Its bad enough playing games designed for spotty thirteen year olds and greasy heavy metal fans with bad body odour problems but to announce to the world and then take pictures is just perverted! You sad fuckers!!!
I have calculated that my complete force has a points value of 836 points with no heavy support or elite components. I have just HQ, Fast Attack and and two divisions of troops. I can therefore call upon a force to fit any points value equal to or less than that.
It would have to be this Friday - Rachael's dad is coming down for the weekend on Saturday so Friday night would have to be the time for death and mayhem.
Do you think 4 way battles will work properly ? Are there any special rules for that - I am concerned that whichever player goes last will find that they no longer have any army left after the first 3 have blown it out of existence on their first goes. A lot of battle reports I have read on the internet seem to indicate a good proportion of your troops can be wiped out in the first round before you even get to move them if you're not careful.
I was thinking that, not sure which combinations would be best - probably wont make any difference at this stage !
These are the key strengths/weaknesses of generic armies of the types we have.
Orks: rubbish shooting, great close combat
Necron: great shooting, rubbish close combat
Space Marine: not bad at everything
Dark Eldar: good shooting, fast
Battled phil on Friday. I think we both thought I was winning - until his orcs got up close and then they cause shit loads of damage. My little men (stranded by helicopter crash in an orc-infested hell-city) were just tinned meat for their savagery.
However, the Chapter have learnt from this and HQ are busy reorganising units and updating tactics to cope with this new menace.
I happened to be passing GW today, and happened to go inside to see if they had one or two special weapons I think might be useful and looking at my purchases the man said "Ah ha, you are a man of taste and distinction I see". He then asked for "8 of your English Pounds Sirrah !" to which I avoided eye contact, muttered my thanks and left.
By the sounds of it I only need to arm my skullduggeress crew with feathers to reduce your wimpy warriors to quivering jellies. Needless to say we will come better armed than that.
Of course, according to Warhammer rules and GW regulars there is NO WAY that certain armies can work together. DO we really have the force of will to go against the GW crew?
I think the easiest way to sort it is to have four armies of equal point value and then randomly determine who goes with who. It does raise the question of a 3way... maybe then if 2 people have smaller armes they can join up against one person with a bigger one.
BY the way.. I have almost finished the cityscape - which means our first battle can be on alien-swampland or destroyed city. The former allows for more open fighting, the latter for more cover.
Well-painted they may be and well-detailed too but it is surely a pity that they will be broken and destroyed by the might of my marines before sundown.
CLUB inhabit a city in Middle England called Birmingham, their mission is to find amusing, diverting and character building activities with which to while away the time left before the last remaining member is dead. Joining CLUB is easy, leaving is - under some circumstances - even easier.

And that was from the caring sharing Richard.

I think we should arrange our frist skirmish for an upcoming Friday or Saturday night... any preferences??
Strike whilst the Iron is Hot
How about this coming weekend ? I think the weekend after that would be unsuitable but the one after that would also be fine.
This Friday

What's the plan ?
I am thinking of going to the Custard Factory this Friday . . .
boo!!!
Then your doom will come later... Are you going to the reunion first?
No, reunions scheenoonians I
No, reunions scheenoonians I say. Humbug.

We do need to think about the rules in some detail... Maybe we should have two armies working together for some reason??

The easy solution is who ever wants to win needs to be with the necrons.
Phil supreme

Sounds Fun
First blood to Orcmaster Lewis then !

£8 for your soul
I wonder what you purchased for your gay army - a tickle stick, perhaps?

What are you on about?
What has happened?
What has this website turned into? For once I am starting to agree with Rich on this one!
Succumb
Let yourself go! Join us... join us....
It's cool
Once I hit 30 I've noticed I have begun to feel much much younger children.
Hmm...
I hope you are cleared in your upcoming trial
Yup
The judge says he feels the same way himself so I have nothing to worry about.
