You know my position on proxying, Jason used a rock as a venom before. As long as I'm not expected to remember that the hill is a land raider you'll be fine. . 6000 it is. 2 force org charts, correct? I whipped up a list at lunch and when I get home I'll have to see how many models I need to glue together.

I can set aside a day that weekend for gaming, the Saturday would probably be better so we can get all the game in without being worried about time. I've tallied my total forces, and without fielding kitted out DC squads I can comfortably play 5700 pts. I can also pair it down to any level since all I'm doing is adding all my units into army builder and seeing what the total is.

Only 5700?

My 3500 point of Death company alone laugh at that

In all seriousness I'd love for you and I to team up and take on whoever else wants to go against us, between the 2 of us we could field close to 13000 points of BA

Lol I could do it this weekend if we can find a place to game~

I can probably field 5000-6000 points of Necrons in total~

Great game last weekend Makutsu! Very close and pointed out some big issues with our doubles army

Anyone free for 1850 on Sunday at Legends (if it's not doing a MtG thing) or Meeplemart??

I'm definetely down for games this weekend and next week during the week, I want to game like 3-5 days at least~!
Legends is probably not going to be all that well due to the MTG thing...
Meeplemart is a bit too far for me...

Nobody here goes to the GW right beside Legends?
Does anyone know if their facilities are complete? (eg. washrooms?)

If I had to play GW I'd prefer to play at the one at Y&L, I just have gift certificates to Meeple and Legends that I want to use lol!

I'd totally be down to play @Legends but MTG release... :(

I'll play Meeplemart or yonge / Lawrence GW if someones down Sunday. 1v1 or otherwise. I'm newish tho

Hey Makutsu, do Necrons team up with Chaos Marines? Maybe we'll take over Heavy Support Games.

I team up whoever is willing to crush the Imperium!

I have Daemons as well, not sure about taking over HSG though since it's kinda far~

Do they support Warhammer very well?
I went to there once and it seemed like there was a lot of MTG tables only...

I just called HSG and they also have a magic thing this weekend. Is there any place that does 40k and not magic?

Lol, I recalculated my army if I were to run all my assault squads as DC instead and I can now hit 6500 pts. So instead of 6 ASM squads I would field 3 20 man DC squads, each with 2 power swords, 1 power fist, and 1 thunder hammer, and then 16 reg DC. Didn't even think about running them as DC instead of ASM, mainly because I wouldn't be able to hold a single objective.

kungfujew wrote:I just called HSG and they also have a magic thing this weekend. Is there any place that does 40k and not magic?

Yeah i'm not surprised, HSG has always been more into MTG than any other system. When legends goes down for a weekend of MTG usually HSG is also out of commision.


Yeah sadly meeplemart is too far for me to travel for 40k unless it's a tournament, and even then I'd need to be convinced . It's too bad all the people in our group that have gaming tables and terrain appropriate for this live in the wrong end of Toronto.

Outside of this huge potential throw down; anyone want to play either Thurs or Fri. I'm good any location but would like to try out GW or Meeplemarts scenery too

Well me and my friend will be going to the Langstaff GW this weekend.

We can do 2v2 or 1v1 depending on what you are down to~

Thurs and Fri I can head anywhere with car after work, however told girlfriend she could use car Sunday so I'm limited to transit (meeplemart and GW Lawrence on that day.

I'm good for gaming thursday if you are willing to come to legends . Meeplemart is to far for me to drive, and i'm heavily biased against GW's.

alright sounds good I'm in. I bought some objective theifs btw based on your previous reccomendation

Ha ha..... My rock was the stupidest proxy ever.... I moved it on turn 1 and then forgot about it for the rest of the game!

Sooooooo....if Legends is having MTG all weekend, I would love to host a Warhammer day.... I have a tabletop (professionally painted and grassed) and a bit of terrain... I have snacks and drinks, and my BBQ has just been cleaned for the season.... 40K, snacks and burgers is what I'm talking about. Saturday or Sunday morning... Dual or 2vs2..... Regular or Epic.... Let me know if anyone is interested. I live 5 mins north of Legends.

Nice, that's an awesome idea DE

Rythem: What you wanna play tomorrow? I could use 1200 worth of SM or run 1850 Orks

I'm fine with either, so if there is an army you would prefer to play let me know and I can work out a list for that pt level. What time were you thinking about gaming?

Because traffic will likely be bad it's best to aim for 6 or a bit before. I'll bring the marines then at about 1200 pts then as I dont use them much.

Sounds good, i'll probably be there sometime between 5:30 and 6 then. I'll also work out a fun list to play at 1200 pts from one of my armies, see what I can come up with.

Still no takers on the weekend 40K day offer... I need to know if we are a go by Friday morning at the latest... to plan my weekend if we are not a go, and to pick up meat if we are a go. Let me know. Oh, and the invite goes out to everyone, whether we have played each other before or not. Rythem? Spender? Optimus? MoreDakka? Sandwich? Kungfew? Kungfew's Bro? Anyone?

I'm surprised no one is jumping at this, I'm limited on Sunday as girlfriend is using car and I live downtown. If anyone is able to give me a ride I'm down and I'll bring the orks

Sandwich: How close can you get? I don't mind picking you up from somewhere nearby... downsview station even... this could be an option if Sunday is the day... depends on how big you are as well... car is not too big

I'm out for this weekend, real life is getting in the way

I'm down at Spadina and Front and unfortunately I have an unwieldy two large trays for my battlewagons alongside case and book. It would be close to impossible to get it on Subway :/

I'm still working on firming up my weekend so I can give you a definite answer asap.

