Hi Karl,
Would you like me to bring my General's Compendium to look up scenarios which you can convert to Grimdark?

Michael

Thanks for they offer Michael, but I'll dig into 40k books for a scenario for this one. It's a good excuse to bring out The original Apocalypse, Planetfall, etc.

Jon,
What do folks think about 2000 points each plus a super unit?

Charlie,
I can provide a Necron Monolith that I think is either a 505 point Prison Monolith or an 870 point Death Fortress. If you're short on points, I've got at least 2000 points of Necron your can pull from.

That all sounds great to me. I can easily field 2000 points -- that's what I'd planned on, and then printed more -- but I don't have any of the really big units. Biggest I've got is one of the Tripod Walkers. So, I'll definitely take you up on that. Once we figure out what the rest of the forces look like, we can decide if it's the Titan, or the Merely Huge.

Karl, I like your proposal. The knight and flyer will work nicely with the Dark Angels.

2k + a super unit works for me. We should say 2k + a super unit for a total up to 3k pts. Means the larger super units armies warhound/stompa would be somewhere closer to 1600/1800 pts of everything else. And the smaller bombers/strike fighter armies would add additional (ideally larger units tanks/vehicles) to make up the pts difference.

I can bring either Thousand Sons (or Orcs, or Eldar, but I feel like 1000 sons is a better ally for the robot army) and field the Warhound or Bomber on Charlie's side of the table, OR I can do Sisters of Battle to pair with Karl's Dark Angels. Quite happy to play either one.

Tim, let us know what army you are bringing and that will nail down which army I need to bring.

If anyone needs a force or supplements to get to 2k, I am sure we can provide.

Looking forward to this. Will plan to be there earlier than I usually arrive. Cheers!

Sounds like things are coming together nicely!

Charlie, how many points do you have painted?

I have a model I can use as their crab walker, or I can borrow one of Jon's models.

[Jackswift]

Awesome Tim! I'll bring the Warhound and bomber if you want to use them but feel free to use your crab walker. Stats for both the warhound and bomber are further up this chain. Feel free to change the Symbol of change to correspond to plague Marines. I'll bring Sisters of Battle for my army and side with the Dark Angels. Karl let me know if you want to use the Knight Titan or the strike fighter and I will take the other and stat out accordingly. Cheers!

[Eilif]

This is looking awesome!
Everything laid out here sounds great.

So then it's 2k plus big units to get to 3k?

I'm going to propose that we all voluntarily combine units where appropriate and as the rules allow to keep the game moving quickly.

Tim and Charlie,
Looking forward to seeing those on the table. I haven't put my list together yet, but expect allot of Terminators.

Jon,
If you don't mind I'd love to take the Knight.

[Jackswift]

Karl, sounds good, I'll take the Avenger Strike Fighter. Agree to combine units where it makes sense to do so. A 2k sisters force isn't all that large from a model count.

Hello Everyone,
I have not heard back from Mattias since Wednesday. I had emailed him here, but have not heard if he wants to play Blood Bowl and what team he may bring. If I do not hear from him by tomorrow, just asking if I can squeeze into the Grimdark game?
Thank you,
Michael
