- the scenarios will be provided by the organisers (this is an educated guess really);
- the terrain will be sparse.
That's it.

re. Conflict Regional Tournament Edinburgh | ||

I saw your post at the Warp, and thought I'd answer it here. From what I saw at last year's Caledonian Conflict, I can tell you that:
- the scenarios will be provided by the organisers (this is an educated guess really); - the terrain will be sparse. That's it. |

If the terrain is sparse it won't be worth me going. I'm afraid tree huggers need trees to hug.
Anything but a one... It's a one! But I've got a reroll... OK that's a one too!! |

Oh dear. Hmm | ||
|
But you can't back out now- you've got your ticket. Plead. For all I know, the terrain might be better this year, though I really can't say off of the top of my head. But this is a local part of a national event, rather than a first event of unknown potential. Plead, plead. And I'll need the company- I'll be getting humped myself one way or the other.
Meanwhile, I see that you're getting stuck in at the MG. I've completely rewritten my army thanks to the advice I got there. I reckon The Fabulous Orcboy is the guy for you- a very winningest player. Smarm, smarm! |

Re: Oh dear. Hmm | ||

Don't worry I'm still going to go, I might just have to include a couple of thousand points of scenery in my bag for the day.
Yep I've been following the changes to your army, and to be honest I was more scared of the first one you drew up, than the new one. Although the first one would have suffered from mobility heavy scenarios. Anything but a one... It's a one! But I've got a reroll... OK that's a one too!! |

Phew! | ||

I guess GW tourney play is a learning curve, and we're on the flat bit at the bottom.
And my first army was dead shooty, and (as was said), it had depth. But what do you think I'm more likely to face: shooty armies that'll stand back and let me waste them in scenarios demanding just that? Or mobile assault armies in scenarios discouraging the stand-off firepower tactics my first list is built for? After the discussion on the MG, I'd say the latter. Consider: Orks, Marines, Nids, Eldar (light and dark)... hmm. The matter may not be as clear cut as all that y'know. I could just take the army I fancy and go hand- it's my first outing after all. Time will tell. I'll be bringing the 2nd list for Sunday though. |

Guess what... | ||
|
... was waiting for me when I got home tonight- the players' packs. There's no point in going through everything, but sufficeth to say here that our missions are: Cleanse, Take and hold, and Recon. I guess that means I'll need those jump-packers then, hmm? I'll bring your stuff in on Tuesday unless you let me know you're not coming after all.

Re: Guess what... | ||

OK, can't remember what you have to do for the other two missions.
By the way I also forgot to make you take pinning tests when I wounded you with the Rangers. Ah well, one day I'll remember all the rules. Anything but a one... It's a one! But I've got a reroll... OK that's a one too!! |

Getting a bit schizoid here doncha think? | ||
|
Running one conversation 'in Glasgow' and one 'across the pond'. We should just take over the MG! Oh, and disrupt tests and pinning checks on top of everything else might have forced the dreaded 'c' word from between my lips, even briefly. I'd say 'so perhaps it's just as well (that you forgot)', but it's not much of threat really, is it?!
PS. Would you like a logo to go with your sig? |

Go on then. What do I have to do?

Well... | ||
|
I've finally decided to go with a slightly tweaked version of my first list. I know it's got some flaws (such as lots of 5-man squads in missions which involve holding ground), but I can't resist the firepower, and I want to take the minis. Plus, I wanted to decide quickly so's I could pin down my painting chores.
So, that's the army I'll be bringing in next week should we get the chance for a game. |

Here's my list then | ||

I'd like to practice it a few times...

Feeling a bit pleased with myself | ||

I assembled a new plasma gunner and a heavy bolter marine last night. Just a few repairs, then I'll be getting to work on the painting and the details. Are you making any progress with your own?

I'm trying to, but with trips to the vet, my own lack of interest and the new bairn, I'm struggling.

John> just to let you know how to field a proper trooper army, i just realised i have a fieldable army of 186 Imerial Guard models
Dont think im gonna be able to get into the club over the next few weeks unless the exalted game is on as ive realsied how many exams ive got. |

re. 186 Imerial Guard | ||
JMcL63 |
Heh | ||
|
I don't know how fieldable they are as a whole, but I have 283 assorted scouts, marines, and terminators. Stomp!
PS. Gav found a meltagunner lying under a radiator- so make that 284.

Re: Heh | ||

Yup but this is for the 1.5k army
if i could force myself to get rid of the HWs then i could get it to 210 but theyre too much fun |
|||
JMcL63 |
OK, OK I admit it | ||
|
That's a lot! No vehicles though I'd guess?
PS. In the light of experience and ZtM's insistence, I've decided to give Zeke an Iron Halo, and amalgamate the jump-packers into one squad (the 5-man squads never survive long enough to carry out their mission). Ditching the master-crafting, purity seals, and auspex, this leaves 9pts spare. |

Re: OK, OK I admit it | ||

Nope, but they are too big a target alot of the time.
Also it'll make one hell of an effect when they land on the table |
