Title: Games Day UK '09


Iacton - February 7, 2009 10:47 AM (GMT)
Rumour has it that the date will be September 27th.

You have 231 days.

Gentlemen (and any ladies who may be considering attending) start your engines!! ;)

Whitehorn - February 7, 2009 06:35 PM (GMT)
Brum Brum.

I fancy trying out the duel and maybe vehicle for GD.

little horus - February 7, 2009 09:41 PM (GMT)
yes :lol: brill i can go my parents have no choice in the matter(muwhahaha :) )

Lord Commander Lucius - February 8, 2009 12:55 AM (GMT)
I'm definatly going. It'll be my first one now that i don't have to get a parent involved. :D

ShroudFilm - February 8, 2009 07:43 PM (GMT)
I shall be there, one way or another...

Maratheus - February 8, 2009 07:59 PM (GMT)
It would be extremely interesting to get there from these here hinterlands. How hard are the tickets to get and how long will they be selling them before the actual event?

Your still under under 16 dude, so u need to have a responsible adult with you <_<
However, in the eyes of the law as of tuesday I can be your adult if you want, but You will have to find someone else to be responcible :lol:

I'll be going ;) Theres no show without a BANG!!!

Angels_Blade - February 9, 2009 07:52 AM (GMT)
Right, we need a table for our beloved forum this year. I will make enquirys Who's up for that?

Not a game table but an Info table helping with conversions and the like and informing about all things heresy.

Between my studio contacts and Shroud's we should be fine what do you think?

If you can sort the travel then tickets are no problem.

Living in a small parochial town means that tickets will be quite freely available...

ShroudFilm - February 9, 2009 09:19 AM (GMT)
I see no problem with having a display game running as well... I'm sure in the aftermath of AOTE we'll have a big range of armies to choose from!

We need to speak to the GCN people.

Whitehorn - February 9, 2009 09:36 AM (GMT)
Let me know if this moves forward. TGC were looking at making a scale version of the attack on Horus' ship, but I'm not sure whether Ben realises we'd need the whole hall to fit the ship ^^

ShroudFilm - February 9, 2009 10:02 AM (GMT)
WE are "TGC"... not your Tamworth pretenders! :P

Aye, the NEC is only so big.

Vredesbyrd - February 9, 2009 01:46 PM (GMT)
Maratheus tickets usually go on sale in July iirc. If its easier for you to fly to these Hinterlands from yours then I'm sure we can work out some sort of travel arrangement down to the Midlunds from there.

Iacton - February 9, 2009 02:31 PM (GMT)
Fully intend to stay in/near the site the night before this year.

Not doing another 400+ mile round trip without a sniff of the old dizzy water again!

Vredesbyrd - February 9, 2009 02:49 PM (GMT)
Aye same here, the trek from Aberdeen to Birmingham via Carlisle is not something I massively want to do without a decent nights sleep and some beer. Especially as the event is dry!

Whitehorn - February 9, 2009 03:12 PM (GMT)
Glad I live 12 miles away :D

ShroudFilm - February 9, 2009 03:15 PM (GMT)
Ahh, the joy of gasmasks and hipflasks... :lol:

Sorry to go OT, but who are TGC?

Whitehorn - February 9, 2009 03:55 PM (GMT)
TGC are yet another Acronym namesake, Tamworth Games Club.

*Dusts off cobwebs*

(COUGH)
Hello people, god this took some finding, and some may concider this a great threadromancy, but hey, I am adding something important on the topic :D

well people, we have exactly 60 days till the event, and if you havn't started your entries for Golden demon and are intending to enter, "GET CRACKIN' !!!!!!" :lol:

I have got everything ready for my entry, so its time to start painting, and it got me thinking, hey I wonder who else is going, and who else is entering golden demon?

so, I put out two questions to you all.....

1. who of you are going to be atending?
2. is there going to be a meet like last year?

so everyone, the best of luck to you all and may the best painter (and Iacton :D ) win, hey, perhaps we can get a win for Team PH! or just a winning PH entry :D

Iacton - July 25, 2009 12:25 AM (GMT)
Have tickets. Will be staying in Brum the night before to get absolutely ratted too! I plan to make an Englishman of my visiting Italian friend by force feeding him lukewarm English ale also! :lol:

Project shush will be unveiled at GD hopefully with a 2nd entry in WHFB single.
I know that there will definitely be a Platoon Britannica meet during the day, so I will most likely be amongst the gang. However, this will be an ideal chance for the "Crusaders" to come and meet up too, plus meet some Demon winners and if you're lucky you might spot the lesser spotted Slayer sword winner amongst the group!

