-------------
What is it?
WARHAMMER 40,000
Bring as many points as you wish, Mr Mystery is bringing 3000 points of Necrons, Tzeentch's Dark Agent will bring Necrons or Space Marines
*games will probably be around 1000,1500 or 2000 points*
Apocalypse game at the end?



-----------
How to get there:

Warhammer World is near Nottingham train station, http://goo.gl/maps/YAbqd
There is a Premier Inn nearby, if people want to go halves on twin rooms to make it cheaper organise that between yourselves

---------

That's it :D

I hope to see you all there!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Me, I say 1k points would be easier, means more games/less stuff.

[Wildeybeast]

If we are about doing it in the new year, there's no point organising dates yet as WHW calendar only runs till the end of the year.

Unless someone can be bothered to organise a 'not a tournament but still an organised gaming system' I suggest picking a points value and everyone rocks up with an army and a list and we go from there. I'd be happy to play Warhammer or 40K or both depending on what others want to do.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I really only play 40k, my budget is too low for Fantasy.

1000 points sounds good.

[Mr Mystery]

I say up to 2,000. Seeing as it's not intended as a competitive event, we can always point down or just have multiple lists for different points ready to go.

Seeing as it's my baby, I'll get in contact with WHW next week, see if I can book out some tables for next year. And yes I will be attending!

As for system, I think keeping it 40k for now would be best. We can always arrange a Fantasy one afterwards!!!

And we need a tagline for it......

UK Playdate 2012 - We've got big BoLS is my suggestion.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I agree with all those points!

[Mr Mystery]

TDA - Using your mod powers, any chance you could pull some strings to have something put up on the main BoLs front page once I've managed to set a date?

BTW, I'm thinking March/April time meself. Gives plenty of notice for those who need to book time off work (trust me, travelling on the Friday before would be advantageous!) and of course, better chance of booking hotel rooms that far in advance, likely for a better price. Which helps.

Hotel wise, I've spent many pleasant evenings in the Day's Hotel in Nottingham, which GW put visiting staff up in. Lots and lots of Twin Rooms there, so ideal for keeping costs down overall. I'll stop short of block booking the rooms though, but it's a solid little hotel, and used to housing us geeks.

I'm thinking we cane it all day Saturday until they turf us out, with drinks in Bugmans after, and for us hardcore nerds, if people bring boardgames and CCGs etc we can continue in the hotel lounge. Or just nick off up the Pit and Pendulum for a little rock and more drinkies! In fact I think warm up boardgames on the Friday night for those using a hotel, full on gaming Saturday, followed by booze and that Saturday night??

Now thinking common sense rules....If you are under 16, bring a parent, especially if you intend to stay over night like a hardcore gaming nutter! I dunno about anyone else, but although I am CRB checked and clear (again, another one for new job) I don't much fancy being responsible for someone else!!

[Denzark]

The only dates bad for me are 10-11 and 17-18 nov - what was being talked about in the other thread!

New year OK.

Reckon 1500 - GWs very own tourney speed list cost.

[Mr Mystery]

Regarding points, as I like big games, and to avoid the problem of an odd number of attendees, I'll bring 3,000 of Necrons. I reckon most people can do 1,500, and if they can't now, they have plenty time to up it :p

Closer the (yet to be set date) I'll be looking to start up a register of confirmed attendees. This is primarily so we can ensure nobody is left behind at any point, and all stick together all the time, especially those under 18!

To make this as manageable as possible, I'm thinking we may want to consider a cap on numbers. I'm thinking 20-30 for the first attempt, as we don't want to book out the hall (it's free though.....so possible, but very date restrictive) but do want to make sure there will likely be enough free tables for us to play on with minimal amounts of people sitting one out.

I concur with those points too!

Yeah, I'll get this advertised when it's more set in stone. We need a good camera to take pics on the day.

As a Mod for BoLS I feel that I should probably be responsible for the younglings.

[Mr Mystery]

Groovy.

I've already altered my sig to link to this as best I can (it doesn't allow the url thingy though. Sad!). We need to advertise this as much as we can. I would love a good turnout for the inaugral games!

Once the date is set, I'll start knocking up more stuffs, like a checklist of things to bring with you (army, rulebook, codex, dice, measuring device, templates etc).

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've changed mine too, also altered thread title and OP. :D

I have altered your sig to URL format Mystery.

when these younglings are from scotland we can fend for ourselves :P (yeah im trusted to get a few trains, meet some random old people from the internet and then possibly either get more trains and end up in glasgow at 3 in the morning, OR stay the night in nottingham, (premeir inn calles 16 and over adult so no problems there)

also dammit mr.horseman of derailment, the other thread is the discussion thread!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Eh?

