@Dave, actual Epic this time? I might need to get a few more units ready by then but sure.
Btw which ruleset did you want to use? The one on epic-uk or net-armageddon?
The base ruleset is the same AFAIK - the only real differences between them are the army lists. I prefer epic-uk's myself for tightness of rules writing, but I reckon they're compatible enough for our purposes!
Feel free to call me Dave!

Sure, I'll see what sort of lists I can cobble together with the stuff I have. What points limit should I aim for?
I could probably do around 2000-ish max without it being mostly titans.

I like the idea of deciding strategy and schemes beforehand.

And if it's a problem that some people have fewer models to choose from to build their crews, we could always twist the rules and build crews first and then decide strategy and schemes. That way, people who do have models to choose from will generally need to take more of an all-comer's lists, rather than tailoring specifically for that one game.
That shouldn't be a problem - I think every game I've played in so far, I've built my crew first. I'll probably bring a Molly crew this time. I can make a list and post it in the next couple of weeks.

2000 definitely works!

So... I ended up buying more stuff and now I'm at the point where I could field 2000pts without any aircraft or titans.
Are you planning on fielding any of those? If you aren't I'm not going to bother learning those rules.

For 2000 I wasn’t going to (and I thought I’d bring ‘nids anyway, who are aircraftless).

Sounds good, I'll probably be bringing 2000pts of titan-less, aircraft-less Chaos Space Marines then. There doesn't seem to a decent Alpha Legion army list out there so I'm probably going to be running either Black Legion, Iron Warriors(most likely), or Red Corsairs.

@Balloonacorn, if you want to try a game of Underworlds using one of the warbands you've picked up and just their faction cards, let me know.
I don"t have any Underworlds to play but if you want to play Malifaux with keyword only I would be game.

Ah, I thought you'd said you got the Crimson Court a while back. :) I may bring my Malifaux box along, but TBH probably can't fit much more than a 45 minute game or so into the day without pushing out Epic / AT.

Leave your Malifaux at home and I will get a game with you in the new year.
