Genghis Cohen posted:So this evening a friend & regular 40k opponent and I went round a local gaming cafe to play some random people. This place is walking distance from my flat, so I figured it was worth the effort. I’d asked on the place’s Facebook page if anyone was up for a game. Always a bit chancy, but what do I have to lose eh? I had some fun games of 40k with this lot when I lived in brum: http://www.octoberwargames.co.uk/

You're sorely tempting me to do the Gentlemans on Thrusday and something else on Friday. But no, I'm already blowing a bunch of vacation time on some family baloney in January so I'm sticking to my schedule. wife made some bad noises when I floated this idea Option 2, go to work on Friday and Gentleman's thursday. I had a really good experience at the Gentleman's Tourney at Dragon Fall.

Going to make Forgeworld purchase. Grabbing a Falchion and either a Leviathan with 2xGrav Bombard, or a Fire Raptor. I have heard the Fire Raptor is a pain in the rear end to assemble. So, i am leaning towards the Leviathan. Any thoughts before I order?

I'm in Birmingham and extremely not competitive (my armies aren't the super hard tournament kind), though I'm likely to try to rope you into Shadespire and possibly even filming games to put them on the internet. I have been working away a lot recently and I'm trying to find the time to put together a set up for gaming at home and enough terrain to do so. Where in Brum are you?

Thanks! Yeah, I'd imagine he doesn't get it because he didn't get the Flickerfield effect that Warp Spider units get (which also has an "oops, we died" effect.) A bit of risk is always fun though. Maybe he'll see the table yet. :3

Yo my dudes - Colin Ward from The Independent Characters podcast had his really amazing AdMech army stolen today out of his house. He's up in the San Jose, CA area. Keep an eye out for it on trade sites and what not if you can. Really lovely.

I slept in a little tonight and wasn't on to jump right on registration, and both of the Gentlemen's are filled. There's really not much else on this list I really want to be at, so maybe I'll give Adepticon a pass this year.

goose willis posted:Are thieves seriously stealing 40k stuff now It's not an uncommon occurrence. Because people keep their precious space barbies in heavy cases, most thieves think they're guns/expensive equipment and swipe them. Or they realise what it is and try to flip them online. Or there was this one time a crackhead stole a box of Elves off the shelf at the store I worked, then sold it to the pawn shop DIRECTLY AROUND THE CORNER. That was an experience.

I've been having trouble sleeping tonight due to being sick so I picked up The Devastation of Baal as soon as it came available. And because there are some things that I really need to know I looked at the end. A bunch of stuff happens thats mostly important for Blood Angels fans but there's one change that's worth noting for everyone: Guilliman names Dante the leader of the Imperium Nihilus, which consists of everything north of the rift Edit:I wonder if this will be reflected in the rules for Dante, making him a mini-Guilliman Pendent fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Nov 18, 2017 |

Yeah, although i’m happy to play against a competitive army, I don’t really want every game to be a grinding slog against the biggest characters, cheapest chaff wounds, most smiting psykers etc in the game. I’m in digbeth though and happy to know any of these guys. Being a cool dude is worth more than any army list for having a good game. No, the place was called Geek Retreat. I will look meeple mayhem up now.

Yeah, I'm Birmingham based and I now have all my painted Carcharadons back from the cabinets in GW Birmingham (they still have some of my terrain though) and I can easily put together 1000 points/50 levels of marines. I've also got all the current Shadespire stuff. I generally am available weekends as well. October is a solid club with a big variety of stuff. The Geek retreat crowd can be a bit 'that guy' but there are in fact two different crowds, one that used to be the Manaleak group (before they left some terrain with Manaleak and it went missing) and the GW Birmingham club. I will sometimes be in GW Birmingham painting on a Thursday night, but nowhere near as much as I used to since my girlfriend moved in.

There was nothing wrong with the guys at geek retreat per se - they just had none of the personality which makes for a good game! (Although perhaps they went away saying the same of me, I shouldn’t judge) Give me a bell if you fancy a game on the weekend, in any case, 1000 points works well for my table. jasper_clifford at hotmail.com

I'm guessing that means no codex releases for the rest of November. There aren't a ton of release windows in December before Christmas so I'm beginning to expect we'll see both books at the same time. I just want my Codex  The Devastation of Baal has me really excited for my Blood Angels.

They said before the end of the year at the beginning of November so a lot of us have been holding out hope for a late November release. Pretty unlikely at this point though.

(Although perhaps they went away saying the same of me, I shouldn’t judge) I think there is a lot to be said for the more sociable and chill things than meeting strange guys in clubs. My biglys aren't all painted, and they definitely aren't competition level. I will dig them out though.