If no one is heading up from down my way we could swing by meeplemart if you wanna come down

Yeah i'm not sure on this weekend yet either, I should be able to give a definitive answer soon I hope.


Good game today amazingsandwich, sorry I had to leave right afterward but the gf was sending threatening messages to my phone.

Yeah good game, next time I plan on rolling four one's three times in a row

Sorry Jason, I still have no idea what my weekend is looking like. :(

DE I actually just picked up a case for my trays so I'm up for a game Sunday up there or I can meet you somewhere on the transit line like GW Lawrence

Finaly got things sorted out. If anyone is playing today and wants to throw down, post up before I start painting.

Yeah I had 3 different birthdays to attend this weekend and basically ran out of time. Should we try and reschedule for next weekend or just wait the 2 weeks for legends to return to normal?

I don't know if I'df call legends next availiable weekend a return to "normal". We already have a 6000 point game scheduled, and with the random comments we've seen, it might be a minimum of 6000 pts.

no, I went today since I was around and they said it's going to be busy too since the MTG is still going to go on, and they have a Pokemon release as well.

There was one table empty today, and one with all the terrain stacked on.

they are free during the week though~

Anyone down to play on Wed?

So, I was thinking... While I have no objection to playing a 6000 pts game with Rythem ( I was actually quite looking forward to it), them seems to be a fair bit of talk about who can add up to what and so forth. So..... Why don't we schedule a truly epic game of 40k. I asked the guys at legends and they said it's no problem to put two tables side by each, so can we hit 20-24'000 or even 30'000 pts a side? Chaos marines vs the minions of the corpse god, that false emperor of theirs? Anyone interested in joining up for an epic game, not this coming Sat, but the one following? If we can get an early start and 3-6 people a side it could be..... Epic. Chaos marine and any Space marine chaper preferred. If there's good interest we can add "allies" after the main combatant slots fill up.

Post up if you can field 4-6000 points of Marines of any Chaos or loyalist chapter. If there's 2-4 people a side who can bring 4000-8000 pts each then we can definitely include people who can bring 2000-3000 pts. (It's not being points snobbery, just trying to keep it from being an unmanageable 10v10 @2000 pts each. )
Just regular codex stuff, no appocalypse style monstrosities. 1 force org chart to 3000, 2 force org charts at higher?

I could for sure bring 4000-6000 points of Chaos I think if there's no FOC restriction.

But I probably won't be around for it though

But if anyone wants to play during the week, I'm totally down for it!
CSM & Daemons vs anything!

I'd love to be there but my wife has decided to host a mother's day dinner at out place that day. Being that it's mother's day and all I'm stuck preparing everything

I could bring 2000 Orks to the side of Chaos if needed, I think they are close Allies.

Makutsu: I can play Thurs if you are up for it

Yeah, I think I can do Thurs the entire day, if we go earlier we can get more games in~

It's a work from home day for me Thurs so I could probably swing by earlier in general maybe 1?

yeah sure, I can do earlier as in like 11 if you are up to it~

Wow, I thought for sure there would be trash talking and evil/"good" forces lining up to kill/maim/devour their enemies.

Lol, maybe everyone is trying to figure out what they can field. We will need to figure out what the sides will be before the day arrives so we can try for equal teams. Plus i'm more about trash talking my own units/dice than other players armies.

So AmazingSandwich so tmr @1:00? or 11:00?
@Legends for how many points?

Some stuff came up so Maybe 2pm? That ok? Do 1850 to start, do another if have time? I'll bring 1850 orks and 1400 SM

sure, 2pm for 1850 it is~

Anyone down for a game this Friday?

I might be able to, but I'll have to let you know tmr~

Who's gonna be around for games this Saturday? I hope there are no MTG cockroaches at Legends.

Me and my friend will be going to the GW at Langstaff since there's MTG at Legends

Ok. I'll come by too.

So, there's going to be MTG crap going on again tomorrow at Legends??

I thinks so, we're going to drop by Legends to see if we can get a table first.

Last week when I went, it was filled with MTG but there was 2 tables open one with terrain all over it but yeah.

Hey guys, I'm getting back into Warhammer 40K and I'd like to play a few games with an experienced player so I can brush up on my gaming knowledge and skills. I know the basics of 40K but I've forgotten alot. I'm running a small set of vanilla marines (painted to a high standard) and I've got a ton of IG and Tau on the way (will not play with them until they're painted). If anyone wants to game tonight or sunday either drop a message here or PM me.

EDIT: I live in Bolton but have a car and can drive out to Legends or Langstaff GW.

- Dan

p.s. I've got the full sixth edition rulebook and the current SM codex, plus dice, templates and rulers so no worries about that.

Hi Daniel

Welcome to the forums. I am pretty good with rules and know the Space Marine codex pretty well. I would be glad to teach you how to battle in the 41st millennium. Just let me know when you are free.

Just be aware Legends opens at 11am and closes at 9pm, I think. They are not open Mondays. GW Langstaff is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, but pretty much has the same hours as Legends.

Hey, welcome back to the 40k scene. We have a pretty active group that plays at legends and are always happy to see new faces. I'd say for this weekend that the GW at langstaff would be your better bet, legends is doing a very large MTG tournie this weekend and all their tables have been converted to make space. I'm always happy to play beginner games with people, it lets me play fun or fluffy lists which is how i prefer to play anyways. Best way to find a game is to post a time and point level and someone will usually answer pretty quickly to set up a place.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Despite an unexpectedly busy schedule, I'm free to meet up wednesday between 10am and 1pm, near brampton or Legends. The closer to Bolton/Caledon the better. Let me know.

