Neither this nor the Adepti-con tournament are official GW events AFAIK, so I don't know if anyone cares about strict model requirements. I've seen some pretty amazing IG Vulture conversions, for example.

Here is the official astro site, but it doesn't address conversions as far as I can tell.

Optimus: Okay.. no surprise there... you call me out and then you run and hide... no tailored list??? Really?? Isn't that the basis of your newly found confidence? Okay.. bring the old list.. .love beating up on that! he he .... don't forget those autobots for the quick getaway!

Rythem: I can play Wednesday. 11 a.m. is good for me. I may even have to field my beasts once again given that MoreDakka has done such a great job on painting some of them. Let me know if it is confirmed or not.

Confirmed wednesday 11 am.

Send him an e-mail, he's really quick to respond

@Strangeloper The store is really nice, super clean and last time I was there they had about 6 tables going. He has weird hours (Tuesday and Thursday night and Sunday days) but the store is very organized and well put together.

Heya folks, I might be going out to one of these stores to get some paints and more glue one of these coming weekends if/when I have time . Once I can get some work done on my Knights I can bring them along,

I need to finish all the 1500 or so points I have in my possession. I've only built about 1100 and I went and ran out of glue... I want to get at least a some of them painted so they aren't TOO Grey. So it may be a couple of weeks depending on life and what have you. I'd still like to watch and learn though.

I'll probably come with my bud because I can't drive on my own yet, I couldn't say what if anything he'd bring, SM or DW probably. Him and I have only ever gone to HSG and the SQ1 GW but where we can go is all up to him. Plus we've only played against each other and one other friend, so we'll both be starting from the ground up, we do have the hang of most things though.

Syrell: welcome. You guys should come to Legends Sunday. We always have some games going on and everyone is cool. Watch, play, hang out.

I've confirmed days, I'm availiable saterday and thursday later afternoon/evening if anyone wants games. I've started painting my vehicles so the don't ugly up my army. And I've started glueing the first stages of chaos together.

Rythem: We on for today? 11 a.m.??

Yeah I popped in there last night to check it out. Big space for sure and lots of merchandise! Not well signed on the outside of the building though, I'm glad I had the address down. 290 is one of several entrances in one huge building.

The gaming tables are in the middle of the store with all the merch against the walls around them; but there is sufficient space between the tables and the merch racks so it's not an issue (vs somewhere like 401 games where you have to climb over the MtG players to look at the RPG books). I guess I'm just used to DG where there are separate rooms for gaming and shopping Almost all the tables at Meeplemart were in use last night (bloodbowl mostly).

Prices for GW stuff are well discounted (ie Heavy Support levels of discount) which is nice - now I don't need to ride the TTC for an hour to buy stuff at a reasonable price. This may be dangerous for me... . All in all I look forward to gaming at Meeplemart I could be up for a game there this weekend if anyone is interested...?

Sadly Legends is a bit too far for me for regular gaming, though it seems like you guys get a good turnout there on Sundays.

I was at meeplemart a couple weeks back,its not a bad place, and close by just a quick streetcar ride away for me.

Anyone up for a game this friday? Maybe at GW Y&L?

Stranglelooper: I don't mind picking people up at the Downsview subway station for Sunday gaming and dropping them off afterwards, so if you do want to come out to Legends and check it out this Sunday, just let me know before someone else claims my only available seat in my car.

@JonST I'd be up for a game. I'm free 99% of Friday, so let me know whenever is best for you.

And that extends to anyone else who is around Y&L on Friday. If I can get a few games in, I'd be a very happy camper.
Let me know!

Soooo... today I was royally obliterated by Rythem's stupid Tyranids. Yes.. it is very annoying when 12 Dark Lance shots, 4 missiles, 4 blaster shots and at least 36 poison shots fail to destroy one single unit of gaunts sitting on a hill. The last one to live was simply lying on his side, gone to ground, basking in the sun. So irritating! 1 Tie and 1 Loss for me today. Oh.. and thanks for dragging the 5th and 6 th turns out as long as possible despite the fact that I could not remotely even come close to taking back the game! he he... I guess I deserved it...you did make a good point... "I am doing it because you trash talk so much". Valid.

@JonST: Friday night is Fantasy night lol. People still show up with 40k? I wish there were more Fantasy players. I know Thursday, 40k night, is really, really busy, which just shows how popular 40k is.

@Dark Eldar Elite: You too will your very own pet space cockroaches! Your Termagants are complete, and ready to devour for the Hive Mind! Big man, Hive Tyrant, is almost done as well....and half of your Battleforce, including Mr. Carnifex, is taking a bath in simple green. They looked dirty, so I'm giving them a good bath for about a week or two. (What I mean really is that horrendous green paint job was awful, so I plan on stripping it off, and painting them Hive Fleet Behemoth to match the rest of the army.)

I appreciate the offer DEE: what time do you plan to pick up? The last message I saw in this thread about Downsview pickup was 10:30am on Sunday. At 10:30am on Sundays I am usually merely musing about waking up (but I usually think better of it and go back to sleep until Vinyl Cafe comes on the radio). It would take me about an hour on the TTC to get to Downsview, so rising in time to get there for 10:30 is unlikely.

If someone was willing to pop out and get me closer to, say, 12:30 or 1:30pm, that would be brilliant! But I fear that all you early risers would be deep into your second games by then and that would be too much of an imposition.

lol, still good games either way, and you could of conceded at any point . Though all kidding aside was a great day of gaming and kungfu dropped by and we chatted about his upcomming chaos army and i ordered my trygon today because it would be nice to hit 2k points without having to use a verticle rhino as proxy. Though if dark's tyranid army is getting painted up it might be time for me to get off my butt and finish painting my gaunts.

Is anyone up for some games thursday evening at legends? I'm availiable until closing, but I'm not going to know what time in the afternoon I'll be able to start at until tomorrow when the electrician finishes up wiring some lights. If anyone is up for some late afternoon gaming, I'll post or pm you when I know exactly what time.

Kungfujew: I will be home by about 4 p.m. We could probably get a game in before they close... they close at 9 p.m. If easier, we could just schedule a game for 6 p.m. if that works for you. If you want to start at a different time, let me know and I will confirm if it is possible. But it would have to be after 4 p.m. I actually have to work tomorrow... I know... sometimes I actually do work...

also, to DEE, nice blow on the hair thing! XD

Sure dark, what points do you want to play at? I'll set up my army in their boxes to cut down on set up time.

We can say for 6 and I'll send you a pm if the time can be earlier. It's all up to the last trade of the day. :/

Hmmm, i don't know what "blow the hair thing" means but it sounds like you are in the wrong type of forum....

I could do a game or two around noon.

@CGBSpender - I had no idea it was fantasy night but it seems like the place doesnt get busy til 4 and the last thursday I was there there were some guys playing fantasy so I am willing to risk it lol.

@More Dakka - I agree, Beer + Games = Better Games. If only that Snakes and Lattes place had tables, they serve beer.

Ok, if you all are jumping out of bed and not showering and then gaming for 6 hours in a small sweaty store...
...I think I'll give it a pass.

But seriously, I'm not getting up that early on the weekends unless it's for a tournament. It's not a matter of doing my hair - it's that I have a social life on Friday and Saturday evenings

Anyone up for a game this Sunday at Meeplemart at a more reasonable hour of say, 1pm?

I may not be able to make it on Sunday. Planning on seeing friends I haven't seen in months.

@Dark Eldar Elite: You gonna be around tomorrow? We could meet at Legends at 1:30, so I can drop off your models and get a game in. I too don't like getting out of bed early, plus I like to eat lunch at home to save money .

Now thats a Beer!

Hmm, interesting i've always been a bigger fan of slurm. You can't beat a slogan like "Enjoy Slurm, It's highly addictive!"

"I just want to watch a movie with some friends!"

Anyways, anyone up for a 2K game on Sunday? Need to know what point level to bring since it takes a lot more planning to shove extra Orks or IG into the dufflebag.

I will be playing Sunday as will a few others I think. Oh... Rythem, your trygon is in now if you want to pick it up.

Spender: i won't be around until later... Sorry... Bring your friends to legends Sunday... Nothing like smelly, early rising guys drinking Duff and playing games to make them feel welcome!

Strangle: everyone is kidding with you... There is a hygiene code of conduct at legends... If you change your mind, or your Saturday night social life deadens, let me know and I will gladly pick you up.

I will be there Sunday, I will bring 3 lists, 2000 pts, 1750pts and 1500pts

How do you know my trygon is in? I only ordered it yesterday lol. Maybe i'll give them a call, see if i can pick it up on my way by...

Because I just picked my Trygons up! Thought I would give you the heads-up because I know you are eager to replace your vertical rhino!

Lol verticle rhinos look just like trygons....

Actually you would be surprised how close it is, when you lie it down normal a rhino has a very similar footprint to a trygon, and when you put it verticle it has a similar height. But i will concede that the real thing is way better than the proxy, i'm building it as we speak

Hey Dark, I'm actually in luck today. Got everything done much earlier than expected and am going to head up to Legends shortly, so I can probably be there for 4:15ish.

That way we can definately get a 2000 point game in. I want to try out my new all comers list against the thrice accurst Xenos Scum that is th Dark Eldar.

Strangelooper wrote:Anyone up for a game this Sunday at Meeplemart at a more reasonable hour of say, 1pm?

