Epicstravaganza Two: Good to Go

[The Other Dave]

Well, it looks like alkyhol is no-go at the venue, alas.

[ashmie]

No worries Dave, probably for the best. I'll be there still.

After all Epic is only a 'little bit' of wargaming before my 6 month break.

@MiJ I owe you a game of 40k too before my hiatus.

[me_in_japan]

That you do, me ol' beansprout. Tbh, I don't see the need for a planned hiatus. Heck, I haven't played 40k for 6 months and that was an accident! I reckon you should dispense with the planning and whatnot, and just do whatever you feel like at the time and that fits your schedule. If, 2 or 3 months from now you feel the need to scratch that 40k itch, then go for it. If you'd rather paint napoleonics, watch a movie, play pooter games or spend time with the family instead, then go for that instead. Tekitounishite, ne

Sage words sir. I'll give it a rest for 6 months to a year and see his I feel.

Right, here's a bump as we're coming into the home stretch before ye olde event. I talked to YellowStreak today, and he let me know he'll be able to make it, so that's all right.

If you have questions about how to get here, what to bring, and the like, fire away!

Yo yo! I'm getting quite excited about all this epic shenanigans I've decided, btw, that if possible I'd like to play Nids, if that isn't a problem. Sorry for not being more decisive sooner. I take it I don't need more than a passing acquaintance with the rules to play? I intend to read em, but I can't promise actually knowing em. Btw - where is the best place to download the epic rules from?

Nids, check! Don't worry too much about the rules - the morning game will be a learning game for most of the folks involved, I think, and I'll walk you through it.

You can get the rules from the GW site, under "resources" in the Epic section.

So what kind of ORKs will me 'ave at me kontrol? does me get a chooz 'em?

Yup, you can choose either the warhorde or the gargant bigmob.

Oh, also! Can you remember to bring that Avatar? I think I'm going to field Eldar myself (unless YellowStreak wants 'em) as my other choice, the Necrons, are a bit rules-bendy to use against newbie Epic players. (And since Eldar are pretty rules-bendy themselves, that's saying a lot.)
