A solid group of friends have been meeting up at the Plainville store every Thursday night around 6:30 - 7 PM for the past few months to play 40k. We've all played each other many times, so some new blood would be fun! We practice to be competitive, but it's all fun.
I play Chaos Space Marines. There is a Tau player and a couple Space Marines players. Also, one Witchhunters / Daemonhunters / IG player.
Introduce yourself here or at the store, and let the magic of social networking commence!
EDIT (6/13/15): Same Warhammer, new night! No longer Thursdays, but now Tuesday 40k.
-
He's just scared of the endless railguns!
But Thursday night 40K is excellent.
I'm thinking 1750 for the upcoming Thursday.

I wouldn't say I'm scared so much as it's a lesson learned 5 times over.
For others reading in, we run usually between 1750-2000 points.
We haven't played doubles in quite some time either, so that would be fun.
-
if you guys are gonna do i 40k night Im down i probbly have talked to you before i play magic then cause i dont get out of work until 830 ish
-
I know you guys are talking about Thursday night... Just to let you know there is a fair share of us that play 40k on Tuesday nights starting at 4pm going till close... There are a few that switch to fantasy later on. Just FYI
-
This Tuesday's not good for me, but still good to know! If you see a guy in the corner holding a sign that says "Warhammer 40k", that'll be me.
-
I can start doing Thursday nights. Since snowboarding season has opened I've been missing my usual Saturdays at Abington. I'll start coming at the plainville store, just let me know what time. I play DA and have a huge collection for you guys to pick away at.
-
I'll be there Thursday early afternoon for a scheduled game, then be free for whoever shows up thereafter. This Thursday may turn into All Day 40k.
Dark Angels vs. CSM perhaps, Epic Battle of the Below Average Codices!
-
Sorry I missed last Thursday, all the snowfall left me plowing for the day. Needed the extra fundage. I most likely won't be able to make this upcoming Thursday either due to a snowboarding trip. Would love to face ya though.

Quite alright. Last night, a 3v3 game broke out. :D

Who ended up winning, I had to leave at the bottom of turn 5 I believe

It didn't go on long after that, as the dice never got any better for the Imperium, and they surrendered victory to the Xenos team of Chaos Marines / Necrons / Eldar.
-
go xenos!
-
I know of six people showing up Thursday 40k, unlike last week where I by my lonesome met and played against new people. The horror of being happy!
-
There has been some talk of Thursday 40k this week at the store. I know of at least 1 person who is really looking forward to it and another 2 players that will be around.
I'm liking how Thursdays are shaping up to be an awesome 40k night in Plainville. :)
-
Another great 40k night tonight. There were two one-on-one games (Chaos Space Marines vs. Sisters/IG and Necrons vs. Dark Eldar), and a 2v2 game (Sisters/IG & Space Marines vs. Blood Angels & Tau) practicing for the events at this year's TempleCon. So three diverse tables going, and a fourth with a Fantasy game with a sweet looking Tomb Kings army. A few more weeks like this and we'll have to get a bouncer and some velvet ropes.
-
Wednesday night into Thursday we could be seeing up to another foot of snow. Meh! Hard to keep any plans this week without knowing how problematic the weather is going to be or not be. (That is the question.)
If the roads are clear, I'm there, showing up with my proxy Noise Marines list, ready to melt faces and rock the ladies.
-
I'm gonna try to show up on Thursday with my friend bassma (space marines) and possibly theron (orks) as long as the weather doesn't prevent it.

Yay, Finally coming?

I came today, However, I had to leave unexpectedly at 6:40. I didn't get to play any games D:.

I must have just missed you, I was in at 6:45.
There were about 10 people playing Magic, a heady WH Fantasy game, a 40k game (which Wes & I played to a draw) and Castle Ravenloft board game was busted out. That game looks fun, like Battlestar Galactica and Betrayal at House on the Hill had a D&D baby that was actually fun.
-
Oh well, I can't really stay too late on thursdays anyway. So I probably won't be able to play at many of these nights.

Which ended up as an epic morale victory for the Necrons of over 1000 VP ( see: Tie ) Unfortunately between daemon princes getting murdered and some of the most unlucky rolling I've seen, the last remaining 3 chaos members were able to make it to the statue and contest it.
-
TempleCon is draining off the usual crew, so I'll be looking for a game this Thursday, and I can be there whenever.
Do keep in mind, some projections for this week's storm has it running from tomorrow night through Wednesday and into Thursday.
-
Assuming the snow isn't too dreadful I'll be there as usual
( And assuming I finish this pointless stupid Time consuming "fun" research paper )
-
Small 40k crowd tonight, but Ed and I met Brian and I got to thank Mike for his part in returning my wandering rulebook to me. After Ed destroyed my Noise Marine list with Daemons in amazingly quick fashion, we put our Daemon armies together in a 4000 point showdown against the new Dark Angels. My first time running Daemons and it was very educational. Despite me being on the wrong end of two lopsided games, I had quite a bit of fun. Props to Matt for keeping the store open a bit later than usual. :D
20 Pink Horrors - 57 Str 4 AP 4 shots, plus 1 Str 8 AP 1 shot. That vs. Samiel, and he's like "B**** please! My squad will take no wounds from that!"
Breath of Chaos = "Oh, you didn't know??"
Two bottles of hot water will unfreeze car door locks.
-
fun fun fun.
-
I won't be there this Thursday! I'd rather be there, but I have to look after my cousin for the evening. I wish I could just bring her along, but at 20 months old, she's such a freakin' baby about everything. I'll be at the store tomorrow at some point and likely give Tuesday night a try.
-
if you want to play ill bring da orks i dunno plans yet tho
-
Ed, you rule.
-
You should come down to one of these nights Paul. They play the game is a different style then up north, crazy what a 40min drive can do.
-
I'm confirming this Thursday no one from my group of friends, including myself, will be able to make it. They're all recovering from 18+ hours of 40k at TempleCon this past Saturday alone, and some have to make up the time to their wives. (Suckers!)
Thursday the 17th should be a grand revival. Anyone new/infrequent can find opponents to practice against your 1850 list for the Singles Tournament on the 19th! (Especially if you schedule in this thread.)

Im coming for sure this week. Need to play against a race that every unit doesn't end in gaunt, gon, or osaurus. I can only roll so many sixes to wound. ( And only one nightbringer to behead everything )

Great time playing you guys and extremely educational. It was the first time I've ever played against a demon army with deathwing and ravenwing. I still can't believe an entire bike squad went down to breath of chaos. Quite funny. Sammiel still died because he is a little bitch and much like sonya blade in mortal combat. No ballz and weak as a kid that doesn't know where the beach is. If it wasn't for the land speeder squadrons, epic shooting from the hurricane bolters on the raiders and belial's lightning claw terminators - I would have been crushed. Thanks for the opportunity and fun as it was the first time I've ever cleared the table in a victory and a battle that I still can't get out of my head. See you this Thursday!
-
See you this Thursday!
I won't be there this week, but look for Wes (Mirrorlord). He's the guy with two Necron Monoliths that hate me.

( My Nightbringer would also hate you but I don't think I've fielded him against you to much use yet :(

I don't get it enlighten me.
-
His monoliths are painted in a banana yellow color.
... why is that, by the way?
-
Probably from a banana death world
-
Don't you know that banana yellow is the new black? ;)
-
They come from Tomb World IX871 also known to Earth as: The Planet of the Apes
Being located on an ape planet, stereotypes say that there should be an exorbitant amount of bananas. When the Necrons woke up from the tombs, and started to reclaim the world the apes fought back. (mostly by uselessly throwing bananas at the monoliths which permanently stained the metal Banana Yellow ) And that is the reason why the Necrons are out to kill anything living, just because of an injured resale value on the monoliths.
Seriously though, I really don't know why most of my Necrons are yellow. I guess the normal grey/black color scheme was boring.
And yes, Banana Yellow IS the new black
-
Very Small crowd tonight. One game of Space Marine/Orks vs Necrons, and one Fantasy game of Skaven vs High elves (?)
-
I've been getting the itch to get back into 40k (having not played since the original Dark Eldar codex was out). If I were to stop by with some models and would someone be up for running me through the rules again (since I'm very much stuck in a 3rd edition mindset!!). I do have the new book and will work on reading through that but would be keen on just jumping back in if possible!
I have a fair amount of Tau and may work on 'modernizing' my Dark Eldar as the newer models are pretty sweet.

Hey Anthony,
This Thursday night there are likely to be a number of practice games for the tournament on Saturday. (To others: *hint hint!*) I'm still trying to collect a firm number so I know whether I need to be someone's practice dummy.
That said, I think I'm a softy for reacquainting people with 40k. I love breaking everything down in slow motion. If not Thursday night, you can pick pretty much any other night and I'd be glad to put you through 5th Edition basic training. I'm more familiar with Tau than I am Dark Eldar, so bring the fish to start. :D

The Necrons are always willing to use the Marines of Chaos of targeting practice. Run towards me all you want and don't take any vehicles.
-
Starting sometime after 6:30 tonight...
My Daemons should be fighting Blood Angels tonight. Wes' Banana-crons will be in the house, and I believe Ed said his Daemons will arrive later in the evening. (I want to reiterate that the Daemons vs. Daemons game Ed and I played last night was an all-time favorite.)
Another friend who plays Space Marines is likely to show up, as is a Witch Hunters / IG player. That's a pretty solid half-dozen, and to anyone reading this is still free to show up and issue blanket challenges / practice requests.
Everyone tonight is packing 1850 for tournament practice, or at least that's the general idea.
-
Ben, thanks for spearheading this whole Thursday night effort.
It seems pretty awesome. :)
-
I plan of trying to come down with 1850 as well. We'll see how work treats me first.
-
Three 40k games and a Fantasy game tonight, so a solid turnout for this week's Unofficial Thursday 40k.
- Daemons vs Blood Angels to a Turn 5 draw. A lucky, lucky draw. *shakes fist*
- Space Marines vs the combined forces of an AoBR kit. A learning experience, Cobra Kai style.
- Witch Hunters / IG vs Necrons. The Necrons didn't Phase Out, so it's like they won. :P
For those who prefer to live in the past, Empire vs Skaven. I don't know if the humans pulled out the victory or whether we have to welcome our new rat overlords.
Let's do it again next week!
-
There was wonder if Thursday 40k would continue this week post-singles tournament. The answer: yes!
Regular time for me, around 6:30 unless someone wants a game at another time.
I didn't reach my tournament goal of finishing in the top half (16th out of 28) despite winning 2 out of 3 games, but I'm driven more than ever to learn more and play better. Hopefully others are similarly motivated.
-
Another decent turnout, even if we collectively got started a bit later than usual.
Space Marines vs Witch Hunters / IG
Chaos Daemons vs Blood Angels
Orks vs Necrons
More new players!
-
Glad to see this is turning out well. If I lived closer I would love to go. I will try to make it one of these weeks. Are you playing a specific points value/missions or just whatever people feel like?
-
If you can make it, fantastic! The more, the merrier. If you don't want to read the wall of text below, just know that we pretty much do whatever.
I'm driving the Thursday nights to be both fun and competitive with the overall goal of helping each other become better tournament players. Ours is a great time to try out something completely crazy or really stacked or anything in between. With a regular schedule of Thursday around 6:30-7, we have a solid group of players that keep coming back for more.
General preference seems to be lists between 1500-2000 points. People will gladly play smaller lists; bigger lists would probably just require an earlier start time. :)
If you want to practice for an upcoming tournament, bring the mission and someone will jump in almost as a priority. ;)
-
Red Scopions are allmost done, gonna whip them out maybe this week.
-
I'll be around Thursday, and I am hoping to either let the Daemons loose against Wescron's Bananaramas or Matt's stupid Null Zone Librarian.
-
Unfortunately I can't make it this Thursday, Ill be there Tuesday ( possibly ) and Saturday. Then the decade old technology of the Necrons will somehow not loose against daemons twice in a half-hour period. ( Daemon Princes with Wings are too fast for me to catch and easily sweep my warriors )
-
Today's 40k report, there was...
Daemons vs Space Marines feat. Fateweaver vs. Null Zone Librarian!
Orks vs Space Marines
Blood Angels vs Imperial Guard
Ed and I also split two quick 1250 games of Daemons vs Red Scorpions (w/ Blood Angels codex).
By the way, my Daemons and I are looking for a Doubles partner for the tournament next month. (At least I'm pretty sure it's next month.)
-
Forums have been busy this week, this thread nearly bumped to the second page.
I'm laid up with flaring sinuses, and in a rarity will miss a week. *gasp!* I know two friends will be there, and they're always up for playing new people.
-
Any chance of my white deck appearing so I can take it to PAX tomorrow?
-

That must be you, Jason. I woke up feeling better, so I'll pop some medicine and get down to Plainville with your cards sometime this afternoon. I'll leave them with Matt behind the counter.
I'll also send a PM with a recap of how Friday/Sunday's MtG adventures went (abridged version: not well).
-
me and jason are going to be there at 3
-
Due to unforseen circumstances I will most likely not be able to come on Thursdays for awhile.
-
won't be there this week gonna play some warmachine. =(
-
Ooh, I know you've been looking to get some WM in.
Last week, a couple of us were hit by the Nurgles. Attendance should be healthier this week, so to speak.
Update: Attendance was a bit healthier. Witch Hunters / IG vs Space Marines and Blood Angels vs Necrons. Next week should feature doubles action!
-

If you could even call the Blood Angels vs Necrons a game, the Necrons suffered the loss of a monolith, 3/5 the Nightbringer's Wounds, and phaseout. Blood Angels lost a stormraven and 6 Marines. Windows 40,000 needs an update :D
-
Your dice failed pretty hard most of that game. The 5-man assault squad should have been dead, and there should have been more destroyed metal bawkses. I think every damage roll for you was "weapon destroyed".
-
I am planning on heading up this Thursday since I am on vacation this week. I would be down for whatever; singles, doubles, mega etc.
-
i quit my job so like i should be there. Its not like i have anything else to do.
-
Looks like a decent turnout might be had this Thursday in preparation for the doubles tournament.
We'll have a Blood Angels / Tau team on hand. I'll be there (and hopefully my doubles partner Big Sam will be there). Another player confirmed, in addition to the above two. That's 6 total we know about.
-
As mentioned I will be heading up as well. I am bringing myself and a friend and possibly even my doubles partner if he can free himself up.
-
Wow, unbelievable turnout tonight! All six tables full up, and two of them running doubles.
Daemons & Space Marines vs Blood Angels & Tau (Thank you, Fateweaver! Too bad Mephiston used Corbulo's re-roll to escape the Boon of Mutation! :P )
Daemons vs Imperial Fist
Daemons vs Death Wing
Witch Hunters (w/ IG) vs Orks
I don't know the sides in the other doubles game, but I think those guys usually run Tau, Orks and Space Marines. There was a fantasy game, with Orks and... I don't know, I was too busy coveting the sweet, sweet Arachnarok model.
Bill & Jared, sorry again Sam & I were only just getting our act together tonight. I imagine winning your games was consolation enough though. :) I really want to play against one and/or both of you at some point.
To all-comers, Sam & I are looking for some practice next Wednesday night. Let us know if you're game!
Next Thursday, same bat(tleground) time, same bat(tleground) channel!
-
Ben, you're awesome.
Here's hoping we can get Bill, Jared, Keith and the gang to come out more often on Thursday nights. I love having those guys around.
-
and she grows
-
No worries Ben, I had a great game and got to practice against my armies bane (tri-LR) so its all good. hopefully I will get to come down more often it is tough though unless I am on vacation like I am this week.
Thanks for having us!
-
Forum's so busy, we got bumped from the front page in just a week!
Looks like the turnout should be good this week. It'd be nice to match last week's store-filling madness. :D
-
ill be there for like 5 mins
-
Does any of the thursday gamers have a Daemon weapon by chance, like a bloodletters sword or something? I am looking for the bit and will be in Plainsville tonight.
-

Yes, I have one! Left over from a Bloodcrusher who used a different option.
I'm hoping for it to be in Plainville when you get there. Whether I'll be there, not sure, as I'm on my way to the doctor for this worsening cold. But the doctor is just a couple miles down the road, so I can drop it off if I'm not able to go tonight.
-
Thats awesome thanks Ben, do you want anything for it. I have many bits and so on or can do store credit.
-
Can't go because of the bad weather :( Oh well
-
Thats awesome thanks Ben, do you want anything for it. I have many bits and so on or can do store credit.
Nah, you can have it. Gotta have something good come today if the GK isn't showing up. :D
In other news, I'm out tonight. Rest and anti-biotics are the order. Still good to know regardless in the grim future there will still be war, and that grim future is tonight!
-
ben lets game saterday
-
I'm not quite sure who or what this Thursday night will bring, but it is the final Thursday before the doubles tournament this Saturday. Likely for most players, this will be the last opportunity to get in some practice. And if not enough people show up, I hear the singles games are acceptable. :D
Come to think of it, I don't even know what happened last Thursday, since I pulled in a(nother) sick day.
-
bring
daemons and maybe necrons
or i might wanna have guard a go
-
A small crowd tonight, but sometimes that when the most fun is had.
First attempt at a doubles practice game was Daemons & Necrons vs Tyranids & Space Marines. WesCron phased out in real life, so we started a second game, with Space Wolves replacing the Necrons.
We played the Doubles scenario in which each team picks a single opponent's army to count for kill points. The Tyranids threw everything they had to stem the Daemons, while the Space Wolves and Space Marines (both kill point armies) commenced epic close combat slap fighting. The Tyranids fell just after Fateweaver's arrival.
The last unit on the board for the Space Marines was a Chapter Master, his sword pointed toward the oncoming horde of Daemons. In Turn 6, he lived through Breath of Chaos, Boon of Mutation, Daemonic Gaze, Soul Grinder's Harvester and 4 assaulting Bloodcrushers. He finally succumbed to Fateweaver in assault, on the last possible die roll. That dude took a huge Warhammer beating, and in death there was rejoicing because he was epic in life.
Looking forward to the tournament Saturday. Big Sam and I, Team Orbital Bombardment, is a well-oiled machine!
-
Seems like it's been awhile since we've had a Thursday 40k of playing just to play. The people I've talked to all seem to be in the same mood with tournament fatigue, and willing to try new and random stuff just because! Should be fun tonight.
-
We won't be having another 40k tournament until July at the earliest, so definitely chill out and have some fun screwing around.
-
won't be there got a job but its 2nd shift.
-
won't be there got a job but its 2nd shift.
Between you and Jason, this job thing is whack.
-
I get out at 11 I'll be there at 11 15 if you guys are still there
-
Two tables running tonight.
Ben's Lucky 7 Nurgle Daemon List was burned horribly by Witch Hunter Immo-spam. I played to see how much damage could be done. Answer: not enough not fast enough.
Doubles fever isn't dead yet, as the other table ran Tau & Eldar vs Necron & Tyranids. I believe Tau & Eldar took this match, as I recall seeing Monoliths on their side.
Thursday 40k, where we don't need no stinkin' Marines here.
-
From the people I've talked with, there should be another good-sized crowd tonight. Hoping to get 3-4 tables running though the doubles format seems to be worth people's time, learning faster with less pressure. Either way, let there be dice!
-
Bah Silly Daemons with your Fear of Space Marines. Ben sorry If you bring those Land Raider's tonight not sure if I am going to make it more trouble at work might show up later but who knows at this rate.
Patrick
-
Blood Angels vs Tau. Blood Angels went first. That was pretty much that game, from what I'm told.
Daemons vs Eldar. Very fast 1250 game with objectives, Eldar won 1-0.
Daemons vs Necrons, 1250 again, Annihilation. Necrons tabled Daemons.
My poor Daemons. Fateweaver had never flown off the board for me, but did so twice tonight on the first wound taken. Just one of those nights. So, I'm going to try again next week.
There was also a Fantasy game of Lizardmen vs Skaven.
-
Bah Silly Daemons with your Fear of Space Marines. Ben sorry If you bring those Land Raider's tonight not sure if I am going to make it more trouble at work might show up later but who knows at this rate.
Was I supposed to bring those Land Raiders? Because I didn't. :P
-
ben vassal i want to play so i can find out if i want to start a new 40k army
-
Vassal is 40k without the fun, every time I have played it my opponent takes 9 <insert heavy support unit here>
-
How do you take 9 heavy support choices?..
-
How do you take 9 heavy support choices?..
IG tanks or arty
-
How do you take 9 heavy support choices?..
Sqauds of three broadsides? Nine sniper teams? 9 collousi
-
Yeah but those are all technically 3 heavy support choices.
-
Yeah but those are all technically 3 heavy support choices.
I don't think the technicalities matter much when you're staring them down, but there is also apoc.
-
I guess, but since it's vassal can't you just pick 3 heavy support slots too?
-
Thursday 40k, be there! I know there are four players showing up, including myself. The more, the merrier.
-
GOD DAMN IT IM TRYING BUT PEOPLE CAN'T KEEP THEIR JOBS AT MY WORK.
>.> But ya should make it this week.
-
Last night, three tables running, and oddly every one of them ran Spearhead by chance.
Daemons vs Space Marines, neck-and-neck Annihilation
Orks vs Seraphim-as-Blood-Angels (or is that Blood Angels as Seraphim?)
Tau vs Space Marines, with our regular Tau player going strong into an extended new-baby break
There was also a Kill Teams game between Dark Eldar and Necrons.
It seems a small crowd may be gathering Saturday as well. I can't wait for the summer break and the influx of players it'll bring!
-
Hey anyone happen to find a 40k Rule book not the mini one but a large one on Thursday I seem to have misplaced mine wondering if I left it at the store.
-
I was at the store all day today, didn't see one behind the counter. Call tomorrow to check.
-
Someone did turn in a hardcover to me on Friday. It should be behind the counter (way over to the right, near the case with the shirts in it).
I was wonder who it belonged to. Not many of the dudes in Plainville have the hardcover book.
-
Ya that ones Mine I dont have a Copy of the Mini one yet. Ill pick it up probably either Tuesday or Thursday thanks a Lot.
-
The usual 40k crowd on a usual Thursday night... Oh, I can feel the odds breaking and something special happening tonight in Plainville!
-
Bloody jinx Ben read your post before leaving work have to stay late :(
-
Necrons vs Daemons, Capture & Control & Draw
Blood Angels vs Tyranids
A bunch of people showed up around 9 just to hang out and shoot the breeze, which was different and nice.
I may play shorter games on Thursdays, because I need to start taking time to put more models together for the Megabattle. But I'll still be there!
-
Popping in Friday around 6 to 7 ish will have my stuff if someone wants a game
-
oh for the love of the Holy Emperor. Went and picked up my Land Raider Friday and forgot to grab my rulebook >.<.
-
So last week when I thought something special was going to happen at Thursday 40k, turns out I was misdirected. One of our regulars had a baby, but not at the store.
We're on for this week, but I have no idea who's showing up except Pat and myself.
-
My brother and I are showing up tonight hoping to secure an Epic 1850 2v2. So hopefully a good turnout ;D
-
Daemons vs Necrons vs Space Marines in a push-things-around match. I went in really wanting to play two Bloodthirsters and each one exploded a monolith, so yay!
Tyranids vs Space Marines, still going strong when I left, though I saw a Trygon take a wound from an exploding Dreadnought.
-
Anyone want to play me this thursday? I am a fairly new player (as many of you here on the forums may know) and I am desperate to try out my shiny new Blood Angels army. It is about 1000-1500 points.
-
I don't think I can play against your Blood Angels because I have a match lined up against another Blood Angels player, a different person than our regular Blood Angels player.
Odds are, you'll find a match. We had 5 people last week, and I think this week we're up around 8 players including you.
-
Ok, cool.
-
Ill be there this Thursday as usual.
-
going to try and be there as usual with a Librarian in tow :O. FEAR THE LIBRARIAN FOR HE SHOOTS YOU WITH HIS MIND :O.
-
People were almost fighting for table space tonight, completely insane. For 40k, there was...
Dark Eldar vs Iron Hands
Space Marines vs Space Wolves
Orks vs Space Marines
Daemons vs Witch Hunters, 7-turn Annihilation, in which the Witch Hunters had to table to win and were just two Plaguebearers shy!
There were two Fantasy games and a couple Warmachine games. There was an extended time during which every table was jammin'. Seems if you're not there by 6:30, you'll be left with scraps.
-
Awesome. Ben, I can't thank you enough!

Don't forget Necrons vs BloodAngels

Don't forget Necrons vs BloodAngels
Really, I didn't even know that happened. Which table did you play on? Did you play Rumplestilskin?
To be fair (to myself), I was very focused staring down Immo-spam. Any mission type other than Kill Points and I would have been laughed off the board.
-
Yes I played Rumplestilskin ( Henry ), a brutal victory in my favour, Mephiston never showed up for the fight...
-

Yes, a brutal LOSS on my part...of course I was an oblivious noob as usual. I did learn a few new things though, and I am a bit LESS rusty on the mechanics of the game.
-
The more you play, the easier it is to learn. After the Megabattle, I'll likely to take a (tiny) break playing, and I can offer watching a game of yours, issuing advice or recommendations when asked. A second set of eyes during a game makes learning so much easier. Knowing where to start improvements is half the battle.

Just laid down a 3rd color on my Fiends (OMG Megabattle spoilerz) and remembered tomorrow/today is Thursday and that can only mean one thing! Getting to Plainville early to harass Sam behind the counter.
After that, 40k!
Not going to let our official "unofficial" status affect anything at all. Except maybe people could dress a bit nicer around our celebrity endorsement.

hey going to be here thursday running a new setup trying out a new vindicator and librarian this week Ben if your up for trying against null zone.
-
Daemons vs Space Wolves
Space Marines vs Blood Angels
Space Marines vs Necrons
Tyranids vs... something something power armor (Chris, what does your brother run?)
Another solid Thursday night. *sunglasses* YEEEEEAAAAHHH!!!
-
daemons hackz
-
he was running vanilla space marines ultramarines based believe
-
Last game was Tyranids vs Space Marines. A lot of good marines got eaten that night.
-
daemons hackz
daemonz in ur backfield accidentally stealin' ur small template
-
I believe Fateweaver will be flying tomorrow night in demonstration, and that's always good for laughs. I think we're in for a calm evening before the Megabattle storm.
-
The real question is will kairos run away? (again)
-
Looked around the store tonight and at one point just felt happy. Lots of activity!
Early on, my Daemons were escorted off the board by Tyranids. Doom of Malwoc is, um, pretty freakin' awesome.
Later...
Daemons vs Space Marines, take that Null Zone!
Tyranids vs Space Marines
Necrons vs Skaven Guard (unbelievably awesome army!)
Blood Angels vs Space Wolves
... something on a fifth table that may or may not have been Warmachine related.
Should have been painting for the Megabattle, but that's what tomorrow is for! :D
-
Bah Fate Weaver just hid himself like a Little Baby for the whole game. New Ideas tossed around learned new things good game though.
-
Bah Fate Weaver just hid himself like a Little Baby for the whole game.
Well, it made for a great narrative for Fateweaver to arrive casually late Turn 4, "Oh, the Null Zone Librarian is already dead? Then my job here is done!" And he wasn't hiding the whole time! There were *two* whole turns where he was mixing it up like a blender.
Well, back to painting. My Greater Daemon of Tzeentch will be painted yellow like a giant chicken. Maybe that should be Fateweaver color too, eh Pat?
-
I love playing one objective apiece games, Its almost impossible for me to lose :D ( unless its spacewolves or bloodangels or nids)
-
After a successful Megabattle event and something like 9 hours of huge 40k, I'm taking a break from playing this week.
But I'm not taking a break from Thursday 40k! I will show up, mill about, offer tactical suggestion when not asked, pick up models and put them down in the wrong spot, make loud grunts for no discernible reason and in general strive to be "that guy."
It'll be nice just to step back for a moment and watch some games, study weaknesses, crush my foes, see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women. I take this game seriously, bro.

Just got word that new terrain tables have hit Plainville, just in time for Thursday 40k!
(http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/9602/caruso40k2.png)
-
Yeah, there's one brand new one, one basically new one, and a re-touched city table.
Abington keep a lot of the really sweet stuff, but they needed it.
I got the tables I wanted most though. :)
-
Any chance the new tables will mean Abington will run events?
-
Silence!

Made me feel queasy... kind of a pain with objectives and no metal bawkses to hide in.