Actually I'll have to rescind that offer: my Sunday just booked up!

BTW guys, the Trygon is a fantastic model, I really enjoyed assembling mine. Lots of individual bits to trim the flash from but that's true for any large kit. HOWEVER: careful when posing the upper talons, depending on how you plan to transport the model. I posed mine with the top talons quite raised/back, and now the model is several millimeters too tall for the "Trygon" spot in a battlefoam tray :( I can transport it lying down in a Landraider space, but it's not ideal. I would have modeled it differently had I known.

Lots of Nid players in this group! Hope to get some Nid-on-Nid matches in at some point, those are always interesting.

At this point i'm the only nid player at legends though Dark is getting closer to fielding his. As for the trygon i found it pretty easy to put together compared to the new terv/tyrano model, and i don't need to worry about fitting mine into a box cause i tend to magnitize the arms( to vary degrees of sucess) on my MC's. At this point trygon is built and primed, should be able to start painting tomorrow and be around 50% by sunday.

Plus nid on nid action just sounds like a lot of nom nom nom.....

Had an awesome game against kungfujew's IG. Waiting on artwork rule checks to see if I won, tied or lost. Please help... If an ind character is in a squad from the start, and the squad is now at 25% of its original number of models, including the ind character, can that squad hold my objective? Second - of I tank shock his gaurdsmen, putting my vehicle within 3 inches of his objective ( some last turn heroics), do I contest it? Thanks...

First anything within 3 inches of an objective unless immoblized/destroyed or falling back counts as contesting. But your skimmers can't tank shock unless you buy them the shock prow upgrade . As for his unit at 25% if it is falling back it can't hold or contest an objective, if it's not falling back than it's fine to do either.


What does an artwork rule check mean?? lol

Sweet!!!! So, if that is the case, I won the game. Yes, I had the shock prows on my Raiders because I knew I would be facing a tonne of infantry. So... just to clarify, I had 25% of my squad remaining, and it was NOT falling back... but 2 of the members were independent characters (does that change my percentage... i.e. do they still count as part of my 25% original?... and then, can that squad hold? If my squad can still hold, then I win. If the independent characters don't count towards the number in the squad, then I would be less than 25% of my original and I was told that less than 25%, even if not falling back, cannot hold an objective. If this squad cannot hold, then it is a Tie. Wow... so much happened on the last turn of the game. Thanks for you help Rythem.

As far as I know unless they are falling back it doesn't matter if its 25% or less. I had one marine capture an objective.

Ya, I checked, it's a rule from previous editions for squad size and holding objectives. I'm not sure where the 25 percent came from though as two different people told me that (one who is solid on rules and one who's less so), from two different gaming groups and in previous editions it was either >50 and then =>50. Although I did learn that independent characters joining a squad do not count towards squad size for moral tests. IE in a squad of 8 if you have 2ICs and take 2 casualties you still have to take a moral test. Also, with the tank shock, if the tank is immobalized during a death or glory, the tank is moved 1 inch away from enemy models. If the DoG fails then the tank stops where it lands and the enemy foot troops are moved. I'll start on the battle report tonight so you'll have to wait and see why all that is important.

I can't wait to read it, it sounds like a very close battle

Sounds like a close game!

I've done the same, I won a game because I have to objectives being held by a total of 3 marines. 2 on one and 1 on the other and had my Stormraven contesting a 3rd. Gotta love that last turn 24" move

Okay Kungfujew, it is sounding like I may have done well... but then you threw in the statement of waiting to see, because it is all important... makes me think that perhaps it didn't go my way. I didn't understand the death or glory thing you did and you just rolled and took your model away... did you succeed at the DoG? Is that what you are hinting at? We now know for sure that regardless of my independent characters, my squad, though at 25%, was holding my objective. Soooooooo....did I successfully contest yours or not??? I want to know NOW... I don't want to wait... gosh... it takes you almost 1 hour to set up your army and then about 35 minutes to move and run them all... if I wait for the battle report, I'll probably be old and gray! LOL I really wish the game had have ended at turn 5... turn 6 was where you killed my wych and homonculus, who were contesting your objective... Ahhh!!!

Definitely need a rematch, no matter which way it went. At least tell me I tied. I don't want a loss.

Hey Dark, if you're around sunday, which I think you are, do you want to hit up a 2 on 2? I'm going to try to do an ongoing tale of the 501rst Muskokans and our game ended in such a way that we need another one as a follow up. . But a doubles would be a better arc then a straight rematch. If anyone else wants to jump onboard then we can see what the better match-up would be, witch either IG/DE vs */* or IG/* vs DE/*. Also, are incubi particularly valueable in DE society? And what was you special character's name.

Incubi are VERY VALUABLE. They run 22 points each (If I recall correctly) and are Elite Close Combat Specialists. All carry power weapons and a 3+ armour save. They were led into battle by a Homonculus. My Incubi never saw battle on our gameday... they were a bit timid about walking across the field in the face of hundreds of guardsmen with feather-light trigger fingers. Yes... I had hoped that with such a huge swarm of men, you would have had the b*lls to actually bring some of them towards me and my objective earlier than turn 6! My one whych squad was glorious. First time I racked up 3 pain tokens with them. he he ..

Yes, I would love a 2 x 2. I find those games to be very fun. We will see if anyone else wants to join in. I don't think I can be on your team though... I want to shoot you... I fear that the recent battle woudl be too fresh in the minds of my piratical raiders... we could experience a breach of the truce. LOL

Oh, let me begin your 'tale of the 501st'... It was a dry, clear morning when the guardsmen began setting up on the hills... and it was almost midnight when they finalized their deployment! he he...

The commander of my army is Asdrubael Vect.

Incubi are the Dark Eldar Death star unit, they are amazing, but expensive, and in smaller games they can hurt more then help due to their high price

I know Optimus and Rythem are usually good for 2 x 2 games... oh... well, actually, Optimus is kinda ducking me right now I think... maybe someone else will step up... LOL

If you live on a subway line... you can always have transportation to Legends... I don't mind picking people up at Downsview station for some gaming bliss! If ever interested, let me know.

ill keep that in mind, but the work and sleep times are what get me, since I dont wake up till 2 pm on most days, especially weekends since I dont get home till 7 am from work.

It was a question of how the vehicle placement worked. Without having the rulebook with us, I didn't know if you moved or I did. If the DoG worked, then your imobalized vehicle is moved back off my squad, if it didn't work, then my squad is moved back off your vehicle. That's what I needed to check.

Hey guys!

I'm the dude running this mini-Astro tournament at Meeplemart. At the time that I'm writing this we have 10 people signed up. Right now we only have plans for 6 tables, but I'm going to talk to the owner of Meeplemart this weekend to see if we can get a couple more.

As for every day 40k games, Meeplemart is a great place to place. I was a diehard GW player (eaton centre and then younge/lawrence) for years and the first time I went to Meeplemart I converted. I play all my games at MM now. The store, the owner, the guys that hang out there, the terrain and the prices are all just awesome. There's nothing better in Toronto!

I've been working hard to get the 40k community at the store to grow and I highly recommend coming down to check it out. Our 'unofficial' 40k day is on Sunday from 12-5. Feel free to send me a PM or email if you want to schedule a game ahead of time, but there is almost always is a few guys with 40k hanging out Sunday afternoons.

If you do drop in, ask for me (Mike) to say hi! I can introduce you to the group of guys.

I hope to see you all around!

(I also saw a few of you referring to Astronomi-con as Adepti-con. They are two very different things )


edit:

Oh! As for the original question about IA models;

As long as the model is modeled appropriately you can use it.

No bringing a stock Black Reach Dreadnought and claiming it's a Seige Dread or anything like that. But if you convert it up to look like the FW model then that's fair game.

If in doubt, shoot me an email.

And since neither my Tournament nor Astronomi-con are official GW events, non-GW models are fair game!

Cool Beans!

Very interested in this tournament especially being able to run the IA and other FW type stuff!

Now I just gotta decide which of my 3 armies I want to play

Hey guys!

I'm the dude running this mini-Astro tournament at Meeplemart. At the time that I'm writing this we have 10 people signed up. Right now we only have plans for 6 tables, but I'm going to talk to the owner of Meeplemart this weekend to see if we can get a couple more.

As for every day 40k games, Meeplemart is a great place to place. I was a diehard GW player (eaton centre and then younge/lawrence) for years and the first time I went to Meeplemart I converted. I play all my games at MM now. The store, the owner, the guys that hang out there, the terrain and the prices are all just awesome. There's nothing better in Toronto!

I've been working hard to get the 40k community at the store to grow and I highly recommend coming down to check it out. Our 'unofficial' 40k day is on Sunday from 12-5. Feel free to send me a PM or email if you want to schedule a game ahead of time, but there is almost always is a few guys with 40k hanging out Sunday afternoons.

If you do drop in, ask for me (Mike) to say hi! I can introduce you to the group of guys.

I hope to see you all around!

Excellent, I will definitely drop by on a Sunday to check out the group. I'm looking forward to having a community so close by! I can't make it this Sunday, but should be able to make Apr 1st.

Just signed up for the Apr 28 tournament as well.

Neil

tell us more about meeple mart, its close to a relative of mine and my best friends place so Im curious. which days plays what, is it more then just 40k, does it do cards or just models, etc.

