My guess is not everyone drives, so they would have to take public transit to get around. I guess if people drive then location is not a problem, but if taking public transit, then yes location would matter since alot of people do not want to spend alot to time traveling on public transportation or waiting for it.

That's fair,
I actually live in Claresholm (an hour and a half out of Calgary), but, I usually drive in on Mondays to go to 40k night at Chinook.
Sentry Box, and Myth Games also have gaming nights as well. All are easily accessible by transit.

not so for me, Its about an hour killed just to get to Sentry box. Myth is out of the question, thats about 2 hours ride, and I don't set foot into a GW if I can avoid it (and its an hour and a half)

theres a bunch of guys from the SW about a click or two from where I live... most of them drive, but they also have busy lives. I've tried going to sentry box on sundays but the schedule never works out for me (the real reason I never been there for gaming)

Yo Yo Yo! Don't forget about 'ol murdog! Sunday at the box doesn't work well for me either, a handful of times a year is all i get out there for.
I'm more into the late-night gaming, as I've got work/school/kids/wife 'till evening/bedtime. Sometimes I can get out on a weekend. I'm in the SW as well, up Bow Trail past Sarcee. I can host, and I've got a car to travel.
Poda, we gonna try and get a game going again? The last time you called about half an hour after I was kidnapped to Canmore for a poker game, and then I accidentally deleted the message with your number. Sorry, I felt bad, especially since you mentioned beer...
I won't be having any glorious, all-weekend warhammerfests anytime soon, but maybe we can try an evening battle... Automatically Appended Next Post: What's your gaming schedule like, CLM?

Post by: poda_t
I won;t be able to get anything for months. I am now a virtual slave of work and school. I however, also have the space and hardware to host.... just... not exactly the time.
Naw, once you said you was out for poker i knew you were gonna have a blast. I had a poker game at my house about a month-two ago, it was a blast (so were the people that became party favors once they had a few too many)
who knows, I might actually get an army painted by end of semester too. I need to retouch my Iron Warriors, do my loyalists and get cracing on my thousand sons. I also need to finish them HW and specialist guardsmen... sigh.... and then theres the tyranids that need finishing...... and the eldar I just started picking up................ oh my.....

I don't always play in Calgary, but when I do, I play at the Sentry Box.
Kickass store, awesome boards, and we have a pretty damn good community there too. Only problem is that I'm not there 8 months of the year. Sundays at around noon is the standard 40k time.
I won't be back until the summer, with the exception being the occasional holiday, but the rest of the community there is pretty strong.

As I've said, Sunday at Sentry Box (from noon on) is probably the best place and time to play. Lovely boards, great community, and a wonderful time. I've been playing there since I was brand new to the hobby.

So I know there was just a GorkaMorka campaign in town that ended a little bit ago, but would you guys be down for starting another one? I've seen some online pdf rules that we could download.
Maybe aim for a new years start time? Give us time to really plan it and have it go for a few months?

Post by: murdog
I'd possibly be up for something like that, if anyone is into evening battles...
38250
Post by: poda_t
well.... what points range are we talking? I could work this into my schedule, provided that my travel time is 30 minutes on foot/bus. I've had lots of other offers to check stuff out all over, but at the moment, sundays just don't fly due to dance practice, and i work saturdays.
I'd be down with an evening battles, but I think my absolute cap might be at around 1K points. Of course, the stipulaton would also be its show up and play, no army list building on site.
That said, only dates that work are, sadly, fridays, saturdays and as of last sunday, wednesdays (until I make some other dance related commitment) if it were any other time of the year, i would be open to hosting too, as I have guard, loyalists, one and a half armies traitors, 3/4 army bugs as well as a decent sized necron force. (fractions used on account of not having a cookie cutter list)

Post by: theQuanz
I could make most Wednesday's work, I have a class once a month that is on Wednesday, I could do either Friday or Saturday evenings.
I have about 1600 painted Chaos, and a Space Marine force started. (Command, Sternguard and a Tac Squad 30% done)

Sunday is definitely Sentry Box. From my experience, if you want to go to the GW in Chinook, Monday is the 40k night.

I just played my first game at sentry box in years with Kingilization. It was sweet, until my entire army was CRUSHED hahahahahaha
I am busy until Nov. 13...then things slow down a bit on my end.
I'd be down for either the 19th or 26th again. Maybe get a little 2v2 going? Good vrs Evil, 750pts each player?

