A Tale of a Winter Rumble

[Pherion]

Ok, we all agreed we'd have a 2k army painted by the next time we wanted to get together, which is already starting to approach! God how time flies ;; We've got 5 months till December, so lets get cracking!

Later today I'm going to be writing up a 2k SM list that I want to get painted for our next gathering, so show me what you've got, post your list, or a general idea of how its going to be, then start posting WIPs! We've only got 5 months! :sick:

(anyone else who wants to try and get a 2k army done is welcome to join as well!)

[Artsoldier35]

Aaarrgghh! (No that's not a waaagh) Since we've met, I've gotten exactly 4 Burnas painted.

Here's my list and status of paint

HQ
Warboss ChompGobb - Fully Painted
Big Mek - (have one fully painted but the one I want to use is halfway painted)

Troops
'Ard Boys - x20 fully/mostly painted to include Nob upgrade (Battlewagon needs more paint)
Trukk Boys (shoota) - 12 Table top quality to include Big Shoota and Nob upgrade (Trukk complete)
Trukk Boys (Shoota) - 12 Table top quality to include Big Shoota and Nob upgrade (Trukk needs more paint)
Nobz - 11 Some fully painted, some primed (needs lots of paint work here) (Humma fully painted)

Elites
Burnas - 9 fully painted (Battlewagon needs more paint)
Lootas - 10 (Fully painted)

Fast attack
Deffkoptas - 4 needs paint

2K points

So, it's well within the realm of possibilities to get these done at least to table top quality. BUT, I have a baby coming....maybe sooner than later. Wish me luck in both the painting and the baby.

And I'm going out on a limb to say you'll get yours done and I'll probably STUMBLE hard. Hehe. Good luck with your army painting.

[Pherion]

I'm hoping this thread will give me some motovation! Lots to paint, and some fun stuff. I'm especually looking forward to the Inquisitor and his retinue. They are going to be a blast to paint. I'll be doing them one at a time, so they don't all look the same. Even if I use the same colors on some of them, I'm hoping I end up with differnt shades to keep them individual! Should be fun :-P

P.S. Cons? CK? Where's your stuff!? :-P

[Artsoldier35]

Me TINKS DEY BE SKAIRED!

[Consadine]

I might use your Eldar, Pherion! :laugh: I do want to have a few games with them, though, so there aren't so many Marine vs Marine games going on.

Not sure on a 2k list yet. I do like the one I had, although I might trade the sniper scouts with something else.

[Pherion]

Let me know what you want to do for the Eldar, and I'll make sure its painted (if i have time!) lol... You've got most all the options except harlequins... I think I have everything else in the codex LOL

[Captain Kellen]

Ok... I'm scared... :silly: :p

Now, I've been toiling with lists. I'm out of town until the 20th of August so I don't quite know what I will need to paint and/or build. So let me reveal my fall...

How the mighty have fallen...

[Artsoldier35]

CK, I read your other thread on these guys and I am honored you think my Boyz are a threat. HEHE. As you can see, I'll be bringing my same list but hopefully a lot more experienced. i may change some numbers around in my elites groups though. How's three squads of 7 lootas each sound?..........LOUD! WAAAUGH!

[Pherion]

Didn't you know! Lootas are allergic to Richmond. They always manage to find themselves in the dog bowl.......

By the way... Are you freaking serious all that fits in a 2k army >.> ....... Gosh the puppies are broken!

[Captain Kellen]

How's three squads of 7 lootas each sound?..........LOUD! WAAAUGH!

Huh? What? Ice Pirates was playing on the DVD player? :laugh:

Very well done Pherion!

I'm still list building. I'm getting close, so very close, with The Fallen Angels. Too bad it wasn't 2500 points, then we would have all the toys!

I retire to the corner for tea and cookies,

Now, time to talk...

The first thing you notice is that I have exchanged some mobility for CC capability. I've also added two units which I have never used before which are the scouts.

Let's get the obvious out of the way. Yes, there is a very large unit of The Inner Circle. They aren't staying together except on paper. Here it goes...

One each of the TH + SS marines can go with the scouts or one will be attached to a tactical squad. If I'm attaching a TH + SS marine to tactical unit then Maleagant (twin lightning claws) will go with this unit. In effect the mentioned tactical squad will have 4 marines, 1 marine with a power weapon, a character, and TH + SS or twin lightning claws.

The principles above also apply to the other dual Inner Circle members. An opponent will never know which combination of guys will be in unit until I deploy. The only exception to this are the three Inner Circle with storm bolters. If facing hordes I'll put one each in the heavy weapons squads boosting them from five to six members.

The scouts are interesting because I can attach an Inner Circle member (one in each squad) to these units. The FAQ specifically states that an Inner Circle member (wolf guard) member does not effect their special rules as he is not an independant character. I now ask you to look at the inner circle and realize the combinations of scout loadouts I could bring to the enemy.

The scouts 'behind enemy lines' special rules mean I could appear on the enemies long table edge. Two units of scouts arriving this way will have to be dealt with and with my ability to arrive with the Inner Circle leading them... I would be very afraid.

The speeders have been upgraded from my DA list to include heavy flamers. I suspect that arriving from deep strike will cause some havoc on enemy armour or units cowering in cover. They will perform their mission and die when ordered.

The Heavy weapon units, The Archangels, allow me to deal with six differing targets with krak or frag with their fire-control ability. Adding a character or Inner Circle to them bolsters their wound count.

I'll have four razorbacks with twin-linked lascannon's and three rhino's. I think I'll have some blockers and/or wrecks to block line of site.

Ahhhh... the corner's tapped at the moment...

[Artsoldier35]

NASTY! Very Bad Captain Kellen! Now I have to start planning on how I would handle that. Hmmmm Let's see...get Ork Boyz riled up and then go Krumping? Or Get Ork Boyz riled up and then go krumping. Tough choice. I think I'll go with Ork Boyz riled up and get to KRUMPING! I'm really looking forward to this winter's get together.

