not looking to start anything yet but i am highly curious how many locals i have access to on this site, just post a simple reply, if you live in Calgary and are also looking for others to casually combat with, include your army's and whatnot for future reference, so we could possibly set up times and places for tourneys or one on ones in this grand city of ours, i'm sure your well aware sentry box always has tabletops free for usage whenever we like, so long as the doors are unlocked mind you, and i would imagine games workshop allows the use of tables during business hours but im not completely sure.

Me and my buddy just started getting back into 40k after a long hiatus... I play Marines, he plays Nids.. Haven't played any games outside of us messing about but I've just finished stripping like 3-4k of marines and he is in the process of updating his Nids.

I think there was a post about people in Calgary awhile ago.. Not too sure what happened to it, I wasn't paying much attention to it.

I'm in Calgary. Don't play 40k though.

Fafnir, Orkestra, and someone else who I forget are also here.

I'm in Calgary right now, but I'll be going to Lethbridge for university on Wednesday, and won't be back for a while. I'll be back for Thanksgiving, Xmas, and Summer though.

I've never been to sentry box, since it's pretty far from the house, and I don't have my liscense yet(have the car though... need more practice before I put my money down for the test though), so I never got around to getting there. Perhaps we can all have a game on Thanksgiving weekend, if they're open then.

Has anyone actually been to the sentry box when they hold their 2000 point battles on the weekends twice a month? Wondering if its worth my time trying to finish as much of my marines up and seeing if I can get a game there...

Players that I know in the Calgary region: Myself, Ithinarine (also on the site) and two others from our little gaming group, but the other three are based in Cochrane, so heading out would be more tricky for them.

At the moment I've got two 2K+ fantasy armies, and a mere 1K points for 40K, which I'd like to have more painted before I head out on the town. Maybe we could make a list or something for casual pickup games.

I have about 4kish of marines, but would never play anything near that much, I'd play at casual game here and there no problem at all.

There is a large group of gamers in Cow Town that have their own site and forum and are very welcoming. Lots of different armies and skill levels. Thy used to meet at the Sentry Box on Mondays, but moved to a different place for some reason (I left the country areound the same time they changed locales) The Saturday stuff is hit and miss, but the guy who organizes those games and the bif Tourneys at the Radisson in May and October is on this site as well. www.ultimate-gamer.net

I've never gamed there, but I do know they are hosting a 3000 pt Hard Boyz Tourney for WFB on the 26th with at least 20 slots. I assume (cue the Benny Hill skit) it's a fair sized place. I think its on par with the Compu Soft in Red Deer where the GROTZ run their club out of. The guys in the club are Ace and a lot of fun.

Well, hit me up with a pm anytime and me and my buddy will come for games or whatever. We aren't the best players/painters, but getting a game in versus something else is always good.

Sure I'd be up for something around thanksgiving as well. Would give me more time to finish my marines.

Well, depending on how many people want to, we could have a big clusterfeth team match. Something like 1000 points each detachment.

If there was a big 1K points per side match I'm pretty sure I could convince myself and at least two others to show up. Just let us know the time and place.

I used to play at Eastridge Hobbies in Riverbend up until they stopped having their Sunday games.

Of course, I'm not in Calgary anymore anyway

Well, it looks like Sentry box is closed on the monday.. So either sunday or saturday would be our best bets.. Maybe even friday depending on when people are available.
