Relentless Dragon actually runs 40K games? I stopped there last summer when I lived in Nashua; that had like 3 boxes of WH items in stock and I walked out.

Thats what it said on their site, ill have to give them a call to make sure its not old info.

The Whiz store on route 9 off 495 is a great central Mass spot. They have 40k mini-tourneys every Tuesday night; 3 games of 1000 points each which are great for new players. They also have an active website site where you can arrange game times.

I'd like to go but im trapped at work for the weekend. If you end up going please snap some shots and post them up here.

Totalcon was fun. There were only 11 40k players, but that was cool with me because we weren't packed into the space like sardines. All nice guys from the New England Area. Metagame included:
4 Grey Knight players (one had Sisters allied another with SW)
1 CSM & IG
1 Ravenwing
1 Necron & CSM
1 Necron
1 BA & IG
1 CSM & Daemons
1 other that I missed

Forgot my camera so no photos.

The last one was another GK. Jared, Dan and Pete had straight GK, IIRC, John had allied Sisters, Mike B had allied SW. I played against Jared, Mike B and Dan.

Lonedrow, thank you for putting this together!

I just want to add some more detailed information about the gaming group at Collectibles Unlimited in Concord.

If anyone is at all interested in playing in the 40k gaming group at Collectibles Unlimited on Tuesday evenings, come on in and check us out! (I swear, we don't bite). There are currently around 8 of us. The skill levels range from fresh beginners to 15-year veterans. We mix it up week to week with standard games, themed games, hero-bashes, skirmish games, terrain building, modelling/painting etc. We play 2 - 3 Apocalypse games per year, with the next one occurring in early April. We are currently planning to play the Crusade of Fire campaign over the course of the spring, starting in the next couple weeks. The store is stocked with all the GW goodness one could want and the staff is friendly.

If anyone is around the Concord area and would like to get in a game at Collectibles Unlimited or wants to know any more information about the Concord wargaming scene, please shoot me a PM.

no problem, just post any events here and i'll update the first post with it. Im going to be working on expanding it this coming week if my work lets up .

Hello all!

I'm glad there is now a positive group of people dedicated to gaming in this area, I'd all but given up hope. I live in Derry, NH, and haven't had much luck the few times I wandered into nearby Game Castle to try and get a pickup game.

Anyone interested in setting up a game for Thursday, 1,850ish? Game Castle is nearby, but I'd be more than happy to travel to the north or south if it means hitting someone's regular haunt.

Howdy. For players living/working in Boston and/or western suburbs thereof, my club, DorkaMorka, rents out space at Watertown Square in Watertown, MA, to play every Thursday evening.

We're a diverse group of players, in our 20s, 30s, a few older. (The venue is adults only, 21+, as alcohol is served downstairs.) We have a core group of 15 or so players, and there's definitely room for more.

We play 40k, Bloodbowl, and some Malifaux.

We prefer friendly, "narrative" games. WAAC gameplay and "tournament" lists are frowned upon. Otherwise, we're a friendly bunch.

We're just starting up a 40k Spring campaign/league, and I'd say it's not too late to jump in. Or just come around and check us out if you're curious.

PM me for details, or if you prefer, wander over to our club forums at DorkaMorka to learn more, join, and set up a game in our Match Up sub-forum.

I can do Friday at Game castle, work too late on Thursday..

Hi guys, I'm Chase and I manage Battleground Games & Hobbies. We've got two locations in southeastern MA, one in Abington and one in Plainville.

Our 40k community is quite large and very active. We hold roughly 1 sizable event each month (30-40 players, more for Doubles events) in Plainville and now that the Abington store has moved into it's brand new space, we're starting to schedule larger events there too.

Please check out our message boards or find us on Facebook.


Thursday 40k happens every Thursday night in Plainville and sees 8-20 people.
The weekends in Abington see pick-up games as people come down and hang out.

Hey gang, I think I'm going to give Game Castle another shot this Tuesday if anyone else wants come.

I should be there, as usual. I usually get in a game with my friend Jamie around 7:30, but if anyone would like a game around 5:30, I'd love to throw some dice.

Yesterday's tournament at GC was fun. We had 14 people and a pretty good mix of armies. I had to remake my list at the last minute to drop a flyer as they were capping them at two. They were also allowing imperial armor, though I think only a few people brought any.

Hey Mannahnin, sound good. I'll see you there.

Any games this weekend?

Hello,
I haven't played in a very long time and I really never learned the proper rules. I was looking for a low key place to learn how to play the game. I live in the Seacoast area of NH. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you very much for your time and I appreciate the help. Hope all is well.

Have you checked out Elite Hobbies in Dover, or Jetpack Comics in Rochester? It's been a while since I was last at Elite, but I remember them being really nice. I haven't been to Jetpack, but they're newer, and I heard they specifically cater to new players and folks learning.

Thanks for the game! Your finished Dark Angels look really sharp; the Rhinos in particular make me want to go back and do more work on weathering my armies. Nice stuff.