Normally I'd be up for a game on Wednesday, though most stores don't open till 11am during the weekdays, but I'm going up to my cottage till Friday to do some roofing. I will be back down on Friday though so kungfu if we are still looking to game this Saturday I am definitely up for it. Whether it is the massive apoc game with teams of players, or our smaller apoc size I'm up for either.

Well, regardless of how many people are in, I put aside my "army" and just added up all the points of Chaos marines as they are, wysiwyg, and I'll be good for 6000.
I've got something like 500ish points to spend on wargear/marks that aren't already painted/glued on, but between just upgrading my guys with gear they would normally have (like invulnerable saves on my lords), I should have a very appropriate army; ie tons of boots on the ground, and nothing that smacks of win at all costs. I think I'm even down to the last 200 odd points if I just add in the basic upgrades I can't live without. I'm always shocked at the how hard it is to find 25 points to take a 4++ save on your warlord in either a 1500 point game or a 6000 point game. If you wanted to bring an extra 1000 points I could easily fill that up, although that might just be because chaos has so many upgrades possible.

www.battlegrounds-wargaming.com check out our events we are located on sandalwood parkway - Cardboard Memories. We have 40K night every Friday and growing.

So, who does for a game this week?

So another Magic Prerelease and Release weekend is over and the gaming area at Legends Warehouse getting back to normal.
Even with this Sunday's Magic Draft and Pokemon Vaughan Open, we still were able to squeeze in two 40k Games.
As of this morning all of our tables are back in regular use.
See you then

Hey Spender,
I could be up for a game this Friday. Let me check with my work load and I'll get back to you. If all goes well I'd like to game at Legends for about 12:30-1. Back to you soon.

Anyone for a game this week? 5-530 start time?

I'm only available tomorrow actually. Rest of the week I'm booked till Sunday.

Bollocks, tomorrow only day I can't do now. Anyone else to play Thurs or Fri?

Also: When / is huge battle happening at legends? Anything confirmed for this?

Change of plans. I am available Friday too, probably Saturday as well.

Anyone interested in a game this Saturday? My army is finally assembled enough to be playable so I want to test it out, 1500-1850 points. I'd prefer to meet at Heavy Support but can travel.

Sounds good, wanna play Friday then. I can do 1840 with my orks

Earliest I could get there on Fri is 430

Balls. Not sure if I can stay that late. I'll get back to you on that. If I don't probably can't make it.

Hey Spender,
I will let you know tomorrow about Friday. If all is good I am available at 1pm for an 1850pt game.

Ok unless I hear from you tonight I'll assume you can't.

Anyone else for game Fri or On weekend?

Sadly Rythem, I can't do Saterday. I've got the kid on Saterday, but I'm good for Sunday if that works for you. Also, I have 7000-8000 points of Chaos, so I have some tough choices to make.

Rythem: up for game or two Saturday then?

Oh Ok, perhaps we can take a rain check I was actually hoping you could play at noon as well at Legends though. Not a fan of entering a GW store.

Actually, my friend's game is postponed to 3. so I can meet you tomorrow at noon at Legends.

So no one for a game 430 tomorrow?

Turns out I have access to a car this weekend so can meetup anywhere. Anyone want to schedule a game for this Saturday?

Or will there be enough people at Legends that scheduling a game isn't necessary, one can just show up?

I'm still up for playing tomorrow, wanna tentatively plan it and if there are other people there we can adjust?

I live downtown so I could meet at meeplemart, GW as well if you prefer

Ahh sadly it's mothers day on sunday so I won't be able to game that day. I'll redo my list with all upgrades see if it changes at all, though i feel like 7k would be stretching it for me.

Hey, I'm up for games saturday at legends if you are still looking, just got back from my cottage so I haven't had a chance to read through all the messages yet.

Cool, let's do it. A guy above mentioned interest yesterday but never heard back. If he's still game maybe we could do 2v1, but otherwise I'll be there. What time you want to go? I have dinner with a friend at night but I'm basically good all day for games

If you have dinner we should start earlier if we can, want to try for 11am?

Ya see ya then

I'm still down for tomorrow, you guys cool with a 2v1?

I'm always fine with team games, i'll just pack all my crap into my car and see what I will need when I get there.

Sure ya I'm down. I'll do same as Rythem

Okay, see you guys 11am tomorrow at Legends Warehouse.

Just a reminder that next week (May 18th) is the early bird deadline for Conquest Toronto.

For those of planning on attending, that means tickets go up $5 per person after that day.

For those of you who have already paid, that means that army lists are due for the early bird bonus.

We're currently sitting at 29 players for singles and 17 teams for doubles!

You can find out more at
www.conquesttoronto.com

I'm leaving soon for Legends, don't really know anyone and open to gaming with anyone.

Update
Played with Rythem and AmazingSandwich today, was awesome to meet you guys! We should play again sometime.

Also, would anyone be in to create and/or participate in a campaign? We could create our own fluff, maybe some interesting terrain pieces for objectives, and play games based on the campaign. Could organize it through dakka and play at Legends. Results of games could be posted to dakka and it would effect the campaign. Wouldn't be too hard to whip up some fluff and there's probably tons of campaign materials we can grab off the internet.

Yeah good games today, that 6 hour 4k point battle was epic

AmazingSandwich wrote:

Yeah was a great game today, and it was actually 7400 pt game, 3700 pt per side . Good to see my FT finally win a apoc game, though with the casualties on both sides being so high I would of been happy with either outcome.

Yeah it was a strong list for those two armies. Outside of my nob bikers I was effectively neutralized from that heavy armor. Ghaz would have done much better than zagstruk in that sense... fething zagstruk.

