Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to create a Group of mature Torontonians that can meet up once or twice a month and play Warhammer 40K. These meeting will take place at different clubs of our choosing so we can find a permanent place to game.

I'm 32 years old, I live in Scarborough. I drive, so I can meet anywhere in the GTA. My weekends are usually free. I have two friends who also play. One is in North York, the other is on the west end on Lansdowne.

I've been talking to other players using Gmail Chat (all other chats are blocked here at work). If you have a Gmail account and would like to chat Warhammer40k send me a PM. I also have a Facebook group. But like I said it is blocked so I can not check it until the evenings.

Warhammer 40K - Toronto

I'd like to set up the first meeting for sometime mid Jan.

If interested please reply with your location in the GTA and a little about you.

Yo...sounds good...Me and a buddy play in his basement at bathurst and st clair..we have room for huge games, ...generally eves work best for us. Where do you usually play?

Well since you drive, if Brantford is not to far for you let me know. I can host at my home, or there is a club I play at where terrian is provided for and lots of room.

I live in Hamilton and I have a bunch of people I play against here on a regular basis. There is also a 40K League starting up in January that will have several conferances in Southern Ontario( the 'test' league for this just finished a few weeks ago, it went well with a fairly good turnout. The website is http://minileagues.com/home.html. I suggest you check it out if you have time.

Thanks Spud for offering up your place. But for the first few meetings should be more public. I like my kidneys LOL

Thanks Davor but Brantford is a bit out of the way for a game. Maybe if I can get a weekend away from 'The old crow', we can set something up, but right now I'm looking in the GTA

Thanks Thaanos, I just heard of it today. Wayne from Dueling Grounds sent me a message telling me about it. Supposedly Dueling Grounds is one of the Division Hosts. So I might check that out.

As for my facebook group I got some responses as well. So I would like to get started and setup the first event. But i need to know when everyone is available and who wants to go.

I know I'm good every Saturday normally 8am to 4pm guaranteed. As for other days I can work it out. (sundays are good only if it's okay with 'The Battleaxe' lol) During the week, I work till 6pm.

So, no matter my schedule, Please If your interested then send me PM with your schedule for the month of Jan. Then I'll set up an event and we can work out all the details

Styrofoam, is that you on the Toronto Facebook group?

Ya with the picture of the Mustang, thats me. I don't go on Facebook often. but it seems to be working

Sounds good...dueling grounds sounds interesting as a meet spot...

Time: Saturday, January 15, 2011 · 10:30am - 3:00pm

Location: Games Workshop 3251 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON

I created a meeting for the 15th of Jan. I chose the Yonge GW location because it is centralized. The Time, Date and Location can all be changed. This first meeting will be mostly to get to know other players in the GTA. GW has a few tables so we can have a few pick up games. We will need to discuss how many points to bring. During this meeting we can setup regular meetings, games, our own tournaments, army swaps and trades and any Warhammer 40k!

As I said on the FB page, I`m working, so cannot make that date. :-(

as i said on the fb page idk if ill be able to play a game as im just picking up 40k again after a small break but meeting members and watching some games is something im down for

Hey im from scarborough, i used to game a lot , just got back into it. So let me know if anything is going down in scarborough

I can probably pop by to quickly say hi and meet everyone, but weekend days are generally a no go for me.

I wish this was made before I moved away for college =(. I *may* be able to make it in on weekends if you go to Heavy Support or somewhere downtown.

I don't mean to hijack this thread? but I live in Scarborough in Toronto and would love to get in some more Fantasy games - any of you guys play fantasy too? I usually play at Hero's World because they have good tables/scenery and great staff. If anyone wants to play games there or extend the group to include fantasy then I would definitely be down for that.

Hey stevie, I used to play fantasy and have been looking to try our 8th...where else do you play?

I'd be interested in this. my only nights off are wed/thurs tho. Myself and a buddy play. I live near lansdowne and bloor and he is near christie and st clair.

Heavy support games FTW

@ stevie i play fantasy hopefully we canmake it an all round gaming group instead of just 40k.

exodusofman wrote:Heavy support games FTW

From how I've been treated the two times I've dealt with them I'm going to have to disagree

hopefully we canmake it an all round gaming group instead of just 40k.

The OP stated that he wants to make this about 40k. There's no harm in starting your own topic about Fantasy if you want but hijacking his really isn't cool.

I agree with bunker, please keep it to 40k
If you are interested in Fantasy, Spud has started up a thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/331137.page If he is up for it he can manage the FB and I can manage 40k

@ Bunker: The staff at Heavy Support treated me pretty well, what happened with you?

I just gave GW on yonge a call and I reserved the 2 tables in the back. They are having a LotR tournament that day but the tables in the back will be free. They open at 10am. So I think the best time to meet would be around 10:30-11am

So far guest list from Dakka will be:

Bunker
Exodusofman
Styrofoam04 (myself) - I can bring 1500pts
and a few others from FaceBook (not sure if they are on Dakka)

If you want to come and are not on the list send me a PM

np the first meeting will mostly be about meeting new players, So the games will be mostly pick up, nothing really setup.

There are a few other players in Scarborough, but not many places to meet (only STC I believe). So If transportation is a problem I have np car pooling to these events.

On that note if you drive and are willing to car pool please send me a pm.

First time a tournament was canceled without any notice. A friend and I drove down from North York to play and were turned away for a Magic tournament, despite their calendar saying there was a 40k tournament and me calling two days prior to confirm this. Ended up going to GW Langstaff and having a much better time

Second time we went in for a pickup game with each other and were asked to vacate our table for two regulars who wanted to play.

Needless to say they will never be getting my business.

I am surprised at this. I didn't think Heavy Support would have done this. That is a little shocking.

Then again, I haven't been there in 2 years, so maybe management changed or they did I guess. I would never think they would have done such a thing.

I doubt management will change since it always seems to be that guy that lives in the apartment above the store. However, I wouldnt put it past him to do something like that. I think the guy is more of a Magic Fan than a 40K fan. He can get a bit irritating at times tho. I only buy from him because he's the cheapest source (Maelstrom's prices are better, but the customs kills me).

the tourney scheduele is annoying ill admit. I love the store mainly for its discounted price as i prfer buying in person than on the internet. Anyway if the 15th is still ago ill see some of you guys there i may even bring my ok playing friend along

Hey dudes. I mostly go to Langstaff GW, and I am always looking for a game of 40k. I play Chaos Space Marines, ranging from 1000-2000 points. I will be there tomorrow at around 2 or 3pm.

I sometimes go to Yonge and Lawrence, when I feel like riding the TTC, or when I meet someone there.

Just a reminder that the event is still taking place.

Time: Saturday, January 15, 2011 · 10:30am - 3:00pm

Location: Games Workshop 3251 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON

Bunker and I will be there with 1750pts If any wants to have a pick up game

If you are coming please let me know what time

we will also decide when and where the next one will take place
