Tonight I got a chance to swing by Redcap's Corner in Philadelphia, PA (downtown, by UPenn's campus) for the first time in a long while and thought I'd throw up a couple updates I got just in case others missed them as well & might be interested:

- The monthly 40k league seems to be doing well. It sounded like they've had a regular 4 or so tables going on Thursdays. For the past couple months they've even expanded it out to include a regular game league on Thursdays, and a 200pt Kill Teams league on Tuesday nights. They've been using the very bare bones Kill Teams rules in the Battle Missions book, but their informal, non-competitive nature is really starting to show up---unstoppable Dreadnoughts, etc. So, they're probably going to switch to Adepticon Kill Teams rules in the new year.

- Saturday, Jan 8th they're holding a painting & scenery day. They didn't have real plans yet, but most likely low key. They were talking about it mostly in terms of a group paint session to help people get/stay motivated to paint, with people bringing in anything they have in progress and just hanging out and working on it. They're also planning on working on some more store terrain that day, with everybody pitching in as they want.

- On that note, they've definitely beefed up their terrain. Even just on the two tables I saw set up downstairs, they'd done a pretty nice job with one of the Citadel plastic tables & a bunch of modular woods, and had a really nicely done blue hued take on a Planetstrike board, complete with Landing Pad, bunch of Bastions, Aegis Defense Lines, and a Fortress of Redemption (!). They also had a bunch of assembled but unpainted Fantasy terrain in progress.

- The 40k & Fantasy stock selection on hand was not tremendously beefier than in the past, but enough to be noticeable, so they continue to make progress on it as its audience grows. One very notable thing though was that their selection of GW paint is now basically complete, they've filled out the standard display rack.

All in all, good stuff. The 40k community there definitely seems to be coming along. I'm planning on making the Kill Teams games in Jan & Feb, so if you find yourself matched against Marines with funny little broken crowns on their banners, say hi!

Sounds cool. I've only ever been there once (not even for 40k, was for a much older vice from childhood, yugioh) and it seemed like a fairly cool place. Live the whole way out in Glenside so it's a hike, but my friends and I may make our way in to check the place out sometime.