This army actually looks really really tough (aside from their rainbow streak). There is a LOT of firepower in there. What worries me is the three squads of Long Fangs. These units are in Razor Backs, meaning there are no fire points. So unless you want to deploy them outside of their tank, they are going to spend a few turns doing just about nothing. And with four 48 in range weapons per unit, I think you're going to want them firing right off. That can wreak a lot of damage first turn, but if you have to disembark, you can't shoot as well.

[Captain Kellen]

Oh, that list is so... two days ago... what you'll be seeing soon are the 'Pherion Notes' version of this list that got tweeked...

By the way... the long fangs don't have to start the game inside the transport... so I could just set up and start shooting, leaving the razorback to move and shoot.

...and the rockets red glare, eldar/orks/IG bursting in air, shown through, through the night, that the Fallen were still there!

CK

[Consadine]

I was wondering if we should make the buildings/ruins that are 2+ stories vulnerable to collapsing from incoming fire like they were proper, undemolished buildings. Thoughts?

I'm torn between bringing Eldar and my Dark Angels... can I bring both (tehcnocally I don't bring Eldar, that's Pherion's department :p)? Speaking of which... Pherion, how many Swooping Hawks do you have? Wraithguard?

[Captain Kellen]

I was wondering if we should make the buildings/ruins that are 2+ stories vulnerable to collapsing from incoming fire like they were proper, undemolished buildings. Thoughts?



I have to take alook at the BRB... I'm pretty sure we can shoot at buildings but am unsure about them collapsing. I would have to make ruble craters the same size of the building to simllate the pulverisation.

I have 10 hawks. 10 Wraithguard (only 5 painted).

[Artsoldier35]

So, question! Are we going to run entirely at the house or make a jump to the store again? If you want to do the house thing I can bring up another table and some terrain. Or whatever.

[Captain Kellen]

Ahhh... I don't know about the house, meaning, it's up to you guys. We could set up two tables at the house, one in the kitchen and one in the down stairs living room pretty easy I think.

[Captain Kellen]

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/Retunue/Plasma2_08_19_10e.jpg

Ooohhh... plasma-eee goodness!

[Captain Kellen]

I have looked up the rules for shooting at buildings and it doesn't seem to complicated. However, we could do one of two things...

1. I could try and build some actual buildings to match my terrain. This would require you guys to brush up on the rules for moving in/out, shooting in/out, and assaulting in/out.

2. We could count my terrain as buildings and then just use the rules included in the BRB. All I would have to do then is create 'exploded' building craters.

Which corner do you want or is there a third corner I missed?

CK

[Pherion]

I'm game either way, as long as the rules make sense. :-P

[Artsoldier35]

I don't have much that could level a building so it's all good to me. The whole assault into and out of is moot as I will almost always be going last anyway.

Anyway, here's my 2K list and status of paint. (1989 points)

[Pherion]

Finally! The Dark Puppies have arrived :-P Welcome to the club of, "Oh god I've got lots to paint!"

[Consadine]

I'm working on an Eldar list (this is proving to be hard) and a fun Dark Angels list (Azrael!).

Pherion, would you mind PMing me a rough list of the models available? I've got 1 Swooping Hawk to contribute...

[Captain Kellen]

Finally! The Dark Puppies have arrived :-P Welcome to the club of, "Oh god I've got lots to paint!"

Part of the fun, all part of the fun.

Imagine four or five fully painted armies with my terrain... I think it's worthy of some pictures.

By the way gentelmen,

You guys need to decide if you want to hang at the house or travel up to the store.

CK

[Pherion]

I'm game with just the house. But if you guys want to goto the store there were some cool people there as well :-P

Edit: if we stay at the house, we need a 2nd table.

[Consadine]

I have no problems duking it out at the house. Helps to keep things simple.

[Captain Kellen]

I can handle the second table issue. We'll put it in the downstairs livingroom. Artsoldier35 said he had some more terrain but I can work on some things for my tree's so splitting things will be easy.

I would like for Artsoldeir35 to chime in though before we call it... out of courtesy of course.

I'm reading over the 'building' rules some more before I explain them hear. I think we can do it but I'll need to build some rubble piles.

CK

[Artsoldier35]

2nd table is a go then! I gots a second table. I have terrain but it's mainly single level stuff. Ie..wreckage, barriers, craters, hills. My table is a large (4x6) particle board table with two sides painted. I also have a ZUZZY mat for coverage. So let me know what you'd like me to bring down and I will.

Edit: I am calling foul on Consadine for taking the easy way out of painting an Army by asking Pherion to bring his. I have a bunch of stuff to paint so you should have to paint also. :P

[Pherion]

I'm working on an Eldar list (this is proving to be hard) and a fun Dark Angels list (Azrael!).

He's got two armies!

[Consadine]

He's got two armies!

I don't know if I want to use Eldar the entire weekend. Costs me nothing to bring the DA and gives me a few more options.

[Captain Kellen]

Children, (See what I did there!)

I say we stay at the house unless some sort of event 40K related is happening at the store the date we set. So with that said we'll plan at being at the house.

I'll get back to yall (My accent from eight years at Ft Benning and three weeks of work in Georgia has returned!)

CK

[Artsoldier35]

FINE! (crosses arms and pouts as he goes back to his painting of many many Orks.)

[Artsoldier35]

Update: I've finished painting one of my Trukks and my WAAAGH Banner NOB (who can be seen in Rumble or Stumble 12 thread). Currently working on my Painboy and a bunch of trades. If everything goes as planned, One of my Trukk boy mobs will be my internet embassadors otherwise i will use my painted Shoota Boyz.

