The Golden Aegis Affair - Potential Gaming Day

[Cortez]

I'll be there. Possibly with a marine, depending on how it goes.

[MarcoSkoll]

I'm probably not going to try and rush a Marine character out*, but if there's room for characters of other stripes and we've got a confirmed booking, then I'm free for a trip to Nottingham on the 11th.

* I took my one Marine model apart years ago and still need to decide whether I'm putting it back together as an Astral Jackal Apothecary (the chapter I created with the 4th Edition codex) or as the Salamanders Veteran DLC armour from Space Marine (the armour set I use when playing loyalist. Shame it's often hard to find players, as the Exterminatus mode remains my favourite "survival mode" from any game).

The other thing is that I'm finally getting on a bit of a roll again with writing IRE (possibly even enough of a roll that I could have something playtestable before the event, if anyone's willing to be a bit experimental), and I don't really want to distract myself from that with hectic modelling projects.

EDIT: Obviously, I can make the Rhino and Sentinel available if they're needed. (Although I might just bring them anyway, they're good for drawing in people's attention).

[mcjomar]

I'm still coming and you've all seen the progress on the dark angel.
So expect shenanigans.

[greenstuff_gav]

d'we want marines or 54mm campaign day?

[Radu Lykan]

Can we try for both? Marines on one table fighting stuff with another set of games using "normal" warbands whose results affect the marine table?

[Lord Borak]

That sounds cool. Although it's up to you Gav as it's a lot of leg work Game Master wise.

[greenstuff_gav]

you've got about 4 games and suspect we'll not have the addendance for two side-by-side campaigns!

[Lord Borak]

'Mortal' characters could still join into the Marine game though, right Gav? I'm not sure what you have planned but mortal characters could have their own missions, agendas etc and the Marines are simply there to make sure that character does his/her mission......... or doesn't?

[MarcoSkoll]

Assuming no-one drops out, it sounds like we'll scrape eight people (Borak, Borak's mate, Radu, Horus, you, Cortez, Mcjomar and me) , and I could try kicking the various other players I've got friended on Facebook. We might be able to coax one or two more people out that way.

If we'd be good to go with some 28mm players too, I could also try inquiring of the Inquisitorum group on Facebook to see if enough people are available at short notice.

How many tables are we currently booked for?

[Lord Borak]

We haven't booked any yet. We were finding out numbers before we booked them. If we want 3 tables I can call them/email them tomorrow.


EDIT: If anyone has their number/email it would save me the effort off finding it.

[MarcoSkoll]

There is a form on the WHW website, or you can e-mail at whworldevents@gwplc.com but (despite finding telephone calls rather intimidating), I prefer to call them. It's harder for things to get lost in an inbox, and it can be dealt with far more quickly (no back and forth over days about which tables are already booked).

The events team phone number is 0115 900 4994, or at least it used to be. (Not the same as the store number, 0115 900 4151, but they'll take bookings too).

[MarcoSkoll]

Any news? (For one thing, the earlier we can confirm this, the cheaper my train tickets will be).

If you'd prefer, I do the job of ringing up and asking if they can spare space for us.

[Lord Borak]

Sorry for the late reply.

The 11th is completely reserved due to an event. However they said to call back on Monday once they know how many people are attending the event as they may have tables free.


However I have booked 3 tables for the 18th just in case. Can people make that in case it's all booked out on the 11th?

[Cortez]

I can make the 18th.

[mcjomar]

I can probably make the 18th, but I'll have to check. I'll get back to you on saturday about this.
