Skirmish at Coffa Tree 4 - 28/07/2019

[Jonathon Chester]

Well it’s that time of year chaps and chapettes!

Skirmish at Coffa Tree is now booked and ready for entrants.

Sadly we couldn’t sort the venue for a two day event despite my attempts but the last three one day events have been a success so let’s keep up the fine tradition.

The player pack can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ao3wqeiunxaw2qu/Skirmish%20at%20Coffa%20Tree%20Player%20Pack.pdf?dl=0

If we hit the 18 player cap I can look at increasing the capacity.

Also we have an event page on facebook if people are interested: https://www.facebook.com/events/835056053494474/

Look forward to seeing you all there!

The true north/south divide is that of Anglo-Danish Danelaw and Saxon southern softy shandy drinking softies.

The true definition of a northerner is someone who looks at anyone from the south and thinks ‘pussy’ when there’s a foot of snow and the southerner is wrapped up. All the while wearing a string vest.

As an Englishman who grew up in Dumfries & Galloway, one of the funniest moments in my life was seeing a Glaswegian describe some of my Scottish mates as southerners. Almost died laughing. They were slightly less amused.

Also can you my name down to attend for your fine event please Mr Chester. I am entirely omnivorous though may be doing a down and backer in a day from Carlisle so will request a vat of very strong coffee thank you please.

[Brightblade]

Better write my name in permanent marker on that wooden spoon now as that baby is coming home with me...

I'll look at getting a vat on hand

[Medivo]

Jon, I need to inform you of my special dietry requirements....

Rhubarb and custard's are mandatory, sandwiches are out of the question, as I can only eat pizza!

No rubbish coffee either, it'd better be the expensive stuff!

[Dayle12]

I'll be in attendance this year
Will pay after the 20th,

[Jonathon Chester]

Hi Dayle,

No worries look forward to seeing you there.

[Grizzle]

I'm in for this!

[Brightblade]

Question: Are we going to be able to play by Proxy, or are we limited to what we physically have to construct a muster?

[Jonathon Chester]

I'm going to say you are fine to have a conversion based on a mierce model as the core of the model but no proxies to help avoid confusion.

If however you have a unit upgrade for example the wolf claws upgrade for waelwulfs, not having these on these is ok as long as you are either consistent across an army, or only have one unit with the upgrade represented by something very obvious.

So say I wanted to include some Anglecynn Ceorl warriors in my Muster but the models haven't been released yet I could use Anglecynn Gesith Warriors instead?

What about if I wanted to substitute Ceorl warriors for Baalor warrriors from the Fomoraic kindred, would that be acceptable?

What about if I wanted to substitute Bowmen for Spearmen, but play them as Bowmen?

[Jonathon Chester]

This sounds like proxying to me

[Brightblade]

So what your basically saying is that if it hasn't been released as a Retail Miniature then you cannot include it in your Kindreds muster? Is this correct..

[Jonathon Chester]

No, conversions are fine. It’s to avoid confusion as visually spearmen in your example don’t really look like bowmen, where as armour upgrades are fine as not every model has a representation of all of those.

[Jonathon Chester]

Up to 10 players now matching last year!

This is great to see and hopefully some lurkers out there are looking to sign up and we can smash the player numbers!

[Jonathon Chester]

Still plenty of spaces left for you lurkers

[Crazyguy501]

Still plenty of spaces left for you lurkers

Get me down as 11th player attending. Besides Hugh will need company to keep him awake/sane to Carlisle and back.

Woot! Now you just have to see if Paul can come and it will be a full car

[Jonathon Chester]

So after a cracking day at Salute on Saturday, how many people are using models they bought at Skirmish?

[Brightblade]

So after a cracking day at Salute on Saturday, how many people are using models they bought at Skirmish?

I've bought some Erainn on the Salute Offer, I may very well Muster those at Coffa Tree, but am presently undecided, with 5 different Kindreds to choose from I'm spolit for choice...

[Jonathon Chester]

Choice is both a blessing and a curse

[Brightblade]

Choice is both a blessing and a curse

Tell me about, spend most of my time trying to construct Musteres for each Kindred and devise new ways of Losing less terribly...

[Jonathon Chester]

Once new models arrive I will have 4 kindreds, one of which I dont think will be functional but will look cool

Indeed, I’ve still got plenty on order let alone painted or in the pile of shame

[demyse]

I mean for the event, not to euthanize or berate.

I will leave the berating for your podcast co-hosts

[Jonathon Chester]

If all the entrants could please send in their entry fee as soon as possible please that would be greatly appreciated, I can look at getting proper trophies this year with a bit of luck!

[Morray]

Just checking if I can get my two other mates to join in, may mean cramming the rules and getting more figs but I think we can do it.

That's good to hear, hopefully you can come down!

Hey if your short on Mini's to use, I have more than enough of Fomoraic, Anglecynn, and Atalantes, I havent yet decided what Muster I will play but I have enough across 4 Kindreds, got a large Erainn Order being processed as we speak , so will have 3 others that can be used.

If your interested let me know, and I'll send you a list of what Iv'e got and you can build a muster and I can bring along whatever Mini's your missing.

[Morray]

Oh shit that might be good mate. Ill speak to my friends see what they say as thats a game changer!

If we know the quik rules is that enough on the day?

[Jonathon Chester]

That will be enough for the basics but there will be the full book in use so there will be some rules you'll need to familiarise yourself with. My advice is get started with the quick play guide but look at the journeyman rules in the book as much as you can as these will help the most for your basic understanding.

However, we've had plenty of new people come to the event and many of our players would be happy to give a bit more of a walk through for you guys so hopefully you leave knowing more than you came with.

[Brightblade]

Just paid you Jon..
