Machine God Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 @greatcrusade08 - 11,111 posts a nice round number. Â I plan on still using my chapter with Codex:Space Wolves, but is there any chance that I could frield them using Bannus' Codex:Iron Hands?

greatcrusade08 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 im feeling truelly lulled 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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273697-ultra-meet-this-year/page/2/#findComment-3355192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 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 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 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 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? Maybe not!

Dosjetka Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 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: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273697-ultra-meet-this-year/page/2/#findComment-3355366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I really want to come though it depends how my redundancy goes. Â Can we get a recap on exactly what date we're aiming for, just so I'm clear?

Aqui Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just to confirm - I have both days off, so am definitely able to go 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 ), 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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273697-ultra-meet-this-year/page/2/#findComment-3358155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 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. Â 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..

C'tan Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 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 Â 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.

greatcrusade08 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 i had only played about 4/5 before winning the tournament yesterday, its not a huge amount different to 5th at its core. once you get used to things like snap fire, overwatch, flyers etc its pretty easy to pick up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273697-ultra-meet-this-year/page/2/#findComment-3359547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
