Hello gamers

SGS has been running for almost a year, and to celebrate we are putting on a trip to Warhammer World!

Tickets will be less than a tenner, and we intend to go on the last Sunday of January which is the 27th.

We'll be meeting at the Vic at 9am and be back in Scarborough before 6pm, traffic allowing.

Looking forward to it.

PaulTattoo

yep count me in!

Krypter

I'm interested. Will people be taking armies with them to ravage the locals or is it strictly a shopping trip?

Sim

Chris and I discussed taking some classic figures, perhaps Rogue Trader or 2e 40K.

TomasLenton

I'm in.

TomasLenton

We should take only Warmachine, Malifaux, Infinity, Mantic, Warlord and Alternative miniatures, that's learn 'em!

George

In response to malcom, I would like to have a massive game of 40k whilst we're down there. if people are up for that.

TomasLenton

I'm defiantly up for a massive game!

ddmooch

Yep sounds good to me.What forces do you think we should have chaos v imperium?

George

id say that would be good. ima gonna have a chat with Dan, (the guy who does the games workshop blog)  and see if he'll take a few pictures for the blog (good advertisement) unlikely but he may say yes. If he does say yes, those with lovely painted armies may get them put on the gw website blog.

Krypter

Well i can bring between 2 and 4k of either ( not counting Xenos races) so once we know who's coming we can get things arranged.

As for free advertising - this is GW dude, get a grip :P

ddmooch

I can bring roughly 4k of chaos or imp guard what have other people got army and points wise?
Off topic saw the hobbit yesterday thought it was very good.

TomasLenton

betwee 1 and 2 k of Chaos

George

I can do 4k of points, but i think id prefer 3, less proxying that way. And as a matter of fact the guy does take pictures of tournaments and clubs who come up with nicely painted figures because i've a. seen him taking pictures whilst ive been there, and b. every so often he'll do a blog post with pictures of peoples armies who have come in. Like i said its not a massive chance of it happening but he might do it.

ddmooch

If we are going to have the chance of having our game blogged to all and sundry then all figures should be painted.What do you think?

George

he wont blog the game,the most likely thing that will happen is he will ask people with nicely painted models if he can move them aside and take some photos. he might take a picture of us playing but the models probably wont be in shot.This is all at a chance though, if he says no when i ask him, itll just be a no.

TomasLenton

There's really not much point going to Warhammer world if your going to bring unpainted/primed figures. From what I can tell, the reason you go is to play on some really nice boards and have a really good looking game, why spoil that with a load of unpainted figures. I wouldn't be surprised if your figures HAVE to be painted to play actually, those are the rules a GW stores, so I imagine they are at Warhammer World too.

George

Actually they're not that strict. They have to be primed, that is all, they wont kick you out for em being unpainted. Tbf ive played with unprimed and models which haven't been fully glued together before and they haven't said anything. But i do agree painted models are always better

TomasLenton

I'm surprised that they care less in Warhammer World than in their stores... Random! 

Still... On the tables at Warhammer world, if we all ring nicely painted armies, a game is going to look amazing. Hopefully somebody could take photos :-) I will if someone gives me a camera ^^

George

Oh with out a doubt! It'd be great to get some lovely photographs. Everything i'll be bringing will be painted and based. And i'll be bringing at least one camera with me  

Jswiers

The rule used to be that all models on the table must have three colours minimum after primer. (Models bought in the last few weeks excluded).

They used to be VERY strict on it. VERY VERY strict.

Times may have changed...

Sim

Good news everyone!!

We've managed to sort out a pleasantly cheap ticket price for members and non-members.
£7 for non-members
£5 for members

Tickets on sale from today!! Speak to a committee member to secure your place on the trip.

We would like to run an Apocalypse game so please bring your 40K armies! When buying your ticket please state your army and points you can bring (primed/base painted
*minimum please as a club rule for photos!). For those not interested there is plenty to do on site. Most of us will be eating at the bar but you may wish to bring food/drink for the journey.

Remember tickets are limited so don't delay.

hmm, i'm VERY tempted, need to see if i can get the time off work first.

TomasLenton

haha! "Prime/base painted only" - Looks like I can't bring my painted Chaos army... ;-) Just kidding of course! I'll be there! Can't make it to club until Thursday though.

mark_webster101

I think there are a few of us wanting to maybe do an apocalypse battle, maybe Grey Knights V's Chaos Demons? i know that me and Barky have a good few Grey Knights, and that i'll be getting many more soon, off a certain someone ^^

ddmooch

I have 2,000 + points of Khorne I could lend someone.

mark_webster101

wow, that sounds awesome Mooch, i hope someone take you up on the offer, i'm going to be carting along my Grey knights for the day

George

The theme of the apocalypse battle will be pretty standard: Imperium VS Xenos.

George

The tables have been booked, even though they have an event on that day I have managed to grab us four 6' by 4' tables. It may end up being cramped depending on what people bring but hopefully we should be ok. Any queries? P.S i tried to get us one of the large theme boards but they are unavailable. 

mark_webster101

ah, Imperium V's Xenos?  i was hoping to get a chance to take on deamons oh well. still going to be a great day.
