WISB III - GWHQ - 22/23 Sept 2012 - Besters wins!

[Aflo]

@Don_Vito: Thanks for the offer mate, there's a slim chance I might have to take someone up on it if things get too hectic, though I should be squared away to use a client's skaven team if it came down to it.

@PeteW: Cheers, the same to yourself! I'm almost a certainty on this though I can't fully commit yet as things'll be quite shaken up over the coming weeks...hopefully will have a brand spanking Nurgle team ready to frustrate the hell out of me. It's a bit cheeky asking as I don't know many people too well on the scene but it would make things alot easier if there was a kind someone who wouldn't mind donating a patch of floor space or garden for me to crash on. I've got camping kit so the latter wouldn't be a problem - do you know anyone I might contact to help me out? Cheers!

buying my airline tickets today... what is the best way to get back and forth from Brighton to Nottingham?

I plan to come up Friday afternoon some time so I can have some time to see you village before getting down to some major BB carnage on Saturday morning.

What time will everything be finished up? Not sure if I will take of that night or if it would be better to just plan on first thing Monday morning.

Train. Should be one change at London St Pancras. Probably take 3 and a half hours. You can book ahead using thetrainline.com or similar.

I will be working that Friday, but should be home around 4:30pm. There are a few regulars staying at my house and there will be games on the Friday evening that you would be very welcome at!

Thanks to Glowworm and talonbay for payment.

Aflo - as long as you aren't a serial house destroyer, then you are more than welcome to use a spare patch of carpet/lawn at my house. There are a few others staying over already.

21 coaches paid up now - 19 places left!

[Aflo]

Perfect, thank you very much Pete. I expect I'll be able to fully confirm or not in a couple of weeks or so.

What's the situation regarding staying at yours if you ARE a serial house destroyer Pete? I have a 'friend', let's call him "Von_Dito". He may have form for being sick where he shouldn't be in very expensive houses owned by very important people. He may also have form for drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and snoring loud enough to wake a house full of hardened Blood Bowlers? And you really shouldn't ask for his rap sheet at various past Albabowls...

(I'm sure 'he'll' behave!)

He's stayed before and, as far as I recall, his only crime was eating a kebab indoors (for which he was banished to the patio). He can have an air bed in the kitchen, where the floor is wipe-clean. Also, I'm sure that the "talk" he had with Mr Gegg following his previous indiscretion will keep him well behaved for at least 20 years.

Aflo - will be good to meet you. I think my details are still on the rules pack.

any chance of adding me to the toruney plz, thanks

[KhorneliusPraxx]

With a name like KhemriBob...he's got to be good.

[Maverick]

Payment made

[PeteW]

Thanks Maverick! NAF reg is good - should be some dice there.

PeteW, am I supposed to send you a roster in advance? If so, when is the deadline for this?

[Keith-Lemon]

Is it true you can not use none GW models at this event?

[PeteW]

Well, generally GW try to be fussy in Warhammer world about people using only GW models. However, they have never cared before about the Bloodbowl tournament that I have played in there and they are also aware that they don't know the models well enough to make a judgment. I did hear a story at a BBGT a few years back where one of the staff tried to stop someone using 2nd edition models. Their boss took them away and gave them a good telling off.

Also, the WISB is the same weekend as Games Day, so no-one will be at WW anyway so it won't be a problem.

I'll ask for rosters a couple of weeks before the event, but it isn;t necessary and if a few people want to present them on the day then it isn't a problem. The rules for this WISB are less complicated than for previous years so rosters will be way quicker to check.

The only non-GW model that I will have is for the Star Player that they don't make a figure for. If they did, I would use it.