[Pherion]

WEEEEE Progress!!!! :) Soon as rex is done, I'll post a pic or two of full retinue + Rex.

[Pherion]

Da daa!

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/Hector_Rex/WithRetinue.jpg

And Art, this one is for you! :devil:

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/Dreadnaught2/09_26_10.jpg

[Captain Kellen]

Ooooh! The Inquistor is getting feisty... need to dig deeper into my corner...

[Artsoldier35]

NOOOOOOOO!!! They killed Kenny! Grab your gunz boyz We'z gunna go Krumpin'!

Nice base Pherion. Get some red on that boy though.

[Musashi]

Im assumig this meet is, as usual, up in the north?

[Artsoldier35]

Um....it's in Virginia, USA! Sorry to confuse you.

[Pherion]

We're North if you live in Florida, but I suspect from your latitude we'll be South!!!

[Musashi]

haha, oh, USA... close.... dont e sorry, my bad.

[Nomad]

Tale of a SUMMER rumble, winter's over folks.

[Artsoldier35]

HAHA! If we were doing this in backwards land then yes it would be. Sadly it will be up here in the north and it will be winter.

[Pherion]

First squad done!

[Inquisitor023]

You need to get a Salamander... :exasperated:

[Pherion]

Got any Salamander shoulder pads? They are one I didn't get.

[Skringly]

If I ever get some spare shoulder pads (Red Scorpion) I'll donate ya' one.

[Artsoldier35]

Awesome and I love the diffeent Shoulder pads! Great Job!

[Pherion]

Rhino done! Pictured with my Vindicator... slightly different reds ><

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/Tanks/Rhino1_10_22_10e.jpg

[Artsoldier35]

Looking good.

[Captain Kellen]

Three more models to be built and two to be modified then its heavy into painting.

I think no one will deny me to use lightning claw guys as 'Mark of the Lion' marines (Mark of the Wulfen).

http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu185/CaptainKellen/Junk/marked.jpg



So where are we at in our project... or are you scared? :laugh:

[Pherion]

There's not enough tanks!

I am on leave for the next three weeks, so, maybe, MAYBE I can get some painting in. I actually have everything I need built and primered. If i can actually get the stuff painted i might do some new models and conversions to replace older models.

Anyway, here's my 2K list and status of paint. (1989 points)

Second tactical squad (http://www.arolkay.com/RecentJobs/Deathwatch/Tac2Completed.php) is done!!!

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/Tac_Marines2/10_29_10i.jpg

[Artsoldier35]

I don't know....I'm thinking a little rushed. The sergeant has a massive mold line on his gun arm. Are you feeling the pressure of the Winter Rumble? I know I am.

[Pherion]

A bit. I'm also finding a balance for speed vs quality on these guys. Think I did go a bit too fast on these. But eh gads, that mold like is horrendous, no idea how I missed it :(

[LutherMax]

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/Tac_Marines1/Squad_10_11_10b.jpg

Is that a Blood Angel shoulder pad I see back left? Not one if the metal bitz pack ones, surely - they're too small...

[Pherion]

Almost all of the shoulder pads are the pewter ones from GW. A few (the Black Templars and maybe the Ultramarines) are plastics that I got in trades. A few of them are a bit small, but with a bit of force and maybe some sandpaper, they fit fine :)

[Pherion]

The Army as it stands!

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/ArmyShot_10_29_10.jpg

Any bets if I can get it done in the month we have left!? On that note... Do we have a date yet?

[Captain Kellen]

I suggest... sometime over the days of the 27th of December through the 30th. What do you guys think?

[Pherion]

It needs to be a weekend :( I couldn't get off work during the week.... even around Christmas.

[Artsoldier35]

Yes, weekend is best for me too.

[Captain Kellen]

Well... the first weekend it Christmas and the Second is New Years for the holidays this year. I'm a no-go for the Christmas weekend but could to the New Years Day and the 2nd of January.

Any suggestions of other dates?

[Consadine]

Kicking off the new year with 40k sounds awesome :grin:

[Inquisitor023]

Kicking off the new year with 40k sounds awesome :grin:

Merry WAAAGH! to all and a Happy New DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA?

[Pherion]

Yea we could stay up and play 40k till its time to crack the champagne!?

I could easily make it there on Friday like I did last time, and stay through Sunday afternoon.

[Artsoldier35]

Hmm.....This is a possibility. I will have to confer with the family.

[Consadine]

My schedule is pretty much open for that time period.

[Honsou]

Merry WAAAGH! to all and a Happy New DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA?

I resolve to use moar Dakka.

[Captain Kellen]

Bust for the most part.

That's how I sum up last nights gaming.


Anyway, I got down to the local store about forty minutes prior to the even kicking off. The crwod was big, 20 to 30 people, and many were playing MTG or 40K so I thought I was in good shape.

Nope. MTG has been a big hit in the local store and they have a large following so four or five regulars were there to compete in the 'draft' MTG tournement. The rest of the crowd, except afor a fellow named Jake, were also there for the MTG stuff. I own an MTG deck to have something to do other than 40K if I am trying to find a pick-up game.

Jake was a good man that played orks and like myself has a small child of 18 months. His wife was at home and he wanted to get in one game before going home late. So we got hooked up on a table and had a 2000 point game of capture and control with Orks v The Fallen. 'Drawhammer' is whe we call this mission since both player get to place only a single objective in their own deplayment zone. The pictures I took turned out like crap because i used my new camera insteadof the old on and had the settings all wrong. So bad it was like a monky was taking the pictures. Momma has reminded me there is an operators manual for the durn thing. Thanks sweetie, I love you too!

I had mobility but not stamina to face nine Kans and two dreds flanked by two meks in trucks. It was a draw. The only cool thing I managed to do was run two large mobs off the table by shooting eleven frag missles between the two mobs. In one go I hit 17 and killed 11 in one mob.

