Looking to put together games at Myriad Games in Manchester. Anybody interested, feel free to post up! Myself and the other guy interested are relative noobs so no experience is welcome, we'll train up.

PM me sometime if your still interested. i live just north of concord and occasionally play at the game castle in londonderry.

Some of the guys who regularly show up at Myriad on Tuesdays or Thursday nights have and play some 40k lately. Tuesday nights is technically a club-only night for a specific local club, but they allow folks to hang out as a guest for a visit to check it out an decide if you might want to join the club.

Myriad's a good store; it's a little bit small and doesn't have as much terrain as it should to support multiple tables, but otherwise is solid.

Im down for anything really. Never had luck at Myriad but didnt know they started 40K recently.

Nice, would either of you two like to play some games this coming Thursday afternoon. I get out of work at 1:00 so i would be free most of the afternoon and evening. I havnt played much sixth yet but ive been scouring over the book, dying to play. Let me know!

Thanks for the info, i stopped in today and got a nice vibe from the store. I think il stop by on Tuesday one of these days to meet some of the club members....

I could get some games in at Myriad.

The only army I have ready is Blood Angels and they aren't quite finished. So there would be some grey and glue in there.

I can play any day of the week until about 7:30pm then it's off to work.

thats okay my army is also half painted, im frantically trying to get it well painted for Mechanicon in October. Id be down for some games but im tight on cash this week. Could you play any day of the weekend? If not il be able to come down for a game or two next week.

I'd love to get a game in this weekend.

Saturday is usually fine for me but I have to admit I'm terribly forgetful.

Just PM me a bunch of time thursday and friday as a reminder.

Also, Myriad is a great store but as far as gaming... They tend to favor vets so if there is a bunch of people doing something they won't let you play.

If that is the case we can hop in my ride and make the 12 minute journey to the Game Castle in Londonderry.

There is only one problem I have with Game Castle... They know me there and I haven't played in over a year. So I more than likely will be bothered by folks at every turn.

"Hey man, how are your Ultras doing?"

"Did you read these rules?"

"Where have you been?"

"Lookat my new model!"

And of course there's always TFG who just sits there and comments on everything you do... Even when you say "Shut up, go away." several dozen times.

Ha, yea i went there last weekend and met two guys that i enjoyed talking to and hanging with but other than that the rest of them seemed REALLY clicky and elitist...There was a few mouthbreathers in the crowd too lol. I was wearing a flat brim hat and a ripped iron maiden shirt and i could tell a lot of them were judging me as some sort of punk/ moron. It was kinda odd especially since most of them have been to my old FLGS(Jetpack comics, Rochester N.H) before for tournaments..... when they were at my former home turf they were friendly and outgoing.... last weekend they were just about the opposite. I did not feel welcome. In fact i felt unwanted.... now that my sob stories done im hoping to make myriad my new FLGS..... Id be down to play at either place tho, game castle has some awesome tables! Il PM spam you on thursday+Friday

On the plus side, Myriad has opened up Tuesday nights and they are not specifically a club night anymore. Tues and Thurs are both fully open to all.

They do have several battle mats to roll out over tables, and some decent (but limited) terrain. Usually it's more or less first-come, first-served for the tables, and some nights are busy, but I've found the staff are usually really helpful about setting up a table for you if there's space but tables aren't currently in the right configuration to support a minis game. In my experience they are also open to taking reservations, at least for early in the evening- if you know you're meeting someone for a game at a particular time, you can call ahead and (staff permitting) they'll set up a table for you (IIRC they even put a little "reserved" sign on it). Obviously you don't want to be late if you do this; they can't leave a table locked up and empty for an hour if they're busy, but it's still pretty nice.

Some of the GC guys can be a little standoffish, which is a bummer. Right now only a few of us at the store have really jumped into 6th with both feet. A bunch of other guys are playing more Warmahordes and stuff. We did just start a 1750pt league, though, so if your schedule permits and you want regular games, you might consider signing up for that.

Id be very interested in that, is that at myriad or the game castle? Thanks for the info about myriad by the way its very helpful!

Always glad to help a local gamer!

The league's at the Castle. I think about six or eight of us are presently signed up. I've gotten in two games so far, against Eldar and Sisters of Battle. Both had IG allies, amusingly enough. Right now I'm running straight Blood Angels, but the league allows you to switch your list once any time before your 4th game, so I might change up and throw in some Eldar or Necrons as allies.

Yea id like to sign up, what day do you guys usually play on so i can plan to be there...

Tuesday evenings the most; some folks are usually there on saturdays or sun as well. I've seen folks arrange games ahead of time on the store forum, too, though there's not a lot of activity there. www.thegamecastle.com

I'm definatly gonna have to join the league at GC.

Just gotta get these Orks painted!

That'd be sweet!

Awesome, il head over to the GC this Tuesday. Deffdread, If you still want to get a game or two in this weekend at Myriad im still down.

If you want to get a game in tomorrow (friday the 10th) I can make it.

You said you can be there around 1:30? I can be there no problem. I'm right on Hanover Street so it's like 8 minutes away.

Oh yeah. How many points?

why dont we plan on 2:00pm so i can hit up the bank after work first. Nice, thats real close. Lets plan on 1,500 points as this will be my first 6th ed game. Sweet, im excited to end the work week with a game of 40k.

Do you have the main rule book? Mine is univailable *coughpdfcough*

yea i have the rulebook ha. also i will be bringing like 2 flyers just to let you know... might want to take a storm raven if you have one...

Funny you should say that. I do have a Stormraven. However it's what brings my available models to 1750 points.

Do the fact that is my friends army (I'm painting it for him) I have a set list ofmodels and in truth I can't really drop anything without crippling the list.

Think we could beef it up to 1750?

Sure i dont mind as long as you have time for a longer than usual learning 6th ed type of game. Still a bit hazy on certain rules, missions, deployments, etc