Ben: You may have beaten me this week in Commando, but I will be black for blood, I might even bring my ps2 so some elevator action 2 or Darius Gaiden and/or soul calibur III can go down.
Speaking of to do that would I need to pay the 5$ an hour?
-
Yes, you would need to pay me $5 an hour.
Scant games tonight. Deathwing fell to Daemons and later Necrons (the latter game having some very close moments).
Next week, I'm back in. For 2000.
-
YOU FELL 2 WUSS OK!
-
Yes, I would need to pay you $5 an hour.
Sweet, Sounds good.
-
Little short of cash these days, Wes. I just may have to retire undefeated.
-
So who is coming tommorrow with 2000 points for utter epic fighting awesomeness like the Stanley Cup finals.
-
Yeah, get your 2k practice in. We are looking for ways to allow everyone that has signed up for the singles tourn in July a chance to play.
-
My next month-plus is all tournament practice.
Behold Thursday 40k 2k ye mighty and despair!
No, you don't need 2000 points to play on Thursdays. You only need 2000 if you want to play me, and I'll have the NOVA packet printed out as well. It's time to take fun seriously.
-
What all this time you didn't take it seriously Ben tommorrow your in for a smack down :O. Right in the parking lot lets go.
-
Ben, once your done being bannanacron'd or some other way of getting destroyed, I'm brining all my stuff so we can settle all this trash talk one and for all
-
Tell me you miss my Railguns.
-
Today was fun got some more practice with my nids, tabled another player ;D i'm realy starting to like this list!
-
I still had stuff on the table just not much. In other news got to make sure tyranids dont crawl up my ass in the future.
-
Tell me you miss my Railguns.
I played against Tau railguns tonight! One Bloodcrusher squad held more than their own, long enough for reinforcements to come smashing through. Once the flank was broken, Fiends ran amok and the Bloodcrushers mopped up what was left behind. All those games of Tau beating on Chaos Marines and the Marines crying, "Just wait till our big brothers get here!" :P
1500 points of Daemons vs 10 Immolators full of ladies. Goodness, that's too much flaming armor to deal with.
What other games...
Skaven guard vs Witch Hunters
Necrons vs Daemons, twice
Space Marines vs Tyranids
Another solid Thursday.
-
Damn invulns! >< I swear they will be the death of me. All the AP 1 in the world cant help me D:
-
Yes Daemons have fun with that they sit there and take the shots like a boss. Other news 6/18/11 being free RPG day will try to stop by the store bringing a new list to try out 2k points still anyone interested in playing I will be around ready to try and not die as horribly as I did to the Tyranids.
-
Table space for minis games will be available but very, very cramped this Saturday due to a (hopefully) decent sized Magic event + Free RPG Day.
Just a heads up.
-
Thursday 40k, coming at you again. Seems like we had one of these only last week.
I'm looking for a 2000 point tournament practice game. Don't care which of the three scenarios.
-
im coming this week and im bringing my necrons
-
im coming this week and im bringing my necrons
what? two Necron players within a 5 mile radius of eachother? This is madness
-
I have no life so I sat and read all 13 pages of this thread...I don't care if I'm almost an hour away, I definitely need to bring my spacepups to Thursday night 40k down at Plainville sometime :P Too bad nothing like this is down at the Abington location, although we do basically have this on Saturdays.
-
Ill sadly be a bit late tomorrow as my birthday is apparently being celebrated between karate and coming here....

You *should* come out this way! I'm very sure you'd enjoy it. It's like the Doubles match we had, except (even) less serious. If you want to get home at a reasonable time, there's rarely an issue setting up an earlier game. Just sayin'. :D
-
Ill sadly be a bit late tomorrow as my birthday is apparently being celebrated between karate and coming here....
Wes, I had no idea!
Happy Karate Day!
-
Heh, I'll try for a Thursday in the upcoming weeks. A match even less serious than our doubles match is me any other day xD. I'll post here the week I'll be there. Mr. Boulanger, I do believe my wolves are interested in destroying your Daemons, prepare them for war in the upcoming weeks.
-
I will unfortunately not be able to come due to unexpected giant hail.
-
Toss up in the air for me work fired someone someone taking the weekend off I might have to stay late at work depending when I get out Ill try and come by.
-
Unbelievable night, there were six players tonight new to Thursday 40k! Always happy to see new faces, but just amazing.
I saw today...
Tau vs Grey Knights
Tau & Grey Knights vs Orks & Necrons
Witch Hunters vs Imperial Guard
Imperial Guard vs Blood Angels
Blood Angels vs Necrons
Necrons vs Chaos Daemons
Only the Tau and Grey Knights were the same players, so we had a dozen strong and five tables rolling dice for control of the galaxy.
I don't know if we've got a good thing going, but for tonight it went great. Yay, we're playing!
-
Great news, Ben. :)
-
Almost forgot the strangest part of the evening, 4 Necron armies in the house.
"What what in the what now??"
-
I think I will be bringing my Dark Angels down on Thursday. I came by on Saturday to check the store out, and played a game with a friend, but I'd love to hook up with one of the regulars.
What point level do you guys usually play? I've been prepping for the NOVA Open, so 2000 points has been my standard fare lately, but I'm open to anything.
-
I'm pretty sure the focus will be at 2000 points for most of the summer. A bunch of the guys are preparing for both of our tournaments and/or NOVA, all of which are at least in part 2000 points.
-
Yeah, this summer will likely see lots of 2000 lists, for the Singles tournament in July and a portion of the Team Trio event in August. Last week, there were three practice matches and three casual games.
I'll be bringing my tournament list. Whoever else will show up is a mystery solved usually around 6:30 PM.
-
I saw u playing on saturday playing vs dark eldar. I am preparing for NOVA as well so would love a game. I have a hard time making it Thursdays though as I am about 45 min away. Send me a PM maybe we can get a game on a weekend.
-
All tables full up, some tables had multiple games. I'm serious, it's getting to the point where more tables are going to have to be set up as a regular thing on Thursdays. Which is pretty awesome! More new people showing up to check things out as well, great stuff.
There were so many matches, I can't even hope to recall all of them.
Witch Hunters vs Dark Eldar
IG vs Space Marines
Daemons vs Blood Angels
Tau vs Orks
Tau vs Space Marines
Tyrands vs Dark Angels
That's some great variety, just pleased as punch.
-
So I have thurdsday this week off. Really tempted to make the drive down and see what the plainville store has for 40K players. Anyone up to fight some space wolves?
-

Take me with you Murph!!
-
If the guarantee of a match is what it'll take for you or anyone else to come down, then you've got yourself a match. I'll always fight Space Wolves, or anyone for that matter. I'm playing for fun mostly. If you want a competitive challenge, I'm sure we can find that for you too.
-
Hey all!....and Chase....I can stop by on Thursdays to play 40K....I was taught by an excellent player so I know what I'm doing now. I've been playing Fantasy a lot on Tuesdays and miss the shooting phases of 40K! I can field Blood Wolves (Blood Angels), Salamanders, Crimson Fists or Imperial Guard, all 2,000+ pts. My name is Shaun. Drop me a line or post here if you need another player.
-
It's not a matter of needing another player, but rather if you want to play! Completely open door, just show up and don't be shy. If you prefer to schedule matches, this thread is your best bet. If you want a match against an unfamiliar army for practice or are looking for something a bit more competitive, either can be had in good fun.
We do not see enough IG for as much as they're played competitively, and Thursday 40k has yet to see Salamanders or Crimson Fists.
-
Then count me in. I will be there this thursday. I have no problems playing any army, and I do enjoy fun matches. I can also help newer players by playing slowly and explaining the rules as we play them. Look forward to meeting everyone!
-
Nice! The more, the merrier. Players usually show up around 6:30-7:00. If there's a crowd and you're not sure to whom to introduce yourself, Matt working behind the counter is the best place to start.
-
I think I've talked to you before....Do you play Daemons? I think I might have talked to you once.
-
Yes, I play Daemons, so I suppose there's a chance we've chatted before. I was the guy with dashing good looks, witty charm, ladies on the arms, standing atop a large pile of money. At least that's how I'd remember it.
-

-
Awesome.....Is there a requested army that I should play? I also have a Thousand Sons heavy, Daemon Prince led Chaos Space Marine force.
-
Sounds like you've got quite the collection! You can bring one army, you can bring them all, whatever you happen to feel like playing.
I personally think you should bring whichever army is going to stomp on Wes' Necrons the hardest, but that's just me.
-
Then Ill roll a die for it, but I'm partial to Guard and Blood Wolves. I dig my Leman Russ' 27 shots at BS4...What does everyone play? You mentioned a lack of Guard and no Salamanders/Crimson Fists? lol I take it there's Necrons and Daemons. Ok...its Guard. I hope to have my second Vendetta ready by then....cheers!
-
I love seeing all this happen. We're growing quite the 40k community. :)

What is the point value for tommorrow? I do have a 2k point list of Guard ready
-
2000 points is very good. The Battleground 40k tournament on July 23rd is 2000 points, and most of us are trying to get in practice matches using the tournament scenarios.
-
Indeed. I will probably play either Guard or Blood Wolves if I get in the tourney. I really like Guard....Guns Guns Guns......Guns Guns Guns.....
-
Indeed. I will probably play either Guard or Blood Wolves if I get in the tourney.
If you're not in the tournament by now and you're not set up as an alternate, you do not stand a good chance of getting in this one. 29 hours after announcement, it was full up, and then expanded to meet demand already there. Hot ticket doesn't begin to describe it.
If you want to make some friends though, the Team Trio event in August looks like fun and there are still people who need partners.

I hear there's this 40k gathering at Plainville tonight, could be fun!

I heard that guy who Plays Space Marines won't be there because Ben Called and forced him to work tonight :(.

A very solid night and our third week in a row with all six tables up and running!
Daemons vs Witch Hunters
Blood Angels vs Imperial Guard
Space Marines vs Tyranids
Dark Angels vs Tyranids
Dark Eldar vs Imperial Guard
Necron vs Necron, theme battle of the night with Nightbringer vs The Deceiver
I got a bit distracted by new Magic cards, but I did get to run my Chopstar (Skulltaker, Herald and 4 Juggernauts).
The Facilitator is being added to the list of my Thursday 40k unofficial titles, in addition to the Closer and the Favored Son of Chaos.
-
I was just reading a blog entry (http://thebrownpaintbrush.blogspot.com/2011/07/stepping-up-your-play-testing.html) declaring the play-testing value of players switching armies. I think the idea has fantastic merit, and I'd totally be willing to try it one of these Thursdays.
Thoughts?
-
Its an Awesome Idea to save some money and test out units/armies before putting the money into playing them at all I myself would be willing to try it after the tourney.
-
or you could play a painful 6 to 8 hour game of vassel with me
-
Im not sure If I could past losing the 3+/4+ (4+) save, everything else seems so soft and squishy
-
Help keep the streak alive! Let's get all six tables full up on gaming goodness for the fourth week in a row.
-
Hey Me and my woman are comming down tonight around seven im looking to get a 2 v 2 goin if anyone is interested.
-
so, first time at store, and man, this place is pretty awesome. Cool, people cool gaming space, good combo. Im hopefully going to be in next thursday as well.
-
Hi I'm Tim, new to the Battleground community. I got to stop by the shop for a bit this Thursday and it was nice to meet some people. I plan on coming by more often if my work/tutoring schedules allow.
I played a bit a few years ago but now I'm back into the hobby and I'm looking for practice games mostly. Currently I can field upwards of 2K but I still need to order/assemble some models.
-
Hey guys,
It was nice to meet the both of you. Anyone and everyone is always welcome!
I started my game a bit earlier last night, so my awareness was a bit fuzzy. We saw...
Daemons vs Blood Angels "Descent of Angels" (Wait, why again did we roll Deployment? ::))
Blood Angels vs Imperial Guard
Grey Knights vs Tyranids
Space Marines vs Imperial Guard
... thought there was a 5th match? The one downside to starting before everyone else. :|
Solid turnout for the evening!
Next Thursday is the last Thursday 40k before the Singles Tournament on the 23rd. 2000 points, using NOVA missions, which are straight-forward, easy to understand.
-
There was also a nurgle chaos space marines army against a space wolf army with thunder pig cavalry (both of which were exceptionally well painted)
-
Yes, thanks! Those armies were really well painted. Hard to say Nurgle looked nice, but it looked very, um, Nurgly.
-
YES! SPACEWOLVES!~!!! RAWR!!! Who there played spacewolves?
-
i dont know his name, but his thunder wolves were orc boars
-
Brother Bought a Camera so guess whos getting his Camera stolen for Thursday 40k BATTLE REPORTS :O. Anyone actually interested in maybe trying to put together some Awesome Thursday 40k Video Battle Reports for funsies :O?
-
Pat, steal his camera right after you send me your Singles list for this weekend. ;)
-
I'm conflicted on the idea of a camera being present on Thursdays. Battle reports can help some players learn, but I'm concerned about those players who don't want failed experiments and mistakes to be part of any record. This seems like it needs more of a long conversation and less of a casual conversation.
-
Ben! Failures! You must mean like when I couldn't pen a Soul Grinder.....like 4 times with a Lascannon....like that kind of failure?????
-
Well when I meant Battle Reports I meant more along the lines of both people knew ahead of time that said Battle Report was going to happen instead of me just randomly taping people. Legally I can only tape if I got Persmission of the store since its a private place of business and the people would have to willingly know they were being taped and as such I would have asked permission ahead of time.
As for bad matches people dont want published or recorded I would delete the video right there for them and not keep a record.
I'm not looking for a decision right this moment and stuff and I would be more than willing on Thursday to talk with people interested about the idea and see what people think about it in more detail.
P.S. I sent the Army list Chase now off to Steal that camera :p
-
Ben! Failures! You must mean like when I couldn't pen a Soul Grinder.....like 4 times with a Lascannon....like that kind of failure?????
No, no, failure on a much bigger scale. Like Fateweaver flying off the table twice in one night after Matt cursed him with his touch. So glad everyone has forgotten about that. :D
As for the camera, the store's blessing is good enough for me. I just want to make sure it doesn't take anything away from what is good now.
-
Like Fateweaver flying off the table twice in one night after Matt cursed him with his touch.
I swear it wasn't me.

I know every one is gearing up for the singles tournament, but i was wondering if i could tempt anyone into a 2500 point game? ill be there at around 6 and if anyone is interested it would be great to meet some more people.

Which army would you play?
2500 is a tall order for most of the newer players, still buying their first models and tweaking lists. If you can't find a 2500 game after the tournament, I can make that happen.
-
I play good old tyranids, and yeah, im not surprised, 2500 points is pretty big. Im going to come in thursday any way with a 2000 point list, so if i cant get in a 2500 pointer, at least i can probably give someone a practice game and meet some new faces.

Mostly irrelevant but: ADVENTURE TIME!

You should stand back here with me, where it is safe. *slowly walks away*

wow i have no idea whats going on also.

I figured I should get a friendlier avatar, so I chose Jake from Adventure Time (with Finn & Jake). Show's great. You can watch it with kids while watching references and jokes fly way over their heads.
I remember when the Thursday 40k thread was about 40k. Seems like just yesterday...
Oh, I want a last practice game this Thursday before the tournament. 2000 points, who's up for the thrashing of a lifetime in a fun and educational setting?
-
will you play magic after son
-
I will take you on Ben I got my list all set and I learned some new tricks since last week :P. It will be fun an interesting to see how they work out.

Maybe. I may need your help with some(fun)thing else though.

ok I'm gonna bring that skulltaker 4 you 2

Behind the counter? Sam until 6, then Matt until close.
-
If it matters, Derek and I will be there tomorrow from whenever we get there until out work is done.
We've got a store to transform into 40k world for the weekend.
-
okay, so ed, i will be there at 6 tomorrow, see you there
-
If it feels like Christmas in July, it's because today is Thursday! Two gladitorial matches of fake space mans have been set already. More will come! Are you not entertained??
-
Ill be there for some practice tonight.
-
Large Turnout Tonight with new and old alike. Kinda Cramped already with the Setup for Saturday which looks to be awesome.
Games we had tonight.
Orkz vs Imperial Guard
Blood Angels vs Tyranids
Eldar vs Space Wolves
Daemons vs Space Marine
Tyranids vs ????? Remember seeing 2 tables with Tyranids on it but not what the other army was.
Best of luck to those who are participating on Saturday.
-
I think Ed played against the second Tyrands army, with Space Marines.
Also, Necrons vs Witch Hunters. Fluff battle of the night.
Busy busy busy night.
-
Thanks to Benjamin for explaining everything and all the plyers last night for answering questions last night.
now i just have to figure out how to assemble and paint all these Grey Knights... lol
-
step 1 super glue
step 2 ? ? ? ?
step 3 PROFIT
-
Ed please be acurate in this
Step 1 - Clip Pieces from sprue
Step 2 - Clean pieces with xacto knife
Step 3 - File peices to remove flash excess etc..
Step 4 - Plan out the piece placement etc.
Step 5 - Superglue pieces together
Step 6 - Take a break watch some TV
Step 7 - Prime the piece with primer
Step 8-25 - Paint piece
Step 26 - Base the piece with basing materials
Step 27 - Spray the piece with Matte Varnish
Step 28 - Your finally ready to game with said piece.
-
Who the hell is Matt Varnish?
-
what if you don't own a tv like me?
-
Then your screwed...
-
Who the hell is Matt Varnish?
I just realized I don't know the last name of Matt who works behind the counter, and I don't know who else it could be. Looks like Matty Ice could have a new fake name.
Jason, you're welcome, my pleasure. The store is overdue on its monthly Painting Social night, which is a fantastic time to see not only talk shop, but to actually meet other painters and players. And of course there's Thursday nights. There's an excellent community here for answering any questions. Oh, and don't use too much super glue when gluing! :)
-
Thanks for the glue tip Ben,
Anybody recommend a good primer? seems to be massively conflicting opinions on all the online research I've done lol
-
Thanks for the glue tip Ben,

A great one is krylon. You can get it at Walmart for like 3 dollars. Make sure to get it in a matte finish, which means it's just flat, not shiny or sparkly or anything. If you're army is mostly dark colors use black, if it's mostly light colors use white.
-
Or as a more expensive option you can get color primers from Army Painter at BATTLEGROUNDS... These I find are some of the best primers and they come in multiple colors to make painting base coats VERY EASY.
-
For plastic models and flat black, Home Depot has some spray that'll do the job nicely at 99 cents a can. It doesn't take to metal quite as well, but it still works in a pinch.
-
Thanks for the glue tip Ben,

best one is gw white if you want white for best clean finish unless you use a airbrush which can be amazingly even.
all other color get the rust brand cant remeber the full name with a resistor cap they are like .75 for the cap and 5$ a can.
this is just my take.

yes they have good colors but there are flop ones like i would not use the green one.
-
No post-tournament hangover will be tolerated. *cracks whip* Get back to slaving at the table mines of Thursday 40k!
-
Hey Ben...
Since you are the guru of getting people together, I wanted to run an idea by you: I am a huge fan of warbands in fantasy, so I was wondering what the response would be for a similar idea in 40K...like kill teams? 500pts maybe?
1. Still follow the FoC: 2 Troops and 1 HQ must haves
2. Special Characters are allowed (though they chew up points)
3. Limited to 1 Vehicle (Tank) or 1 Vehicle (Walker) (no chimera spam)
I think it would be fun and a bit more realistic. I know I would enjoy a couple Vet Squads, a Lord Commissar, and a Leman Russ on my side of the table!!!!
I also think it would help to get tables open faster as well...
Maybe even a 2vs2? Each player brings 500pts....1k each side? HMM HMM HMM????
-
WE SHALL NOT FEAR YOUR CHAOS TYRANNY BEN. WE SHALL NO LONGER SLAVE AT THE TABLES WITH DAWN OF WAR DEPLOYMENT FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT. WE WILL NO LONGER BE SLAUGHTERED BY CHOP STAR OR SCARBRAND. THE EMPEROR IS WITH US AND WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS!!!!!
-
I'm glad you brought up the 2v2 games. They don't happen as much as they used to, but some of the best matches I play on Thursdays are those impromptu multiplayer matches. With the influx of new people over the past month, it's certainly a more efficient way for the newer crowd to meet everyone else, while also giving players the chance to see and learn more in an evening. I'll be encouraging that.
The Trios tournament is coming up August 6, and I expect some players looking for 2v2 practice.
In that format each team of two each brings:
1,000 Point Army List (1 HQ, 1-3 Troop, 0-1 Elite, 0-1 Fast Attack, 0-1 Heavy Support)
1000 is pretty easy for most armies to write up on the fly.
An informal tradition of 1750-2000 games started with the original crew. We were playing both to have fun and to practice for the tournament scene. As we extended an open invitation for others to join us, that just became the bar for others in terms of what to expect.
The store did try to run regular Kill Team games on Saturdays, with squads of 200 points and each model acting independently (but not as Independent Characters). It went okay a couple weeks, then faded to complete nothingness. I do recall the list of necessary restrictions was absurdly long.
So in other words, you're the first person who's asked about games as small as 500. :) If others are interested, they should definitely speak up!
As for tables being open, it hasn't been a serious concern to date. As full as some Thursdays get, more tables can be set up if need be. But if all those extra tables fill up...

I dont know who is active on these forums, but if simon leen is, I was wondering if you were going to be around this thursday for another whack at a 2500 point game, except where i don't flake on you ;D
-
bring your pirates if you want a wm game after
-

I'm having dinner with Simon tonight, I can let him know.
-
thanks, and ed, ill do that!
-
Bill, would you mind brining your box of guard bits this Thursday, Im interested in buying/taking/trading some guns,banners,heads bodies etc. etc. to make a Necron Guard (Or guard Necron army)
-

I'm not sure if that Bill reads the forums. Maybe he lurks... I'll talk to Simon, again. He's popular these days.

This thread needs motivation.

This thread needs motivation.
1) This is already the most motivated thread on the board. (Yay!)
2) Since Saturday, proper props must be given. That should rightly read:
BLACK TEMPLAR
Oh SHI-
For all those who wanted me to contact Simon, I have contacted him and he has received your messages. Simon's personal secretary, now signing off. :P
-
Ben! I need your help. Do you have 2 extra Seekers of Slaanesh that you don't need? If so, what could I do to possibly take possession of them? Do you need anything trade wise? Barring that, do you have any Slaaneshi bits?
-
Ben! I need your help. Do you have 2 extra Seekers of Slaanesh that you don't need? If so, what could I do to possibly take possession of them? Do you need anything trade wise? Barring that, do you have any Slaaneshi bits?
When I run Seekers, I run them in a squad of 20, so I need every model I have. But I do have a fair bit of leftover Slaanesh bits and Daemonettes. I'll bring what I have Thursday.
Initial asking price: one million dollars.
-
That'll be great. Thanks! I have two spare horses I can use. Is there anything you need Fantasy, Space Marines, or Guard wise? I'm pretty low on $ right now.
-

If you happen to have a lead on any Tau Fire Warrior shoulder pads, that would help me out a bunch. Otherwise, nothing I need at the moment.
If you've got Guard stuff, Wes is entertaining a Necron Guard army and he may be interested to see what you have.
-
Nope nothing tau except some gun drone bits and battlesuit weapons. I can bring the Guard bits. Does he need just infantry bits of vehicles too?
-

I believe he's in the exploratory stages. His one model mock-up was awesome though, so I'm encouraging him to see how far he can go.
-
so I'm encouraging him to see how far he can go.
I must say reading that is rather odd from my point of view.
-

Is this because you don't see me as nurturing? I nurture. Sometimes.
-
So what is the gaming looking like for tommorrow?
-
Im touch and go for a smaller game the tournament kinda burnt me out with the big listed games and work has thrown my schedule for a loop and a half.
-
I rarely know who's coming in advance.
It seems like there's a pandemic of post-tournament fatigue, so I think it'll be good to arrange some low-point multiplayer games, if people are up for that. It's good promo for the Trio tournament, at the very least.
If Simon is able to play Emory, I'm free. If Simon can't make it, I'm taking his place.
-
ben want to meet early and play magic im working on fun deck for muti player.
-
I'm up for post-40k Magic, but before I need to paint Orks. I'll see how early I can get there, because I'll need to take a painting break and maybe we can get a game in then.
-
like 5 ish?
-
can't make it saving money
-
Thanks for the great game ben, tell fateweaver hes a troll, and give those nurlgings a treat and a pat on the head, they kicked all sorts of ass!
PS, make sure Kristen (spelling?) is there for the real ard boyz to explain to the judges that you win no matter what because of your silky soft hair
-
I'm making a note here, huge success. Tonight we had 8 tables running at once! Eight!
Orks vs Space Marines
Tau vs Tyranids
IG vs Chaos Marines
IG vs Dark Angels
Space Marines vs Tau
Grey Knights vs Dark Eldar
Space Marines vs Necrons
Eldar vs Orks
Blood Angels vs Tyranids
Chaos Daemons vs Tyranids
I'd love to know how these games turned out. So much for the push for doubles. :P
Emory, it takes two to have fun, so thank you as well. Helped me figure out what I want NOT want to do with my Ard Boyz list. Nurglings rule, Trygons drool!
-
Space Marine Captain on a Motorcycle with epic Relic Shank vs Necron Lord with a Shiny Ball.... Space Marine Win :P
-
Tau won versus tyranids, but not before the doom of malantai was able to kill almost 3 units due to my awful, awful leadership :(. The tau vs space marines game never finished.. but my seeker missle trick was finally able to be implemented today :D My reward was a dead Vindicator.
-
Space Marine Captain on a Motorcycle with epic Relic Shank vs Necron Lord with a Shiny Ball.... Space Marine Win :P
As I recall Necron Lord went poof and reappeared a few feet away with his two rebuilt comrades. Then they decided to run away before they get phased out.
-
Ben, thanks for setting up a game with me and (i don't know his name). It was awesome! I got whipped but, that was on account of the shittiest dice roles in history. Mephiston decided it would be fun to let himself almost die (down to one wound), and then wipe the deck with Tyranid guts. I don't even want to talk about what happened to my other units... Besides me getting buried alive, I had a blast and learned a truck-load of stuff. (damn those new dice!)
-
Ben, thanks for setting up a game with me and (i don't know his name).
I didn't have time to catch his name either. It looked like you had fun. Tyranids ran me over too, we just need to channel our inner Starship Troopers.
-
Thursday 40k is kicking ass! Awesome to hear.
It seems like you guys might have been short a few of the usual suspects too, huh?
-
It seems like you guys might have been short a few of the usual suspects too, huh?
Yeah. Between work and the tournament, that accounted for at least three of our regular players. Matt was great getting the extra tables set up.
-
Matt is great period!
The BG Plainville Calendar is slowly getting a makeover. Hopefully she'll look decent when it's done.
Anyhow, Thursday 40k has been added. Check it out: http://www.battlegroundgames.com/events_storecalendar_pv.html

Gratz Ben u hit the big time. You are going to have to make another thread to remove "unofficial"

Gratz Ben u hit the big time. You are going to have to make another thread to remove "unofficial"
Thank you. :D Unofficial has a casual connotation I really like. I can't quit unofficial.
-
Official Unofficial Professionally Casual Thursday Warhammer 40k rolls right off the tongue. :P
-
I just realized, i left all my warmachine stuff at the store, its a bunch of pirates in a foam case. Has anyone seen them?
-
i bet you 100% it behide the counter
-
Emory, if you can't stop by the store, you can at least call and describe what's missing. Like Ed said, it's likely behind the counter.
-
I just realized, i left all my warmachine stuff at the store, its a bunch of pirates in a foam case. Has anyone seen them?
It's currently on the side counter because there's 93845093485340958 other peoples armies / stuff behind the counter. :)
-
I'll clean behide the counter for a soda chase
-
do any of you want to pool money for the battle missons book and leave it at the store(behide counter for thursday group) so we can play something diff
if we get like 5 people it would be really cheap
-
Thanks guys! and Ed, that seems like an interesting idea, ill have to see how much it is, but i could be down for this.
-
its Listed on Games-Workshop for 29.00$ If we get Chase to order it Ill definitely split the cost with others so we have a copy to use on Thursdays.
-
if we get 4 or 5 people doing this it will be really cheap and im going to use a 10% coupon.
-
I'll pay for part of that.
-
Ed, I think that's a great idea. I know I could chip in a few dollars, and it'll only get cheaper with more people chipping in.
Maybe we can put the book in a vault that can be opened only on Thursdays. And if someone gets locked in there, at least they won't go to the great beyond playing Dawn of War Capture and Control. That's no way to die.
-
im in
-
>.> if Ed really uses 10% on this it ends up coming out to $27.73 after Sales Tax. Divide that by 5 people thats about $5.54625 per person. Otherwise its $30.81 after Sales Tax which makes it $6.1625 per person for 5 people.
-
I'll bring it next thursday
-
Pat, could I borrow $6.1625?
-
Lucky for you I have Half a Penny I can Split with you.
-
Ben, thanks for setting up a game with me and (i don't know his name).
I didn't have time to catch his name either. It looked like you had fun. Tyranids ran me over too, we just need to channel our inner Starship Troopers.
Agreed.
-
spit me a 1/8 of a penny good sir
-
Ill try the best I can with me Knife very hard and delicate work but much easier than a Greater daemon of Tzeentch
-
I'll pitch in as well.
-
Simon leen, im calling you out! (throws down gauntlet) this thursday, a bit past 6! would you be up for getting in our much delayed game?
-
Sure thing man. See you then.
-
great! i dont think i have ever played sisters, especially not with the current nid dex, and i love the idea of giant space bugs getting their butts handed to them by gun wielding nuns with an unhealthy obsession for setting things on fire.
-
It makes my self-appointed job much easier when people set up matches in advance.
Speaking of which, I have 2500 points of Daemons ready to tear someone a new reality and no suckas yet willing to take me on.
-
Keith and I are suppose to play a game Thursday anyway. Maybe I can take the trek up, I need some ard boyz' practice. Just make sure you kick my ass quick enough so I can get home.
Stupid 45 min drive and having to wake up early >:(
I'll let ya know if I can make it or not.
-
I'll play anyone who want's to do a 1500 point game!
-
Ill probably be up for a 1500 Point Game on Thursday.
-

Henry and Pat, come to the center of the ring. I want a good, clean 1500 point match. No rabbit punches, no hitting below the belt, nothing to the back of the head. Obey my commands at all times. Do you understand the rules? Touch gloves, and let's get ready to rumble!
Admit it, you're slightly more excited now.
-
If your doing that Ben I should bring my Camera and make this the First Thursday 40k Battle Report :P.
-
If your doing that Ben I should bring my Camera and make this the First Thursday 40k Battle Report :P.
If it's fine with Henry, sure.
-
It's all good with me (camera battle report...stuff)! A good, clean, no bull 1500 match it is! See you there PATRICK...
-
Like Feral Kid's boomerang in The Road Warrior, Thursday 40k has come back in a big way!
We are coming off last week's 8-table record. Some day we will hit 10 tables, and it could be today!
-
It makes my self-appointed job much easier when people set up matches in advance.
Speaking of which, I have 2500 points of Daemons ready to tear someone a new reality and no suckas yet willing to take me on.
Hey ben I've got about 2500 points of grey knights who looooove daemons, the bad news is they're only about 1/4 primed and 1/4 assembled lol sooo maybe another 2 weeks, especially since forgeworld sent me eldar instructions for my grey knight order...
-
Oh, take your time. Make sure every model is absolutely perfect, down to the smallest detail. Take pride in a fully painted army, and make a display board while you're at it.
Those time-intensive suggestions have absolutely nothing to do with the highly unnecessary hurt the jerk GKs can put on Daemons, for like no good reason whatsoever.

