Original Post:
I already had this idea two years ago at EF16 when I met two guys who brought their WH40K armies to the con, but couldn't find anybody to play.
How about a table top evening / event (maybe even two days?).
Personally, I could bring my own Warhammer 40K army (Space Wolves) and a self-made gaming board (grass with rocky hills and snow) and some experience with the rules and painting jobs.
My questions are:
Is there still space in the schedule for this new event?
Who would attend and bring his/her army along? (For yourself of course, not for someone else)
Who could bring another gaming board (+ Terrain, Ruins etc.)?
How much space could we get for the boards? They're usually 6 plates with around 60x60" inch (so 180x120 inch) which need to be placed on tables.
Is somebody very trusted with the rules and could act as an supporter during the games or while playing yourself? I'm personally only a "beginner" (around 5-7 matches played).
If you're a warhammer (fantasy) or even Lord of the Rings player, would you guide and help the others? (I'm only common with WH40K)
Conclusion: There is only a room + several tables (depening on size) needed.
The cool thing is... very close to the Maritim Hotel (about 3 minutes maybe) there is a store which sells pretty much the same stock as a games workshop. So we could even support people with knowledge about Warhammer if they're interested in starting that hobby. I could event try speaking with the shopowners for some discount.
My own gaming board could be used for 1-8 players. I'd say 8 is maximum because that would mean 500 points per player, which is pretty boring. With more gaming boards, there can be bigger games with higher points.
I'm german, but I think I could explain some things in english as well.
If you can only provide armies with 500 or 750 points, we'll find a way to make that work as well.
So, what do you think?
Drift:
Hm, the biggest problem for me would be to bring my army(ies) to Magdeburg. Already, I got to much stuff/baggage that I want to bring, and the fur suit is more important than my modells. (And I got no car :( )
Furthermore, I do not know if I find the time for a game of table top, as it takes quite long to set up, explain, and play.
Appart from that, I could explain in English, and I am quite sure about the rules - I played WH40k for about 15 yrs now. (Which does not really count, as the rules change every couple of years ;) ).
Let us see if there are more people interested here...
Indigo Icetalons:
I think the biggest problem is that people who play warhammer (40K or fantasy) won't be bringing their armies along because they either can't due to travel or won't see this thread.
I for one, rarely check these forums, so it is total luck that I saw this thread. I could bring along either a 40K or fantasy army, but not both.
If you want to put some serious input into it (which I thihnk you should, I like the idea) you should ask EF to send a mail or tweet on twitter about this event and if people want to join. Also, I think it won't be a good event to run during the day as it takes up a lot of time (3 hours per match).
I have been in the hobby for a good share of my life so I can answer most rules queries.
if you need help, just let me know, preferably via mail.
Ryudar:
Thanks for the response!
First, I opened a similar Thread in the german furbase forums to reach some more people.
And yes, of course, it can be difficult to bring your army along if you have so much other stuff to bring along (for guys from the US even harder, because of costs etc.).
I'd say it's not a "must" to play, you can just come over and watch and talk...I think all of you guys know how fun and laugh it is to just talk about the hobby.
I'll try talk with some people /staff and ask for a solution.
My biggest fears for this event are, that actually no one is interested...or we get overwhelmed with people who'd like to play. xD
Oh and by the way...this is no tournament :P, it's just about fun! You can play with tournament army lists, but it's up to you if that's fun for you.
Drift:
Another thing which could be done: WH40k in 40 Minutes.
In case you do not know/can not remember: 40k40 was a special rule setting during the 3rd (or 4th?) version of WH40.000, which was introduced in an issue of the White Dwarf. It is quite simple: 400points each side, game ends after 40 mins., no model with more than 2HP, no vehical with an total amor value over 44.
These games are quick, you need few models and lesser terain. :)