[Mr Mystery]

when these younglings are from scotland we can fend for ourselves :P (yeah im trusted to get a few trains, meet some random old people from the internet and then possibly either get more trains and end up in glasgow at 3 in the morning, OR stay the night in nottingham, (premeir inn calles 16 and over adult so no problems there)

also dammit mr.horseman of derailment, the other thread is the discussion thread!

Hush your gums. And get your sig changed!! Before I grumble about you trying to steal my thunder!!! :p

[alshrive]

count me in!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Spectacular. :D

[Wolfshade]

Your idea intrigues me

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

You should join Wolfie.


By the way guys, as of last night this event has Bigred's attention, upon the success of this event it may become officially sanctioned. :D
Exciting.

[alshrive]

i am planning on doing 1500 points of either necrons, chaos or maybe guard.......

[energongoodie]

I would like to chuck my name into the ring. My only issue is I have no fixed work schedule and so will only know nearer the time if I can make it. But I will make every effort to make the long trek up North.

I'm up for 1000 pointers and also a game of Blood Bowl if any one else is interested.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Cool!

[Wolfshade]

opefully, by then I'll have 500pts of painted minatures...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm unsure what to bring..... By that time I may have a significant Dark Angel force.
In which case I'll just bring Marines, don't want too many Necrons.
Plus, the Storm Wardens are eager for battle.

[DrLove42]

I will Tentaivly say i'm in. Can't know for sure without seeing the date.

As for points, 1500-2000 is a good area. 1000 may be quicker, but it gets sodding boring as by time you've included all the stuff you need, you've got nothing left for the fun stuff

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'd say just organise game sizes between yourselves.

[DrLove42]

Chances are, given army cases, I'll be carrying a 1000, 1500, 1850, 2000, 1678 and any other number army.

Only problem will be booking tables, particularly at weekends - Make sure its NOT in school summer holidays

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Summer Holidays? In March? Lolwat? :p

[DrLove42]

And by summer holiday i mean half term or easter break

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

THAT'S NOT SUMMER! *backhand slap*

Me and Mystery will get the organisation sorted, don't you fret.

[Mr Mystery]

you should join wolfie.


By the way guys, as of last night this event has bigred's attention, upon the success of this event it may become officially sanctioned. :d
exciting.

back of the net!!!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

It's quite awesome isn't it? :D

[Wolfshade]

I haven't yet confirmed, but i appreciate the enthusiasm

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'll put you as a maybe.

[DrLove42]

I vote everyone stays local and we just get drunk on the Saturday night!

How old would you be by next March Fuzz?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I was probably going to spend a couple of days there anyway.

[alshrive]

having lived in nottingham and worked for gw, i am more than happy to take you to all my favourite drinking holes throughout the city!

[Wolfshade]

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem (http://www.triptojerusalem.com/)

[fuzzbuket]

I vote everyone stays local and we just get drunk on the Saturday night!

How old would you be by next March Fuzz?

16: a adult in the eyes of brittish law( i think), oh and ive changed the sig



i am planning on doing 1500 points of either necrons, chaos or maybe guard.......
go look at the new starter kit. now you have chosen (chosen) :P

also is this going to be tourney style or are we just having a lot of pick up games?

EDIT: nope thats not working, how do i put hyperlinks in the sig?

[DrLove42]

I'd imagine its going to be a lot of pickups. Random points, random stuff, 2 v 2 matches, mix ups, and a lot of people just sitting in bugmans not playing...

[david5th]

Count me in. I think 2000 points of Guard is in order.

[Mr Mystery]

I'd imagine its going to be a lot of pickups. Random points, random stuff, 2 v 2 matches, mix ups, and a lot of people just sitting in bugmans not playing...

Yep this indeed.

The only organisation I'm doing is to get everyone in the same place at the same time, with armies for the same game system. Once we're all there, it's intended as a free for all inter-planetary, inter-species pagga!

[SotonShades]

I'm in. Probably bring a bit box of the KoptaForce, so a very flexible Ork force upto about 2k points.

Also, I want to get 6 of us playing the Bugman's Bar Game at some point. IS soo funny!

[Wolfshade]

I'm in. Probably bring a bit box of the KoptaForce, so a very flexible Ork force upto about 2k points.

Is that anything like the WD ork bar room game?

[DrLove42]

Never played that, but its a board game where you play drawfs and have to go to the bar and collect food and drink and bring it back to your table.

And then you get cards to inconvenience the payers, lay traps, start bar fights. Its good fun, and better with more people

[alshrive]

The Bugman Bar Game is brilliant, i have a copy at home in case of emergency! it is an absolute hoot to play in warhammer world!

[energongoodie]

I spent quite a chunk of my stag do playing Bugmans in Bugmans.

