Spot on regarding nerd broadcasting, Xeno.

That's what I figured. In that case, the options are secret FB group or mailing list. I am on a secret FB group for a work-related thing, and it works really well. I think it's perfectly viable for our group. And, frankly, I think the fact that secret FB groups are invite only is a good thing. It will allow us a certain amount of exclusivity.

Either way is totally cool with me. I personally think mailing lists are sort of going obsolete, but, whichever works for me.

You're probably right, the mailing lists I've endured for work are tedious, despite the folder re-route. FB may be the best bet. Are you going to GE on Saturday?

Id be ok with a FB thing or even just leaving it at Dakka as i have access to both nearly 24hours.

Are we still on for Saturday the 7th? I see that the post got updated and it says the 2nd. Just trying to see if I got my dates mixed up. Also, the secret facebook group sounds like a great idea.

I think that's just a lil typo on Goat's part. It's next Saturday, the 7th. Noon is the official time, but I'm gonna go earlier.

My bad I changed it to the 7th, my mind was else where. Had to fire my first person ever :(

In happier news I am almost finished with my Hive Tyrant and have assembled 3 warriors and almost done with 8 hormaguants.

I am down to run the Facebook page. Didn't one of you say you had some group name reserved?

Secret Facebook page.

That's something else I'll have to pay attention to (since I barely check Facebook anymore because I don't really care too much for it).

I hope this thread doesn't dry up as a result of a Facebook page, as this is obviously much better at attracting new players than a Facebook page (which is naturally closed), but if we're not talking in this thread then people aren't going to find the thread as easily, etc.

I also am not a fan of Facbook. But, unfortunately, it has become a platform that most people are on and it does facilitate communication pretty seamlessly.

I think the difference between communicating here and communicating on FB is that I am pretty much constantly logged into FB, whereas I am only here when I think to log on. To be honest, with my lack of enthusiasm for GW and 40k lately, I'm really only logging on to check this thread most of the time.

I think your situation is reversed, obviously, because you are the owner of this site.

But, I do completely agree that we should keep some level of conversation going here in order to publicize the group and attract new players.

Dakka, Facebook, mailing list. Whatever. I personally don't care. There are pros and cons to each.

Fear not folks, I will always haunt this thread and encourage others to do so!

I will be in Glendale that day and I was hoping to find a game in that area. I will be there with my Hive Fleet around 10:30. I have played at the GE in San Diego before so it will be fun to have roots in both places. I am also not a total foreigner. I went to MCHS back in the late 90's.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
BTW anyone possibly interested in a game Friday afternoon or evening. My business trip will be done by the morning and trying to see how much game I can get in before I have to go back to the family.

Tomorrow at noon! Be there gents!

I am bringing both 40k and Warmahordes stuff!

Where is this game empire everyone is meeting up at today? I'm only seeing one in San Diego?..

1795 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106

^ thanks alot man I appreciate it

I'm shooting to make it there by 6 PM. (I get off work at 4:30 PM) Im going to be bringing some harlequins for lulz.

Sorry about the WFB crossover gents! I had no idea, I only checked to see if there were any 40k or Warmahordes scheduled for yesterday, and there were not. Next time, I'll make certain that it's a event less, but eventful Saturday at GE.

Just gunna throw this out there...If anyone wants to play some 40k, I am available all day every Tuesday through Thursday, and after 6 PM every other day. I play Eldar.

Also, I live in Downtown LA and am willing to drive almost anywhere in the county.

hey! so I'm looking to get back into the swing of things as far as warhammer 40k goes. I'm a pretty casual gamer, don't have a fully painted army, etc. Is that welcome? Are you guys 100% wisiwyg?

^^ to both of the above posters.

I am avaliable all next week after finals end..and this weekend as well. Maybe we can set up a game through PM's or something of the sort. I don't mind proxying stuff for casual gaming and I'm also up for competitive. Whatever floats you boat.

I would say most folks armies are still works in progress. In general most folks seem fine with fielding unpainted models and minor proxies are fine. I wouldn't want to play against a bunch of empty bases or cardboard cut outs but "this guy with a plasma is really a gravgun" is fine by me.

That being said some folks have really nice armies that are fully painted. I would make an attempt to paint and get your army in decent shape. Few will say no to playing a game with you, but I think it is polite to try and field a good looking army. As long as you are working on it no ones going to say anything. If you are bring a new grey army every month then you might find some resistance among us.

Yep its no problem by me.
Man great game still cant believe you guys edged out the victory with that sneaky lysander VP.

Hey guys, SMMSjosh14 and I are meeting up on Tuesday, the 17th, for some games! We will be meeting up at Aero hobbies in Santa Monica at 11 AM. All are welcome.

Edit: Also. I'm willing to stay late; so if anyone wants to come, but cant make it until later, thats fine. I'm up for a full day of games.

So, When are people meeting up next?

Also what got decided re: communication?

I am probably going to be at the Lakewood bunker all day saturday the 21st if anyone wants to join me there. I'll have my eldar. Trying out a 1500 tournament list, proxying 2 Wraithknights, because I haven't bought them yet.

Hey sorry I have been out of touch. Christmas is one of the busiest times at the church and I have been swamped.

Because Churches are busy during Christmas I could get the space for December, I will see about January and get back to you guys.

Okay cool. Did we decide what we were going to use to keep in touch/ message?

For right now we will just use Dakka, eventually I will take the bull by the horns and also run a Facebook group, but till then just check here every now and then.

Had a great game with SMMSjosh14 at Aero Hobbies the other day. Its a smaller place, but the vibe is right. If anyone else is up for a pick-up game soon, hit me up. Location is not an issue to me, I'll drive to you!

@ qballony
Just saw your post, I'll probably be stoping by around 5 PM to pick up a model, but i dont have my army with me today. (darn!) maybe another day we could play some games? I play eldar as well and am eager to try out my hornets that just came in!

Thanks bud^ I had a great game as well! Aero hobbies is always open gaming so anyone can come in and play.
