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...

spud wrote:dueling grounds sounds interesting as a meet spot...

In that case, count me out.

Im from BramptonI live up near Highway 50 Id be down for this I know of a few good stores in the area and GTA my fav being heavy support games in etobicoke.I have a friend that plays so that adds another player. Mind you define mature XD

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!

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=130077927056890

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

exodusofman wrote: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

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

tmac wrote: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

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

I may drop in to meet you guys for a few minutes around 1230 or so, if you are still there. I'm working midnights, so won't be able to stay.

Cheers.

Cool, Hope to see you there. We will be at the back 2 tables, away from the LotR players. LOL. I plan On staying untill 3pm-4pm depending on how many games I lose.

Well... its a midnight shift, so I might jsut have a few minis on me to work on. So you might get to see a few of my guys 'in person'. Looking forward to seeing your Red Corsairs on the table.

Cheers

And since I'm missing the Packers/Falcons game to be there, people better show up.

Thanks for organizing this...unfortunately, cannot make it out...have fun!

Unless I'm passed out cold on the Eglington bus, look for me around 1230-1245. Won't be able to stay long though.


You guys will get a sneak peak at my WIP Chaplain. I came up with a totally badass Crozius for him.

Edit: Unless the snow lets up within the hour, I wont be making it. Too long to get across Eglington in this weather, then have to get home to get some sleep.

Hey np Wolf, no one else (other then Bunker and I) made it as well. I almost didn’t make it myself. I lost control of the car on an onramp and almost ploughed through the guard rail. I was saved by a little curb.

Anyway, I got to the GW around 11:30am and met Bunker for the first time. We had a game of Capture and Control. I haven’t played that many games and never played Capture and Control before, but I have to say, I had a lot of fun.

In the first two turns of the game, I was a bit worried. I had two immobilized Rhinos blocking my path and I was bottle necked, my defilers all exploded, he was advancing and two speeders deep striked behind my lines. At this point I knew that winning was out of my grasp. But I held my ground and destroyed all contesting units for the Draw!

Bunker is a great opponent. He is patient, helpful and fun. If anyone is looking for a great game, then Bunker's the guy you want!



I would like to set up a second meet (hopefully better weather), sometime either the end of Jan. or the beginning of Feb. I am open to suggestions on when and where?

Places that I know of:
1. GW Yonge St
2. GW Scarborough Town Center
3. GW Langstaff
4. Heroes World
5. Heavy Support
6. Duelling Grounds

Where is GW Langstaff?

And I dont know 4 or 5....

Looked @ my Schedule, next day off is this weekend, then on the 12th-13th...

I added links to these locations.

Wolf, This weekend might be too early to set up a meeting, but if you want a game, we can work it out. I think i'm free Sat. I have a 1750 list still in the car! lol
But so far the weekend of Feb. 12 sounds good for me.

12th sounds good. I should be able to actually get a playable list together and finished by that point. Will give me somthing to shoot for.... I'll prob only have 1000-1200 points though.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
I can do 1,2 or 6.

I can be at yonge and lawrence this week, friday or saturday. I have 1k of vampire counts and 1750 of chaos space marines. I'll be there if someone from here will be. I really want to try out my VCs, though.

Hey guys, I'd love to start getting more games in.

I play Orks and BA's in droves, soon to have a guard army built too but they're Wargames Factory so I can't play them at a GW.

Let me know the pts and the place for Feb.

More Dakka why have you never said you live in Canada. officially adding you as a foe on MWG

I think we are set for the next meet to be on Feb. 12th. But a location has not been set. Last time we met at the Yonge street GW. I'd like to try someplace different and move it around the GTA. So far Wolf would like to go to 1,2 or 6. Unless anyone else votes for a location (majority rules) we are going to meet up with him. I will also put up a posting on the Facebook group for those that are not on Dakka, tonight.


Places that I know of and their maps are linked:
1. GW Yonge St
2. GW Scarborough Town Center
3. GW Langstaff
4. Heroes World
5. Heavy Support
6. Duelling Grounds

The location will be set by this Friday.

Right then, the meeting has been set by Wolf to be at:


Edit: I called Scarborough Town Centre and we cannot reserve a table. We can still go there, but It will be First come First serve. So far I not sure who is going but if there are more then the 2 of us going (wolf and I) then I suggest that we go somewhere larger

I hope this is not too late but the meeting will be changed to the Yonge store. The STC store is too busy on Saturdays.

The meeting will take place:

Awesome, I will try to make it, forgot that it will be Valentine's weekend, might have plans during the day. I will try to plan that stuff for the evening.

What size game are we playing?

Also thanks in advance for doing all of this organizing, I will definitely be showing up to games, much to Exodusofman's chagrin

Yes I know, for some reason my server puts an American flag beside my name, but I am actually in T.O.

No problem, Its not easy tho, Its hard to get people to meet, alot of maybes and no input. If one new person makes it then I'm happy


As for Sat. I think Wolf is bringing 1000pts. So I'll be making a 1000pt list as well. I still have my 1750 pt list from the last meeting and i'll be bringing that too. I have a total of 3500 pts but the highest I've played is 2500pts. So if you have a request I'm up for it

As for Valentine's Weekend, Does she really need a whole Weekend! lol I'm lucky, 'The Old Crow' is working both days!

I just called GW Yonge St. and reserved the back two tables if needed. There are no events taken place so if more tables are needed it wont be much trouble

Coolio. Dont know if I'll be there right @ 1030. I should be able to scrape together a 1k -1250 list. I will shame myself by feilding some unpainted models. :-P

Since you're all Toronto gamers I'd like to pimp out a big 40k tournament that I am running.

www.conquesttoronto.com

We are running a 40k doubles tournament Saturday April 9th, 2011.

It will be a one day event, and we will be playing 4 games.

Each player brings 1000pts, and they essentially get half the force organization chart to play with. Visit the site for full details.

Cost of entry is $70 for the team before March 15th, and $80 afterwards.

We've got a huge selection of Forge World kits as prizes.

We had a blast at the first Conquest and he hope to have an even better time the second time around.

Even if you can't go, if you could read through our Player's Package and play some scenarios and provide feedback, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you all there!

Clarence and the Conquest Team

P.S: Some players are coming by this Thursday Feb 11th to get some playtesting in. If you guys are free you should definitely stop by GW Langstaff Square around 5:00PM.

I can make it for this saturday, feb. 12th, probably after for 12pm. How long you guys staying? I might stay till close.

I'll be there at 10:30, gonna bring a 1000 pts list with options to go 1250 and 1500 just in case the challenge arises.

I will most likely also have the bare the shame of a few unpainted doods.

ill see if im not busy ill stop buy but i dont think il be able to get a game in.Ill just come to watch people play and get to know everyone. If I do come ill be there around 11 11:30

exodusofman wrote:ill see if im not busy ill stop buy but i dont think il be able to get a game in.Ill just come to watch people play and get to know everyone. If I do come ill be there around 11 11:30

You just know you'll never be able to live it down when I beat you

pfffft as if. Its just most of my 40K stuff is shelved atm well until april when i rock out with my GK again

I'll be there... But will need to borrow some dice and templates and a rulebook. I have my codex and models though. Will have to make up a list when I'm there.

