just to confirm - I have both days off, so am definitely able to go happy.png

One thing I'd like to ask though - the hotel called Nottingham Riverside has a lot of negative feedback, mainly due to the condition of the rooms. I'm not too squeamish when using hotel rooms (I used to go to Anime Cons, so I know the score laugh.png ), but just wanted to ask if anyone has ever had a gripe when using one of them. I'm currently looking at a hotel on the M1 (about 10 miles away from Warhammer World and it's currently around half the cost), if the general opinion is not favourable.

I'm not used to being this organised to be honest blink.png

5 years ago a few of us got a 'hostel' together to save on cash, and the room looked like the aftermath of the movie of the same name.. words cannot express how truelly disgusting that place was.

 

since then ive used nothing other than the riverside travelodge, and tbh i rarely use anything but travelodge for over night stays now.. sure its not the ritz, but its affordable and comfortable..

ive never experienced a problem with the rooms ive stayed in.

In order to save costs i generally double up with a mate in a family room, its the same cost as a single, plus it cuts down on travel costs and its 'greener' too..

Fair enough.  I always take things like those reviews with a pinch of Sodium Chloride, but I honest thing that some people expect far too much for far too little.  I won't be booking the room for a while yet though.  It would seem the hotel and Warhammer World have the same/similar postcode.  I take it that they're within spitting distance?

Yeah I can remember idahos reluctance to go back to the room, and after seeing the pics I could see why lol

Ok, just confirming that myself, Kern, Sniffle and one other will be attending. We will be around for both days, i'm looking forward to getting some games in with you lot, oh and GC08, your going DOWN! :D

 

Out of interest, is there any interest in a large scale game (2v2, 3v3, 4v4 etc on the apoc tables)? We have had varying success playing them over the past few years.

Yeah a big game would be good if everyone's up for it, I'm there for both days this time

 

I'd probably watch the big game, as I'm still very inexperienced at playing after so long.  Definitely interested in a couple of singles games though. 

 

Scion of Ferrus - It'll be interesting to see how Bannus' IH Codex will fair ^_^
