Looks like Treadiculous is holding a weekend mini-meet at his place in Brighton. Some of you might have received this PM from him:
But when I asked him earlier (by text) what sort of replies he'd had he told me that his internet had been taken down by a rampaging Carnifex. His access will be spotty whilst he bests the beast in close combat (using only a damp piece of paper and a low powered flashlight) so I agreed to set up a thread for responses and pass info on to him.

I replied, but I can't come down this time. I have an appointment with a Painboy on Monday, and it will be painful.
Also I haven't even read the new rules yet.. Or sorted my bastion out.

I was really annoyed because I have a family doo and you'd be silly to say no, Its on my door step, but it gives me time to read some more on 6th. Next time, I'm so up for bringing everything I have (Imperial guard) Apocolypse style ;D

I didn't get an invite, boo hoo. Although this could be due to me hardly knowing Tread and living no where near so I'm not too disappointed. Hope who ever goes has a great time! I may hold a mini meet myself once I finish my table and learn the new rules, oh and maybe paint something.

Tread only had a little time to send out PMs. As he says in the above quote anyone who can make it is welcome.
It looks like I will be free on Sunday, part of Saturday and with luck Friday.

I know that Tread has played a lot of Necromunda in the past. So it might be doable. I'll try and remember to text him about it at a more sociable hour than now.

YAY.. I have internet!
It took a whole bag of my special fungus mix to calm the savage carnifex, but its now wandering around my garden talking to pixies, dancing to psy-trance and admiring tie dye!.. but at least I have my internet back!
To Brigadeer General Foster, I am ashamed to say I didn't include you as I only PM'd people I could remember being in the south ish of the UK.
The conspicous absence from this is Cosmic, he would make an excellent 4th player! (and only lives a few miles away)
It looks at the moment like there will be friday and sunday games with Emptyhat, though what occurs on saturday I don't yet know (as Empty cannot do saturday for some reason.. unless we tie him to the table and glue a tape measure to his phone dialing hand on friday).
3 game concepts I was toying with were:
1) a smallish points game on the apocalypse sized table - to see how tactics vary when there is a lot of space - I figure this would be quite a rapid game.
2) an invasion of a Meks yard where-in the Imperium is deployed via transport aircraft and has to disable the anti tank weaponry before they get any reinforcements (delivered in the form of chimera / russ)
3) a possible re-enactment of the final battle in saving private ryan, where a 250 point army with loads of cool toys and traps etc has to defend a bridge against a 1k army in a dense urban environment. (or similar).
let me know your thoughts.. I have tonnes of stuff here, so don't worry too much about bringing stuff that might get damaged .. on the other hand I'd love to see your paint work and see you adding tank kills to your own crews.
adkepachai - I used to play a lot of Necromunda, I know dorset is a treck but are you interested in coming?.. It'll probably be 6th ed 40k all weekend though!
can anyone prod cosmic with a vox vast?
ps.. does anyone have a TV screen, xbox / playstation and the Space Marine Game? (my computer is poop, though am saving to get one that'll run space marine). I guess if you have a decent PC you could bring we could plug it into the monitor + keyboard etc here and use my copy of space marine (which I bought in blind optimism).
PPS: Ashotninga - yes I do mind unpainted Mini's (!! gasp, shock, horror !!! - this is beacuase I really like to take cinematic looking photo's of big games)... but since I have a stupid quantity of stuff I doubt you won't be able to find a painted version already here. Just let me know what is unpainted and we can work out what to do about it.
PPPS: I guess I can collect people from the station (and maybe even collect Cosmic and his warhound from his address if really needed) and carry them back to my house. It would be good to synchronise arrival times though!
Yay!