[Wolfshade]

I have no idea what bugmans game is but have a desire to play it

[Wildeybeast]

You should join Wolfie.


By the way guys, as of last night this event has Bigred's attention, upon the success of this event it may become officially sanctioned. :D
Exciting.

Which means what exactly?


opefully, by then I'll have 500pts of painted minatures...

I'm assuming as this a is friendly no comp thing we have no objections to unpainted armies? Because none of mine are finished and having just started another new one, that is unlikely to change....


I have no idea what bugmans game is but have a desire to play it

They have special table with a copy of the game actually built into it. Never played, but it looks like fun.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

No, they don't have to be painted at all.

I'm not sure what it means currently.

[Wolfshade]

No, they don't have to be painted at all.

I'm not sure what it means currently.

I though Warhammer World rules stated 3 colour minimum

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

We're not in a tournament.

[DrLove42]

No i think the actual venue applies a 3 Colour rule. Even to pick up games

It used to, but can't find it now

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=2200008&aId=6900034a

Look at all the awesome tables you can reserve!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

No way!

Better get painting.

[fuzzbuket]

i dont think they have to be painted but, on the internet we cant stare disapprovingly and go "tut tut tut" :P

kidding on its not mandatory. then again, having some fantastic painter paint your army for the low low price of *email me, but probably the cheapest out there* isnt mandatory either :P


yes i must shamlessly self promote myself :P


EDIT: i saw the tau,fort pain and another table at GDUK2012, fantastic stuff! i think we should see if we can get fort pain for the apoc battle at the end. (or the tau one!) and possibly have a 'hero+cmd squad' or a mass 500pt game on the zone mortalis one :D

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

yes i must shamlessly self promote myself

Self-defeating statement is self-defeating.

[Psychosplodge]

but it's next month...

[DrLove42]

Hes from the future! Quick capture him and make him tell us the Lottery numbers!

[david5th]

Quick question, are we going for 1 day event or making a weekend of it - 2 days?

[Mr Mystery]

I'll just be arranging for the Saturday. TBH, I'll likely be too hung over on the Sunday to be of any use at the board edge, and will likely just slope off home.

[SotonShades]

I'd advise making it an official saturday. People obviously welcome to turn up on the sunday, especially if they've stayed over at a hotel for the night. Gives people a chance to play against more people, or just chill with a pint and somegood natured chat in Bugman's. But only one official 'playdate'

[DrLove42]

If im travelli.g 5 hours up the country it'll be for 2 days at least. Maybe even on the friday before that

[fuzzbuket]

If im travelli.g 5 hours up the country it'll be for 2 days at least. Maybe even on the friday before that

ill be traveling back in time.


12 1314 5346 647

[energongoodie]

If im travelli.g 5 hours up the country it'll be for 2 days at least. Maybe even on the friday before that

+1

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm going to be there for a couple of days too.

[Psychosplodge]

If im travelli.g 5 hours up the country it'll be for 2 days at least. Maybe even on the friday before that

If it's taking 5 hours from Southampton you're going the wrong way...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

It takes me 3 hours to get there...

[Psychosplodge]

O_o public transport?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Train to Birmingham New Street, then train to Nottingham.

[Psychosplodge]

:eek:

[Wolfshade]

yes i must shamlessly self promote myself :P


Nah way man, you use different fonts on your blog.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

:eek:

It would be GLORIOUS.

[Wolfshade]

'bout an hour drive Birmingham to Nottingham

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I DON'T DRIVE.

Whargarbl.

[Wolfshade]

I'll probably be going by train.
I did contemplate cycling up, but my saddle bags are too small for army cases..,.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Well Wolfie, we could go on the train together?

[Wolfshade]

I did contemplate that, I might coincide it with a trip up to see friends in Nottingham so I've got a place to crash :) also go to the local rock night

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I will be using mostly fists.

[alshrive]

I will be catching a train up from just south of leicester and it will take me an hour to get their give or take. from there it is a lovely walk down the canal to WHW although i may be lazy and grab a cab. if anybody else is training it there it may be worth trying to organise our arrivals for a similar time and sharing a cab

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Would we still be game for room share Aaron?

[alshrive]

of course chum! i know just the place! its on the tram line from trainstation. it is about a 5 minute walk from rock city, and it is brilliant!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm not sleeping on a Tram line you sick f*ck

[DrLove42]

A certain amount of organisation could also be employed with people giving other folks lifts.

For example, I will hopefully have a car by then, so would be driving up. I'd have to go via Brum or very close to it to get to Notts

[alshrive]

well if anybody goes near leicester (more specifically Market Harborough), that would suit me, if not train is just as easy! and TDA sleeping on a tramline is great!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

We could chip in for fuel I suppose.
I'm cool whichever way! :D

I'm a Viking, we do not sleep on tram lines, we sleep on stone beds!

