BolsCon UK 2013 Tale of Four Gamers

[alshrive]

Hello All,

After having got everything back in order after a wedding and honeymoon I am finally getting around to finalising and organising the Tale of Four Gamers in preparation for BolsCon UK 2013! I have created a blog and hopefully participants will soon start putting things up. Please feel free to visit it @ http://bolsconto4g.blogspot.co.uk/

If anybody has any suggestions for this please feel free to reply to this thread. I am in the process of finalising the actual rules for this but will have them available and online very soon!

If you are interested in taking part please message me some details and I will get back to you ASAP.

BolSCON UK! Nothing to do with them nasty Yanks :P

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Wha?

[DrLove42]

Wha What?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

BolSCON UK! Nothing to do with them nasty Yanks :P

What does this mean?

[DrLove42]

The original post Al had just said BoLSCON. I was just confirming it was the UK version!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Looks like a UK to me...

[DrLove42]

It wasn't there originally :P

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Pfffffffffft.

[alshrive]

Congratulations go to DrLove42 for putting the first post of any content on the blog! for going to such lengths; 3 bonus points! yes we now have a scoreboard but no official scoring system!

[DrLove42]

So 3 points could be equal to "painted 1 model" or "painted 1500 points in a week!"

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Cheater.

[DrLove42]

Jealous

[alshrive]

ok guys let's hammer out a scoring system. suggestions! I am putting forward the first bit

5 Points will be awarded for each 350 point block completed in a month (over 5 months this will be the allotted 1750 army!)
Generals are to be painted by the end of November and a Bols Poll will decide who gets the bonus 5 points for awesome character!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Well, if I didn't waste two days sitting around waiting for wood... ON MY DAYS OFF.

That still annoys me, I had people coming over and everything.

Wait what?!?
1750? I thought it was 1500?!

[Night System]

I was going to do a blog then realised I wasn't part... I did sign up :,(

[DrLove42]

I assume the first month is October.

Can we also say Lists to be submitted roughly by New Year (gives time for DA release)

What Army are you doing Night System? We can add you up!

[alshrive]

I was going to do a blog then realised I wasn't part... I did sign up :,(
Night System sorry i missed you! I will add you now! PM me the details of your army etc now and i will get you up and running. if you ahve Blogger send me your e-mail address for it so i can make you an admin so you can sort your own stuff as it goes on.

[alshrive]

and yes the first official month is october. finalised lists to be submitted by New Years (there will be a point penalty for changing your list after this date!). TDA sorry apparently i have decided 1750 (more plastic soldiers for the plastic soldier god!)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Aaron should've titled it "Tale of X Gamers"

@alshrive - God f*cking damnit. I'd got settled with my 1500 points!
*grumbles to himself about skulls*

[DrLove42]

well 4 gamers is always the name. Even when theres more or less :P

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR THE FACT THAT I'VE BOUGHT ALL MY STUFF.
NOW I HAVE TO BUY MORE.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

[DrLove42]

LOL. Well make what you've got and fill the rest up with new codex stuff (lets face it some of what you've got will get cheaper in the new book)

[alshrive]

just add a land raider and voila! or add an allied contingent! or go crazy and just put a pair of socks on the gaming table and see if anybody questions you!

Night System my error has been rectified and you are now there!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Rassin' frassin' changes. Rassin' frassin' no notice...

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PAINT AN ARMY IN STAGES WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHEN MY NEW CODEX IS COMING OUT TO CHANGE MY ARMY LIST.

I'm in rant mode if you hadn't guessed.

[alshrive]

TDA consume a sedative capsule now!

250 points is easy enough, and as we have said, no final lists until end of dec.

just paint things that you will be taking no matter what until then (tactical Marines are a good choice!)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Still means that I have to buy more things.
Grrrrrrrrr.

[Psychosplodge]

Use allied Eldar, haven't you finished those?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

They now belong to someone else.

[Psychosplodge]

Doh.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'll sort it, don't you fret.

[fuzzbuket]

still not decided what army to do (IF or CSM) luckilly its my birthday in a week so i can decide then! :D

[DrLove42]

I would say IF as we already have 2 chaos, but thats only for the competitoon! you can collect whatever you want!


Ive posted a quick rough, rumiur and no codex list on the blog now. it will likely change when the book comes out

[alshrive]

in the same vain as DrLove42 I have now put a provisional army list up on the blog! go check it out and give me any idea's and feedback guys!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Oh look, it's Slender Man's retarded cousin! :p

Also, discussing army options in Haiku is definitely the way forward.

Updated blog again with my progress thus far. Check it out at

[Wolfshade]

It's looking good, but i don't like Fuzz's font ;)

[alshrive]

well we are each using the colour of our army as our font (allows people to distinguish between posters!)

[Wolfshade]

I realised that, it was more relating to a previous blog he had/has and got trolled for having the "wrong" font.

[alshrive]

ah ha! you didn't want to take part in a to4g did you wolfy?

[Wolfshade]

No thanks. I have no monies, and no painting skills

[alshrive]

I've seen enough Hentai to know where this is going...

Yeah, he could certainly work on his font selection...
