A tale of X number of gamers
« on: December 12, 2009, 11:09:02 AM »
Hey guys,
           John, Murph and I were kicking around ideas to learn the whole fantasy game more and mayebe even get more minis painted. So here's what we're currently planning.

Starting now, we'll plan on getting 500 points painted a month. At the end of said month we'll spend an afternoon\eve in the store playing against each other with what we have. The target goal being 3000 points. 

We plan on meeting the first Saturday in January, with the first 500pts. By May we'll be at the 3k target, and we'll look at either 40k or another fantasy go round :)


If your interested just chime in, we've not planned on fees or prizes, this is a casual challenge.

All are welcome!

Cheers,
Alan

I'm in. I have over 2000pts of Wood Elves to paint and this type of thing might help me get motivated to do it. Does the painting begin the first saturday in Jan or is that when the 1st 500 should be done by?

Well the idea was to have the first group of 500 done by the 2nd/3rd of Jan.

However, It's the holidays, and I'm not adverse to making that the 16th.

Thoughts?

I may be interested. This would be an awsome way for me to re-learn the game and make beastmen. Sadly that has to wait until the new beasts Rule book is released and I finish my preperations for the mega battle.

That's the plan. I can't paint 500 a week, so here's hoping this pays off.

Right now we're looking at the weekend of the 17th to get together and play.

So to confirm, who's in with What?
There's Murph, woc\or dwarves, John WOC. Alan WOC\and or NG.

Hey guys,
         I've spoken to some of you over the last few days and the following questions came up. So here's some more info plus Q & A.

The idea is to motivate people to learn WHFB by playing and get their armies built\painted. Ideally we meet on a Saturday around the middle of each month and spend an afternoon\evening playing.

We'll start with 500 points on January 16th, and add 500 points each month thereafter for six months.

Q. Do I have to start a new army?
A. No, work with what you have and paint\add as necessary, we're heading for 3000 points over 6 months.

Q. I always paint 500 points a month, my Army can be HUGE!
A. Don't worry about it, some months will be worse than others, we all have lives outside of gaming (well some of us do :)) Just get them built, paint what you can and turn up to play.

Q. Is there a fee?
A. No, this is a casual thing, the name of the game is bragging rights!

Q. What if I miss a month for Work\School\Sick?
A. Carry on, we'll see you the following month?

Q. Will beer be served?
A. Sorry Derek doesn't have the license, but if you can we'll go have a pint or two afterwards listen to war stories.

Q. What happens when we're done?
A. Good question, if we all enjoy it maybe we swap to 40k, or go again with fantasy.

Q. Will there be a finale?
A. Up in the air, let's see what we can come up with over the next 6 months


I know a bunch of you are looking forward to this, please keep in mind it's casual. If there are questions, or concerns just ask, we'll figure it out on the fly.

Cheers,
Alan.

Heya,
      Any preferences for time on Saturday, I'm open so I figured I'd just throw it out to the group.


Let me know what works\not.

Cheers,
Alan
