aye...
like it says on the tin, this 'ere be a thread for those lucky to live near one another and able to organise a micro gathering this coming sunday.
so this is more of a conversation between myself, emptyhat, cosmic and cheminhaler so we can sort out a plan.
Main things for us 4 to discuss is what flavor teams we are fielding... and any sort of narrative setting we can put to this venture.
I have a couple of pre written lists to choose from: a very fond yet suicidal guard foot list, a very fluffy non competitive ork list and a black templar list (which is making the most of a cruel 6th ed FAQ).
I have a few other models knocking about so would be happy to try and knock a list together with another team mate to compliment what they want to field or plan they want to try.
I'll also bring my spare bits of scenery for Empty as I've built too much a need to make room in my cupboard.
I realsied I can fit my big grey 6' x 4' table board into my transit van, so if it helps I can easily bring that along too. (though I'll be taking it home afterwards!).
I'm also happy to provide transport from burgess hill as its probably quicker than picking you up from brighton station, though a small donation toward fuel would be ace.
so.. what other armies are out there...

I'm bringing 2k of guard. I'll bring the feudal Kremlov guard down this time, with their psychic support.

I was hoping to make it to any meets that came up, but unfortunately you're doing this one just as I'm starting various January exams. Oh well, if the venues good perhaps it could become a semi - regular event. Have fun everyone!

I can bring my small guard, although I've only played a couple of games with Empty and I lost both times!

Ashot, Major Downer, prilladog. This is just a small get together that I'm hosting at my house that I've invited some of the IGMB members who I've met before and who live near me.
It isn't intended as a snub to any other members that you weren't invited and given the interest we will have to organise something a bit more open and public in the near future. Since Shostak is interested but busy during January perhaps we can get a venue together early February.
As for this micro meet, it really will be that. With one day and a single table I think four players is about the right number of people before we get people who are spending more time standing around than playing but if this works out well this time and there is room for expansion I'll certainly try to work something out in the future and Tread has also been interested in hosting in the past so that might also be an option.
..............................
As for Tread's post:
Since this will be at my house I'm in the nice position of being able to field anything I own but right now I'm thinking of putting together an Ork list that focuses on my latest stuff that I painted and a general guard list.
Perhaps we could play a 2vs2 game of Orks vs guard and later play a battle with 4 guard armies on the table?

If it ever ventures as far south as Cape Town, let me know. I won't be able to attend but seeing as everyone else was pointlessly jumping in I thought I would too

Hi.. for all of you who want a larger event, I may be able to host something at mine in the next couple of months... would probably be some kind of apocalyptic thing with teams round one table. The RTS style game was a big success so I'm thinking of running a similar game soon.
There is also Brighton Warlords, which is a pub room on Monday nights (I believe) and they have a lot of tables, though there aren't many spare as its quite popular. (well, was on the one occasion I went).
Another cunning option is self storage rooms, these can be rented for minimal cost over a day or two, yet provide big empty spaces and lots of privacy. Tend to be short on electricity sockets and tables though.
.....
As for this coming sunday;
I think Me and Empty were planning on oppossing one another since we know each other quite well now and we would make a strong team if we played together (not tactically, just on the basis we get on well), so it'll be nicer to get to know Chemin and Cosmic by teaming with them instead.
I'd be happy to work with Cosmic to compliment his force of Guard, I have enough stuff to be able to work with Cosmic and find something which will mesh well with his force.
This would mean that Chemin would need to bring or use some Orks though...
In the 2k games are we fielding two separate 1k detachments each with a full FOC? .. thus we would each have a HQ Warlord character and compulsory 2 troop?.. and the possibility of 2 sets of allies...

Not really. Orks can ally with my guard, I guess. I'm using a single FOC but I have no problem with someone using the double.

Not really. Orks can ally with my guard, I guess. If you are not sure about playing the same side as Orks then I'm happy to field guard. Perhaps as a second game Tread and I can team up an ork force to stomp on you and Cosmic? (Hawhawhaw.)

OK. This sounds better. Purple and blue guardsmen led by pskyers.... No wonder the Templars got involved.