Great gaming today guys and nice to meet you all in person!

@Styrofoam: good game man, we will battle again and there will be a reckoning

Great gaming indeed. Nice to meet you guys. :-)

I didnt do do bad for my first game in 7 years.

Yup, nice meeting you guys too. Next week, I want to face the green tide myself!!! At 1750 points. I can be there same time, same place, next week.

I have some chaos stuff for sale as well, if anyone's interested.

Chaos Predator, Autocannon, Havoc Launcher, Heavy bolter side sponsons - $30

Chaos Space Marine with Flamer - $3

3 Chaos Terminators (metal oop), one with combi melta, chainfist, one with combi melta, power weapon and one with twin linked bolter combi melta - $5 each, all for $10

Khorne Berzerker with power fist - $5

Prices are negotiable in person. I would post pictures but my camera sucks.

Also looking for chaos terminator bits, and meltaguns.

Hey all,

Been lurking in this thread for a while and wanted to come down saturday but I work snow removal so my schedule is never steady. Hopefully I can make it next time!

I'd be in for games provided i'm not working. If anyone is interested in the west end let me know, i'm from burlington.

I have to say the 2nd meet went very well. I met a great bunch of players and had a really great game against 'More Dakka' and his Orks. I never faced a horde army before so I was a bit overwhelmed. But I managed to wipe out majority of his army at the cost of the majority of mine, for the tie.

'More Dakka' is a well informed and experienced player. I had alot of fun and can't wait to play him again. I highly suggest you challenge him to a game.

Unfortunately, I was unable to have a 2nd game with the other players, mostly due to introductions. Both 'Wolfshadow' and 'CGBSpender' are a great bunch of guys and they had a pretty good game.

Now, I can not play every week, but some of you can. I will be adding admins to the Facebook group so that they can create more events I will be also posting them here as well with the corresponding host.

It looks like we are building a pretty good group and I hope to meet new players. In time we can probably hold our own tournaments.

I'll be booking the same 2 back tables at GW Yonge+Lawrence for Saturday morning again (calling them tomorrow to book).

CGBSpender has already confirmed he's coming, if anyone else can make it let me know here or on the FB page, if noone else confirms I'll give up one of the tables when I get there (they won't let us hold an unused table for very long on a Sat).

the yonge lawerence store has 40k nights every thursday incase you guys werent aware.

Im there most thursdays. But I have been looking for other places to go that play at higher points level. Everyone there plays at 1500 and is really hard pressed to go any higher. I would much prefer to do 1850 or even 2k

Might take you up on that this week if you're around.

I have some Thursday's open, but for most of the consensus is that weekends are better.

Also we're looking to meet up at different places since that GW isn't convenient for everyone.

yea its not convenient for me at all lol. but its the best store ive been too. Im coming from north of the city and theres nothing up here. Ill be there on thursday this week, ill have 1850 of eldar if your interested

Not sure if anyone is interested, but over here in Brantford, we are going to have a small tourney for the club. Entry fee is $10.

I can get more information if people are interested. It's more for fun than competition though.

Hey, cool. I play at Heroes World.

They're my comic shop, and it's their fault I'm now playing 40k.

We're doing a 1000pt starter league, Thursdays and Sundays, where every unit must be different (no multiple Kabalyte units, for example).

So far, I am terrible at this game.

Foo wrote:We're doing a 1000pt starter league, Thursdays and Sundays, where every unit must be different (no multiple Kabalyte units, for example).

With those silly restrictions, I can understand why

It's a starter league, to learn the rules first.

Personally, I like the restrictions. It means I don't have to buy eight Ravagers to have a chance.

Hey all i've been following this thread for a bit now and i may be in the city sometime in march (and may be moving down that way after that).
Has any thoughts yet been given to a March meet-up?
Where i'll be i can get to the GW at Young/Lawrence, Dueling Grounds, & Heavy Support with ease.
If there is let me know, it'll be great to have a game and meet a few more from Dakka

has anyone tried the langstaff store? is it any good there

Store is small and too hard for some of us to get to. IIRC, I think I was told they have the 4x4 tables.

Tried to book for Yonge+Lawrence today but they're reserved for a Fantasy Tournament.

The guy said we could show up and there would probably be a table open but no guarantees on time.

Hey

When exactly will you be in town? I will set up a meet around your schedule. We can also set it up for any of those places for you as well, most of us can go to them with ease.

I played at Heroes World a few times. I like it there but it's not easy to get to unless you drive. The other problem is that I find it hard to set up a game on a night thats not dedicated to WH40k, (Sat. for instance) as it can get busy with other events.

I'm working on that now, pushing towards the latter half of the march break, if that dosn't work then it'll be near the end of march. I'll definatly keep ya posted!

OK So here's the deal for this Saturday (Feb 19th):

Place: Two Headed Dragon

http://www.twoheadeddragon.com/

It's on Yonge 2 blocks south of North York Center station, and there is parking near by IIRC.

Time: 1:00 PM (from when they open) until we're sick of playing (they close at 10:00PM).

I've booked us two 6x4 tables.

@ CGBSpender: I've got my 1750 Orks list all hammered out, so get ready for some Whaaagh!


@ Everyone: Let me know if you're coming here or on Facebook between now and Sat.

Working :-(

Boo, fake a groin-pull!

I dont get sick days or I'd think about booking off.

wolfshadow wrote:Store is small and too hard for some of us to get to. IIRC, I think I was told they have the 4x4 tables.

Wrong on all three counts. Store is right off the 400, only one bus ride from Wilson station, has three 6x4 tables, and Clarence will most likely reserve at least two tables if he doesn't have any store events that day and we ask with enough notice.

Used to be there every other Saturday. Now I only go if I have a game planned.

On a second note, could the next meeting location be put to a vote, or at the very least a little bit of discussion? Finding out four days before a meeting that its at a place that nobody has even mentioned before makes it difficult to want to attend.


**edit part 3**

Styrofoam04 and I were talking earlier, and we thought that we might try having 2 meetups in March. That way, if someone can't make one, they aren't waiting a whole month for us to get together again.

We were thinking that if we do start this two meeting per month schedule, we would do one at a GW and one at an LGS, that way ...if people (like myself) have a preference of one venue over another, we can attend one meetup and skip the other.

The dates for March that we're going with are the 5th and the 26th. We've selected GW Langstaff for the 5th, and baring the manager having issue with us asking for a table or two, this will be set. We are still unsure about the location for the 26th meetup, but I believe that Styrofoam04 has an idea for that so I'll let him fill everyone in when he gets a chance.

Sounds good to me! I want to get to know the LGSs in Toronto and surrounding better.

I'm also looking forward to meeting you guys and getting more games in!

That being said *plug plug*:

This Saturday Saturday Saturday! Be There (Two Headed Dragon 1:00pm)! And If you're not there you better be dead, or in jail and if you're in jail then BREAK OUT!!!!

Sorry for making a second game in 2 weeks up in north Toronto, but I've been there before and it's right on the subway line, so it was choice #1 on short notice.