[DrLove42]

I know Mister Shades lives Nr Leicester, and i'd imagine he'd be driving

[alshrive]

if he is a regular at GW leics i may already know him from my time working there!! hmmmmm intruiging!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Plans are forming, this is glorious.

[DrLove42]

I think you just need to pick a date and set it so people cans tart planning. GW do the WHW calender 6 months in advance so March will be available soon. Just pick a weekend and run with it

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm not the organiser, that falls to Mystery. I'm merely the Moderator's representative.
I need to bring purple pens with me.

[alshrive]

TDA i just emailed you regarding an idea that could work with this Bolsmeet!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

VHAT IS THIS? I see nothing!

[alshrive]

i shall resend....I have resent!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I like the sound of this! Guys! We need two volunteers, see pic for details.

Me - Dark Angels
Aaron - Chaos
?? - ??
?? - ??

[Denzark]

Chaps a couple of thoughts here:

1. For those who want to know, i believe the Premier Inn (something something) Marina is the nearest - I have been there and walked the 5 minutes to WHW.

2. As to length, if a long, planned in advance trip, 2 days is probably better.

3. Actually I think we need to have some ideas of hwo we are going to game in advance. Call it an apoc, call it 2 vs 2, whatever, but we need to have a plan. If we just turn up and try and get 8+ gamers to agree to do something, all we will do is end up drinking in Bugmans. Not a bad plan but we can possibly do better if all we want is a lash up. Also this will piss off the people who bring 3k+ of models and stuff, and then get a half arsed pick up because we are drunk.

4. I think therefore, in terms of gaming format we arrnage for 1500pts over 3 games on Sat, 2 on Sunday. Arrnaage some type of who will play against who prior to. Doesn't have to be hard over on either painted or even citadel minis I think. If you want to go 2000pts I think we are going to get 2 games in mebbe unless we push hard - which is not as fun. Again, doesn't need to be tourny but simply hardended drinking and gaming with bragging rights.

5. TDA in terms of 'official BoLS Sanction' be careful - I am not too sure at which point UK child protection laws kick in and if official, would need CRB checked persons for the under 16s who don't have parents with them. I don't think GW/WHW are liable for this unless in the store in WHW or at an official GW event.

6. We have all expressed horror at gamer funk - be warned now!!! No smelly nurglings.




Not to be a killjoy but its not just aout meeting fellow BoLSters which will be fun enough - if we are gettingn permission from other halfs to escape for a weekend, we need to maximise gaming.

[DrLove42]

I...would be interested, if you want another starter box chaos set

[alshrive]

dear moderator who so kindly pasted my email, you may need to edit it for inappropriate content (the first line which i believe was your reply to it!)

[alshrive]

DrLove i want all the chaos i can get my greedy mits on!

You realise that this isn't until MARCH right?
We have plenty of time for details, which are being worked out as we speak.
As for U16's, I don't believe that there ARE any.


EDIT: Aaron, he wasn't offering, he wants his Chaos.

[alshrive]

we can have 2 chaos forces, nothing wrong with that!

[Denzark]

Haha hardened nipples.

I would volunteer for a tale of 4 gamers but would be cheating as most of my armies are purchased and part built/painted!

Although strenuous attempts to get to 100% painted may be amusing.

Sorry I meant U18s. Of which there will definitely be fuzzy.

[DrLove42]

I'm keeping my chaos's! They be awesome.

However are we talking about building a whole army and using it or just painting the stuff?

[alshrive]

my plan is to do a brand new chaos army from the end of september using the starter set (can't start at beginning due to the fact that i am "unfortunately" honeymooning). I would be looking to open either a thread or blog (possibly both) where members of the Tale could post up their progress each and every friday.... with set targets and a points scoring system with the winner receiving some token awared at the Bolsmeet....

can those are interested please pm me and i will work on this idea further...

ALShrive

[alshrive]

i want a progress-y blogg-y kinda thing, so maybe just from unpainted, although mine would be from scratch completely....

[DrLove42]

PM sent

[alshrive]

PM replied to!

[Psychosplodge]

Well if I do it, I might consider a new army for the event... all depends on funds lol

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I have censored myself, you can't be a proper Viking here.

I'm going to be doing a full Dark Angel army, but we should agree to a points limit before we decide to buy anything.

[alshrive]

hmmmm we have approximately 5 months, 1500 points? or 1250? or 1000?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hmmm... 1500 sounds reasonable.