Ha ha.... I love it.... Took long enough to get you to respond with some imperial trash talk kungfujew's! I love it.

So? My tank shock was successful or not? You rolled a 4 for the morale check... So do your men move and let me land where I ended movement? I think so... They just don't fall back. Right? So I won... Right??

let me see if I am working tomorrow / sunday, I probably am so I cant come, but on the off chance I can, ill be there, though Ill need to proxy a dread and a razorback, the dread I havnt bought from FW yet, and the Razorback is still wrapped in plastic and unbuilt cuz ive been working on my circle orboros stalker

Lightning_Wolf88 wrote:tell us more about meeple mart, its close to a relative of mine and my best friends place so Im curious. which days plays what, is it more then just 40k, does it do cards or just models, etc.

Sure!

Meeplemart is currently open 4 days a week:

Tuesday & Thursday 5:00pm - 10:00pm
Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm
Sunday 12:00pm - 5:00pm

Right now there isn't really offical set days on what games are played on what days, but Steve (the owner) is looking at setting that up soon.

Unofficially Thursday nights are board game meet ups and Sunday afternoon's is the 40k games. Saturday looks to be for more sci fi skirmish games like Infinity and Mercs. But really you can come down and play any game any time.

Meeplemart has the largest selection of terrain I've seen in a store, there is literally something for any game you can think of. He doesn't have that many pictures of his terrain online, but his gallery does have a few. I also did a blog post about my favourite table he has which is very Space Hulk inspired.

If there is a specific game you want to play you should email or ask Steve directly and he'll be able to set something up for you. If you're looking for someone to play a specific game with, he just launched his own community forum where you can post and ask for other players.

If you've never been in the store, they carry almost every miniature line and board game in publication. Everything you see on his online store is actually in-stock on the shelves in the shop.

The only type of game I don't see played there too often is the CCGs, but he does have a selection of various games in stock. I'm not a CCG player though so I can't tell you much about that.

You can read his FAQ for more info on the store or ask me any questions you want.

I'll be there first thing! Gonna bring 1850 of IG or 1500/1850/2000 of DA BOYZ

Hrmmmm... Possibly a DE/Da boys force....

Rythem, if your Blood Angels are near-by, how about responding to imperial calls for aid. I've fought you numerous times, but never on the same team.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
In absense of Rythem not being able to show up, I'll vouch for the Blood Angels. I already know what happens to his marines when the get shot by 200 lasgun blasts, but I've never seen what they can do to an orc horde after the orcs eat 200 lasgun blasts

I'll be there 11 am sunday at legends, and i should have 2k of nids, not a competitive list but it's all i got

Dark eldar are ready to bring poison and pain to all enemies. The Talos has been exercising lately and has been on strick diet. He should be ready to finally get into the action, instead of always waiting until turn 5 to enter the fray... moves 6 inches... game ends.

Okay.. so we have at least 3 guys for sure... Rythem will probably be there as well, which makes 4 guys. Anyone else? Optimus is babysitting... Stranglelooper can't get up early enough... Lightning works whacked hours... Spender? Brining the Necrons? JonSt? Brining the Long Fangs? Guis? The Orks recovered yet since their last miserable defeat at the hands of the Dark Eldar Archon? Haven't heard from Guis much since last week... Hmmmm.... maybe I shouldn't have driven so fast... I think I scared him..

Hrmmm... Team up with the tyranids, eh? Sounds... wrong and heretical...

Maybe I'll try to buy the orks with all those dark eldar teeth they traded for holding the objective.

What points are the 2 on 2? 1500 each player, or an epic 2000 each?

If we only get the 4 guys out... I say epic!

Hey kungfu... I re-read the rules and it appears that my vehicle would continue to finish its movement and your guys would move out of the way.... So I actually held one and contested one.... Right? Say it already..say it...I need to hear it... You issued run, run, run so many times, but your novice troops just never listened...chose to stay cozy on the hills...

I wasn't going to say this and just give you the win in the battle report, but according to the official erratta, you measure distance to friendly, enemy models, terrain, etc.. Just from the base... so the photographic evidence shows that you are not contesting. I want to say that you won, but legally I can't. You'll have to take it up with the lasguns on sunday.

You are right, taunting is fun.

Actually, I'm going to print off the official erratta, cause there's tons of questions that it gives yes/no answers to that we had in the game, for example there's an actual answer to if your wing on the fighter is really part of the hull. Answer is yes

I'm also looking for bits to make you a "trophy" to salute you're first tank shock and death or glory inflicted casualty

I'll bring both armies and we'll go from there, we usually go 1500 per side but if it's just the 4 of us we could bump it up to 2k now that i can hit either with my ba or nids. As for this game you guys played, i say we set it up on the board when we get there and we can get a visual aid to this epic ending you guys keep talking about.

Sorry dark I gotta work til 12 so I probably won't be able to make it out this Sunday. If I did I wouldn't be there until 1ish, besides I gotta let you win some games against others before you get eaten by my long fangs and drop pod terminators again. Cant have your main guy being one hit splatted by a TH all the time it would become demoralizing after a while lol.

@Eternity - good games yesterday man, I had a fun time trying to deal with all those damn skimmers of yours, thank the gw gods for long fangs lol.

I am thinking I should check out this meeplemart place for a game, anyone up for one today or tomorrow?

Vect getting splattered was certainly depressing JonST... thank you for mentioning that.

Kungfu: well that is just plain sucky... in short, you suck. Great game though. I want to inspect the photographic evidence... I think my base was likely still within 3 inches! And if the photo doesn't unequivocally show, then it was simply due to the poor overhead lighting!

Agreed! . Also, I'm halfway throught the report and searching for a cord to hook up my phone to the comp, so you still have today to respond to the PMs. See you tomorrow for turns 3-6.

Looking forward to it. Just sent a PM.

Hey JonST, I'm going to be checking out Meeplemart tomorrow, see how it compares to Legends. I'll see you there if you make it out.

I think I may head there for 1230ish, I will bring along my 1850 spacewolves, I will be the guy with the blue Under armor bag.

Spender: Are you swinging by Legends tomorrow? Let me know please, so I can be sure to bring money and more models for you.

MoreDakka: Are you ready for more models...of should I not bring any for tomorrow? ...and don't worry... I kept your little box with the egg carton foam nice and safe! he he

JonST: No surprise the Space Wolves fear Legends... They will probably do better in a less daunting environment like Meeplemart(?) Legends is where 'legends' are made. The competition is fierce and the battles arduous. "Meeple" is translated into those little wooden dudes used in German games... The spacewolves probably do better in such a 'mart' like environment... while not legendary, they probably top the meeples in the 'war' hierarchy!

Well those wolves gotta find themselves a new challenge, and maybe german wooden peg dudes are gonna put up a better fight than a DE hero who goes and lies down after one little TH swing lol. I woulda come out to legends but lack the ability to get there and work til 12 so would not get there until later. Now Monday and Tuesday I have off so if you want to feed some of your evil space elf pirates to my wolf riding space vikings I would be able to oblige you

He he... yes... nice reply... I hate when Vect lies down! I hate TH swings!

Meeplemart was decent, it had only a few tables which were in use so I didnt stick around to try and get a game in. The selection of 40k stuff was amazing though, as good as any GW store and loads of other board games.

Ah, that was you hanging around my game with the Orks (it was Guis I was playing I think?)

I didn't know for sure if you were there to play or just watch. If you had said something I would have not played a 2nd game and let you play! Also, if we needed it Steve could have set up a 4th 40k table.

Come on down next Sunday and I'll fight your wolves.

Well, we had another gread day at Legends. More tables available than people needed. We had 3 tables going with all out goodness. Today, I fielded Lelith Hekatrix as my HQ, and she was stellar! First game, I played Styrofoam... I can't remember the end result, but I think we tied?? (or did I lose?). However, more importantly, Lelith aided her wych squad in comfortably annhilating 3 space wolf squads to keep them off my objective. It was a great game. My second game ended in a win, turned tie in turn 6, against the Imperial Guards of MoreDakka. My dark lances sucked, but my wych squad actually put the haywire grenades to 3 tanks, which was very fun!

Great day guys!

Dark eldar elite wrote:Well, we had another gread day at Legends. More tables available than people needed. We had 3 tables going with all out goodness.
Great day guys!

Does Legends have a web site? I'm curious to find out more as I'm always interested in new spots to game. How big is it?

Since all the tables at Meeplemart are multi-function and so many people showed up today it was almost reaching capacity. We had 3 games of 40k, 1 game of Mercs, 1 game of Freebooter's Fate, and some large boardgame going all at once. We had room for another 4x6 table but we didn't think we needed it at the time. If JonST spoke up we could have used it

And since you're a fellow DE player, I'll tell you about my 2 games:

I brought my Coven list and played against Marines and Orks.

The marine list was an all reserver/DS army with lots of terminators and marines. I don't have a very fast DE list to reacting to all his Deepstriking was hard. He was also good at focusing on a unit until it was dead. With my small units this was really effective. He ended up destroying me in kill points by the end of turn 5.

The second game against Guis'(?) Orks went better, although it was still a close game. I managed to stop all his deffrollas after he moved them once and just barely weathered the ork's follow up charge. With lots of KP early in the game, I then had to walk over to the other side of the board to finish him off. But his lootas and kannon took out my units as they made their way over and only ended up winning by a couple KP.

Yes... I beat Guis in a Killpoints game last week. It was close though. His bikes were the most frustrating, but he couldn't handle my speed or my blasters/lances. I don't run a particular type of list, and usually try many different combinations. Today I ran Lelith and my Talos Pain Engine. The Talos died miserably in one game and managed to Haywire hit a tank and bash a tank in the other game. Today I had no Homonculae in my army, and I also left Vect out. I have been running Vect lately, but not with any reliably positive outcomes as a direct result. I have won and tied more games than lost with Vect, but when I lose with him, it is usually a significant loss.

Legends is a great place to play. The gaming area is dedicated to Warhammer 40K, and you have no traffic through the table areas. The gaming area is in the back of the retail region, so you are separated from retail traffic. There are 5 tables and the heights are perfect for tabletop gaming. They are 4' x 6' tables (actually, one is a bit larger and we use that one at full size for 2 x 2 games). You get great 80's tunes on the radio speakers, and there are nearby food places, and snacks available at the store. We get a good turnout every Sunday, and typically there are a few of us playing throughout the week, during the day. It is located at Langstaff and Hwy 400 (just east of Weston Road @ Langstaff). We will also be starting a league at the location in the near future. Legends also has a large area for cardgame players (Magic) that doesn't interfere with the Warhammer area. There are also a few private conference like rooms with closed door where people tend to play boardgames and/or Dungeons and Dragons. Great place and the people are great too. Also, prices on boardgames and Warhammer stuff can't be beat (at least to the best of my knowledge). You should come by and check it out. I would love to take a crack at an experienced Dark Eldar player..... I have only been playing since February of this year. Lost my first 6 games, and then had a few ties, and then have won more than I have lost in the past 8 games, with some ties thrown in as well. I run only 2 Raiders and 1 Venom.

Ouch, that's pretty far for someone who lives downtown. No car means I'm limited to TTC access only!

Rythem, can you send me you're list you used in our game?

Now I just need to find the bloody cord to hook the pics up to the comp and I'm off to the races. Also, I need to figure out how to post pics, but that's step two.

Yeah not a problem...

Great day guys!

It was a great game, we ended in the 5th turn, Lelith wiped out a squad of Grey Hunters by herself in 2 assaults, and then she moved on to wipe out a Wolf Guard Squad (taking down 5 Wolf Guard all Power Weapons is not an easy feat), Unfortunatly My wolf Lord survived along with a Rhino to contest, for the Win. It was pretty intense, the entire battle was around his objective. I was running out of Troops on that side. My Wolf Lord(1 wound left) and 5 Grey hunters was all I had there for troops. Mind you on my objective I had 2 full (well rested) units of Grey Hunters that I couldn't get accross the table in time if we went extra turns.

Great game, If things work out I will probably be there for next Sunday.

theres a place by me, islington and Queensway that I frequent and these guys used to come to occasionally called heavy support. not a bad place, abit small and their boards are kept up unless someones playing on them. but its a nice place and the workers are pretty cool.

Ill be there wedensday, though im not sure if ill have my wolves, my DE, my MTG, or my hordes with me, possibly a mix of everything.

I'll be there and there should be at least 3 or 4 other regulars with 40k ready to play Sunday.

OK this is driving me nuts, where is Meeplemart?

I don't see it on the website and google doesn't turn back any hits other than the website.

Also, good times on Sunday. I played a very good IG player and we slugged it out in an armored battle royal that ended in a tie.

I also tied capture and control against DEE, definitely got to take 2x Vendettas, 1 just doesn't last long enough.

Sharp1011 I wouldnt have been able to get a game in anyway, I arrived later than I thought and the GF was all over me to go out and do dinner date type stuff. Upside I did get to pickup some new models that I spent this morning putting together. Anyone up for a game tomorrow at GW or somewhere?

It's very possible I could play at GW, what time tomorrow are you thinking?

Anyone up for some games wednesday at legends?

I was thinking sometime around 12 - 1230 kungfu, get in a game or two. Just let me know by tomorrow morning, only takes me about 45 min or so to get there and I have the day off, I can bring up to 2000 points.

@Moredakka Wait til you get there, the place is still hard to find.

If kung doesn't respond by about 10am tomorrow morning I'll post whether I'm available or not to head to GW (Which gw were you thinking??) so you don't waste a trip , is there any parking there?

I plan to be there on Sunday with Tyranids.

Anyone want to play Wednesday or Thursday this week? March 28 or 29? I am free ALL DAY, each day. Let me know.

I'll be there at 12:00 to play, cause I gotta be somewhere else at 5:00.

You could always come for a game at GW Y&L Dark, face my wolves and their new additions, my list is now 2000 points.

JonST: If noone is up for games at Legends, I may have to come to you in order to humiliate your 2000 points. I will let you know.

Kungfu: Are you serious? You want to be there for 12 noon and you have to be somewhere else by 5 p.m.??? Does that give you enough time to set up your army? So, if you are there for 12, should I just aim to show up at 12:30? This time, if you arrive early, START SETTING UP YOUR MASSES!!!! he he... Okay, so please confirm that we are playing today at 12 noon.

Dark I think kung was confirming with jonst for today at gw 12, though i could be wrong. If he is i'll game with ya tomorrow at legends for 11 am. It's weird having so much time off, though it "should" mean i get a lot more painted.... lol yeah right.

OH... maybe you are right about Kungfu. Okay... so is anyone playing one game with me this afternoon?

Rythem: so we are on for tomorrow at 11? I know... I am taking way too much time off from work... weird thing is that I am quite liking it... I think I actually now aspire to become a bum!

Ok.

Wait were you confirming with me for 12 Kungfu or talking to Dark lol?

Yup I was confirming with Jonst. Sorry dark, I have a break during the day, but after work I need to head home today. I might be able to play after work on thursday. I'll let you know when I know for sure.

Alright I will be there for 12

Does anyone know of any tournament either doubles or singles in the Toronto area that are coming up? I know Heavy Support has one every month but I can't make their next one in April. Let me know if any of you know of any coming up soon. Or of any coming this year that are a must go to.I know Astronomi-con is some time in June. Thanks

Meeplemart is hosting a pre-Astro tournament. It was posted a few pages back in this thread

Spender: Nice to finally here from you again... I guess you died and used your Necron powers to come back to life? No wonder it took so long to hear from you... you typically fail that protocol! he he. Sounds great... you have my stuff and I have your money.

I am waiting to hear a confirmation from Rythem for tomorrow at 11 a.m. Thursday I might be able to play... just waiting on a confirmation from a friend regarding another engagement, which is likely not going to happen. I am going to call you now to see if we can meet and exchange.

If everyone wants a tournament... why don't we just have one at Legends???? If we have the guys interested, we can have it scheduled and hosted, no problems.

Yeah i'm good for 11am tomorrow, as for a tournie they are pretty easy to run/setup we just need to actually get people to show up and be able to stay for the entire time. We would also need legends permission, and someone willing to play as coordinator/judge.

Fastest set-up ever for me. I'm still fiddling with the army like I spoke with you about, more dakka, and now I need to start gluing more stuff together. It was a great game, JonST is a great guy to play against and his space wolves don't resemble any of the cheese I've been told space wolves "always" do. It came down to the wire and the loss on my end was due to not knowing what the most dangerous part of his army was, and excellent positioning and movement on his part. Sadly I've never before lost 3 in a row, but I'm learning a new style of guard so I'd rather lose now and learn. I had no luck with my biggest guns, but that was offset by taking down 4 thunder hammer/storm shield termies fresh out of their drop pod with 3 rapid firing lasguns on turn 2!!! I love dice games. . I'm now torn between finishing tweeking and painting my guard army and starting on chaos marines.

There's also a tourney at GW yonge and lawrence at the end of this month 2000 points, painted models only and the like

Yeah, good games kungfu, I thought you had me with all those tanks and when you wiped out my first RP and his squad. Thankfully those new thunderwolf models really pulled through and their extra toughness made all the difference.

On a side note the guy I played with right after you focussed so much on my Cav, after watching out game, that he ended up getting just about wiped by turn 3.

See you tomorrow at 11 a.m. Rythem. You playing nids or blood angels?

Spender said he was also likely going to come by tomorrow afternoon... not sure if you would be interested in a 3-way game if he comes and noone else is there to play with him? We can decide tomorrow.

We could also do a 2v1, if you both play around 1500 i could field every model i have and do 3k BA. I'll bring both armies though incase he shows up late or not at all .

Cool.

That sounds like so much fun

If you are around today Styro, drop in... we would love to feast on some human grunts!

haha!
[sarcasm] Ya, I'll use a sick day to play 40k. [/sarcasm]

I want to see Pictures and a BatRep!!

I forgot to post the message, but Dark and my bat rep is up under 501 Muskokans. I only figured out how to properly do the pics at the end, so they're all at the bottom. . Also, forgive the spelling errors and the like, I hit submit when I meant to hit preview. . I'll see about starting the nids one next. To bad I didn't think there was time to stop for notes in pics in our game JonST. That one would have made for an epic. If any imperial allies want to send me a very brief summary of any games I'd be happy to work it into my narrative for background pre-2v2/2v1 epicsness at legends.

Do you have a link?

