Offtopic but this is likley the best thread since I only wanna trade local.
I got the following for trade/sale
10 Gk strike squad (can dig up all the bits) /w exorsist shoulder pads if you want them.
Necrons
Monolith, a butt ton of warriors, old/new wraiths, scarabs, old spyders, lord, destroyer lord, night bringer, destroyers.
Looking for $$$ or IG armor.
I was in the same idea, im actually looking to get rid of a sizable force of wolves (est over 1200 from GW price, easily over 900 from 20% off LGS stores) for a decent price along with a foam case for them at only 750, but only for GTA locals willing to come pick up, need the cash to fuel other endevours which will make me money.
I was excited to see this thread in the Dakka forums because I live in Etobicoke and am looking for people to play 40k with (preferrably in Vaughan, Etobicoke, or Mississauga). Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to read through 140 pages of posts, but perhaps someone can summarize it for me.
I am 27 years old and have collected/played 40k for 15+ years. Over the last year or so I have had a renewed interest in 40k, however I have only really put that towards painting and modeling. It would be great to have an opportunity to put my models to use and meet some new players around the city.
If possible could someone send me a list of gaming venues with open gaming days/nights for 40k?
Legends would be easy for me to get to after work as well as on weekends. I didn't even realize it existed and is in an area I frequent daily!!!
From the looks of it this thread also caters to private gaming as well.
p.s. I play eldar.

Hello and welcome to the thread, dakka is a great place to set up games and find new people to game with. Depending on how far you are willing to drive can change your list of possible venues, but i am more than willing to give you a couple quick stores in your listed areas.
Legends Warehouse in vaughan, basically 400 and langstaff, lots of free parking, dedicated gaming sections and tables with a lot of room, very friendly staff, 20% discount on purchases. (where i game)
Heavy Support Games/Titan Games, 427 and dundas, they just moved to this location so I don't have a lot of information on what their new store is like, though i do love their used mini's section.
There are a couple GW's throughout the area as well, square one used to have one though not sure if it is still there, vaughan has one near langstaff and weston road, though i haven't been in a actually GW location in over a decade (for personal reasons).
Most of these places don't set restrictions on their gaming nights and tend to be more of a destination location instead of somewhere you drop in for a random game. I would also suggest setting up a game before hand with someone than just showing up just to make sure you don't waste your time.
There are also numerous people on here with tables and terrain set up in their houses, though that always comes with it's own risk (cough kidney cough)
Hopefully some of that will help you out, good luck.
I have a Grey Knights army that is around 1850-2000 points. I haven't played since 4th edition and was wondering if anyone wanted to play a game. I have read over the rules, just need to get used to psychic abilities. I can play in Mississauga or Toronto.
I used to go to heavy support games to buy my models/supplies but never played at that location. The Titan Games relaunch is supposed to have more space for gaming, but seeing as they were getting furious at GW for all the nonsense to 3rd party retailers I am not sure how much they are still supporting the hobby. And yes the USED mini section is amazing and always fun to browse through.
Both Legends and Titan Games would be super easy for me to get to on my way home from work. I have 10000000000points of eldar and want to use it. I used to know all the rules and all the stats for every army... but in my absense from gaming I have a lot of catching up to do. I will post back here with a time and date and see if I get any reponses.
I have a tone of terrain and an old table but I will save my kidneys until I get to know people.

No, no. I don't even know if I'm heading up. If there were people up there today I might swing up later on just to stop by a grab a small pick up game. But don't head up to meet me Rythem, as I don't even know if I'll be there at all.