SM Vanilla captains are actually pretty good for their point cost, plus they come with a pretty big list of items you can equip them with making them very versatile. Vulcan technically doesn't have a "place" in a chapter hierarchy, he runs around the galaxy looking for relics left behind by their primarch, though he can recruit any salamanders in the area to help him complete his mission. Kor'sarro Khan is the white scars version of a captain though he usually only shows up in bike armies since his rules interact well with a bike squad. Best option for deciding on your HQ is mapping out what type of army you want to field. The SM vanilla codex is loaded up with enough options where you can field any type of army and be pretty effective on the table.

@Amazing Sandwich

The best thing about a Captain is that when you put one on a bike, he unlocks Bikes as Troops, which can add a lot of versatility to your army. Also, the T5 and mobility is really good.

Of all the special characters, Vulkan tends to be really popular as his gear makes him very tough and very hitty, but most importantly he can greatly increase the damage output of your army (if you have lots of flamers and meltas.) Also, Vulkan armies tend to lend themselves very well to Drop Pods, which get around the ubiquitous Aegis Defense Line.

If you're just looking for a beastly close combat hero, I'd recommend Lysander, again, best deployed by Drop Pod so that he gets into combat ASAP.

Thanks guys, I'll stick with the Vulkan list you gave me Rythem and work from there then. I like the idea of Pedro but not the idea of blowing 300-400 on sternguard to make that list. I suppose ill run Vulkan and termie librarian as HQ options to give some versatility. This, as always, as a back project compared to the orks of course.

We could also do proxy games, I could give you some of my FT's to play with and you could test out a bunch of different units and lists to see what you like playing. I'm all about proxy games before spending the cash.

Just bought Vulkan online, was going to grab thunderfire's too (due to availability issues in stores).. but damn... 70 bucks for basically a cannon unit before taxes?

Lol ya, you get a cannon and a techmarine, the prices have gone pretty crazy since the last time I bought one. Luckily you really can't go wrong with vulkan as long as you field units that make good use of his chapter tactics rule. Fun thing with the techmarine from the TFC kit is that it can bolster ruins making them a 3+ cover save for the cannon and himself while in it, 2+ armour and 3+ cover can be rough to get by.

Anyone for an 1850 on Thursday at 430/5?

Daniel_Holmes wrote:Also, would anyone be in to create and/or participate in a campaign? We could create our own fluff, maybe some interesting terrain pieces for objectives, and play games based on the campaign. Could organize it through dakka and play at Legends. Results of games could be posted to dakka and it would effect the campaign. Wouldn't be too hard to whip up some fluff and there's probably tons of campaign materials we can grab off the internet.

We tried a while ago to start a leauge at Ledgends but didn't have enough interest. I'd be more than willing to organize something but it would have to wait untill after the summer, too many tourney's to get ready for

Maybe, I'll have to let you know later this week.

My brother and I did a "mini" campaign continueing the storyline of a 2 on 2 we played. We'd talked about the details of turning it into an ongoing campaign with as many people as wants in. If there's a bunch of people who are interested I'm more than happy to write up a fluff and proposed "rules"/details. All I'd need is a list of people interested and the army/faction they'd be primarily using.

I'm up for that, I'll probably be using my eldar, new codex out in a couple weeks plus they are the army i'm building/painting right now. Unless of course we go big point levels again in which case I'd bring out the FT's again.

Can't Wed I'm going to hit a ball game. If thurs opens up let us know

Oh, the campaign is one thing, our huge game is another, and IS happening.

I want to play in a campaign or league! Anyone gaming this weekend?

Although I should warn you Rythem. With the addition of a few trades on dakka, by the time this epic game happens (and assuming we allow for an addtional force org chart), I should be pushing 9000. Yes, the call of chaos is strong and I am weak.

Also, I might definately be up for a game this weekend, Dark. BUT, I have no idea when I'll know for sure; likely by Friday. And yes I realize how rediculous that is.

The campaign at Legends would be something of interest for sure for me. With the tournament coming up after the long weekend we should have a good group of people to discuss possibilities.

In my mind it'd be a campaign not a tournament. Think video game definition of campaign, mostly about the story. Hopefully scores can be kept so there can be a little competition but the main point will be the story and fluff and having fun. Not necessarily winning.

I mean, that's what most or all of us are here for, to have fun.

I would like to be involved with the creative and organizational side of things, though not organizationally in charge. Ill leave that to someone more experienced and organized.

Go ahead and make plans, my week got busy :(

When I say I'll draw some stuff up it'll be as a starting point. pm me your email address and I'll send over what I put together for discussion in a few days.

I'm already bugging Amazing Sandwich about this but thought I'd throw it out to other TO based Ork players, anyone have a reinforced ram for the BW kicking around?

http://bitzbarn.com/oscommerce/catalog/images/IMG_9332.JPG

That's the one I am looking for, have $$$ or trades (just ask me I have tons of Ork, MEQ, IG and some Nid parts)

Rythem tomorrow 530 then?

Anyone down for game tomorrow at Legends, say 2pm?

AmazingSandwich wrote:

I can actually do earlier if that works for you, I saw your post said a time closer to 4:30 if you are still looking for then.

Shoot for 5 then? Should be fine I just have a hard time knowing what traffic will be going north until I'm in it

sounds like a plan, i'll be there.

Rythem: I can actually get there MUCH earlier today if you are down. Like 3 or earlier. Let me know if that's better

3 sounds good to me, I finished up all the work i could do today so i'm just relaxing now waiting for deliveries to come in.

Anyone up for Legends on Saturday?

I'm free almost all weekend. Planning on painting a lot but open to suggestions/invitations.

