ARBBL

And for those thinking of joining us the factions we have so far (should that influence your decision making) are;

Dave - Dark Angels
Ray - Space Wolves
Mike - Death Guard
Jamie - Salamanders/Word Bearers
Ben - Thousand Sons
Matthew - Mechanicum
Gary - Blood Angels
Tom - Blood Angels

I've gone Blood Angels.

How annoyed will you be if I do as well?

Well I've bought in now so I'll have to bury the hatred deep

With the unprecedented level of interest some duplication in legions was inevitable I think.

On the positive side, you can join forces and play bigger games!

Tom,

I have just received my replacement Liber Astartes, if it has any influence whatsoever on your decision to start HH you’re welcome to keep the one I’ve lent you.

Everyone seems to have some models now so I thought I’d put a marker down on getting things started.

It’ll be a pretty casual affair, round 1 will start from the 6th December and will be 500 point games. The round will last 6 weeks ish and the aspiration would be for everyone to play at least one game. Non campaign games of any size also encouraged in this period.

I might come up with a very basic and minimal reward type system, i.e for every Victory Point you score more than your opponent you get 5 extra points to spend on your list for the next round up to a maximum of 25 points (doesn’t sound much but it will pay for a few upgrades on sergeants and whatnot). I don’t know, I’ve not really thought it through.

For those forward planners, each round will add 250 points to game size and so by the end of round 3 everyone has a nicely painted 1000 point army, yay!

There’s still time for you Simon, Wayland have a 30% off sale at the moment and all you need to play the smaller games is a single box of MKVI Marines.......

No thanks.

I'll step out for a few weeks (months?) while you play HH, as there's 8 of you (gives me a reason to try some of the solo/co-op games I have sitting around).
If I can just get a game for my 1 in 5 no work nights, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll be happy to jump in for other games if you have people missing.

Dave, once you solidify the plans I'll post it to the FB page, might get some interest from the Test Valley/Spruecutters lot.

I think you’re overstating the frequency in which we will play.......

I’m not really expecting that everyone will play every week, probably just 1-2 games per round (6-ish weeks per round). As I said, it will be a casual affair.