I am a long time player thinking of returning to the Warhammer 40k scene after roughly ten years (tau had just came out)
I currently live in Oshawa and was wondering what the player base is like in the GTA.
I have a army in mind and the funds to make it, however i would rather play in a community than just have a ton of paperweights.
so just wondering, how strong is the 40k community in the GTA (towards durham)
cheers

I don't know much about the rest of Durham, but Oshawa's fairly dead. Depending on the amount of scorn you can handle being heaped upon you, you may find some people if you ask around though. I'm not sure if Worlds Collide has even has room for a good game anymore, GW's been out of town for a few years, Hobby Ninja has come and gone (probably without you even noticing if you've been out of the game for ten years ), and Skyfox is generally overrun by card gamers.
There's a shop called Dailey Hobbies in Whitby, up Thickson, that has a decent-looking gaming space, and Ajax has the only GW between Oshawa and Toronto, but I'm not sure what the player base is like for either of those places.

I figured Oshawa was dead, I went to skyfox games and well. I "was" going to give them some business but was met with some undue hostility. but that's other story.
I live in Claremont and used to live in Brooklin. The Daily Hobbies is a great place to pick up some 40k supplies but their gaming scene is dead. Their tables in the other room are covered in excess stock and it looks like it hasn't been played in for years.
I typically play games at Legends when I don't play at home. I haven't been in the Ajax GW for years but I'm sure they have a scene I just don't play at GW's.
If you're interested in ever playing a game I would be happy to host as I play with several guys here on Dakka at my place. So long as you're a mature gamer (28+), not a weirdo, and drink beer you are more than welcome. Send me a PM if you like.

Hows the 40k scene in Toronto?
Yeah, thus the heaps of scorn comment. If ever an entire shop, staff and customers, gave gamers a bad image, there it is.

Oh man. /begin rant
Spoiler:
To put it into perspective, I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh in my younger years before i got into 40k and dominated their tournaments (back pre invasion of chaos) and always brought a ton of costumers to their store.
so they decided to ban me, (due to the fact they acted snotty towards me and i stood up for myself and pointed these things out) shorty after they lost a ton of their players to gnu books in the north end.
in short got unbanned but started playing 40k, picked up Tau (when they first came out) and immediately got scorned by the players AND staff. to the point they would no longer order and Tau for me. (back then i had a 13k point Tau army and was going for 30k).
so about two years ago i started a imperial guard / GDI conversion army, and when asked by once of the "workers" there what i was doing, I explained it to him and right away got. "thats a stupid idea". at this point i had approx $2,000 worth of models on the counter. going through the payment process. ( I was literally counting money in front of him).
I was just awe struck. this employee of a establishment that i was shelling out Thousands of dollars to just told me my idea was stupid!
(this is a image of one of the few conversions i did testing to see if i liked the idea)
I told him, that what he just did was probably the stupidest thing i had ever heard. and just walked out.
so I returned about a week or two ago and asked if there were any 40k players around (different staff member) he explained now and then a few guys come in but its not worth buying 40k anymore. and to pick up a game like pokemon TCG or magic.
I figured this was the answer but its just how they non nonchalantly try to impose "what i should or shouldn't buy".
So I asked my 2nd question. " do you have any greenstuff and a wash (I do not remember the name but it was on a list of things i need for my army)
The responce and I quote "Why the hell would we have that green gak, and the paints are over there (while he huffs and puffs)"
so lets do a tally, insulting a customers choice in game, insulting my ability to know what i want(i know GS is overpriced but meh) and third, not willing to help the customer.
in short. I have now taken my money to other stores (mostly the GW in Ajax)
/End rant

I live in Uxbridge and play. Skycapt has yet to try to fondle me in his basement... (who knows what the future will bring )
I tend to avoid the GW stores; havent been to the oshawa one but I really didnt like the vibe at the ajax store.
Legends is pretty far from Oshawa but I hear it's awesome. I shop at Heroes World in markham and plan on playing there when its not basement games. Daily Hobbies in Whitby is awesome for hobby supplies as has been stated but the game room is pretty small.

I am actually going to legends this weekend to see how it is on Saturdays. (so anyone playing there saturday please for the love of god let me know)
Thing about legends is that it is a destination spot, randomly going to try and find a game isn't usually a good way to do it. Better to try and set up a game with someone before hand. Not saying there won't be people there gaming, just that it's always a better idea to make sure in advance.
