So the I will call the church tomorrow to find out when the next available Saturday is. I can tell you for sure it won't be the the 7th as I preach on the 8th and can't stay out late the night before. So I would expect either the 14th or the 21st.

I think it would be cool if those of us who are able to bring a pot luck dish would, although this should be done out of the kindness of one's heart and not be seen as an obligation. I know it can be a lot of work just getting models and tables packed up and brought, I don't want to add unwanted work for folks. After all this is supposed to be fun and relaxing.

I think it would also be real cool if anyone who has a decent camera and likes to take pictures might be willing to take pictures to post in the thread. I always tell myself I am going to remember to take pictures and I always forget. I think it might be helpful to people who might be on the fence about coming to a group full of strangers to see that we are all pretty cool guys having a good time and not creepy internet serial killers looking for our next victims.

Hey, speak for yourself, buddy.

I have a nice camera ill bring te next time you guys get together.

Yeah I have a pretty good cam too, but I am not the picture taking type of guy. I would definitely be ok with letting someone who is use it for the day and record bat reps.

So it looks like September is a pretty busy month at the church (most mainline protestants have their kick off Sunday in September in order to try bring people back from summer) so I couldn't get a Saturday until the 28th. This is not set in stone as the guy who officially clears everything is in China on vacation for the next two weeks, so we will have to wait till he gets back to get on the calender thus guaranteeing we can use the space. I will update the thread when I know.

If anyone wants to play a game sometime this weekend around the santa monica los angeles area feel free to shoot me a PM! Thanks

Are we on for the 28th?

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the late information but I just got the final confirmation that we do in fact have the space for the 28th. We can start playing at 1:00 and end around midnight. As always I will provide drinks, if you want to pitch in I recommend bringing some snacks to share with everyone.

Looks like I can make this one!

Ah fiddlesticks. I wont be there earlier on but I can try to make it later in the day.

So I just got an email from the church. Looks like we can't start until 2:00 and we have been moved to the Community Hall which is just a room over from the room we played in the last few times. Sorry for the last minute information. I am sort of the low man on the totem pole when it comes to get space there, but I really can't complain too much. Hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

So I want to try out the new space marine codex this Saturday but I am missing a lot of stuff. I have appropriate proxies for a lot of it but I am wondering if anyone has an extra drop pod and thunderfire cannon model they would let me use?

Also I would be interested in hearing some of your guys thoughts on the codex and what units I should be looking at. I already picked up a box of sternguard and love the kit, if it were $10 less I would grab another one just to get a second heavy flamer and all the awesome bits it comes with. I am also strongly considering getting 5 LotD units as ignores cover plasma weapons are awesome. My only reservations are that they models are finecast and I have heard mixed things about the quality.

I own like 30+ space marine bikes in various stages of completion (picked up most of them second hand and have not had the time to show them all the TLC they need) so I think I could run a decent white scars type army. I think 5 man groups with 2 grav guns look pretty good and plan on trying that out once I get more bikes built.

I honestly have not really seen the space marine flyer models in person and would be really grateful to anyone who could bring any on Saturday for me to look at. The rules for them look decent but I would seriously think about proxying in anther flyer model as a count as. Some times I look at them and they look cool, other times I am not so certain, and you never really know till you see a decently painted one in person.

Thanks for hosting again, Goatman! Small turnout this time, but still a lot of fun.

Just throwing it out there, but I can't make the 12th due to family visiting then.

What about the 26th? Is that a possibility - gives us more time to rally the warband, if you will.

The 26th sounds good to me!

Awesome oct 26 sounds great, count me in

We need to hear from Goatman! And I'm with Xeno on getting an email list going as well.

Any word on a possible date yet, Goatman? I got the whole Epic crew dying to stop by!

Sorry folks the church is completely booked for October :(. The next date that was available was November 23rd. I said I wanted it so I hope there are no unforeseen conflicts on that day.

HA that be my birthday. what a coincidence.

You get a five point list bonus on your bday.

Ok, November 23rd it is, then. Anyone got ideas for another venue? I'll keep thinking about it.

I don't know another venue per se, but I'd be down for getting the group together at Game Empire or the Bunker. Not as good, but a reasonable alternative for a great group, perhaps?

I'd love to get in on it. Put me down for showing up. I don't know if there is anything else I can think of. American Martyrs might be willing to give us an upstairs room in their hall like once a week on saturdays or something. I can talk to them and see.

Also The Bunker is pretty good, as is Aero Hobbies in Santa Monica.

Aero is really tiny and the group is quite big.

I believe The Bunker is super tiny now. They closed down that big gaming room.

Aero is small and smelly...

Only real alternative I can think of is Game Empire... I'd be willing to drive out there for a day of awesomeness.

Woh they closed it?
If your talking about the GW bunker yeah

But the LA bunker in lakewood should still be open unless something happened with in the last week.

Oh! Sorry, I didn't know the place in Lakewood was called the Bunker. No, as far as I know, that is still open.

Yeah, that could work for me. It's probably about the same distance as Game Empire for me, and probably easier to get to... I love Game Empire, but Pasadena is never easy to get to.

Shall we make plans for a meetup? Say maybe Saturday 11/9?

Sounds good. I think Il finally have a fully painted 1000 point list by then if anyone is down for lower points or a doubles game.
