lol only just realised but everyone looks boored or miserable for the fantasy ones - except tim who's full of glee

captures the mood perfectly

[El Capitan]

The following ammendments have been officially confirmed for James Brown's Warhammer Tomb Kings list.....

High Priest - Hieratic Jar removed - now 245 points
Tomb Prince - Enchanted Shield and light armour added - now 118 points
Priest - Might Plaques removed, Dispel Scroll added - now 255 points
Priest - Hieratic Jar added - now 130 points
Army total now 2005 points

Kudos to Simon for the spot - his first act in his new Senior term ;D


In other pre-Tournament news - Luke today commented on his desire to reach the 40k semi-finals and is confident he can beat anyone in Warhammer. Meanwhile James Brown disregarded the Warhammer Tournament and commented on the importance of achieving in 40k

[abbychan]

Was one of the photos of Simon taken when you came to Leeds? I haven't seen them yet!

[El Capitan]

Indeed it was - you appear in the full photo!

I'll admit i deliberately picked the worst pictures of simon and they'll also appear on a 'currenty players' wall during the Tournament so if people need a pick up during the game they can remind themselves of why they hate Simon

No disrspect to Simon really, over half the clubvoted for him to be senior! But Luke has promised to take Simon down in all 3 Tournaments!

[Charly]

so many rats, so little time. think the brown spray is in order, a quick mark on different units bases, and leave it there. as for 40k i should have a fully painted army, only 8 marines to paint...

[Simon]

I reckon I'm fairly clued up now on what everyone should be doing with their forces. The only person whose army selection does not bother me in the slightest is Luke. Brown's force is ok, but beatable and as for the rest I had better hope that there is a lot of scenery that I can hide behind...

[El Capitan]

Are you talking about 40k or Warhammer?

[Simon]

I meant in Warhammer

[El Capitan]

Luke reckons he'll wipe you out easilly in Warhammer....

[Simon]

Are you kidding me?

His army is going to be the easiest for me to fight. Everyone else's armies are going to cause me some major problems. Luck of the draw will probably decide if I go through or not.

I want to get past the first round in 40K, that would be a nice end for the year. The other two tournaments aren't as important to me as that target. Magic is going to be a bit hit and miss. As long as Luke finishes last in all tournaments then the world will be put to rights.

[El Capitan]

More list clarification - Luke's Black Knights have barding

[Charly]

anybody got 8 spare cavalry bases? some idiot sent me jezzails with single sloty bases instead of the right ones.

[El Capitan]

i have some, GW havent sent stuff thats vital to mine and mays armies. GW Mail order sucks

[Charly]

oh my order was from ebay so cant blame gw unfortunatly, can i steal those bases off u then?

[LukeG]

Me, Mike and Adam are all screwed without those parts, they feature in our tournament armies.
As for Simon, I've taken a fragile army but that doesn't mean it's a harmless one. I would have loved to draw both you and Charlie as you have the least magic defense. Wait until you see it in action, it should be impressive to see even if it loses (except against Tim who can neutralise it no problems ).

[Simon]

Luke, you really don't have a clue as to how my army works do you Luke?

It's a shame that I'm gonna get shot to pieces in the first round though because I would have loved to knock you out of another tournament

[Simon]

Just a points check for Luke's 40k force this time: somehow I doubt that a landspeeder with a multimelta is only 75 points, isn't it closer to 125? I think the standard 2nd Ed one was 145 points (with a heavy flamer built in aswell). I think the total points is also wrong on the army as a whole unless the landspeeders are actually 125 points each.

[El Capitan]

Thats a typo that should read 250 and not 150.

The Landspeeders are 145 - 25 (heavy flamer) + 5 (driver w/ plasma pistol = 125 X 2

[LukeG]

Why do I keep getting typo'd to death by Mike! First the barding and now THIS! No one else gets them!
Must be all that hatred and stuff oozing out through his subconcious.

And as for Simon, how about a little friendly game of Warhammer after the tournament to show off whose army can do what?
