I'll be up for some Mordheim action once I've got all my stuff down from Manchester!

Talking over his ideas for the business, I think this has tremendous potential to bring us ,here in Bristol, a hub. A centre not only to bring our mates to and game, but also to meet new players (and some mates from dakka) and establish a community.

The place is just begging for some tourneys to be organised, I'd personally love to see some Warmachine, Infinity, Malifaux and the GW specialist games brought in.

I know the dude running GW these days is a really sound guy, but it's still limited, and therefore not the FLGS we all want in Brizzle.

Inevitably, someone's going to ask this, so... I have a 40k IG army of sorts, who's up for a friendly 500pt game when this place opens?

And although I can't speak for the other games, Specialist Games-wise I'm looking forward to some Necromunda and have a Mordheim warband kicking around somewhere...

Brad is a great guy and one of the few decent store managers i have encountered through the years, he has always been as accomodating as possible to the BV when we were using the store. Unfortunately the same can't be said for his boss who is well.

I am really looking forward to looking at the different games systems as due to being in GW its kind of stiffled appitite for non GW stuff. I am selling my Fantasy finishing off my 40k orcs and then will be looking at new game systems particularly FOW. This new shop has definately come at a good time

Is the Gardener's car park usable in the evening? Haven't been down there in a fair few years but that always used to be a half decent option for that area.

I am fairly sure that it is free to use in the evenings, but it would be worth checking what time they lock the gates!

So, anyone been in recently? How's it progressing Alex? I've peeked in while passing, got the display cases up now so looking pretty good. Looking forward to getting some regular painting in...

Haven't been in yet but BV officially move in on Thursday so will get to have a good look around then. Really looking forward to it

Munkey are you a vanguard player or are you just using the same username as someone on their forum?

I am indeed. Its easier having the same username on hobby forums.

I concur

Is there an opening date yet? Need to have a trip to Bristol some time soon...

Mick

Just a quick note to let you Bristolian Dakkites know that Cut and Thrust will be open tomorrow evening. (Thurs, 1st July) and every Thrustday henceforth.
Bristol Vanguard are having their first, of hopefully many, evening sessions there.
There will also be more than enough table space for non-members to get a game and the agreements met between both C+T and Vanguard ammount to 'The more the Merrier'.
The shop isn't quite finished and there is no stock just yet but the Vanguard are now homeless so needs must, I guess.
Pop in and say hello if you get the chance or bring some models and a friend and get playing.

It would be great to see you all there.

That would make a sweet tagline on answering the phone or greeting new customers...

"Hello, Cut and Thrust, where every day is Thrust day!"

I am familiar with the concept of Thrust day, it's the one day of the month where Mrs Squilverine lets me........

On second thoughts I really hope that C+T's is something entirely different

And let's also hope there's no 'cut' involved in your thrusty rituals with Mrs Squilverine as well...

Otherwise I don't want to be your friend.

Was v cool to take a stroll around there this evening and see what was what.

Great to meet you Capt Roderick, good talking with you Alex as before and I'd love to try that apocalypse game Matt was talking about, if anyone else was there, sorry but I didn't wear a MeanGreenStompa badge.

I was the skinhead with the beard and suit.

I think you were leaving just as I was turning up. I am really impressed with he place. Gaming space wise it is huge. I think there's what space for 20+ tables :-) I think the downstairs will look great when there is stock on the Walls as well

Thanks everyone for the kind words. My hopes are for this to go from strength to strength, hang in there. It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

Sounds fun, he didn't quite admit to his bug squashing fetish but I could see it in his eyes!

MeanGreenStompa wrote:sorry but I didn't wear a MeanGreenStompa badge.

It's in the post! (Worst badge making kit ever.)

oooh, it has sparkles!

I was going to pop over, but my hayfever was playing me up, so spent evening sneezing everywhere!

Alex that is EPIC. You should have a box of them to giveaway on your official opening day lol

Dangit I'm working this thursday. I need to get some serious modelling done so I can get some 40K action on the go.

Meangreen, just run around constantly locked in a blessed-like bellow, then people will be able to instantly identify you...

I require an infusion of sambuca and ale to accomplish this...

I'm thinking of popping down tomorrow evening. What time is best?

Anytime is good.
I'll be opening the shop in the morning and will be there until 10pm ish.
Vanguard officially starts at 6pm but there will be people there from 4 onwards I should think.
It would be great to see you there.

As much as I would like to be there all day, I have kids to sort out hehe. I'll feed them first, then drive on over - it's about a 20 min journey.
