Comment on Underground Gamers Campaign – update 1 by Mr Saturday

Sounds like good craic. Campaigns really are a lot of work, but can be mighty craic when it all works. We’re a few weeks into ours, you can see the progress here if you’re so inclined:

Nice job, skin tone looks very smooth, should be a groovy looking army.

a bit harsh there redmanphill – I think it would be fine as a ‘counts as’ steam tank – Would also make awesome unit filler for a halberd horde….

Handgunners are great there is an upgrade kit due for state troops very soon

Hmmm the Land Train is far larger than a Steam Tank at least in terms of the foot print. So I would be a little reticent to have this in a tournament. Fine for friendly games however.

I love the handgunners, these will really make for nice looking detachments and regiments. I hope they come out with more!

Possibly, it’s up for review along with Warhammer Forge. We’d like to include Chaos Dwarfs and WF models, but we need to ensure that it doesn’t throw balance out of whack. More information on our forum – http://w-ired.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1278

Howdy. Is the chaos dwarf Indy GT list legal at NWG?

Comment on Portable Warfare- The Sergeant by Paul

I have a very similar case for my Guard. Only thing that bugs me is that their bayonets get caught in the foam very easily and can get damaged.

Apart from that though its great.

Jimmy, would you say they would be worth bulk ordering a few, or just 1 at a time?
They seem like a goer to me, if they sell the foam or find compatible foam, I could see these replacing 5 army cases.

Terrific review, sir, thank you. You did not touch on two critical details I would like: what is the carryall’s price and where can one be had (URL?). Much thanks!

So ….results????

I heard Joe Cullen managed to snag a first place in 40K with Dork Angles but that the home ground advantage went with Rob G on the defence of his Warpcrown.

Yea they seem to be much more common. I suppose it’s helped by there being a prize for it at ARC.
I’m considering a magnetised one myself to save on the packing and unpacking between games.
The battlefoam xtray looks like it might be a good basic standard to work from

Glad you had a great time Jimmy. The look onyour face when Mark said “he had toget a passport to play here” about a hundred places earlier than you were expecting was priceless.

Good idea, I’d encase them in carbonite if I could. I don’t know I I’d have the nerve to put my army into luggage, I’d be a nervous wreck until I got them on the other side.

I agree with the idea of keeping Irish rankings to Irish only event (including the north).

Rgding ETC selection I think there are massive gains to be had in including players who play aboard. They are a good source for ideas and keeping the team dynamic. They also provide a good metric of how the team might do at the ETC. If player X goes aboard and does badly at German GT but comes back wins every event in Ireland what does that say about the Irish game scene?
In playing against different opponents they are going to gain difference experiences which will contribute to the team dynamics. If it was tried with a home grown team they would have the same experiences so probably reach similar conclusion. I’m doing a lot of team theory these days and most of it seems to advocate mixing the team members. As Jimmy points out its hard to quantify and compare the effects using foreign inputs but it is still worth looking at.

This might be one of the uses of the wild card.

Give it to a player with a good international ranking.

The problem with rolling it into the Irish rankings are
1. It’s the Irish rankings – as Lenny pointed out
2. The scoring system for points can differ between countries

Comment on Quae caret ora cruore nostro? by Lenny

Lenny — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:43:27 +0000

Why are we not offering international tournaments as ranking events? Because they are the IRISH rankings.

You seem to be falling into the fallacy that the rankings exist to facilitate the ETC team. The Irish Rankings exist to support the Irish gaming community, so it makes absolutely zero sense to have a Danish (for example) tournament count.

Also I don’t see how it helps the ETC team. It may be expensive for you to attend Irish tournaments Phil – but you do live in Germany. It costs most people very little to attend a local tournament, a little more to travel for one, but going to two-day events (such as Bloodstorm or Warpcon) can cost no more than €100 if you plan it well. Whereas attending a UK event after you cover flights, accommodation and beer money would be multiples of that.

There is a cross Europe ranking and tournament site already. It focusses mostly on Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France but the admins have started to include results and events from all over Europe.

http://www.tabletopturniere.de

It’s available in English too, I use it all the time for planning out my event attendance and finding things going on in my local area.
