Ah, the old "so what are you taking?" thread. Time honoured way of sussing out how many dwarf coaches there are before you paint your 'zons

For me you can expect the return of the Red Guard Rats, possibly the Sydney Institute of Necromancy, or maybe even the Tarranto Bluetongues if they get painted in time.

I could yet field the Teutonorc Twats (Varag is tempting) or maybe even break out the P-Funk All Stars for a bit of funky Woodelf Action.

I haven't really decided

When do the tickets go on sale again?

Tickets on sale this saturday.
If I finally choose lizards, don't worry how many dwarfs will come... they won't be near my skinks.

Definitely taking Undead, particularly as it may be the last chance to use them in official capacity before next years review.

I'd have liked to stick with Helfs, but I think it'd take a better coach than me to compete with them in a 1 mill Star player enviroment. Prince Moron?
I think not.
After last year I said I wouldn't do it, but we could yet see the return of Luthor and the all conquering Desolators (with improved paint to prevent JJ stitching me up blind!

).
The Morg and Varag orc line-up could cause some serious problems.
Horrid to come up against. I'm really undecided whether to gamble with a low FF.

Well if star players are included then serious consideration will have to be given to Humans,Orcs and Undead, as i think without a shadow of a doubt the best combination of star players are here ( Morg/Varag/Griff/Count whatshisface) Just remebered The Count used to be able to be hired by a human side, is that still the case??

Just checked he most certainly is

Also i can concoct a chaos dwarf Side with Hthark, Gnashrack & A Bull Centaur, with 2 re-rolls and FF2

1 million and star players allowed a permanent members of rosters.

Well lets give the elves a chance why don't we? I'll definately be taking Orcs if thats the rules.

Ah man..... I wish I could go

But unfortunately the cost of getting to Nottingham from Johannesburg is just a bit too steep. And chances are I will be in Oz at the time anyhow...

I do still harbour some thoughts of sneaking off for a week to attend however... I wonder if anyone would notice I was gone?

What are you all doing for accomodation?

Mocaiv · Post by **Mocaiv** » Wed Nov 27, 2002 2:02 pm

I only live a hour from Nottingham, so it would be rude not to go.

I have not decided on my team yet, but it will be Orcs, Undead or maybe Human.

I will go (with my girlifriend who doesn't play) together with Norse (whose computer is offline for a long time now) and Niels (somebody who reads here but doesn't post).

So the Dutch will invade England once more

Lucy, Who'll play undead (BORING!!), Norse might be playing Norse but might run back to dwarves and Niels........probably Skaven

Lucy

Marcus · Post by **Marcus** » Wed Nov 27, 2002 5:28 pm

and my draw for the BB will be:

Round one - Longfang... again
Round two - Norse, who will roll a pitch invasion first turn, laugh "take that you spawny git!" and proceed to hammer the sh*t out of me
Round three - Lucy, who will grin evilly and pick over what meat is left on my bones after Norse is through with me

It's going to happen, it really is.