Well maybe if your army was comprised of fluffy bunnies or perhaps gully dwarves instead of evil chaos daemonds the grey knights wouldn't pick on them! Lol
-
i want to come tonight really bad but i cant stand longer then 1-2 hours does anyone wanna play fast best out of 3 1000 points games i move really fast , when i play these games with my freind they last about 20-30mins
also I'm gonna drop off my 10% discount thing and a few dollars if you guy want to spit the battlemisson book still

I can attest to Ed's speed while playing.
Oh, right, forgot about splitting the book! If you show up, remind me and I'll make an announcement.
-
I'm not sure if I will be able to make it tonight Work changed my schedule around and put me on a split shift today so if im not there by like 6:30 im not coming tonight. Sorry Henry.
-

Nice. Way to break Henry's heart. Cue the 80s music.
-
Ya I know I know If I can Im trying not to work but its all up to my boss :/.
-
pat you are like the #1 worker
-
I'm not going to be able to make it this Thursday to practice for saturday, my apologies trios teammates.
-
It's ok Pat! I'm sure I'll find someone to (attempt) to own!
-
well, for all my bravado, simon kicked my butt quite unceremoniously
-
That's a damn dirty lie. There was plenty of ceremony.
-
debatable, i never once hummed the funeral hymn for my dead models. But seriously, thanks for the great game!
-
Any time. And quite possibly two Sundays from now.
-
1500 points anyone? I play Blood Angels (in case you didn't know).
-
I will be there this week Ben, bringing 2k of Guard!
-
Last Thursday 40k before Ard Boyz!
I'll certainly be posting here if I need a practice game, because I should at least play my list once before the tournament...
-
Ill take you on....
-
If you're looking to play in the FREE Ard Boyz tournament this weekend and have not signed up, please email me at ChaseLaq@gmail.com ASAP.
-
Are there any daemon players that want to play vs 2k tau on thursday? I want to see what invulns do to my new list.
-

I think it's likely we can find a practice match for you. I know Emory has been running his Tyranids at 2500 the past few weeks, and his is a solid challenge. Just let me know who you are in real life. :D
Are there any daemon players that want to play vs 2k tau on thursday? I want to see what invulns do to my new list.
If Drew shows up with his Deathwing, that would be similar. Between storm shields and thunder hammers, he'd be actually a bit better protected and hit a bit harder. He usually shows up every other week or thereabouts, so he's due. :) I think he runs around 2000, how convenient!
-
Don't forget Guard!
-
Don't forget Guard!
Ha, you won't let us! :P
I only know a handful of the Thursday 40k crew playing in Ard Boyz. If the casual players bring bigger lists just for this one week, it'll guarantee more games. Next week, things will return to their normal, aimless, casual state.
-
Korika, i will indeed be there this thursday with 2500 points of bugs, what army do you play? if you can get there close to 6, id be happy to get in one last practice game
-
We've still got a fair amount of room in Plainville's Ard Boyz tournament. If anyone from Thursday is interested in a free event with prize support and wants to play 40k this Saturday, let someone at the store know.
Help us send GW a strong number of players.

Abington's event is Saturday, and Plainville's is Sunday. I'm sure we'll get a number of drifters in, as registration isn't required. Is there a poster/sign in the store? This should be the case especially with Plainville, since most other game stores are running their Ard Boyz prelims on Saturday.
-
A Tornaument with a 99% guarantee of fighting greyknights or imperial guard? Im going to sit and wait until I get my new codex.
-
Hahaha! I can't blame you for that, Wes. :)
-
Ehh Convince me to throw together a 2500 point list that I know won't win cause I dont have all the pieces to be competitive and Ill go on Sunday Chase :P.
-
Do it if you think you'll have fun or learn. Don't do it if you don't.
I just want people to have a good time.
-
Ill have to see what I have to use for a List but Ill be interested have to talk to work see if I can get the Sunday off.
-
Got a Decent list put Together not the best Optimized wise but it will be fun and interesting to play who knows maybe these Salamanders can pull an upset out for me :P.
So probably looking for a 2500 point game on Thursday to practice with this list once before Sunday.
-
Shawn... or is that Sean? Hmm. I'll accept the challenge of 2500 points of IG, if that's still on the table. If I win, I get to spell your name however I want. If you win, I'll spell your name however I want, out of spite. I'll make an effort to get to the store a bit earlier. Any mission in particular you want to run?
-
Its Shaun. No particular mission either way for me. It seems unnatural for Daemons to hold objectives.....I see them more as a "slaughter all" kind of mission. If you want to practice for your tourney by using a mission similar to the ones they are going to run, I can do that as well.
-
Sorry Ben, I couldn't make it. I had to go into work for a few hours.
-
Hi ben
-
Sorry Ben, I couldn't make it. I had to go into work for a few hours.
No problem, Shaun, it worked out for the best. Well, best for my opponent, a friend running Blood Angels. At least Skulltaker killed Mephiston according to plan, but that was the only thing that worked for me. I can't tell you how many times I scattered 10+ inches.
Witch Hunters vs Orks is the only other game I can remember. I think it's the full moon, we were all brainmush tonight.
-
Tyranids vs Space Marines also happened.
-
Hi Ben
-
Then there was SM v. Tau, and a Tau v. Ork game earlier that day too.
-
there was also a IG v Blood angels, and a IG v IG game, and ben, who won that? it looked like the daemons were making a come back.
-
ben, who won that? it looked like the daemons were making a come back.
They did make a late push. I had to concede the left side of the table, but pushed hard with the Chopstar on the opponent's right quarter. Unfortunately, an outflanking Baal Predator made life miserable on my side's right quarter and eventually killed my Bloodletters there on Turn 5, so that was the game. We went to six, and that's when Skulltaker killed Mephiston. With another round, he would have killed Lamartes, too.
I think it was the full moon. I've never had a game where my scatter dice flipped out like they did.
-
Just got word that Simon, a Thursday 40k regular, took 1st place at an Ard Boyz event. Representin'. 8)
I would love for the Thursday regulars to post their results, because I have a feeling there will be other successes.
I'm looking forward to having ridiculous fun at Plainville's Ard Boyz tomorrow.
-
Do you know where Simon played? I though he was going to Abington and I was disappointed when he was not there =(
-
So....
Bill advanced
Simon advanced
Jeff Hobin advanced
Who else?
-
Do you know where Simon played? I though he was going to Abington and I was disappointed when he was not there =(
Cheer up! You should see him at the semi-finals.
I believe Simon said he played in Warwick (so probably Veteran's/Game On), which is closer geographically for him. All's fair in love and Warhammer.
-
I got a first and am advancing! yay, free hammer head!
-
This is all great news, especially the part where I won't have to throw together extra tables for tomorrow.
Grats winners (and me)!
-
Ben Mohile also went to Abington and is advancing
-
Would it be kosher if i went to your thing tomorrow? its mostly for the socializing aspect, and on the off chance i do place, itll just trickle down to some one else. please!
-
No because I dont need any harder players to play against :O.
-
shhh you, thunder hammer terminators are a pain
-
My Master Crafted Thunder Hammers are a Pain Thank you very Much. 200 points of a 2500 point army are a pain. PFFFT

Alright gang, tomorrow there are going to be a bunch of lame-o losers who think they can come to our store and drag their sorry selves to victory, because they couldn't get the job done today. To those players I say, "You stunk yesterday and you will stink today. Of everyone I'm going to table today, I'm going to table your loser butts last. This is our house! Here's a box of tissues, for when you cry! And remember when I said I would table you last?!... I lied. *table*"
That's my motivational speech. I think it's the best motivational speech ever written. Tomorrow, based on that speech alone, everyone should go out and win. Go team!
-
Ben I think you and Me are the only people from Thursday 40k Playing.
-
Hey, im from thursday 40k! Well, at least recently ive been a regular.
-
Ya but your not playing.
-
um, last time i checked i was...
-
Ben I think you and Me are the only people from Thursday 40k Playing.
Even if no one was playing, that doesn't diminish my speech in the slightest.
ETA: Well, there's my 500th post.
-
Well, Ard Boyz was certainly the strangest event I've been to yet. Of the Thursday 40k regulars, there was a great showing, as three took the Top 3 spots.
I finished 8th out of 14, one battlepoint shy of at least tying to get in the top half. I don't feel like that was really indicative of how I played. My Daemons massacred Grey Knights (and surprisingly, not vice versa) and I played to a draw against Wyatt's Space Wolves and even edged him out on battlepoints by 1. Wyatt finished 4th and was passed down an invitation to the semis. But that second match in which I ran into Imperial Guard, Fateweaver died far too quickly and a tabling followed, that was my day's downfall. Battle reports will follow in their own thread.
-
Hans told me some stories. The day sounded......interesting.
-
Yep! But it was great, and i had 3 great opponents, all fun games, and Simon kicked my ass... again. But I did get some good practice against grey knights, again with great opponents, and i got a free broadside out of it!
-
It was weird. Ard Boyz Prelims are always stupid. I wish they would run it differently.
-
from the regs who got top 3
-
1. Willem (Imperial Guard)
2. Emory (Tyranids)
3. Simon (Witch Hunters)
4. Wyatt (Space Wolves) Not a regular, just a result I remember.
8. Ben (Chaos Daemons)
I think Pat finished just behind me with his Space Marines.
Grey Knights were a shocking disappointment. 3 out of the 14 armies were GKs and they were all bottom-half. They had some highly preferable (on paper) match-ups too.
I imagine Chase will have the full results posted tomorrow. I imagine it, like as if it were a fanciful dream, too good to come true!
-
Ya I took 9th Without a Single win to my name :P. If I had an optimized list I possibly could have done better but for what its worth I pushed a good fight against all my opponents and learned a lot.
-
shot i was really rooting for pat 2 win
-
I imagine Chase will have the full results posted tomorrow. I imagine it, like as if it were a fanciful dream, too good to come true!
Busy day today. I'll have em up later tonight.
-
cya at 4 am chase
-
So how many people showing up on This thursday with 500 Point lists so we can do a 4v4 :P.
-
Well, anyone who missed the forum today has a bunch of catching up to do, so I'll keep this short.
Ard Boyz fatigue is among us, so there may be a smaller crowd this week. Don't let that discourage you or anyone from coming, just temper your expectations. Likely fewer playing options.
Setting up matches in advance here on the forum made things very smooth. I won't mind if that becomes habit!
I'll be there this week to help coordinate if it's needed, and aside doing hobby-related activities like painting and building.
-
So how many people showing up on This thursday with 500 Point lists so we can do a 4v4 :P.
Ha, you may just talk me out of doing things I need to do, and into things I want to do.
-
That's a great idea, Pat. I fully endorse it.
-
If some one doesn't mind a bunch of proxies, im looking for 1000 point tau game. But i am also game for a tyranids game of almost any points level.
-
Serious 500 Point bunch of people on teams just duke it out for the heck of it :O I dont think you can cheese much in 500 points at all :O.
-

You'd think 500 points would mean less cheese, but the opposite can be true. In higher point games, you can bring more options to solve problems. At 500 points, some armies are truly limited. Cheese in that regard is relative. Like, I can still fit Fateweaver into a legal 500 point list. :D
If I had Space Marines and had to draw up 500 points on the fly...
Space Marines - 500 points

A 4 player game may be of my interest...But if that's already "filled up" I'm wheeling for a 1500 point game.
-
:p everyones already coming up with lists see how much fun this will be

Even though I cant make it on thursday, I thought id make some lists anyway, if only to prove how cheesy 500 point lists can be.

Big Mek with kff - 85

23 boyz - 138
23 boyz - 138
Heavy Support
3 Killa kanz with grotzookas - 135
In this list, the sheer model count is alot for many armies to deal with, combine that with the kanz for taking out big stuff, and the kff for cover saves all around, you've got a very scary army

2 Killa kanz with KMB - 120
The two big meks allow me to take deff dreads, which are normally heavy support, as troops choices, which means I don't even need to take boyz or grotz, and i can just put a giant amount of armor onto the table for just 500 points
-
The gundrones were a joke. :P
If I had to make an actual list, It would probably look like this
HQ - Shas'el w/ Multi-Tracker, HW Target Lock, Plasma Rifle, Misslepod, HW Drone Controller 2x Shield Drones, Bonding Knife -127 points

I see no need to limit this to 4 players. We can always push two tables together.

Question,
So I've got my 2k grey knights army about half glued and hopefully will be able to bring them down next Thursday to look for a game.
My question is this, is a 2k army too big for a first game? Because I'm happy with my 2k, already have enough other stuff for a 2500... but I think if I had to whittle this list down to 1k or 1500 I'm pretty sure I would cry lol
So 2k to big to learn on?
Thanks
-jason
-
no game is too big to learn with, but i have found that when learning a new army, it is easier to play smaller games. this way you have to worry about less units, but again, its up to you.
-
So 2k to big to learn on?
Good question!
2000 is about as big as we normally see around here, though 2500 is not uncommon. Teaching takes awhile regardless, because there is a steep learning curve to 40k, period. The first hurdle is the tallest, but then it gets easier.
Any point limit I think is fine to learn on, if you're in it for learning. I think it's a matter of the list. The more repetition in the list, the less likely it'll be a problem. For example, if you have 6 squads of Grey Knights in Heavy Bolter Razorbacks (with psyammo, of course), you'll obviously learn faster than having six differently equipped Troops and vehicles.
-
i think once you get over a point in points like i would say 1650-1850 and over the game seems to become dry and its like lets see what the dice do.
in smaller games like 1000-1650 you need to protect units more so cause it could cost you the game. thus making it better the learn.
i really feel that 2000 points and over and i don't think its just me who feels this way is like we are some rich guys at our golf club showing off our off clubs even though we suck at the game btw i can paint a mean golf club email me at zarition@gmail.com if you want you clubs painted.
-
Mercury FYI that list right there 555 Points 55 too many :O. Stop Learning from Ben and being a Big Cheater.
Oh! Shitaki mushroom! Ok, well I'll figure something out! It's not cheating it's a bit of friendly "tactics"...
-
Seriously though are people interested in this Multiplayer 500 point game cause if they are I would like to bring some guys who might be interested in 40k and give them a chance to play with a smaller army with some of the good folks here.
-
I'm very excited about this 500 point game stuff.
-
yay! it looks like i will have the models i need to play 500 points of tau! not a particularly great list, but there have been worse.
-
I know we are planning to do a cool 500 point thing this thursday. But next thursday would anyone be up for something different next week? A while ago the GW did this thing where like 20 people each had control of one tank on a big table, and it was a last man standing thing. There was a lot of terrain so it wasn't just a who ever goes first thing. The point limit was something like 300 points (so necrons can play too). The turn order was determined by picking numbers out of a hat. Would anyone have any interest in this? or is this me just being happy that i now have a tank?
-
ya we already to this the event is call tanksgiving.
-
Well stuff me like a turkey, cool! And i will actually be able to participate! GO HAMMER HEADS!

what if we just did an every man for him self deal? or would that get to confusing?
-
last year at bg1 or bga or first bg. we did a 1 troops with 1 hq i think it was 300 point game with like city of death terrain. it was with like 9 people and it was great. i had like a warboss on bike with 3 nobs it was so bad but so fun
-
what if we just did an every man for him self deal? or would that get to confusing?
That's actually how Tanksgiving went. Every person brought a tank, and it was an all-out free for all. Pretty damn good time... :D
-
I'm quite interested in this 500 point thing, Patrick. As long as nobody minds a few marines counting as scouts ill be set! I'll use a librarian I recently bought in place of Mephiston!
-
If my orders come in one time, i am going to take my tau out for a whirl, if not, good ol bugs!

Earlier in this thread (~pg30) I posted some IG lists expanding on that.
-
I've got a couple of 1850 lists I'd like to try out. How early do people get there on thursdays?
-
basically around 6, i think 500 point games are going to be the flavor of the night, but im sure you will be able to find a game.
-
I've got a couple of 1850 lists I'd like to try out. How early do people get there on thursdays?
I have to drive a pretty far distance so i usually show up around 1. If you are there at noon-ish i'll play an 1850 point game before the 500 point madness occurs.
-
Ron, I'll check with the non-forum players, see if they'll entertain 1850.
-
i want to play 1850
-
I've been mulling over 500-point mini-battle logistics, and I think this sounds good. It's not set in stone, but I believe the simpler, the better. I haven't run this by anyone yet, so please comment.
Each player brings a legal 500 point force that adheres to the Force Organization Chart. Please write a legible list.
We will draw for teams at 7 PM.
There will be two teams competing. Teams will be chosen randomly. In the event of an odd player, the short team will be able to field an extra but separate 500 point list.
Table size will be based on the number of players. Table size will increase 1' on the long-edge section for each player. Four people, 4x4'. Eight people, 4x8'. etc.
Length: 5 turns.
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Mission: Objectives, equaling the the number of players divided by half, rounding down. 4 players, 2 objectives. 10 players, 5 objectives. 13 players, 6 objectives. etc.
Matt doesn't know this yet, but he'll be placing the objectives. :)
Thought, suggestions, concerns?
-
Sounds like gravey! It willbe interesting, because as the armies are all small, we wont see any real death stars, mostly just small skirmishing units.
-
I'll bring a 500 point list too. I should be there around 5:30 ish
-
YAY! I moved back to RI afew months ago and been looking for somewhere new to play. Probably won't make it tomorrow night, but going to try and get up next week!
Question, what's everyones feeling on playing against unpainted or partially painted? Most of my models are painted but not everything. Oh, I'm a guard player :D
-
Nobody cares whether or not your army is painted. However, there may be a couple of shellshock victims from 'ard boys that may not appreciate fighting another guard army XD.
-
I have an almost completely unpainted Army Til I dont think many people have problems with it I myself am still choosing a Style and Chapter for my Space Marines. As for the set up I think that will work out Fine Ben that is What I was proposing for as an Idea except for we Need a Prize. I KNOW :O FREE HUGS FROM CHASE!!!!
-
Pat, personally, after ard boyz, i ma ready for some nice casual games without prizes. But i do think we should all give chase hugs and fondle his hair ;D
-
Ard Boyz is stupid as I know the most likely outcome is going to be the same as MTG. Ban Imperial Guard just like they Banned Jace the Mindsculptor.
-
you can beat guard, you just need to think and be careful, and have some luck. But yes, i do find their damage out put to point ration a tad bit silly.
-
Tilarium, welcome. As you can tell, we all need more practice against Imperial Guard! Whenever you can make it, don't be shy.
To Ard Boyz, Willem knows if I hadn't rolled like a dead dog with Fateweaver, he would have had his hands full with my Daemons. But I didn't. There's a reason my tournament pattern has become win-lose-close match, and it's almost entirely with the Daemon codex. The IG codex can be powerful, but it can also be stopped. Don't let one Ard Boyz result convince anyone it's the top codex. Still, had I the money and time for another army, there's a good chance it would be IG. I like their potential.
Have I talked enough about IG? Good. Now what about the 500 point thing? Sound good? The prize is bragging rights. Time to get our machismo on.
-
Yeah I'd definitely play in that. Also, I'm pretty sure i can vouch for 2 other people at least.
-
Willem and I will be there!
-
Dont worry about me to much, I havent played much in the las few years. Players were scarce in Hawaii. Last time I've played was back in January, so I'm pretty rusty. Only army not to fall to my guard was when I want against a chaos army.. held my own until they dropped in the deamon.. Though I survived until the turns all ran out.
-
Dont worry about me to much, I havent played much in the las few years.
Well around these parts, that admission bumps you to the top priority on the list. We've got some patient guys who like to teach and run refresher games. Can't get better if you don't play! :)
-
So there were two NOVA practice games.
Imperial Guard vs Grey Knights
Blood Angels vs Space Wolves
We had the MiniMegaBattle, with 13 players fielding 500 points each, everyone tucked into a 4x12' table. With the rules I posted a few posts back, things were kept on schedule really well and we had a decisive winner. Team Black scored more objective markers over Team Red, by a margin of 3-1.
Believe it or not, we chose teams randomly.
Team Black
Grey Knights
Eldar
Tau
Tau
Tau
Chaos Daemons
Tyranids
Team Red
Imperial Guard
Imperial Guard
Space Marines
Space Marines
Chaos Space Marines
Blood Angels
Chaos Daemons
Red deployed first, but they didn't land enough damage to soften Black's counter-punch. By Turn 3, we had an idea of where the game was going.
If there's a next time, I'd tweak a few things, but overall I would declare the hastily arranged event was a success. With 15 minute team turns, it was very amusing to see rules disputes in motion.
"I have a 4+ cover save."
"No, you don't."
"Yeah!"
"No!"
"Yeah!"
"No!"
"Guys, one minute left in the round."
"Let's roll off."
"Okay."
:D
A nice diversion, a good way for people to meet each other and learn armies. It'll be awhile before anything happens like that again, I think.
A note for those who weren't at the store tonight. Thursdays in Plainville will now also be featuring a Magic Draft Night. This means lots of Magic players and less back-table space to spread out. We're being asked to keep the 40k stuff compact as possible.
-
As the Red General I have taken the fullest responsibility that a General of an Imperium army can. *shoots one of the Infantry Men* Thats for not fighting hard enough.
-
Might be getting up to Plainville this upcoming Thursday for some 40k. If I do it'd be a 1500-2000 point game, I run spacewolves. If I'm there I call you out for a game Ben. ^_^
-
Unless something comes up I'll be there next Thursday night aswell. Like I said, first time playing sense January so I'm going to be a bit rusty on the rules and what needs to be rolled. Spent today going through my finished models and orginizing them into units.. I'm ready to go! I can't wait to unleash my favorite model, it's never been in a game before, see if it lives up to the title of "death on two treads" LOL So... ummm... any non marine, not chaos? Those were all I ever fought in Hawaii, hated it. There was one match though, against orks, so much fun.. but that was also under the old guard codex, not the crappy new one we have... I hate the new guard codex.... Anyway, rambling :D
-
I think I need thursday off. To teach this spacewolf girl a lesson in how we do things in the Aett. Silly bloodclaws think they can mouth off to just anyone now a-days. that being said. The boss likes to choose my schedule by throwing darts at the calendar. :-\ All threats and rants considered invalid untill i actually show up at plainville.
-
So... ummm... any non marine, not chaos?
My post-Thursday 40k breakdown just above is a pretty standard cross-section of what we usually see. We have an unusual concentration of Tau and Tyranid players in Plainville. Aside from that, all other factions are represented almost equally.
We'll be down a couple of our regular players next week, as they head off early to NOVA. For those unaware of NOVA, it's kind of a big deal. This year they'll be wrangling a 256 player tournament, the NOVA Open. The Invitationals is comprised of GT winners, a best of the best competition.
-
Last night was awesome! A little organized "hecticness" is nice every once in a while. I was pretty zoinked by the end though..."HENRY! HENRY!" *snap snap* "HENRY!" "Huh!?! what!?!? I'm at Battleground?"
-
It definitely was an interesting battle, It had almost all of the same problems as the mega battle, people wandering off/ standing around with nothing to do etc. Makes me wonder that it might be an interesting way to test the next years setup and scenarios prior to actually playing the game.
-
even though it was timed if felt like a drag.
it kind of was really bored for 3 turns nothing really happened to me. well you did mind war me but that was pretty much it.
-
It definitely was an interesting battle, It had almost all of the same problems as the mega battle, people wandering off/ standing around with nothing to do etc. Makes me wonder that it might be an interesting way to test the next years setup and scenarios prior to actually playing the game.
I noticed the same issues as well! Despite the point difference between the Megabattle and our Minibattle, plus the different groups of people, the same tendencies popped up.
What I would take from the Minibattle and apply to the Megabattle is timed turns. Turns also would become increasingly faster as models are (theoretically) removed from the tables. It is possible to keep a schedule! It's a different concept and I'm sure not a universally accepted one... but, there's next year to worry about that.
-
In case there is / was any concern, the Magic Draft is currently only experimental. I have been asked many times by many people to run a draft on Thursday and I am simply responding to demand and "testing the waters" so to speak...
Plainville's schedule, while awesome, is probably always going to be under construction.
-
I think something to consider if we ever do something of this level again is kind of limit the number of each type of army to each side. I dont mean say hey we can only have this many tau but we had 3 tau players and they all ended up on the same side and shot the heck up of the mech dependent armies that we had on Red Side. I did take a couple of pictures from it and as soon as I upload them onto my comp ill post them up here.
Things Red Team should take away from this game as lessons IMO.
Seize Ground/Objectives take the Second Deployment always. A Major downfall we had was they set up to counter us and luckily they didnt grab first turn cause I could have seen it ending turn 2 or 3 for the second table if that happened. The Space Marines I deployed myself did absolutely the least they could do because they had to move across the whole board to get to anything and nothing was in range of fire when I did on turn 5.
Dont Depend on Mech lists so much. This comes from the way the Meta-Game is right now a lot of people throwing a lot of anti-tank/Anti-vehicle around in there armies if they can only shoot once a round with something if you have 30 guys you will probably live through the 7 shots he can throw at you max.(looking at you Orkz)
Pay attention to everything on the board as a whole. I noticed we had a Librarian on our side of the table who could have at least attempted to stop some Grey Knight Shenanigans. This isnt particularly the players fault I know he was running from each table edge to try and control his army cause he was deployed everywhere.
Placement. Not just deployment but how guys deploy out of a vehicle whether it be wrecked or not. If a guy is close enough to assault one guy he can assault the whole squad. I know we had lost some pretty decent guns because we had to get rid of those guys to prevent assaulting.
-
There are quite a number of things one can learn from the Minibattle that can also be applied to any Warhammer game.
I think something to consider if we ever do something of this level again is kind of limit the number of each type of army to each side.
That would help even things up quite a bit.
If you are facing a gunline in a Singles game, and you're going first, what do you do? Think on it, because the answers might save your hide.
Seize Ground/Objectives take the Second Deployment always.
To be fair, you were staring down a gunline, but generally, yes. Objectives = second. After all, you should be deploying to provide maximum protection. If that doesn't work, either the board or your list is faulty.
Dont Depend on Mech lists so much.
Rock, paper, scissors. This is the argument for balanced lists. The counter-argument is to take your chances you won't meet your bane, and if you do, at least to have a plan for it.
Pay attention to everything on the board as a whole.
QFT. Team Black also communicated better than Red.
Placement. Not just deployment but how guys deploy out of a vehicle whether it be wrecked or not. If a guy is close enough to assault one guy he can assault the whole squad. I know we had lost some pretty decent guns because we had to get rid of those guys to prevent assaulting.
That comes with time and practice. But congratulations, that's next level thinking!
-
Well Ya the Gun line thing really hurt us but ya BLack was communicating better as you said we had stuff all over the place at times and I had no clue what was going on at the other table at times after turn 1 or 2.
The Mech thing is probably more or less like you said balancing you had a lot of Anti-Tank that decimated us but even if we didnt have much mechs you had a lot of anti-infantry also.
The whole placement thing was something I had learned about at Ard Boyz certain choices can make or break a game for you. It got reiterated at the Mini-Pocalypse game where some guns were out of reach and stuff was placed in danger when it could have been avoided.
-
The Mech thing is probably more or less like you said balancing you had a lot of Anti-Tank that decimated us but even if we didnt have much mechs you had a lot of anti-infantry also.
It's noteworthy too to see what did survive. For instance, it's not a surprise to see both Fateweavers alive. Big expensive units, like Kairos and Draigo, designed to take a beating and who did. Ron brought enough Eldar bodies to hold his objective. Tanks deployed by themselves or without cover were easily picked off, while Willem's Lehman Russ tanks held out the longest, in part because of better armor, but in part because of better placement. He had plenty of LOS blocking terrain covering one flank. My Fateweaver killed his tank only with a lucky shot, and then Fateweaver started taking shots from a building full of missile launchers and an Obliterator. Lots of infantry in terrain lived to fight another day.
With 500 points, we could also allow a half-hour beforehand for list composition. So a team of players could sit down and make lists together. That should help balance things a bit more too. One team won't show up with all infantry, or mini-stars with almost no Troops.
-
I think taking second turn versus such a large amount of tau would have been a good choice, no matter what the mission.
However, All I remember is lascannons, space marine rockets, and all 4 of my shield drones dying turn 1 x.x
-
I personally thought this game was great. But i also think that while black team was on the ball, we also had some luck with us. My single broad side slagged a leman russ, predator, and a speeder 3 turns in a row, and i was passing d-pod saves on my fish like crazy. But seriously, 500 point games are fun! has any one considered doing a 500 point game tourney? the nice part would be that games only take like 45 minutes so you could have 5+ games in the event.
-
Thats not Luck thats how Broadsides work :p.

First things first!

Yay! ;D
Second,
has any one considered doing a 500 point game tourney?
It crossed my mind, but some mission types are the issue. Some will not scale down and still be fun for both players. Like Kill Points and Victory Points, where you kill an opponent's unit and spend the rest of the game running away. Maybe KPs and VPs can be settled by a margin rather than a flat comparison...
-
yeah, there would definitely have to be some modifications. maybe for kill point missions, there is an objective in the middle that you get points every turn for controlling, that would force people to get into the game and not run away.
-
There is a solid chance I would be interested in a 500 point tournament. The game would be so weird.
-
I'm gonna start a 500 point thread.