As Bunker stated I'm looking to set up 2 meets in March. One on the 5th and the other on the 26th. I really liked Bunker's Idea of having one at a GW and one at an LGS. I chose the GW Langstaff Store as it is Bunker's "home" store and he has all but good things to say about it, and it seems that Mafty also has an interest in the store.

Now that being said, I called the store and spoke to Clarence (who is on Dakka and posted here about the dbls tourney in April). He says that he is having a four week event in the month of March and that the best day would be on the 5th. His event will take up the painting table and one gaming table. But for one hour around 1pm he will need all of the tables.

If we decide to go there the store opens around 10am we can get a quick game and at 1pm we can grab a bite and get better acquainted. After lunch we can get a few more games in. Or we can just meet at the store around 1pm get and get acquainted (last game we spent a good hour just talking). Then when the tables are free, get on to gaming. The store closes at 7pm, so we can get good 2 games in. (depending on points)

Transportation shouldn't be much of an Issue. Like Bunker stated it is 1 bus from Wilson Station. I drive and don't mind car pooling if you want to meet up somewhere.

This is not set in stone, March 5th is 3 weeks away. Suggestions welcome.

As for the 26th I was hoping to work it around Skarshak

Skarshak wrote:Hey all i've been following this thread for a bit now and i may be in the city sometime in march (and may be moving down that way after that).
Has any thoughts yet been given to a March meet-up?
Where i'll be i can get to the GW at Young/Lawrence, Dueling Grounds, & Heavy Support with ease.
If there is let me know, it'll be great to have a game and meet a few more from Dakka

I drive as well. Like I said earlier, I goto the yonge/lawerence store every thursday. Its a great store. 6 tables. Lots of people. But it seems no one will play above 1500 points, and it does get tiring playing the same 4-5 people every week. (as im sure theyre tired of playing me as well lol). Ive wanted to check out the langstaff store for variety, and id love to find a good FLGS. two-headed dragon seems good to me, never been so Id check it out.

I wont be able to make the Two-headed Dragon meet so if your going please let me know how it is

Langstaff square is a great store, filled with awesome people. I go there the most. Clarence also lets you use the store's paints and model supplies free of charge.

Thursday is their dedicated night, but you can usually get a pick up game without much effort on Saturdays and Sundays as well.

they close at 7 on thursdays though?

Mafty wrote:they close at 7 on thursdays though?

Yeah, they also close at 9 on Saturdays.

Didn't stop us from having an Apocalypse game till 1am two weeks ago though.

Clarence is usually good about letting people stay late, especially because now Thursdays are primarily being used for playtesting for ConQuest

Yeah...technically I close at 7. However, as long as gamers wants to play, I'll hang around after my shift. I live not too far away from the shop and I have no problem hanging around longer. Gasp, I can keep myself busy by painting models or playing games then!

The 26th eh.... thats the last weekend of march! Don't see why not, but i'll get back to ya with confirmation! *Hope it works out*
No idea yet where that event will be taking place?

If anyone is interested I'll be at GW Langstaff all day tomorrow and I'll have my Guard with me.

I can go up to 2000 but don't mind playing whatever point level you're comfortable with

Last meeting went alright, although it was just me and More Dakka. Both resulting with him being victorious. First game was really close, and second game he mopped the floor with me.

When and where will the next meeting be? I am hoping for a more people to show up.

So far, I am terrible at this game.

With those silly restrictions, I can understand why

How many points you playing at Heroes World now, and are the silly restrictions still in place? Last time I played there, they wouldn't let me use my two rhinos, so my list was really crippled.

About the small Tourney that will be held in Brantford, from what I gather it's 1000 points, and $10 to join. I think the prize is 50/50 50% to the winner the other 50% to the club to help pay for the rent.

It looks like it's mostly for fun because I refused to go in at first, but now that it's more for fun I will partake in it. So I guess if you are a real serious tournament player it may to be for you. There will be two or 3 maybe 4 rounds depending on how much time is left.

I will try and get more info.

Cool. I am interested. Let me kno

CGBSpender wrote:How many points you playing at Heroes World now, and are the silly restrictions still in place? Last time I played there, they wouldn't let me use my two rhinos, so my list was really crippled.

For the beginner's league play, it's still 1000 pts, no duplicates, no named characters, until March when it goes up by 250pts, then up to 1500pts in April, with named characters.


If you just want to play regular games, there are people doing those. I played one last week, tag-team against two fellas practising for a tournament.

Also, on Monday, there was an Apocalypse game.

whens the next meeting. wouldnt mind getting together. I went to the langstaff store the other week, there was lots of players and everyone seemed friendly. It was a nice changeup from the yonge/lawerence store, although the yong/lawerence store has 7 tables not 3.

How does everyone feel about March 5th? That's the next day I am available.

Ugh. Guess I won't be there till April, unless someone wants to schedule a game ignoring those silly restrictions.

I am good for March 5th.

March 5th @ Langstaff Square

I'm going to need directions and/or a ride. Langstaff is a bit out of my range.

By TTC:
Go to either Wilson or York Mills Station, get on the 165 D and get off at Langstaff. Walk in towards the Cora's. GW is right next door. Also remember that you'll need to pay extra fare north of Steeles.

If you're going to be taking transit, I can meet you at Wilson station so you don't get lost.

I'm in for March 5th, see you guys there. I will bring 1750 pts with options for smaller games as well.

Extra fare = not sure if I can go. I'm really f***ing broke.

Wont be there for March 5th, and i'm still trying to get sorted so I can be in the city for around the end of the march!
Enjoy your games all!

Anything going on this weekend?

CGBSpender wrote:Anything going on this weekend?

Ill be at Langstaff for a good portion of Saturday

Oh, I might as well mention this here: If anyone has the front Lascannon from the Leman Russ/Demolisher kits, I'll gladly trade/buy them from you. Just let me know what you need and I can most likely get it.

Alright. I have a 1750 list written up, if you want to play that. I guess I'll just ask around who's from dakka, although I know a lot of people at Langstaff. Maybe we've met before.

I'll try and be there by 10am, before the campaign starts.

Just a reminder, the meetup is this Saturday, March 5th, at GW Langstaff Square

I'll be bringing 1750, but can build more or less depending on what people want to play.

I'm also selling my Space Marine army, either as a whole or in pieces depending. If you;re looking for anything specific, feel free to PM me and I can bring it up with me.

Just a reminder that the meetup is this Saturday, March 5th.

I'm going to be there around 11, but I understand there is a campaign or something that is going to be using the tables from 12-1pm, so hopefully we can claim a couple after then.

Sorry Guys, I'm have a few life problems and I wont be able to make on Sat.

In the meantime Bunker is taking over the thread and Facebook group

Hopefully It will all be taken care of before the next meet

Same... no $ for bus fare/lunch. I just got hit with $150 in licencse renwal stuff for my job. :-(

I'll be there around 1:00

Blah, sorry I'm gonna bail today, couldn't secure a car and it's raining too heavy for my liking.

More Dakka wrote:Blah, sorry I'm gonna bail today, couldn't secure a car and it's raining too heavy for my liking.

Thank God you didn;t go. I had some family stuff come up and I didn;t either.

LOLFailmeeting. This one just wasnt meant to be.

Yeah, I'll take the heat for that one.

