Shamikebab · 9 Jan 2013 at 12:17

I think I'd have to read the rules. Haven't played since...fourth edition maybe?

well I have not tried it myself yet, just read up about it because it sounded cool and would be pretty cool if the people in this thread could play each other

I plan on setting it up tonight or tomorrow night and giving it a whirl.

I will be doing the same, I would like to keep it as real as I can with what I have built at home, Just so I can use tactics at home in person with games I have with my friends - Which we dont play as much lol

I'm up for playing some vassal I'll get it installed this evening at some stage.

Be handy to try out new lists for free

clartymarty · 9 Jan 2013 at 13:34

Im trying to think of a second army to start so the thing above would be a good idea to try then.

I am stuck with a "good team" its between Imperial Guard or Tau lol

lordhughes · 9 Jan 2013 at 13:55

Hopefully this system lives up to our expectations

One post I read said its best to be on ts/skype/... when playing as its easier than typing, I do have a TS server people can use for games or we could just steam chat during the game. If anyone fancies organising a game add me on steam (lordhughes) or xfire (52ndflymo).

We could always use the ocuk Mumble server as well.

I'll install it tonight and have a read.

Ah kl, did not know there was one

Shamikebab · 9 Jan 2013 at 14:00

Yeah details are in the pc gaming, I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we used a room though

clartymarty · 9 Jan 2013 at 16:20

Tau OR Imperial Guard?

I want to do a good team but space marines are out because I have the Chaos

Arnt the Tau getting a upgrade?

lordhughes · 9 Jan 2013 at 16:26

I have heard rumours of a Tau upgrade in the works, Tau rock anyway all that pew pew.

clartymarty · 9 Jan 2013 at 16:26

I think I will go with the Tau mind, but not sure how to build them

Shamikebab · 9 Jan 2013 at 16:28

Surely Tau, they are the greater good

clartymarty · 9 Jan 2013 at 16:45

yeah Tau it is! just need to plan how I want to build the army once I have finished with my Chaos We tend to only have a 500pt game so it gives us some varity in who we want to go out on the battlefield.

lordhughes · 9 Jan 2013 at 19:09

Well vassal is simple to install

also observed some of a game.

Next step is to create some army lists and then organise for a game with someone

I will suggest that army lists are posted here before a game so others can see what we are playing, and that there are no glaring mistakes or people trying to sneak things in

Shamikebab · 9 Jan 2013 at 23:16

What are the current active army lists? Is it the 5th edition codex's or are their army lists in the main rulebook?

lordhughes · 9 Jan 2013 at 23:22

on vassal it looks to be 5th edition. need to grab a copy of the 5th edition chaos codex and rule book now.

clartymarty · 10 Jan 2013 at 09:23

Aw thats a shame, I thought I read summit about version 6. But this must be in beta lol

lordhughes · 10 Jan 2013 at 10:20

From what I can tell the 6th edition version is still in the works or its been broken of and being worked on by people from the community. trying to figure out if a 6th edition version works.

I dont think there is anything that would prevent you playing 6th edition rules except for maybe a few stat changes and 6th edition units not being available.

Shamikebab · 10 Jan 2013 at 10:25

Well someone make a decision so I can read the right rulebook

lordhughes · 10 Jan 2013 at 10:30

Shal we say 5th? just because then everything is available in vassal.
