Units Going to GenCon

[Revdyer]

I'm certainly not going to reveal my GenCon armies (I'm in some Damnation Alley events, the main tournament, and Heat of the Battle), and I don't want you too either. But, if you are going to Gencon and are not (as I am not) taking your whole collection to Indianapolis, which units are you trucking up there (not necessarily that you will play everyone you cart around)?

I'm taking:

Mimring
Zelrig
Shades of Bleakwood
10th Regiment of Foot
Deathreavers
Eldgrim
Marro Stingers
Isamu
Sentinels of Jandar

...and that's about it. Lots of possibilities, there, of course; but only nine different units.

So, I challenge you...who are you packing?

[Hahnarama]

My entire collection.

[Onacara]

Last night I tried to pack ther whole collection and realized that I was being ridiculous. (It all fits but the bag is stuffed and there is no room for goodies to come back.

I will probably bring enough to make 2 armies for each event I am in but do not see it being anymore than fits in the Spider Box.

[Grungebob]

I'm still deciding, but I am leaning toward 4 days of undead!

[Revdyer]

My entire collection.I thought about doing that, but then discovered that Sir Dupuis would have to drive. <grin>

[Onacara]

My entire collection.I thought about doing that, but then discovered that Sir Dupuis would have to drive. <grin>


And thats not good because he has that pimp glass in his hand at all times. You could get pulled over by one of them good ole boys in the midwest.

[Jim]

My entire collection.I thought about doing that, but then discovered that Sir Dupuis would have to drive. <grin>

And you drive a standard, and Dupuis can't drive that, so I'll be doing the driving.

What were we talking about again?

:D

Jim

[scottishlad5]

It could be me! I am in the midwest,"sir you were speeding as a penalty you'll have to take me to GenCon."

[Revdyer]

:D

JimWe were talking about what a nice guy I am to lend my car to a couple of idiots for GenCon and how no one else has guts enough actually to list what HeroScape units they are going to bring to Indianapolis. <grin>

[Onacara]

It could be me! I am in the midwest,"sir you were speeding as a penalty you'll have to take me to GenCon."

You going to pull him over on your Big Wheel?

[scottishlad5]

Oh yeah! me and my whole big wheel gang!

[Revdyer]

OK, now I've changed my mind. I'm taking:

Dund
Marro Drudges
Nagrubs
Dund
New Raelin
Marro Drones
Dund
That 20 point elf girl
Dund
Obsidian Guards
Dutze-tootzes
and Dund

[scottishlad5]

Dude why didn't you take Dund?

[lonewolf]

We were talking about what a nice guy I am to lend my car to a couple of idiots for GenCon and how no one else has guts enough actually to list what HeroScape units they are going to bring to Indianapolis. <grin>

I would have posted, but I'm brining the whole lot....minus a couple of the large figures that don't fit.

:)

[Jim]

I can't tell you what I'm bringing because I haven't even begun to think about it yet.

:)Geez-louise...that means 7,000 Gladiatons and half as many Blastatrons.

[southwest ninja]

Im going to try to get by with just wave 8 and 8.5. hmmmm might throw RotV in as well.

[Dennys]

Onacara, Ryder just called and the 55' Tractor/Trailer combo you requested is booked, so they're sending a 40' straight truck instead.

[lonewolf]

Geez-louise...that means 7,000 Gladiatons and half as many Blastatrons.

I have a bag that looks a lot like this:
http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/02/40/99/23/0002409923336_150X150.jpg
That I can carry on to the plane. I have to bring figures for three different people to be in 6 tournaments each. (Equals lots of figures)

It actually says on the packaging that it will hold up to 8000 Gladiatrons, but I think it was a typo! :)

[MattserTruckRally]

Jim

[Retlaw]

...Medusa Lady (I can't remember her name!)

Uh, that would be Sudema (except for the placement of the "a" it is Medusa spelled backward).

[Cleon]

Since I do not yet know what armies I am taking... I am pondering bringing them all...


(The bag on left, not taking the terrain case)
http://s88452779.onlinehome.us/HeroScape/Photos/Storage.jpg

[Snoop Greyjoy]

I picked up a Fatmax and will be carrying everything with me:

http://toolmonger.com/2008/02/01/fatmax-mobile-work-station/

This holds everything I have and is easy to lug around. It's surprisingly light too.

[robbdaman]

I'll be bringing enough to fill my backpack, probably enough to make about 4 armies for each even I am in. I have lists of what I want to use, some require odd but fun combos for the win a waves and whatever pick up games I may play.

R~

[theGuru]

And you drive a standard, and Dupuis can't drive that, so I'll be doing the driving.

Jim

I beg your pardon!?

