Storm of Chaos

[Heimdall]

Yo fantasy battle dudes.

The GW run Fantasy battle campaign “the Storm of Chaos” is due to commence soon.
If you’ve been living in a troll hole for the last 6 month see stormofchaos.oz.games-workshop.com/default.htm?country=oz for details.

Basically GW tallies battle results from all over the planet and these results affect whether or not the Empire city of Middenheim is sacked by Chaos armies. This can affect the nature of the Olde World. Well the fluff for our armies anyway.

I was wondering if the LoEG meetings on July 18 and August 15 should have registered battles for the Storm of Chaos? This could be an organised and advertised thing by LoEG or just an impromptu thing individual members take account of.

Anyway is anyone interested in having some Storm of Chaos related battles?

[darkesstemplar]

yep im definaly interested in having some SOC battles... my vampire counts of vulf von drak are ready for some war

[adrian roberts]

Hi guys

This SoC games sound very good!

Just read the book and I'm ready to play a few games towards the Campaign!

Any challenges will be accepted!

Ado

[Heimdall]

I’ll be interested in defending the Empire with my Middenheim lads, or at least smashing some Chaos heads with me Orcs.

Any bad ass invaders out there lookin’ for a match up during the Storm?

Oh and what size armies should we be bringing along to June 20? Are we dropping down to a more manageable 2000 points now or is 2500 still the go?
Or should we be doing 1500 pointers to practise for GT's upcoming teams tourney?

[darkesstemplar]

my vampire counts are also interested in defending the empire to protect sylvania but will also attack it at times... any challangers will be accepted... I would fight your empire lads heimdal if your interested

[Heimdall]

Ok Darkesstemplar : My Empire stalwarts will have a bash at your Vampires.

It's a shame to fight each other when we have a common enemy in Chaos..however we can't have the taint of Sylvania spreading into the rest of the Empire now can we?

I'll be at the meeting this Sunday at 9am if you want to settle this ASAP? However as the Storm of Chaos doesnt start til July we just could call it a pre-Storm territorial spat?

[darkesstemplar]

yeh i will be there at 9am aswell so we can get into the game. i can have up to 3000pt. Lets have this game as a warm up to SOC and say my vampires are marching to the empires aid and we bump into each other and my vampire and your lord have a fall out or something... in soc I will be fighting chaos all the time though and leave the empire alone... perhaps we could get a multiplayer battle going for soc and your empire and my vampires along with what ever allies we can get can have a bash to the evil side...

[Heimdall]

Sounds good - nice to know you'll be fighting against Chaos (can't have your food supply wiped out eh? ;D)

How do you feel about a 2000 point battle on Sunday?
Is that enough or do you want something larger?

[darkesstemplar]

im happy with 2000pt or any size battle you want... lol yeh us vampires cant have our food supply threatened and chaos kinda annoyed us when they came marched across our lands also even though us vampires and empire dont get along most of us are happy to help the empire out against chaos its a common enemy

[Heimdall]

Ok

Lets do 2000 points. (though you might wanna bring a larger force if you want another battle with some of the other dudes) See you at 9am on Sunday- I’ll be the tall guy with the Empire Army!

I’m curious to see how many Chaos/ Skaven/ Dark Elf players will be participating in the Storm. I haven’t heard a lot about evil aligned Brisbane players. Hopefully we can identify a few on Sunday and organise some match ups in July and August.

[darkesstemplar]

good stuff yeh we should organise some games on sunday for when SOC starts... i wonder aswell what evil followers in brisbane will be up to aswell... i quess we will find out. See you on sunday i will be in all black (im half goth ;D) im craig by the way. look forward to the game

[Heimdall]

Good game Craig!
I guess the result means the Empire won’t be contesting the Carstein’s claims on Sylvannia anytime soon.

(Lousy no good fear test tests…next time gadget, next tiiiiiiime…)

You still keen for the Team GT in July?
I plan to register my Team GT results in the Storm of Chaos.

[darkesstemplar]

hey there. it was a good game lol looks like the empire wont be walking through sylvania for a while ;D
Im all signed up for SOC aswell as a defender... kinda strange thinking a creature of the night is fighting for the light
Yeh im still all good for the team torny in july if you are.

[Heimdall]

Yo Craig

I wont be able to do the Team tourney in July after all (lousy-no-good-visiting-relatives-grumblemumble)
I was looking forward to some 1500 point grooviness as Geoff runs a good tourney!

Sorry about that dude!...if you're still keen you might wanna advertise on this site or on wargamerau. There's bound to be a few more people looking for teams.

I'll be at LoEG the day after for a quick little storm of chaos action anyhoo. Good luck in your game vs Shags-I played his Lizards two months ago and they are rock hard- though the fear autobreak ability of undead should help ya ;D

[Craig]

Its ok i proberly wasnt able to make it anyway... girl friend wants more attention as for shags lizardmen i know they are preety mean i have though agaisnt them in a torny and got a draw.... wonder how this game will go though