The weather coupled with the events going on in the store besides us would have made things sketchy anyways.

Perhaps Langstaff isn't the best GW for us to be at.

**edit** I'm still looking for games though, and have a 6x4 table at my place to play, if anyone doesn't feel like making the trek to a GW or LGS, I'm right off the 401.

Advantage to meeting at someones place is the choice of refreshment has the possibility of being more adult. :-P

I don;t drink, but so long as people are able to handle themselves and be respectful I honestly don't care what is consumed at my place.

Hey all!
Due to work being a total tool (which they do well), I wont be in the city for the last weekend of march (26-27), but as looks right now I'm good to go for the 1st weekend of April (1-3).
Dunno if any thoughts have been put into a meetup for then as of yet.
Let me know when ya can

So did no one go at all?

Well lets start brainstorming for the next meet. Since Skarshak can't make it, the location is still up in the air. This one was scheduled for a GW and the Idea was to make the 2nd one a FLGS.

Any suggestions? I no longer have a car so close to TTC.

My car only has gas expendable for work and school, therefore TTC is my only means of transportation as well. I would go to Langstaff, but I'm too lazy to learn the bus route there. Anything on Yonge Street is most convenient for me.

I'm limited by TTC and budget. So, depending on the state of my finances at the moment, Langstaff may be out. I listed all the ones I can make it to before. Other than being accessable by TTC, I dont really care.

on younge, just North of Lawrence station is one of the better GWs around, I see you guys are talking about being limited by TTC, well thats in the center of Toronto and is probably the best place, provided you can get around being at an actual GW, to game, since they have multiple 6 x 4 tables (no I did not read the whole thread just what my buddy linked me on msn)

Excellent. Sounds like Lawrence GW is the best candidate so far.

Welcome to the thread, by the way.

I'll be at Yonge & Lawrence GW tomorrow. It's not written in stone, however, who knows what s**t may turn up. If no one else is there I'll just play with randoms.

Hey CGB et al,

Sorry last weekend was no good for me, had to work etc.

This weekend I am free. I will call and book at least 1 table at Yonge + Lawrence.

Guys let me know who is interested in meeting Saturday morning-afternoon. I will book 2 tables if there is enough interest.

Sorry to butt in but I thought I'd shamelessly promote my tournament as time is running out. For everyone planning on attending Conquest Toronto: Army of Two - we have 20 teams signed up and paid in full! Don't delay and register at

www.conquesttoronto.com

Hey there, More Dakka.

I will be there to kill some green skins and claim my vengeance!!! 1750! Bring all the lootas you can cause I got 2 daemon princes now.

GG yesterday man!

CGB crunched me in our first match, stupid 425 pts or reinforcements that failed to arrive all game!

Anyways, lookin forward to the next match. Lets get some more peeps out for a big meeting.

I'm up for the weekend after next anywhere really (April 1st)

This will also be the weekend that Skarshak can hopefully make it as well.

Let me know who is interested and where you would like to meet. Once I get a consensus of who is coming and where they want to meet I'll call in and reserve some tables.

Are we still meeting for the 26th?

I'm hopefully available, (2K un-optomized points ) list....

More Dakka wrote:

Thats the plan, I plan to be in the city for a few days - March 30th to April 3rd, though seeing that im traveling by bus to get there I dunno if i'll be bringing my gear to play. Either way it'll be great to wage war with ya all!
The Lawrence GW & Dueling Grounds are the 2 ill be closest to!
Let me know when and where and i'll see ya soon!

well I can get my Fathers van for the day on Sat. but I need to know if people are going to show and where we are meeting. The last major event was on the 5th and no one else but CGBSpender went to it. Sorry CGBSpender. If we are not meeting this Sat. then we can set one up for the 2nd. but I need confirmation so I can call ahead.

I've gone over my schedule and this weekend is no good for me, weekend of April 1st is good though, so I will be there.

Just let me know when and where!

Going to Mideval Times for dinner with the fam at 4, so the 1st works better for me as well.

okay so this weekend is canceled.

We will set up one for next weekend. Skarshak will be in town, and the places he can make it to are

1. GW Yonge St
2. Duelling Grounds

if you can come please vote for where you would like to play

I vote for Dueling Grounds. Never been there and it's really really close to my place

As I've said, either is good for me, though I have yet to actually see the game room at Dueling Grounds , shopped there however... its where I got my Weirdboy

So if I have to vote... I'll 2nd the request for Dueling Grounds.
Again dunno if i'm bringing my army yet due to how im getting to the city... it'll be fun either way

I've almost finished painting my 1000 point army, but I'm off this weekend for some army training (woot rock climbing). Perhaps I'll be available for the next meeting you guys have

I could bring some RL friends as well.

I'm ok with dueling grounds. Never been there, but I'd like to check it out. How many tables do they have, and do they sell models and modelling supplies. I need more green stuff.

CGBSpender wrote:I'm ok with dueling grounds. Never been there, but I'd like to check it out. How many tables do they have, and do they sell models and modelling supplies. I need more green stuff.

Dunno about how many tables they have there, but I do know they have a good supply of models and supplies!
Last time I was there (its been a few months) they had said they were expanding their warhammer section, so hopefully you'll find what your looking for!

CGBSpender wrote:I'm ok with dueling grounds. Never been there, but I'd like to check it out. How many tables do they have, and do they sell models and modelling supplies. I need more green stuff.

They have quite a few tables. Last time I was there they ran a 14-person tournament without having space issues.

Someone may want to call and see if there's another event going on though, as I'm not so sure Wayne would be willing to give up space if he has a Magic event going on.

I'll give them a call.

So far we have:

CGB Spender
Bunker
Skarshak
anticitizen013 + a few more
Styrofoam04
wolfshadow
More Dakka

I'll book us for approx 10 people (5 tables).

Anyone else interested let me know ASAP in case I need to get some more.





Automatically Appended Next Post:
OK just called, very friendly staff. Guy said that we don't have to book anything, Saturday is their actual 40K day, and that we should be able to get tables no problem.

I'll be showing up at 11:00 AM to get as many games in as possible, I'll bring 1750 pts and make lists for 1500 and 1000 too.

Don't put me down as a definite. I'm not a huge fan of Dueling Grounds and I'm trying to pick up Fantasy so if I have the day free I may end up at Langstaff

No worries, since I didn't actually book space anyone can just show up whenever.

I've only a few more models left to paint, so I'll try to bash on through them pretty quickly. Not sure if I'll be able to make it though... but I'll try!

Hey no worries Anticitixzen, I have only half my models painted. we are not strict about fully painted armies.

That being said, what point limit are we going with? I have a nice 1750pt army I like to practice with.

Another note, I just remembered it is my sisters birthday, so I wont be able to stay long. Prolly only 1 game.

what are the details for this meet, time etc, I haven't looked at the Facebook group but has it been posted there? When i get home I can check and post if it is not.

I'm pretty old school in terms of how I play, so one of my things is I will never play with an unpainted army. That only applies to me of course... my opponent can do what they want as it's their hobby too!

But yeah, painting of the Daemon Prince begins today! Hoorah!

Where: Dueling Grounds

When: Saturday April 2nd, 11:00 AM (I'll be there then anyways).