750 points?! What is that like an HQ and 2 squads of troops?

Dont think im going to get into warmachine. I placed an order directly from them back in march, and after about a dozen emails back and forth, I still havent received my product.

There's usually a smallish number of us at Myth every Tues evening, though we are currently mid-escalation league. I don't believe there are any dropins on Sundays though.

This is generally the best way IMHO. Sometimes there aren't the greatest deals , but every now and again you will find a fantastic deal. I remember buying 10x metal immortals for my necrons about a year ago for something like $100 whereas GW was charging $20~ per model.

S'up. I live in Calgary (NE Whitehorn) and have been looking for people to play games with. I'm not very well versed in the playing of the games. In the 11 years I've been in the hobby I've only ever played 3 games of 500pts, so I'm not terribly comfortable with dropping by a place and looking to play a game with people who most likely play with much larger armies and are much more experienced. I can drive anywhere almost anytime.
Funny story, someone invited me down to Sentry Box one Sunday several months ago but when I went, he either wasn't there or wasn't making himself known to me. So I drove down there and back for nothing.

At Myth games, which is quite close to you, there will likely be people willing to accomodate. There's this kid that was born about the same time you got in, and there's people willing to help him learn the game. People are around on Tuesday evenings mostly. Most of us are willing to match whatever you might have. For the next month or so people will likely be focusing on league games, but there's a couple people not in the league, and some people might be willing to just play a game anyways, myself included. To back that up, I'm the guy with Invaders marines/Grey Knights, and if I'm not already committed to a game, I'll play whomever presents themselves as an opponent.

privateer press still has issues with satisfying demand. That said, if you want to get into khador, i have the khador starter with a 6 riflemen and 4 mechanics, a deck of cards, rulebook and a set of hard-sleeves.
As for the second hand, I bought about 2?? kilo of miniatures. 6 of them were NIB csm 2-3 editions old, about 10 winged nightlords, 13 odd nurglings, kharn.... about 20 old plastic CSM--well painted i might add, a well-converted nurgle dreadnought, a greater daemon of nurgle.... the list goes on, cost me $50.
As for not knowing how to play, its not a big deal, I'm still trying to pick it up as well: by the time I come round to playing again, hott damn, i've forgotten the half of it. That said, 500 points is very tiny, 750-1000 sounds better... unless of course you don't have the models to make up the difference in points, in which case, I think the most of us also have spare armies/models to bring it up to the desired pointage.

I play Orks. I may have enough for a 750, but I'm not 100% sure. I started this hobby to paint only and just recently decided to try gaming. I've collected whatever I liked the look of and any armies I've managed to make was by accident. I would also like to play my Nids, Lizardmen, Skaven and HE, but I don't have enough troops yet.
I'd love to give my Orks some more action, I'm just rather uncomfortable walking up to a stranger and asking them to be patient with me 'cause I've seen some pretty hardcore gamers that I'm sure would scoff at me.

Calgary has a pretty good community and when I learned about a year and a half ago nobody "scoffed" at me, instead I found everybody to be very helpful. If you ever wanted to play with the "hardcores" just make it known about your level of comfortability... my buddy mike just started playing Orks recently so hes learning the codex , so sometimes its good to pair up or play around people who are familiar with your army.
Edit, just curious if I know anybody on this board... lol

I'm headed to Myth on Friday around 2pm to play WarMachine - they have a Journeyman league starting that day. I'll be there most of the night provided I still have someone to play against.

Anyone with the day off tomorrow (monday the 2nd) want to go down to Sentry Box and have a game of 40k? Shoot me a PM if you do and we can make a time.

I'm a little disappointed I completely ignored the whole 'Find a Game' section on here for so long
That being said does anyone actually play during the week? I work 20+ hours saturday and sunday so unless I book time off its pretty much a no-go

I play during the week, but it's pretty much late-night gaming as I've got a wife and kid. Also about to have another any minute now, but after it gets squeezed out I'll be back in business. How do you feel about 10:00 starts? Where abouts are you in the city?

I'm deep south. Evercreek bluffs to be specific. As far as getting a game in i actually don't have an army at the moment save for my renegade guard that are a wip. When I get a legal force done I'd love to have a game. What's the usual points limit for a game?