Lol nice narrative kungfu, obviously your guardsman have some anti Dark Eldar hate goin on, I wonder if its because the two forces can't decide which makes for better wolf food

I just think it's a shame that you're marines turned to chaos. Or was it just that you thought we were with the alpha legion warband that we got you all warmed up for. It was a tragic mistake. We had gotten word that the Legion was opperating in the area and we came upon your forces. It's a shame the grey hunters and terminators died so fast. By the time we realized you were space wolves, your honour demanded blood. But, as you saw, your "Lone Wolf" was unable to put down, Lt Maxwell Power and he survived to write the report that was sent on up the chain of command. It remains to be see whether or not your "pack" will be declared "renegade" and a proper force will be sent to put you down. Kill all of us you want, we have plenty more where we come from!!!

JonST: lots of talking... and ducking Legends! I guess the wolves are more nocturnal.. maybe that's why they can't make it out to Legends in the game time hours.

Oh Dark, I'll be available to play tomorrow (thursday) after work at legends. What time are you available? Also how many games do you want to play? Depending on how many games and what time you're good for, I'll try to adjust when I can come out. 2000 points, I hope.

What time can you make it to legends?

Had one loss (tyranids beat me 11to 4; kill points), and one huge win today. The win was a 3-way kill points game.. Dark eldar versus tyranids vs necrons. Great game that went to turn 7. Dark eldar won with 12 points, tyranids had 11 and necrons had 4 points ( tabled in 6). Stay tuned for the battle report!

I can make it down by 4:00, or a little earlier if needed.

Okay... 4 p.m. is fine. I will see you at Legends at 4 p.m. We can get in one game for sure. 2000 points.

We will be having a league and hopefully regular tournaments hosted at Legends as soon as we get everyone organized. I will let you know when the first date is set. Thanks.

I may be able to get out to legends this Sunday and if your there I may be able to introduce you to the thunderwolves.

Oh.. how cordial... I anticipate all mayhem!!! What are Thunderwolves anyways??? Distant cousins to the Thundercats from cartoon days gone by? I can see JonST as the commander... "One, Two, Three... Thunderwolves!!!!"... LOL

Is Legends the place on King St? It's not too far of a walk from Union Station is it?

Ha ha... if you leave now, you might make it to Legends on foot for our Sunday games! he he

Legends is located at Langstaff and Hwy 400 (Woodbridge). So, if limited to transit, you would take subway to Downsview station and I would pick you up there! I think go bus/train also comes pretty close.

I might be 15-20 minutes late depending on traffic, Dark.

Imperial gaurd scum! Trying to catch me flat footed. Getting tired of waiting. My Archon is playing marbles out back with Vect.

I live in Brooklin so taking 407 there shouldn't take more than 40 mins. I know where you mean now. Close by wonderland. There's a GW close by too right?

Um... it's pronounced Wood-a-bridge.

Yes... there is a GW very near to Legends. Let us know if you are coming out Sunday.

Unless work or the GF pulls a fast one on me I am gonna make it out. What time does it open again, 11 or 12?

11 a.m. I like how you set up the 'possible' exit route... just in case the wolves are not ready to face the Darkness....

Can you still be "the darkness" considering how bad you got lit up? BOOM!

Optimus, Sharp, MoreDakka - see you guys at Meeplemart at noon on Sunday!

What point level is usually played at Sunday games there?

I'm bringing a 1500 list

Yeah, thinking I want to check out Meeplemart this weekend.

Too much crap going on to drive up to Legends this Sunday.

Noon sounds good.

I'll bring 1500 too, either IGies or Orks.

1500pts is what we usually play.

See you guys Sunday!

Go ahead and enjoy it... feel free to bask in the glory for as long as you can... I think perhaps your 30 tanks may enjoy the sunlight, but darkness is all that your 65 infantry will ever see... I brought some assault squads to the game and was happy with distributing pain and suffering across the board... I admit, my army and tactics just couldn't bear the destructive force of your HUGE MASS of HEAVY TANKS... but we hold ourselves to blame for the loss.. We certainly do not grant you any respect related to having gloriously or outwittingly managed your army for the victory... quite simply, we chose to fight hand to hand, like gladiators of days gone by... meanwhile, we were simply outgunned... we believe in personal victory and there is nothing more personal than ripping out a spine, or opening an enemy's jugular with razorflails in hand.... We believe in accuracy by excellence... not the Imperial Gaurd mentality of accuracy by volume... anyone can fire 45 shots at once from miles across the battle field... I guess we just expected that perhaps due to the last battle that saw the Gaurds defeated, they would come with a bit more vigor and honor. A line was drawn in the sand, personally, by my wyches and foot soldiers, but your army simply failed to show up to the line... choosing to volley from afar instead... I am beginning to know the mind of the Imperial Guard... beginning to see where they are strong and cowardly, though both seemingly depend strongly on each other... The only admirable scene I recall was when your 5 dudes with flamethrowers let curiosity get the better of them... they slowly crept up to the impassable piece of odd terrain that their tank had come across.. not knowing what it was, they peered every so close... only to be welcomed by a huge squad of beasts that came crashing out of the warp... shredding them to pieces and then suffering an entire round of tank fire, until only the last clawed fiend, dazed and confused by the shots and blinded by the smoke on the field, wandered away...

I guess it is safe to say that I should always prepare for you with lots of Lances... though the assault battles are just so much fun!!!

Good game. And, because you won, I will allow you to gloat... LOL (why does everyone love trashing me???... I just don't understand... I'm such a nice, calm, friendly player.... he he) LOL

Wow! That's some offensive language there dude. You got some balls. The mafia might be monitoring this forum.

And yes there is a daycare centre, I mean GW, close by there. If you're a loyalist scum you'll go there instead of Legends. But there is more incentive to the latter because they sell a lot of things at a discount, including Citadel products for 20% off retail prices.

I'm down for gaming on Sunday. I'm aiming to get 2 games in at least.

Also down for gaming tomorrow.

I'm up for games on sunday at legends, i'll be there at 11am. I get enough settlers with my mates and gf, don't need to play it at a store .

Hi!

My name's Clarence and I'm one of the organizers at Conquest Toronto (a GTA based table top tournament.)

www.conquesttoronto.com

Would you guys be interested in playing in a 40k tournament at Legends Warehouse?

I've talked to the owner and he's cool with me setting up a 1 day 3 round tournament Sunday April 29th - 1850pts.

We're looking for 8 players and it would probably be a $15 entry fee. All the money collected would go towards in-store gift certificates, $60 for 1st, $40 for 2nd, and $20 for third.

If we get the full 8 man turn out, I am also willing to contribute a free ticket to our June 9th event at Conquest Toronto.

The gauntlet has been thrown.

I think I am. Maybe we can get our epic 2v2.

A tourney, eh? I'll see if I can get another 100 guardsmen glued up.

Oh, and dark, don't feel bad, I'm on a roll. Squeezed in a pick-up game at the GW yonge/lawrence and tabled some space wolves in 4. So if you want to be on my team on sunday, I understand. BAM!

Rythem, you've got to get in on this trash talking. It's fun.

I have broad shoulders... So bring the trash!

See you guys Sunday. I also hope to get two games in.

If people show early, a 2 vs 2 would be fun...but I refuse to play on kungfu's team! He is a sworn enemy.

Tournament at Legends? Cool. I am in. When do you want the money? I will only play if my name gets to go on the wall of fame after I win. Gauntlet thrown and challenge accepted. Who's in gentlemen?

Not going to make a big deal about this, but please refrain from using racial slurs on this forum. I know you probably meant nothing by it, but it's not the place for ignorance to be displayed. I would be very upset if someone on this forum were offended. I don't know you, and you don't know everyone on this forum. Therefore, please refrain from using terms that are derogatory and that could be taken as offensive. Not cool. Thank you in advance for understanding.

Please pay Dragomir (aka Chris, the dude with the shock of white hair, the guy who made all the cool terrain there.)

Only people who pay Dragomir are guaranteed a spot. Remember, there are only 8 spots! Also, we have to change the date to one week prior (April 22nd) - they forgot they have a huge Magic release April 28th-29th.

Will confirm with the staff tomorrow on the exact date.

This sounds great!

Good to see you on the thread Clarence, we met at one of the monthly tournies at Heavy Support (I was playing the shamefully unpainted IG army).

What is the format/scoring and how many points are we playing?

It will be based on pure generalship.

You guys are going to help me playtest the scenarios for our June Conquest, which will be our "Farewell to 5th ed." tournament.


Missions:

Seize Ground – there will always be 4 objectives.

Control two more objective than the opponent = major win
Control more objectives = minor win
Control same amount of objectives = draw
Control less objectives = minor loss
Your opponent controls two (or more) objectives compared to you = major loss

Capture and Control

Control both objectives = major win.
Control more objectives = minor win
Control same amount of objectives = draw
Control less objectives = minor loss
Your opponent controls both objectives = major loss

Kill Points

Score 3 more Kill Points (or more) than your opponent = major win
Score more Kill Points = minor win
Score equal Kill Points = draw
Score less Kill Points = minor loss
Your opponent scores 3 more Kill Points (or more) than you = major loss

Wipe Outs:

Completely destroying your opponent does not guarantee full battle points for all objectives. If your opponent is completely wiped out with game turns remaining, you are still allowed to play out the turns in order to claim objectives. Random game length still applies.

The games will be 1850pts. We will be playing the basic rulebook missions above, but with the described ways to break up margins of victory. 3 games total, which is why we're only looking for 8 players.

Hope to see you all there!

I may be in for this tourney, my space wolves have a decent 1850 list. And I should be there tomorrow for 11 Dark so prepare.

JonST: oh... have been ready and waiting... bring your little 'birdies' that fly overhead and bring your little 'living lightning' dudes... bring all your tanks... bring your pod (oh, actualy, you can leave those guys home that dropped out of your pod last time we played... didn't really like them much...), and I will see you at Legends Sunday.

Everyone: Who cares about rules, styles, whether or not your 'list' is 'good'.... BRING your tourney registration money!! There are 7 spots left.

I'll head down to Legends tomorrow to play some 1850 if people will be there to play, and to sign up for the tournament. Who's going and when?

Hey guys,

I just spoke with the owner and I just wanted to be sure that you guys wanted this tournament to be run.

I don't want to force you guys off the tables if you aren't interested in playing in the tournament.

It was presumptuous of me to assume that you'd all be gung ho about participating.

I've been asked me to change the date to Saturday April 21st - firstly, the 28th-29th is a huge Magic release weekend. Secondly, I shouldn't be strong arming anybody into playing in my tournament.

So which day do you guys prefer - Saturday April 21st or Sunday April 22nd?

If you guys would like to take part in this tournament, please tell the owner (John) the next time you stop by. Also, keep in mind space is limited and it is first come first serve. Please pay Chris (Dragomir) to register.

Thanks for your time, and see you all there!

Hey a tourney is always good in my books provided it's run properly (which it sounds like it will be).

I can't make the 21st, but can make the 22nd.

Well, I am good for 22nd or 23rd... So whatever works for the majority is good by me?

I will be there at 11

The 23rd is Monday - so you mean you're good for Sunday or Monday, correct?

I think it's safe to say the tourny should only be on weekends. Most of the guys at Legends are of... Working age shall we say, and I don't think you'd be able to get enough people to commit on a workday. Plus, Sunday is usualy the day that people meet at Legends in a larger group.

Clarence wrote:The 23rd is Monday - so you mean you're good for Sunday or Monday, correct?

Oooops... YES.. I mean Saturday or Sunday... sorry... being a bum makes it so hard to remember dates and days... is today Wednesday? LOL

Traffic is hell, I will be 15 min late

Sorry about that, totally didn't mean anything by it. True we all don't know each other. Just talked like I do with my Italian friends from Woodbridge. Didn't mean anything by it. I removed the comment, hope I didn't offered.

G'day all,

Unfortunately, I am no longer associated with the tournament at Legends.

I'll be looking to set up another qualifier at Heroe's World, a great hobby store in Markham. If you're still interested, I'll keep you guys appraised.

Apparently Legends is still running a tournament on the 22nd. I hope you all have a great time.

Optimus, Sharp - great to meet you at Meeplemart today! I appreciate you both being willing to play scenarios from the Battle Missions book - I really like the variety that the book offers.

Optimus: thanks for charging those Hammernators at my one remaining Tyranid Warrior in the 6th turn when you didn't need to, just to make it interesting. I shall name that Warrior "Bruce Lee" for being able eat more Terminators than my Trygon could.

Sharp, nice work with the poison against my poor MCs. I have to say, I never thought of Scourges as "hard targets" until today. I was sad to see my Tyrant and Trygon (and Zoanthropes, etc. etc.) led off in chains to the Dark Eldar slave pits :(

I'm guessing that this coming Easter Sunday is going to be pretty quiet: but if anyone is up for a game at Meeplemart, let me know!

Another epic day at Legends with the imperial guard and space wolves taking on the Tyranids and Dark Eldar. The mindlessly heroic Tyranids and foolishly cowardly Dark Eldar got pounded for 4 solids turns by massed gunfire and bayonette tips yet were still able to be in a winning position by the end of turn 5. Fortunately it went on to turn 6 where the last Tyranid troops threatening the Imperial Held objective were flamed, yet somehow the mindless creature were touched by the hive mind's will and took their own objective and the single heroic Dark Eldar scourge landed to contest the third. Alas, fate would not smile on the xenos and it continued to turn 7 for a resounding 3-nil victory for the forces of the Imperium. I'm always impressed to see how far the game has come since I started in 2nd edition where a "large" 1500 point game could take upwards of 6 hours. Now with 4000 points a side, we were able to pound out a 7 turn 2v2 game in around 5 and a half. Thanks to the participants for the epicness. Honourable mention goes the 1 unit from each army, Wyches and their transport who showed up first for the Dark Eldar, fought and escaped angry terminators, rallied at the last second and just when the Imperium's forces were about to completely envelope the xenos, landed in the think of it and immobalized the lead rhino and chimera with well placed grenades, causing a roadblock and stopping their enemies from overrunning the lasr stronghold of xenos stregth in the battle. Then they ate the full force of the imperial guard firepower on the whole right flank before being wiped. Had the game ended on turn 5, they would have been the reason for the xenos victory (fortunately it went all the way to 7). Their transport alone, single handidly killed more space wolves that anything else when it finally was exploded by plasma gun fire on turn 7. For the Wolves it has to go to the drop pod terminators who saw off a squad of wyches, slaughtered the trueborn and with but the wolf lord alive, single handedly crushed an albeit wounded Trygon Prime and the Hive Tyrant and his two bodyguards holding up and crushing the main push by the tyranid's deadliest monsters. The Tyranid MVP goes to the legally blind Hive Guard who Heroically stood there and didn't see the wolf lord terminator charge in, thunderhammer swinging. Lashing out, before he could even attack, they caused all 4 possible wounds, which was followed by three 1's on the four 2+ armour saves, killing the Superhuman Marine before he could kill anything else. This turned the tide of battle back from having the whole tyranid army on it's heels and enabled them the push forward again. For the Imperial Guard, it would have to be the Commissar Lord and his 31 followers, regular humans all, who in a battle of genetically engineer supermen, monsterous aliens bred for sluaghter and xenos with weapons far beyond what mortal men can imagine, slew 16 furiously charging hormaguants dripping with poison, 12ish poisonous genestealers and their broodlord armed with claws and talons and then led the chard back to the middle to engage the Tervigon monster in close combat, ending it's threat at the point of a simple Sgt's power sword. They alone stopped the close quarters troops of the Tyranid army from overwhelming the guard position at the onset and throught the game, allowing the guards other forces to focus on the rest of the xeno threats.
Sadly, I forgot to keep taking pics at turn 4 so the only battle report on this epicness will be what was witnessed by those who fought it.

Yeah was a great game today, though i think it's high time the tyrannofex took a backseat and i fielded two tervigons instead. The crappy bs/ws of MC's makes the rupture cannon to hard of a pill to swallow, though it does mean i need to pick up more termagaunts to support the double tervigon special .

As for the tournie coming up at legends, i've already signed up and i believe 3 others have as well so spots are going fast. Plus considering the crowd we usually get at legends on sundays it should be a great day of gaming win or lose .

Hope you can make it out to Legends soon... we had some great games Sunday. Also, there is a tournament coming in April!

Yes... great game on Sunday.... I was surprised at how close the match was, until the 6th and 7th turns, when the nids and dark eldar just didn't have any fuel left in their tanks... actually, part of the problem was that we simply didn't have any TANKS!!!! LOL

Tournament is April 22, 2012 guys... I think 3 or 4 guys have already registered... we know for sure we will have a Dark Eldar combatant, a Necrons combatant, an Imperial Guard combatant and probably a Tyranids player (unless Rythem brings the Blood Angels). Hoping that JonST and Optimus will be signing up as well... and Styrofoam and MoreDakka.... only 6 or 7 spots left guys... so get in and register... Let's separate the grunts from the officers!

I love to make it out there. My 4 armies kind of max out at 1500 pts and I noticed the tourny is for 1850. I may be able to get my orks up to 1850 but the list would not be tourny style it would be filling my units to max out points just to get to 1850. I'll see what I can do and let you know. I also have a friend who plays Chaos SM and he likely has a 1850 pts army that he could max out. I'll see what I can do and let you know. It's only a 45 min drive and i'm dying to get in on my first tourny. I hope you will tolerate us. We know the rules well but by no means are experts and will need some guidance.

Ideally we'll have enough "regulars" to not have people showing up with boring tourney lists, so your "not tournament list" is welcome.

I'll try, but I'm already doing a full day on the 29th for the Meeplenmart Tourny. I have to convice Mrs. Optimus that she has to look after the kid for another full day.

No problem, they was a close game the entire way and I couldn't leave it at just contesting, A true Blood Angel is always not guts, not glory so I had to charge them. I still can't believe that the Terminators that wiped a suad of warriors in 1 turn, a Trigon? and a Harpy got taken out by 1 lonely warrior on the final turn I wish I had kept a better track of that game, it would have made a good bat rep.

Strangelooper, Optimus, More Dakka - Great to meet you all this weekend. It's always great to meet new people and play new armies. I look forward to playing you all again!

Optimus - remember the tourney is on April 28, not the 29th

And dark, you had jet fighters as well as flying tanks and transports. Don't blame me just because the Dark Eldar build them out of paper mache.

Kungfu - great how that Tervigon died to a sgts power sword *cough* dreadnaught CCW *cough* eh? Lol

Good game all around guys, it was a nail biter. Still can't believe the wolf lord lived through all those attacks only to die to a pair of blind non power weapon hive guard....