Does anyone want to play a 1v1 1250 point game versus my little brother next thursday? He's sort of new and plays daemons. He will be around because he doesn't have camp anymore.
-
Sorta new versus hasn't played in a while could be interesting.......
-
What time do you plan on being there?
-
I'm not sure what time I'll be getting up there, probably 6 or 7. With me not playing in a while and your bro being still new, we might need a ref to watch the game and help out with the rules and such. Up for it? It'll be a good chance to help a new player get into the game and get an old timer back up to speed... :D
-
With me not playing in a while and your bro being still new, we might need a ref to watch the game and help out with the rules and such.
I could be a ref, rules guide, 40k sherpa. It would be a good opportunity for me to continue learning about Imperial Guard, and I happen to know a thing or two about Daemons.
I'm also interested continuing the 500 point tournament idea in person.
-
Ok, so after several weeks, a bottle or two or glue and a lot of magnets I've finally assembled my grey knights army and was hoping to find a game this Thursday
That being said I've never rolled the dice in a warhammer game so I'm hoping ben or someone else who doesn't mind teaching will help this big noob out.
I've got a 2k list prepared I'm pretty happy with, but with enough notice i could trim it down if 2k is too much for a first game.
Thanks
-jason
-
That's great news, Jason. Congrats!
I don't imagine you'll have trouble finding a game.
In other news:
Also, I just had a guy come in and buy a bunch of Orks (which I simply CAN NOT keep in stock lately...) and he mentioned stopping by to check stuff out this Thursday. He doesn't plan to play though.
-
Sounds like we'll be having lots of learning going on Thursday!

Sounds like that may have been Brian. The first Nob biker he built was too sweeeet, a big ol' trike using trukk wheels. I don't know anyone else buying Orks, though.
Jason, nice!
I think now its a good idea to set up a 2v2 game with the new/recently returned players, either with me as a ref, or in a pinch, me as a player. Accelerate the learning!

Nah, it wasn't Brian. His biker Boss guy is AWESOME though.
I'm not sure what this guys name is but he plans to stop by on Thursday.

Nice to see we will have New People attending Thursday 40k. In Other news Why is the Thunderfire Cannon still sold out everywhere :O I want some so I can all be like BOOM BOOM KAPOWIE.
-
Loranus,
I happen to have a thunderfire cannon painted in salamanders colors that I have zero use for ;D.
I just want to say again that I am so grateful for what you Thursday 40k people are doing for the local community. Keep up the great work.
-
I see Bill and how much would one desire to part with such a piece of technology.

yes there was tomuch of a void in our area im guessing since you guys picked the plainest town in the us and said this will be good for minis

Anyone interested in a 2500 point game this Thursday? I am looking to get a few practice games in before the semis.

That can likely happen. The Ackman brothers enjoying playing at 2500, are regulars, and both qualified for the semis.

I'll send you a PM

oooooo im one of those people! asuran, i will be there and available around 6:45 ish, and I would love to get in a ard boyz practice game. May i know what army you are going to be fielding? or is that a secret? ill tell you i am playing nids, and again i would love some practice. Sadly though ben, i think i may be the only ackman brother there this thursday.
-
It will be either Grey Knights or IG. A friend of mine from college is giving me his old IG and I have no clue how much he has.
-
AHHHHHHH both those armies scare the pants off of me, but those are the kind of armies i need practice against so thats a good thing .see you there.

Ah... British TV from the 80s. That explains ALOT! Included is my not understanding... British comedy, the funniest of all concepts ever to exist... ;D
Keeping on topic, ready for tonight, got army lists built for 500 points (this was hard to make, stupid guard), 1986 points (how really plays 2000k anyway?), and 1250 points.
-
Yo ben, i might be like a half hour late, can you let asureman know that i will still be down there if i am late? Thanks
-
I am leaving work now; takes 45 minutes to get there; so no worries.

Free Tee shirt for me :D
-
Thanks asuran for that game, it was a great one!
-
wes ill give you a sandwitch 4 the t shirt
-
I had my head (and was in way over it) with the 2v2 learning game, IG & Daemons vs Blood Angels & Grey Knights. We learned Guard armor isn't armor.
Tyranids vs IG
Space Marines vs Eldar
I honestly don't remember who else may have played. Busy for me, but a relatively quiet week. NOVA depleted most of the core crew.
Speaking of which, best of luck to Simon, Bill, Troy and any other traveling BG players! (For those who don't know, NOVA is kind of a big deal.) Simon needs to win "Best" something or I riot, and Troy needs to kick Dash's butt all over the Hyatt.
For winning the free t-shirt, everyone needs to wish Wes a Happy Karate Day.
-
The 2v2 thing was a bit slow but at least I got to meet some new people, Paul, Kyle, and for some reason I want to say Peter. In other news, HAPPY KARATE DAY WES!
-
Damn you Wes you lucky man you.
-
wes ill give you a sandwitch 4 the t shirt
Holy crap, you will give me a sand-witch? whats it do?
and thankyou everyone for wishing me a happy karate day
-
Games that I recall:
2v2
Eldar v SM
Tyranids v GK
DE v SM
Lizardmen v Tomb Kings
For a "light" night there certainly seemed to be a lot of people / players there. I think there were probably another 10ish 40k players in the room that weren't playing, for whatever reason.
-

Slow, yes, but a good learning, everything started to come back pretty quick. Next week I'll beable to rock a game pretty easy. I'm surprised my guard didn't all die in droves and in fact almost killed Mephisto(?) while only losing *1* guardsman.

I was having so much fun playing mtg that i forgot to play 40k this week :P

Part of that may be no open tournaments on the radar. We had a pretty good stretch there of like three tournaments piled into each other (Singles, Trios, Ard Boyz).
A couple of the Magic players you saw got some 40k done well before most people arrived, and that's pretty usual for them.
-
There is not likely to be any 40k tournaments until November (doubles, most likely).
There is a league coming though... ;)

poor Mephiston was getting picked on like it was his first day of Jr High... he was different than the other kids... mostly because he can fly lol
also ishould of killed those damn flamer daemons before they got that close to my termies
-
Flamers will do that ;)
-
Funnily enough, the only thing Im not afraid of in 40k as Necrons, is deepstrikish armies without any large monsters to kill, deathwing (?) and demon free demon armies are tasty
-
also ishould of killed those damn flamer daemons before they got that close to my termies
Nothing like that moment of discovery.
"What do those do?"
"This." *FLAME ON*
"Oh."
You'll have many of those. :)
-
Welp, first day went alright, but didn't get my schedule yet. I do know that I'll likely be working 11-12 at night so should beable to get my game on!
-
My little brother always hits with his damn flamers, too.
-
Looks like at the rate power is being restored, I imagine Plainville will be up and running by Thursday. If not, gaming in the parking lot, by candlelight.

Does anyone want to play 2k points? PM me.
*edit* already found a game
-
Does anyone want to play 2k points? PM me.
Tau player I'm guessing? Never played them, but I won't commit to a game. I don't know if I'll beable to make it up or not, still don't know what days I'll be working. Don't want to have to rush to work right from the game.
-
I'll be bringing 2k worth of Grey Knights that thats to Ben I've got a basic grasp on how to play... that being said i'm still a noob who hasn't finished a game yet lol
i'll be there at 6ish to try to punch Ben's Daemons in the face unless somebody wants an earlier game
-
i'll be there at 6ish to try to punch Ben's Daemons in the face unless somebody wants an earlier game
I actually should be there tomorrow quite early like 4:30 or so. We can definitely start the face-punching earlier.
This also means around 6-7 o'clock, I'll likely be busy and people might have to *gasp* interact with other in person at the store to find a game. If my Daemons last that long...
-
i got a game at 1-2 that should only take hour maybe hour and a half then im gonna buy i pizza if you wanna show up early like at 3ish if you want to play me so you can get in muti-games
then you can play ben when he shows up phoenixfire.
-
I'll plan on getting there for 430ish then Ben, let me know if anything changes
thanks for the offer Ed, normally 3pm would be fine but theres a big damn tree sitting in my front yard that Irene knocked over, and i'm going to be spending most of tomorrow carving that thing up like a thanksgiving day turkey

Just set it on fire. Problem solved.

Is Thursday 40tykay still on, even though there's no power to Plainville?

We have power as of this post.

I say leave the tree, it should count as difficult terrain if anyone wants to try and get to your house.

I likely won't be able to post, but I can call the store if something has gone very awry.

Alas, I won't be making it up tonight, got to work Friday morning at Midnight... don't have a desire to drive straight from there to Providence. Word is we're going to get to pick our day off but there is some holiday or something this weekend that prevents it.
-
On the first day, all was storm and chaos.
On the second day, there was only the Word of Chase.
On the third day, there was curiosity but no answers.
On the fourth day God said, "Let there be light!" and it was good.
On the fifth day God said, "Let there be Warhams!" and it was good.
Hallelujah, amen.

Awry is no big deal, just as long as things don't run amuck!
-
The really solid game tonight against PhoenixFire drew my attention away from the rest of what was happening tonight. But the store looked active.
Daemons vs Grey Knights - Jason's first ever solo game and I had to bring a competitive list just to hang around. It's so scary what a good GK list can do to Daemons. Beware, Grey Knights rising!
Tau vs Blood Angels (Tau bubble popped, fast vehicles FTW)
Blood Angels vs IG (game called on account of partying)
Tyranids vs Orks (didn't look good for the Orks)
There was another game with two people I didn't have the chance to meet, and I had no idea what armies they were playing. And I prolly missed a couple more.
-
Look like it turned out a good night. After a real shitty time at work I really couldn't make it tonight :(. Next week Ill show up But for LAIR ASSAULT :O.
-
That 'nids v ork game sounds like and interesting match. But alas I was not able to see, stupid work!
-

I believe the Tervigons spawned something like 45 Gaunts pretty early on. So the Tyranids quickly outnumbered the Orks, which was not the easiest thing to do.
-
Thanks again Ben, had a good time that game, think my list worked well though clearly identified some weaknesses with my assualt game (which is probably party due to the fact i forgot about hammerhand for most of the game lol)
-

You'll need a check-list of powers to remember, and it'll get (war)hammered in Pavlov style.
"Assault Phase." "HAMMERHAND!"
Daemons do assault really, really well. It's not a GK weakness, so much as the Daemons' sole strength. As it is, Grey Knights do assault quite well and bring lots of power/force weapons to carve through armor, along some of the best grenades in the game. This is one reason I'm thinking your next opponent should probably be a Marines or MEQ (Marine equivalent) player. There's alot of nuance to the Assault Phase as well, half of which extends back to the previous phases. If I learned it all, you can!
You may want to draw up a smaller list for quicker games, at least until you get the numbers and dice down pat. See what you can come up in the next couple weeks for 1500 points. I know, it takes some of the fun units out, but the match will be shorter than a Red Sox-Yankees game.
-
daemons are nor redsox or yankees , they are like the pirates.
-
Who's up for some guard squashing on Thursday? I'm going to double check when I'm at work to make sure, but looks like I'll be off Friday morning (I work 11p-X in the morning) which means I should make it up this week.
Grrrrrr....! Good news, bad news time. Good news is that I'm finally going to get my finger looked at (it's been infected for about a week). Bad news is that the only time I could get an appointment is for today, so I had to change my day off.. means I might not be making it up on Thursday now! :'(
-
At least you're making the right call. Take care of that finger.
Anyone want to step in with a joke here? It's a pretty good set-up.

So tempting, but I don't think I know you guys well enough to make that kind of a joke yet. :P
At any rate, I'm planning on being in town the week of the 18th, and was planning on coming down to Plainville that Thursday. Would anyone be interested in doing an Apocalypse game? Been a long time since the Megabattle, and I'm itching for some 4K+ type games. Let me know if anyone's interested, and maybe we can get a few tables set up for something.
Thanks!

The 22nd may be a bit busy being the start of the Vogen League Campaign (*hint hint to others*), but I'm pretty sure we can get you set up with something.
-
Man, I really liked the vibe in the store tonight. It was loose, it was fun, reminded me why I put the effort in.
Blood Angels vs Tau
Orks vs Space Marines
Blood Angels vs Imperial Guard
Then there were two 500 point games I got to play...
Daemons vs Orks
Daemons vs Tau
The first game excluded HQ units and was meant as a refresher. The second game was full-on 500 and it is noted that Fateweaver hates Tau with a passion.
4x4" is I admit a pretty good size, and I got some solid ideas about the 500 tournament.
-
I'll be there Thursday with 2k of pure grey knights, and a 1500 GK/Inquisition list as well.
probably get there 5-6 or so
-
I am going to be in tomorrow for a little bit. I am looking to get in some games with my tau. Would any one be interested in a 500 point game? i will probably be able to fit in at least two of them. My army is wysiwyg, except that i have a tyranid warrior standing in for a suit >=( stupid GW grumble. I can do 1000 points, but that will involve a few more proxies, and while id live to get in a 1000 point game, i know that know one wants to play with proxies, so i wont push my luck. Any takers for 500 points?
-
Emory, I think Brian will be around and he's got 500 points of Orks to play with now. I've always got 500 of Daemons in various combinations as well.
Jason, don't know who you might play at the moment, but I'm still sure we can find someone for you to beat up on.
And Benshin is looking for a 4000 point game next week! Anyone not in the campaign interested in that madness? :D
-
Last minute, but does anyone want a 2k game? All my friends apparently are not going tonight XD
-

Any particular time you'll be available or available until? You're usually there before I am. Pretty sure you'll be able to get a 2k game in.

2 great games tonight
Brian's orks out up a good fight, but ended up getting out assaulted by the tau (wait, what?)
Pats salamanders managed to take out ~200 points in turn 1 with 2 orbital bombardments. However, the tau were able to claw them selves back into an even game, one that saw a devil fish fly across the board and ping uselessly off a rhino, survive assault by two (!?!?!?) chapter masters (at 500 points) and then flat out again to tank shock a tactical squad, who failed moral, and were escorted off the board, then the poor two fire warriors stumbled out onto the objective with a chronic case of car sickness.
long story short... TANKS ARE COOL!!!
thanks both of you for the great games!
-
Good vibe around the store tonight.
Grey Knights vs Tau - Capture and Control and Draw
Dark Eldar vs Blood Angels
Space Wolves vs Space Wolves
Space Wolves vs Tyranids
Space Wolves (sigh :P) vs Eldar
The 500 games are catching on as a good way for people to play who don't have time for the full game. Any feedback relating to table size, mission ideas or whatever, dump all that into the 500 Points thread. By this time next week, I'm hoping to have a draft of the packet ready for community review.
Good luck to everyone playing the Ard Boyz tournament this Saturday!
-
I played the double troop VP's mission, and the diagonal deployment with 3 objectives, and the game seemed pretty balanced.

In the diagonal deployment, how much difficulty was there moving scoring units into mid-field? I actually have yet to set that up on a table myself.
-
Well, i actually ended up holding his objective and the middle one, and had not troops in my deployment zone. Some armies might have problems, but that just means you need to be either really tough, or very mobile, i really doubt it will be a problem.

You guys seems to have built a really nice community here. I was glad that I was able to come out with a couple friends and everyone was welcoming and kind to us.
It was a fun night, was able to watch a few games to readjust to newer editions and in between discuss the finer points of America vs Canada!
Thank you all, and hopefully we will see you all again soon.
-
Hey, i will be bringing 1000 points of tau next week, it has 2 proxies, but other than that its all set! would any one be game for a game (see what i did there)?

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the evening. The night was a good example of what is usually going on Thursdays. The next six weeks should be busier with the Vogen campaign. If you or your friends want to arrange for a small learning match any time, come back to this thread and someone can usually accommodate that pretty easily.

If no one else takes you up on the offer, likely I can. But I would be remiss in not warning you that my Daemons *hate* Tau and will break both face and dice. I'm not sure who of our regulars is signing up for the campaign, so I can't suggest an alternative...
-
oh wow, i forgot about the league xD, well, im going to be there early, so maybe i can get in a game earlier if some one is around, i plan on being there at around 5:30.
-
I won't be in the league if anyone wants a 2k game.
-
Hey dissimulation, how would you feel about dumbing it down to 1000 points? id do higher but i barely own 1000.
-
call me kevin, and i don't really like doing mirror matchups. If you brought your tyranids i'd be happy to play versus them.
-
>.> Ill be in the League most likely so Ill be around for like Lair Assault, Vogen, Magic, Encounters, And casual 40k.
-
As the Vogen League campaign starts tonight, I thought I should point out that casual Thursday 40k soldiers on in the face of organized fun. :P
Looking forward to a bustling store over the next month plus!

sorry ben and chase, this picture was just too appropriate XD
oh, and my tau won their grudge match with brians orks, which again involved far too many instances of tau initiating assaults against orks. Also, this happened
2 ork bikers charge 2 gun drones
drones attack and manage to kill one! and lose one in return, next turn the gun drone rolls well, but not well enough, and the biker does 2 wounds... and a 4 and a 6 come up! and then next turn, the drone kills the biker... yep, thats right, 2 tough mean biker orks got killed by a pair of roombas. WIN!!! thanks again brian for the great game! that damn truck has too stop careening!
-
So Claude came up from New London, CT to check out the campaign... And the campaign fell through with only 6 players. But we salvaged the evening for him! Grey Knights & Chaos Daemons vs Dark Angels & Tau. We also decided to play the Total War scenario (all three rulebook scenarios at once, winner wins the most scenarios). It turned out just to be a fun game for all, laid back and most appropriately a draw.
There was Grey Knights vs DOA Blood Angels, in addition to Tau vs Orks. Also, a new-to-BG Daemons army vs Necrons. Feels like a light evening in retrospect, but all the same a good time.
-
Battle report time! so ive decided to battle reportize mine and brians game, from the perspective of one of his nobz
Thugg the nob fiddled with his power claw, and then, because he was bored, hit gurt over the head with it. He was not particularly happy, his waghboss, gut krumba had been leading his waghhh on a mission of vengeance, which was great and all, but it had meant that thugg had not been able to get into a proper fight for at least a week, unless you counted that incident with lurg earlier that morning, and the lack of violence was making thugg restless and cranky. But the boss was dead set on finding and killing a particular blue skin, who wore a metal suit and had a pet air plane, and it looked like he had finally tracked down his quarry, and when the grots came running into the camp screaming about blue fish people, and tall bird men, this fact was confirmed, and all the orks in the camp started to get excited, and thugg was no exception
tau list
Shas'el
plasma rifle, missile pods, target array, HW target lock, HW multi tracker, HW drone controller, 1x shield drone
shas'ui
TL missile pods, flamer
shas'ui
TL missile pods, flamer
6x fire warriors
devil fish
disruption pods
10x kroot
broad side
black sun filter
ork list
waghboss
bike, power klaw
3x waghbikers
9x boyz
shootas
+ nob
bosspole, power klaw
9x boyz
'eavy armor, sluggas/choppas
+nob
'eavy armor, boss pole. power klaw
truck
big shoota
spear head, kill points 500 points, tau go first
Tau Turn 1:
my broad side tries to snipe the truck through a hole in the tower it was hiding behind but misses. Then the fire warriors manage to knock a wound of the waghboss, but all of my suits whiff, either missing, or rolling 1's to wound.
Ork Turn 1:
The orks surge forward, the truck drives out from the tower, and the bikers surge forward to bring their dakka guns to bear against the kroot. The foot slogging mob also advances into the ruins for cover. The ork shooting phase see's the truck's big shoota and the bikes killoff 5 kroot, who waver, but hold on a 7 for their LD check.
Thugg had barely gotten his boys in order (through judicious use of brute force) when the fight started, the blue fish people's shootign had little effect on the orks, and thugg sneered at their pitiful "hi teknology", then grull's ard boyz took off in their fancy new truck, which irritated him, first the boss gave them the armor, and now they got a truck? well, he swore he'd be a grot before he let grull and his fancy pants panzies get in all the fighting, so he and his boyz surged forward towards the tower
Tau turn 2
The suits move up for better firing positions, and the kroot move up to intercept the incoming bikes. the drones on the fish also detached to slow down the ard boyz when they eventually hit my lines. my broad side wrecks the trukk, which careens 10 inches towards my army O.O oops. I then manage to wipe out all but the nob, and i manage to take out one of the war bikers. i then jump my suits back away from the bikes, and try to protect my fire warriors with the drones.
Ork Turn 2:
The lone ard boy nob, who passed his LD check moves towards the devil fish, and the bikes separate to go after the drones, while the boss tries to get behind the kroot to get to the suits, but cant make it and has to content himself with slaughtering them the goot slogging boyz also advance towards my lines. the foot slogging boyz kill 3 fire warriors with shootas, which puts them out of assault from the lone nob. In the assault phase, he manages to wreck my fish, and the waghboss cleverly uses his choppa, so he strikes before the kroot, killing 4 of them, and the last one fails to hurt the boss, and is run down as he flees. then the bikes crash into the drones, who actually manage to kill a biker, and only lose one, tie combat!?!?!
Thugg let loose a guttural laugh as Grull's fancy new truck took a hit, flew out of control, and blew up, scattering dazed orks all over the place, who were promptly eliminated by the fish people, until only Grull was left, then, to add insult to injury, Thugg ordered his boyz to pause long enough to let out a hail of bullets at the small brown armored runts, so that Grull wouldn't be able to krump them, that put a smile on his face, or at least it did until, in a fit of rage grull ran at the big flying tank thing and ripped it out of the sky, and started yelling insults and brags back at Thugg
Tau turn 3:
the fire warriors advanced to double tap the the lone ard boy nob, and the rest of my army moved to wipe the boss off the face of the planet. Shooting saw the nob die, but my shooting at the boss was dismal, the broadside missed again, and it takes all three suits to bring down the boss. In assault, the drone missed the biker, who puts 2 wounds on the drone, who manages to save them both.
Ork turn 3:
The last ork squad advanced menacingly on the 3 remaining fire warriors, the only things in range, and declare their waghh. no shooting to be seen, and the boyz easily slaughter the fire warriors. But in the drone biker combat, a miracle happens, the drone rills a 4 to hit, and a 6 to wound... and the biker rolls a 3 for his save! the drone wins combat!!!
Grull's bragging and taunting was cut short as the little panzies with the long guns ran up behind him and pumped him full of shots. that got thugg laughing again. Then he saw his boss blown out of his saddle, and blasted in half. At this point Thugg realized something, he was the biggest ork left, which made him the new boss! with this realization he bellowed a blood curdling waghhhh at the top of his lungs, and charged his mob towards the runts who had offed Grull for him, and lay into them with the rest of his boyz. while his boyz continued to hack the dead bodies into smaller and smaller pieces, Thugg looked around to see who was left and saw Gubbitz standing on his bike trying to swat a strange flying thingy out of the sky, when the drone suddenly fired at his bike, igniting the fuel tank and consuming Gubbitz in a fire ball. Thugg barked out a laugh, "what a git" he thought as he chuckled.
Tau turn 4:
The orks consolidated nearer the remains of my army who were now up against the board edge. I move my two flamer suits into prime flamer positions. and everyone else except the broadside closes in for the kill. Shooting, i fire everything into the orks, and despite 11 hits with flamers, i only kill 3, but my commander manages to wipe out 4, and after the dust settled, only the nob and 2 boyz remain , but they pass their moral check on a 3. So, in order to prevent him assaulting, i took the initiative, and charged into assault with both flamer suits, the commander, and the lone gun drone. I kill off the 2 boyz before they can strike, but the nob, who is out of range of the commander, insta gibbs a missile/flamer suit, and so draws combat.
Ork Turn 4:
With nothing left on his side to do but assault, we get down to it, and it ends with my 2 remaining suits clumsily bludgeoning his nob to death before it can strike again.
Suddenly Thugg heard the sound of jets, and turned to see that his boyz had been surrounded by the big mekanikal beings, and his eyes fell on one of them in particular, with a funny horn that seemed to be ordering the others around, this must have been the commander his former boss had been trying to kill, and he made it his goal to be the one that mounted the funny looking head onto his boss pole. But before he could act on this notion, the funny looking suit things lit up his boyz, with bright bursts from energy weapons, missiles, and gouts of flame. By the end of the fusillade, only he and two other boyz remained, but neither of them even thought of turning tail and runnin away like a scaredy squig, and then the meks jumped into combat with him and his remaining boyz, his two boyz were beaten down before they could do much more than bellow at the strange looking contraptions, but the one attacking him just bounced off his thick head, and he pounced upon it, grabbing it's head between his klaw, and with a delightful popping crunching noise, he killed his squirming opponent. He jumped back up, and whirled to face the commander with fire in his deep set small eyes, barely noticing the 2 airplane things that kept bumping ineffectively into his head. He tensed readying himself to strike, but before he could, the other mekanikal creature tackled him from the side, and threw him off balance with the force of the jet on its back, and in his moment of distraction, the command suit struck, and while his attacks were clumsy and uncoordinated, the mek suit gave him incredible strength, and eventually, Thugg stopped moving after repeated blows to his skull
8 hours after the tau left the battle field, the rest of the ork waghhhhh arrived, and found only one survivor, a battered nob lying half dead in the dirt. Upon recovering (no thanks to the painboys' "careful" ministrations) Thugg, stormed through the makeshift camp to the bosses old kustom trike, climbed aloft, and declared with a shout, "IM DA NEW BOSS ROUND HERE, AN IF YOU RUDDY GITS DONT LIKE IT, ILL TURN YA INTO SQUIG BATE YA BUNCH OF YELLA BELLIED GROTS" and so the legend of the Thugg the 'ead cruncha began, and to this day, he still hunts that illusive mekanikal blue skin panzy, and he leaves a special spot on his bosspole for the funny horned head
so good, bad, really bad?

i still call BS on grey knights teaming up with daemons lol

i still call BS on grey knights teaming up with daemons lol
Me too! :P
-
Comon, if i take Cotaez, i can field 6 units of bound daemons, (pg 49 gkcodex)gk, siding with daemons is in the rules lol
I seriously thought Cotaez was running the daemon army from the battlebarge, my mistake!
Great game though, i really liked the two armies we faced, the tau were really loaded to the gills with ap1 and ap3, and the dark angels teleport assister was amazing, dark angles rerolled all but two deepstrikes.
Three things i learned that i wont forget,
- casting sanctuary would have made those terminators strike at init 1, take a difficult terrain test, and a dangerous terrain test.
- Mordrack is an upgrade character, he cant be targeted out of the squad, why did i forget?
-mm/plasma cannon stormravens dish out so much more damage than mm/lascannon!
And ill be back on Thursday, great store,great group of gamers.
-
Re: Emory's battle report.
What I like most, while the technical details are all there, is that the two of you played a game that told a story. That to me always makes a contest so much more memorable.
-
well now the gauntlet is really down, and brian has to revamp either his list, play style, or both and come and tag me back. I will be looking for a 1000 point game next thurs if i can make it, would any one be interested? and thanks for the feed back ben!
-
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the evening. The night was a good example of what is usually going on Thursdays. The next six weeks should be busier with the Vogen campaign. If you or your friends want to arrange for a small learning match any time, come back to this thread and someone can usually accommodate that pretty easily.
I may have to take you up on that offer! In fact, I we're going to stop in again on this upcoming Thursday, so if anyone is available for a learning match it would be greatly appreciated.
-

Was that you guys I saw in the store earlier today?
Thursday, I'm running the Black Reach kit for someone. So I can just keep that rolling, or if you wanted to actually use your own army, I'm sure someone around will be available. How much experience are we looking at?
-
Yeah it was, would have mentioned it then but you were in the middle of a game and I didn't want to intrude.
As far as experience, I'm probably all set other than random questions that will come out in games (I played more before and I've read through the new rule book a few times to pick out details), my brother will probably just need a translate from 3rd edition he understands the basics, and our friend will need most of the rules explained. He has only played fantasy and that was a while ago, so he'll understand points, stats, etc. that are similar in both but beyond that he needs an explanation.
Honestly, the Black Reach kit is probably the best option as none of our armies are quite in shape yet.
Again, thank you for this.
-
Yeah it was, would have mentioned it then but you were in the middle of a game and I didn't want to intrude....
Honestly, the Black Reach kit is probably the best option as none of our armies are quite in shape yet.
In the grim darkness of the near future, there will be Black Reach. The classic match-up of "WAAAGH!" vs "For the Emprah!"
Next time, totally feel free to say hi. I like chatting. :)
-
I love it!
-
You know what's awesome? Thursday 40k. And it's happening tomorrow. Maybe you've heard of it?
Just curious, who's in for tomorrow evening?
-
If my boss doesn't give more people who dont need days off days off. Ill be there.
-
Troy and I will be there along with two of our friends. Looking for some doubles (1250 per) and of course 1850-2k singles
-

Nice! You guys looking to get in some practice for Battle for Salvation?
-
No there is an 1850 this weekend. I am mostly trying to get use to my new army. I am done for big tournies this year trying to get ready to hit it hard next year.
Speaking of which; for people interesting in following our club. Keep an eye out for the events we plan to attend next year on our facebook page. Link in my sig.
-
Viva la Thursday
I'll be there with a couple different 2k Grey Knight armies as per usual
-
Quick run-down.
Grey Knights vs Space Marines
Grey Knights & Deathwing vs Iron Hands & Space Wolves
Daemons vs Space Wolves
Space Marines vs Orks (Black Reach style!)
Solid night of gaming. Lots of extreme Warhammer dice moments, good and bad across the store. Win or go home!
-
Ben the proper term is
Win or go to Chilis and drink Beer!
-
oooooooo who was playing iron hands??? i LOVE those guys, kudos my friend!
-
oooooooo who was playing iron hands??? i LOVE those guys, kudos my friend!
That was Jared. Not sure if you've met him, but he has quite the collection of armies.
-
so it looks like i will be able to make it down to plainville for thursday 40k! Would anyone be up for either a 1000 point game, or a tourney practice game at 500 points? thanks if any one is interested.
-
I'll be around and wouldn't mind either 500 or 1000.
-
awesome! which one would you prefer? also, would this be against your new spess muhrines, or your daemons?
-
I just realized i had the 666th post on this thread O.o
-
I haven't had nearly the time this week I'd like to work on the Space Marines, so it'd have to be Daemons, who can give Tau a good run for their money.
-
cool, ill be there with 1000 and 500 point army lists.
-

DEATH TO THE INFIDELS! (and by infidels i mean Ben's Daemons)
-
hey hey blood thirster, you wanna join the greater good :D
-
I see, no one will be happy until you have my Space Marines to kick around. Just don't get comfortable once my Sharks start swimming. Fateweaver will always be lurking, waiting, scheming. "Boon" goes the dynamite!
Emory, there's a small chance I may have to bail on the shorter games. Simon may need practice for Battle for Salvation this weekend. He may not have time for a game, either. What we know is that my Daemons hit on his Descent of Angels' weaknesses badly, and that theory talk wasn't enough to stave off defeat in one of the NOVA games he played against Daemons.
-
totally understandable, and may i add, SIMON!!!!! ONE OF THESE DAYS!! (while waving fist angrily in the air >:() but yeah, thats totally fine, its thursday, and this week there is no league, so i doubt i will have any problems finding a game if you are unavailable. If any one is interested, lemme know.
-
Or, in a stunning twist, you could play my Daemons against Simon. Dun dun dun!
-
It was a different night at the game store. For 40k games, there were only two.
Grey Knights vs Tyranids
Space Wolves vs Tau
Xenos won both games, kicking power armor to the curb.
Lots of great hobby conversation around the store tonight though. Tournament scenes, painting, conversions, and I pitched the 500 tournament to anyone who would listen (for the two people who didn't know).
-
NOOOOOO, i am tired of close combat. But yeah, i got a 1000 point game against space wolves, lots of fun!
-
Ben
I will be at the 40k Tourney. Guard.
-
Ben
I will be at the 40k Tourney. Guard.
If you register (by calling the store or e-mailing Chase) when registration opens October 10th, high noon. {Edit: Date fixed!}
I feel better about the "first come, first serve" philosophy if we tell people when to be present. I'm hoping everyone who has expressed interest to this point will get in.
And you've made instant friends, bringing 500 points of Guard. I just recently picked up an IG codex and it's just so crazy cheap! I anticipate Guard doing really, really well.
-
Yeah. I hope so. I plan on making it into the tourney, as we have discussed my love of skirmish sized games in the past. Who else wanted 500pts of Guard? I'm still tweaking out the list, deciding on what armor to bring: Hydra or Vendetta.....Are you going to try to get in?
-
Ben means October 10th. :)
(I had to double check to make sure I hadn't been telling people the wrong time)
-
Whoops. I was telling people the wrong date for registration then. I'll go back and fix the post above.
I must have transposed the 12 noon into the date, and for some reason it's stuck. My god, at least the tournament is still November 5th, right?! :o
Are you going to try to get in?
This is one of the things we talked about this at the store tonight. Either way, I'll be there all day. However, I'm undecided about playing, because I want to avoid any conflict of interest, be it real or perceived. Call me paranoid, but I'm also completely willing to put the event ahead of myself. And to that, I know I'll have a blast watching all the crazy games all day. I'm good either way.