Random thoughts about my list...

- Fire control never came into play so I will still need to see how to split in the firing of a heavy weapons squad in some more games.
- My veterans (wolf guard) are ok as a unit but I don't think I have the right mix yet for keeping them together as a unit.
- The idea of two (beater) brute squads using wolfguard/battle leaders/grey hunters looked good... but failed two pinning checks. It chalk that up to a roll of the dice.
- The scouts are ok. I had them set for anti-tank and really needed anti-infantry in this game but did manage to take a few loota's with me prior to being mauled by a mob of 20-ish orks.
- The speeders equiped with multi-melta and heavy flamer are good. The problem is that they only get to do one thing then die. All over some blogs I follow this is the case. I think that three speeders, in this game would have been a mistake taking from other places point-wise. Two speeders seems fine as they are equiped.

If you guys have anything specific to ask for the corner please comment away,

CK

Pics look good man, you just have to get used to the new camera :)

[Artsoldier35]

Bad news guys. New years eve is no good for me. We've got family coming in for the holidays and I won't be able to get away. Is there anyway I can get you guys to wait until January? this will also give me more time to finish painting. If not, I understand.

[Captain Kellen]

I just need to know the date so I can arrange things accordingly.

What weekend is good for you Consadine, Pherion, Art35 ?

[Consadine]

The weekend after Christmas works. And the one before. I'm highly flexible on this.

[Captain Kellen]

I think Art35 would like to make a January date. Weekdays are bad for Frank so a Friday night through Sunday afternoon is probably the actual physical days.

@Cons - Don't you have a holiday from classes sometime in January?

[Consadine]

My classes don't start until the 10th of January.

[Captain Kellen]

Gentlemen,

How does the weekend of January 7th (Friday) thru January 9th (Sunday) sound? My Commander and chief has nothing on the schedule and can vacate the warzone with the man-child.

...now I retreat to the corner to paint the color grey,

CK

[Artsoldier35]

I think that would work for me also. And I am getting closer to getting my army painted. I'm currently on leave and am getting items knocked out. This week I have already finished one trukk and progressed on both Battlewagons. By the weekend I should only have my deffkoptas and some odds and ends Nobs, Lootas, etc to paint.

[Pherion]

Sounds good to me :)

[Artsoldier35]

Trukks and Battlewagons are mostly done. The deffrolla wagon is only Tabletop ready.

[Pherion]

Looks like my bright lances are going to have some easy targets!!! :)

[Captain Kellen]

I'm still trying to figure out how the second truck drives with no engine... must be an ork thing! :laugh:

I am really looking forward to our little skirmish over cranberry suace weekend and the 'cup de grace' in January.

My new list won't be completely painted so I am sure unpainted guys will die first. They always do!

CK

[Artsoldier35]

@Ck: The second Trukk's engine is behind the driver. I'm getting excited for both visits also. I've got almost two weeks to get my Gliders painted. Cross my fingers.

[Captain Kellen]

It's all about the bling in the corner...

http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu185/CaptainKellen/Junk/accessory.jpg

[Skringly]

It's all about the bling in the corner...

http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu185/CaptainKellen/Junk/accessory.jpg

How on earth have you done that arrow.

[Pherion]

Forgeworld?

He's looking great, though the only bling I see is the little gold orb behind the bolters!

[Artsoldier35]

Cool doors! Now paint it up!

[Captain Kellen]

If you would like some of your own doors.

----> Click! < ---- (http://chapterhousestudios.com/webshop/component/virtuemart/?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=109&category_id=27)

I can take no credit for them, however in the future I may just cut the arrow out of their resin door and attach it to set of rhino's doors for a better fit. It's one of those things that came up after the fact.

I'll see you in the corner of battle...

CK

[Pherion]

Ahhh its chapterhouse! Makes sense :)

P.S. Kellen, do you have an army list ready for Thanksgiving weekend? I'm trying to get one together with my Eldar, and I was wondering what your weak points were :) We need to make sure we crush Art!

[Captain Kellen]

Pherion - I will PM you a list tomorrow night when I have more time. It's done but I have things on the plate tonight.

[Artsoldier35]

No, you don't HAVE TO CRUSH ART. You could come over and let Art and his son win just to be nice!

[Captain Kellen]

No, no... I distinctly remember that no freebies will be given until Christmas. Besides, Ryan is a man and can take it. Meanwhile, the jury is still out on you! :laugh:

[Artsoldier35]

OUCH! You cut me deep Schrek! You cut me deep!

Bring it on. And yes, Ryan will be hitting hard.

[Consadine]

I expect a battle report, you three/four! Pictures in general, at least.

[Pherion]

I don't supose we're allowed to hit him back are we? :) LOL

Cons - dont worry, unless I forget my camera, there'll be plenty of pictures!

[Captain Kellen]

I expect a battle report, you three/four! Pictures in general, at least.

Look, if I wanted no comments on my dry brushed marines I just point you in the direction of my WIP! While three out of the four of us have been on vacation, or at their homes, or don't work for a living, I have been slaving away keeping the United States of America in taxes, traveling to give local parts of the USA taxes, and just working in general.

...and now, you come begging for pictures, and battle reports, and who knows what else!

What do you think? I belong to some Warhammer community or something! :laugh:

I'll be in the corner packing... I have to go to Mississippi for three days...

CK

[Artsoldier35]

Take one brush and your green and a handful of marines and get to drybrushing cause your tears are falling on deaf ears.

[Artsoldier35]

One weekend left on my leave and I got a lot done. I still have my Deffgliders and some Nobz and Lootas to paint but that's too easy. I was more worried about getting my vehicles painted.

Three more gliders and the rest of my Lootas to paint.