Sidenote, I forgot as I always forget, the thunderhammer drops whatever it hits to i1 until the next turn, and here I was nicely letting the nids swing first, thankfullly the invul saved everything lol.

Where is Meeplemart located? Their website doesn't seem to say.

Skycap44: Your 'not tourney list' would be welcomed at the Legends tourney on April 22, 2012. The Legends crowd talk some trash...not me... but the other guys... but we are all laid back and easy to get along with.... Some know the rules well, and others are similar to yourself... we choose to play the game and have fun... and win at all costs, of course... so no worries about your level of expertise. Also, for example, I have never been in a tourney and I do not have a 'tourney list'.... I just have the stuff I have and I make do... as best as I can... The Legends tourney will likely be a great place for you to start.

Kungfu: Dark eldar have flying tanks?? Cool... guess they were flying so fast they were obscured all game... I never saw them! LOL So defensive... gosh... I was just stating some facts... that's all...

Optimus: You are freakin OptimusPrime and you have to get permission to go to a tourney? Ha ha... Maybe you left off the end of your tag name on dakka... Optimus Prime? You are aware that 'prime' refers to 1. First in excellence, quality, or value. 2. First in degree or rank; chief. ??? Maybe you should be called 'Optimus "Subordinate" to Prime wife'... .he he...

Everyone: I just picked up a special prize that I will give away to the winner of the First Legends Warhammer 40K tournament.... I can't tell you what it is... but it will be forever cherished by the winner... trust me.

I'm talking about the 16 person, Astronomi-con prep, 40k Tournament that I'm running at Meeplemart.

Meeplemart is at 290 Carlaw Ave, Unit 202. The address is somewhat hidden at the bottom of the FAQ page.

Info about the Tournament be found on my own site at this link.

Well, my Sgts are only initiative 3, JonST. . You're dreadnaught went at I4. Just because you caused more wounds doesn't mean I didn't deliver the last glory-stealing blow.

Legends sounds great. Myself and my chaos SM are down. I've got an 1850 ork list put together from every model I own and it's just enough so should work out well. I don't have a chance to go to Legends to register as I live far enough away. I sent them an email, you think that should be enough to register?

I'm glad to hear you are all laid back. I am by no means a win at all cost player. Just looking to get some practice before trying my luck at astronomi-con which I missed last year. To be honest I have only played against my chaos buddy so it will be interesting.

The meeplemart tourny sounds cool too but looks almost filled already.

I still can't believe that the Terminators that wiped a suad of warriors in 1 turn, a Trigon? and a Harpy got taken out by 1 lonely warrior on the final turn I wish I had kept a better track of that game, it would have made a good bat rep.

Good times at Meeplemart on Sunday, they have a nice place, really nice tables/terrain and great prices. Parking is a pain, but I think next time I will take the TTC.

Good game with Sharp, my Nobz army definitely showed its teef, but your DE have some great potential. I think they will really shine against an MEQ or heavy mech style army, those Haywire shots definitely put the hurt on armor, and the talos+grotesques will make goo out of the sweet fleshy contents within. Plus all that poison is clearly the best method of dealing with those pesky bugs

I am up for both tournaments at Legends and Meeplemart.

Sharp, are you taking pre-registrations?

That was a great game Dakka (even though you creamed me.) You exposed some of the weaknesses in my list and I really did learn a lot!

More Dakka wrote:Sharp, are you taking pre-registrations?

Yup! Registration and rules are available on my site. It's pretty much the Astronomi-con rules but only one day and 3 games. The main prizes are Tickets to Astro which will be this summer.

We have 14 people signed up right now and only 2 spots remaining!

I don't have a chance to go to Legends to register as I live far enough away. I sent them an email, you think that should be enough to register?

I'm glad to hear you are all laid back. I am by no means a win at all cost player. Just looking to get some practice before trying my luck at astronomi-con which I missed last year. To be honest I have only played against my chaos buddy so it will be interesting.

The meeplemart tourny sounds cool too but looks almost filled already.

Let me know if you are going to show for sure... if so, I can always stop in to Legends tomorrow and register you. I will put the money down and you can pay me when you show for the tourney, or before that if you make it out one weekend. Let me know your name so I can register you. Let me know if you want me to do this.

Yeah i'll probably be bringing my nids and they are definately not a waac army, more of a field what I have and hope it works .

Anyone looking for some games this week? Only available wednesday 11am legends, plus i won't be at legends this sunday as it is easter and my weekend will be tied up doing family things and appeasing the gf who puts up with me buying 40k stuff when I'm currently not working full time .

@ Dark Eldar Elite, can you sign me up for the Tournament at Legends tomorrow? You can take it out of the payment for your Wracks (which are finished minus basing btw, pics to come )

Anyone up for a game this Thursday? Thinking GW at Y&L.

So there is no Army Comp rules then? Seems like Astro might be abandoning them now?

MoreDakka: YES. I will sign you up and pay for your registration at Legends today.

Skycapt44: Let me know soon if you want me to register and pay for your spot at Legends for the tourney. I will be heading out before noon.

Rythem: I can't play Wednesday.. actually have to work that day... but I am free Thursday if anyone wants to play.

Legacy40k wrote:So there is no Army Comp rules then? Seems like Astro might be abandoning them now?

Yup, they've run 2 or 3 events now without it.

I was one that really liked the Comp system Astro developed, but the newer marine books just broke it beyond repair. It's pretty silly that you can take the same marine list and build it in 4 different codexes and get 4 different point totals, effectiveness and results. With no way to fairly compare BA, GK, SW, DA and SM they just decided to drop it.

I guess now the wacky missions will have to be the only thing keeping the WAAC players away

That was my problem with it.. Some armies (Like Tau) got really hurt by it, and some armies, like those mentioned don't get affected by it at all.

@DEE yes I am 100% down. So is my friend. I am sending you a PM

So, with Skycapt44 and his friend, as well as MoreDakka and those already signed up, we now have a total of 9 spots filled. Given the quick response of combatants, the size of the tourney may grow to 14 registrants. It should be a great tourney boys!

I'm lucky to get a game once a month with a wife and kid. No easy task

Once a month? You talking games or something else? He he

Ahh too bad, the problem i have with thrusday is that I would need to leave by 5 to be home in time to head out to dinner with the gf, which can be difficult . Though if we were to play 1850 lists in preperation for the tournie the games would technically be shorter than 2k pt games in theory .

@DEE, many thanks! Can't wait!

The something else, hell, I'd be lucky to get 'in' once every other month! JK...kinda

Confirmed for thrusday 11am legends. Turns out i was wrong anyways, i wasn't free wednesday, i needed to keep it free to head out for dinner. Good thing i pay attention to what's going on around me .

Hey everyone,

I'm a long(ish)-time Dakka user and Toronto-area wargamer who has taken occasional glances at this thread, and has finally decided to make use of it. I primarily play at GW Yonge and Lawrence, but my usual opponents and I also play at Duelling Grounds and Heavy Support Games. And, apparently, I live in walking distance of Friendly Troll Games (ie near the Yonge & Steeles area) and never knew that until now.

So if anyone is looking for another player to add to their gaming group, or is looking for a game, I'm definitely interested.

Sorry Dark, dunno if the space Vikings will be making it to the tourney, I would like to but I have a weapons thing that weekend. Not sure if I will be done by Sunday morning.

Lord of Non... Etc your names too damn long lol, I play at GW Y&L often and I am planning on heading there Thursday if your interested in a game. Or anyone else is for that matter.

Thanks Dark, I'm just getting home now so I didn't get a chance to get out there but Chris sent me an email that said you stopped by.

I think I might also be available for some gaming tomorrow (wednesday) in the afternoon/evening if anyone is up for it. I won't know until tomorrow exacty when, but if anyone's looking for a game I'll try to schedule around your timeline.

I might be able to play tomorrow after work... Kungfu, let me know what time you could start... Maybe we would do 1850 so we can finish the game before closing.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh...just to let everyone know... Legends will be open this Friday, but they open later (3 pm) and will likely also close later. Sunday is normal business hours.

Dark is correct, Legends will open Good Friday at 3:00pm and close about 10.30pm.

Sure, keep an eye here and I'll post a time as soon as I know. What time do you finish work?

Hey Sharp, I'll be bringing my Ork army to the Meeplemart tourney (It's the only one painted well enough at this point )

Awesome, I'll go remove the question mark next to your name/army then

I'd leave it on there, definitely not playing a typical Ork army

I hope that doesn't mean you're not also bringing orks to the Legends one. I've still never gotten to cross swords (or bayonettes and powerclaws) with them before and I was hoping I'd finally get the chance.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Dark, I'm going to plan to be there for 4:00, but I'll post again if it changes

Sort of on the fence. Because of the painting score I'm limited to playing my Orks for the Meeplemart tourney. Since Legends is just WYSIWYG no painting then I have a much broader range to play with.

I was kinda thinking of playing my IG but taking some of the more fun units over my current tourney list.

I'm sure there will be a sunday in the near future when your orks will be on the prowl.

I'm up for a game at FT any night as I'm just down the street. More Dakka works in the area so he can be convinced too

Getting held up at my last job, probably be a half hour late, Dark

Kungfu: no problem... 30 minutes will likely mean more than that... we can just schedule for another day.... I don't want to start too late, because that usually means we have to rush the last turn or two. Talk later. I am going to PM you my phone number because it makes scheduling much easier for both of us in the future... the forum doesn't always keep us up to the minute updated.

