I can bring 1500-2k+ of my Eldar, I'd really like to focus on my 1500-1750 lists if anyone is interested in playing that.

Hey Everyone,

The church hall is free and I get the final ok on monday for the 23rd.

I think it would be awesome if qballony could look into using space at Martyrs for future dates if we can't get the hall at MBCC. Connor and I actually plan on going to the LA Bunker this Saturday to check it out. I went there right when it opened and they seemed to still have a lot of stuff packed up. Hoping that its more "finished" in there as it might be a good option for met ups. I will try and get there on the 9th to to meet up with some of you folks.

Zynk and qballony do you guys live in the south bay? If you ever are looking for a quick game some night we have a group of around five guys who play and we are always looking for more people. Maybe if you meet us at one of the game nights and we don't freak you out you can come and play some with us?

I will be there in around 11:30. My army is Dark Angel's (although I will be playing with codex space marines) and I am pretty sure Connor will be playing Chaos SM. Feel free to just come up to us and say hi or something.

I'm going to try to make it to the Bunker for a game Saturday. If I do, I'll be bringing my Iyanden Army, which is pretty fluffy, so looking for a fluffy game.

Wanted to share this in case anyone wants to give 'em a try:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/556045.page#6155584

Four new missions which include secret mission cards. These are not incredibly complex missions, they are more so additional basic missions. Played them all with a group last weekend and they ran pretty smoothly.

If the formatting of the cards doesn't translate well to your pc, pm me and i'll provide a .pdf.

UPDATE: We are officially booked for the 23rd at 1:00 pm time midnight. I will try to keep the thread bumped so that people notice.

Connor and I will be at the LA Bunker in Lakewood tomorrow and I would be down to try some new missions and I am pretty sure Connor is as well. We should get there around 12:30ish.

Also I have started painting tyranids and might be starting a horde army...

Hey guys,
Has anybody heard of a place called meltdown comics ? Its in hollywood on sunset. Its a large comic book store with a large area in the back. Its usually open really late too until atleast 11pm. A brave soul out the there should inquire about allowing a gaming night. I would do it but I'm scared of rejection, uncarismatic and ironically shy :-(. There number is 323-851-7223

Who else is planning on going?

Xeno will definitely help you get an Epic game in, Frenrik - he's got an Epic group onboard for that Saturday.

I'm so pumped for next weekend! Both painted armies will be ready to rock, and my Iyanden will be in a new case so as to avoid my current case shenanigans. The Iyanden build is a bit fluffy (especially compared to how mean Necrons can be) - so bring some fluffy or semi-fluffy builds folks! Or not, Wraithguard are fearless!

I have been working pretty hard on my tyranids, I think I will have 500 points painted by Saturday! Not sure if I will be able to keep up this pace, but I hope to get at least ten guants done a week until the new Codex drops, then figure out what I need to fill in the gaps.

Hey Goat, will you be running your Tyranid task force? Just curious! Also, are we good on tables? Sounds like well have a pretty solid showing this time around and not sure that Yak will be in attendance with his awesome throwback board.

Hey All, cant wait till the 23rd, ill be there and can bring my table and terrain, and an additional box of terrain if needed ( goat let me know ) ill have wolves and crons. and its looking like 1or 2 of the guys will be with me as well.
Thockt, cant wait to see the new eldar!
Goat if Jes comes with me he will have my nids so i may be able to loan some extra models to ya if needed, i dont think he runs everything i have in his list.

Thanks bloodfist, not to be an ass but I kind of just want to see the models I have been working on in action, maybe once the new Codex drops I will take you up on that offer to fill in my roster.

With bloodfist's table we will have 3 tables + the mat. If anyone else can bring a table or terrain please do. Part of me is thinking of backing this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/554355176/games-and-gears-battle-boards?ref=category For $100 you get a decent looking 6x4 table.

Anyone know what Yakface is up to and why he hasn't come by in a while? I know he was trying to get the game of his off the ground, maybe hes just been consumed by work?

Manhattan Beach Community Church. 303 S. Peck Ave. Manhattan Beach CA 90266. its best to come in from Rowel though and park in the back parking lot as its the closest to the hall we play in. We start at 1:00 and I would say getting there in the first hour is recommended otherwise you might show up to find a bunch of people already in a game.

I'm still checking this thread every now and then!

I had about 3 months of an insane work schedule, and then my father passed away last month so that was all kind of a perfect storm of craziness. But on top of that, I've come to the realization that after 20+ years of playing 40K, GW has finally figured out the line to cross to make me no longer interested in playing anymore, and that is to release $40 supplements nearly every month that only have 2 pages of rules in them. As someone who really loves to own and digest every morsel of 40k rules, now that they're making me pay $40 a month (minimum) to keep this 'habit' up, I finally feel like I'm just being milked for money and that has soured my feelings about the game tremendously.

Now, I'm not going to go and sell all my armies or anything crazy like that, as I know that new editions eventually roll around and (hopefully) mix things up in a positive way. But for the time being, I don't have much desire to bust the models out and play.

I definitely won't be making this weekend, but if I get the urge to play or just watch a game of epic or something I'll try to make it sometime to a future weekend.

yakface's 40K rule #2: Friends don't let friends start a MEQ army.
yakface's 40K rule #3: Codex does not ALWAYS trump the rulebook, so please don't say that!

Yakface, I completely relate to you on both counts.

My dad passed away about three months ago. It's just the worst. I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but it was so much harder than I imagined. Hang in there. It does get better.

GW has also priced me out after 20+ years. I feel like 6th edition is a mangled clusterf*** of a game and combined with the prices, I just can't muster a whole lot of enthusiasm for 40k.

Hopefully we will see you again soon, though! I am making a real push to get Epic and Warmaster going around here. We already have a good group of guys playing regularly. Epic especially has a ton of fan support and great proxy models are easily available. The rules now are in the hands of the fans, and while they do evolve, no one will ever force you to pay to keep up with them! All freely available on the internet.

Take care! Hope to see you soon.