It didn't look like Outflanking was treating you too well either. But those are tricks generally played but once, and next time you'll be Neil Patrick Harris. "It's afraid!"
-
what happened? why was the store so empty?
-
what happened? why was the store so empty?
It happens from time to time, though the store wasn't really empty. About ten people playing Magic, four people playing 40k, twice as many talking about 40k. Record low we've seen on a Thursday was 4 people period, and that was actually one of the more fun nights I remember. I think the lower attendance is a combination of the school year and a strange drought of BG 40k events, so it's not wholly unexpected on my end. Ard Boyz took up two months worth of commitment and October filled up quick. We just have to lure people in with 500 point practice games!
-
I couldn't make it cause of my Aunt being a bitch. Wants me to pay rent to my Mom and Clean my room. You get one or the other bitch make up your mind.
-
The 500 Points of Victory tournament is coming up (yeah, that's what I'm calling it :) ), so who would like to practice this Thursday?
-
Hm, I think it's time to bring out the nids and practice some 500 points of bugs!
-
The event is filling up quite nicely. We still have a bunch of spots left, but don't hesitate. There might not be any left by this time tomorrow.
If you're planning to play, email me NOW.
ChaseLaq@gmail.com
-
Ill be up for some 500 point Practice this thursday shouldn't have any issues making it either.
-
On duty at the station tomorrow, no 40k for me this Thursday
-
MY HEAD IS ON FIRE YOU NEED TO PUT IT OUT ON THURSDAY AT BG-P
-
MY HEAD IS ON FIRE YOU NEED TO PUT IT OUT ON THURSDAY AT BG-P
meh, hair regrows
now if your 40k collection was on fire... THATS expensive to replace
-
I plan on being t battleground this week and maybe get some 500 point games in. Kinda wavering between 2 lists, more competitive or try for Best Painted with a less competitive list.
-
I will be there looking for either 1500 point games or 500 point games.
-
ummmmmm, what happened to thursday 40K? it like died out, there are more people playing magic than 40k, what is this heresy!?!?! come on guys, lets get this baby rolling again!
-
i don't even go to bg-p and i know the answer.
-
well dont tell me or anything, that would just be, you know, helpful...
just kidding, but seriously, whats up? im really in the dark here.
-
battle for salvation
new magic set with a theme for the casual crowd (Ben LOVES the zombies) that reminds me i have a card for Ben
fire men having to work
-
It's not summer-busy, but talk of Thursday 40k demise are very premature. This week was better than last, which is all I would like.
I played two games tonight with my Daemons.
500 points vs Space Marines
2000 points vs Space Marines
Tabled the first, got tabled the second. I'll post my 500 list in that thread. Good games both for very different reasons.
There were a couple Tau vs Tau games, Tyranids vs Space Marines, Tau vs Blood Angels. We had I think two first-time Thursday players.
People used the tournament scenarios and I was able to answer any questions that came up quickly. I'm happy with the evening, but then that doesn't take much.
-
battle for salvation
new magic set with a theme for the casual crowd (Ben LOVES the zombies) that reminds me i have a card for Ben
I like to play Magic after 40k, short games, great way to decompress (though my abilities to navigate rules and order-of-operations suffer greatly post-warhams). I don't begrudge anyone who plays Magic, in part because I like it and in larger part because they keep the store open. And I get free cards from Ed. Sweet!
-
You should play EDH,
and the card i'll be droping it off well tonight cause i guess its friday and i kinda want to play fmn.
AND i have broken screams you can have cause i dont think i could sell them if you want them.
-
Thursday 40k isnt really Dying out as much as taking a small leave of break. Ed is right Battle for Salvation happened last weekend as well as the Big Anniversary Celebration. I also believe were going to see more people show up with Lists Painted for the 500 point tournament as they are finishing them up right now. <---- Procrastinating on the 11 models he has to paint :P.
-
I know Simon was a casualty of Battle for Salvation. He and his DOA Sisters won his bracket, at the price of health and well-being.
If you're not putting your body on the line for Warhammer, you're doing it wrong.
Chris' wife is expecting within the next couple weeks as well, so I don't expect to see him around too much until likely the end of winter.
-
I wish I could go! I'm still collecting my army though. Sadly, places don't hire fourteen year olds who are more willing and hard working than older employees! So, I make bleak amounts of money assisting my grandmother at her barbershop, and can't buy my army all at once. :-[ I'll be back soon enough though, expect me around the colder months...
-
I wish I could go! I'm still collecting my army though.
I can believe there will be another 500 point tournament. Maybe I'll just throw something together for some Thursday night. An 8-man 3-round tournament, done in under three hours. Henry, by then you get Mephiston and two small squads, there's your 500, easy peasy!
Anyone else think it's funny Henry has no hair and works in a barbershop?
-
Guys, what a nice birthday present. ;D

congrats ben! also, is anyone going to be there on thursday for some practice 500 point games?
-
I'll be there, of course. I kind of like my Bloodthirster/Horror list, though it really performed last week well above its station.
-
Whats in that list ben? A thirster, some horrors, and whats the last thing?
-
Whats in that list ben? A thirster, some horrors, and whats the last thing?
It was just a Bloodthirster with all upgrades (300) and two squads of Horrors, one with the Changeling (95 & 100). I just like running Bloodthirsters at any point level, though I know I'd get stomped into the ground at the tournament. 4 bad rolls and 300 points is gone!
-
I will be there Thursday with 2k of Grey Knights as per usual, but i'll try to put together some kind of semi-competitive 500 list if guys need practice for the upcoming tournie
-
Drew has been coming with 2000 points of Deathwing and/or Space Marines, both of which would make for a good matchup for Jason's GKs. I don't know if Drew is coming this week, but I thought he mentioned he'd try to make it. Don't make the same mistake I did last week against Drew and forget to field 300 points worth of models!
-
If any one is interested in playing a 1500 point game next week, id love to try a nice bigger game with the tau, but again, if i can't find a taker, ill also be open to some practice 500 point games. see y'all thursday.

Wes, what time do you think you will be in at? also, do you mind a proxy or two xD im trying, but GW seems to have an issue with selling me stuff...

I get there at 6:55-7:00 not counting the fact I must eat. sure, Proxies are fine, seeing I need to use one for my second Lord.
-
Showing with the Deathwing Army tonight and am game for 1500-2000 points. Hoping for a good turn out and plenty of opponents!
-
Looks like we're going to have an above-average turnout this evening. If you can go only one Thursday night this week, make it this one!
Yes, I know what I said. Stop thinking and start packing your army.
-
drive me i have candy. think about that!
-
We are likely to have some special visitors tonight from the Evil Dice 40k club out of the Hobby Bunker in Malden MA. The head of the club, his girlfriend, and another friend may be stopping in to check out the scene. I am told they plan to paint.
Seeing as how I will not be there, please welcome them on our behalf.
If things ago according to plan we will be working with them shortly after the new year to create some sort of joint event. We plan to host their club in a 40k singles tournament in the forseeable future.

Why does this translate to give the new people "Happy Karate Day!" to me?

Why does this translate to give the new people "Happy Karate Day!" to me?
Oh, I wanted to make the joke, but didn't want Chase to worry.
Rob from Evil Dice and his girlfriend came down, checked things out, did some painting. They couldn't have picked a better night.
There were a whole bunch of 500 point games, too many for me to keep track of. Lots of Tau in the house, three different players.
For bigger games, I played 1000 point game, David's first with his Tau and he edged me out for the win.
Bill's Orks and Jason's Grey Knights, yo dawg I heard you like dakka, so I put some dakka in your dakka dakka.
John's Tau vs Chris' Deathwing. Either way Deathwing lives up to their name; tonight it was in the negative way.
Really, really good night out. Not enough time to be social with everyone and play 40k. Maybe we should hold a cotillion!
-
That might not be a bad idea, actually.
Hmm...
A less-than-semiformal night of soda, cheetos, movies, and other geek related stuff... but NO gaming.
I like it.
-
I just wanna throw out props to ted the fire warrior, sniped the night bringer at max range and took his last wound! truly epic game. Wes, that was a tonne of fun, literally, a game of mistakes and the deceiver making a different unit each turn run away >=( grumble, morale, stupid tau, LD7, tyranids were cooler than you guys
-
Good fun last night and a great showing for Thursday 40k

Yeah sure Ted killed him after all your broadsides and missile launchers softened him up. (and still succeeded in missing 90% of the shots they fired) Anyhow, your time is running out, 16 more days *Evil Chuckle*
-
come at me bro, i heard a rumor that the new tau dex has RENDING MARKER LIGHTS, so yeah there.
-
Spreading rumors is dangerous business! Have you guys never seen an after-school special? You're going to hurt your current codex's self-esteem and then it'll take pills and it'll be awesome-on-drugs for like a week, but then it's going to crash hard and be worse the Sisters WD codex. Truly, a fate worse than death. :'(
Have you hugged your codex today?
-
As long as the codex is awesome-on-drugs on tournament day I'm totally fine with all my stats going down to 1 afterward.
-
500 Point Tournament lists are due November 1st, meaning this Thursday is your last Thursday 40k to practice with your armies and adjust your lists. We've had a steady stream of practice games with lots of good feedback on the scenarios, but there's always room for second-guessing and fine-tuning.
If you want a bigger (that is, "normal") game, you should probably post here.
-
Ben, do you think you will change your list? or is it going to stay the ridiculous "OH look at me, im BEN and im going to bring fate weaver at 500 points" list?
And to everyone else regarding 500 points, just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
-
I haven't run the same list twice, so I don't know where I'll end up. Chaos!
There are people who will max out their 500 lists. I recently had a conversation about blocking board edges in a tournament, and the courtesy (if any) surrounding that. Some people flat-out won't do it, others will at least warn the opponent and still others will take a win any which way they can. With 32 people at the 500 tournament, I know we'll get a bit of each column. I'm hoping the brackets will ensure players end up with like players and everyone goes home satisfied.
-
I'll be there Thursday with 2k Grey Knights as usual, i've also got a 500 list if people need practice before the tournie
-
i wont be there this thursday (heading up to Halifax for a college visit!) but next thursday i will be looking for either 500 points or 1500 points.
-
I think it's going to be a quiet evening this Thursday. I may have time to squeeze in a 500 point game, I know I have to peace out early.
I'll still be there at the beginning for the random people who show up and are looking for a match.
-
Steel forge, i found one of those sensor spines you are looking for, the one that looks like wings. I am going to be in next thursday. Also, i have officially made tau heavy weapons guy. hes kind of a bad ass, tau miguel, eat your heart out.
-
Very cold rain/snow may fall tonight, so everyone take some extra caution on the roads tonight.
I'm your Thursday 40k weatherman, reporting live from my computer.
-
Im new to the thursday 40K. I know everyones practicing 500pt lists and I have a couple to try.
Would anyone like to play a 1500pt game?
-
A healthy turnout this evening, despite the inclement weather.
Orks vs Deathwing
Dark Angels vs Necrons
Tau vs Eldar
Tyranids vs Grey Knights
Spent the evening teaching and those I taught also got a lesson from the regulars in how to constantly bust my chops.
Also, three Bens in the store is too many. "Ben!" We're gonna need nicknames.
-

how about...
new ben, old ben, and you get the choice between Weapon Ben or Ben-verine
-
Ben, it's simple, just carry around the model you had at the Zombie Crawl and have everyone call you Candy.
That'd do it.
-
Also, three Bens in the store is too many. "Ben!" We're gonna need nicknames.
Would you prefer "Hey DB?" or "That Guy Over there!" Was glad to see you running through a game for the same folks I demoed black reach for at the anniversary event. We're getting a bunch of new blood in there lately, very exciting to see new faces on Thursday nights!
-
new ben, old ben, and you get the choice between Weapon Ben or Ben-verine
Well, there's the Ben who's been around the store, but is newer to 40k. And there's the Ben who showed up last week, but has clearly played before. So "new" and "old" is only going make it confusing. And, I hate to break the news suddenly, but my chops won't be around forever.
Chris, that's a very tough choice, but of those two I would prefer "That guy over there."
-
And, I hate to break the news suddenly, but my chops won't be around forever.
Moving somewhere?

Nothing like that! It's just that I am likely to murder the chops for vanity's sake.

very well Ben, for simplicity's sake they shall now be known by their armys, i.e. "Tau Ben" or "Eldar Ben", you however shall be known as "Thursday Ben" for obvious reasons
-

Yeah, that could work.
If Thursday Ben gets shortened to TB, everyone will think I have the consumption. So let's not do that. :)
-
Wait you dont?
-
I do not have tuberculosis, nor any other infectious disease. Except Warhammer, which seems to be rather catchy.
See what I did there?
-
On duty at the station so no Thursday 40k for me, good luck to everyone and their last minute 500pt games before the tournie.
Looking forward to Saturday and the shiny shiny Cylons... i mean Necrons...
-
I hope to get some practice games in tomorrow evening, now that I finally settled on a list. Who dares face down the Lord of Change?
-
Want to face off against the Doom and his friendly gaunt friends?
-
no, the doom is a bad person. BAD person, well not really a person, and i should be there with my tau all comer's list, i think i can deal with you doom... i hope, cuz if i cant, my LD SUCKS, and i will die in droves.
-
Nids, Tau, whatever. I'll take on anyone (who shows up) anywhere (Plainville) any time (tomorrow evening).
-
but in all seriousness i think the doom is going to lose a lot of its potency without a pod. he has to basically close to 12 inch range to do anything, because firing the cataclysm at only 4 wounds is risky, and on average, the blast is only going to be S2, frightening, grots MAYBE. so that basically means people need to destroy 2 zoanthropes before they make it into assault. While he will still probably be awesome against assault armies, i can't see shooting armies having that much of a problem.
-
I would have to agree with Emory. Part of Doom's success I've seen comes from his ability to surprise the enemy and select his targets from the Spore. Drop in and ramp up. Instead moving him across the battlefield, gives the enemy an excellent chance to react appropriately.
-
yeah, the doom was typically a tactical nuclear DOOM, it popped out, sucked up everyone's souls, then dropped the cataclysm. Next turn it typically died, but it made its points back. Now though, with everyone meching up, he is eve losing his potency in that regard.
-
I can't wait to see what happens on Saturday.
Come down to Thursday 40k! and practice, yo.
-
Oh I agree on the Doom completely, but it was a trade off for either have the anti-vehicle from the hive guard or the pod for the doom. I figure a large blast or two might help, and his advancing from with the army won't hurt as much when there aren't as many guns heading his way.
-
I'll probably show up to get in some last minute practice before saturday. Salamanders don't have many colors to paint :p.
-
Did you use my suggestion about yellow polka-dots? Spotted Salamanders, for the Emprah!
-
No.
-
Well, you should have.
-
Thursday Thursday Thursday! I should be there tonight looking for either a real game 2000 Deathwing, or barring that I'll unleash my 500 point Mephiston List for those of you preparing for Saturday.
-

-
The night started slow, with only Daemons vs Tau and Tau vs Orks, both practice games. But around 7, we saw...
Blood Angels vs Deathwing (Mechanicon practice)
Daemons vs Space Marines, twice
Tau vs Tau
And I feel like Emory played a second game that I can't recall at the moment...
Pretty solid night. Lots of discussion about the tournament and strategies.
Funny thing. I realized I designed a tournament in which I am a weak contender in the last bracket. I am almost guaranteed losses in the first two matches, and the third and fourth scenarios are uphill battles. Funny enough, it's the last scenario where I feel strong, just in time to play myself out of the Smokin' Boots award. So, I really haven't done myself any favors. I look forward to seeing everyone Saturday, should be a blast!
-
Next Thursday Theron and I will be looking for a practice game for the doubles tournament if anyone is interested.
-
Yup, I expected Doubles fever to start hitting Thursday 40k immediately after this weekend. Less than a month to the Doubles tournament on December 3rd.
For those who haven't looked over the tournament rules yet, they're posted here:
http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=3775.0
Basically, you and your partner can spend up to 1250 points each to build half of a list, you and your partner able to select up to 1 selection per Force Organization Chart slot. There's a third "floating" choice that either you *or* your partner can share (but not both). That's the basic idea.
I'll make sure the scenarios are printed out. People love the Adepticon scenarios for their complexity, but it usually takes me a half-hour to decipher each one. These latest missions are the most complicated I've seen yet.
-
So Wes threw down the challenge today.
This Thursday, my lowly Daemons vs the new and greatly improved Wescron Necrons. It's on!
This will be Wes after the match. :'(
This will be me. ;D "Karate Day, boo yeah!"
-
Its really quite a pity deamons have no metal bawkes to hide in, Ben, you might as well forfeit now,
-
All I seem to remember is my Bloodthirsters smashing to bits those paper pinatas you call Monoliths. Pick a points limit already so I know how many of my Bloodcrushers will become Robotcrushers.
-
I remember that you just kept peeling their armor off like the peel from a banana :O.
-
Wes, I have to back out of our match, for now. I forgot I have a prior commitment this Thursday to try out the new edition of the Warhammer Fantasy RPG. I got caught up in the fauxchismo of competitive plastic space mans that I lost all sense of time.
There shouldn't be a single person though who doesn't want to play against the new Necron codex. It looks crazy fun.
-
Hey wes ill pick up the gauntlet for ben. If you would like to play against my deathwing this thurs. Ill be there @ 7 on thurs let me know the points . Im game for up to 2500pts. That is, if you're not afraid of a few terminators.
Nick.
Im the only guy that played DA in the 500pt turni.

You will have to excuse some proxies, Does 1850 points sound good?
Tsk Tsk Ben, your lords of time don't seem to be helping you all that much. ( Probably for their benefit so they didn't die a gruesome death )
On a side note: I can't wait to use the Staff of the Destroyer/death ray on an ork mob or a 20 man space marine squad.
-
I'll be there Thursday with 2k-2.5k of Grey Knights as usual.
Gonna take another week or 2 before i get all these Necrons assembled, not to mention put into some kind of working list
-
On a side note: I can't wait to use the Staff of the Destroyer/death ray on an ork mob or a 20 man space marine squad.
So at max a 12" straight line at str 6 ap 1 shot that may hit up to 3-4 guys. Not bad but Easily Avoidable for The Mighty Power of Space Marines.
P.S. Necrons Still Stupid
-
1850 sounds good. I dont mind proxies. see you there
-
I am going the be there thursday with tau looking for a 1500 point game. Any takers?

[/quote
It seems you have read the rule incorrectly, if a unit is under the line, it takes hits equal to the number of models in the unit.
-
And the death ray is Str 10, Ap 1.
-
Staff of the Destroyer not Death Ray is what Im talking about Death Ray and Im pretty sure its impossible to take a 20 man Space Marine Squad. I haven't misread anything I know Death Ray is ridiculous in a quick read and I know most likely its going to be in the errata with a clarification on it considering I can think of 2 things wrong with the wording right now that makes me think it doesn't work correctly. You first select a point 12" great awesome then select another point 3d6" within that 12". It sounds like that weapon is going no further than 12" because you have to stay inside that 12" mark this needs to be clarified it could be that they mean 12" and the 3d6" anywhere from that point but why would they use the word within and not something like select a spot 12" roll and select a second point 3d6" from the nominated spots. You still need to roll to wound and its not going to include models inside a vehicle since the vehicle isn't part of that unit. It also effects your own units not just your enemies so smart enemy placement can make it much less effective.
-
sigh, bye bye battle suits
-
the staff of the destroyer does the same thing as a death ray (for use at point blank of course)
-
The Stats are different for the Staff of Destroyer and its actually worded quite differently on it.
When firing the Staff of the Destroyer, nominate a direction. Then Roll 2d6 and extend a straight line from Imotekh's Base in the chosen direction, a distance equal to the total rolled. Any Unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line.
Thats the exact wording for Staff of the Destroyer and that is worded so you only take the amount of hits to the amount of models the line touches. Death ray is worded about the same way with such a different confusion mechanic on the 12" then a line deal that a quick read makes it sound so much better than it actually is.
Edit: I understand why they Used Within on the Death Ray its so you don't overextend and touch your own troops but i still stand by this argument.
-
I'll be there Thursday with 2k-2.5k of Grey Knights as usual.

You certainly have plenty of new toys to play with! I look forward to hearing what you think of them.
-
Any Unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line.
Okay, per GW standard, this is written very poorly. The following is what I believe they mean.
A unit under this line suffers a number of hits equal to the number of the unit's models directly under this line. Every unit, friendly and enemy, under the line is affected and resolved separately.
I really do not believe the intention is to hit 1 model of a 20-man unit and have that unit to take 20 hits. That would be broken.

Only way it makes sense to me is the way its written, every model in the unit means a hit. Otherwise you have the problem of determine what is under the line. How wide is the line? A tape measure? A string? A fishing line? The width wpuld absolutely change how man models are hit. The way gw has it written means there is no argument about how to draw the line and what to use to measure it
-

Typically, a line is a line, the two-dimensional "shape" that exists between two infinitesimally small points. Practically, I'd say it's measured out using thinnest means available. Most people don't carry string, so a tape measure usually suffices.
Otherwise, I choose my line to be as wide as the room. :D
-
Ya the Death ray Is pretty good as is considering it can still possibly take out a whole squad in one shot with good placement and good dice rolls. But if the slightest touch would make people aiming it through 3 squads and wipe out a whole army in one attack. I don't think Doom Scythes going to do that well considering Even with Quantum shielding I think they will be easy to take out cause then they will be Armor 11 all around at 175 points after one Pen. At most I see it making it 1 or 2 turns before being shot down in a regular game.
Jaws of the World Wolf a space Wolves Psychic attack already uses the line mechanic and the way I seen it done is you have the point and run the tape measure alongside the point to point and use the edge of the tape measure to determine the hit if you can't see any of the base of the model its not on the line therefore its not a hit.
And I agree how Ben States it its a badly worded way in the codex but he puts it into much clearer terms that a Strength 10 AP 1 instant hit, 2+ wound, Instant kill on a majority of units having the ability to hit 2 squads with the number of models in their squad. Ya No its not that way despite Matt Ward.
-
I tend to agree, imagine if it worked the way of 1 hit = 30 dead orks, then people would just take 3, imhotek (for his seize rule) and wipe the majority of the enemy army off the table. It wouldn't even really be a game any more. Each one could potentially destroy like 250-500 points each. also, where in the fluff does it describe 1 hit killing a tonne of stuff not in its path?

Hate to break out the I'm a math teacher thing, but a line actually has no width. A line is a one dimensional object, it only has length. This is all assuming we are using Euclidean geometry.
I do have one question too, what exactly is the standard procedure on determining a random model?

I was wondering that myself, random is used a lot for abilities in this book
-
And to get even more nit-picky, it isn't even a line in the first place because it ends. A line goes on forever, a line segment has a given length.
-

It's the practical application of drawing a line. For example, this is something we can recognize as a line:
___________________
But we can also recognize a thicker line too, like the line made in the dark space here.
______________________________________
______________________________________
Here's the pro tip. Don't be *that* guy.
And yes, Imothek's power should clearly read "line segment". :P
I do have one question too, what exactly is the standard procedure on determining a random model?
No standard procedure, so it's just whatever you and your opponent decide. Most of the time, a unit is small enough to roll a assign models spots on a d6 and roll. If no other dice are on hand (like a d20), then you could break bigger units up into groups of six, roll to see which group is hit while rolling another die to see which model is hit.
If you know this is something that will come up almost every game, it's good to bring appropriate dice for the occasion.
-
Oh certainly, for practical application a piece of string or a tape measure works fine. I just die a little inside when mathematics terms are butchered, WHAT DID THE LINE EVER DO TO YOU! :P
-

I assume thats most likely what they meant, but its not what they wrote.
.....A number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line.
"under the line in the unit" would make sense sense for what you are saying
"in the unit that are under the line" would as well
but strictly to what they wrote "...models in the unit under the line" there is nothing to say only models that are under the line are hit.
I intend to enjoy my week of being completly op.
Fine, If you guys insist. :(
-
Wes your not reading the full sentence just that part at the end "Number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line." Breaking it down "Number of hits" Means that you don't need to roll to hit. "Equal to the Number of models in the unit under the line." Is a British way of saying In American "Equal to the Number of models under the line in each unit.".

still looking for a 1500 point game, i have no school friday so i will prolly be there early and leave late if anyone is interested.
-
Just a heads up. We are closed on Thursday, the 24th of Novemeber, for Thanksgiving. The Wednesday before I would love to see the Thursday 40k guys come blow each other up for TANKSgiving as a replacement.
-
Emory If I make it up There Ill take you on for that 1500 Point game.

Essentially this all comes down to: Does "under the line" modify the number of models or the unit. The way it is written, it modifies the unit, not the number of models.
-
I think Common sense has to come into play with the reiteration of it would be broken if we take it in the context of inflicting 10 hits on a 10 model unit for it touching 1 model in the unit with a strength 10 AP 1 weapon. Its bad Wording which GW is notorious for. Any Unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line.
"equal to the number of models in the unit under the line." is so ambiguous that if you look at that why does it have to mention it twice "Any Unit (Friendly or Enemy), Under this line" they already mentioned the unit and I dont think they are stupid enough unless Matt Ward is paid by the word to not just say "Any Unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit" that therefore has to make you think another mechanic is in play which is that the number of models the line touches is the number of hits the squad takes. Your not hitting models your hitting the unit but you can't allocate wounds to a specific model which is what they are saying this squad takes 2 hits but not on those models they can be allocated normally. If it hit specific models people would target special weapons instead of the most of the unit they could.
In basic words GW messed up because the people writing it thought it was obvious cause they already knew how it worked before putting it on paper.
-
Here's the one thing that matters, now that we're starting to retread arguments without going any further forward. How would the Battleground judge(s) rule on this?
However the matter gets ruled in a competitive tournament is the rule I would expect the community to follow, which goes for this and every other rule.
So, off to e-mailing Sam, and we'll get his first impression.
It is important to work these things out, as there's a doubles tournament in less than a month and I expect the new Necron codex to be legal by then.
But we should probably do that in another thread too. :D

Next Topic 505 point Games how do they work.
-
Nope! Next topic is still the topic before this Necron business flared up. What are you bringing this Thursday?
Nick's Dark Angels vs Wes' Necrons (1850)
Jason will have up to 2500 points of Grey Knights, looking for a game.
Emory will have 1500 points of Tau.
-
Ill probably show up with 1500 points to face Emory and a pair of Gloves for ripping his arms out of his sockets for not letting me win.
-
Just to clarify...
I didn't mean to start a trend of "I'm not having this discussion" when it comes to pretty much anything. I mentioned not wanting to discuss whether people thought pairing stuff a certain way would compromise the integrity of an event because this is not the place for it. Ultimately it's something I have to decide on (and have) and past experience has taught me it's definitely NOT a discussion you want to open up to the public for at least two very solid reasons.
As far as this line thing goes... as unfortunate as it is, *I* think it's very clear. If Pat's quote is accurate, I'm not even sure there's much room to argue intent.
In my opinion, it's crystal clear.
Is a unit under the line?
If yes, how many models are in the unit?
That unit takes that many hits.
"...takes a number of hits equal to the number of models under the line in each unit."
Is very, very different than:
"...takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line."
I would imagine this is absurdly powerful and will likely be FAQ'd to fix that. The RAW can sometimes be really ridiculous and dictate something that is obviously not the intent. Here, I'm not so sure the intent isn't exactly what's written. Again, it seems really clear to me. If the author meant something else, he did a damn good job fooling me.
And yeah, the new Necron book will DEFINITELY be legal for the doubles. The only reason it wasn't legal for the 500 point event was because we didn't get our preview book. (Friggin GW....)
-
I wouldn't be so sure, i cant deal with fast troops, bikes are those fast troops.
-
Ya Emory but I dont have enough bikes to fill out a whole 1500 point list yet don't expect not to see them just not in a swarm of 30 yet :P.
-
Ya Emory but I dont have enough bikes to fill out a whole 1500 point list yet don't expect not to see them just not in a swarm of 30 yet :P.
If you don't have enough bikes, you should be filling the rest of your list with ML Dev squads. Proxy if you must. At least until you figure out what you should have in the list. (Don't bring the Land Raider vs Tau!)
-
I have a Good Idea what Im going to do and ya No land Raider for Emory to nom on the bikes are making a Special Appearance Not as Troops. It will be a fun game and we will see how it goes for Emory to face The Fury of the Salamanders.
-
Yeah, dont worry pat, my tau are still in the beta testing phase of life, and im still figuring them out, though i am loving deep striking 3 melta plasma suits with rerollable scatter die and blowing stuff the hell up (i did that once to a very well hidden leman russ executioner, it was hilarious!
-
So I've had this eldar army for about 3 months and i havn't yet played it. Does anyone want to play?
I think i have up to 1850 points maybe more.
-
Ed, im gonna be there late, and depending on when pat and i finish id love to get in a game against someone new.
-
Ok ill head there around 8pm, If that is ok with you.
-
that should be perfect! technologically advanced skimmer tank Xenos Vs technologically advanced skimmer tank Xenos. SWEET!'
-
I'm going to try to be there tomorrow with the new Necron codex. I haven't built any of the new models so I'll just be using what I have already, and possibly an unpainted Trazyn. I hope you all don't mind my proxy pariahs as praetorians. After all they both begin with "P".
-
Ron, I really think you should play against Jason. He's got a Grey Knight army ready to rock, but has been stocking up on Necrons as well. I think two heads talking about the new codex and playing it will be very fruitful.
-
I'm looking ahead toward December. Feedback on this idea (in the other thread) would be appreciated, since all y'all would be the beneficiaries.

Are pariahs even in the new book?
-
Nope, they got morphed into Preatorians/Lichguard
-
out of curiosity, what do you see in the triarchs? to me they seem like way too many points for something that only has 1 attack at WS4. IM not saying they are terrible, but what is your plan for them?

English major time!
Here's the statement we're dealing with: "Any Unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line."
Sadly, the phrase "under the line" is ambiguous as to what noun it modifies; there's some words left out. Compare:
Any Unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit that are under the line.
or
Any Unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit that is under the line.
Without those clarifying words, the sentence means neither and both equally; we don't know if "under the line" refers to the unit or the models. However, there are two points to consider:
1. The sentence already specifies that the unit is under the line (after "friendly or enemy"), so to state it again at the end would be redundant. That's a reasonable indicator that "under the line" refers to the models.
2. It's supremely unlikely that GW intends for Necrons to be tossing around the equivalent of apocalypse templates.
As such, if this comes up at the Doubles event, expect me to rule that the number of models under the line determines the number of hits. So, don't spam Death Rays and expect to just flat-out win in turn one.

I believe they are jump infantry, with ap2 weapons (even if the guns onlyhave a 6" range)

In otherwords anti terminator units for about the price of a terminator.

I see what you are saying. Maybe, they just seem awful fragile at 40 points a bop. And Sam Im bringing Kill BIll in. Can we PLEASE watch it?
-
<3 sam
-
Won't be there tonight, long day at work, got home late...bleh
-
Sorry i bailed around 7, a weeks worth of EMT refresher caught up with me and didn't want to be getting out of there at 10 or later.
/sleeeeeep
-
Sorry Emory about not showing up the rain caused it to be slammed at work so they had to keep me late just got out now.
-
So Thursday 40k this week got off to a really slow start. There was a Black Reach demonstration, and a match up made of Space Wolves vs Tau. And as I sat down for my time in Fantasy (RPG) Land, looked like it'd be a quiet night.
Around 7:30, the doors burst opens and lots more people showed up. Later than usual by a bunch but yay 40k.
Necrons vs Dark Angels
Eldar vs Tau
Orks vs Tau
Chaos Space Marines vs Tyranids
Probably another game I'm missing, but a solid turnout.
Next week, I have no excuses, no way out. Daemons vs Necrons. Wes needs to pick a point value so he knows how many points he's taking off the table.

You just keep talkin'
-
I am going with Ben on this one if he brings himself some heavy hitters hes pretty much all set against you.
In other news Necrons are still Stupid.
-
You just keep talkin'
You type typing words. Type numbers!
-
I generated a random number between 1000 and 2000 and i got 1869. That should be the point value.
-
Ooo, I like it. What do you say, Wes? One-thousand eight-hundred sixty-nine points...
I already know what you're going to say. "What? That's a completely random, illogical number." Yup.
-
Chaotic even?
-
Chaotic even?
Those are your words, not mine.
;)
-
"What? That's a completely random, illogical number." Yup.
Now to think about how to most efficiently kill monstrous creatures by forcing a large number of wounds on them.... oh wait, everything in my codex does that.
-
THE GLOVE HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN.
and on that note, simon leen, for the third time in a row, i am calling you out! BECAUSE UNLIKE THE LAST TIMES, NOW ITS DIFFERENT (I hope)!!!!
but in all seriousness, would you be down for 1500 points next thursday? i know you prefer 1850 (sorry, i only have 1500) and i totally get it if you would rather find a bigger game, but if you would be so inclined, id love to take a swing at your blood angels with some tau.
-
He won't be able to make it he has to save some orphans in Que Wan Bo.
-
i dont know how to take that, so im assuming that for his own reasons, he will not be there next week, so then, im once again looking for a game, any takers?
-
About that Death Ray thing....
Talked to GW today. It's supposed to say something to the effect of, "takes a number of hits equal to the number of models under the line."

The staff or the death ray?
-
Death Ray.
Does the staff work differently?

Death Ray.
Does the staff work differently?
I think the wording is ever so slightly different
-
Its the same wording concerning the number of hits its just how you aim to hit which is different.
-
here's another question to spark some
yelling debate, does the Lychguard Dispersion Shield reflect back that Space Wolf Jaws line thing? I believe that it is a shooting attack.
-
I don't think so. JoTWW is a In check or removed from play. You don't get any inv save so not sure that would work.
-
Is anyone going to be there on thursday who would be looking for a 1500 point game? i know i am obnoxious about trying to set them up before hand, but it is a bit of an odyssey for me to get there, so i like to make the time count.
-
I don't think so. JoTWW is a In check or removed from play. You don't get any inv save so not sure that would work.
Shouldn't be any debate at all over dispersion shield. The attack must inflict a wound. JotWW, Boon of Mutation/Gift of Chaos and other characteristic tests do not inflict wounds. Ergo, a latin word. :P
-
In Greek, Erg means to do work, that is where the term ergometer comes from, and ergometer, or erg for short is a rowing machine, you know those ones at a Gym?
-
Viva La Thursday!
I'll be there with lots and lots of Grey Knights
Still not close on assembling the Necron army... pesky MW3 seems to be eating up all my free time

-
Oh Wes, don't become Thursday's resident hipster. Jason's been playing 40k for all of, what, three, four months? He hasn't had time to become one of "those" players.
And I haven't seen "those" players around on Thursday, so really I'm not sure what people are so guarded against. Fighting good armies? Those challenges should be welcomed.
-
Is it sad that I'm genuinely thinking about not signing up for the bowling league again so that I can come on Thursday nights? :(
And I couldn't tell if Wes was being anti-Gray Knights, or anti-MW3...
-
whats wrong with power armor? its just another thing for plasma and melta to ignore ;)
-
Is it sad that I'm genuinely thinking about not signing up for the bowling league again so that I can come on Thursday nights? :(
And I couldn't tell if Wes was being anti-Gray Knights, or anti-MW3...
It's not sad, it's awesome.
And like Wes, there are people staunchly against Matt Ward for some reason. He's not good with the fluff side of things, but he'll give you the means to make a powerful army. I'll take that trade, and then make up my own fluff.
-
Is it sad that I'm genuinely thinking about not signing up for the bowling league again so that I can come on Thursday nights? :(
Not sad. Just awesome.
It's very similar in my opinion. Playing a game with people that share a common interest and all that. ;)
-
I think the problem people have with ward is that he keeps making armies TOO powerful what ever that means. Some of his combos and units can seem a bit over the top. Im not giving my personal opinion, but i know that many people do gripe about him and his dexes. And as for wanting a powerful dex, i dont need super power, i want a dex with tools. Look at the aging tau codex, it certainly doesn't have any "super units" and many of its options are a bit pricey, but i love how much of a tool box it is, you can do a lot, and it forces you to really think about how you are going to play. lets compare it to another shooty army, say guard (i know this is not a ward dex, im just using it as an example), i have never seen a guard player use blocking vehicles, typically what i see is a guard army just line up on the back table edge and just plug away at the enemy. Nothing against guard, but to me this is kinda boring, both to play as and against. Tau can't really generate the ridiculous volume of fire guard can, but often when i am watching tau play, i see a lot more clever artistic playing with a lot more strategy then just target priority. Just my thoughts.
-
I agree with Emory about Guard being boring both to play and play against unless someone does something really off the wall. They don't have much to them otherwise.
The 2 times I played against IG were my least favorite games of all time from the aspect of they just shoot at you and so many of them you can't get them all.
As for Matt Ward generally from the 2 Codexes I read he wrote. Grey Knights and Necrons the Fluff and Lore have been completely changed around from what I used to know. Grey Knights were their own chapter and were completely independent but had very close ties to the Inquisition. Now they are part of the Inquisition. Same with Necrons who were ruled by the C'Tan to suddenly rebel against them and become actual emotional robots.
I just don't want Matt Ward writing the new Dark Angel Codex whenever that comes out. I want Cypher back as he was.
-
I like tau for the same reasons, pretty much.

Pat, you've read the Space Marines codex, yes? That's Matt Ward too.
-
No I haven't read it :/. I just use Army Builder and Number Crunch :O.
-
I have good news and bad news.
The good news, today is Thursday!
The bad news is for Wes, whose Necrons will lose tonight. Not even a new codex can save the souls of your plastic space men!
Either that, or I roll crap like usual. See, already setting up to blame the dice. That's advanced strategy. Take notes, new players.

This is how I envision Steve D. when he paints his Ultramarines. :D
-
I was pretty focused on my match, so I don't remember too well what else went down.
Eldar vs Space Wolves, featuring Thursday 40k's first LED lighted models
Tau vs Space Marines
Tau & Tau vs Tyranids & Orks (??), all I know is this had the coolest-looking Tau deployment I've seen, bubble-wrapping with Hammerheads
After two weeks, the throwdown between Daemons and Necrons went down. Spearhead Annihilation. Wes goes for a familiar tactic of castling up. What I didn't expect was Wes to roll as poorly as I did. Long story short, the lesson learned was that Solar Pulse is optional. You know what helps Daemons? The cover of darkness. ("Stormlord, O-VER-RATED!") Daemons made it into assault, and we all know how Necrons handle that. My Keeper of Secrets was the hero, killing a Monolith, 5 Scarab bases, a C'tan Shard and a 10-man Immortal squad before finally succumbing. My Daemons did get the win, but I have to give Wes a rematch. Most of the models that would have helped the Necrons aren't even made yet. I'm posting my thoughts more in the Necron thread.
-
Imothek is quite overated
So are Monoliths,
I'll have to get some annihilation barges.
Also, somewhat relevant awkwardness to be explained later.
-
Its a bummer to see Monoliths get hit so hard :(
-
Its a bummer to see Monoliths get hit so hard :(
I know, 62$ a pop for them to become 12 bolters and an str 8 sp3 template down from being 9 and possibly ap1 if it landed. Without the old living metal moving six inches a turn without better firepower isn't so good.
-
No living metal also makes deep striking (the only way around that abysmal movement) is suicide. Frown. Town.
-
Its a bummer to see Monoliths get hit so hard :(
It's also easy to forget the Portal of Exile. It essentially caused one wound in our game. MEQs are going to fail that 1 out of every 3 times... just like power armor.
-
What a shame. I love that model and it was iconic of the army for a decade. lame.
-
What a shame. I love that model and it was iconic of the army for a decade. lame.
This. I love the old lith because even the stupidest of armies were just helpless. And the book was a decade old.
-
I knew I was forgetting one match from this past Thursday.
Grey Knights vs Tau
At 1500 points, that's not a great match for the Grey Knights. :|
-
Love it. I would have love to have seen Tau stomp GK. It would be like if Rocky 4 was reshot and Creed killed Drago.
-
Love it. I would have love to have seen Tau stomp GK. It would be like if Rocky 3 was reshot and Creed killed Drago.
Tsk tsk tsk at all this Grey Knight hate, but ben was right at the 1500 level my Grey Knights didn't fair very well against the Tau Broadsides
and Drago was Rocky 4, Rocky 3 was the one with Mr. T i think
-
You're right. I realized that right as I hit Submit.
EDIT: For me, its not really GK hate, but old codex love. Seeing one of the oldest codexes beat one of the best new ones makes me pretty happy.
-
Ben, there was also 1500 points of tau on 1500 of salamanders.
Also, phoenix, yeah that game was rough, though to your credit you were a great sport about it, and after the initial purifier rush failed and i started moving in, you did take a huge toll on my forces, and crowe did survive! i think i just had way too much plasma, although your paladins armor saves were on fire! Also getting 30 models under the flamer templates helped a lot ;) Thanks for the great game!
-
Ben, there was also 1500 points of tau on 1500 of salamanders.
I got that one under Tau vs Space Marines... or vice versa. Hell, I can't keep track of all the games, let alone which faction people play. All I know is Pat was playing with a cheesy Matt Ward codex. :P

(face palm) or t-bow, take your pick

it was a good game, i learned that rushing tau and not getting into assault will not end well lol
i'll have to try you again with a re-tweaked GK list or when i get all these Necrons assembled
-
I've fortunately or unfortunately hit the point where I don't feel like spending any more money on Warhammer, Yes its fun but the hundreds of dollars that get put into the game could be put into otherthings.......
-
Wait if your not putting your money into Warhammer. Means your putting it into another activity that needs you to buy something to enjoy yourself. :O WES IS GOING TO START DOING DRUGS!!!
-
well, congrats wes, youve kicked the habit!
-
Well, yeah, I suppose one can't go lower than losing to me. Still, Karate Days will be a little less happy now.
Wes, go out and win the lottery already. The holidays are coming up, too. "Mom, all the guys are gonna have Triarch Stalkers and if I don't have at least two, I'll look foolish."
-
My sister is lazy and constantly throws a load of guff at my parents, so when I do pretty much all the household chores with a cheery attitude, my parents don't mind paying my way for 40k. Yay!
EDIT: That rhymes!
-
Well, yeah, I suppose one can't go lower than losing to me.
In your dreams son.

With the store closed for Thanksgiving, there's no Thursday 40k this week and no plan for a "make-up" day. We're just skipping it.
That said, two things:
1) For this week's 40k fix, Wednesday is the annual TANKSgiving event. Grab a tank, *any* tank, come down and kill other tanks in an epic free-for-all.
2) There will be only ONE Thursday 40k to practice for the Doubles tournament! December 1st is the first and last Thursday to get your team together and get in some practice games. Here's your warning that the Adepticon missions are very complex.
If I don't see you Wednesday, Happy Turkey Day!
-
Yeah! TANKSgiving tomorrow! WOO!
Matt and I set up the table today... We think it looks pretty cool.

Hey guys, I found Abington's terrain!
-
That made me lol.
You're certainly not wrong.
-
oooooo cover, I LIKE. I happen to know mike is bringing a battle wagon with a deffrolla, so hell be happy!
-
Awesome. That's what won last year.

The Doubles Tournament is this Saturday, so this Thursday is the last chance to practice. It kinda also happens to be the first, since we haven't been pairing up too much... It looks to be a competitive field. I know there were a few players getting their game on this past Saturday, so they already have an experience edge over you! Let your fears of inadequacy drive you to practice this Thursday.
In other news, there's a chance I will have 1250 points of Space Marines ready to debut alongside a willing partner this Thursday. Some/most Marine models may be missing arms and I won't fit too snuggly in the Doubles FOC, but whatev. Tomorrow is a day of building and painting, and I'm hitting the project with renewed vigor now that I have the vision righted. You all can fight over the privilege of fighting me. :P
-
So I think I really need to test out the strategy for my list, so who wants to practice a doubles game on thursday?
-
im no longer in the tourney, but as usual i will be there with up to 1500 points of tau. Hopefully some one will be available for 1500, but i wouldn't mind helping anyone practice for saturday.

That sux man. I was hoping for a little revenge for tableing me in the last turni. :)
-
Hmmmmmmmm, not that i tabled more than two people, but i dont know either of those people's names, were you dark angels guy with the awesome combiflamer on your HQ dude who kept chasing my HQ around? Or are you the blood angels edition webster?
-
He's certainly not a Webster :P
And you should throw your tau+someone else at the webster double trouble duo thursday.
-
Bill and I will be there with IG/BA if anyone is looking for a doubles match.
-
Hmmmmmmmm, not that i tabled more than two people, but i dont know either of those people's names, were you dark angels guy with the awesome combiflamer on your HQ dude who kept chasing my HQ around? Or are you the blood angels edition webster?
Im the DA guy that rolled so bad you were tryin to cheat for me. :)
-
wait, when did i cheat during that game!?!?!? And yeah, we need a rematch! ill be there tomorrow with 1250 if you are interested.
-
If anyone is looking for a partner for the doubles tournament this weekend, please visit this thread. (http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=3847.0)
-
So who wants to be a partner to my Space Marines debut?
I have two Tac squads, one Scout squad, one Librarian, one Assault Terminator squad, two Dreadnoughts, two Rhinos and two Razorbacks (which can function as Predators in an FOC pinch).
Somewhere Soko has my Devastator squad, too. Those poor bastards may have to be proxied with armless soldiers wielding the heart of a champion. If I'm short on points, I may have to proxy a Drop Pod as well... I'm looking at you, peanut butter jar.
-
Space Marines With Space Marines vs Space Marines with Space Marines. MORE SPACE MARINES YOU SAY WE NEED MORE SPACE MARINES HERE :O.
-
Ben, you think you got 1500 points? I wouldn't mind proxies.
-
I just realized Pat Mulvey isn't playing in the Doubles. I miss that guy.
-
Ben, you think you got 1500 points? I wouldn't mind proxies.
But the Doubles tournament is 1250 per. ;)
Definitely don't have 1500 yet. Eventually I will, but the models aren't built yet.
-
Ya Chase I been having some issues with work and stuff didn't find/look for a partner based on the fact that I haven't been able to ask for days off cause of unstable schedule of everyone during the holiday season. Saving up money also why I am not showing up recently hopefully in the new year I can get myself some new Pieces like a Ravenwing Battleforce.
Edit: any Clue how the Encounters Season is looking like right now Chase?
-
Cool.
The Encounters season is going well. They all had a pretty fun night tonight. It'll be good to have you around again.
When are you moving closer?
-
At this rate 4 years from now.
-
15,000 thread views and rising. :)
Two doubles matches tonight. This was a night where quantity was by no means an indication of quality. Both matches were something to behold.
BA & IG vs Eldar & Necrons, two lists with amusing gimmicks that kinda canceled each other out. Not the match either team expected, which is perfect tournament practice! I believe the team of Simon and Bill took the victory.
Spehss Mahreens! & Tau vs Grey Knights & Dark Eldar
My first match with the new Spehss Mahreens! (I just can't say/write it properly.) This was a solid match through and through, ended up being a very good match. We played the mission with diagonal deployment, so the action was all over the place. After 7 turns, we were tied in table quarters. Kill Points came down as a secondary, 13-11 in favor of the GK & DE. Boo hiss!
I made a couple mistakes in deployment, most notably with my Dreadnoughts. But overall, I felt good with the Space Marines. It was nice to have armor saves again, and to have dice that behaved. My general plan worked out well, too. I'm not sure what a 1-on-1 match up will produce, but it was a good run tonight.
-
What was the list you ran at 1250 I am kinda interested on what you had done with the dreadnoughts?
-
My list wasn't Doubles FOC legal, but it's what I could do. Turns out I was also 15 points short. In other words, I cheated and still lost. :)
HQ
Librarian, Terminator Armor, Storm Shield
Elite
Assault Terminators x5, 4 TH/SS, 1 Sarge with LCs
Dreadnought, TLLC, ML
Dreadnought, MM, DCCW w/ Storm Bolter, Drop Pod
Troops
Tactical Squad x10, melta, ML, Sarge w/ Power Fist, Rhino w/ Extra Armor
Tactical Squad x10, melta, MM, Sarge w/ Power Fist, Rhino w/ Extra Armor
Scouts x5, Camo Cloaks, ML, Sarge w/ Teleport Homer
My basic plan worked. Having won first turn, I infiltrated the Scouts forward and used Gate of Infinity to drop the Terminators much closer to the front line, next to the Scouts' Teleport Homer. Those Terminators took a beating all game, but were key for me doing as well as I did. They punched through everything, and the Librarian's Null Zone later kept the Dark Eldar in check. Vance brought a Talos Pain Engine, and the Scouts put the final wound on that, as is their job. Rhino cover saves from Smoke Launchers was key, too. Ultimately, one Rhino delivered its payload and one immobilized itself in terrain and couldn't repair itself in time. One Dreadnought locked up Draigo and Pal(adin)s for at least two full game turns.
What I will need going forward is to build a Third Tactical squad. I also loaned out my Devastator Squad, and should build a second one. I have empty Razorbacks I'd buy for them too. After that, I'll get around to building those Thunderfire Cannons. They look hella complicated.
-
Null Zone removing Invul saves from Wyches that get it from being nimble is just mean. ;)
I can't even wrap my mind around the metaphysics of that...
-
Null Zone removes invul saves? I thought it just forced re-rolls on successful invul save checks?
-
It does Hydra but the concept behind Null Zone Hindering the sheer speed and agility that allows the wyches to have an Invulnerable save I think is what Torvald is getting at. Its just Story conflicting with Rules again :P.
Null Zone deploys a field of Psychic Energy that hinders and impedes Electric and Psychic Abilities that grant invulnerable saves. You can say that it would cause the Wyches inherent Psychic ability of being an Eldar species to cause a lag in Physical conditioning because of the Null Zone.

I don't have the Models for it But the Concept list I wanted to run in Doubles :P.

They only get the increased speed from pain, I believe?
Pain can be thought of as a form of psychic energy.
Since the Null Zone impedes psychic energy, the Wytches would have a harder time drawing the pain from it to gain the increased speed.
Makes sense to me! ;)
-
They get the Invul for superior hand to hand training. If they got it from pain they would have it all the time ;)
Either way it was a great use of the psychic power.
-
This is the only way it makes sense to me. Dark Eldar do not like Psykers. Null Zone, Exhibit A.
Librarian: "I'm in your head, Werder!"
-
wait, when did i cheat during that game!?!?!? And yeah, we need a rematch! ill be there tomorrow with 1250 if you are interested.
Hey im coming this thurs. Are you gonna be around for our rematch?
Im bringing 1500pts of DA.
-
Someone convince me to come this week.
-
Someone convince me to come this week.
Um, 40k?
-
Anyone looking for a game was more like I was pointing at. About 1500 points or so see where I can go from there.
-
You could start practicing 1750. Hint hint....
-
Fine Chase you got me I threw together a 1750 List if anyone is interested in playing against it post here.
-
And, fallen, sorry, im no going to make it this week =( im going to be there early and later on saturday, but no thursday.
-
I'll be there, but will be giving Simon practice for the Conflict GT.
Which means I need to come up with a 1750 list by tomorrow.
-
On duty at the station so no Thursday 40k for me this week, suppose it gives me a week to tweak a 1750 list for next Thursday!
-
Fine Chase you got me I threw together a 1750 List if anyone is interested in playing against it post here.
If your still lookin for a game. Im down. Ill bring 1750 DA.
-
Depending on my work and how stuff acts up Ill try and be there.
-
Then we'll try and see you there.
-
and my hat.
-
A relatively quiet night 40k wise. In fact, the Fantasy crowd had a bigger week, congrats!
In the time Orks vs Tau took place, Daemons vs BA Descent of Angels happened twice. Also, Pat's Hat fought Nick's Dark Angels, and when I left, the Dark Angels had things well in hand.
-
Ya Dark Angel's Deathwing pulled out the Win so many 2+ 3+ saves to try and get through :(.
-
Anyone down for a game this thursday? Im trying a new army. 1500pts
-
I know I'll be around and I believe I can muster up a decent 1500 points of Space Marines. If you're trying a new army, nothing quite like going against baseline Vanilla!
Or if you want to learn nothing at all, I can always break out the Daemons. :P
-
Ill definately be there Thursday Ben with a few 1750 lists to try out, I might be running behind depending how late me and my men spend in Worcester for the Firefighter Davies funeral and reception. Need to go home first as I'm not playing 40k in my class-A's
-
Im gonna be down this Thursday I have a 1750 point list Im itching to try after my heroclix game with Intropack Ed and others.
-
Play what ever you want ben. Im putting a verity list together so I can get a feel for some of the units. It won't be super competetive. Should be fun though. I'll be there around 7.
-
I might actually be able to make it down this week if things at work pan out well. I'd like to try out a 1750 list but I can field 2k easily.
-
If you want I can bump it up to 1750. It won't be a turni quality list but it should be ok.
-
If you want I can bump it up to 1750. It won't be a turni quality list but it should be ok.
I can field a 1750 Space Marines list as well. If I decide on Space Marines, it'll be the list I run at the tournament.
-
Four matches tonight.
Orks vs Grey Knights, kans ftw!
Feral Orks vs Orks, old school vs new school, a rare match-up across editions! Feral Orks took care of the new greenskins.
Space Marines vs Tau, a draw. Not losing means Pat is learning how to play Space Marines against an army that's really good at killing Space Marines, at least from a distance.
Space Marines vs Blood Angels. This was my first solo match playing Space Marines and Nick's first solo match playing Blood Angels. While the game took longer than most, it was one of the best games in some time. It was an even match of skill and luck (mostly bad luck), and we broke down the rules to get it as right as we could. Our 5 objective Seize Ground game came down to a final score, 1-0 in favor of the Spehss Mahreens! It felt like a draw, with a Razorback being assaulted and improbably withstanding the fury of a Sanguinary Priest and many Assault Marines. Game end Turn 6. Really great game, what I want for every Thursday 40k match, fun and learning.
-
He did kill the brunt of my army though it was a definite uphill struggle. First turn I lost effective use of 570 points of my list. If dice rolls had been slightly different it could have been a win for either side it was a great match.
Dreadnought in a drop pod worked like a charm. It took out a Hammerhead's Rail gun first turn it came out and the drop pod blocked line of sight for the Broadside to a majority of the field. Shaken assaulted the Hammerhead cleaning it up before being immobilized by the Pirahna. Barely managed to reach a Fire Warrior squad with its heavy flamer got them to retreat closer where he cleaned them up. Lost his Multi-Melta from the Pirahna decided to get some revenge and wrecked it with his heavy flamer. MVP for the Space Marines of the game.
Terminators moved kind of slow across the board unfortunately I cant roll a 2+ to save my life lost 2 making it to the other side and 2 in CC with Tau Fire Warriors the final one cleaning up the squad and proceeded to help Vul'Kan until he died from Pirahna fire I believe.
Vul'Kan foot slogging with the Termies kept him out of harm's way for the most part took a Wound from the concentrated fire of 2 Fire Warrior squads. He then proceeded to tear apart a Fire Warrior squad and a Crisis Suit Squad in Close Combat. Then took a Wound from the remaining Crisis Suit squad. Killed off a Retreating Fire Warrior squad then died from Gun Drone fire.
Vindicators and the Thunderfire Cannon got singled out immediately first turn. Techmarine needed 2+ rolled a 1 killed off that squad. One vindicator was Immobilized in deployment position by Broadsides and the other was Shaken for 2 turns before exploding.
Landspeeders were killed off first turn before they could accomplish anything not sure if they may have been more effective later.
The Twin-Linked Lascannon Razorbacks I made a play error I should have been slowly moving them up as I fired at the Broadsides. Bad Dice rolls on both sides kept them from doing anything to help the rest of the field as they just kept shooting at each other. Found them effective probably won't change them.
Tac Squads didnt get to do much the Missiles were hitting and wounding broadsides but armor saves kept them up. The Units inside razorbacks didnt get moved close enough to be of any use.
The bikes majority got picked off by concentrated fire 2nd turn Attack Bikers Joe and Jim took out a transport hammerhead though before they bit the bullet.
Things thinking of changing. Dropping the Terminators for more bikes. Dropping points somewhere to put a locator beacon on the Drop Pod to Deep Strike Termies. Run Land Speeders in Squad if Im going to run more bikes.
-
I talked with Chase tonight to arrange something a little special for Plainville's Thursday 40k this coming week (22nd). Between the coming holiday and first anniversary of Thursday 40k, this is a great time to spread some cheer.
Just show up to play, paint, or celebrate 40k. (We'll know if you're not celebrating.)
One lucky player/painter/celebrant will win a 40k codex of their choice!
Consider it official.
-

When I read this, I did this IRL:
(http://memegenerator.net/cache/instances/400x/11/12070/12359962.jpg)
Pat, I thought we raised you better. :(
You feel like beating up on my Spehss Mahreens Thursday? Codex mirror match! And you won't shoot krak missiles at my Terminators, because now you know better.
-
There wasn't anything else they could shoot by that point the only other group I wanted/would shoot was out of LoS or out of range.
Frag Missile took out 2 Terminators so no I dont know better.
And Despite the fact im getting my Wisdom teeth pulled out the next Day I will now show up to face your Space Mehreens with my Salamanders and a Chance to win a codex for my Brother.

Im in for thursday. Anyone up for a game?
-
I'll be there with my Grey Knights looking for 1750 tournie practice!
-
Ill play you phoenix. Ill give you the option what would you rather play ? DA or BA
My DA is probly more of a turni quality list. My BA is ok. Im still practicing with them. Im good to play ether one.
-
Nick and Jason, I think you guys could have a really solid match. Both the DA and BA options would present an interesting challenge for Jason's GKs.
-

Whichever you want to have more fun with, i don't have a preference either way, just want to get some more practice in before the tournament.
i need to teach Draigo to stop rolling 1's before the 7th lol
-
I am going to be showing up again this thursday looking for 1750 practice games if anyone will indulge me.

You going for Tau or Tyranids?
-
Tau
-
42 players 36 of them Tau. Winner of Tournament Chaos Space Marines.
-
i know, sigh, i was trying to choose an army that was more fringe/recherche, and then that happened. sigh. At least we aren't all just jumping on the band wagon of the newest army with the shiniest toys. In fact, i think we are if not the oldest, certainly one of them.
-
Emory, did you email me to sign up?
-
ummm, yeah quite a while ago, uh oh, i think you even responded to it. Yup, just checked, I just forwarded it to you. If you have already filled up the tourney not factoring me in though just throw me on the waiting list, it typically filters in, and if not, worse things have happened.

He he, you tried to go hipster and then it backfired. You totally should have consulted with me before making your decision. Like, how many other Chaos Daemons players do you see? You could have gone Eldar, Chaos Space Marines, or if you wanted to be competitive still, Dark Eldar. Dark Angels without Terminators or bikes... An all Grot list.
-
yeah, but mostly i chose tau for the models, like fire warriors and battle suits are my two favorite models in the game. and having come from CC nids, i wanted something faster, and shootier, And I REALLY wanted a tank =D
-
Yeah, I gotta admit tanks are really helping my game. I just need to spend some time actually painting them... and finish building them. :)
Isn't there a painting social on Dec 27th?
-
What pray tell is a painting social?
-
Once a month, usually the last Tuesday of each month, Battleground has an informal show-up-and-paint night. It's nice, because people can trade painting tips, suggestions and just chat in general.
This would be the first one I've remembered since July. Apparently, people on Facebook know about this sort of thing, but the forum is neglected and unloved.
From the Google calendar:
"Come down to Battleground in Plainville to hang out, eat some pizza, paint some models, watch / talk about movies and TV, and have fun! New and experienced painters are welcome and encouraged to join! We've certainly got plenty of projects to work on, and I'm sure you do too. Last month we had a bunch of people come out and had an awesome time. I'm looking forward to this next one."

I just didn't recall getting an email from you. If I sent something back, you're all set.
-
Cool stuff, thanks
-
I'm going to try and head up this Thursday since I'm on holiday break and no work Friday. Looking for a 1750 preferably against IG or GK.
-
Pat, I need to back out of our match. I was so nervous about it, I went and got food poisoning. I'm gonna try to come by the store still, but I don't have the stamina for a match. My indication of tiredness came during a certain loud and public expletive-laden rant toward an automated check-out machine. Good stuff.

Want to do it Saturday? Im having my Wisdom Teeth Pulled on Friday and I bet you Im still man enough to show up :P.
Thats ok if anyone else wants to schedule a Match with me 1750 points would be great.
-
FIRST of all... please tell us it wasn't piezonis!
Actually, it was. :| I ordered the same cheeseburger and fries I get every week, but I didn't recognize any of the guys in the kitchen. I'll chat with the manager when I'm up on my feet.
SECOND of all... at least you yelled at a machine and just looked like "that" crazy guy instead of bereated a poor ole lady cashier days before christmas... cylons don't have feelings after all... except tricia helfer
If it were a person, I wouldn't have yelled though. (And I won't yell at the Piezoni's guy.) But I hear ya, I'd much rather share my feelings with Six, all things said.
Want to do it Saturday? Im having my Wisdom Teeth Pulled on Friday and I bet you Im still man enough to show up Tongue.
Bring those painkillers, Pat, and you got yourself a match. :P
-
If I can drive then you might see me Saturday it depends how messed up I feel and If I can sneak out without pissing off my family. I keep telling work I can work it but they are like no no you cant so I at least no I have it off.
-
Not fit to drive tonight. Laaame. First Thursday 40k missed in some time, and on a rare Souza night too. Some holiday. :|
-
Im in the same boat as you people decided not to show up working a double wanted to get a game in :( well at least I can face Ben on Saturday
-
Well since Ben pussed up the puss tree I'll give the run down. 4 games:
Small game of Orks vs. guard with the orks being victorious
3 1750 games. Dark Eldar vs. Tau. Tau wins on the tie breaker by 50 vp.
Deathwing vs Deathwing. Yes deathwing won.
Daemons vs. GK. Daemons getting the victory despite non preferred again. Grrrr
-
Thanks again to the DE player, (sorry, never caught your name) That was a really fun game, I didn't realize how close it was until right at the end. Lots of fun, and good luck at the tournament!
-
Thanks for posting up the games! I would have rather been there, all the same.
-
Well you have Saturday and a Drugged up Salamander's Player too look forward too Ben.
-
::knock knock:: BEN!!!!
I have a question for your awesome brain....ness.
-
::knock knock:: BEN!!!!
I have a question for your awesome brain....ness.
Ask away and I'll see if I can find my brain.
-
For the 1750pt singles tournement, which should I play:
C:SM (Salamanders)
CSM (Thousand Sons. 1 Pred)
Guard (mix mech and foot)
Blood Angels (Assault Marines and Baals)
I never played at this point level, in any kind of game so I have no idea which army will be effective. Any thoughts? I was leaning towards Blood Angels.
-
There are basically two prizes you can go for. One is Best General and the other is Player's Choice (same idea as Renaissance Man, Best Overall, et al).
Best General - Guard are exceptionally competitive at any point level. I'd then rank the rest as Blood Angels well ahead of Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines.
Best Overall - Bring your best painted, most fun army and enjoy yourself.
-
Hey ben what time you going to be at the store Tommorrow?
-
Hey ben what time you going to be at the store Tommorrow?
Funny thing, turns out tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I thought Christmas Eve was Sunday. I have family things to do.
How'd the wisdom teeth come out?
-
I knew tommorrow was Christmas Eve too :/. Right now Im doing rather well no complications slightly sore. Would have been already to have that match tommorrow I was so looking forward too :(.
-
Merry Christmas!
-
^ really? you didn't brag about having the 1000th reply? I am disappointed.
-
Heresy celebrating anything but the mighty god Emperor!

please, 1000 is for losers, 1003 is where its at WOOT!

I got 1000 posts for Christmas. :)

BRONY.
-
Can't make Thursday 40k this week since i'm on duty, but if anyone is going to be around the store another day this week looking for some 1750 tournament Grey Knight practice let me know, i've got most of the rest of the week off.
-
I know I owe Pat a match for some Space Marine on Space Marine violence.
Who's showing up this week, and who's getting shown up?
-
We are likely to have a small group of younger guys at the store this Thursday to work on some of their models. They are the definition of brand new.
One of them has Blackreach and Codex: SM. The other 1, 2, or however many have nothing as far as I know.
I was very excited that they said they were going to come hang out on Thursday. I wonder if it'll be Thursday night.....
-
Good timing then! I'll probably be up at the store earlier on Thursday, as I should paint more. Plus, there's always the amusing benefit of making Sam work while he's surrounded by all those fun games.
-
Can't make thursday. Im tryin for saturday this week.
-
I'll probably be able to make it this week. I'll likely bring my whole army but I'm trying to focus on getting painted. The army keeps growing faster than I can paint it.
-
This thursday is Also the 300 Point heroclix tournament for those who might be interested on a cool Miniature game on the side.
-
I got a shiney new carrying case, WITH BACKPACK STRAPS FOR BIKING!!! so im going to try to be there this saturday.
-
Hmm... The thread's not Saturday 40k or Thursday Heroclix. You guys are waaay off-topic. ;)
-
Warhammer 40k Heroclix! I have it deal with it.
-
Hmm... The thread's not Saturday 40k or Thursday Heroclix. You guys are waaay off-topic. ;)
Truth! ;)
-
I have noticed Saturday seems to be gaining a small amount of traction. Thursday's success is in large part because of consistency. I have been giving thought to more effort toward Saturday if there's a crowd for it. I'd like to duplicate Thursday's success, even by some small measure.
But I will brook no Heroclix chat here! There's a forum for that, and you'll have to yell at Sam to be on the forum, since Heroclix is his baby... his strange, strange universe-mashing baby. :P
-
You mean other miniature games? That is not really a part of the forum dedicated to Heroclix. You should bitch at Chase to get one made so that it has a solid dedicated place to be discussed.
In other news YOUR GOING DOWN BEN. You and your Space Sharks going to get eaten by my Salamanders :O.
-

Well, that's where Chase posted the announcement that Heroclix was returning, so I think that's pretty much what it's going to be until Heroclix proves to be something more than a fad.
But to clarify, I'm not going to bitch to Chase about anything, because I have nothing about which to bitch. I got 99 problems, but Chase ain't one.
-
I guess that I should have posted in this thread rather than starting a new one. I was looking to play a 1750 game tonight if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Jason

Jason usually everyone starts getting there between 6ish and 7, this close to the tournament i'm sure you'll find a partner looking for a game tonight
-
One of the busiest Thursday 40k nights in recent history. From the time I walked into the store around 4, there was 40k going on that lasted until 11 or so.
Pat's Hat beat me, his Vulkan list proving better than a not-Vulkan list.
Jason GK's ran against Bill's Blood Angels, and it would seem Psyflemen Dreads mock Feel No Pain like it's their job. Um, this is the new Jason who plays GKs two posts before mine, and not the Jason who plays GKs the post before mine. You figure it out!
There was a 3-on-2 game, with 3000 points per side. All I know is, that game sounded fun. Necrons, Black Templar, Orks, Chaos Daemons and Dark Eldar.
Tau vs Tau, Tau-tilly awesome. And there were two tables that I have no clue, just there was Warhammer, way over there.
So next week will be the last chance to practice 1750 lists before the tournament on January 7th. Next week will also be Thursday 40k's one year anniversary! ;D
-
I just wanted to say thanks again for a fun night of gaming. I hope I can make it a regular occurrence.
-Jason

Anybody doing Saturday 40k this weekend? if so what time is everyone getting there?
-
But to clarify, I'm not going to bitch to Chase about anything, because I have nothing about which to bitch. I got 99 problems, but Chase ain't one.
Made my week. :D
-
I am looking to get some practice with my tau, i am free most of this upcoming week if anyone is interested.

I'll be around the shop Monday. I know you've been waiting to beat on my poor Sharks.
-
Anybody doing Saturday 40k this weekend? if so what time is everyone getting there?
Just a heads up, We're closing early tomorrow (Saturday). When exactly is up to Sam, but it will likely not be before 4:00pm.
-
I'll be there today around opening. I have a game scheduled around 11 but free after.
-
Anyone going to be around late morning on Monday? I would love to get in a 1750 practice game.
-
It sounds like Ben is gonna be there, and i will too. This is gonna be SO much easier now that I have a nice carrying case, WITH BACK PACK STRAPS! And yes ben, im bringing my hammerhead so we can have some hot shark on shark action.
-
I may be around monday depending when I get out of work and such.
-
What is this Madness, Monday 40K!?!? But its good because i have gotten in all of ONE practice game, and haven't been playing all that often.
-
Unofficial Monday 40k, count me in!
-
Emory, I should be there most of the day Monday. And that goes too for anyone else who'd like to see my shining face. ;D
-
Ill try to head in nice and early, and then i am probably going to be there for a good part of the day.
-
its a trap
-
Nah, ben's a guy. And Ed, where did you get that avatar? Ive seen a bunch of them around, (like baldur giving hte thumbs up XD) and i wanna get Shae
-
there's a thread somewhere in the old PP boards where people made them off a street fighter skin some the authors didn't care if people used them like this one.
-
Viva la Monday 40k!
that is all
-
I think I'll show up today and get some painting/assembling done. I can cobble together a 1750 list if someone needs a practice game, but I won't be in the tournament.
-
Thanks Jason, great game, sorry about your dice
-

I'll be there tomorrow with my 1750 Grey Knights (version 13.37, i've changed this list that many times since the 1750 tournament was announced)
figure i better try out this list at least once before the tournament Saturday lol
in fact, if anyone wants a game tomorrow afternoon before normal 6-7 Thursday 40k let me know, it would be nice to squeeze in 2 games tomorrow
-
Pat's hat will be looking for one last practice game before tourney.
-
Anyone up for some 1750 practice? Thursday 7pm. I would like to get a game in this week. The old lady nixed my saturday. So I can't make it. :( I have been working on my BA (which wasn't ready for the turni anyway) it should give a good game.
-
ooo, Jason, are you going with the purifiers? And also, like any one, i am looking for a practice game if any one will put up with me.
-
ooo, Jason, are you going with the purifiers? And also, like any one, i am looking for a practice game if any one will put up with me.
Emory, I kinda owe you a game from Monday.
I feel like I owe lots of other people games too, like a notably long list.

Allow me to answer that question with the following visual aide.

Damn purifiers. Although, this will mean more kill points. It looks like we are both going to be wanting the mission where troops dont generate kill points, because it means you get a free ride with your rhinos, and my squishy troops aren't liabilities, and my speed will allow me to hold table quarters and the center.

Yah only 9 kill points with the Paladins, more now with the purfiers so will certainly hurt towards that objective, on the up side i have considerably more shooting now.
-
Any body up for a game tonight? I'll take it easy on ya. What about you Emory? I still need a rematch.
-
Nick (TOTALLY REMEMBERED), sorry we couldn't get a game in, next week! And Ben, thanks, hold on! Chaos is getting updated soon! And, eventually you have to roll well by accident, math say that it has to happen eventually. Great game, as usual.
-
Rack up another solid night for Thursday 40k. From what I recall...
Orks vs Orks
Orks vs Grey Knights
Orks vs Tau
Space Wolves vs Chaos Daemons
Chaos Daemons vs Tau
Chaos Daemons vs Space Marines
Those last two games were mine, practice games for the tournament, both losses. I am disappointed in my list and really missed Monstrous Creatures. So from here on out, list building is going to be pure fun, like two Bloodthirsters fun. Less competing, more smashing. :)
Coming up... February I believe there was going to be a Trios event. Last time that was 1,000 points player per team, and 2,000 points for the solo game. Time to start thinking about your teams!
-
Yay for the holidays being over and not having to work every Thursday night! I'm going to have to try and get myself up next week, now that I can.

How about this week are you ready to rumble?
-
This thursday sound good? how many points?
-
Im good for any amount. How about 1500? I can go up to about 4000. :)
-
think you could possibly swing up to 1750? just because i have a nice list at that point level. But if you have a list that you want to use at 1500, i wouldn't mind using that.
-
I'll be teaching this Thursday.
In other news, I have a Tau codex finally. So I'll be able to talk Tau. Like, half of you are speaking some language I don't understand right now.
"Blah blah, crisis suit."
"Crisis suit? Blah blah, blah. Greater Good."
"Rail gun!"
"BLAH-kka BLAH-kka BLAH-kka!"
-
It would be pretty funny if you started tau.

1750 it is. BA or DA... hmm what to play. If I use my BA. I may have to prox a droppod.

Fallen, feel free to proxy stuff for the game.
-
Going to try to make it tomorrow. that being said i've been in an Incident Command course in Hyannis all week and my brain is pretty fried, after tomorrow it will probably be well done
if i don't make it tomorrow i will definitely be there next week
-
Thursdays always arrive so much faster after a tournament...
Just a general caution, that tomorrow will feature some weather. I dare even call it winter weather. Careful driving everyone, and all that.

no problem Ben. just deep strike into Battlegrounds... mind that scatter dice though, you might land in Papa Ginos instead

I would think rain would give you all the more reason to game inside. Unless you want to start a new event where people jump in puddles. Hell we could even roll dice, but if you get hit my 40k rain drops your out, sorry that is the rules. If you are mad. We can fight about, but i wouldn't mess with me because I'll call my daddy hes a pilot he fought in the war of independents day.

Hmm...
1 or 2, Catastrophic Intestinal Mishap.
3 or 4, Opponent places you in restaurant of his choosing.
5 or 6, Go home, try come in another day.
Hey wait, stop distracting me! I have things I need to be doing.
-
Anyone up for a game thursday? Emory bailed on me.

I would fallen but I'm 95% sure I won't be there tonight, ill do 2000 points of grey knights if your gonna be around next week. Prep pratice for trios in febuary
-
One friend of mine will be there around 7:30.
I can't tell if this is one of those quiet weeks when we'll have a handful of games, or one of those quiet weeks when a dozen people show up and I have no explanation for it.
-
I was planning on being there but I just found out that I need to head down to Yale Friday morning.
-
Im bringing 1750 with me if anyone wants a game tonight.
-
Blood Angels vs Tyranids
Orks vs Imperial Guard
And the classic Black Reach match-up of Space Marines vs Orks. It seems like whenever I run this demo, the Orks roll like warbosses all.
There were a bunch of people just milling about as well. Mellow evening, actually got to have conversations with people!
-
I may have fallen into the trap of "must devour everything" and may have forgotten that the point of the game was objectives. Oops. Really fun game though!

That, and also Dante happened.
-
What a weird game. After having most of my tanks destroyed before I got to use them. I was sure I was gonna get tabled. Dante is a boss. He pulled a victory out of eminent defeat. Great game. Im up for a rematch any thursday.
-
Thinking I might beable to make it up this Thursday! Anyone up for a game? I'll either of my guard or my marine WIP army if I can manage to settle on the whole regular marine or templar question and build a list..... ::)
-
I'll be there this week with a 2k Grey Knight list
also, i stole Ben's Ipod last week and discovered what he listens to to get hyped up for Thursday 40k

I'm slightly confused by the video, because if they were playing old school D&D, I can see the d6. But these guys and gals are playing 4th, where you'd have to figure any song would be about the d20, or at least an ironic ode to the d12.

Perhaps the d6 is the most musical of the dice?

-
I'll be there this week with a 2k Grey Knight list.
I'll be happy to play you a 1850 game.
I got a 1850 game on saturday. I would like to try out this list before then.
-
Hey Fallen,
I was hoping to get some 2k practice with this list before Trios but if i can't get a 2k game in i'll knock some points off on the fly and give you some 1850 practice
-
Is this the place to schedule games for 40k? I usually play up at pandemonium but I'm looking for some good templecon practice. (This is Matt Bennett, with the GK, btw).
Anyone up for 2k?

If you're looking for a game on Thursday, this is the thread. Thursdays are 40k nights at Plainville. If you're looking for a game any other time, I'd recommend a separate thread.
In general, I encourage people to show up these days with 2000 point lists, anticipating both Templecon and the upcoming Battleground Trios tournament. If you're reading this, want to play and can't swing 2000, that's okay, you're still very likely to find a game.

Not to worry. Ill find 150pt to through in. 2k it is.

Or do like me and come with many lists. I'll be bringing 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 lists :D
-
I will be there, with 2000 pts. But, is anyone interested in lining up a game ahead of time?
-
Some of my crew looks to be showing up, so there's a couple more players.
-
I swear, the forces of Chaos don't want me to ever play. Long story short, I can't make it again this week! Frustrating, there's always next week though!

The tau the tau tau and then the tau and then tau tau tau tau.

Ben did you drive safe?
I drove not like an idiot, which is more than I can say for others on the road. You know what's not good to do on the highway in a snow storm? Jam on the brakes.
Tonight lots of good energy around the store, and 5 good-sized games. Here's the crazy part. There were 7 Tau players in the room at one point. WTF? Tausday 40k.
Tau vs Deathwing
Tau vs Grey Knights
Tau vs Space Marines
Grey Knights vs Blood Angels
Grey Knights vs Blood Angels
Those last two games were quite different. One GK list was Crowe and Purifiers, the other Draigo and friends. One BA list was Vindicators and mech and stuff, the other Descent of Angels.
Lots of 2000 point games in the house too, getting ready for upcoming 40k events. Trios teams are beginning to coalesce as well...
-
I'll be there this week with 2000 of Grey Knights (and a 1000pt list if we get some guys who want to do some double practice for the tournament)
speaking of which, myself and Torvald are still looking for a 3rd member for our team for the Trios tournie, Grey Knights and Dark Eldar. If your interested in joining up send me a PM or talk to me Thursday.
thanks,
-Jason

I can vouch for Jason and Vance. They're good dudes. Team up with them.

Anybody looking for a 2000 pts game Thursday?

I am. Ill play ya. I get there around 630-7.

This week I have a match against a newer Tau player.
Next week, I'll start asking for 1000 per doubles practice matches. Get your partners ready!
-

Ah, sorry, now I have to back out. Secured a game with Jared in Boston. But I'll play you next week!
-
I am making my glorious/completely unnoticed return to BG this week, but i am going to be rocking warmachine... any of you guys also have warmahordes with your 40k?
-
Pretty sure if you're playing the wrong game, no one in this thread will notice you coming or going. ;)
But I noticed you were not around, and I just figured it was Canadian Lent and you had given up Battleground.
I think Ed's the only person I know playing Warmachine who might be there Thursday. Heroclix has been happening some. You'd probably be down with Wolverine or Alpha Flight.
I'll be there, staring down the barrel of a rail rifle again. Emprah v. Greater Good, dig it.
-
I know one of the tau players rofel, is starting warmahordes, and i wish more people would pick it up, its a really interesting system that is refreshing after a long time playing 40k, but this is not the place to try to convert you folks

HERESY!!! Burn the chaos worshipping fish aliens!!!

Menoth burns people better.
-
Well, I'll be there this week but I didn't pack up the Khador when I left this morning. I'll be bringing 2000+ points of Tau, so I'm up for a 2000 pointer or some 1000 point doubles in prep for the tourney.
I'll probably get there early and work on painting up some hammerhead tanks.
-
Anyone up for a game tonight? Any points.
-
I am bringing 2000+ points of grey knights tonight. Happy to play any point level.
-
Im good for 2k. Ill see ya @630-7.

This question came up, here is the answer:Q:
What is the arc of fire for a gauss flayer array? (p53) A: As it is mounted on the hull it will have a 45 degree arc of fire. However it is slightly unusual in that it has multiple gun barrels. As long as you can draw line of sight along one of them, you can target the unit.
-
Solid night of 40k.
Space Marines vs Tau, a test game with Shadowsun. Interesting to see how Tau function at Ld 10.
Grey Knights vs Necrons
Blood Angels vs Tau
Grey Knights & Blood Angels vs Orks
And, after checking out everything, one Black Reach kit to a new player, who will split it with a friend. Word.
Next week, I want in on a doubles game, practice for the upcoming Trios tournament.

Got A fun list idea if 1000 points for double games so if people want to practice doubles I can fill in.
-
Well, I am the guy that bought the AoBR set. Thanks for showing off the game to me. I will be getting my friend into it (as soon as the new baby stuff wears off). As for myself, I will see y'all in a couple of weeks.
I thought I would be building a space marine army, but after reading the rules...Orks are just too much fun to pass up.

Also just a tip... don't limit yourself to just the armys in AoBR if you want a diffrent army than just keep the books, dice, and templates and sell the force you don't want. You can get close to $40- $45 for both orks and SM. But if you want to play orks than it's a win, win!

I strongly encourage players to show up with Doubles lists this week, as Battleground is generously donating lots of terrain and tables to the Templecon event this weekend. For the Thursday 40k crew, this means we'll have only a handful of tables left set up in the store.
It just so happens I am still looking for a Doubles match, as a partner and I want to practice for the Trios tournament.
The tournament is running 1000 point lists with 1-3 Troops and only 1 selection for each slot thereafter.
-
That's depressing to hear. Hans and I were going to stop down and get some Templecon practice in.
-
Are there going to be any tables left for the weekend?

Won't be there this week since im stuck on duty Thursday.
however i will challenge you to a doubles match NEXT Thursday!
/manly slap
/throw down power gauntlet
/kick space dirt in eyes
the weapons shall be Grey Knights and Necrons vs whichever plastic space figures you choose
you may choose the field of honor... or which ever table has terrain
Ethel will be my second in case i come down with a case of something caught fire on the base
(http://files.redux.com/images/c1d783809fa354405485b5cc4cc71b37/raw)
also i think Vance is going to try to make it as well, so Trios practice all around!
-
We're going to have at least 5 tables available at all times.
-
That's depressing to hear. Hans and I were going to stop down and get some Templecon practice in.
I know you guys are coming from a distance, so I wish I could say, "Oh, it'll be a quiet week, no problem." We've been running five tables at a time on average, and that's with Singles games, so it might be close space=wise. It's definitely first come, first serve. :)
-
I'll make sure we have enough tables for those interested in playing. Count on it.

Alright, you heard the man, get your butts to Thursday 40k.

My Trios partners will be looking for a Doubles practice match tomorrow evening. I'll bring both my armies and prepare for anything and everything.
-
Waiting for Ben to get home just to read all the tau games that were played tonight is killing me I can't wait.
-
What's the deal with all the tau?
-
They are blue man group fans.
-
Quiet night tonight, relatively.
Blood Angels vs Descent of Angels, two games. 1 BA win, 1 draw.
Some Black Reach action.
Tau vs Eldar (Ed's Tau update right there)
Chaos Daemons vs Grey Knights. Don't scoff, my Daemons pulled out the KP win. But if I ever play against the same player in a tournament setting, I'd get hosed. I just happened to bring two Bloodthirsters and some Soul Grinders, which made the match a bit easier for me.
-
Where all the tau
-
Kroot mercenaries is where it's at!
-
Ok, I have a question for y'all. I am starting to paint my vast green horde of Orks, and I am going to need a way to transport them. What does everyone recommend?
edited in the best interest of the store.
-Chase
-
There are some Army Transport cases with foam trays at the Plainville store. You may remember they're what the Black Reach kit was packed in. That's the standard for transportation.
-
There are three weeks of Thursday 40k between now and the Trios tournament. That's one week for each doubles iteration. Jason, our doubles practice match is still on from my end.
Also, there are rumblings of Warmachine and Magic (Commander nights) challenging 40k for Thursday dominance. Heavy is the crown and great is the price for being awesome.

What Ben Should do to Warmachine players.
-
Thought crossed my mind...
Heh, no. All hobbies are good for the store. Exclusion/seclusion is the worst thing. BG has plenty of tables, plenty of terrain. Warmachine would actually be doing quite well here if 1) PP could keep their items stocked and 2) there was a open, dedicated group meeting weekly. There just isn't a day that rhymes with Warmahordes... Wednesday Warmahordes? *shrug* Viva Thursday 40k!
-
Is anyone going to be around this Thursday night that wants to play an AOBR game? I am still learning the rules (and putting together my Ork army) and I do not have an army to play with yet.
-
I live In Fairhaven and thinking of doing a road trip to there soon. but thursday kinda hard, i work until 5. Does anybody play there on saturday? i might be there on the 25th. For armies i have Blood Angel, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Orks, Space Wolves(Grimnar's), Space Wolves(Ragnar's), Tau Empire & Tyranids. but not all painted. hope that not a problem. My armies are over 3000pts each except Tau, Necrons are 1500pts and Tyranids about 2000pts w/o wargear. I'm getting rid of my old school Tyranids haven't playn them since last codex. looking to trade them for Grey Knights(Purifier army) and/or store credit to buy some.
ps. Tyranids army has 2x Hive Tyrant, 2x Lictor, 50x Genestealer, 10x Hormagaunt, 30x Termagant, 6x Tyranid Warriors, 1x Biovore, 2x Carnifex

Anyone interested 2000 pts tomorrow? 1850?