AmazingSandwich wrote:

Yeah a great game today, and very close till the end of the 3rd turn where i finally managed to pop those 2 battlewagons. It will probably take some time and games before you get a feel for tactics and strategies that will work for your orks, we have all been there.

Orks have tactics and strategies!? I thought it was junst run forward as quick as possible

Saturday I'm good for 11:30 onwards

Saturday I'm free after 2pm. Anyone wanna game? Small points, about 600 to 1000. I can also do a team battle if anyone wants to add me to their battle.

Also, I have a significant amount of Eldar models, unpainted, that I do not want. Does anyone want to buy or trade me? If anyone's interested, PM me.

2pm is a little late for me. Anyone around on Sunday?

Anyone wanna play one or two games on Monday morning? It's a holiday. Let me know. Duel or team battle.

I'm down for some games on Monday. Where would we play though? I think everything is closed for the holiday.

DEE I could game Monday it would have to be in the morning though. Your place again?

Optimus: I'm good with hosting. I prefer early as well.
Guis: you are welcome as well. That would give us 3 teams.

Anyone else wanna make it a foursome?

Let me know so we can get it confirmed. I'll pick up some dogs for the BBQ.

I could do Monday morning. I work at 3 though. May I come?

Yup, you are welcome. I would like to finish in early afternoon anyway. So we have Optimus, myself and Holmes for Monday morning and waiting to hear if Guis is in or not for some 2 on 2 action..... If no word from Guis soon, it will be first come first serve for the fourth spot. What is a good start time for you guys? Earlier the better for me. Let me know so we can coordinate.

What time are you thinking? I'm up at 7 so I'm good for whenever I was hoping to do an 1850 1v1 for the upcoming tournament

I am good for Monday morning. Just let me know the time and the place.

Are you ok with 2vs2? We have you, me, Holmes and Guis. Let me know so we can get the details ironed out. If you are good with 2 vs 2, then we can figure out the start time.

I can do 2v2. Still depends on time though. I'm with you and earlier the better

Holmes are you joining us on Monday?

Okay. Please confirm start time and attendance: Optimus, Guis and Holmes.

My place at 8? 8:30? 9?

Lets get it decided. I am good for anytime.

I live 7 minutes north of Legends.... I will pm address to each of you.

I'm good for 8:30

Confirming for 8:30 on Monday.

Confirmed for 830. My work-imposed sleep schedule will make it difficult to be up and ready for that time so I might be a tad late but ill try my absolute best to be on time.

Great. See you all in the morning. I assume 1850?

1850 each teams or 1000 a side?

Guis is here. Holmes is 10 mins away. No word from Optimus yet.

Anyone looking for one last practice game before the tournie this weekend at legends, I'm available thursday if anyone is interested.

I could do a game on Thursday morning but Im not the best player and I'm not participating in the tourney. Just throwing the offer out there.

Yeah I was looking for 1850 games if I could swing it, trying to decide between 2 different lists to bring, haven't made up my mind yet.

I am down for a game tomorrow (Thursday) What time you thinking?

I can likely be there 12:30 or so.

Thoughts, anyone?

I work at 3pm so Id need to start at like 10am Thursday.

I can be at Legends at today at 12:30pm.

Rythem and I have a game going for 12:30.

@holmes - Legends doesn't open until 11 so I don't think you will be able to make a game before work unfortunately.

Ok. Trying to convince my tall, bearded friend to join us, so we have 4 players. That way we can rotate evenly.

It's Conquest this weekend so I'm out

Hey guys! For those of you who haven't seen the thread, there's a Toronto Campaign W40K potentially being started. Please see the sign-up thread linked below:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/529561.page

Oh Lolz I thought that was last wknd

Who else aside from me and Optimus (and CGB who is only going to weeze my pizza) are going to Conquest???

Wish I could have, I went last year and had a blast. Got business in Kansas City this weekend. Enjoy the tourney!

AmazingSandwich wrote:

I'm available on saturday for a game if you are still looking, was going to be heading to legends anyways to pick up my new eldar codex, could easily game at the same time.

Dang Rythem I made plans as no one responded right away. I can play Sunday but gf has the car so I have no way of getting up there, but could meet you on transit if ya want

Ahh too bad, I have to work sunday. All good though, I can go over and pick up my stuff and then head back to my air conditioning and read my new codex.

Getting any new units?

Thinking just a wraithknight for now, should be fun to build and "paint". I doubt I'll get either flier since I don't tend to field those if I can avoid it, other than that there really aren't any "new units" in the codex from what the rumor mill has been pumping out. I'll need to really read through it to see what changes have been made before I do anything to drastic.

Exciting either way I'm sure

Anyone interested in a game this weekend? Early start, early finish?

Yeah, I went to Conquest today and it was amazing

The entry fee is kinda pricey sort of but man it was so much fun~

I think everybody should consider it next year

Are there any groups in Oakville, Ontario who play? This thread is enormous, not sure if it's been mentioned already.

I have a couple of friends who I play against but the games are months between because they live in other cities. I don't know anyone in my entire town who I can play against. I'd love if there were a small to medium sized group I could get to know and have my ass handed to me a few times by, or even just hobby with, like build and paint and work on scenery and stuff. I'm so alone when I paint and assemble! Let me know!

I live in Vaughan. I would love to issue some DE pain a few times a month! . Do you travel? Is there somewhere to play near you? I usually play at Legends or at my house, both of which are in Vaughan.

Ya both days of Conquest was fun. It started off good with More Dakka and I going 2-0 in the team tourny, then it full apart and we ended up going 2-2.

Sunday wasn;t much better, first match for my singles was Cron-air (8 Flyers ), 2nd match was Relics and I drew a nid swarm, so need less to say I didn't do so well. That's when the drinking began. After that I didn't care how my games were!