[alshrive]

300 points per month, very doable! any objections?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I think that all I need to drop from my 2k points is the unit of Terminators in the Land Raider. :D

[alshrive]

i don't have a codex yet so i am going to start wiht the starter box, then get codex then decide what i need! lol

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Whereas my list is a lot more uncertain, my army is entirely dependant on when the DA codex comes out, if/when it does come out the entire list might change.

[DrLove42]

Well...i'm being a fecking idiot and starting a 4th army.

SMALL being the operative word (see how long that lasts for) Mid Heresy Word Bearers.

Chaos United and I get to use some chaosy models and some of the new FW pre heresy stuff

[Wolfshade]

Oh, do I spruce up an existing army BA, GK, Eldar, Orks or start a new one especially?

Hmmm

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

If you did ANY OTHER type of Word Bearers other than Chaos Undivided I would commit you to summary execution.

[DrLove42]

It means I can have Berserkers, Noise Marines and keep the Nurgle theme i want for my Hell Brute.

Just for the record...if the wife finds out about this i'm giving her your addresses, cos this is all your fault :p

[alshrive]

i just have to keep this hidden for another week and a bit and then i will actually have a wife! after that i will worry about the consequences of my actions and not losing her!

[alshrive]

Right so far we have
ALShrive- CSM (Nurgle)
TDA- Dark Angel
DrLove42- CSM Mid Heresy Word Bearers...

any other takers..

[SotonShades]

ALShrive, I do believe we have met, but you were working at GW Leics most of the time I was in Southampton and left before I came back.

Also I would volunteer for the To4G, but I really need to get further with my Orks first. And my next tournament list. And my Armoured Company. and My Sm battle Company. And my SM First company...
and all the rest of the stuff I have piled around me lol.

[alshrive]

use To4G as an excuse to get some stuff done!

[SotonShades]

I have excuses. All I lack is time and, thanks to my less than perfect mental health, motivation. The less sad pills (not really strong enough to be considered happy pills :P) are at least helping with the last nit though.

Also, I want to show of Da KoptaForce, and I am way too far into them to be starting a To4G with them :P

[alshrive]

how much of the kopta force have you got left? you could maybe do the remaining parts as part of To4G?!

[fuzzbuket]

i could do TO4G? ive only done 3 models of my new IF army and would be converting some of the starter kit to IF. and as i paint for my blog it would be simply reposting!

as for the whole U18 shennanigins i dont think that any sort of problem could arise. as i will be responsible for my own transport (i have talked with my parents and they are perfectly happy for that, and i possibly will either bunk with a auntie in stork or simply stay at the premeir inn by myself if its a weekend thing.) and for inside WHW there should be no problem.


if anyone has any specific concerns PM me and ill sort it out :)

[fuzzbuket]

EDIT: UPDATE


5. TDA in terms of 'official BoLS Sanction' be careful - I am not too sure at which point UK child protection laws kick in and if official, would need CRB checked persons for the under 16s who don't have parents with them. I don't think GW/WHW are liable for this unless in the store in WHW or at an official GW event.


ehm could someone PM me some details about this? i know its a lot of work/responsibility but sadly my parents now are getting unsure (and a little brother that insists on telling stab stories isnt helping :/)

thankyou, i really want to go :)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm reading it now fuzz.

Actually, all I'm reading is frigging what to do in a court if you suspect a child is being abused...
VHAT IS THIS!?

[Denzark]

I'm not trying to **** stop anyone. I thing it will be awesome to meet up. A group of random friends meeting up is subject to NO legisation.

However, a formed organisation may have to have CRB checks for its representatives who deal with those U18. I understand (I am prepared to be wrong) that all GW shop managers do so, in case they are alone in a shop with a U18. Would you believe instructors at UK military training establishments have to be if they will have contact with those rare joiners who are under 18 - you can join up from 16 3/4 I believe with parental permission.

Admitedly I am no expert - its just something that needs to be discounted - if we are saying TDA is going representing BoLS, it could be said that there is an organsiation to represent. If this is the case the worst case scenario is that we need to at least rule it out - or just happen to be a group of friends one of whom has a camera and writes on a blog afterwards...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Let's go with that! My head hurts!

[Wolfshade]

In terms of Child Protection, we only need it if it is a convention, if it is a group of friends meeting up then there isn't a requirement for one; unless we are tutoring Fuzz.
So I think, but would need to check, if it a Group of Friends who coincidentally have 40k and BoLS in common we should be ok and the CP is covered by WHW, if it is the BoLS UK meet up then it might be murky.
The other thing is that we would need a specific CP check for our organisation. Additionally, if we had a GW employee who was on our group we might be ok, I'll research.
In other news I have had several checks previously.

[Wildeybeast]

Couple of points.

1) WHW has no requirements on painted models, I game there regularly with my partially painted stuff as do most of the people there. Since there is no one actually supervising the gaming hall, you can get away with using a few non GW models so long as you don't take the p1ss.