Tuesdays and Thursdays

For the record I cannot be convinced to do anything. Ever. But I can be persuaded/cajoled/swayed into pretty much anything.

Can't do much until after April 14th, I have a final coming up and need to study, but the 2 week after that I'm good whenever to meet at 6:30/7:00

Bah got roped into family stuff this weekend. Golf season starts next weekend but might be able to come out later in the afternoon on sat or sun.

@ ANYONE: I need a Talos put together and painted ASAP... Anyone interested??????

How ASAP is ASAP? I'm actually up north all weekend next weekend is the one I was talking about. 5 incubi are assembled 5 more will be done tonight.

I need to get a Talos put together before the April 22 tourney bc I currently use the 3rd edition model and someone told me the new one is a different size...so I bought two of them..one came in yesterday and the other is coming next week.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
@more dakkadakka: just want to reiterate... There is no rush for the stuff you are doing for me.. We already agreed on no set deadline and that has not changed...so no worries...

Cool, but FYI you can use old models as-is regardless of model or base size difference. So old talos= ok for current tourney play.

Mostly true, except if there is a new model you need to bring it up to current height/base size. The new talos is on a flight stand, the old one sat on the table. Plus his old talos is just about the laziest MC you have ever seen, pretty much only comes out on turn 5 and then refuses to run more than 2-3 inches a turn. I have seen more than a few TO not allow the use of old ork trucks because of the size difference, you could hide the old ork truck behind a line of termagaunts, while the new ones are sized more like regular vehicles. I usually just allow the player to use what he has but play it as though it were the correct size/height.

He he... Yes, my Talos needs to be updated... He is so old and lazy that, like Rythem said, he tends to stay out of the fight.

Pretty sure the old talos was on a flight stand, not that many of those would have survived as such being fully pewter

Yes but dee wasn't, he was running it around on the table, which probably wasn't good for the paint on the bottom either lol. He could of bought another flight stand and put it on it, or just run it like it was 3-4 inches higher than it was.

As for painting it for ya, i doubt very much you want me painting it, i have no idea on layers, high lighting, or shades. Hell most of the time i'm happy when i can stay in the lines . Plus i need to get my gaunts all painted or at least armed with the correct weapons in case my jp's don't make it in the mail in time.

I must find a flight stand... then I will have 2 Talos to bask in the sun for 4 turns before entering on turn 5, moving 6" and then running 1". Yippee... but maybe I will actually deploy everything on the table except my Talos's, which will enter via webway portal... huh? yeah... so then what?

Spender picked the Talos up today to paint... He also dropped off a bunch of Gaunts, Genestealers and a Tyrranofex!!! Looking good... the army is coming together well... I should have 2500 points for Tyranids in no time... in fact... if I can get 1850 points put together by April 22, 2012, I may field my Tyranids for their first ever game and tourney! Get on those hive and tyrant guards Spender!! LOL

Tyranids?! You may have to change your name DEE, I don't know what I will do if I end up playing you and you don't have all those vehicles for me to shoot.

I know... you might actually have to move closer to me!!!! he he

Hi

I'm pretty new to this game. I tried getting into it in the 90's, and basically i've played only about 4 times, using 5th rules. Are you all meeting this Sunday? And where? I live pretty close to Meeplemart, and wanted to meet other gamers and maybe watch, maybe play. My army is not fully painted, and likely not WYSWIG, but I would like to meet more people

Welcome back! Most of the guys in this thread play at either Legands, Heavy Support or Meeplemart, usually on a Sunday. Most ties on Sunday you can find a game at Meeplemart. Keep an eye on this thread and you usually see when and where we are playing.

The gang at Legends are laid back and cool. We have various levels of experience from relatively new (like myself) to experienced. We usually communicate on the forum to set up games through the week and typically there are 4-8 guys available for Sunday gaming. Legends is at Langstaff and Hwy 400 (Woodbridge, Ontario). We welcome new gamers and you are more than welcome to come out, check out the scene, play, observe, whatever. Like you, I first played in 1998... only played 2 games and then moved away from home and only revisited the game again in February of this year.... but with the forum I have met some great guys and have had LOTS of games! You should come out this Sunday to Legends...there should be some of us there.

Some of us play at GW at Yonge and Lawrence too...

Is anyone going to be at legends this afternoon?

What time were you thinking?

I'm working at avenue road and lawrence, so I'm just waiting on my wife to come and switch cars with me at the end of the day. I'm aiming to be there at 4:00 and she's suppossed to be here at 3:00, so I have some buffer time in case of traffic

I will let you know by 1 p.m. I don't have a car today, but if it is out of service in time, I will be able to make it. I will confirm by 1 p.m.

I'm free wednesday if anyone is up for some 11am gaming at legends, let me know .

I still haven't heard back from the dealership. I don't know when I will have my wheels. As such, I can't commit to 4 p.m. today. Sorry. If the car is ready before 4 p.m. I will try to contact you Kungfu.

No worries, I'm going to be heading in that direction anyway at around that time, so drop me a line and let me know. I'll be within 10-15 minutes of legends in any event so It'll be easy for me to pop in. I'll pm you my cell.

I might be heading down to Friendly Troll this Thursday with either Dark Eldar or Sisters of Battle, in case anyone is up for a game.

Ahh a later start doesn't work well with my schedule sadly, might just need to postpone till a later date.

Sometime after work, likely 4-4:30. It'll also depend on when you're availiable.

Ahh ya i was hoping ya wouldn't say that, i basically work nights right now so i'm only available for day games.

Jeez don't let dark hear ya say that... i should be fine, i don't need to paint them just need to build them, probably take me a couple hours depending on what i find to watch on the internet at the same time.

Yeah i need to be gone before 4pm this week, so it probably won't work. Good luck at the GW store, i haven't stepped in one in years..

Ya, the employees there are nice, the people who go there are nice, if not a bit odd... but there's a certain atmosphere. Friendly, but... well my last trip there kind of sums it up. I went it to get some advice on how to get my models from looking really good to display case quality. After looking at my model he asked if it was painted with citadel paints and when I said no, he seemed less interested in helping me and after I finaly coaxed some basic tips out he told me that he'd give me a quick tutorial, but I used another company's paints. Although citadel did just come out with a new book about painting with a dvd. :/

I usually feel bad going in and just using their tables, never buying anything at their rather large mark-ups, but now, not so much. I'd recommend going there if it's the only place to go. So that's where I'll be tomorrow.

I am always looking for more funds to fuel my armies of death. My refusal of your other models was me trying give your other slow commission a chance, even though I need the money more being unemployed.

@nonsensicalcrap: Let me know when you want to play fantasy, it was nice meeting you today at gw.

Who is going to be around this weekend? Let me know. I want to play.

Spender: never mind fulfilling 'fantasies', get home and finish my Talos and my Nids!

I'm available sunday till 5pm, and i did warn CGBSpender about posting that comment. Knew he'd invite the wrath of DEE.


And Kungfu, i was wrong about the death mask, it is only the first assault turn, so you didn't need to take that second leadership check, luckily you passed it and it didn't change the game in anyway. Good game today by the way, was nice to actually win against the IG for once . I've already put together that squad I bought today and i'm hoping the next 3 will be in in time for the tournie .

That wasn't a game. It was a slaughter. No dicing either, just soundly beaten. Now I know what Dark feels like when he plays me lately... everything just starts to disappear. I tried to get funky with the deployment to counter your decent, but I should have just eaten the drop in meltas.

Also, I think I'm going to be availiable to play early sunday, but have to leave before the store closes.

Well, fought Optimusprime twice today, and lost both games (but at least I managed to murderize some Guardsmen beforehand). Well fought, Optimus, and curse you and your silly Librarian (I've never seen one model be such a game-changer before). I'm always up for a rematch if you are.

Same here. How's next Thursday or Friday for a possible Fantasy game?

Sorry about randomly disapeering there, got called in for work, wont be back in the city til Sunday, it was kinda last minute. Maybe some games at GW next week?

@nonsensical crap: Friday seems appropriate, being Fantasy night.

To other Fantasy players: Get out of your closet, and reveal yourself! We need to get Fantasy going on this forum.

Rythem: I'm glad the deathmask thingy got cleared up... that thing wrecked my Archon both times I faced it...

Kungfu: You have to leave before the store closes? Ouch... you better get your game started as soon as the store opens!! he he

Rythem/Kungfu: Soooooo....11 a.m. Sunday at Legends? Anyone? C'mon guys... tourney is coming... Optimus?? Spender? Dakka?

Dakka: Will you be at Legends this weekend?

Spender: Will you be at Legends this weekend?

Rythem: so, are you going with the Blood Angels or Nids for the tourney?? If Spender finishes another 850 points of my nids, I will definitely field them for the tourney...These guys are looking sick... by the time my opponent stops trembling I should have my gargoyles and flyrant in close combat... with the Tyrannofex punches basketball sized holes in an armour support units.

Goods games, that Librarian was a hero. He saved about 3 times his points cost whith shield and ran off more than his poinst cost with fear. Sorry about the second list, it was a little cheesy, but it was the first 1000 point one I came across. (For everone else it ended up being DE vs 3 razorbacks and 3 Vindicatos at 1000 points, not a pretty match up)