How (many points): I'll be bringing a 1750 list with options for 1500 and 1000 games also.

Be there! And if you're not there then you better be dead... or in jail... and if you're in jail then BREAK OUT!!!!

Well I'll be there, but alas I wont have my Orkz with me this time around (bus rides suck). But no worries It'll be great to finally join ya all for a good war or 2
Probably show not too long after you More Dakka!
See ya all then!

I am hoping to get game after game, just now stop that day. You guys up for that? Also does Dueling Grounds have chairs we can sit on? If not I'm going to have to bring my own fold up camping chair again, because my flat feet won't permit me to stand up for too long.

Let the slaughter begin!

Just a quick heads up to everyone coming that I'm looking to sell off what's left of my Space Wolves army. Big discounts depending on how much you buy.

Link is in my sig, if you want anything PM me and I can bring it Saturday

Styrofoam and I just got to dueling grounds. They had a sewage leak and there were cockroaches all over the place so well be at Langstaff instead

Seriously? Me and More Dakka and Sharshak were there not too long ago. I don't remember seeing any cockaroaches or leaks. We left around 4:30.

Neither do I, the place was dry as a bone when I left and didn't see any critters crawling about Well unless you count MoreDakka's countless orkz he had swarming over CGBSpenders Chaos Marines
Good game you two

We got there around 10:45 before they opened. As soon as we got downstairs I kept saying that the place smells like crap. We started setting up when I noticed that the drainage pipe from the gakker above was disconnected. It was pretty gross. A guy came to fix it and added an extension pipe to the trap. around that time Bunker saw a cockroach. I thought it was dead but then it move across the room. We pulled all our stuff off the floor. I ended up seeing 3 more near the back beside some boxes. It was nasty! The place is dirty. We waited till 12 before we left hoping to run in to someone. There were these magic kids who sat at the table under the "repaired" pipe, when sewage sprayed over their table. That was the last straw! We packed up our things and told the employees upstairs and they shrugged it off "oh well"


It might be best if we exchange numbers for next time. PM to the person who set up the event

Ewww!!!! If you what you say is true, that place is blacklisted.I will take your word for it. Ugh. I can't stand roaches or spraying crap. I can't believe we played there without even noticing it!

Yeah I didn't notice that, but regardless it was a dingy half finished basement.

You guys wanna play at Langstaff next time? I'd like to see that place still.

Ya sorry guys we had really no way to warn anyone.

Bunker and I were the first ones downstairs. I was the one that turned the lights on. It is prolly the same reason why no one else noticed the roaches. Because we were there first and waiting for others to show up, we had time to notice these things. We would have tolerated the Sanitary leak, but the roaches no way. if we came later I dont think we would have noticed these things either. I just wish we could have wared everyone.

It was very gross. The floors had caked on dirt and the bathroom looked like a nightmare! Its a shame tho Because the place looked like it had a lot of good terrain and alot of tables.

We were freaked out even after we left. I felt every itch and thought it was a roach. I will not go there again, unless I know it has been cleaned and has some sort pest control!

I feel really bad. I was looking forward to this, and meeting Skarshak for the first time.

As for the langstaff store, I don't recommend it for a large meet. Bunker and I went there after and got there around 2pm.

Right now they have 3 tables and it got pretty busy. There isn't alot of space in the store or between the tables. you are constantly bumping into someone or they are stepping over your stuff. One really fat spectator not knowing his boundaries knocked over my $7000 laptop! ... I luckily caught it by the corner before it hit the floor and before I added a murder to my record.

I have to admit that Clarence makes the store. He is very inviting, friendly, and knowledgeable. And for a small group it looks like a great place to game.

Styrofoam04 wrote:One really fat spectator not knowing his boundaries knocked over my $7000 laptop!

That's Steve. Nobody likes Steve.

Now you know why.

I figured as much when you told him off!

Ohh. I'd better stay outta this one.

Yes I agree. Clarence is the only one who makes that store, other than that, there really is no point in going on Saturdays. It's way too busy to get a game in. Not to mention all the little younglings running around. "Kids no parents, must be a fancy orphanage."

Weekdays are the best times to go, but he's closed on mondays and tuesdays.

Theres no issue getting a game Saturday. All you need to do is be assertive. Styrofoam and I walked in and grabbed a table right off the bat

LOL I agree with both of you. too many kids! But you can get a table. Most of the kids are dropped off to the GW babysitter. If you have a few players Then it is a good place to play, hang out and talk Warhammer. but I don't think it can handle our group (if we all manage to meet) on a Sat. The same is for Scarborough town centre.

heroes world is a good place but without a car it's too far. It doesn't really leave us many places.

Has anyone been to Heavy support? I admit I been wanting to go there for their prices. but since I bought alot from bunker I don't need anything. I have no idea their size or even if they have tables.

As for the Two headed Dragon, I know that More Dakka and CGBSpender have been there. Was it any good? Any review?

Two Headed Dragon is good.

It's a bit dingy, and really they only have 2 tables on Saturdays.

BUT

It's above ground with natural lighting, they have terrain and they're nice guys. Also the Hordes day on Saturday isn't always rammed, so by about 1:00 there were other tables available.

What would you suggest the max number of people to meet there? 4?

So far the only place for large meets is Yonge GW. You would think there would be more.

Styrofoam04 wrote: You would think there would be more.

You would, until you think about the biggest place is Dueling Grounds, and we all know how well that store is being run.

Heavy Support is an option. It's relatively large, not cramped, near the highway, and right in front of a TTC stop.

I'd still play there, I'd just never give them money for anything, ever.

Okay maybe we can set the next meet for there. I should be good for the 17th or the 24th.

I'm free the 17th as well.

Weekend after is Easter and I'll be out of town.

Heavy Support sounds good to me.

@ Bunker, what's the deal with not buying stuff from them?

I think if we ask them in advance we could get more tables. Like I said, the limitation is just because Saturday is Warmachine day.

Next Meeting

When: April 9th at 2pm

Where: Two Headed Dragon

If I remember correctly, we can book up to two tables for 40k. So far it's just me and More Dakka (again). I'm bringing 1750 as usual.

You'll have to call them and get the OK to play that day. It's Warmachine/Hordes day and sometimes they're running Magic tournaments.

Yeah. I just called them all the tables are booked for Warmachine/Horde. Guess we could change it to GW on Yonge and Lawrence.

Some other options:

Tuesday evenings at Meeplemart, but it's a pretty small crowd of people who know each other well, for now. You can check out their website online. It's also open Thursdays and Sundays. It's mainly a webstore run out of a nice airy loft in Leslieville, but they are open those three days for gaming. There's usually a lot of board gamers out too, so sometimes table space can be an issue.

I like Heavy Support as well, and there's also X Planet near a 403 exit in Mississauga, which has some 6 or 8 tables downstairs and 4 half-size tables at ground level.

So is anyone free for this weekend? I was thinking Heavy Support on Sat?

If so can you PM me with cell numbers?

I may be able to make it this Saturday, now that school's done.

I'm in. PM sent.

I'm bringing 1750 pts of pure green pain.

*Edit, I have a thing from 11:30 AM till about 1:00 I can make it down for about 1:30.