I'm still figuring out my armies, but i'll be bringing ONLY those figures. I won't bring any extras to save from the pre-tournament "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO CHANGE MY ARMY!" freakouts

[Revdyer]

Guess who gets to stay home. :)

Laglor?
Taelord, too; 'cause he eats too much for travel.

[Cleon]

I'm using "Jammers" card carriers for my figures, I use them for my whole collection (they work great). My dad and I each will have one, and I don't know the brand name for the box our large figures will go in. :confused:

[rym]

Geez-louise...that means 7,000 Gladiatons and half as many Blastatrons.

Hey lonewolf, it is I, rym the nonGenConite, and I have a question for you. (sorry to invade you guys' thread, but...) What kind of bag is that and where did you get it? That seems perfect for carrying figures as I use those same Plano boxes (at least, it looks like they're Plano's in your picture).

Oh, and good luck. :)

[Onacara]

Considering there is a Plano logo on the bag I would say they are Plano boxes inside. I think they sell that bag or one like it at Walmart.

[scottishlad5]

Whats so bad about Walmart? I find discount scape there all the time.

[Onacara]

1- Who said there was anything wrong with Walmart?
2-Since you are not a unit going to GenCon why are you posting here? :p

[scottishlad5]

1. It just sounded like that...
2. I'll go to GenCon someday just you watch I'll be the best! *curtain closes and play ends* ok, but seriously I'll stop..

[lonewolf]

I got it at Walmart...it was $45. It looks like the one I had the picture for, but the one I have is bigger and the Plano boxes go in the other way. It holds 6 full size Plano's in it. It is great for Gamedays and tournaments.

[Clarissimus]

Even if I have all my armies planned out before I leave (which I won't), I'd still bring all my figures. You never know if Cover Fire ends up giving a bonus to Roman Archers or something.

[playa1]

Cover Fire: All figures that you haven't played in over a year because they simply don't compete well (i.e. Roman Archers) gain a +6 attack and +7 defense when you jangle your Agent Skahen figure in your opponent's face and scream "Cover Fire, Bee-Otch!"

[Taeblewalker]

For the 520 point army, I am going to bring:

Raelin
Major Q10
Zetacron
4 x Marro Drones

Isamu


For the 450 point General army, I am going to bring an Utgar army:

Ornak
Brunak
Me-Burq-Sa
2x Blade Gruts
Iskra Esenwein
Rechets of Bogden
Isamu

My Marvel Power of One army will be a Red Skull army!

[Jim]

And you drive a standard, and Dupuis can't drive that, so I'll be doing the driving.

Jim

I beg your pardon!?

Hey, it sounded good! :D (Who says I wasn't talking about the figure??)

Jim

[CupidsArt]

Zetacron
4th Mass
Knights
Finn

[Rÿchean]

[Revdyer]

"all the cowboys"

Does that include the Lawman too?
<laughing at the lack of hints in the list>

[Rÿchean]

of course: DED, Murphy, Sullivan, & Guilty....

lack of hints? I think there is simply too many hints! ;-)

The skinny is that I have a travel case that is always stocked with the extra uniques I have. So I am just adding the additional uniques and commons I want to have at my disposal. Also, I plan on doing after hours gaming and pick up games too. I don't want to be married to a restricted set of armies I can play. Trust me, the armies I am considering playing have been posted in various other threads.

~Rychean - who will be content to have his backside handed to him all week long!

[Revdyer]

Well, Ry, you know my style: find the very best army ever and go with that. I'm still working on it though. Every time I get the scissors right, that rock comes along and then I switch to paper and sheesh! It's going to take me another thirty years to get this right.

I am really struggling with that this year(still!). Last year I was very confident with the army I was brining to the main event. This year, I got nothing! I keep finding the same scissors and rock that you keep finding. :(

I have something picked out for all of the other events, but nothing here. :(

[Taeblewalker]

Aw, heck. Since I'm driving anyway, I may as well bring all of my figures. But I'm still planning on using the armies I posted earlier.

If anyone needs to borrow some extra figs for their army, let me know. I have at least three of most commons.

You can count me in as a willing opponent, but I'm not sure I'll be the fodder, :D

I'm sure you realize that there is no perfect army. We all drive ourselves crazy thinking that we'll come up with one (which is also ironically what makes the game so damned enjoyable). There's competitive ones and not-so competitive ones, but no perfect one.

What I've decided is that I just have to go with the units I enjoy playing. That way, win or lose, I'll have fun!

Oh, and this means I'll be bringing all of my shades, my old-school elves, most of my dragons, orcs, all of ROTV, snipers, and yes -- even Dund (no joking). I'll probably bring everything, but I'll be double checking for these.