[Farskit]

Not too sure about those golden gleaming eyes for the Nob, but that Glider is drop-dead gorgeous (in an Ork kind of way). How'd you make the engines? On a second thought, they're not GW parts, are they?

@ Farskit: While I'd love to take credit for the Glider....I bought them off of Ebay. The glider is from a different company that eludes me now.

[Artsoldier35]

Well, we're into December and the Winter Rumble is just around the Holiday Corner ( No pun intended). I have slowly been working on the last little bit of my army to paint and am one step closer to being finished. Here's how WAAAGH ChompGobb stands with about 1 month left.

[Artsoldier35]

2009? Oh Darn....you're going to have to drop......mmmmmm....let's see........the predator since it's not painted yet.

[Consadine]

No, chainfists. Drop the suckers. Convert them all you want, but, really, do you really need chainfists when the back armor of almost every vehicle is 10 and your Strength is 8? Reeeeeally?

[Pherion]

Oh art, It'll be painted! You just wait :)

Cons - I suppose your right :( but they look cool! - And you don't have to convert them, the term box comes with like 3.

[Consadine]

You can keep them on the model, but don't include them in the army list. You'll be 1 point shy!

[Pherion]

Gentlemen,

How does the weekend of January 7th (Friday) thru January 9th (Sunday) sound? My Commander and chief has nothing on the schedule and can vacate the warzone with the man-child.

...now I retreat to the corner to paint the color grey,

CK

We're all good with this date right? I'm looking into where to use my time next year, and I might just schedual this Friday off so I can head down in reasonable time (instead of arriving super late like last time). I'll even bring some painting stuff this time, and we can do a 2 hr painting competition or something!

[Artsoldier35]

These dates are good for me! I also have that Friday off and may come down early too.

[Consadine]

No problems sofar at my end, and I can get there early too :grin:

[Pherion]

Oh hell yea! :) I say we each bring a single miniature (of any kind) and have our own little competition! Prize: bragging rights till the next rumble! Who's game!? Think you can paint a quality miniature in 2 hours (or less!?)

[Consadine]

We could meet at FTW Games if we get to town before CK gets off work. I'd like to try the Eldar out as soon as I can.

[Pherion]

That would be cool with me. Lets get the store hours from Kellen, and see what time he gets of that day. Maybe we can get in a game or two before he gets home :)

[Artsoldier35]

Cool with me on the painting comp. And the meet up at FTW if CK isn't off work yet.

[Captain Kellen]

I would prefer not to have to take a day off the first week I am back from vacation if you gentlemen will forgive me on that point.

I should be home around 4:00pm that Friday. FTW opens at 12:00pm that day baring any snow or problems. ---> LINK TO FTW"S SITE (http://www.ftwgames.net/) <---

Am I forgetting anything?

[Pherion]

Well I don't think we want to crash CK's house just after he gets home from work, so it'd probably be best if we didn't get there till 5 or 6, just to give him time to settle down for the weekend. I'm game to get to the store early (btw, their Hours link says 2PM opening on Fridays).

[Captain Kellen]

(btw, their Hours link says 2PM opening on Fridays).

Call Rob... I could have sworn he changed the hours on Friday's.

[Captain Kellen]

Gentlemen,

I call your attention to a surprise treat for our get together. My 'Ultramarines' movie arrived today in the mail.

Now, do I watch it in the corner now or do I wait till you guys visit? Tick, toc, tick, toc...

On a side note, is Warsmith confirmed for our get together? I haven't PM'd him so this question is off the top of my head while I am thinking about our get together.

CK

[Consadine]

On a side note, is Warsmith confirmed for our get together? I haven't PM'd him so this question is off the top of my head while I am thinking about our get together.

CK

Wrathchild, you mean. Warsmith is across the pond. Regardless, I haven't heard from him (Wrathchild).

[Captain Kellen]

I apologize to Wraithchild and to Warsmith, my mind has been occupied with other things. Thank you for the correction!

[Pherion]

I apologize to Wraithchild and to Warsmith, my mind has been occupied with other things. Thank you for the correction!

Like how your Dark Angels are growing fangs and wearing wolf pelts :) hehe

You should wait for the movie!!! We can all watch it together :)

[Artsoldier35]

AWESOME! Yes, if you can, wait for us. If not, we'll understand and we'll hogtie you to the gaming table with Pherion's dip and chips just out of reach.

[Captain Kellen]

Gentlemen,

I will wait, against my impulsive judgment, I will wait and evenleave it at home in the corner for the holidays so I am not tempted.

Your too late on the graphic novel though...

CK

[Pherion]

AWESOME! Yes, if you can, wait for us. If not, we'll understand and we'll hogtie you to the gaming table with Pherion's dip and chips just out of reach.


<Searches for the length of rope he knows is somewhere in the closet.>

[Artsoldier35]

Just messaged Wrathchild and he says he's about 90% certain to be there. This is going to be epic. Can you accomodate a third table? I have a Zuzzy mat (unpainted) that is the correct dimensions but needs a stable surface. I have folding tables but am not sure I will have the room for my big table and the folding tables.

[Captain Kellen]

I'll have to measure the living room downstairs... we might be able to put two side by side but it will be tight if it fits.

I already have to get one 2"x4'x6' foam. If the measurements are good then I'll get a second. They can live under the house after the event. I have two saw horse for one table and folding tables might be needed for the other. We'll have to do some measurements and have some discussion.

I'm out of town till wednesday night... I'll update us then...

[Pherion]

Holy be-gezus! Three tables? When where will there be time for salsa! :-)

Im guessing that two tales will fit in the living room?

[Captain Kellen]

Ninja!

[Pherion]

<Skitters away chattering to the great horned rat>

Art/Kellen do you guys have any fantasy? I know Cons has some but not an army.

EDIT: You too Wraithchild! Would be cool to have a game of fantasy too.