Hi guys, I want to get in on this thread of awesome more Warhammerness. I might be free on Saturday, f you guys are ever playing on a weekday let me know

So far I only think its you and I for Sat. I haven't been able to call the place, was wondering if you have time could you find out if we can get a table? I' prolly be working late today and tomorrow.

You guys might wanna check with Heavy Support before you cart your gear down there, according to their site this weekend is their WHFB 'Ard Boys prelims.

So Styrofoam04 and I ended up playing 1750 pts at Heavy Support.

Good store, lots of tables and good terrain. Overall it was clean and well lit and the guy on staff was friendly.

We had a great time and I'd would definitely play there again.

Only real issue is that at Queensway and Islington it's a bit out of the way for some, but let's be honest, we all live across the city from one another, so every place is far for someone.

blood angel player just moved here, play range 1200-2500. Available if given heads up, friendly, semi-competitive and willing to do tourneys.

Near UofT campus

Welcome Hazal. We try to meet at least once or twice a month. But we also have alot of pick-up games. Feel free to set one up if you like.

More Dakka and I had a really great pick up game on Sat. He cleaned my clock. His Kan wall killed every last Corsair. I didn't stand a chance. I think I only had one kill point, I got it with my last squad. I had no where to go or run. So I rushed them up and popped a can with my meltas. then on his turn he wiped them out with out a scratch. Great game tho. I need to learn to counter his strategy.

As for Heavy Support. I loved it!. It was CLEAN, spacious and no kids. We had an uninterrupted game. A few onlookers, who complemented on our armies (well mostly Dakka's but can you blame 'em). The place has washroom and sell snacks. So you never have to leave, lol. They have alot of tables and quite a bit of terrain. The only problem I have is it takes me 30min to get there by car.

Hello, live in brampton but most of toronto isn't out of reach for me. Play range is about 1250-2000/2500(at max) of Blood Angels, really only free on weekends unless given alot of prep time. More of a laid back player, not really interested in the waac army lists, but willing to do tournies for a good time . If this matches your groups play styles then I would be interested in getting some games in.

Welcome Rythem, That about sums us up. Our meets are about having fun a talking WH40k with mature players.

Our last game lasted a good 4 hours mostly because we were talking and swapping war stories. As for waac I dont think I ever won a game with this group, lol. I guess its my job to be the heel. The bad guy who never wins :shrugs:
So far we played a few 1000pts but mostly we play 1750pts. With my new purchase I can prolly go 4000+ points. But we try to work it out before hand.

Now for new business. lol

More dakka and I were talking, We were wondering what everyone thinks about doing a doubles game. I have never done one before. and I know other have tried but mostly stuck with some kid or had a bad experience. But that shouldn't effect us, most of us have an Idea of the other players play style. I think it could be fun.

So would any one like to do a doubles game for next month?
Say 1000pts per player. No crazy rules.

I'm down for a doubles game, as long as my team mate is as evil and crazy as me .

On another note, I find fantasy to be such a spectacular symphony of fun. i know this is a 40k thread, but are there any Fantasy players here? I have 2500 points of pure undeath (Vampire Counts). You too shall serve, not even death can save you.

Yeah that sounds fun to me.

Let me know the date and place you're thinking about, Heavy Support would be good, or GW Yonge.

Sorry I couldn't make it last time. More pressing arrangements took priority. I should have given everyone a heads up on the matter.

I'm still up for the next meeting, whenever it is.

Do to easter it will prolly be next month

Seems like a few new people here. If anyone interested and likes to travel we have a small players base at my club in Brantford.

Can always get a game every Saturday nite.

Saturday 23rd at noon at dueling grounds. Whose game?

On a side note, there seems to be alot of activity here and chance on making a loose rules club to make setting up games easier? Also give a chance to team up for tourneys

hazal wrote:Saturday 23rd at noon at dueling grounds. Whose game?

Never, EVER setting foot in that store again. I don't dig on cockroaches.

Ahh i would but i'm already in a tournie in hamilton at black knight games on saturday, plus it being easter means the rest of the weekend is given over to family sorry mate :(

^^^ I 2nd that

No roaches or spraying turd floats my boat either.

This Saturday I will be at Yonge and Lawrence cause one of the dudes who works there, Scott, is leaving, and before he goes I want to obliterate his Grey Knights.

So I'll be at YL GW this weekend.

Hmmm I may swing by GW Saturday if there will be more there. Anyone up for a earlish game (2pm) tomorrow? If so inbox me.

I am also going to be at the young and Lawrence GW on Saturday as well, bringing nids

Sorry, guys. Couldn't make it. I had an old friend come over for dinner at the last minute.

Anyone down to game this Wednesday?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
(1750)

Weekdays are a no-go for me, as I work until 7pm and I work on the Mississauga border, so by the time I get anywhere stores are closed.

On a positive note, my army will be ordered by this week so should be in and fully painted by the end of May. If people don't mind fighting a grey/partially painted legion, I'm up for playtest games most weekends.

I have no problems playing against an unpainted army, even some proxy is alright if your trying something out before buying. I'm probably looking at a free friday night or saturday if anyone is interested in a game this weekend coming up, Heavy Support is closest to me plus parking is nice, though haven't played there yet so can't say what the conditions are.

Weekdays are hard for me do to work as well. weekends I can only do once maybe twice a month.

So any Ideas for next month meetings? Do we want to try doubles? or keep it singles for little while?

Looks like we have a few new players. Most of us play on the weekends (mostly Sat.) If you have any suggestions for a weekend event feel free to post when you available or send a PM

If you are available on weekdays please post as well, so others that want to set up an event can ask. I might post on the first page when people are available. Either it be weekends or weekdays

After the May long weekend I'll be available Sundays as well.

Don't really care about doubles or singles, so long as we know what the rules are for doubles (abilities covering allies, etc)

Does anyone go to the GW at Square One Mississauga?

This week may be the best week for me to game, cause I might actually get a job. So, over the next few weeks there will be more work and less play.

Right now I am working this weekend so weekdays sadly. Booo but set up a time that works for anyone I got a 1750 list I wanna test/practice with

Hmm know this is kind of last minute post but i'll be at Heavy Support today around 4:30ish if anyone is in the area and wants a game.

gah if I only knew earlier. Wend gw or dueling grounds. PM me fore setup.

Is this group still going? I mostly play with friends but we're looking to branch out a little and meet some new players. Any May events?

creeping-deth87 wrote:Is this group still going? I mostly play with friends but we're looking to branch out a little and meet some new players. Any May events?

Hazel and I meet up at GW Young and Lawrence on Saturdays. meet us there, get some more diverse armies to play against

I can actually be there this Saturday as well.

creeping-deth87 wrote:Is this group still going? I mostly play with friends but we're looking to branch out a little and meet some new players. Any May events?

Yes This group is still going strong, and welcome. So far no Official dates have been set for May. but feel free to post your event. Try to give at least a week notice or more and you should get more players.

I might be able to have a game on the 21st or the 28th. As for places there are only two I like for a large group, and that is Heavy Support and GW on Yonge.

New players are more then welcome, but bare in mind that we are a mature crowd and looking for mature players for fun games. So far out of the players I met none of us are the WAAC type and I believe we would like to keep it that way. I dont mean to sound harsh but we are more about the hobby and having a good time, then 'winning' and drinking Tiger blood.