[Agent of Vydar]

The best strategy I've heard!

[Onacara]

Ok I got everything down to the spider box and 3 small tackle trays that fit into my bag of holding.

[Revdyer]

I'm sure you realize that there is no perfect army. What!?! There's no best army ever? Woe is me! My whole approach to the game has been misguided. I am covered in rue. <grin>

[CupidsArt]

[MattserTruckRally]

I've always felt the 'best' army ever was the army that you could pilot with your eyes closed. :)

Sidenote: One week until Gencon!

[killercactus]

I only know one thing about the best army ever - it has Runa in it. :D

[Onacara]

I only know one thing about the best army ever - it has Runa in it. :D


Oxymoron?

[killercactus]

I only know one thing about the best army ever - it has Runa in it. :D


Oxymoron?

Probably about as close as you get to one.

[Eirikr]

I am bringing my whole collection a well I think. I can't seem to come up with an army I like for the Championship event. Like the Rev., I keep going in circles around a variety of armies and I can't seem to settle. The one I have enjoyed the most lately is the kind of army likely to receive eye rolls and groans (a very obvious, annoying, all A+ type figures that people don't like to play against.) Admittedly it is not the perfect army, not a big win army, but a very difficult army to beet.

[Jexik]

I still don't have much of a clue. I've helped other people come up with their armies, but I've only got my Jumpstart and Battle over Cursed Lands armies 100% finalized. I'm down to about 2-3 choices in all of the other events though.

[Rÿchean]

I usually don't finalize my decision until the night before the big event; this is one of the reasons I bring so many units with me. BTW, I had to add some 4th Mass, Marcus, and Romans to my gencon case.

[Grungebob]

Don't worry so much about that in the championship. I doubt you'll see much eye rolling. A+ units will see much play in the championship. At the ticket price for this event, you will mostly have very competitive minded folks who understand the A+ units and how to beat them as well.

[theGuru]

Before I was able to finalize my army... it got trounced. then I had 2nd thoughts, and 3rd and 4th thoughts.

I currently have 4 potential Championship armies. Oye. My bag keeps getting bigger.

[Fallen Templar]

Zelrig
KMA
10th Reg. of Foot
Roman Legionaires
Marcus Decimus Gallus
Elf Wizards
Raelin

[Rÿchean]

With all the units I am taking to gencon, I got my fist real chance to effectively use my travel case for figure and cards, here are some pics.

My Travelscape case:

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/gallery/files/4/8/gencon_case_1.jpg
Easy carrying.

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/gallery/files/4/8/gencon_case_2.jpg
yes, it is a make up or beauty case :-|

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/gallery/files/4/8/gencon_case_3.jpg
Trays pull out to large lower area. Trays can hold 25-30 small or medium figures each or more. The top trays have compartment bottoms from a standard size hobby box sitting in them

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/gallery/files/4/8/ample_storage_below.jpg
The lower area holds many items, including large and huge figures. The trays are deep enough to hold small hobby boxes for markers and dice. MBS fits nicely in the tray.

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/gallery/files/4/8/cards_in_card_box.jpg
This resurfaced cell phone box, holds all the cards.

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/gallery/files/4/8/small_hobby_box_fits_in_side.jpg
Another standard size hobby box for more small and medium figures.

Meticulous compact storage; just my speed. I like this case so much I am thinking of getting another.

[Onacara]

That case is awesome Ry...where did you get it?

[Rÿchean]

I got it at Walgreen's.

[Onacara]

I got it at Walgreen's.


Wow...really?? Looks like I have to get over there and see if I can find one. It looks like the perfect box for customs making supplies.

[Hahnarama]

I got it at Walgreen's.


Oh how cute Ry bought himself a make up case! :p

[southwest ninja]

I got it at Walgreen's.


Oh how cute Ry bought himself a make up case! :pWell how else do you expect him to compete with your good looks????¿

[CupidsArt]

I got it at Walgreen's.


Oh how cute Ry bought himself a make up case! :pWell how else do you expect him to compete with your good looks????¿

A nice Brown Lager, :shrug:

[Cleon]

I'm using 2 "Jammers Quality Cases (for cards)" for my Large and under figures and a different, more basic box for my Huge figures. I still have to pack the dice and order markers and such though. :|

[Onacara]

I got it at Walgreen's.


Oh how cute Ry bought himself a make up case! :pWell how else do you expect him to compete with your good looks????¿

27 Brown Lagers, :shrug:


fixed :thumbsup:

[Grungebob]

Update: I'm no longer bringing out the dead.

[Cleon]

Going out the door soon, see you all there!!! :gencon:
