I live in Burlington, (yes that city with the worst traffic lights in the GTA), and I'm wondering if there's anyone out here in my neck of the woods?
Sadly I don't drive due to medical reasons so it's hard for me to get around. Getting a little tired of the same-old-same-old at the local store (too many wee ones about) and I'm looking for some new more mature opponents to bear witness to my unbelievibly amazing dice rolls!
My buddy and I are up for gaming on Sunday, The Venue is still up in the air. Its either HSG or Legends.
It really depends on whos going to be at legends. I know that there is aways some one to play at Heavy Support. On the other hand I kinda want to check out Legends ( I have no interest in playing my buddy again lol).
If any one is interested in a game that day. Let me know if you have preference. As for me the drive is the same for both.
Hey styro, i'm free sunday, and both legends and HSG are the same distance for me as well. So whichever works for the group i'll be there, be good to finally get that rematch from that first game we played so many months ago.
I will be bringing 3 printed lists to take on all comers! 1500pts, 1750pts, 2000pts

Is anyone up for a game this Thursday Feb 9 during the day at the GW Yonge and Lawrence location? Looking to try out my 1500 Space Wolf army Send me a PM if your interested.

Oh you will be surprised when I bring 10,000 points of scarabs!!!!!
But in all seriousness I will probably not bring the oblit spam list, just to be nice .
EDIT: I won't be bringing metal boxes, I mean rhinos either. I've been playing mech for too long now, and I want to feel like a noob again without them .

Automatically Appended Next Post: So when are people going to plan on being there Sunday? I will be there at 11 a.m. waiting for some action.
Legends sells snacks (pop, water, chips, bars, etc) for $1 each. Not far is a Subway, a pita place, a few Italian restaurants, an Italian Ice Cream place, etc.
Sounds like we will have all 4 tables going Sunday! Looking forward to it.

I've never been to the Yonge a Lawerence GW. The Troll is mostly Warmahordes and Magic, but I'm always up for a game, they do 40k on Tuesday and Thursdays but you can find a table open on most days. I've played More Dakka there and have been trying to convice CGB to meet there for a while....
Ah sounds like a good place, I have only been to the GW so far, its pretty decent, they have 5 tables and lotsa terrain, it can get busy in the evening but it is usually quiet during the day, and its one block north of the Lawrence subway. You up for a game today?

I used to play weekly at yonge and lawerence. you dont need to schedule games really. theres always a ton of people there, its very easy to find pickup games. The only problem I found was everyone plays fluff lists and very soft lists. So people stopped wanting to play me, as I tend to play harder more optimized lists

I've only played there twice and we had to move majic cards off the table but it wasn't bad. They have 2 tables that can hold 2 games each, but it's your typical hobby shop (not as stinky as some though)
FWIW, ive been to a fair share of hobby shops, and GW shops for that matter. and the yonge lawerence store is the nicest store ive ever been to with the best tables and terrain available
I think the GW at Lawrence closes at 9 on weekdays. I was there yesterday until 8, where I lost 2 games horribly and realised I need to read my rulebook over again... I completely forgot about going to ground... And the effect of spotlights.

Agreed, its a nice store, clean, lots of tables, and terrain.
Anyone in the Vaughan area up for a game today? If so, let me know. Legends opens at 11 a.m. Otherwise, let me know if anyone is interested in a game Saturday (tomorrow). If not, then I will see some people on Sunday for sure at Legends... 11 a.m.

Automatically Appended Next Post: Yes, it is open 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Sounds like we will have 5-7 people coming on Sunday. They have 4 tables and plenty of terrain. Sunday will be fun!
Legends is having a Warhammer 40K League. If interested, express your desire to register ASAP because it starts soon! It's a $10 entry and there are prizes. I believe the league will be open, in the sense that games are not scheduled for specific times, so people of all ages and work schedules can be involved.

Woops! I am a black lunged son of a b**tch! Didn't notice your PM until now. Send me your email. I'm usually on gchat.
Hey, does the Legends crowd usually have any issues with FW and IA units for pickup games? Naturally restrictions apply to tournies and whatnot, but is there a majority stance?
I have never really seen them monitor someones models at the GW, I assume they would for a tourney, but for a pick up game I dont know how much they would care...
As for a game at GW I may be able to do one there this week.
Is anyone up for a game on Monday? GW is closed but there has to be somewhere thats open.
Rythem wrote:Yeah was a good day of gaming, and I finally got my rematch with styrofoam04
Really good day of gaming!
I got pulverized! I learned many things in that game and made a few mistakes! Good Fun.
The place `Legends Warehouse`Is amazing. The staff are very friendly, the place is huge and clean. The `magic` player have their own section!
I`d like to get more game in there as well
Good to meet Dark eldar elite. We had a good match, I will have to watch out for those Wracks, esp after they kill 2 squads and get that 3rd pain token.
Legends is probably the nicest gaming/hobby store I've been to. Really impressive terrain and a great gaming space with tables that are actually the correct height to play on.
Very friendly staff, I spent a good deal of time talking shop with the guy that built the terrain. It's a bit more of a hike than I'm used to but I really want to get out there again soon. Not sure if this Sunday is free, but definitely later this month or in March!
My mighty razor jet wing and ravager (okay, not very mighty) lasted until the last round. They took a beating, but kept on...well, doing nothing... When you want to come to Legends on the weekends More Dakka, just let me know and I can pick you up at the subway station near your work and return you to a station as well... save you some trouble.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Okay Rythem... see you tomorrow at 11 a.m. I always have change on me, so if you forget, no worries.... I look forward to meeting your blood angels tomorrow... perhaps your stupid walker will be a priority for me this time...early in the game.
Rythem: I just finished making a list to battle your stupid blood angels... now you are going to introduce something new?? Okay.. bring it.... I imagine it will be a tank or mech unit of some sort... I will be ready. Go Trueborn Elites!!!
Automatically Appended Next Post: So I have a 1500 point and 2000 point list prepared for tomorrow.

I wouldn't say 'wildly different', though there could be a few changes. I think I will finally win Sunday. That would be fun. I will bring lists for 1500 and 2000 points. What time you wanna meet? It opens at 11 a.m. and I can be there for 11 a.m. if you are willing.

I lost 2 games and TIED one game with Rythem!!! Yes... TIED.... and if he hadn't have run away I may have taken an additional kill point... yes... when my opponent has to flee, it means the Dark Eldar are gaining strength and striking fear into the hearts!!!! he he

Sounds like some interest for tomorrow. However, I will only be going if someone commits to being there to play. If anyone wants a game tomorrow, let me know by this evening.

I can commit, we can have a DE mirror match. 1500 points good for you? I can do more, just like to keep it simple though. I'll be there just after 11. Deal?
Sounds like there should be some gamers for tomorrow. I will be there for 11 a.m. First come.. first serve...if there are 3 of us there for 11 a.m. then I will propose a 3-player game; if 2 of us there - 2 player game... if 4 people arrive, then 2 x 2 players.
Rythem: sorry to hear about your back... I know a good chiropractor.. wink wink... though with the beatings you have been giving me lately, I'm not sure you would want to be at the mercy of my hands!!! kidding.
Anyone want to start a league? Games to be played on Saturdays, Sundays or any other times worked out between players. We could put in a registration fee and have guaranteed number of games. Any interest? I know that Legends would host the event.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Anyone interested in a game either Thursday or Friday this week? I would also like to get some games set up for Saturday and Sunday if anyone is interested. Let me know. I bring Dark Eldar (1500 and 2000 points).

Okay so I have a game at 1 pm Thursday against the necrons. We could get an 11 am game in if you want rythem? Let me know. Anyone else around Thursday? So far there are three players.
11 am sounds good to me, as for sunday i'll be at legends cuz my tervagon is coming in. If people are going to be there i'll game, if not i'll go home and build
Great.... so Tomorrow (Thursday) we have some games going on....
Sunday I am good for Legends as well.... and I want to see your Tervagon!... can't wait to see it on the battlefield.. actually, not while I'm your opponent... though, I guess I wouldn't see it anyway cuz you would have it hidden deep within some ruin somewhere!
Ok, so we have games set for Thursday and Sunday for sure. I will be at Legends both days at 11 a.m. The more, the merrier. Playing Rythem at 11 am and Necrons at 1 pm on Thursday. I will have lists for 1500, 1850 and 2000 points. I feel my first win is coming soon.

That's cool. Just post or send me a pm with the answer when you know. Also, if it's a question of proxies as to which army/list you want to use, I'm easy. What point level do you want to play at?

I though I had the address saved, but I don't and I'm a little lazy to look through the thread, where is legends again?
Legends is at 643 Chrislea Road, Unit 1 (at the back of the building (faces Highway 400). You have to take Weston Road North until Langstaff and then head east on Langstaff until the first set of lights, where you will take a right and then a left at the first stop sign. Otherwise, take the highway 400 North to Langstaff (exit at Langstaff) and then take a left on Langstaff, then take your first left and again a left at the stop sign. It's easy to find. You cannot see the storefront from Chrislea Road, but they should have a small A-sign out front of the building.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Just call the store if you have difficulty finding it 905-264-8830.

was supposed to work tonight, but i got called and they cancelled on me, so no work and no game, it annoys me! :( lol
Great games today! Got my first win in a 2 x 2 game... Nids and dark versus blood angels and space wolves...it was sweet! Then I got a tie and a loss against space wolves. My feet are solo sore!
Is this group still welcoming new people? I'd love to get 40k games in more regularly. I have several armies I can field at the 1000 pt level, and two that could get up to 1850 - 2000. I can do weekend afternoons, but not weeknights.
I have no car, so I'm restricted to venues on the TTC. It seems like people are playing at Heavy Support (on the TTC) and at Legends (car-only?),as well as the Yonge/Lawrence GW (on the TTC)? Sad to read about the bad experience at Dueling Grounds, as that is the most accessible store for me. I remember when it smelled bad (shortly after they had moved to the current location, I believe), but it's fine now - I play Warmachine there occasionally.
Had a look at the facebook group "Warhammer 40k Toronto" but the last post was almost a year ago, so I figure posting here is a better idea

Excellent! If anyone is up for a game (1000 - 2000pts) this Saturday (March 10) or Sunday (Mar 11), please let me know. I can make it to Dueling Grounds, Heavy Support or Friendly Troll by noon.

Perfect - three games! I'll be there. With 2 hours for 1500 pts, that should be relatively relaxing; I just played at Game Summit in Ottawa, where we had only 1:45 for 1850, which was pretty tight
A few questions re Saturday:
1. Do I need to call HSG or the tournament organizer (?) and sign up in advance, or is this a drop-in thing? It looks like it happens every month, so I'm assuming drop-in is ok.
2. I couldn't find any "tournament rules" anywhere (HSG forums are down, and the link for "event rules" just brings me back to the main page). The event says that fully painted is not required, but other than that has no details. Is this just "standard 40k", standard missions etc.? Are (non-superheavy) IA / FW models and rules allowed?'
Thanks for any info you can give me. I can always just show up with a standard 40k tournament list this month, and chat with the TO for next time. I mostly want to get games in; I'm not too concerned about bringing a diamond-hard list.

Standard codex only so no IA/FW. He uses random scenarios from the rule book. Prize money is split amongst 1st/2nd/3rd/best sportsman(seperate vote). It's a pretty low key tournament and non competitive, there were only 6 people last time I was there, although it seems like I'm always out of town the weekend of the tournament (this month included).

I'm going to show up with my nids, prob is that none of the tgaunts have weps on them right now so idk if i can use them considering they won't be wysiwyg.
Just to let everyone know, I have my first two official solo victories after having slaughtered the Necrons yesterday. Yes, it felt very good. The games were super close and fun!

Good luck this weekend at the tourney!
Wait so this mean no game on Sunday?

if you dont mind a proxy or two and im not working (which I wont know until sunday morning) Ill do HS if no one else offers up a game for you optimus. (the joys of living within walking distance of HS makes it the optimal choice for me)

Not just Crons, my CSM, and my Vampires keep losing. Come on someone give me 20 loses in a row! Man this streak feels so good. I don't think anyone has ever done this before, let alone man enough to admit it.

I can do either. JonST, wanna do Legends?
CGB I'll play your cron's, I'll give you a chance too, I don't feel like playing razor spam
oh shucks! I am in a nice resort overlooking the water and being treated like royalty.... and all I can think of is "I wish I was around this weekend for some Warhammer!!!!".... don't tell my wife though! he he Have fun guys.
Oh, Rythem: by the way, the new Tyranid models are so nice, I bought them all!!! Yes, I will be starting a Tyranid army for a bit of variety.
More Dakka: You should quit your day job dude... I have at least 3 months worth of painting for you to do!
so ya i got screwed by the 427 being closed today, left at 11am for the tournie and made it into Toronto by 1pm. 2 hrs to do a 20 min drive..... So anyone up for some regualr games sunday at Legends 11am?

The tournament at HS today was good fun. In addition to facing an IG mech list, I got to play against two armies I haven't faced before: new Necrons, and Grey Knights. Learned a lot: especially how difficult it is to down a Necron Overlord on a flying AV13 chair; also how difficult it is to scrape even a few KP out of Grey Knights!
Everyone was great, and other than starting late and running over time (not unusual issues with tournaments) the organization was good.
Thanks to all of you who were there: it was great to meet you!

I'm in, I'll see you there
ugh.. so at this point i'm sick at both ends, so i doubt i'll be able to come game today. I'm popping some gravol and heading back to bed, let this be a leason to everyone, don't let your gf make you seafood pasta for dinner if she's not sure what she's doing... :(
Anyone up for games this week? I am back from my weekend excursion and ready to play. I have Monday off, Tuesday off, Wednesday off and Friday off.... sooooo.... help me fill my days with Warhammer 40K bliss.
Welcome back, i'm free tuesday/wednesday. So either day or both is fine with me, i'm probaby going to spend monday teaching my gf how to cook seafood so i don't have another sunday like this one.

Are those places close for you? You are in Woodbridge? Where are these places?
Well if you want to play me at friendly troll I can do whenever tomorrow morning/afternoon as long as I am out of there by 530ish - I have to be at work at 7
Automatically Appended Next Post: If we're going to game, I prefer to avoid rush hour traffic. So 2 or 3pm would be ideal to meet up.
Starting at 2 or 3 is too late for me. Would just allow one game and then traffic for the drive home.

I could do 12 noon start if you want to give me another crack at those wolves. Is there parking at the place?
Yeah sounds good, I can do a game at 12 with ya if you want DEE. Just let me know by like 10am or so if your in for a game.
Automatically Appended Next Post: No idea on the parking, usually in that area you either park on the street or a side street, but as I have never been to FT I couldnt say for sure.

Okay. I am confirming that I will be there for 12 noon. It looks like maybe CGBSpender will be coming to play you at 2 pm, which should give us enough time for our game.
Should be good, and to think I almost picked up a pair of razorbacks today which would have been so very helpful agaist your vehicle swarm lol... coulda woulda shoulda
optimusprime14 wrote:If one of you guys want to stick around, I can do a game at FT around 5:30
There is parking in front of FT, there's a few spots but at 12 it shouldn't be hard to get one
I'll stick around at 5:30 since that's rush hour .
Automatically Appended Next Post: I don't think FT is open. I tried calling them just now and they're not picking up, also DEE was there at around 12, and the doors were closed...
I will never go to the Friendly Troll again. JonST and I were there and it never opened. I called the store at 1:30 p.m. and still noone had answered. Spender called the store at 2:00 p.m. and they still were not open. I called and spoke with the guy at the store at 4:45 p.m. and he informed me that despite supposed to be open at certain times, they don't list business hours because he has not established set hours with his employees. He actually told me that they are all students, so sometimes they just don't show up to open the store, or they just say they were sick. So the later you arrive, the better the chance of the store being open. Can you believe the business model this guy is working with??? Ridiculous. I will never waste my time again going there to 'maybe' have an employee show up.
Automatically Appended Next Post: JonST and I had a super close battle at Heroes World (Hwy 7 and Warden). The store had a good selection of items, games, models, etc., as well as plenty of terrain. However, the gaming area was a bit tight, and the tables were very low. Further, the terrain was not as nice as the stuff at Legends.
So, my review is that Legends is still much better for gaming, especially given the table heights, the nice terrain at Legends and the fact that the Legend's tables are ALL 6 x 4 feet. The tables at Heroes were not 6 x 4 feet, though they did have one tabletop of that size that fit over top of a smaller table.

Waiting to hear a confirmation from you for tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11 a.m., at Legends. Let me know. If I don't hear back from you by bedtime tonight, I will assume we are not playing. Thanks.
Automatically Appended Next Post: RYTHEM: I didn't hear back from you yet, and I just got a call from my dentist that he may have a cancellation for tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. (I really need to see him regarding a crown).... so I told them to call me as soon as they confirm. They close at 8:30 p.m. tonight, so I will definitely know by then. As soon as they call, I will let you know if I can still do 11 a.m. tomorrow, or if I have to start a bit later. I will let you know as soon as I find out. Thanks.
hey dark, ya just got home, i'm still good to go tomorrow but if you want to do the dentist appointment i don't mind, we can switch it to wednesday. Either way i'm free for some gaming, though i'd rather start at 11 and get 2 games in then later on and only get 1. I'll check the forums again before 10:30am tomorrow morning, which is when i usually leave, to see if anything has changed.

That's a shame, I like them because they are close to me and I've only ever gone at night (they tend to stay open past what normal stores do, usually about 10 pm) and on the weekend (They are open at 12 pm). It's not bad so maybe you could find it in your heart to give it another chance, if only to get a game in with me
RYTHEM: sorry dude... I'm gonna go to the dentist... my appointment isn't until next week and this bloody tooth is so sensitive, I would really rather get this done NOW. BUT, we can do tomorrow at 11 a.m. for sure, if you want.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Let me know.

Let me know. THanks.
Sounds good, not going to say enjoy the dentist but enjoy the aftermath . Wednesday 11am works with me and i should be free on sunday for gaming as well so maybe we can get that 2v2 rematch i've heard so much about.
Automatically Appended Next Post: ahhh jeez lol, now your messing with me.
okay 11 am today at legends. guess i should get dressed
Nice meeting you in person Strangelopper! Your Nid army looks amazing
I brought one of my regular gaming buddies to the tournament and he came in 2nd place! Not bad for his first tournament ever (he must have learned a thing or two taking lumps from me over the years )
I'm hoping to make it up to Legends for Sunday. I have a big assignment due the following week so I'm not 100% yet, it all comes down to how much work we get done this week, but I will let you guys know.
Hey, I am interested in the tournies that HS hosts. What is the turn out like number wise? How many games do you get in? Is the atmosphere uber competitive?
I have never played in a tourny and me and a buddy would like to check out the next one in April. Any advise or comments?
I live in whitby so would have to make the trip down just want to know if it's worth it and what the details are like.
Thanks all
It's 1500 points, $20.00 entry fee and you need to be WYSIWYG, no painting required.
Usually there's around 8 players, most I've seen personally is 10.
It's not terribly competitive, that being said expect some great players and solid army lists. But over all it's pretty relaxed and friendly.
So long as you know the rules for your army and have a good understanding of the rules in the BRB you'll be fine.
I've heard that it has failed to materialize a few times, but in that case you can always get a few games in instead. Just keep your eye on this thread as it closes to tourney time and you'll see people say if they are going etc (there's also a bunch of people who show up that are not on Dakka).
Great games today Rythem... I won't boast about my victory against your Blood Angels...actually, I won't even mention it on the forum... oh wait... is this not a private message? LOL