If you are having a game this weekend and you meet up with people from this forum. let us know how it went.

Anyone attending astronomi-con?

Ravenous D wrote:Anyone attending astronomi-con?

Nope, don't like being forced to gimp my army just because some people want to play Fluffhammer.

Hazel, my phone is broke. I am game for Saturday, 1 o'clock? young and Lawrence?

It sounds like my group would fit right in then. We'll have to get a game in soon, possibly on one of the days you mentioned. I'll run it by the guys I play with.

Its hardly optional, it's mathematically impossible to win if you don;t follow their silly comp rules

Plus, 95$ to win a trophy that makes me the best Astronomi-hammer player for 2011 is a total waste of my time and money. I can have one of my Godkids make me one that says the same thing for free, and it will mean more to me.

Sound great, Let me know which day you can meet I try to schedule around it.

Hello, I'm new to Toronto and definately interested in joining your group and meeting up with some people to play 40k. I live near Bloor+Kipling and am 21 years old, but do not have a car so Heavy Support would be my preferred meeting location. I posted in the facebook group. If anyone would be interested in meeting me for a match I'd also be interested, feel free to message me on here or facebook. I'm available evenings and weekends.

Welcome Guis, We are aways looking for new players. That being said Creeping-deth87 sent me a PM and He and His friends are good to meet on the 28th.

The 28th seems good for me as well. Is anyone else interested?

As for the place, I prefer Yonge Gw or Heavy Support. But I guess it depends on space or events that weekend.

I going to try out my army using the SW codex. Should be interesting

If you weren't aware, according to Heavy Support's website they are hosting a 40k tournament on the 28th, 1500 points. I have no idea how big their tournaments are(or if they even happen, because apparently no one shows up to their open 40k nights on Wednesday). I don't know how you feel about tournaments, but it might be fun to all show up there, and would be good practise for Astronomicon for any who are going.

Interested on the 28th, but better yet anyone game for tomorrow?

damn, my phone is f'ed Hazel, or i would have come out to game.

Ya doing family stuff all weekend or i would of been down for some games as well.

So far I'm Still good for the 28th


Saturday May 28, 2011,

Games-Workshop Yonge 11am-4pm

Back 2 tables

I forgot to mention I'm Bringing 1750 pts

Yes I can Guarantee i'll be there on saturday @ GW Yonge and Lawrence. Would you like to officialize it with a time and challenge Styrofoam? I like 1750 games.

Saturday May 28, 2011,

Games-Workshop Yonge 11am-4pm

Back 2 tables

1750 pts

EDIT: creeping-deth87 and friends can't make it

Bunker says he's coming but only as spectator. (hasn't finished his BA)

I'll be testing out my "Huron's Wolves" so I don't know if I'll be much of a challenge, but I welcome it.

It looks like It might be just you and I, Built-in

Things are still on hold for me, but it looks like I'll be getting more involved around August or so.

Hi

Just moved back to Toronto, and I am happy to find this group. I have been a WHFB player for awhile, and am just beginning to branch out into 40K. Definitely not a WAAC player :-).

I don't think I can make it out on the 28th, but I will watch the list and try to make it out to something in June.

Any chance you folks play WHFB as well as 40k ?

~Dru

Sorry guys but I might not be able to make it tomorrow. I need to do a Job for my Dad. If I finish early I head down there. If others are still interested. I know that Built-in WILL be there. The back tables are reserved and he will get there around 12pm

Welcome Dru

let us know when you are available to play in June and we will set up an event around it

As for fantasy I believe there are a few players. I know Spud started a thread but I don't think it went anywhere I posted the link earlier in this thread.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/331137.page

Well, Hazel and I played today, there were lots of great looking armies there today. We played 1750, and I won by a hair. 10 - 9 in a kill point game, I stole a kill point on a transport at the end of turn 5, and rolled a one for random game ending. In the end The blood angels FnP and Blood Talons just wasn't enough for the Swarm.

and he won the 500 point game we played after

Any games planned for the june 4th weekend? I finally have a free saturday and would be interested in getting some games in.

None planned yet. But I am deffinitly going to be at a GW on the 4th to pick up some new DE. So if you want to get a game in I am down.

Sounds good to me, when is a good time? I'll probably be bringing my BA as well.

I play fantasy and 40k. Will gladly get a game in this weekend. I'll be at langstaff GW this Saturday.

I am going to try to get out to the younge street shop tommorrow afternoon, not to play sadly (I will be the one with a baby on my back). Say hi if you see me.

A little last minute, but I'll be at GW Langstaff all day Saturday. Looking to get in as many 1500 point games as I can in preparation for an upcoming tournament.

Anyone want to meet up for a game this weekend? I would prefer to meet at Dueling Grounds or Heavy Support but can make it elsewhere if needed.

I want a game on Saturday. Heavy support works for me

Sounds good, what time and how many points?

say 2 o'clock? I'll call in tomorrow to see what good.
PM sent. 1850?

Styrofoam, myself and a friend will be there.

I'll have 1500, 1750 and 1850 ready to go.

I'll try and make it as well, waiting to hear if my brother wants to get some games in or not on saturday.

Sounds like fun, the more the merrier. I'd definately be down for more games afer playing Built-in and have a 1500 list that I want to try out.

I'm free for a game Saturday if anyone's around.

I have to be back home by 3:00 or 4:00 PM so a game around 11:00 would be best.

Any location around the city is fine with me.

Anyone up for a game (or bunch of games) this weekend? I need to playtest some builds so I wouldn't mind banging out five or six quick games.

I'm good for any day this weekend, and I'd prefer Heavy Support, Yonge/Lawrence or Legends, although I'm not 100% sure what the latter's terrain situation is like.

Looking to game soon please halp saturday at Heavy or GW?

Anyone else here, besides bunker and myself, go to Langstaff GW?

CGBSpender wrote:Anyone else here, besides bunker and myself, go to Langstaff GW?

Doubt it. Its too far and all the new policy changes have turned it to gak.

I'm gonna start frequenting Heavy Support more.

Speaking of which, anyone want to get some games in Saturday?

Hey Everyone,

Summer has been pretty busy and gaming for me has been slow, but after talking to afriend of mine I'm going to set up an event. He hasn't played for along time and will need help learning the rules again, but it should be fun. (maybe now I can finally beat him ha ha)

If anyone is intrested it will be at:

Heavy Support
Sunday Aug. 7th

12pm-5:30pm

1850 pts

Let me know if you can make it

I've been very busy lately as well, but i'm definately up for some games this sunday. One question though, does Heavy Support open at midnight??

Ha ha fixed it!

I'll be there with my 1850 list. I'll also bring my 2500 ard boyz list if anyone else wants to practise for ard boyz the next weekend.

CGBSpender wrote:Anyone else here, besides bunker and myself, go to Langstaff GW?

Im usually there a few times a week.

Styrofoam, I'm 30 and looking for the mature kind of gaming group you were planning on forming.

This goes for anyone starting a gaming group - give me a PM.

I'm in the 401 & Yonge area, but I have a car.

