Day by Day Rundown - what we provide

2012-01-27T18:00:00.000Z

Hi all,

This post is designed to give all viewers of the site a good run down of what they can expect on every gaming night of the week. We have permanently set up, a small growing shop, 20 gaming tables, comfy seating spaces for role-players, A small area to purchase snacks and drinks, support from all of the local gamers in a number of ways for a number of systems.

There are specific groups using the area on some days of the week but we all agree that the environment is designed to provide a space for any gamer to any product or game on any night that we are open.

We promote the gaming of Historical games, GW games, any other Sci-Fi or Fantasy games, Card games, Role-playing, Board games, Warmachine, Hordes, Flames of War, any others you can think of. These can be played on any night at any point. Please come down and give it a go or come and meet some more gamers and try some new games.

So here we are, this is a rundown of what happens in Hulls Angels on certain days of the week.

Tuesday: This is Vague night. A fantastic group of role-players who will take any person on a fantastic trip in a role-playing way. You can also play any game you want on the evening and will be supported in this at all times by the Vague group.

Wednesday: A generally gaming evening that concentrates mainly on Warmachine and Hordes along with a large general group of people who just come down to meet someone to play a game. We are building this night to have more modellers and gamers here whenever possible.

Thursday: Big night of the week. This seems to be our most busy session where everyone comes down to just try new opponents or play part of a campaign etcetera. We play most games on this night and everyone seems to really enjoy it.

Saturday: This is Vague and Hulls Angels day. Mainly based round group games so for large table games it’s about a campaign or for role-play it’s based on planned and well written stories for any interested player. You can also come down and just play a game on a Saturday and we support people doing this as often as possible.

Sunday: A real weekend enjoyment time for the members just come down and have some relaxation time or play a game previously organised on the forum or with a friend. Play anything at any point on a weekend.

So there is information on every day that we open if you have any questions then please email me on ross@hulls-angels.co.uk or join us on our forum which is http://hullsangels.freeforums.org/index.php

It will be great to see you down at the club. You can get our contacts on the contact section of this site. Come down and have a look.

Thanks

Hi all,

On the 19th of November we will be runing a slightly different tournament than we normally do. As we are running towards the end of the year and a short shutdown we thought we would bring two of the clubs favorite games togetherand allow people to come down adn play a tournament as we know how to run.

So We have the standard 40K tournamnet runnning during the day at £10 a head for entrance encouraging you all to come down and wipe tabeles all across the new 20 that we have set up permentanly.

We will also have an opportunity for the people who are interested in Flames Of War to come down and use their own armies to see who is going to get to hitlers front door or try the game for the first time by joining in using borrowed forces with support from the experts. The price is still £10 but its a great games to get into

Hope you are all interested The pack will be up in the next day.

Tale of all gamers - 40K

2011-05-22T18:10:00.002+01:00

The Sack of Okaous

From a report commissioned by Inquisitor CLASSIFIED
The Okaous System is a useful system, notable for the range of raw materials it can produce, primarily on the large number of small planetoids scattered around the system. Originally settled by the Imperium in the years following the Horus Heresy it remained a valuable possession until approximately 340 years ago when a flurry of Warp storms cut off the major access routes, some Rogue Traders claim to have known others who found routes but no true evidence could be collected on this matter.

It is impossible to say how much is still remembered of the Emperor and how much guidance by be required to restore the people of these worlds, nor what military capability they may still have to resist Xenos or Heretical encroachment. As such it is my recommendation that loyal forces be mustered to help protect these lands and any personnel the Ecclesiarchy or other official arms finds the need to dispatch.

Recommendation accepted with full authority.
The Emperor's Will be done.

Welcome then to the first joint campaign between Hulls Angels and Vague, the rules are as follows. (Apologies for the wall of text - the map will break it up a bit)

The first round is 500 points, armies will need to have 1 HQ, at least 1 Troops choice and no more than one choice from each of Elites, Fast Attack and Heavy Support.

The standard Force Organisation charts will be used from 750pts upward, in total you will be going up to 1750pts at 250 point intervals each month.

All models must have 3 colours minimum to classify as painted.

Rounds will last a fortnight, as each round in the Tale of Many Painters is a month long that means there will be two turns at each points value.

You can change your army list freely at each new round of the Battle campaign, as long as all models are painted to the Tales standards.

Each Faction will have a designated Home base where their primary HQ lies, this territory may not be attacked by anyone until armies have reached 1250 points in size as these location are of great significance to their defenders and are guarded accordingly.

Terrain deployed on the table will be based on the area of the map the battle is fought within – i.e. plains will be mostly flat and open, forests will have extra trees etc.

