Right, absolutely shattered but need to tell the people how it went!

Saturday: I picked up Hive and Rictus picked up Dominius from airports, and drove to WHW.

Hive got into a game with Sam (10) Death Guard vs Hives Storm Dragons





Needless to say Hive got his but kicked, having zero forces left, after killing 6 death guard (ooooo, you all say ;) )



The final fight to the end.

While he was doing this the rest of us were sorting out our GD entry models:



Rictus mudding his Landraider




Dominus finishing off his DKK



Josh painting his models other than 'black'





My beast finally finished!

After lunch we decided a 4500pt vs 4500pt battle, Marines vs IG






Notice Rictus's amazing white camo scheme!

Its a shame we ran out of time to complete the match Sal had dinner on!

We met up with DigitsDave at my house and checked the models:



And due to his CC ( :P ), Dominus spent another two hours painting.

No photos of us getting pissed......

In the morning Will took tuition of DD and improved his young blood entry with this:



Before leaving in convoy to the NEC

Awsome Will! Awsome!

We queue'd up and booked in the tanks together, and got them into the cabinet next to each other:



Competition looked good, and we recognised the serious contenders:









And in the middle, Dominius's DKK

We then wandered through the halls:





Seeing this brilliant set up:

Making our way to the mighrty Apocalypse stand, this was huge!

Sal beating the crap out of Rictus:




SC and little Dave



Digits Dave and Arhalien



I'll leave the rest of the photos here to Asmodai!

The final cut came and most of the favourites we had recognised had got picked, only 2 we disagreed with.

Think the only issue of the day was Dominus's squad was far better than half the finalists in that catergory, but with one of the top 3 being another DKK squad, you got the feeling they were (wrongly) balancing out the feel.




This coming in third behind the Chaos Baneblade on dead, tho alot of us thought this deserved a better position.

After this we all dispersed, and hopefully to meet again!

cool!! looks like you all had fun! :D

-Rob

Yeah, it was great fun meeting up with the others.Apologies for my constant disappearances however, come the afternoon the combination of no sleep (had to be up at an ungodly hour for the coach) + hot NEC had got to me a little and I was feeling a little sickly. Nice to have met all of you though and I'm already making plans for next year :D

Looks like a fun weekend was had by all. Do you know if anyone we know from Warseer got through?

Not as we know off, could be wrong tho!

oh yes, the Rictus meat shield.

Man i don't belong in photo's....

SC

was SC wearing a hong kong fooey(sp?) shirt?

sounds like you guys had a good time. i never get to have a good time. im in arkansas. :(

no clear pics of rictus, tis a shame.

got any video?

there is, i was wearing a HKP shirt, Rictus is the guy i'm manhandling in that first pic...and the second pic...oh..and the third pic.

there was much man-handling of Rictus. a joke perhaps only he will truly understand

SC

Looked like fun men. Better luck next year :)

Wow looks brilliant, I'll hopefully be there next year :)

cheers what were your placings?

Haha nice stuff guys!
AHAHAHA @ Rictus' shirt with his avatar on it!
Nice work.

Good to see you had fun!
We're hoping to go to Games Day here next year, so I'll definitely take pics, as well as pics of me going crazy with a shopping trolley and 3 grand at GW Rundle Mall in Nov!

Looked like a lot of fun!

Maybe I need to fly over for the next GD...

i meant that all the pics were all blurry, no clear shots of him(rictus), and you (SC) look different than in the pic on warseer and avatar. are you sure that it is you there?


im with light of, i may have to fly over some time in the future . . .

Looks cool, pity Petes DKOK didnt win, they look cool

Well nice work guys, hopefully in a few years ill go to the UK and go to Games day maybe

kieran

Wow, I remember the heady days of the GD/Games day mega event.

Looks like you had fun guys, thanks for the pics and better luck next year.

Sheep

Just be thankful you couldn;t see my face in the pic of me there:D

edit: I think personaly we should try to meet up earlier in the day next year (if I go); too many people I didn;t get a chance to meet properly :(

right, ill be adding my pics later (forgot my camera so relied on a friends)

Saw all the tanks from dads army, and i must say, then did look great in the 'flesh', also managed to get a cheeky pic of Rictus', jase's and DD's tank with mine held beside it just to get all 4 pics in shot :P

Not sure if i met any of you in person or not as i spent the day running a participation game with Stirling Wargamers, if any of you took part, then i would be the quiet half asleep one, unless you were there after 2 ish when i had taken my pro-plus and gained and extra boost of energy :D

Pics ASAP,

BYT

I had a cool day ,It was sweet to meet everybody .Sals a top lase Jase mate youve got yourself a cracker :) It was cool to see everybodys tanks (Even though i forgot to take any pictures of mine in the cabinet:( ) as for the hight light of the day it had to be the Reaver for me and the new DK squad and the new orks ,I will be having to have some of them I think :)









I didnt take that many photos these 4 are the best :(

:D

more to come later :)

You probably saw me; I was the tall loon with the fleece around his waist that wandered over several times in a false moustache. I didn;t announce myself because I wasn;t sure if it was the Stirling Wargamers that were hiding you and Steel legion ;) :P

Damn...now I'm really pissed off that I didn't make it...