Welcome Atomic Rooster
You found the right group. I've met a many a players because of this Thread.
Currently we mostly play either at Heavy Support (my favorite) or GW on yonge. As of late most games have been pick up games, due to summer scheduling.
If there is a date you have in mind for a game let me know and I'll set it up. If you want a pick up game just post here and gamers will come

I work just south of Yonge and 401, but alas my car is wreaked. So I haven't been able game much.
I just come across an Sabol Armored Company it is huge! So I've been thinking of taking it to work on the TTC and setting up a weekly gamenight
I was thinking of heading to either GW yonge or HS after work
HS is open weekdays until 9pm and GW is the same for Thursday and Friday

If anyone is interested in this Idea let me know.

Do you like to travel Atomic Rooster? Is Brantford to far away for you? We have a nice small mature group here if you like to play on Saturdays at a club, or my house any other time.

Sadly i'm busy weekday nights, is there any interest in getting some games in this sunday?

I'm normaly free Sundays too, but this sunday I've dedicated to Painting! Going to get my air brush to work some overtime. I have alot to paint lol.

Styrofoam04 wrote:Welcome Atomic Rooster

After work on a Thurs or Fri would be pretty convinient for me at GW on Yonge. For other locations, I'd probably only be available on weekends. Maybe we can set something up for September.

hsojvvad wrote:Do you like to travel Atomic Rooster? Is Brantford to far away for you? We have a nice small mature group here if you like to play on Saturdays at a club, or my house any other time.

Brantford is far, but it'd be worth the drive if I can get a few games in. It would have to be on a weekend.

Hey. Just thought I'd drop my name in the pool here. I usually play Fridays at the Scarborough Town Center GW, but a bit of a travel isn't too hard if I can get at least 2 games for sure. I'm always looking to get a good game in, mid-day or evening. Just PM me or post back here, and we can set something up (I'll be limited to 1500pts till Sept. 5th, but still, let me know).

Hey, I just wanted to introduce myself. I moved from NL to ON a few months ago and figured it was time to get the ol' plastic space men out for a spin. When is a good time to head by the GW on Yonge?

Welcome Prime
Normally we play weekends, but Thursday at GW yonge is their WH game night. They are open till 9pm. I think it's their mature night. I'm not 100% sure never gone, but been thinking about it. If your looking for a quick game then post here. You'll find players (a good bunch of players)


I would like to set up an offical event (been a while) some time in Sept. any suggestions?

Thanks, I'll likely head up next Thursday and check it out. I'd love to meet some people who play and model here in TO. I don't have all my stuff here yet, I'm short on my game supplies, just got my army with no books or templates. I know, I know. I forgot the boyscout rule.

Sorry about the Short notice, but I wasn't sure if I could get a vehicle. I will be at Heavy Support this Sat Sept. 17th if anyone is interested in a game.

I'd like to pay a big game of 2000pts

I'm pretty sure this saturday 17th at Heavy Support is their 40k tournie. Having never been to one of their tounie's i'm not sure how busy that is and if there will be free tables, but if there is I can make it with 2000pts of BA.

Damn, Thanks Rythem.

Bunker's been to one there before, he said that there wasn't many players, but alot of spectators. In otherwords a nerd furnace lol

Do you know if anything is happening at GW on Yonge?

That i do not know, just happened to hear about the HS tournie when i was down there grabbing some primer, never been to any of the other stores in Toronto.

Nothing happening in STC...besides the regular 40k Games Night tonight...

STC is way too busy on Sat. The employees keep telling me to go to the GW yonge Store.

Oh for sure. But for tonight I meant, there is usually a really good (friendly) crowd, myself included. I'll probably be heading there in like 3 hours or so.

So what is the word for this saturday? Gonna try HS or hit up one of the GW's , and if so what time you looking at?

Or we could get some games in on sunday sept 18th at HS since it tends to be pretty open there in the afternoon; if anyone is interested.

Anyone for games this weekend, on the 24th or 25th? Preferrably at heavy support.

I will be at Heavy Support on Sunday. Meeting a new player. He has a small army of around 800pts.

sunday game sounds good to me. Any specific time people are looking to meet?

I'll be there when they open. I can't stay till close tho, I have to put in a few hours at work. Suncrusher will be comming as well but he wants a large game 1750-2000pts. If anyone is up for it.

I've never been to HS, I may drop by this weekend to see what it's like. Anyone else looking for a game?

Okay I'll be there at noon on Sunday with a bucket of boyz to play with.

Really good games guys!

Does anyone ever play at Dueling Grounds? Not that Heavy Support isnt awesome, DG just has a larger gaming area.

We did back in the spring, and it was filthy.

Check out pages 1-4 of this thread I think that's where you will find a synopsis of what went down.

If they get around to cleaning the place up and spraying for roaches I'll be up for a game there, the space was quite large and they had good terrain (plus it's the closest place to my house).

Does anyone or would anyone game @ heavy support durin the weekdays? They are open till 9, and I could be the for 4:30.
Either 40k or a battle box game of warmachiene. Let me know. Anyday of the week works

Las wrote:Does anyone ever play at Dueling Grounds? Not that Heavy Support isnt awesome, DG just has a larger gaming area.

More Dakka said it all, that place is disgusting. The floor has never been washed since the place opened, i dont even want to know the last time the bathroom was cleaned. I've seen cleaner Outhouses and less bugs too.

Heavy support is really clean! The owner is really nice and helpful and the greatest reason is ... I have never seen a single Ginger Kid there ever!

On that note Toronto 40K does not condone the mistreatment of Ginger kids, more specifically it is THE Ginger kid who we all fear. (You know who I mean, yes THAT kid!)

Heavy support is really well run. Hopefully when I get my IG finished I can get a game in with one of you.

Thank you for the accurate waver More Dakka

"Toronto 40K does not condone the mistreatment of Ginger kids" Just the one with the million questions who's been spotted in FLGS all over the GTA

Las wrote:Heavy support is really well run. Hopefully when I get my IG finished I can get a game in with one of you.

Finished?! you have an IG army you'll never be finished! Muster up some points and play. 90% of my guys dont have heads, ask around. I'm the guy who plays the headless, traitor, traitor, Chaos, Space Wolf, Red Corsairs. (who one time forgot 3 rhinos at home and played with folded paper instead)

One day I'll finish too.

As golf season winds down I will be getting back to playing more games of 40K.

Prepare to have your armies scattered and driven before me, while I hear the lamentations of your women.

Holy sh**t!!! Can't believe you guys know and fear that ginger kid!!! Because of him I now have a phobia of all gingers!!!

My son is a red head, and he was teased and kicked because of it. I do not find it funny at all guys.

I live an hours drive away from you guys. Why it shows me as an American, I am not sure.

Not sure if anyone in this thread would be interested as it's closer to Mississauga but I figured I might as well post here. X-planet games(http://xplanet.ca/) is running an 8 week campaign followed by a tournament. The details are on their facebook page if you're interested. 1250 for the first 4 weeks, then 1750, no painting required and you can change your list/army every week. The campaign starts this Thursday so register before that if you're interested.

Anyone want to meet at heavy support this week for a game? I can be there for 4:30 Tues-Fri, or anytime Sunday.
