well me and my friends still goign strong, have 3 regular players all with round 3k points tau/tyranids/orks and 2 semi regulars with round 2500 imperial gaurd/space marines, have a nice setup roughly 8x8" table lots of terrain always adding more we like to play big long games usually takes a full day, if anyone is interested hit me up here or ad dme on msn sgonzo@live.ca

Game stars is great. Good environment, decent prices, nice staff, food. Imperial hobbies is also pretty nice (if a bit cramped) and the staff are nice. Never seen tables there though? Strategies is great and the closest to me. For any one who wants to go to strategies or imperial hobbies then I would suggest parking at a canada line stop and then taking the canada line there. Strategies is literally right next to the... can't remember but one on from aberdeen. Me and a couple buddies have been building a board in my garage if any one feels like playing. Live on the west side.

Another group of 3, relative newbies here- looking for possible games in Vancouver

Is the metro town GW still open?

nope, moved out further to Highgate Mall.

I see, thanks.

In the interest of keeping this post alive, here are some images of my recent game with my small gaming group. It's a pretty crude set-up. Hit me up if any locals are interested in arranging some sort of game.

Kudos on making the most of limited terrain options. I just hope you don't have any excitable pets

haha- why thank you, and no we don't have any pets

Not that I can join you, but I hear that Relic has some serious 40k collections at its studio. Perhaps inquire with them for a game?

Haha- that would be pretty sweet Maybe I'll look into that! Thanks!

I play at the Highgate Village store. Good terrain, the staff is cool, there's lots of tables...

There's a good mix of players there. I usually swing by Tuesdays/Thursdays. I play Ultramarines.

Just calling out to anyone in the Langley region:

Gamestars was recently sold, and while it's still there, the new owners and management are moving away from 40k rather substantially, so for anyone looking for a new place to go, or anyone in the area looking for a game period, there's a substanital group of us at Wiser's Collectibles down on 96th and 201st, right by the Golden Ears Bridge.

It's an old store, been there for 25 years, and a bunch of us recently started going there after getting tired of Gamestars; we've got 5 tables, some custom terrain from the old Metrotown GW, along with a bucketload and a half of painted terrain, some GW, some home made, some of it older than I am from when Wiser's first opened.

We get together every friday around 6pm, and the store's open till about 1:30am on fridays, along with an evening pizza order the store does both for us, and the Magic crowd which gathers every friday.

Better yet, they've got US pricing, and a discount on top of that equal to the taxes for all 40k, Fantasy, Warmahordes, D&D and Pathfinder. They're also more than willing to order in anything they don't have in stock, bits, specialist game stuff, and even Forgeworld, if you ask nicely, and get a bunch of people together for a bulk order; shipping and duties are taken care of.

The only real downside is it gets bloody hot during the summer, and since it's a relatively small operation, aside from friday, they usually close around 6-7pm. There are, however, a bunch of us with Saturdays off, so we're thinking of getting a second "official" day of little plastic dudes going.

We're relatively laid back, throw the occasional small-time tournament, have monthly Apoc games, and are in the process of trying to put together a campaign. So, if you're in the region, drop by sometime, most of us don't bite.

me and my group still around, don't see to much play out of our IG or Space Marine players anymore. always on the lookout for more players to add to our group pm me if you interested. will try to add some gallery photos of our collections today.....

Gaming group with a somewhat firm grasp on the rules, looking to expand their circle! Current players, IG with Tau Allies, DE, DA, SW

There are a couple of us in Whistler that play. If anyone is coming up this way and wants to play let me know. I have a 6x4 table to play on.

I also play at Wiser's Wide World of Collectibles

The gaming group playing out of here has a fan page

https://www.facebook.com/dicedweller

We are also starting a brand new escalation league

https://www.facebook.com/ForThereIsOnlyWarEscalationLeague

To come and play on the tables there is no painting requirements. Terrain is free to use and there is plenty of chairs tables and even a leather couch to sit on. So if you are interested in coming to our little gatherings
just show up. We are a friendly and pretty laid back group with huge collections and many armies for you to play against. I have been going pretty much every friday night for over a year and get one to two games
in each time I show up.

Hope to see you all there
Cheers

Larry

Sounds awesome! Where?

Hey all,

CHOP gaming holds regular events in North Vancouver, at the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Events run on Sundays, from 12:30 until about 10pm, and there is food and beer and lots of tables available to play whatever game your heart holds dearest. Our members tend to focus on the Fantasy and 40k, but we've had a big surge of Malifaux, a bit of Dystopian Wars, and some Dreadball and Warmahordes. We usually get 30-40 people out to each event, so if you play a popular game you're very likely to be able to show up and find an opponent really easily! We charge $10 a person to play, and the money goes into buying tables and terrain for the club so that next month you can play on even more awesome stuff.

You can like us on Facebook if you want to keep up to date on our events, we post them regularly there.

Our next event is happening this Sunday, May 12th at 12:30pm. Here's a Google maps link to show where the place is.

Hope to see you there!

i play with miskie quite regularily and gaming location is in burnaby my friend

I'm intrigued! Since I got my army together I've been hunting for places to game. I live in Burnaby so I'm in the area. The local GW store is nice & all but I find it to be a bit of an uncomfortable environment as well as undependable when it comes to finding a good game.