Looks like you all had fun though. I'll try to make it next year...

-:D

As I've just been telling deadley, ill try and have the bit of footage I got of everyone posted up soon - if anyone really doesnt want to be on the internet then let me know and ill hack them out using an edit tool (I assume - god knows how because I havent done it before)

Arhalien, i do seem to recall a very tall person with a moustache, nice to have seen you at least :P

Just for those of you that didnt get to visit the table, heres what we put on :)







and to finish it off BYT himself (i dont usually wear that hat)

I had a brilliant weekend, it was fantastic to meet all those people I've been talking with for so many months, and all I can keep saying is many thanks to Jason and his family for letting me stay with them.

I had a great time looking around Warhammer World on Saturday, meeting Rictus and Dominus, and playing Sam and his Death Guard. I guess I did really get my arse handed to me, first time the Dragon Rider went down, but it was one of the best games I had had in a long time. At least, one of the 6 models I killed was a Land Raider. B)

Possibly even more fun was the 9,000 points battle that followed though. Too bad we couldn't finish it but I guess Rictus might've broken into tears if he kept rolling 1s and blowing up his own tanks for another 4 turns. :P

Games Day itself was absolutely awesome, so many great models and terrain boards on display, it really is handy to be tall when you want to look at the Golden Daemon entries. Meeting many great people like SC, little Dave, Catferret, Asmodai and loads of others was awesome. Getting to see some of the new Orks and other yet-to-be-released models in the flesh was really neat, I have totally fallen in love with the new plastic Dragon and Cold Ones for Fantasy, must get some and stick Marines on them!

Well anyway, as I said, an awesome weekend, meeting old friends with new faces, and even catching both my flights. Loved it!

Well you and Peter were model guests, you didn't touch my beer! :P

Can't say I met a site member I didn't like (I avoided those tossers, ay DD).

Hope to catch up with soon, tho, eat man eat! :D

Aye!

And Hive,

I'm thinking of setting up a redcross parcel service to Holland!

Great to meet you mate!

Hi guys..

It was great to meet you all, and to see your wonderful entries into the competition..

Rictus.. dont say you cannot paint.. your landraider was great...

Jase your command tank was even larger that I had suspected.. sometimes it is difficult to get a scale of a model just from looking at photograhs..

Well done to you all, just a pity that none made it through to the final round..

I thought that 'Games day' was one of the best that they have had for quite a few years.. there were lots of amzing 'new' models to see. I loved the new orcs -especially the trul and bikes.. but for me the star of the show had to be the Reaver Titan..

Nice to be able to put a face to everyone,

Best wishes,

Carl

Evening all.

Selection of pics from yesterday.

New stuff:





Apoc:

ORKSES....







Lots more pictures.

PS: yes my t-shirt did hav emy avatar on, though I would like to point out I did not have a t-shirt made with the avatar on, my avatar and tattoo came form the t-shirt. Or rather the t-shirt got it form the same place.

Long Live The Wildhearts.

Just wanted to say it was great meeting all you nerdles at GD. Was astonished and suprised to find rictus a LOT less forthcoming with comments to my face than he is on msn and these forums! :rolleyes: I must say i felt like the only normal person on planet 'strange', and looking around the NEC, i couldnt quite believe it could hold quite so many weird people.
I'd like to say i found the whole experience an uplifting, exciting, and eyeopening event, but then i'd be talking as much bullshit as rictus does! :P
I do think i handled myself with dignity, and didnt let it be known what i REALLY thort about having to be there. Im sure anyone looking at me would of assumed i was having a great time!!!
Must admit it was nice meeting you all, and im still reeling from the fact that 1 or 2 of you actually looked 'normal', but i still swear hedley hired an actor to go in his place. No one that looks like that could possibly be a total nerd!!!
Altho it kills me to say it, the painting and modelling standard from you lot was incredible (and yes i was dragged round and made to look at each and every piece!) <_<
Anyway, a big WELL DONE to you all, even if i still think your all weird, nerdy, freaky, sad......mumble

You're just afraid because you know in your heart that you're just as bad as the rest of us; accept your true nature! :P
