Mk well its not as bad as once we all arrive il be locking the gates

its right next to the big Ralph food for less HQ so there is hardly anyone ever there.

Il need to check my schedule for this month and next month as it will be busy as heck.

PM me if you wanna set up something.

Happy to take the terrain on loan, Xeno. I'm glad you're still rocking Epic. My Warmaster army is painting up very slowly, I'm in a painting rut I suppose. Once I get a rhythm going though, I paint pretty quickly. Maybe going through the rules and reading more batreps will inspire me.

And absolutely happy to game again with you Xeno! Not enough blood has been spilt yet..

Hmm. I am *kind of* intrigued by 7th edition. Enough to give it a shot, anyway. I don't see myself getting back into the grind of collecting and building and painting, but... I could see running my Chaos dudes... who happen to be painted in Crimson Slaughter colors. And I have a ton of.

Yep. I've got the itch again. Want some narrative all-painted 40k games.

Well, once I get out of this painting slump, I might be able to help you out with that. Anyway, played my first game of 7th yesterday and I had a blast!

Yeah dude, you need to knockout that army with a brush!

So I'm moving down to the Torrance/Hawthorne in a month. Guess Ill be able to come to the game nights now! And yeah 7th edition is a freakn blast. The maelstrom missions make it more about strategy and less about whats left on the table turn 5. Hope to get in some games soon.

Don't get discouraged! The only way to get good at painting is to do it, and the only way to start opening up that aspect of the hobby is engage in it. Almost anything looks better than gray plastic. The Army Painter approach might be worth looking into - it garners results!

I want to affirm what Thokt says. The only way to get better is to keep doing it. I know it is hard to believe, but you really will naturally get better over time.

And, he's right - almost anything looks better than bare plastic. I'm an "all-painted" snob, meaning, I strongly prefer to play games with painted models. However, I'm not a snob when it comes to paint job. As long as you've put the effort in, I'm happy to play against your painted army. You'd be surprised - even poorly painted models look really nice on the tabletop presented as a cohesive force.

Great encouragement, i'll keep pushing!

Keep it up! Having completely painted armies takes it to another level!

Aesthetically the game immediately feels more genuine.

When you purchase a new unit, it doesn't add to an immense painting to do list, you can build and paint it and you're ready to go!

If you choose to do a battle report, folks are more likely to read and enjoy it - it harkens back to the days of well made WD battle reps.

And if you're like me, you can return to the painted models for touch-ups and improvements and enjoy the process all over again. I'm painting the guns and armaments on my Iyanden and really enjoying it!

Hi all,

I will be down in LA (Long Beach) on Wed & Thurs. Would like to get a game of 7E in if anyone's interested. I will be busy in the morning-afternoon time but can play later in the afternoon-evening time. I can play both competitive or casual. If anyone is interested, just give me a PM. Thanks.

EDIT: Meant to send as a PM. Fixed it.

Back in LA now.

The space is available for whenever.

I'm also finished moving in and my gaming room is almost up and running. If anyone wants to play let me know. I'm in Hawthorn right off Rosecrans and Hawthorn Ave.

Both of these sound great to me! I live in Downtown LA and work in Long Beach so I could easily make it to either location.

Well I'm finally settled in my house so if anyone wants to come and play a game just email me. Michaelfox9898@gmail.com

I have enough room to set up four gaming tables so if some people bring scenery and a table or two I could host mini eight person tournaments. Let me know if anyone is interested.

That sounds amazing Mike! I'm down.

Holy moly 4 tables? well that blows my currently 1 table out of the water :(

One in my gaming room/office, two can fit in the garage, and one in the living room if I slide the sectional over. My wife is cool with it.

This sounds amazing. I would be up for this, even if I had to sneak out of work!

Ooh, super cool. What area do you live in?

I'm in Hawthorne just off the 405. Message me if you want to get a game in

So someone emailed me about pick up games and I lost the email. I have no idea where it went. So email me again and lets have at it!

Hi, I'm just starting to get back in the hobby after several years, I'm located in Long Beach and I mostly just painted and collected whatever mini that looked cool. I bought mostly Ultramarines and DA units but I never really finished any because I couldn't find anyone to talk to or keep the hobby interesting. Not to mention the crazy GW price hikes!
Anyway, just looking for folks nearby willing to ease me into the gaming aspect of 40k and maybe to better my painting skills. Thanks!

Well you are more the. Welcome to my house. I'm an adiment paint and hobbiest. And I love to play. If you want to ua some kill team games to get back into it and learn 7th ed. Let me know. In in hawthorn and have a big gamin room.

@MikeFox - Thanks, that sounds great -sent you a PM

Hi everyone,

I'm both getting back into GW games and a recent arrival in the LA area. Right now I'm in Gardena, and I'm definitely interested in meeting other players.

I am a big fan of specialist games (especially BFG and Bloodbowl), but I enjoy 40k and I've been wanting to get into Warhammer.

Thanks for reading!
