Rythem: cool. Sunday at 11 am. 2000 points.

Hey Optimus, you said you were ordering Battlefoam stuff, and I am just curious how much your bag cost you.

I don't have a bag right now so Im planning to get something to fit all my Dark Eldar stuff and Necron stuff...

Should I get the custom foam or pluck foam?
Like which one holds more?

Any good recommendations?

oh and what's standard loadout and custom loadout on their page, haven't found any info on their page yet...

like I found some pics of the full pluck foam, but it seems that there are a lot of vehicle foam instead of infantry which would be a mix in need for me...

I spent just under $300 with shipping for my stuff but I got the 720 full of pluck foam plus the Space m=Marine Foam for the 430.

There are 3 types of foam you can get:

Pluck foam- You pick it out yourself and make the sapes you want. Great for custom models that won't fit in regular shapes. I used this for 2 Stormravens, because in BF the don't want the models touching, I was ok with a small part of the models touching so I made my own.

Pre-cut foam- IMHO the best option. They ahve alot of pre cut foam for all the armies. You can find it on their website and just go throught them all. This is what I mostly used and I think it's the best deal $$$-wise

Custom-Cut foam- You use the tray creator on their website and you can set up the foam loadout yourself. They are ususall $3-$5 morwe a tray than the pre-cut stuff, but you can get the exact load out you want. I'm lazy so I didn't want to sit down and do it this way.

As for which holds more- It depends on if you want space between all out models or are fine with throwing them all in together.

Here's a link to the DE foam: http://us.battlefoam.com/categories/Battle-Foam-Trays-%2815.5-x-12%29/Warhammer-40K/Dark-Eldar/

Necron foam: http://us.battlefoam.com/categories/Battle-Foam-Trays-%2815.5-x-12%29/Warhammer-40K/Necron/

The load out for the bag:
Standard-Means it's filled with generic foam cut outs
Custom-Means it's filled with your custom cut foam

Hope that helps

So there's no way to get a combination of them?

I am thinking of getting the 1520 since I have quite a bit of stuff...

For the custom cut foam they allow you to enter some standard tray foams, is that where I enter the precut ones maybe?

Well, I think pluck foam is better overall for space since one Monolith tray is like 6" tall...

but the thing is I don't really want to pluck everything for the infantry, so I guess it comes down back to if it is possible to have a bit of both...?

Are you putting in an order soon?
With the discount that you said you had or something?

We can split the shipping depending on how much each one of us orders~

Not to keep pimping the store, but Meeplemart is one of the only Canadian stores to carry a full line of Battle Foam. Save some money and get it there.

Makutsu: I have pluck foam cases for my Dark Eldar army, and I actually liked being able to format the slots to the particular needs of my army. With our troops and vehicles, depending on if the gun is pointing up or outward, etc, the need to be able to customize is very important. It's a bit of a hassle to pull out all the stuff, but then you have it for added protection to fill spaces, etc. Anyway, I'm sure Optimus will get you straightened away. Otherwise, just ask the guys at Legends the next time you are in playing. They always have fair prices.

Anybody play Infinity here?

Me and my friend were talking about it and did some research sounds like an amazing game, you should all go check it out~

I buy every stupid game known to mankind. If its good, I will get an army (if applicable)

I have also been looking at flames of war. Love the models and era.

so do you play infinity?
Would love to try it out with someone~

I've never played it. I don't even know what it is. I will look it up online and check it out.

everyone should check it out, this game seems much more in depth.
Best of all it's cheaper!

Hey Sharp,

What's going on with Sunday gaming there?

Is it still a league going on or is it just regular gaming now?

I fear I can't speak for Sharp, but I believe there are still 2 more weeks of the campaign. After that, it will be regular games as usual, I think.

Rythem: are we on for tomorrow? Please confirm. 2000 pts. 11 am

The campaign is still going (2 more weeks) but that shouldn't stop you from coming down and getting a game in. Might have to wait for someone else's game to finish, but I'll make sure you find a partner!

Hey Rythem, Dark do you guys want to do a 2v2 tomorrow?

Eldar/dark eldar vs Daemons and Chaos Marines? 1999+1x4?

I'm up for anything, though I was going to proxy does that bother you at all.

Not at all

Cool! I keep wanting to come by, once my course load lightens up I will make my way down there

You can buy the trays in individuals, packages or with the bags.

If you do want a good look at it go take a look at meeplemart. I'm not sure on his prices so i can't comment on the BF stuff, but he usually does have very good prices for everything else.

I won't be doing an order super soon, but once I get my bike army sorted I will be. Yes I get a discount with them, but I do pay for shipping, so dependingon what you want Meeeple mart may be a better option.

Plus it's always good to support a local LGS!

Anybody want to come by my place and play some warhammer or war machine? The stores are usually closed Mondays, but I want to play. I have 2 x 6x2 foot tables that we could squeeze together. Let me know. Earlier is better. I'd like to begin well before my wife comes home from work. Let me know or pm me, or call me 647-887-5756.

Ha ha..
Oh, by the way, the invite goes out to everyone except Optimus. Anyone greater than a rating of 10/10 on the 'annoying' scale is not welcome! He he... just kidding Optimus (a bit).

Actually, I can accommodate a few guys if anyone wants to play something... I'm even up for a few board games... anyway, let me know sooner versus later. I would want to finish sometime before 7 p.m. if possible (need to spend evening time with my wife).

Great game between the forces of chaos and the eldar alliace on Sunday. Rythem, I found that rule we were looking for with regards to bases. Pg. 4 Measuring distances, 3rd paragraph.

Yes, it was a great game... the tables seemed to turn by about round 4; the eldar partnership began to crumble and Vect decided to hold the Dais of Destruction back, out of harm's way, finding joy in the carnage that unfolded in the front lines.

True. I'm sure he'll be back.
All I know is the very last thing to happen was my Chaos lord finally killed something (even though he was locked in combat with that damned Seer council from the top of turn two all the way to the bottom of turn 5) and became a daemon prince. Then a 2 was rolled and the eldar fled the field. Leaving the Chaos marines holding the relic. Slaneesh will be pleased.

lol, yeah was a great game, I love those big point games, especially when it's 2v2. Sadly DEE got to see what happens with eldar, which is the longer the game goes the worse they perform, we tend to do a good chunk of our damage on the first couple turns. Plus my hq never died so as far as i'm concerned your captain was still going to die to my bikeseer. You have to rememeber the eldar know the future, that entire fight was part of the plan . I'm thinking about heading down to HSG this week to see what "new" used mini's they have picked up since I was there last, would be nice to get a couple new things to expand what I can field.
