Hey folks!

This weekend I learned about a new store that has opened in Alexandria, and stopped by. It's called "Now Playing" and their website is located at nowplaying2010.com. They're at 1235 Texas Avenue in Alexandria.

I stopped in on Monday to check them out; they do 40k, a bit of Fantasy, Warma/Hordes, and their biggest crowd is Magic: The Gathering players.

Personally, I'm a 40k player (for those who don't know =D ). The 40k community there is small, but the number of people who have started collecting models to build an army is growing. The store has some good ideas for moving ahead with expanding the community, including tactical workshops, painting workshops, an eventual mini-tournament to seed a challenge ladder, raffles, free stuff....

They've got two tables set up permanently, four more ready as needed, and eight themed 40k tables (Arctic, Lava, desert, etc) set aside via one of the core players (Harry). Stop in, introduce yourself, pass on some contact info and get a game - since it's relatively close to me, anyone is welcome to PM me here on Dakka or drop me a line at my blog They Shall Know Fear to meet with you at the store on a random evening or weekend day.

Much obliged, and hope to see the community start to grown; we've got some solid folks at the heart of things to try helping to make it work.

That's a nice gesture by you Dash!

Your not as evil as your Dark Eldar minions say you are!

I'll be in Alexandria, LA on business Sept. 18 and 19. Perhaps if the opportunity arises I'll stop in.

I'll be up at the gamestore on Saturday if anyone wants to stop by.

When are they going to start running tournaments?

Oh...I don't know. Still working on the local player base.

Hey, my name is Bobby, and I JUST put together my army from the black reach beginner set, im 21 and in the army at fort polk, I would LOVE to play but would the players at this shop let me since my gak is not painted? im a horrible artist but i just want to play some matches against someone other than my wife. i plan on stopping in there this saturday though for sure.

I'll be at the store on saturday (tomorrow the 19th) with my unpainted basic space marine army sometime around 1 if anyone is interested in teaching a noob the basics better than i can to myself.

I'm also at Ft Polk, just returning from deployment. The player base in our 40k group has shrunk by about 50% since I was last here. Slackerz is closed and now we can catch an occasional game at Ken's house.

Most of my weekends are tied up so an occasional weeknight game, once every two, three weeks is enough 40k for me. If anybody around here has a group going, drop a line and we'll get contact info for players and groups of players spread around Polk that don't know about each other.

I can get to Alexandria to play occasionally, maybe once a month or so.

I'll go ahead an post my email address, but replying here, just as good.