Sounds like fun!

Anyone looking to game this week? I'm available thursday and looking to play at legends, let me know.

I would like to play. What time on Thursday? I work, but may be able to get off early.

I'm done work around 1 so i'm free from then on.

I'm 24, and I usually just prefer to play at my house when we game. I have a Realm of Battle board and lots of scenery so we usually just play at my place. There's no 'place' to play, I wish there was some sort of place I could meet with people, but alas. :(

I remember a place being open in Burlington called "The Hobby Kingdom", I'm pretty sure they're still open and it seemed like a really nice place the last time I was there.

Also, a Games Workshop store opened up in Burlington this past weekend. I have yet to drop by it but I would assume, from all my experiences with GW stores and their staff, that it is probably a highly toxic environment for comfortable play. GW staff, in my experiences, are typically worse then car salesmen and telemarketers at pushing product, its offensive (not in skill, in how hard they push it at you). There is the odd good GW employee, however.

There's also a place called "Heavy Support Games" in Etobicoke. Haven't been, it seems small though.

Legends seems to be the favourite, its located in Vaughn (as has been mentioned) and its a fantastic store with plenty of gaming and sitting area, and some of the nicest staff I've met in any store. My only [constructive] criticism on Legends is that its lighting is slightly poor and largely provided by the windows. If it had some better lighting, especially over the gaming tables, it'd be very close to the ideal gaming store (in my opinion, at least).

I'm located up in Bolton and I have a car and don't mind going to lower Brampton or to Vaughn, but farther is too far for me.

In terms of gaming at my house, I live in a *very* nice, *very* large house with a massive, mostly empty basement, but I don't have any terrain yet. Have tables downstairs and adequate lighting, but again no terrain. I wouldn't mind having anyone over to game as long as I've played before with you (at legends or whatever) at least once - ie, have met you in person.

Is anyone near me? For example, in Brampton or similar?

The GW in Burlington is five minutes away from me, but I don't like GWs. The employees are overbearing and the 'regulars' it attracts are among the most irritating people in the world - can't stand them for long at all. If I have to enter a GW, I'm in and out as fast as possible.

We took a pretty rock/paper/scissor's list and the first two games our scissors beat the paper, but then we got crushed by Rocks in the last 2

2pm works with me, last time i was in legends it wasn't overly hot, plus they are calling for 16 on thursday so I wouldn't be to worried. How about 2000 pts, i'm probably going to be fielding my eldar since the new codex just came out and I want to give it a try.

Sounds good! Dark Eldar versus Eldar... and I may also have a few new units up my sleeve.... 2 p.m. start at Legends. 2000 points.

Thanks for another great event Clarence! I had a great (drunk) time!

Yeah it was a great time, even getting utterly crushed was still fun!

Can someone tell me if that big black dude in photo 6 is on the forum? If he's the guy I think it is, he used to work for GW at Square One and gave me my very, very first intro game about 10 years ago. He's super tall and very cool/enthusiastic about the hobby.

Rythem: are we confirmed for tomorrow at 2 p.m., 2000 points? Thanks.

Yep confirmed, after work tonight I get to try and fit my eldar into my new carrying case.

The black dude is Khal, and he is easily the most fun player I have ever played.

Hey,

I am looking for a couple games in Toronto on either Monday or Tuesday

Please let me know if anyones avail and we can set something up : )

1k-1.5k range.

I have yet to play a black dude in Warhammer. Would love to meet him.

You've never played Brandon?

He's only half black.

Hi, I am new to this thread and wondered if is possible to ask for a game. I live In scarboorugh but can commute if necessary.

I would like to play a casual game of 40k of up to 1500pts this weekend. I just got back into 40k after a few months hiatus. I am relatively weak at 6th edition so that is why I am asking for a casual game.

I see you play Infinity as well

If I'm out I would play with you but alas I'm not located in Toronto currently :(

There are lots of other members that play at Legends warehouse and it's somewhere in Vaughn if you can travel there I'm sure lots of players would e available.

Clarence wrote:

His real name is Khal, or that's his username?

I'd love to just say hi to him. He'd never remember me, I last spoke to him as a chubby little tyke, but I'll never forget his infectious enthusiasm giving me an intro game. He was the first guy to put into perspective the scale of a space marine to me when he told me that a single bolter round was the size of a pop-can. As a pop-drinking kid, that resonated with me and perfectly illustrated the scale, and I was blown away and sucked into the hobby forever.

That's his real name. I'm buds with him in real life - I'll pass the message along

Is anyone avail for a couple games monday morning at meeplemart? Or anywhere in Toronto really.

1k-1.5k Whatever you prefer.

comfortable with 6th and know my codex well.

I don't think the date stamp on this site is adjusted to your time zone.
Maybe he was posting at midnight that's why it seems like it's posted on Monday.

Had a blast playing MRPYM at 401 games today.

Our shooty armies clashed all day long on your homemade terrain table. Had a crucial set of shots via a 5BS model go horribly wrong. Will post a picture


I'm looking to set up games at 1k with friendly players competitive or casual is fine with me.

Played at 401 due to scheduling conflicts but next week ill be able to play anytime Monday or tuesday. Send me a pm.

Anyone here ever play the astronomi-con tournament? I am interested in this wondering what the local meta thinks of said tourney. I see it's at a bar too. Can those who have played it PM me details of their experience. Worth the cost? Fun missions? Easy going, etc

Thanks

I have, been doing it for nearly 10 years. Its fun as hell and you get to face off against really unique armies and every table is a different mission and experience. The only problem is you usually have to make an army just for astro as there is a lot of wacky elements, besides that its the best yearly tournament, it honestly just feels like you are having a fun tournament with friends rather then hardcore competition.