2) I have no idea on the CRB thing but as a teacher I am fully CRB checked if that helps. I honestly don't think we need to worry about this, parents basically use the place as free daycare and just drop their kids there whilst hiding in the bar, or often just abandoning them altogether by the look of it. The only issue for Fuzz is whether his parents are happy with him getting there and back and staying on his own.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

We'll guard him with our lives, right fellas?
BATTLE-BROTHERS and all that.

[Wolfshade]

With regard to 2.
CRB checks are non-transferrable, as a consequence I've had three and at one stage my sister had seven. Yay!
Also, at WHW they are their guests, GW runs it and therefore have the necessary safeguarding procedures.

Oh actually, as of Feb-11 CRB rules have changed.

1stly they are now transferable so if we need one we have people who have had them.
2ndly, unless Fuzz needs any special condition that requires healthcare concerns then a 1 off event requires no CRB checks.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

That settles that!

Here's a couple of ideas from me.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

energon wins.

[miteyheroes]

I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but a chance to go to WHW and play some games sounds good.

[TSINI]

Count me in for this guys, been wanting to do one of these myself, but just havent got the right gaming group yet. I've been up to WHW a few times for FW open days (couldnt do this year though :( ) bugmans is excellent for food (you won't go hungry) and it's a decent bar. We could also go out for a meal after a day of gaming...

Sorry if these points have been made, ill catch up with the rest of the thread when I'm not on my phone.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Awesome guys!

And somewhere in the small print 'because Mr Mystery is hella cool'

All GW staff have to do them.

But relax. I am CRB checked. May need to get another if this goes all official, but all is good!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

We have like 5 people here with CRB checks. :p

[DrLove42]

Just remember WE ARE NOT A GROUP CONVENTION/ ORGANISATION

We are just a group of friends meeting up as a group for fun and games. GW doesn't allow external events or comps at WHW anymore

[david5th]

I'm CRB checked aswell.

[Wolfshade]

One off "events" don't legally require them any more. :)

[Cow]

It means I can have Berserkers, Noise Marines and keep the Nurgle theme i want for my Hell Brute.

Just for the record...if the wife finds out about this i'm giving her your addresses, cos this is all your fault :p

She really is crazy, I still think you should stick to being pure word bearers, and just have a random nurgle hellbrute

[Cow]

Hi all, as I am now starting to use the lounge I very interested in this, it seems like it doesnt matter for this event but I am a teacher so have an up to date CRB. I am happy for normal games but to be honest if im going all the way up to nottingham from southampton and warhammer world has such amazing boards I want to play some apoc. Especially as they have a tomb kings board which would work brilliantly as part of prospero for my heresy thousand sons. Anyone got some space wolves or 1k sons?

[SotonShades]

Apocolypse sounds good to me.

How about on the Saturday, we play small games along the lines of 1000-1500 points 40k, Bugman's Bar game etc. Then on Sunday we roll out the big guns, with everyone who can bringing 3-4000 points and a superheavy (max two Strength D weapons) that doesn't count towards your points. Balance out the sides best we can and have one holy mess of a big game?

This way we get the chance to get to know one another a bit more first, get to see all the armies we want etc and still get to take part in a big event game. Obviously anyone who doesn't want to doesn't have to and people don't have to have a minimum of 3k points (hence the balancing sides comment) as I know a few people only have list armies rather than big collections. Yes? No? Pigeon?

I really like that idea, as it gives as the chance to use some of the awesome boards that they have at warhammer world for apoc.

[Denzark]

I would like to run out my apoc big guns. I take it everyone will accept the old skool BoLS unit sheets like the Cauldron of Blood etc!

Sounds good to mini game Sat, apoc sun. If you're going to limit anything it should be outflank not D weapons!

[Cow]

What are the old skool units? Are there links for them?

[Denzark]

Yeah - at linky - see the lords of battle play aid thingy...

http://www.flylords.net/2009/09/40k-mini-dex-logo-sheet-archive.html

[SotonShades]

... I take it everyone will accept the old skool BoLS unit sheets like the Cauldron of Blood etc!...

... If you're going to limit anything it should be outflank not D weapons!

I wholeheartedly agree on outflank! As for the old datasheets, it would probably be a goood idea to check/update the wording on them for 6th ed compatibility before the day itself. Obviously if an official GW data sheet has come out since, I'd suggest that would have to be used instead. Especially as we will be in GW!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

This all sounds cool. I'm all for it.

I should easily have 3000 points of Marines, now I have to find carrying apparatus....

Does Mr Mystery (the organiser) have any objections?

[Night System]

Oooo I want to join in :) being in Leicester with Aaron and shades means some form of efficient transportation (want a lift?) can be arranged.

