That me paid in full (meet you in GW Edinbrugh). Now to get the IW ready for war...!!!! ;D & to try get the painting award

Jamie

[andymeechan]

You'd best check the painting criteria then - it's looking straightforward to get the first 35, but 40 is almost impossible!

Good luck!

[andymeechan]

Edited first post to include the date (20 September)! Only 10 tickets remain. Hope to see more of the Stirling crew - we're treating this as a warm-up for Rapid Fire!

[andymeechan]

Heh heh, sweet. It's a chap called 'Duffy' who plays at the GW Edinburgh Vets night. He's almost 17, so the number fits... All the other players are mid-20's+ I believe

Yep I know Duffy (got a game against him in a week time ;D ) & his Imperial Fist (mock him on warseer). Still can't belive someone PM him on warseer saying because there not Ultramarine he can not use them in games.. guy was for real on this as well toward Duffy ;D lol

Jamie your army all ready then?

Unit of 3 Termies left & A rhino. All this can wait until near the event to keep with my "paint a model or two before a event" alway has been since Conflict 2002 & just never feel right if I am not painting some before the event.
So most like get these finish from Thur to Fri depend how thing are right now.
Also just replacing a Flamer from Squad three...but he will be finish by Wed since I got the day to myself.

Jamie

[warsmith]

Just finish painting/varnish my force today/few moment ago. Fri will just see the tide up of my models as well as some icon on my Termies eg: IW skull/icon. Just need to draw up a few idea that will look cool.

Looking forward to the event.

On top that though I got the cold in no way is it as bad as it usely is & look to set/go away sooner than later ;D

Also a lot cool armies heading toward 40k Radio with Donzo Daemons, my IW & Andy from GW Edinbrugh Eldar army ;D

Also need to double check my army pts & then sort the army list out on Fri get it all printed off.

Jamie

Edit...

ahhh last min change damn you. Dropping the thrid unit of Termies (3 strong) due to not like how I painted them/conversion. It why the where replace in my GT force.

So because 5th Ed more toward troops & I want my army full force. Take the great advice from Phil Kelly in this month White Dwarf I'm going to get a small throw away unit of Chaos marine to baby site the object while the 5pts spare can upgread me a Melta gun in another squad ;D

[warsmith]

Just want to say a BIG thanks to the staff of ELG for running a really good tournament. Three games that have left me mental drain, ever game in the balance of one way or the other.

Also well done to Andy & his really brillaint Eldar force which had a lot time spent on it.

I am shatter.

Got a report & Andy M there photos posted there/to a link.

Let me know about Nov event as you can defo count me in again.