[Artsoldier35]

I don't have any fantasy but would be interested in seeing how it all works.

[Captain Kellen]

1. The front living room won't fit two tables in my opiinion. We'll make due with two and give a two people breaks in between matches. I need Art, I think to bring his green matt for the second table.

2. Food... I'll have some chips in packages. I'll gets ome eggs for omlettes on Sunday morning.

3. Art... Cots?

4. Pherion... shoot me the 'slasa' recipe again so I can pick up the ingredients.

5. Drinks?

6. What am I missing?

7. Close... oh so close... To the wire!

[Consadine]

I'll gets ome eggs for omlettes on Sunday morning.

:grin:

I'll see if there are any sales/specials on 2-liters of sodas around town.

Pherion and Art, when did you want to meet up at FTW Friday afternoon?

[Pherion]

I can, I'll call FTW tomorrow (if I remember) and see if hes got the Isle of Blood box in stock - and reserve one for us. What time do you want to meet?

As to painting... I'm not sure if I'll get done, but I'm going to pound through some stuff the next few days. Just need to finish the terms and a drop pod - but the last drop pod took 2 weeks :(

[Consadine]

I can, I'll call FTW tomorrow (if I remember) and see if hes got the Isle of Blood box in stock - and reserve one for us. What time do you want to meet?

2pm would be good, as that would give us enough time for at least one game to practice with our lists.

[Pherion]

2 is good. I tried to call him today, but... I think he's closed on Mondays, so I'll try him tomorrow.

[Consadine]

From the website: (http://www.ftwgames.net/2010/06/ftw-games-fully-operational-game.html)

<facepalm>

[Captain Kellen]

*Kick*

Gentlemen,

I need to know if there is anything special you want at the house as far as snacks go. I have money's burning a hole in my pocket waiting to get spent on our sebatical.

Also, I've got a request in for a half day project for work on Friday. I'll let you know as soon as possible if it comes to fruition. Meaning you could game at the house while I got the materials for the second table. Let's play this by ear though.

I'll be in the corner... painting...

CK

[Pherion]

Kellen, don't worry about the salsa, I'll make it here - it really needs to sit for a day before we start in on it, and if we make it there, we wont be able to dig in till the next day :(

[Captain Kellen]

Okey Dokey...

[Artsoldier35]

Pherion,

Keep in miind there are going to be six of us this time around and we went through your last batch pretty quick. Also, I have a 2 liter Diet coke for you I'll be bringing down.

[Pherion]

Eh gads, well you'll just have to eat less salsa! LOL I'll make a big batch, but I cant guarantee it'll last three days!

[Artsoldier35]

Blasphemy!

[Captain Kellen]

Eh gads, well you'll just have to eat less salsa! LOL I'll make a big batch, but I cant guarantee it'll last three days!

See... if you send me the ingrediants we can get a second batch going Friday night be ready for Saturday night/ Sunday morning...

@Art - Do you have a game mat?

[Pherion]

1 each: Red, Green, Orange, Yellow Bell Peppers
7-10 Plum Tomatoes
1 Large Onion - yellow or white (red if you want it to have an extra zesty kick)
1 Habejero (or crushed red pepper - depends on how hot you like it)
2 Limes
1 bunch (only buy fresh) cilantro
Corriander
Cumin

If you'd like to make it in advance, here's the instructions: Linky (http://www.astronomican.com/showthread.php?18979-Rumble-in-Richmond&p=314922#post314922)

[Captain Kellen]

Gentlemen,

A folding table that is 29" x 72" to put the second board on has been bought. Thank Heather, she found one that folds in half for $20 bucks on clearence at Walmart!

By my reckoning... 72 hours... now... back to painting...

CK

[Artsoldier35]

@ Kellen: I have a Zuzzy mat (unpainted) that is exactly 4'x6'. In order to fit on the table it would need something underneath or a second folding table. If I can fit it in my car, I'll be bringing a second folding table that is the same as the one your wife got...I think.

Question: How tall off the ground does your table stand? The folding table I have is also 30" x 72" and stands off the floor 29" to the table top. If yours is the same then we should be able to put them together and get that third table.

[Captain Kellen]

@ Kellen: I have a Zuzzy mat (unpainted) that is exactly 4'x6'. In order to fit on the table it would need something underneath or a second folding table. If I can fit it in my car, I'll be bringing a second folding table that is the same as the one your wife got...I think.

Ahhh... let me get a mat from FTW. As for the table I think you are cool to leave it at home. I go on Friday at the latest to get the 4x6 2" foam from Home Depot. So the second table is covered.

Cots? I need to get one for Wrathchild unless you have three Art.

CK

[Artsoldier35]

Never mind on my previous post. As for the cots....I think I can cover three cots. Hope it all fits. I may have to leave my army at home for space...LOL

[Pherion]

Just called FTW - no Isle of Blood in stock, but comes in Thursday - will hold one for us :)

[Artsoldier35]

Cool....Build a thon!

[Captain Kellen]

Printed the Slasa recipe...

[Consadine]

I've got a sleeping bag and dibs on the couch! :grin:

I can bring the crashed Aquilla Lander terrain from the Battle for Macragge set if we want just a bit more stuff on the boards.

[Captain Kellen]

I've got a sleeping bag and dibs on the couch! :grin:

I can bring the crashed Aquilla Lander terrain from the Battle for Macragge set if we want just a bit more stuff on the boards.

Sure... in between the matches we might be able to get it painted up.


Looks like Frank gets the bed with rails again! :laugh:

[Pherion]

Yes.... Dead Smurfs always spice up a table!

@Cons - Was the couch that cumfy?!

[Consadine]

It'll be a breeze to paint.


@Cons - Was the couch that cumfy?!

Absolutely.

