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.

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

Interesting. When are 40k nights at FT usually held, or is it just done on any day of the week?

Tuesdays and Thursdays

Awesome. This Tuesday might be difficult for me (have a blood donation on that day), but Thursday looks doable.

Anyone up for a game today at Legends at 3:00, or 3:30?

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.

DEE, I'll have those Wracks for you by then

Sweet! Let me know if you want to play. Sunday is a no go for me because of Easter. How are the Incubi and other Beasts coming? Wink wink

@Spender: any more Tyranids ready?

@ 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.

@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

Right now I have 1000 points available with assembled and painted (excellently painted, I might add) Tyranids... If I get another 850 points ready by the tourney date, I may be fielding nids!

I can't do this week, maybe next week

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.

Rythem: I would like to play tomorrow, but I don't finish work until 11:30 a.m. in Mississauga. So, I could play, but I wouldn't be able to start until about 12:30 p.m. Let me know if that works for you.

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.

I'll be good to play tomorrow afternoon dark. I'll post what time I'll be availiable around noon tomorrow and then you can confirm availiability

I'm also likely availiable on thursday evening as well if anyone wants to meet at legends.