What army I'll bring I have no idea, if we do apocalypse probs my chaos so I can use my defilers/knight titans.

Also I am fine with joining in with the tale of 4 gamers with my angels of redemption, see my project post for details :)

It didn't have context with the then-current conversation. :p

I'm sorry that you are so ... linear with your thinking

I'm sorry that you are so ... linear with your thinking

This new system is seriously f*cking with my chi...

Also on topic, whilst I love the apoc, I have heard a few nightmare tales about monster sized games. Turn 1, team goes first - half destroys opposition. Turn 2, only player 1 team gets to go because we have run out of time and we have to go home to mum.

Also on topic, there is a distinct lack of Eldargal pitching in and saying she is providing an entire warhost of pointy eared pansies for us to smasdh upon...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've already spoken to her, she thinks that she's going to be busy...

[Psychosplodge]

She's washing her hair...

Are the tables big enough for apocalypse though? or do they let you put them together?

[Denzark]

I don't think the 'special' tables (or maybe themed is a better term) are big enough. The massive rows of 6 x 4s are - however seem to be covered nowadays in realm of battle boards. So sometimes the edges don't match, ie hill in corner against a flat piece. Still an entire row is probably 60 foot long so big enough methinks...

[Psychosplodge]

oh are they joined together these days?

I thought you could walk all the way round each one, but yeah if they're in strips I can see it would work...

[DrLove42]

Some of the big tables, like the massive cities and stuff...basically most of the "bookable" tables are big enough

[SotonShades]

whilst I love the apoc, I have heard a few nightmare tales about monster sized games. Turn 1, team goes first - half destroys opposition. Turn 2, only player 1 team gets to go because we have run out of time and we have to go home to mum.

That is one of the reasons i suggested a max army size per person (usually a person can move and shoot with sub-4k in a reasonable amount of time) and a limit on superheavies/Str D weapons. The other thing to remember whne playing is we really will only be playing for fun. As soon as you start to try and get competitive about winning and take time making decisions, that is where things start to drag. The chaos of a multiplayer game, where one of the people on your side moves stuff to where you wanted to move your models or puts something that blocks your line of sight actually helps give the feel of a mass army, with less coordination between the disparate forces. So much fun. And if you've finshed moving your stuff, volunteer to help move your team mates' stuff, rather than just hanging back.

The other advice I'd offer is that you have to pay attention and communicate, more so in your opponants' turn. Knowing when your stuff is getting shot at/assaulted means you know what saves you need to make/which models you need to take off. It is so annoying when people see their opponants turn as an excuse to chat or run off to get a drink or snack. Not so bad during their movement phase, but when they come back and find half their army off the table with no idea why...

I also suggested playing on the second day for this reason. Knowing the people you are uo against makes the game move so much quicker and more fairly than in pick-up/store games where everyone is only playing for their own amusement, rather than to help everyone have fun.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Soton...

TL;DR. :D

isnt she sorta on the wrong side of the atlantic?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

She's British dude! :p

[isotope99]

On the strip tables, you can flip round the ROB tiles so that the hills match up if you need to, or as stated above, the big display tables are usuually big enough for apocalypse.

I'd be interested in coming along, depending on the final dates. WHW's 2013 calendar should show up in a month or so to help figure out dates for when there are no ToS events.

[energongoodie]

I won't have masses of points painted up so I'd be up for some smaller games as well if others are up for it. Or I could just be a small detachment in the big battle.

[fuzzbuket]

considering that there is now +- 12 people going even if we all brought 1500-3000 pts and lumped them together we could easily get 10k points a side

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hell yeah!

I'm feeling good about this.

[SotonShades]

Soton...

TL;DR. :D

Sorry, but you know what I'm like :P

Yeh, looking good for a decent Apoc game. Deffinitely advise sticking to the Apoc ruling that everything should be WYSIWYG. As for those who can't bring such big forces, thats often an advantage! If you are smaller target, you are often considered less of a threat... Probably survive longer unless you start killing a lot of stuff lol

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hahahaha, you know that I read it Soton. :D

Sorry for being out of the system for a while (honeymoon interring with my Bolsing, how dare it!)

anyway here is the official announcement re; TO4G

Can anybody and everyone who wants to take part in this please PM the following details so i can get the blog started.
Name: (either real or your Bols one- or both if you swing that way)
Army:
Current Status of said Army: e.g started but doing an expansion, starting as brand new, etc etc

Then i will be able to get the blog started and we will take it from there!

oh also if you are a user of Blogger already (the googley one) give me your e-mail you are registered with and i will give you access so you can update your own bits as and when you want!

Tale of Four Gamers. A VERY irregular (i.e. every few years they do a series) of articles in White Dwarf) wherein four guys from GW build and paint an army each for a specific system.