[Pherion]

Looks like Frank gets the bed with rails again! :laugh:

I wouldn't want to hurt myself now would I? Can we coat the rails with dandilions so I have some flowers to sniff while snuggling my Scorpion?

[Captain Kellen]

The stickers will be standing-by Frank!

[LutherMax]

You know a full photographic report of this encounter is expected, right? Not just the games but the shinanigans also...

[Artsoldier35]

I'm sure there will be plenty of pics all around.

[Honsou]

There'd better be ;)

[Captain Kellen]

SNAFU!


I had FTW hold a gaming mat for a second table. Oops! It was the wrong size and wrong stuff to use. :shocked: Sooooo...




I went to Hancock Fabrics and bought a piece of fleece for the second table. :grin:




SAVE!

[Pherion]

Sweets! :) Fabric always works well for a table!

[Artsoldier35]

Ooooohh! Warm....and it doubles as a blanket for the night time. I call dibs!

[Pherion]

Hell no. I need to keep my scorpion warm!

[Artsoldier35]

Scorpion....SMORPION!

[Pherion]

It'll blow a hole in your nobs!

[Honsou]

It'll blow a hole in your nobs!
That sounds wrong, in so many ways :grin:

[Pherion]

Only to those who don't know how big a Pulsar is :)

Edit: A twin linked pulsar!!!!!

[Pherion]

Didn't feel like pulling out the light box at 3:30 AM, so here's an ... ok ... pictures:

http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/Deathwatch/Terminators/01_06_10a.jpg

The rest are in my wip...

[Artsoldier35]

What a Slacker. Sure, we'll take your non-light box pics.....for now!

[Captain Kellen]

1. All the ingredients are bought for more 'slasa' except the Habernejo... I couldn't find any.

2. Chips, burgers, buns, cheese, and propane will be bought tomorrow.

3. The 2" foam is bought and roughly cut.

Now... to the corner!

CK

[Pherion]

I'll bring an extra Habernejo

[Captain Kellen]

We're gonna need music to game by. I don't think that putting 'Ice Pirates' on repeat is going to cut it.

[Farskit]

I've got a few titles if you're interested:

The Final Decision (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQBi2IIMmpQ), Sin from Genesis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2sKTDXqN6U&feature=related), Destiny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMChEHUPkaY&feature=related), At the beginning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08cgyxj953o&feature=related) (aptly, the beginning of the music is better than the rest, but it's good for the deployment phase of the first turns).

I also suppose Lux Aeterna (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKLpJtvzlEI) needs no presentation anymore. You can also try On the Battlefield (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSJ6afXS20M) (though you are required to do something appropriately heroic at 4:50) or Shadow of the Evanescence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSJ6afXS20M).

If you want MOAR metal, then how 'bout Call of Cthulhu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt_ZE_ib9Wk) from Metallica? Appropratiely ominous music for 40k!

The World of Warcraft woundtrack has a couple scores you might also use (A Call To Arms, the intro soundtrack, Stormwind), as has Pirates of the Carribean.

[Consadine]

I'll bring some music, it being on the laptop and all.

[Pherion]

Can run pandora too if we want.

[Pherion]

Kellen if you look at this before you goto work:

Do you have a juice squeezer for the limes?
Did you buy whole or ground cumin/coriander?

[Pherion]

it begins

I hope you didn't drop the wrong pie plate in the shooting phase.

[Pherion]

if he gets pizza on my eldar.... so help me god!

[LutherMax]

Woohoo! It's great to see you guys together in person - looking forward to the updates on this. Don't forget turn by turn pics for the battle reports!

[Consadine]

We're planning a battle report later tonight... Eldar vs Orks!

Here are some more random pictures:
From the 1k Ravenwing vs Orks, me vs Artsoldier35; this was the view from my objective of the Dawn of War deployment (he went first). The game ended in a draw (barely!) thanks to Turn 5 ending on a 1.

[Captain Kellen]

For kicks we had a guessing game... How many shoulder pads are in the bottle?

Artsoldier35 - 151
Ryan - 152
Pherion - 150
Consadine - 200
Wrathchild - 95
Captain Kellen - 60

http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu185/CaptainKellen/Junk/guess.jpg

... and the winner was, for Bragg'n Rights...

Consadine... his guess of 200 was the closest of... 287 shoulder pads...

I'll be in the corner lamenting my loss... :laugh:

CK

[LAZtheinfamous]

That's a lot of shoulder pads.

[Aeth]

I like the Phoenix Council invading the ratty horde lol. How are you guys finding fantasy then?

[LutherMax]

Hobby goodness :)
Cons, get a wheel. Or a glove. :grin:

[Artsoldier35]

I think there was more paint on Cons' hand than on anything he painted.

[Pherion]

Indeed he did! I need to get some pictures of the faded PW he did though, got to touch up the detail bits, but I'll have a pic up eventually!

By the way: I'm home safe and sound. Got lots of pics on the camera to put together including full army shots of each army that attended, and a full battle report between Wrathchild and myself!

[Captain Kellen]

Thank you for coming to the 'Winter Rumble',

The 'Slasa' is gone (two huge bowls of slasa), the three pizza's are gone, the cookies are still here, one bag of chips is left, the toys are put away, five liters of soda are gone, a twelve pack of coke is in recycle, the carpet did not get stained, twelve hambergers have been eaten, twelve ham-cheese-slasa omlettes are consumed, eight eggs are left, six buns are in the fridge, the tables are under the house, the towels are put away, Space Balls has been watched, Ultramarines was... ok, the shoulder pads have been counted, Consadine has played three games of Fantasy with three different lists and still has paint on his hand, and... the dog is sleeping.



Momma has said it's time to come to the corner! :shocked:....:grin:...:devil:

CK

[Consadine]

Despite my GPS unit's best attempts to leave me out in the sticks, I'm home! :grin:

So much fun I think we need to have another this summer!