Players may challenge any other player, should they win then they can take a currently unoccupied node or node of that opponent. The Node you claim must be adjacent to an already occupied node of yours, nodes cannot be used to attack from during the turn they are captured.

No Special Characters are allowed, this includes unit champions such as the Changeling

Finally the most vital rule - Have fun!

This thread is to be used only for people signing up or for me or John to post results, the existing thread can be used for other discussion, including any questions or concerns you have with the rules.

Can people state whether they want to join the full campaign, just the battles or just the painting and which army they intend to use, once I have a good idea how many people are involved then I can put up a map.

Current List
Mike - Dark Eldar
Mart - Unknown Army
Dan - Marines
Slightly Smaller Dan - Chaos Marines
James - Guard
Gonzo - Chaos Marines
Rocco - Eldar

First 500 points must be ready by the 21st of July, good luck.

Tale of al gamers - Warhammer

2011-05-22T18:05:00.001+01:00

The legend of Lisuia.

Brutal storms have wracked the seas and coasts of the North-western Empire for weeks but now as they subside the sight they reveal is hardly less earth-shaking. A previously unknown island has emerged from beneath the waves, smoothly dubbed Lisuia by an enterprising Imperial Scholar turmoil has quickly followed the appearance, though if anyone understands the origin of the new land then they are keeping their counsel. Nevertheless within a week sailors all over the lands are claiming to have visited Lisuia telling tales of wonder. Expeditions are forming, drawn by promises of glory, wealth and power. Some more knowledgeable heads even whisper of darker reasons to conquer the island, for who knows what secrets may be buried from the past or what great power allowed the land itself to rise.

Welcome then to the first joint campaign between Hulls Angels and Vague, the rules are as follows. (Apologies for the wall of text - the map will break it up a bit)

The first round is 500 points and the restrictions on army composition are that no monsters, Lords or large uniques such as the Doomwheel may be chosen. Armies must include at least one Hero and one Core unit, any model may be declared the Army General and the percentage system is waived.

The correct percentages will be used from 1000pts upward, in total you will be going up to 3000pts at 500 point intervals each month.

You can change your army list freely at each new round of the Battle campaign, as long as all models are painted to the Tales standards.

All models must have 3 colours minimum to classify as painted.

Rounds will last a fortnight, as each round in the Tale of Many Painters is a month long that means there will be two turns at each points value.

Each Faction will have a designated Home city where they first arrive on the island, this territory may not be attacked by anyone until armies have reached 2K points in size as no commander is foolish enough not to leave a significant amount of troops to guard their only supply line.

Most of the map will be concealed initially as it has not yet been explored, there may very well be more unusual locales still concealed deeper inside Lisuia.

Terrain deployed on the table will be based on the area of the map the battle is fought within – i.e. plains will be mostly flat and open, forests will have extra trees etc.

Terrain will use the Mysterious Terrain rules only on the roll of a 1 per piece unless defined otherwise by the GM.

Players may challenge any other player, should they win then they can take a currently unoccupied node or node of that opponent. The Node you claim must be adjacent to an already occupied node of yours, nodes cannot be used to attack from during the turn they are captured.

No Special Characters are allowed, this includes unit champions such as the Changeling

Finally the most vital rule - Have fun!

This thread is to be used only for people signing up or for me or Jo to post results, the existing thread can be used for other discussion, including any questions or concerns you have with the rules.

Can people state whether they want to join the full campaign, just the battles or just the painting and which army they intend to use, once I have a good idea how many people are involved then I can put up a map.

Current List
Faileas - Unknown Army
Shane - Warriors of Chaos
Csjarret - Unknown Army
Nethrag - Unknown Army
Rocco - Dark Elves
Gonzo - Daemons
Sandinista - Unknown Army
James - Dwarfs
Dan - Tomb Kings
Other Dan - Warriors of Chaos

First 500 points must be ready by the 21st of July, good luck.

Weekly Warmachine Wednesdays Write Up

We thought we'd bring you an update two weeks into the new weekly warmachine wednesdays club night. The first two club nights (and unofficial nights in the build up) have been immensley enjoyable and the attendance has been slowly growing.

Warmachine is a very different proposition to many of the more familiar games down at the club and these early weeks are helping provide experience and instruction for the new players whilst also bringing new challenges and helping introduce players from the area that have been playing for a long time.

The next night is going to be held on Wednesday the 18th and we look forward to seeing you down at the club.

Also a huge thanks must go out to those players who have attended the nights so far - their help and support has helped greatly and will continue to ensure the growth of Warmachine in the area.

Thanks