ShroudFilm - July 25, 2009 11:02 AM (GMT)
We're going to be there filming for BLTV, and I shall either be in costume again (!) or raising a huge TGC banner aloft for people to spot and come say hello.

For those of you who aren't donating members, there will also be a bit of fun on the day to get you free Loyalist membership - watch this space for more details. ;)

Vredesbyrd - July 25, 2009 01:09 PM (GMT)
I actually have no idea whatsoever if I'm going or not, someone was going to buy my ticket for my but seems to have been on a total media blackout these last few weeks.

Gagoc TheAncient - July 25, 2009 11:21 PM (GMT)
I'm going, and I've started on my Golden Demon entry.
I just hope I can get it finished in time.

Kriegersen - July 25, 2009 11:44 PM (GMT)
vreds!!!!
sorry man, I have been at work all the time for ages! sorry man, however there is still a coach ticket left so I will try get it for you on monday ;) trust me, it isnt going anywhere :D
I will let you know if there are any complications :)

PM me if you want to know more, and as said man, sorry bout the media blackout, just I havnt seen you on the facebook for ages, and my phone took a spaz the other week :lol:

Kidjal - July 31, 2009 08:23 AM (GMT)
I'll be there with friends, mostly for my golden demon entries. I shall keep an eye out

Lord Commander Lucius - July 31, 2009 05:40 PM (GMT)
I will be there and possibly entering something. At the moment, it'll be either my Mortant 13th trooper or my just bought Iron Father( the US and Canda only one. Love inderpent stockists :D ).

Iacton - September 16, 2009 10:02 AM (GMT)
11 painting days to go! :o

Right, let's have a show of hands.

WHO'S DEFINITELY COMING? (please don't post if you are NOT coming)

We'll see if we can sort some sort of meet up, amongst the CMON meet and the Platoon Britannica meet, the Painters' Banquet, the Sheffield Irregulars meet.....

ShroudFilm - September 16, 2009 11:19 AM (GMT)
I shall be there, with my ShroudFilm cameraman, filming for GW and BL. I shall wear my TGC shirt so people can spot me...! :D

Whitehorn - September 16, 2009 11:55 AM (GMT)
I don't currently plan to attend. If our club gets free tickets again within the next 2 weeks, I'll probably get one on the cheap and come along, but otherwise I only want the figure :P

Kidjal - September 16, 2009 12:26 PM (GMT)
I'll be there for youuuuu

Ahem.

King Fluff - September 16, 2009 09:14 PM (GMT)
I'm going....

Possibly entering my cauldron of blood....

Ross you can have my fig ;)

Gagoc TheAncient - September 17, 2009 08:03 PM (GMT)
So where and when should we all meet?

And Shroud, when can I pick up my T-shirt and from where?

Itkovian - September 18, 2009 08:44 AM (GMT)
I'll be coming, stuck on the lovely store bus with a bunch of screeming kids - yay...

Plenty of time to catch up on reading though...

Iacton - September 18, 2009 09:32 AM (GMT)
Yay! ^_^ That means you won't arrive and go home before lunch this year then... :P

Whitehorn - September 18, 2009 10:12 AM (GMT)
Planning my entries for 2010 ;)

Iacton - September 18, 2009 10:28 AM (GMT)
Planning my dinner for tomorrow, that's about all...

Kriegersen - September 18, 2009 08:02 PM (GMT)
I shall be in attendance :D
(dont know wether thats agood thing or a bad thing :unsure: )

Lord Commander Lucius - September 21, 2009 05:59 PM (GMT)
I know what the Battle of Prospro Magnus looks like. He's in my local store. :D

According to the staff member i asked, it's one of 4 that have been made out of resin. I don't know if that means there are 4 magnus's and 4 Russ's around or 2 of each.

though why my store got one is a mystery. <_<

I'll try to post photos if you will excuse a possible double post.

Hopefully here it is otherwise see him a GD.
Magnus Piccy's

Apologies for the rubbish pictures. I was testing the Iphones camera for the first time.