i just moved in like 5 minutes away from Heavy Support.
what types of prizes are there for winning and/or participating? Wondering what the 20 bucks covers cause i know i can play there for free with a friend or two.
The best way to describe the atmosphere is very friendly competition. Everyone is definatley pulling out all the tricks to win and taking advatage of any tactical mistake you make, but everyone is also super helpful if you have any questions about anything on their lists or any in game mechanic. We had a question on multiple charges and LOS in our game and the guy who knew the most was at the next table and he was more than happy to take 2 minutes from his game to go over the proper rule with us.
The last tourney I went to at GW had 3 blood angel armies that were exactly the same +/- one unit. At all the HS tourneys I've been too, every army tends to be different so the entire tourney is a lot of fun.
If you get the chance to come out, it's definately worth your while.
Automatically Appended Next Post: The prizes are 100 percent of the pot to store credit.
It then gets divided between the 1rst, 2nd, 3rd and best sportsmanship. The percents are on their website and I can't recall off the top of my head
Thanks for the info on the tourny. I may have to make it down to next months. I am pretty good with tthe rules but far from perfect so I hope people will bare with me. My buddy is just learning but is catching on quickly. We aren't super competitive but enjoy the game so it will be nice to get a chance to game with more knowledgeable gamers. Also, what is the typical age of the players? We are mature players and were hoping for the most part others at the club are as well.
Thanks
I want to game... here are the options... I have to drop my car off at the dealership right at Vaughan Mills for a 12:30 appointment. So, we could start at 11 and then give me a 10 minute break at 12:25 p.m. (I would need you to drive with me though so I could get back to Legends)... then we continue gaming until done. OR, we could just start at 1 p.m. Up to you.
Either is fine with me, i don't mind giving you a drive back, plus starting at 11 with a 10 min break will probably result in more games then starting at 1
Kingfew: it would be great to see you out at legends Sunday. So we may 4-6 guys. We play varied point values between 1500-2000 usually... Blood angels, nids, dark eldar, necrons, space wolves, imperial guard, orks and black Templars are typically played.
I kicked the wide out to ottawa and the kid to my parents so I could paint my house this weekend. But I was super smart and took today off work, to keep sunday open for gaming. Mwahahahahahahahahahaha.
I haven't had a chance to pick up a CSM codex yet, so you'll just have to face the might of the Muskokan 501rst, the Emperor's own Lasguns.
Damn, if you can, marry a tradeswoman or a tradesman. Even if you have to go gay. It sucks having to be the home improvement guy. I'm making regular snackrifices for the dice gods to luck on sunday. If I have to worek all weekend and get decimated, I might/definately will cry. And there's nothing sadder than seeing a grown man cry.
Unless you're watching Bambi. Then anyone who doesn't cry is a communist.
Just come to Legends Guis. If you need a ride, we can arrange for you to get picked up and dropped off at the nearest subway station. The more the merrier!
Thanks for the offer DEE, but with St. Patties Day Saturday night I am thinking Sunday is going to be a write off as far as going anywhere or doing anything is concerned. Maybe next Sunday though.
Hmmm, I suppose checking out Legends could be fun since I haven't been there. I sure ain't too proud to turn down an offer for a ride. I live by Islington station (hence why I like Heavy Support), I don't mind going to any subway station at all if that makes it easier for you to pick me up, just tell me where you want to meet.
Thanks for the games today guys. It was nice meeting Kungfujew and Guis. My dark eldars had 2 victories today, so it was a good day... it's actually fun killing orcs! he he
More Dakka: thanks for the beasts... they look awesome! I am really looking forward to seeing the Incubi and Wracks!
Spender: the gaunts looked great... I love the color scheme... can't wait for you to get more done!
Yeah 2 great games today, win and a loss, though i feel if we hadn't of run out of time I might of been able to pull out a tie . Gotta say 16 genestealers with broodlord and 1 hive tyrant with 2 bodyguards vs 80 orc boys with nobs and big mek was just about the most epic fight i've ever seen, nothing like 2 "horde" armies coming together for a bloodbath to make your weekend complete.
And man Walking Dead finale was crazy eh, can't believe I have to wait till the fall again for more.....
I had a great game against Kungfujew as well (great name by the way). Ended in a tie . Funny how this weekend, we had a horde vs horde (Tyranids and Orks) and Shooty vs Shooty (Necrons and Guard). I also loved the absence of Space Marines when it was just the 5 of us.
Did anyone besides DEE, notice my sudden disappearance? I can still phase out .
Walking Dead is over!? That means Breaking Bad's final season should be starting soon!

