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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where: Dueling Grounds

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

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

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

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

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

Let the slaughter begin!

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's Steve. Nobody likes Steve.

Now you know why.

I figured as much when you told him off!

Ohh. I'd better stay outta this one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two Headed Dragon is good.

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

BUT

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

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

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

Styrofoam04 wrote: You would think there would be more.

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

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

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

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

I'm free the 17th as well.

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

Heavy Support sounds good to me.

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

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

Next Meeting

When: April 9th at 2pm

Where: Two Headed Dragon

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

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

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

Some other options:

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

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

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

If so can you PM me with cell numbers?
