I just wanted to outline some of the details of the Vermintide event that me and simon are working on.
basically vermintide is a classic glazers creek style scenario. a replenishing skaven horde is assaulting a centrally deployed alliance of 3 armys.
the victory conditions revolve around 3 strategic points on the battlefield, which ever side controls the most at the end of the game, wins.
The Skaven army is 3000pts in size, when a unit is completely destroyed or removed for some other reason, then it is redeployed at the start of the following skaven turn, characters may not respawn but units may be kept in reserve untill an oppurtune moment. Skaven have the first turn.
The alliance army is split into two parts. A main force to be deployed in the central area of the battlefield consisting of around 1500pts (up for discussion) from each armys list (4500pts in total + garrison forces).
3 garrison forces (1 from each army) consisting of one core unit worth =<200 pts. These units deploy first around each stategic point
The 3 stategic points will be:
The Power Stone: The side controlling the power stone generates 1 extra power dice per and +1 to all of their casting rolls. (The Skaven will most likely believe this to be a massive piece of warpstone and the main reason for the assault).
The Tower: The Central point of the alliances defences. All models with LOS atop the tower may fire, regardless of ranks and formation.
The Sacred Grove: All units within 6" of the Grove count as unbreakable. (This would most likely be the alliances reason for such a heavy defence of this position).
The game will last for 8 turns (up for discussion), with the garrisons deploying first, then skaven, then the rest of the alliance force.
Any comments or ideas on this will be most welcome!

It looks like a good idea, but the one thing I'm thinking is maybe 10 turns? I the Skaven army was bigger it wouldn't matter but they need to recycle a few times before the points advantage turns in their favour and this would put the pressure on.
I think a reduced points playtest could be in order.

How many points of Skaven can you get Charly???
Plus, alliance army should be chosen together as one big 4,500 points army (or whatever size you want)
If it is this big then there's no need for the garrison forces. They were in there if the alliance army was 3,000 points...

as for board layout, i liked the garrisons idea simon. i think the main army should be in a central area, while the strategic points with ther garrisons should be just outside the main army deployment zone, so thers no clumping of large amounts of troops around eg the grove.

OK... We need a venue for this event and a date.
I won't be back from leeds until about the 20th and I'll be going back pretty much just after new years (got work to do). What date would be best for everyone (Tim has no preference coz he'll make it up for a warhammer game, no matter how far he needs to travel)

I assume boxing day will be just as accessible to people as the 25th itself. I know me and Luke will be seeing family on that day and everyonme will probably be hung over since OGC poeple usually get together on xmas day night and get destroyed

Vermintide
Skaven rules – 3000 points
When a unit is annihilated it returns to the table at the start of
the following skaven turn as though it had previously pursued
an enemy off the table. Units can be kept in reserve if the
player desires. Characters cannot respawn.
The skaven must capture two out of the three strategic points
in order to win the game.
The Alliance rules – 3000 points (dwarves/empire/wood elves)
The alliance must choose their whole army from their army
lists. Each race must contribute 1 character and 1 core
choice other than their garrisons.
The Alliance army also includes three garrison forces for the
strategic points. Each race must choose a garrison force.
These forces must be 1 core choice with a cost of no more
than 200 points.
The Alliance army must control two out of the three strategic
points in order to win the game.
The strategic points – The Power Stone: The side controlling the power stone
generates 1 extra power dice per turn in addition to
adding +1 to all of their casting rolls.
The Tower: All models at the top of the tower may fire,
regardless of ranks.
The sacred grove: the garrison unit in the sacred grove
is unbreakable as long as it is within 6” of the grove.
Capturing the strategic points: If an unbroken unit you
control is within 6” of the strategic point at the end of
your turn and there are no other enemies within 6” of
the strategic point, then you gain control of the
strategic point.
The game lasts for 8 turns, the Alliance garrisons deploy first, then the skaven, then the Alliance army. The skaven get the first turn.
Charly, can you get working on the skaven list and figure out how many points you can field. If the alliance army deploys centrally, then there will need to be some modifications to the points for the battle...