Hey, I was there with my BA! Just because I was tabled in 6, doesn't mean I wasn't there
Oh yeah... We forgot about Optimus... Optimus meet Incubi and Dark Lances... We may still find space marine bones years from now in the wych tarpit. Lol
I went out for a smoke and when I came back in to farm you for more intel about your necrons, you had just vanished. I figured you'd at least brag about pulling off a tie by blasting my commander with the last shot of the game.
By the way, he's fine. Turns out he was just winded from cutting down all those necrons before and after they fled. The blast knocked him off his feet and when he got up he saw two lone necron skimmers retreating screams of fear echoing in the wind.
I should be availiable for next saterday at legends again for more action.
Dark eldar elite wrote:Oh yeah... We forgot about Optimus... Optimus meet Incubi and Dark Lances... We may still find space marine bones years from now in the wych tarpit. Lol
Don't worry I got something for you next game. I'm calling you out. You, me and 2000 pint of BA vs DE!!!!
I wouldn't mind trying out More Dakka's or Rhythem's orks/bugs at 2000, but I wound't be so foolish as to "call them out". That just tempts the dice gods into handing you an embarassing loss. . I want to see how my all commers fares agaisnt melee hordes.
Calling me out, eh? Well, it's really not necessary... you know where I am and when I am there... I never run or hide from a battle call. I certainly don't get behind in a game and then have to 'suddenly leave' in order to call the game a 'technically' unfinished battle... I am glad to see that my army has cause for reworking your army list to specifically defend against my dark matter and melee combatants. I will simply show up with the same list I always use... I make no changes for Blood Angels. I play them as they come... bring tanks or razorbacks or whatever... bring a dinky Librarian and I will teach him my own Dewy Decimal System of pain! Priests are nice... targets!
Yeah I could be swayed to bring 2K of Orks, but we will have to start right at 11:00, even though I've got my movement nice and fast thanks to my multi-bases I still have to roll 70+ dice most of the time
Just let me know cause if I don't have to pack another 30 boyz and 10 vehicles I won't
I do plan on being at Legends from 11:00 am this Sunday.
Good times last Sunday, but seriously WTF:
Too bad Walking Dead is over for another 6 months, but at least we have this to look forward to in the interim:
Oh... by the way... Optimus... you should really bring some autobots with you... just in case your troops need a faster means of getting away! he he LOL
Automatically Appended Next Post: I will also be at Legends this Sunday at 11 a.m. I will have money for you MoreDakka... and you as well Spender (if you have anything for me by that time).
I should be good for sunday as well, they close at 6pm, so arriving as early as possible is always a good option .
Anyone free for some games this week? I've got wednesday open right now.
Hmmm, never been called out before, at this point I can't stretch my nids to 2000 pts yet, though i'm getting pretty close, so it would need to be dakka's orcs, unless your willing to go lower .

I'm definitely up for it! I just found out about the existence of this store, and it is extremely convenient for me to access. I'm going to check it out this weekend at some point, but assuming it's not abysmal, I'll be there for the tournament.
I like Adepticon rules; they let me field my (less than effective, but extremely fun) S5 AP3 large-blast death-from-above Spore Sacks.

If I didn't have to bail I think we could have pulled it out! I want a rematch!!!