I'm doing it this year as a part of a club. It's not your traditional tourny as there is alot of emphasis placed on fluff, I mean there is 10 poitns alone for having your amry list named, having background written and pictures of the models ina custom army list. They also have a comp score this year.

The mission are not book missions, they are very story driven and have alot of interesting special rules and victory conditions, about 1/4 of them introduce a 3rd army/unit that is not controlled by either player.

It's supposed to be very easy going as the rules are put in place to pervent that hardcore WAAC or harcore tourny player from competing. The best general is a combined score of battle points and your comp score.

I tend to lean towards a more competitve enviroment but this may be a ncie change of pace, if you don't end up going I'll let you know what I thought of it. It's slightly higher than average for a tourny cost (Most are in the $35-40/day range, this is about $45/day) but it's supposed to be huge so we'll see

Thanks optimus,
I am for sure thinking this is a great tourney for a change in scenery. I would like to play some new missions and just have some fun against more fluffy type builds. Just gotta paint up 40 or so gants for spawning and I am golden. Others, let me know if you have experience at this tournament scene. 2 days of warhammer in a bar...yes please! My wife may have to DD.

I'd like some practice for the event so if you ahve some free time on a weekday or weekend I'll print off a few missions and we can run through them. My weekends during the day are packed untill mid July but I'd always be willing to host (table and beers included!)

Let me know

Right on, I may take you up on that. I should also extend the invite to you as well. I too have beer and a table in a newly finished basement.

Let's discuss and get something set up soon as I'm sure both our lives are quite busy being family men and all.

Anyone looking for a game tomorrow(thursday) at legends?

Anyone up for an early Saturday or Sunday game?

Heavy Support is holding a 40k tournament this Saturday, 1750 points. It's 12 players max and is very casual, really just an excuse to play 40k for a day. I'll be there, hope to see some of you folk there as well.

Dark: I'm up for an 1850 Sunday. What's early to you? 12 or 1?

12 or 1 is NOT early

The latest I would start is 11, but I would much prefer earlier than that... I like to start early and end early so my Sunday evening is free and relaxing before going back to the office on Monday.

Let me know if you can roll out of bed any earlier than lunchtime

Would love to, but can't get out of work until late :(. I want another crack at the Knight!

Ya I could do 11, thing is I'm helping someone move Saturday night a ways out of town so a 9am start wouldn't help me. Did I hear Rythem's rocking a giant robot? What's its purpose? Infantry killer? Anti tank?

Depends on how you equip it, i run it with 2 scatter lasers (4 str 6 shots each for the laser lock/anti air role), the suncannon ( 3 str 6 small blasts) and a scattershield ( 5+ invul which cases the shooter to take blind tests). You can also run it with 2 wraithcannons which are str 10 ap 2 and cause instant death on a wound of 6 no matter the toughness of the model getting hit. So it can fill either roll pretty easily, though it is pretty expensive to field, luckily the rest of the codex got cheaper to make room for it .

That's what i hope people think, because if they are firing at it they are ignoring the rest of the army. Plus if you don't kill it theres a good chance I can regen it's wounds during my turn, and give it a 2+ save instead of 3+. Now if it's competitive or not I have no idea but as long as it stands 9 inches tall in the middle of my army it tends to draw a lot more attention than my smaller units.

I had no idea what to do with the stupid thing. It was too tough to melee attack and has too many wounds to waste a whole turn shooting it.... But ignoring it resulted in it killing 2/3 of my vehicles and an infantry unit. He even joined the end of a melee combat just for the fun of it. It is not easy to kill or ignore.

Okay. 11 am on Sunday at Legends? What point value?

Poison, lots and lots of poison shots.

11 sounds good. 1850? I'm pretty excited since I just finished basic painting of my entire army (minus required touch up work).

What army will you be playing?

Ahh watch out, he's going to tailor his list...

Did some mathhammer, would take around 100+ poison shots hitting, wounding, and me saving on average for the wraithknight to go down in 1 turn of shooting, seems pretty doable for a DE army.

Not sure how you're getting 100+ poison shots though...
a venom has 12 shots.
BS 4 so 8 hit on average.
4 wounds on average, 1.3333 go through since you have a 3+.
6 wounds on the WraithKnight/1.333 is 4.5 venoms
4.5 venoms is around 54 venom shots which is totally doable.

If you're casting shrouded on it then it's not even really worth shooting at.

depending on if I have first turn or not I"m either trying to "hide" it in a ruin for 4+ cover and 3+ armour. Or i'm casting protect on it for a 2+ armour save and seeing how far terminator armour takes it

I don't know, it's going to kill one thing a turn at most and there's probably easier targets out there for a DE player.
If you do cast shrouded then I don't even see a point of shooting at it lol.
Btw you can't fire 3 weapons so 2 scatter lasers and the suncannon might be a waste.

I think the best option is probably just a stock wraithknight though.

It fills 2 rolls with it's load out, 2 scatter lasers for air targets, or 1 scatter laser to twin-link the suncannon. I still basically refuse to use flyers so I need to come up with anti air somehow, and the scatter laser still seems like a good option for anti air to me.

I don't mind fessing up, at this point I'm still playing for fun until I figure the game out better, im pretty new and my Orks havnt been very kind to me yet. I'm guessing your brining dark eldar?

Anyone for 1k on monday morning?

Not sure yet.... Probably will bring DE..... Maybe with some Eldar brothers..... Actually, maybe my Nids.... I'm not letting you in on anything that will help with 'tailoring' your list

See you Sunday morning!

