If you're ever up at legends, then I'd also jump in on battle reporting fun.

I could go to both. I actually have a table at home as well. I'm free tomorrow. Anyone down for a game?

Where abouts where you thinking?

I sadly can't make it tomorrow . I've got some stuff going on.

Are you free on the weekend?

Well, I may be able to do Sunday at titan games

Anyone up for a game this weekend at legends, let me know?

Anyone want to play ~1000 pts at Meeplemart or Dueling Grounds this weekend against fluffy Space Marine list? lemme know.

Can't oblige ya this week but I'm currently building up a fluffy chaos list to 1000. I'd be very down to play in the near future. I'm at meeple a lot.

Is there any easy way to get to meeplemart, or a place to park near there?

Also, how're your new Tearers shaping up Rythem?

Is anyone going to be up at legends today looking for a game?

Not bad, not a lot of changes in the new codex but the changes they made were huge and painful to swallow considering what I have in my army. At this point i've got 8k points but haven't tried anything that big yet, also i've got about a 50/50 split of painted and primed models so i'm slowly starting to work on them again.

I'm getting back into 40k after a long time. I currently have about 1000pts of marines painted, is anyone interested in getting a game or two in at Legends (or any other venue really, I'm fairly mobile) sometime?
I have played a few small games using 7e rules but only fair to warn you that I'm still learning.

Anyone want to do a ~1000 pt. game at Meeplemart or Duelling Grounds this sunday?

Hey,
Looking for people around my age (18) to play 40k, or other wargames with. Feel free to PM me!

Sure man. Most, if not all, the people who frequent legends are great guys to game with. I don't play many other places, but I've never not enjoyed a game with someone I met via this thread, so you're in luck for pick up games in general. I'm usually looking for a game or two on Sundays and the odd Tuesday or Saturday as well. Keep an eye in this thread and I'm sure you'll have no problem finding games.

Is anyone going to be around legends Tuesday and looking for a game?

Anybody heading to dg this Saturday for the escalation event?

What's the escalation event?

Its just starting up this Saturday (the 7th, 1 pm) but will happen twice a month, I think. Each month goes up 250 pts, starting this month with 750. Its at dueling grounds which is at Dufferin and bloor area. Check their website and email them if you're interested. I don't think there's a sign up (beyond email notifications) and I think its free (aside from an optional 5$ buy into a prize pool).

Here's the full info regarding the Toronto escalation league at Dueling Grounds:

Dueling grounds is going to be running
an escalation league starting on February 7th at 1:00 PM. Designated league days
will be the first and third Saturday of each month although you may arrange
games on other days. Fully painted models are not required but would look way
more cool! Ben Cope (who ran our last 40K tournament) will be hands-on running
this league.

The league is designed as an opportunity for new
players to get involved in the game, players looking to return to it, or anyone
interested in just getting some games in with a decent amount of
regularity.

For the first round (February 7th-21st), matches will be played at
750 points with game type at the discretion of the players involved. At this
stage, we will not be using formations, and no list should have any Lords of
War. Lists are encouraged to be competitive, but not punishing to your opponents
if they are new players.

I would suggest not fielding vehicles with armor 14, or some of
the more powerful flyers at this stage in the escalation, but I will leave that
up to the judgement of individual players.

Anyone who is interested in participating is encouraged to come
out for our first event on the 7th, but if you can’t make it, feel free to
schedule matches with other people involved! The league can be joined at any
time, just ask for the sign up sheet when you reach the counter (we will have
match result slips available upstairs in the store, (just hand them to whomever
is behind the counter when your games are done).

Match results are going to be tracked within the league not just
to encourage a healthy competitive spirit, but also to encourage active
involvement in the league.

It should also be noted that any awesome and spectacular, or
hilarious events that occur in games on official league dates are to be rewarded
with appropriate bits in order to facilitate the player who owns said model
customizing the figure to represent it’s epic victory

Example causes for reward:
The Gretchin who took out a Terminator Sergeant
with an overwatch shot, whose squad proceeds to rout the marines
An Astra Militarium officer armed with a basic
CCW chooses to face a space marine chapter master in a challenge. And defying
belief. Proceeds to win the fight.
A squad of space marines who remained engaged
with an endless onslaught of worthy foes that by all rights should have
annihilated them lasts through 4 turns of non-stop combat against two enemy
squads and emerges victorious
A group of nurglings intended to tarpit a fully
equipped squad of thunderwolf cavalry somehow manage to kill them all. Papa
Nurgle is very pleased

These are just a few examples, I’m sure what will come up in
game will be even better! If you are interested in being able to get even more
out of the league in terms of rewards an optional buy in of $5 for each two week
period the league is active qualifies you for the prize support the store will
be distributing for league activities during that stage of the escalation. For
each person involved who chooses to participate in the reward structure of the
league Dueling grounds will be putting up $7.50 in store-credit towards
purchases of secondary market miniatures within the store.

For the first two weeks of the league, the distribution of prize
support will be roughly as follows

Accolades of Victory:
The player with the most games won (with their
losses subtracted against said total)
Reward: 30% of the pool
A Heroes Welcome
To be distributed between players new to the
game and hobby
Reward: 40% of the pool
Accolades of Annihilation
The player who was victorious via the complete
destruction of his opponents forces, with the lowest point value of losses in
the game in question. (If two or more players tie by having not lost a single
model in their games, they can either play it out, or share the
bounty)
Reward 15% of the Pool
Accolades of Persistence
The player with the most games lost (with their
victories subtracted against said total)
Reward: 15% of the pool

Thank you to everyone for your feeback via the Warhammer 40K - Toronto Facebook group.

Cheers!

Wayne Mittlestead
Owner, Dueling Grounds

Hmm, sounds like a lot of fun, wish I had Saturday off this weekend :(. Anyone up for a game on Sunday at legends?

If I can't make it to the opening day this Saturday is it still possible for me to get a game in during this points bracket?
Maybe during the week through a Facebook group or something?

How will the matches be arranged in the DG league? Will you be assigned an opponent when you arrive? I won't be able to come in until the day of the 7th, will that be too late to register and get in on a game?

I'd be up for some gaming in Sunday.

I'd be up for a game at Legends Sunday, if I'd not be intruding of course.

Would depend on what we are doing, kungfu and I sometimes go apoc size games (8k+) and spend the day killing each other, so whatever he is feeling game size will determine that.

I'm easy. We can load up and do a big three for all or we can do a few smaller games or switch out depending on who's there. I'll text a buddy and see if he's up for coming out too. The more is always the merrier.

Got called in to work Sunday, so won't be able to make it.

Does that mean we are back to 2 or 3? Any word on your friend kungfu?

Well, I'm just waiting to hear some confirmations from people, but my brother is likely in. One of our other friends is also possibly in as well as another friend of mine who might also come, but while he's experienced at strategy games he's only played one game of 40k before.

So I'm definately coming and so might another 3. I'll let you know for sure when I know.