Here's an article on GW's website that's related: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=2400100-gws .

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Don't we all! Wait until you have to pay rent fuzz! :p

alshrive is dealing with the Tale of Four Gamers event, so if you have any queries then please forward them to him. :)

[david5th]

I'm confused, is the tale of four gamers separate to the BOLS play date or just another name for it because its in this thread.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

It's an event within an event if you get me?
So some of us have recently started armies and want to get them painted for the playdate, so we set up a competition.
We paint up our new armies for the Playdate, then we can get judged on how well we've done, as for prizes, well, we'll see what happens. I'll get SOMETHING sorted. :)

[david5th]

Oh, I see now. It's kind of like a best painted/army prize you get at TOS but completely different because this is not a competitive event, simply people meeting up and if asked totally not a competition because of WW and their rules. ;)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Something like that. :p

[DrLove42]

We need to sort out a date for this soon. Some people might need time off work, im also probably going on Holiday in Feb and would hate for the two to clash

[fuzzbuket]

and alshrive hasnt organised anything apart from whoever is painting :P so if we can get a solid date thatd be great! (preferably early feb)

[DrLove42]

Looking at the Calender

Feb16-17
Feb 23-24

Are the only 2 free weekends....until the end of March

So it has to be one of these. I don't want to steal Mysteries job organising, but i suggest people say which one is better for you!

[Psychosplodge]

Erm, theoretically either, but 16-17th is nearest to valantines and could cause issues for some...
Unless either clash with the MCM telford, then I'll prob be going to that as have people that rely on me...

[DrLove42]

Quick google search - MCM is the 16th Feb

So guess your vote goes for the 23rd....

[Psychosplodge]

I didn't relalise they'd annouced it this early, as i haven't been pestered for the funds for my ticket yet lol. so yes indeed, however if you're doing a two day thing and the 16th best for people i might drop down on the sunday to say hi

[DrLove42]

Well i'll be there for both days, if i'm travelling all that way and staying locally so we can go out in the evening i'll be there for all of it

[david5th]

Either for me but prefer 23rd + 24th.

[fuzzbuket]

i can make both weekends (HOPEFULLY)

So it has to be one of these. I don't want to steal Mysteries job organising, but i suggest people say which one is better for you!

Don't know if you mean your calendar or WHW's Dr, but the first weekend in feb on the WHW is just masterclass events which happen somewhere else and don't take up the hall so that would be free too and isn't next to half term. Don't know how popular LOTR throne of skulls is any more fior second w/end in feb but doubt it would take the whole hall either.

[DrLove42]

I did mena the WHW calender not mine.

It is possible that we could go the Masterclass weekends if it was better for others. But i think with all the extar people there for that places like Bugamsn would be busier than normal, possibly deteriorating the day.

As for the popularity of the LotR comp, i think its best to avoid that weekend. It might not be the most popular event but it will fill the place up.

Half terms, most places tend to be early to mid feb, 6-7 weeks after coming back from Christmas. So going end of month should avoid them mostly.

With the few responses we've got would it be fair to suggest to our Organiser (Mystery) that the weekend of the 23rd would be best for people?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

THE PEOPLE!

[Psychosplodge]

Currently looks best, but I'd let a few more comment first...

[Denzark]

23-24th for me. I obviously reserve the right to sack you all off at little to no notice if I get a better offer from a loose moraled and large breasted wench.

Or in the equally unlikely event that the other 2 ladies in my life, the Memsahib and HMtQ decide they have a more pressing call on my time.

[Psychosplodge]

Any more than a handfuls a waste.
But all plans are justifiably cancel-able if there's a near certainty of carnal knowledge...

[Night System]

I game at ww quite a lot, and any of the days will be good for me, though I will say that the master class weekend will not make bugmans full, they take on only around 20 people if that.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I hope that I'll have the funds available to be able to go...

I only had money for Games Day because it was my birthday on Games Day...

The BoLS 36hour bus ride to collect everyone for a weekend of gaming? it wouldn't be glorious...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

It would.

[Mr Mystery]

Right then folks! Quick update.

I'll be contacting Warhammer World tomorrow to book some tables. I'm thinking about 10 for all day gaming, for an as yet unspecified weekend in April.

There is also a new thread in the Oubliette, discussing the possibility of a bitz box bash, making models to be auctioned off for an as yet unselected charity. If this sounds fun, I ask only that you bring your own bitz to contribute to the pile! This will also give people something to do between games, or if you fancy a break. ANYTHING goes, aiming for terrain, characters and possible even units. There is no minimum contribution, nor is any contribution necessary, but obviously the more bitz, the better the models. The better the models, the more we can raise for charidee!
