Maelstrom is huuuuuge! Hopefully there'll be space. Apparently Lupus did contact them for us last time and was very annoyed to find out that Mantic Games were doing a tournament there, with Alessio Cavatore attending.
There was still plenty of space for us, but that was during the summer holidays.. :/
Also : Winter time games? Will it be snowing or icy in January?

I'm more worried about slipping over onto my cases (with all those sharp, drilled and pinned rough rider lances). Those wires are as thick as coat hanger wire..
Decent shoes (read Caterpillars) will be a must.

I cant believe that youre choosing outfits and footwear already, you big nancies  vegna: I think a deal with TravelLodge would be a great idea (group booking or whatever they call it), it wasnt expensive last time, but any money saved is always good |

just might be an idea, I do think firstly we need to work out: 1) Who wants to attend. 2) when they can attend. so if everyone can say we can get the ball rolling! so far: Gabriel Lupus Trickstick Dave & Ant Makarova - January Obscura Rolling Thunder cheminhaler Shostak - any weekend empirespy - if he can get the time Brigadier General Foster 3ff3ct - January cosmic2157 vegna - 1st-6th january, april up to the 20th and any time between june and early september (thats if i last the next 3 weeks at uni lol) Guessing as well everyone seems happy with Maelstrom, guess it has good traport connections, middle of the country and near the airport i think... Obscura would be great to have you join in, orks or marines would be fine can easily work the marines in to the campaign fluff, it is a WAAAAAGHHHH!! after all they might get called in (AoBR style lol) Brigadier General Foster they dont have to be painted to play, sure no one will complain about it. and guess there will be a few rule books laying around to reference to, would definately bring mine if i can make it. cosmic2157 if you can field a few squads it can easily be added to the fluff as a specialist company or something and all you need is 1 command squad and 2 veteran squads for a legal army... |

Right... looks like you all seem to be happy with, and decided on making Maelstrom the venue for gaming and Travelodge the hotel of choice... that's pretty groovy then Suppose I'll get on with updating the initial post like last time... As for dates, Vegna's options were rather helpfully specific - so I'll put a poll on (like last time). just vote for the one (or I might give two votes per person...) that works best for you. But before I add the poll, if anyone else has any further dates you want considered, post them here (or PM them to me) and I'll include them in the poll. Probably add the poll a week today (2nd of October), so any other dates need to be in before then. Obscura, just for saying you'll look in to coming for the next meet up makes you a legend! If you manage to make it, I think declaring you as a living Imperial Saint would be in order... EDIT: forgot to add - Everyone, if you can definitely make it to the get together, please confirm either in the thread or (preferably) by PMing me. Cheers. |

If things go well, I'll be there. I have to renew my Passport, but that shouldn't take forever and a day.
As for points, I'll bring my 2500 IG list, 1850 Space Wolves Terminator list and probably just one Apoc formation: Deathstrike Vortex Missile. So I think I'll bring an easy 5k worth of stuff.
Though January would make things easier, since the post office here has been known to hiccup Passports and other important documents. Plus, it'll be easier to get a cheaper flight so many months in advance along with guaranteed PTO from work.

I second Lupus's suggestion of Living Sainting you, although having Mansfield as your impression of England won't be great.... |

Is January the prevailing date right now? I'd rather it was a month or two later so my budget can recover from stuff like Christmas.

Since my dancing naked while chanting warhymns and doing other Patron saint stuff during your get together seemed to work so well.
I would ask if I can have the honour of being your patron saint this time again?

April would be great. Good point, emptyhat. What would we do without your brain? (That sounded very....zombie)
I want Baneblade number 3 for Xmas.
Speaking of which I was shocked to find out that my Mars pattern Baneblade is now an OOP item, just like my resin battlewagon.
Dave! Check your PM box, dude.

The more time the better, because I understand that you all want to meet again soon, I really need time to finish my five Valkyries, 20 mercs, my Malcador, build 60 Guardsmen from ECW and DG models, build 30 Rough Riders from ECW cavalry, build six Ogryns, and then paint this mess.

I think you'll be the Patron Saint of all the meet ups MGK Ok, January is sounding like a bad idea due to the vicious cost of Xmas... good catch there Emptyhat. April is sounding better - Vegna gives us a good window of potential weekends. I'll still wait before adding a poll, just to be sure. Added a few more names to the list - pretty much pre-empting peoples confirmations |

Yeah, I need time to repaint 10 HQ with Retinue, 1 Lord Commissar, 30 Guardsman with Weapon Teams, 50 Veterans, 8 Chimeras, 9 Leman Russes, 3 Manticores and convert a Vortex Deathstrike Missile Launcher.
. . . and that's not even counting me finishing my 25 Space Wolves True Scaled Terminators. . .
