AH, wasnt aware that you guys hadnt done a grand opening.

Yeah, right now it's kind of just open for people to come in an play (which of course, it still will be when it's all good to go), and I believe they're just going to wait on the major events until there's a stronger base of people.

Sadly I wasn't able to make it yesterday (I was too busy rocking out at an air guitar competition), but from what I gather, it sounds like they're planning to do a "hobby swap meet" next Saturday which should basically be a bazaar bazaar, mercenary market... whatever you want to call it!

Hopefully I can get more details on how exactly they're planning to run it and I can throw it all up on here to snag some interest!

The same weekend as the Anime Expo tournament. Sorry I wont be able to make it, got dice to roll.

Looks like they finally got their sign, so it should be much easier to spot now!

I was just there. Sorry, not impressed. The selection of merch is pitiful, mostly Third Planet's old stuff. The gaming area is quite big though.

They are just starting up so the stock is not all there but I ordered some stuff from them and they got it in a week.

A week?! Sorry, not gonna order something and wait a week, just to pay full price.

In their defense most companies wont allow you to order until you have a sign which was holding them back. Now that their intro order from GW (something that is required) is finished, andthey have a sign, their stock should begin to increase quite a bit.

Any photos of the tables and terrain available?

There are some pictures people playing on the tables on face book.

also they do have a 10% discount on gw stuff iirc

They currently have 4 realm of battle boards, and 4 tables that are still being prepared, although you can play on them (I have a few times).

And yes, there is currently a 10% discount on GW products.

I'll try to get some pics of the individual tables next time I'm there.

I went last Saturday to check the store out and play a game with a friend. The people there were pretty nice and the tables seemed decent (looks like they still have a bunch of stuff still in moving boxes).

One of the owners told me that they picked up the stock from third planet when it closed almost a year ago and some furniture and cases from the battle bunker.

I hope this works out for them and the community, Really seems like if everything is handled right everyone could win.

My biggest complaint is that is has pretty awful freeway access and even though its "closer" than the battle bunker was it took about ten more minutes to get to.

Great news for those of you who have been asking about 40k Tournaments, looks like they're holding one this Saturday.

Looks like 2013 points, 3 rounds, normal scenarios.

Here's there direct quote:

you have asked for it so here it is!! 40k EVENT this saturday!! this will be a three round event. games will be straight out of the 40k rulebook. no special added rules. static pre set up terrain. 2013 point lists!(yes next year will be 2014 points). with this amount of points it lets you have those few extra above 2000. and it will allow for allies if you choose. games will start at 11:30. strive to eat first before you come down. after first round we will take a short break. i already know we have a huge demand for this EVENT. so post if you can attend as we need to set up the tables in advance.

This is rather last minute... BUT ILL BE THERE! Is this going to be double force org silliness or a 1999+ 14 tournament? Also whats the round length, painting required, and will there be a painting award?

I forgot to ask about double, but paint is not required. not stricked wysiwyg book missions iirc

Sounded like the double force org ridiculous is being allowed based off their quote...

with this amount of points it lets you have those few extra above 2000. and it will allow for allies if you choose.

I am actually playing my first 40k game this weekend assuming there's room left over from the tournament, so I'm not entirely sure if that's what you were referring to O.o

Confirmed double force orgs.

Fun, fun. I got the whole painted force ready for some dice rolling silliness.

Good news for those of you who might be wanting to come in and play, buy, or order something... The one and only me will be running the shop on Sundays and Mondays starting tomorrow!

I also know there's been some delay in the building of proper terrain and tables, but since I'll be there for quite some time, you should all hopefully see some tables soon to take shape! We have quite a few plans for some of the tables, including a necromunda table, but if anyone has some suggestions or ideas I would be more than happy to take them and possibly even put them to use, as we have 4 tables to work with from scratch, and we'll more than likely be building even more after that to throw in some variety!

Looking forward to hopefully seeing some of you come down and play! If I recall correctly the store is open until 8 tomorrow!

It would be incredible if there were a Mordheim table.

I have plans for that as well! The plan (eventually... as I'll be the only one working on it, and only Sunday Monday, possibly Saturdays) is to make the remainder of the tables out of 2x2 tiles, much like the realm of battle baords, so that they can easily be put under tables and replaced my differently textured boards, etc. Should hopefully allow for a lot of versatility throughout the game systems!

What are the hour for the store?

Monday-Friday: 12-8
Saturday: 10-10 (generally stays open later if people are there)
Sunday: 12-6

I believe Fridays are usually open a later when people are there. Last Friday we stayed open until around 1:30 since there was a lot of magic going on.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've updated this thread, but I wanted to let you all know that we're doing a "Black Market" this upcoming Saturday.

Starting at 1:00 p.m. you can bring in your stuff, lay it out on a table, and try to sell it. If it does sell, the store will get the money and you'll get a 100% of it back in store credit. You can sort of imagine it to be like a swap meet.

Hopefully some of you can make it down and either buy or sell some stuff!

(I'll also probably be posting in this thread more often as we solidify events that we're doing. I know we're planning to launch a couple leagues soon for 40k/Fantasy/WarmaHordes, and possibly even some tournaments as well!)

Another little update/question for you all.

Now that I'm working the store on Saturdays, I'm really looking to get tournaments and leagues going (as I briefly mentioned in the previous post).

Currently, there's a large amount of people starting up Warmachine/Hordes (since many of our 40k/Fantasy players came from the old GW Bunker, they're realizing there's other, perhaps even better games!) so I'm looking to start up a Journeyman League in a couple weeks, followed by a Steamroller Tournament at the end of it.

Would any of you be interested in something like this, or do you have any specific requests for leagues or tournaments?

For the Journeyman league we should be using the actual Privateer Press packages which means patches for all who join and even more for the winners, and for the Steamroller Tournament that means either certificates or medals.

If everything goes well and we see some growth in the game, this also means we'll be able to host bigger events with even bigger prize support.

Any suggestions or inquiries would be greatly appreciated as we prepare to start up this league!

The Black Market and 40k tournament went extremely well, so we're on to the next event!

Starting this upcoming Saturday, we're beginning our Journeyman League for Warmachine and Hordes. We're already at 20 people, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a game. It will go on for 6 weeks as Journeyman Leagues do, and at the end of it on week 7 we'll be running a Steamroller event!

If any of you want to get in on the League simply call the shop to sign up (562-422-5636), come down to sign up, or show up on Saturday (or any day after!) and we'll get you going. We're encouraging people to try and start new armies since it's a cheap and effective way to start an army, but if not, any army you already have will work.

If you guys have any questions about the League let me know and I'll be sure to answer them!

Hope to see some Dakka members in action!

Doesn't seem that I ever posted pictures of the tables at the Bunker, so I'm going to try and get that done (assuming people are still interested), but in the mean time, I figured I'd throw up a picture of this past Saturday's Warhammer 40k Bunker Bash (basically a tournament).

Lots of gaming, plenty of space, and still expanding!

Oh wow, looks awesome, and no redshirts. I must check it out.

I noticed nobody has submitted the info for this store into the Dakka store finder, so I went ahead and added it:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/store_details.jsp?s=1217


However, since I've never been there, I had to go by what other people had said about it, so if there is anything wrong or incomplete, please feel free to edit the info and it will get updated (after a moderator approval).

Also, is the store owner a Dakka member, or are you the 'official' representative of the store at this point? Because we do have a section on that store finder info page to add a store owner (or official rep if the store owner isn't on) to the store info page so people on Dakka would be able to click through to you (or the owner's user profile) to ask questions, etc, here on Dakka.
