Said I'd join in on a special event at my local GW on sat, massive Empire vs Skaven. Said I'd use the rat people ^_^

Any tips?

dont forget the magic phase
remove any artillery on the empire side early in the battle (take out its crew)
where possible, remove a man or two from each unit to reduce rank bonus when in CC
get flank/rear charges

their the more important ones i can think of at the moment :)

I think you get one rare choice for every 1000 points in fantasy so to have 5 steam tanks it must be 5000 a side at least... sheesh!

Yeah, that is normally, 1 rare choice for 1000 points. But I don't think that they will only run steam tanks for their rare choices. Their are some more tempting options, like a rocket launcher and such...

Heh...one of my girlfriends kittens had surgery, and she had to go to uni, and it HAS to have someone with it at all times to make sure it didn't somehow damage it's stitches and bleed out, my friend totally bailed on me because of his shrew of a girlfriend so I had to stay there. All day. With this kitten looking at me from inside it's head-cone like I was the biggest bastard on earth O.o Miaowing pathetically until I took the cone off only to catch it licking it's wound and having to but it back on to get stared at again.
My friend also took his laptop ^_^ and after being woken up at 7am, a few hours after i'd gone to sleep I didn't even have the energy to paint, so got stuck watching...you guessed it, midday television...on freeview, with a shite aerial in a notoriously bad reception area >_>
I've been stuck in my gf's flat for going on four days. No games, no laptop, no xbox. Just crappy tv and the empty promises of friends who kept saying they'd bring my codex to me, so at the very least I could make a new army list. I not only missed the fantasy game, but my weekly weekend game.
I finally escaped for an hour yesterday, got my codex, saw a deer (next to an estate) got lost, and stared at by a horse, which I then fed.

Short version...I couldn't go and I'm [tinkle]ed off *twitch* O.o In lighter news my gf's wireless router was delivered today ^_^ and the cats can now be left alone for short periods of time as long as they're seperated...which is good...because I need to go to a funeral on tuesday, (which means I'll also miss my weekly week game).