He's probably going to see if DE or nids are better muwhahaha

Scatter laser is ok against air I guess, with twin-linked but S6 is kinda still hard to glance a plane down with 8 shots from 1 thing.

Dark: sorry guy I'm in London right now and turns out my brother and his wife here are going to have their spawn today. I don't think there is any way I'll be in TO tomorrow morn.

Just wanted to give you a heads up as soon as i knew in case you can set something else up

Do you or anyone else wanna play this week? I would have to shoot for after work

Looks like my Dark Eldar have put the fear of poisonous pain in yet another Ork Commander.....

Anyone else up for gaming tomorrow? I could do early morning at my place if you want early start and early finish. Or 11 am at Legends.

Let me know.

If only I had the stat line of Ghazkhull

Anyone? Sunday morning game or two? Rythem? Optimus? Spender? Anyone else?

Normally I'd be all over that but sadly it's fathers day so my day is full of cooking and family gatherings. I should be free sometime during the week if there is any interest.

Ya dark and/or Rythem I'm good this week for games, been busy lately. Anyone for a game Monday?

I'm no good for monday, have work all day and then my gf's family fathers day. Plus most stores aren't open on mondays, which makes it difficult to game.

I'm open on Mondays

I should be able to get off work by early afternoon....

I can be in legends area around 530. I have an all day training Monday. That work dark?

I work Sunday through Thursday, 3pm to 11pm. Otherwise I'm generally free (except tomorrow). I live and work near Bolton, though I have my own car.

Seems like lots of games going on these weekends wish I was available to play

Well dark you and or Rythem up for game Tues?

I can do Tuesday easily enough

I would like to get a game in Monday. I think 5:30 is too late.

AJ: are you able to do more than 1000 points? I don't like 1000 point games. I need to do at least 1500, but prefer 1850 or 2000.

So anyone good for a 2:30 pm start tomorrow (Monday)?

Let me know.

Amazing: what time were you thinking on Tuesday?

530 is usually earliest I can start it up unless im going to do some recording at home. Its the general workload that I have at the moment that keeps me there late, might soften in the future.

Wanna shoot for 530 Tuesday then? If you can make it dark we can do 3 players, otherwise Rythem you down?

anyone for a game tomorrow morning/afternoon?

1k anywhere in Toronto : )

5:30 sounds good to me, I'll come with a couple lists in case we have a 2v1 situation.

When is it expected to end? I work at 3pm on Sundays, but I'm free beforehand. I would love to come.

Also, can I bring my baneblade?

It starts early Holmes.... And it's elimination.... So no worries, you'll probably be done in time for work!

Just teasing

I doubt the baneblade will be allowed since it falls under the super heavy category.

Regarding the baneblade: darn. And just talked to my manager and I'm good to go. If it runs late he doesn't mind, in exchange for me working overtime this week. Hooray for awesome managers!

You guys will see me there. How do I register?

Also, anyone want to game in the mornings this week? I'm good for anytime between 830am and 2pm.

Ok see ya then Rythem

Rythem and Amazing: if I can make it for 5:30, do you mind 3-way? If you would prefer duel, just say so.... No offense taken. If you don't mind 3-way, what point level? I can't guarantee that I can make it, so if I'm not there by 5:30, don't wait, just play.

3 way is fine with me, I can also do a 2v1 if you guys want to have a speedier game. I'm aiming for 2k if we are 3way, if it's 2v1 I have some lists in the 3600-4000 range that work well.

That's not me this time If I wasn't busy maybe my all death compnay army from Klash might have had to make an appearence.

I'm organizing some games next week downtown Toronto, either meeple/dueling or possibly 401 games if it's ideal for everyone.

Looking to gather a couple people and possibly even do some 2vs2's. We have 2 players coming for sure already.

We will play either monday the 24th or the following tuesday depending on what works best for people.

1k points.

Unpainted is no problem.

Friendly games, but know your rules. Anyone is invited......even grey knights players... : P

Ya I'm good 3 player game, I'm still pretty new so seeing more twctics is always fun.

I may be able to be there a bit earlier today even, if an extra 30 mins or 1 hr earlier start is helpful let me know

Great - 3 way - Rythem, Amazing and DE.... 2000 points. I can start at 5 p.m. or even 4:30 p.m. (and would prefer the earlier starts); we can wait to hear from Rythem to see if he wants to confirm a change to the start time to either 5 or 4:30, from our original 5:30 p.m. I will check the forum and whatever Rythem says for start time, I will be there for it.

I"m done work at 2, so the earlier the better, it will give us more time to game . I'll aim to be there at 4:30 if that is when we are starting.

Ya I can aim for 430. So is this a team game we are doing or we each get a 2k build

I'd say bring a 2k list since it gives you the most options, you can take something off of it if you need to.

Excellent. See you both at Legends at 4:30 p.m. I will have a 2000 point list. I vote for 3 way 'each for their own'... I feel like pounding someone for a change... as long as there is no stupid WraithKnight standing in my face, obscuring my view of the rest of the battlefield!!!

I want to shoot that thing myself and put all my focus into it at detriment of success

Great 3 way battle with Rythem and Amazing... Very tight battle... Had the WraithKnight down to only one wound remaining..... Took 4 wounds off of him with poison from one raider full of warriors and splinter racks. We definitely need a rematch 3 way.

Ya that was a good one, the robot can be killed however you need some luck. We need an early day or a weekend to complete a large match like that I think

Anyone up for a 5 p.m. start today at Legends or my home (Vaughan)? Duel (1 vs 1) at 2000 points. I am really only looking for one game because I would like to finish by 7:30 p.m. Let me know.