Post by: poda_t
usual point's limit is what people decide on, same thing with the legality... as for armies.... well.. i have thousand sons, iron warriors, loyalist marines, non-GW IG, tyranids, and i might have enough of my GW IG left over too.......

Post by: orkboy232
I'm impressed. My comment regarding points limits was more inquiring as to what people seem to play more often. Going off of what I've read here it looks to be about 1500 points.

I am always down for a game. If you have a free night just send me a PM and we can set something up. I would agree that most games get played at the 1500- 1750 range. Sun Tzu are you playing this Sunday? I havent been able to make it out for a while, but want to get some more games in.

Hey guys. I just finished a 5 year dry spell from 40K. I am wanting to get back into it and need some folks to play against, do you guys usually go to sentry box or GW?

Ive been down to sentry box once in a while. I haven't had the time recently, Im just waiting for school to break for spring and see what happens then.,

I was just there man :( too bad. I found this GW shop in the Shanook Mall under the cinema. There were a lot of customers in and out of there, and some kids who play regularly there too. Drop in and I am sure you can find some gamers who will want to play when the store is closed.

Chinook.
And I hate that place (The GW in Chinook, not Chinook Mall itself). Nothing against the people who go there, I just really dislike the store. Sentry Box is much better. You ever been?

falher?

Post by: SonofGuilliman
Bewareoftom: You might have a better chance finding someone by making your own posting. Falher isn't exactly close to Calgary. Could always try looking in Grande Prairie too if you don't mind a bit of a drive.

I just wanted to see if anyone on here was into 20mm WW2 gaming. I have yet to find anyone that is (aside from people in Europe on the Historical wargames section on Dakka), so the models I've bought are just gathering dust. It doesn't even matter what ruleset people are using. I just need to find a group

Post by: Adrian Fue Fue
Well shoot, sorry to hear that, I would try it out if you had a couple armies and time to teach. I will be in Calgary's Shanuk mall GW store between August 16-28... its my vacation and all. I dont have many models in Canada but I need to practice these new rules.

Hi there will be going to to sentry box on Sunday (tomorrow) if anyone wants to play a game of 40K. I'm new to it but am learning 6th. Unfortunately can only presently field around 1000 pts

Hey all,
I'm fairly new to playing 40k but I have 2 fairly large armies built. I'm looking for some people in Calgary who want to meet up occasionally for some games. Any army size works for me. I currently have Ork and Dark Angel armies built. About 2.5k of each. Drop me a message or reply or something if you wanna talk about getting together.
Thanks!

Saturdays work pretty well for me too (most of the time). We should hash something out and invite some more people out.

Just wondering if anyone would be willing to show a newbie the ropes of 6th edition. Haven't got the rule book so ideally a good chunk of the day would be needed. Help a brotha out

Nice call guys, I will check out Sentry Box next time I am in Calgary... Thanks for the ideas

I'd like to, but stuff just got insane. I'd like to say I'll have time on the weekend but.... engineering is finally starting to kick in. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all of the other stuff... >_<
I've even got a space hulk set collecting dust....

Hey orkboy
Wish I could say I am an expert on 6th but I am just getting into warhammer again and am relatively a newb myself. I have been playing at sentry every other Saturday. Have played a couple of games there. You should stop by. It appears to be casual gaming not ultra competitive. That's how I like it so I am going back there regularly.
Cheers

Post by: thejudge
I'm not much of a pro either, but I figure playing is the best way to learn the rules. This month is pretty bad for me unfortunately.

Post by: orkboy232
Now I get some responses  I wish I could head into Sentry Box on Saturday's to get in a game or two. Work has other plans though  I'll see if maybe I can sneak in on a Sunday

Hey Calgary 40k gents,
There is a place called Revolution on Northmount and 14th NW that does escalation league every Wednesday at 6pm. I was going for a while then stopped because people weren't showing up. Latest update is people are going again. If you have the time you should stop by and play a game. The more people we get to stop by the better chances of having some games every week.

Post by: poda_t
looking for people that would potentially be interested in:
a.) playing games sometime mid-week and/or weekends in the SW (I get off at work ~~5:00 PM a few stone-throws from sentrybox) Sundays don't tend to work for me.....
b.) exhibiting patience while I learn the rules again/from scratch.
I have 40k and khador. Looking for non-competitive friendly games.
