He wants to test out his new Blood Angels and I'm happy to bring the Tau up against them. Should be a good matchup. If you're free and interested to come down, it would be good to meet you in person. If not, we'll set up some other time. We're still unpacking stuff in the new apartment so we might need a bit more time :-)<br /><br />Andy, you're absolutely right. I definitely get a kick out of seeing the cool stuff other people have done and it's really inspiring to get that. It's nice too when someone enjoys your blog; that makes me want to work harder to keep doing what I'm doing.<br /> Good luck on finding a gaming buddy for Warmachine. There are a number of online stockists for PP in the UK (Maelstrom and Wayland games are two I know of) but your best bet would probably be to look up if there is a Privateer Press Press Ganger your way. There is one in the local store here and I think they get bonuses for introducing new people to the hobby so you could probably get a learner game or two in without even buying anything that way. Not sure how to find them though, maybe shoot PP an email.<br /><br />PetePete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-1981813372615816912010-04-09T19:22:41.090+02:002010-04-09T19:22:41.090+02:00Haha, I think we've both fulfilled one of the ...Haha, I think we've both fulfilled one of the best functions of blogs, inspiring each other. :)<br /><br />I wish I could find someone in the sprawling multicultural utopia that is Swindon (sarcasm detectors across the world are overloading as I write this) who plays Privateer games - even finding a stockist anywhere near here is proving tricky. <br /><br />I live in hope though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102290238629069459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-2010503772053347262010-04-09T19:12:39.564+02:002010-04-09T19:12:39.564+02:00I'd love to, I am a little more free these day...I'd love to, I am a little more free these days, so just let me know when you are free :).

I haven't quite decided how I would like to play but I think that having so much beatdown (great phrasing, thanks) will be a lot of fun and I will have a good time smashing stuff even if I lose the game. First of all though I need to paint up that warpack. Perhaps we can set up a game sometime and you can show me how warmahordes works. <br /><br />@Andy. Speak for yourself. I'm so tempted to get more terminators now that I've seen your Lysander and other model. Really great work and very inspiring. Maybe you can find a PP player in your local area who could give you a game or two to see if it's your thing. I'm also planning to use these models in other games (with opponent's consent) so that will be fun to make up some new rules.Pete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-2380856906058637712010-04-08T23:52:39.719+02:002010-04-08T23:52:39.719+02:00Bloody hell, how did I miss this?

It's perfectly legal of course, the restrictions for what you put in your army are pretty easy-going. You'll need to play a 100 point game to use two warlocks though (or just a friendly opponent!).<br /><br />I think tournament armies are anywhere from 25-50 points, for reference.<br /><br />And I have no idea how effective it would be, but with that much beatdown on the table, what does it matter?? Plus it'll be a blast to paint in addition to the fun of playing!Asmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555809677595527426noreply@blogger.com