I like the Phoenix Council invading the ratty horde lol. How are you guys finding fantasy then?

I had a lot of fun with Fantasy and got a few more models over the weekend to help fluff up my nearly nonexistent collection. Was able to run a proper 1250 list :grin:


Cons, get a wheel. Or a glove. :grin:

I'm getting a pack of gloves tomorrow... >_>

[Marticus]

CK... bit of a nosey question but in one pic it shows a little table with lots of shiny things on it in the corner... what are they? :P
ahh looks like you guys had plenty of fun and cons.... dude you messy puppy! for shame

[Pherion]

You mean the table with all the coins on it?

[Artsoldier35]

Yes, those are unit coins. it's a "Kudos" thing that Army units do over here to reward soldiers for doing good things. It's kind of a status thing to have coins from high ranking officers and whatnot.

[Captain Kellen]

... high ranking officers like, the Secretary of the Army, The United States Forces Korea Commander, The Second Infantry Division Commander, all relative to when I served of course...

CK

Sounds like you guys had a helluva time :)

[japehlio]

and why are you not coming up to the warhammer world meet..?

[Captain Kellen]

and why are you not coming up to the warhammer world meet..?

There is this little issue of water and the fact I can't swim very well. Then there is this issue of 'mula'. I've got the 'mula' but Momma says 'no'. In fact I beleive she said I could go when Lucifer orders air conditioners for his dominion. Said in lay terms 'When hell freezes over!'

Sorry guys :sad:

... if I can just rig the lottery...

CK

[Honsou]

...I question the validity of your statement. There is an error. If Lucifer orders air conditioners for his dominion, this suggests that Hell (his dominion) has become unbearably hot, even for the devil (read: lucifer). Thus, assuming that Hell is ALREADY a hot place, we must assume that the heat has in fact INCREASED. In short, Lucifer's purchase of air conditioners would indicate that hell has NOT frozen over.

So, if we extrapolate: the statement that you may go when Lucifer orders an air conditioner unit is open to the question as to when it is too hot for Lucifer; lacking scientific evidence that would support Lucifer being a temperature resistant personage beyond the normal parameters of heat for the dominion of Hell, we must conclude that air conditioning would be necessary as soon as this temperature began to increase.

Given that Hell is located, according to traditional ethos, beneath the surface of the planet, we must conclude that Hell is affected by the global warming crisis. This being so, the temperature of hell has increased in recent years which likely necessitates the purchase of air conditioning units. In short: it seems likely that the devil has already made such a purchase, and therefore you are free to travel as you wish.

That is all. :grin:

[japehlio]

Well CK, I am sorry to hear that, but my statement WAS meant to be directed at Luthermax. I was lax in my clarity, and I apologize...

Luther, whys you not coming to Warhammerworld..?

[Pherion]

I'll tell you what, during the next Richmond Rumble, we'll make it a group project to build a raft with the trees in CK's back yard, and we'll sail it over to the next Warhammer World Meet Up! I'll bring a sheet for the sail! :)

[Artsoldier35]

What? Yo SHEET on my bed and I'll Keel you!

Where's the Battle report?

[Pherion]

Getting its images edited.... LOL You'll get it eventually :)

[LutherMax]

Well, after a quick Google escapade I now know what Warhammer World is. Now, what's this meet-up of which ye speak? :grin:

That one completely passed me by! Alas I cannot make it this time. I, somewhat embarrassingly, have a romantic engagement planned as it's Valentines weekend and all. I'll be honest, she does put up with a lot...
However I might be interested in future events. I know nothing of gaming other than that dice, rulers and other such articles are involved, but something like this would be an opportunity to learn.

Bugman's too is of significant interest... ;)

[Pherion]

Time for some random pics! You can also find army pics of all the participants here: Linky! (http://www.astronomican.com/showthread.php?20661-Richmond-Rumble-Armies!&p=340349#post340349)

[LutherMax]

Thanks for the pics Pherion!
Where were the army ones taken, CK's LGS?

[Artsoldier35]

Looks like CK and Pherion have face paint on.

[Honsou]

I can't help but notice there's a space marine enjoying a game in the background :grin:

[Consadine]

Where were the army ones taken, CK's LGS?

At CK's house on one of the two tables we had setup.

[Pherion]

I can't help but notice there's a space marine enjoying a game in the background :grin:

If you look closely, there's also a Storm Trooper! If anyone has the chance and is in Richmond you should stop by FTW Games - store is fantastic.

[LutherMax]

At CK's house on one of the two tables we had setup.

Oh yes I can see that now in the latter pics... But the first ones, does CK sell Magic the Gathering from his house? o_O


http://arolkay.com/SiteImage/DecRumble/SDC13489.jpg

And another thing, this always confused me about American house numbers... are there really over 7,000 houses in your street? o_O

[Pherion]

Haha, the first pics (eldar vs marines) are at the store - FTW Games.

As to house numbers. It's common to have the hundreds/thousands digit be the block number, so if there are 10 blocks on a street, the first set of houses will be 1001,1002,1003, etc. The second block will be 2001,2002,2003, and the 10th block will be 10001, 10002, 10003, etc. Pretty common.

Edit: And CK's neighborhood is pretty big. I wouldn't put it past having several hundred homes floating around in there somewhere.

[LutherMax]

Hmmm... I guess that makes sense. I approve.

[Captain Kellen]

Oh yes I can see that now in the latter pics... But the first ones, does CK sell Magic the Gathering from his house? o_O



I could, since I do own MtG Cards, but I'll leave that to amatuers! :grin:

[Wrathchild]

Shame I missed the gaming at the store, maybe next time..

[Pherion]

Me and Cons had planed to meet there earlier than everyone else. I'm sure if you want to meet us there early next time we'd be game :)