-
Sweet. My name is nick ill be there with my bloody dark angels. See ya then.
-
Crowded store tonight, an extra table set up for space reasons.
Daemons & Grey Knights vs Grey Knights & Necrons. Totally legit teams! The Necron side pulled out a convincing win. I learned more in this game than any game in recent memory.
Tau vs Tyranids, a marathon of a game that ended in a draw.
Dark Angels vs Grey Knights... I think. I didn't see much of this game and have no idea what happened. Dice were rolled.
And of course, everyone's favorite, Black Reach. More and more new players keep showing up, which is good... except when I have to practice and the store's really busy... Hmm.
So! Next week, Bill and I are looking for another doubles practice round. Any takers? Any one willing to step up to the challenge?
-
Four tau players one game, i am mad
-
I'll be there tomorrow night with my GK looking for a 2k Trios practice game
my 2 partners should be there as well for some doubles practice
-
Anybody looking for a game tomorrow, maybe willing to let me proxy up some henchmen?
Any points value is fine, really.
-
1000 points of (mostly not painted) Orks should be there tomorrow night if someone feels like crushing a newbie....
-
Three players gaming in their first Thursday 40k, so that was cool.
Grey Knights vs Daemons, played to a kill-point draw.
Orks vs Tau, twice
Blood Angels vs Grey Knights
Tyranids vs Chaos Space Marines
Next week! Last Thursday 40k before the Trios tournament. Join us for practice, same bat time, same bat channel, and then witness the thrilling conclusion next Saturday before a live audience.
-
Tau in the house!
-
Hey guys, my name is Garrett Yablonski and I am a student at WPI and looking to get back in the game, From what Ive seen people meet on thursdays. Just wanted to confirm how many ppl are there usually, and if there is an army thats not wide played at the store (havent played in 3 years, my first and only army atm is tau, and considering picking up a new one for a fresh start at painting and fun)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Garrett,
Usually there's 8-10 people on a usual Thursday evening. It's a good night to chat all things 40k and get a casual game in.
If you play Tau, you'll find a home here. Tau for some inexplicable reason is BG Plainville's most popular army, far and away the most played army.
If you want to see the other armies, I do very brief write-ups after each week. That will give you an excellent idea of the usual suspects. :)
-
Sounds good, hope to see you guys soon!
-
Play your tau please. It will make me ever happy.
-
I have no problem playing my tau again, i was just seeing which armies werent being played, as a new one might bring a fresh start to the game again. I have finals comign in a weekend and an half so at the emnd the the term ill probably stop by and meet you guys
-
Yeah, I think the least seen army is Space Wolves... which is probably opposite from every other game store or club in the past few years. Tau are most popular, Tyranids second, new Necrons are surging a bit, but every other army is represented fairly equally after that.
-
A lot of greyknights all so
-
A lot of greyknights all so
The Grey Knight players are just the most consistent. Not as consistent as a certain Daemons player, a statement that applies only to attendance.
-
Well I can think of four maybe five. Maybe your daemons are to spooky for all of them to be active.
-
all sounds good! just out of curiousty, how many dark eldar & sisters of battle players are at the store? (I saw there new models and they looked really nice)
-
Off the top of my head...
Two Dark Eldar players who play infrequently.
Two Sisters players, one who's infrequent and one who knows better than to play them with the current "codex". :|
-
Interesting, maybe ill pick up dark elder. Btw is there any campians that run during the school year or is ther eone that runs soon till may? (im back on long island over the summers unfortunatly but ill be back up late august for the whole year
-
Campaigns have been discussed and one time attempted, but one hasn't happened in 1+ years and I don't expect one to happen anytime soon.
-
Man thats a shame :-[
-
Fear not. im working on a small campaign. Hopefully ill have it done for april.
-
Leagues are strange. That's the most simple way to put it.
When the new edition comes along, expect to see a league about a month or two after it drops.
I haven't decided if I want to recycle something or have Sam and Ben design one form the ground up.
So many projects, so little time...
-
Nick has a good idea for a campaign, two large teams instead of free-for-all, we've talked about that. But there have been so many other projects and for some reason much less time these days.
Basically, Thursday 40k hasn't needed a campaign to keep attendance up as attendance is fine week-to-week. So that's the biggest reason.
-
That sounds good, Ill be around till may 12th ish then college ends for me (im from NY) but was the new addition supposded to drop this summer? I know its a long ways away but would there be any way to get a campain going next august? i would have all school year then to play ::)
-
I am looking at getting back into the game and will pick up the rules again and read them..
Anyone want to give me a friendly game in Plainville and explain how they Thrash me....
Joe
-
I'm looking for a Doubles game this week, since one didn't happen last week as planned.
To the new players, next Thursday I plan on making myself available for whatever. So there can be learning and whatnot.
-
I'm also looking for a doubles game tonight. If one of my team mates is there.
-
If any one is up for a game let me know. I can bring 2k singles or 1k fillin teams for turni practice.
-
I'll be around to fill in as a doubles partner or possibly a 2k game if its needed.
-
My partner and I will be looking for a Doubles game tonight, so I'm taking some of you up on the offer!
-
How about it pat? Team up to play bens team?
-
No because work decided to keep me late sorry I couldn't show up.
-
The doldrums of winter arrived. Only one game tonight, 2000 Daemons vs 1000 BA & 1000 GKs. (The rest of the store was quieter than usual as well.)
Fateweaver was able to hide entirely behind some of one of those new huge pieces of terrain for two rounds, which was ridiculously awesome for me. As soon as he stuck his neck(s) out, he dropped like a sack of chaos potatoes.
The Trios tournament is this Saturday, and should be good fun! Come by if you can.
Next Thursday, I'm making myself completely available for teaching/explaining/guru-ing. If you're a new player or deciding whether to play, this would be a good week for you to come by!
-
Yummmmm chaos potatoes
-
Anyone interested in about 200o pts tomorrow?
-
I'm still making myself available tomorrow evening for open teaching, new people, things like that.
-
Will you bring Cake?
-
I'm still making myself available tomorrow evening for open teaching, new people, things like that.
That doesn't sound like you're looking for a game, though.
-
That doesn't sound like you're looking for a game, though.
Yeah, that was meant that more as a general post. Lots of new players that need love and attention, and I neglected them to practice for the Trios.
Some of the 9-5'ers are probably still driving home from work, and some of them don't use the forum. I'd suggest Facebook if you haven't yet, because I hear that's a thing people use. I'm still resisting it myself.
-
I was looking for you on facebook Ben! where you at? come talk to me!!!!
-
I'd suggest Facebook if you haven't yet, because I hear that's a thing people use. I'm still resisting it myself.
Take your own advice Ben!
-
I will be there tomorrow night with 1500 points of Goff Orks
-
Take your own advice Ben!
But *I* haven't needed Facebook.
Also, I don't care what Chase or Derek does with my information here, but that Zuckerberg guy looks like a complete goof.

Ben will you teach me?
-
Ben will you teach me?
I won't teach you, but I'll school you.
-
Pay 2 life tap a land draw a card its a land. Did I do good?
-
It seems like tomorrow's Thursday 40k might have a bunch of people come out, including a few new guys.
Cool. :)
-
Rob and I got in a good game of Orks vs Space Marines. I hate rolling dice with power armor armies, but a credit to Rob for a good strategy. Really solid, educational game, lots of eye-opening possibilities for those greenskins. Frank came by to check out the game as well, a bigger version of his new Black Reach kit.
Grey Knights vs Tau. The Greater Good prevails over the Greyer Good!
Chaos Space Marines vs Tyranids. I don't know how this game finished, but yay Berzerkers! Please come back!
Necrons vs Blood Angels. Newer players, learning the finer points of 40k. Like the horrors that Scarabs unleash upon unsuspecting vehicles.
Also, a Pat's Hat sighting. And the Hat brought its Pat. Oh, and lovely weather we're having.
-
To say that my Tau "beat" the grey knights wouldn't be exactly accurate. More like a really close game where I got lucky.
-
Ya I don't know what to do with my Thursday's anymore I need to start scheduling games or bringing my paints. Grabbed a Game with Ed for a Different Miniwargame but not much today for me in 40k.
1850 tourney coming up might look at making a list for that for next week and go from there.
-
Damn, I really need to fight for more Thursdays off from work.
Who's up for some 1850 practice next week?
-
To say that my Tau "beat" the grey knights wouldn't be exactly accurate. More like a really close game where I got lucky.
It was a fun game but I made the same mistaqke I always do with tau,
I try to get in a shooting match with them instead of driving up really fast and poking them in their fish heads with power weapons
-
Ya, I'm not sure what would have happened if you just drove towards me. I guess the your shooting didn't work out too well that game but that was due to my luck. I'd be curious to see what happened if we just replayed the same game and re-rolled all the dice.
-
Jason, at some point I want to watch how you set up and move your vehicles. I'm thinking that may be the next way to elevate your game.
-
Seeing as how I am now Jobless, I will likely be down for thursday this week,
-
Going to try my darnest to get up Thursday as well, now that it's not 20- degrees outside! You'd think, in the... 3 months!? sense I was last up there I'd have gotten some painting in, right? Wrong! Just got my guard command squad 90% done... just need to base and varnish but I really don't want to varnish. My stupid GW varnish is clouding up the models, ruining the paint jobs.
-
Anyone want to do an 1850 practice game for the tournament?
-
Hi all. New to the area and dusting off my Necron army. Haven't played a game of 40K since 4th edition, but got some new Necron stuff put together this week and am planning to attend 3/8 to meet some folks and try to get in a game. Like I said, not new to 40K but honestly have not played in a few years, and never under the current rules. So, Planville at 6:00-ish is the normal Thursday night 40K gathering? Looking forward to it! -Mark
-
So, Planville at 6:00-ish is the normal Thursday night 40K gathering? Looking forward to it! -Mark
Welcome! Start times have been creeping toward 6:30-7. Of course feel free to show up earlier and just meet people and chat.
For everyone else's edification, the past week of my new job has been pretty tiring. I'm still showing up for Thursday 40k this week, but I'll be "that guy", who watches games, interjects with inappropriate rules, and breaks your concentration with my labored, greasy breathing.
-
Please stay away from my edh game I don't want to hear you opinions on my so called miss plays in my casual format! Grease is welcome though.
-
Necrons vs Blood Angels
Necrons vs Tau
Chaos Space Marines vs Blood Angels
Sisters of Battle vs Space Wolves
Sleep mode, activated.
-
Time to shut down the pony.
-
Anyone looking for a Thursday game? Specifically, I wanna practice my 1850 list for the tournament next week.
-
If work doesn't keep me around Ill be up for a practice game. Need to figure out what I am doing but I'll have a list by thursday.
-
OK, let's do it. WHat's your name? (probably met you, but don't have internet = real associations)
-
Any one want to practice 1850? Thursday. I haven't played in weeks. I need to get my 40k fix. :)
-
I'm going as "that guy" again. Had a good time last week, so why not again? Still getting my sea legs under me from the new job, but I'll get there.
-
Im that Guy named Pat who wears a Hat.
Off to go fix my car myself to save money to buy more 40k pieces. Can't be harder than putting together a Metal Model of a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch.
-
Ok, well I'll see you there, Pat
-
New to the forums, but have gone to BG quite a bit, just not on Thursdays. Since i'm on spring break i'll be trying to make an appearance tonight. I want to try my list.
-
I will be there tonight. i could field 1850 if you don't mind a few proxy units (my lootas are not completely built yet...and my Big Mek doesn't have a head yet)
-
No one will mind proxies, especially if it means they get some 1850 practice.
-
Two games tonight.
Orks vs Tyranids. Orks won Capture & Control, punctuated by the Orks making a Leadership check at -4. Not a -4 penalty, but a -4 total. Their heroism was insane!
Grey Knights vs Space Marines. Space Marines went down pretty hard, but Vulkan himself was a boss.
So, we'll see what next week brings. It's the last Thursday 40k before the tournament. I should really try playing a game before then. I should make a list too... Hmm.
-
So what did this still newish Ork Player learn tonight
1) Genestealers are pretty bad ass
2) Fearless rules suck
3) Monstrous creatures are pretty bad ass
4) Fearless rules suck
5) Apparently Orks have the "are tasty" trait against Tyranids (see statement 1,2,4)
6) Those fearless rules were written by someone who apparently hates Orks
7) Did I mention that Genestealers are pretty bad ass
8) That apparently watching an entire boyz mob eaten, makes the other boyz mighty brave.
And here I thought my biggest worry in the 40K universe was AV14 vehicles.
But the Boss's lunch was protected!
-
Vul'Kan does what he wants. He took on Assassins, Inquisitors, Terminatours, Dreadknights, and Henchmen all by himself. It took an Immortal Grey Knight to take him down.
-
That's the thing about thawn.....he always wins, in the end.
Anyway, anyone else looking for a practice game prior to Saturday?
-
So, seriously, anybody looking for a game tomorrow?
-
Two games tonight.
Chaos Daemons vs Tau. The Greater Good was fatewoven pretty hard. I rolled four dice, four 1's for saves and re-rolled them all for successes.
Blood Angels vs Chaos Space Marines. Oh, sure the Blood Angels won, but they got a glimpse into a mirror into their future into their souls. Harrowing, I say!
Well, it was the first really awesome weather day in quite some time. People will come back to 40k and we'll say, "Here, throw some dice."
Tournament this Saturday looks to be really excellent!
-
Whats the norm for Thursdays as far as points go and other things. I am trying to leave work exactly at 630pm to be there by 730ish this thursday.
-
7:30 is on the later side of "acceptible". :) These days, I don't get in and settled until 6:30 myself. Between 6:30-7:30 is usually good. Any later, and the games tend to drag into the late night. It takes slightly longer than the average game, based on it being half-practice, half-social event.
-
ok thanks
-
So, I am going to be there tomorrow night. 1850 points ready to go (and no proxy units this week!)
-
I'd really like to start play-testing 500 point Doubles lists tomorrow night, but I have a feeling it may be short notice for this week. I haven't taken my Daemons out of the car since the tournament, so I have 1850 on hand. I guess we'll see what the turnout is like, and go from there. Or as I like to call it, Plan A.
-
Anyone up for some thursday night 40k?. Im good for 1850. Let me know.
-
Nick and Rob, that would be a good match up. I'll make sure you two find each other.
-
Cool ill be there around 7.
-
I have a Couple of 500 point lists kicking around in my head. Unfortunately im 75% sure I wont be able to make it tomorrow.
-
I have a Couple of 500 point lists kicking around in my head. Unfortunately im 75% sure I wont be able to make it tomorrow.
In that case, just plan on bringing 125 points.
-
Can't make it tonight, overtime at the fire house
-
Tonight was pretty darn fun, definitely needed for the soul after a long work week.
Chaos Daemons vs Imperial Guard. A casual, push dice around, go over basics game. My little warp friends endured gouts of firepower to overcome.
Dark Angels (I believe) vs Orks. Nick and Rob's game, both learned quite a bit, not being familiar with each other's armies.
Dark Angels (Deathwing) vs Orks. More learning, pushing dice around and basics. An aside, I love Deathwing.
Tau vs Grey Knights. Bill's Grey Knight list is really hilarious. It just gets right to the point. First turn assaults, heavy incinerators all over your army.
Then just hanging out, got some rare quality Sam time. I remember that guy.
-
This week, I'd like to make an effort to play a 500 point doubles match (1 HQ, 1 Troop minimum per player). The scenario I have in mind is just about the simplest one, Pitched Battle Victory Points. I'm most interested in the time it takes to play the match.
I can run two 500 point lists at once, but I'd prefer to see how 4 people manage the game.
-
I would really prefer 4 people to play in this game also.
Please do us a favor and make it happen.
PS. The store will look like it's been robbed this Thursday. Have no fear, we've just taken most of the stuff to PAX.
-
This week is looking pretty good for me to make it, I'll see if I can come up with something I don't hate at 500 points, but don't count on it. If I can't come up with something I like, I'll just bring the Sanguinor and a handful of assault marines :-\
-
I will be there this Thursday since I am on vacation all week and i will try to make a solid 500 pts list
-
I am out this week, but if we are still testing out 500pts lists next week, I would be more than willing to bring a list and try out some team play.
-
I have Friday off so I'll probably be down. Hanging out if nothing else.
-
Yay lots of people!
I know there was a challenge thrown down last week, Tau vs IG. There will be some 500 points Doubles playtesting and a little bird told me about some Adepticon doubles practice. Thursday 40k, full steam ahead.
-
That bird is probably lying, or not, who knows, I'm confused.....
-
Hey, I might actually head in myself tonight... intrigued to try out a 500pt team game if there are folks around into that.
-
I'm looking forward to getting murdered by some IG. Should be a real fun game with a real nice guy.
-
Another week not enough gas to Make it up there. Brother Finally got a car so I don't need to haul his butt back and forth everywhere. Going to at least be 40kish and Get some painting done for the Tourney.
-
The store was unbelievably crowded tonight, standing room only for a few hours. That's the sort of thing that'll happen when BG hosts a Boy Scout troop meeting the night before Good Friday.
Blood Angels & Chaos Daemons vs Grey Knights, GKs continue to perpetuate the myth of breaking 40k.
Blood Angels & Kroot Mercenaries vs Blood Angels & Necrons - A mutually agreed upon draw. Furioso Dreadnoughts are becoming a favorite unit of mine, by the way.
Tau vs IG. I believe some rather poor luck on the IG shooting phase was the edge the Greater Good needed.
Thursday continues to be a night of all things. Magic, 40k, Warmachine, RPGs all firing at once. It's actually kinda neat to see the store at full potential at once.
-
Is anyone interested in playtesting Thursday? Regardless, I'll be there as will my armies. Seems I'm too lazy to take them out of my car when I get home.
-
If I get my Paycheck from work . Rumours state they have some fuck up and we might have to wait to get checks. I will be there tomorrow/Today with a 500 point list of Space Marines to throw the Power Gauntlet down to challenge others to great glory.
-
Looks like I'll be working Thursday night/Friday morning again, but going in late! That means I might just make it up finally after what... 8 months!? Won't be playing, but watching will be as much fun... and buying stuff, buying stuff is always good! Want to get me some of the new paints... especially the white base one... those are in now, right?
-
Pat's Hat got celebration trolled when the Bruins won in OT.
And in 40k....
Orks vs Blood Angels. Looked like the Blood Angels were on their way to a victory. Fast mech tends to do that.
Space Marines & Daemons vs Space Marines & Daemons. I had two goals in this match. One, see how long 750 points would take to play. Two, troll Pat with Fateweaver.
Tau vs Grey Knights. Simon set out to prove Tau could beat Bill's GK list. Maybe next week, try again!
Orks vs Dark Eldar. I saw this match was going on across the store, but it was across the store and I really need to make a better effort.
So next week I'm scheduled for a Doubles match at 1000 points a piece. I may end up running two armies unless someone else gets in the teaching mood and wants to be my partner against two young whippersnappers. Back in my day, when you started playing and you chose Necrons, you were laughed at. Now these kids and their new-fangled quantum shields and tesla weapons...
-
>.> I won that game by the way........ A hollow Victory outside the fact Fateweaver died from a Captain with a Relic Blade.
And by teaching mood you mean show kids Necrons are Stupid I'm in Ben.
-
The Orks didn't lose...we never lose
Big Mek Duffskab looked over at the Land Raider and said "I want" right before running away.
-
Want to get me some of the new paints... especially the white base one... those are in now, right?
I can now confirm that the new paints are in.
-
I was serious Ben about partnering up how you doing the FOC for 1000 Points so I can come up with something.
-
Regular FOC for each player.
-
Today's secret word is... 40k!
This evening, get your butts down to Plainville to roll some dice at plastic space mans. I believe a match of Space Marines & Chaos Daemons vs Necrons & Blood Angels is set. As always, the more, the merrier.
-
Dakkagut's Waaagh May or May not be there tonight. Late night at a concert last night...and I have my two new Battlewagon kits waiting at home....
-
I may be down with a 2k List for practice
-
Melta Melta everywhere :O Blood will be spilt in the name of the emperor and Khorne tonight. This is a teaching game to teach fools not to mess with Space Marines >:D.
-
Now that I'm working, I appreciate Thursday 40k so much more. It's true.
Grey Knights & Necrons vs Space Marines & Chaos Daemons. This game ended in a draw. 1000 points of Khorne is surprisingly easy to play. Move, run, kill. I should probably try this more often.
Orks vs Tau. The Greater Green prevailed.
Was there a third game? It was a strange night, where the store seemed reasonably busy and I was extraordinarily busy.
-
Daemons Had a Quick Game against Orks right at the end of the night I believe. Don't know the results though.
In other News. More Bikes for the Bike God. Got some more Bikes and the Marvel RPG Book. Going to be a busy week for me.
-
Orks did win against the Demons there at the end, but I wouldn't put much stock in it...heck, I was helping them learn to play. How the heck did that happen???
As for the Greater Green beating the Tau, it is just because the Tau stole Ben's dice for the outflanking Kroots attacks.
Althought, not that it matters, Orkses never lose. Dakka, Dakka, Dakka
-
Orks did win against the Demons there at the end, but I wouldn't put much stock in it...heck, I was helping them learn to play. How the heck did that happen???
Pretty much the same way it happened to me, I suppose. I don't remember exactly how it started, but suddenly people wanted to learn from me.
I'm probably going to regret saying this, but my Daemons are itchin' to challenge your Orks. I figure you have enough games under your belt to handle their craziness.

Cool, I am up for it. I will not be there this week, so Fateweavers eating of my Orks will have to wait another week.
-
Got my mandatory Lieutenant overtime for this week out of the way today, so looks like i'll finally be able to make Thursday 40k again with my Grey Knights
-

I was just going to PM you, see if you were still alive. :) Sweet!
-
Hoping to make it up this week. Need Green Stuff. anyone doing Doubles practice at all?
-
anyone doing Doubles practice at all?
People *should* be. 1250 points, floating FOC slots. But I suspect people are more likely just to show up and play whatever.
-
(http://www.monkeyboobies.com/gallery/d/221-1/drive+me+closer_+i+want+to+hit+them+with+my+sword.png)
Here is my Dilemma do I come to 40k on Thursday or go hang out with the Chick from work i've been interested in......... Leaning to 40k.
-
Ben, Wife's plans have changed for tonight so I actually will be about to come tonight. So if your Daemons still want to have a go at my Orks I will be there.
-
Women are not plastic space men, so I'm trying to figure out why we have two posts in a row mentioning them. Disregard women, acquire 40k.
I'll be there this evening, so if Rob want to throw down, I say it's about high time greenskins took on the Warp's finest and fiercest.
Pat, no woman will protect you from all the threats of a the dark, cold galaxy. Unless she's a Sister of Battle, and then Mat Ward will just kill her anyway.
-
I'll be there tonight with doubles list in hand! Bringing a newish Chaos Marines player as well with 1250!
-
There's a chance a dude that recently bought Black Reach will be in tonight looking to learn the game.
-
Busy Busy Night at Thursday 40k. Not one Not two but Matt had to put up 3 Extra Tables for tonight.
Space Marines on Motorcycles Vs Grey Knights
Space Marines,Tau Vs Blood Angels,Chaos Space Marines
Chaos Daemons Vs Orks
Blood Angels Vs Grey Knights
Grey Knights Vs Necrons
Dark Eldar Vs Chaos Daemons
Chaos Space Marines Vs Grey Knights
One other Game with Necrons in it Dont remember the match up though.
-
One other Game with Necrons in it Dont remember the match up though.
I saw a bunch of Razorback/Rhino hulls in a box formation, so that narrows it down. Grey Knights, I believe.
Totally kick-butt Thursday 40k! I'm seeing new faces on a regular basis, but tonight there were four or five new people, so we put on a good show. Three extra tables is a record number of extra tables.
I taught Rob and his Orks two things tonight. 1) Moving vehicles more than 6" is a good thing vs assault. 2) Trash-talk happens.
-
I popped by to pick up loot for my new army... saw like 10 games going on including a bunch of familiar faces from the tournaments. It looks like a great time, and I wish I could have stayed to play! Maybe next time.
-
That was Mike(GK) and I (Speeder 'Crons)
-
More like cheater crons!
-
My old DI said;
"If you ain't cheatin you ain't trying!"
If I did cheat you it was out of ignorance :)
-
There were 2 games of Crons v Grey Knights.
-
Question for any Blood Angels players out there. Baal Predator is it worth it and how do you have it decked out.
-
This was the last conversation on the forum about Baal Preds. It was quite lengthy, because the Baal has many good options.
http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=3693.0

BG will be closing at 10 PM this Thursday, so plan your games accordingly.
-
I may be looking for a New Partner for the Doubles Tournament anyone still not have a partner that is looking?
-
My horoscope for Thursday.
You have taken on a strong leadership role in your group, and you need to embrace that -- whether you are truly comfortable with the role or not. If you have any misgivings, it is very important that you do not let them show right now. Your bravado will help calm everyone, and it will keep everyone focused on positive things (instead of gossip and grudges). People are looking to you for guidance, so give it.
My bravado is now sanctioned by the stars. You have all been warned.
-

Awesome!
Ben for president!
check his birth certificate first, i don't think he was born in this country... most likely Narnia
-
Whatever the heck I said last week on the forum to get the store overflowing with 40k, I repeat that now for this week with even more emphasis.
At least I'd like to think it was something I said... Maybe someone posted something on Facebook and I missed it.

Works for me, I'll be trying to get up. I hate my job sometimes, never lets me have a Thursday night off! On that note, off to work I go!
-
I found a guards man in my room with a medic pack it cost 25 points for the upgrade and 4 points for the guards man.
So i am looking for a 29 point pick up game. Fully paint army only please i don't want to hear any excuses. I will be there around 7pm. No earlier no later no bullshit. THANKS ((CATFACE)).
:3
-
29 points? That's a Bloodletter and a Nurgling base. You don't stand a chance!
-
i'll be there tonight with my Grey Knights
-
Im trying to get back into 40k. I've been away for awhile and really would like to start playing again, i can make it most Thursdays (basically whenever i don't work), i live 5min down the rad from the Plainville store actually. I can play anywhere between like 1250 and 5000pts. Im just looking to learn the rules and gameplay again, i know most basic stuff.
-
Anyone up for doubles practice (1250 each) tonight?
And Eric, there should be plenty of people around any given Thursday to show you the ropes.
-
First, forum whaaat?
To business.
Solid night of 40k, some regular players, some new players. I really like what I'm seeing, and hope we can all keep it up!
Chaos Daemons vs Space Marines. My power armor never stood a chance.
Tau vs World Eaters. Tau shot quite a bit, not enough cover saves were made.
Orks vs Necrons
Tau vs Necrons
Blood Angels vs Grey Knights
-
First, forum whaaat?
My words exactly
-
I have no answers other than that this may be a side effect of moving things over to the new site.... Let me check...
Well, it's definitely under development. The forum on the new site now links to a clone of this, only our theme and templates aren't correct. That's probably why things look all goofy.
I'm sure it'll be okay in a few days. If not, I'll bitch until it is.
-
Hmmm, Boyz vs the tinheads was very interesting. Kind of strange chopping somefing that doesnt make noise when you hit em.
Although, Dethrolla vs Monolith (Dethrolla won) is a lot of fun.
Was thinking I needed a 3rd BW, but with the stuff I have seen about the Ork flyers (Dakkajet, Blitz and Burna Bomber) I think I am going to hold up a bit. I LOVE the idea of making the Great Ork LuftWaaaagh!

I know of two good teams looking for 1250 Doubles practice this Thursday. I'd simply pair them up against each other, but it'd sure be nice to throw them an unexpected challenge!
If you want to coordinate a team with someone, you've got a couple days notice to get your lists together and get them tournament legal. If you want to just show up with any ol' 1250 points, that's perfectly fine too. In these matches, moving models around as a team is more important than simulating a tournament.
-
I may or may not be there this Thursday. I have work and it just happens to be from 6-9 which is when most people are either playing or showing up. I will however try to start making it a regular thing for me to show up for Thursdays and possibly Saturdays (i know Saturday is usually also a big 40k day as well).
-
If I can make it out this week I would be willing to team up with someone to give the guys that want to practice for the tournament a run for their money.
Fun Fact, did you know it takes an entire can of Chaos Black Primer to prep a Stompa...
-
your using it wrong.
-
Bah, Whole Can = Exaggeration
1 whole can of primer on a stompa and you wouldn't see any of the detail through the 0.100 inches of paint.
-
Don't know If I will show up this week. Putting together pieces and getting them primed. Drop pods are the most boring models I have ever had to put together. They are just a repetition of the same parts over and over. Nothing exciting or appealing that you can do with them.

May not be interesting to put together, but could be a ton of fun to paint one of those. I have been itching to get one to paint, but not worth the $$ since i don't know if or when I would actually field it. All those doors are a blank canvas waiting for some detailed freehand work!
-
Anyone looking for a 2000 pt game this week?

I agree once you get it together and primed it going to be a lot of fun to paint. But you can't do any conversion you can't magnetize much on it. Its an 89 piece model to put together just so you can paint the doors.
-
Kinda quiet on the Doubles front... so who wants to be my partner for tomorrow night? I'll bring my Spehss Mahreens.
-
My Orks are out this week. My bride is taking my father-in-laws Celtic season tickets for the game tomorrow.
I guess I will use the time to get some paint on the Stompa.
-
I don't think I will make another Thursday 40k until after May. Financial issues at the house have me saving every single penny I can. Getting some quality time to work on Painting my Army though. Goal by the end of May is to have a 1500 point list painted and ready to field.
-
Hey Ben, I'll be a doubles partner for you or I could play a 2000pt game. Whatever, I'll show up around 630
-

Saving up to buy another hat? Seems prudent.
-

That would be cool with me. I'll endeavor to have eaten dinner by then.
-
i should be there tonight with my GKs, 2000, 1250, whatever somebody needs practice with
-
The store was so busy tonight, I forgot to eat dinner. Whoops.
Grey Knights vs Necrons, twice
Chaos Space Marines vs Eldar, a well-fought draw
Blood Angels & Tau vs Blood Angels and Grey Knights
Chaos Daemons & Dark Eldar vs Tau & Grey Knights, then restarted with some different configuration
Another tables with Necrons and... a mental block. The guy's name was John, though.
Necrons vs Assault on Black Reach
Lots of people, lots of energy. Wish I were home before 2 before getting up at 7. Whoops.
-
BEN!
I will be returning to 40K in June for a few weeks. I will bring armies.
-
Sweeeet, peeps coming back for more. :)
Also, our Thursday 40k #1 in our hearts and #1 in Google searches!
googling thursday 40k (https://www.google.com/search?q=thursday%2040k&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&source=hp&channel=np)

For this Thursday, I know there is a tournament coming up (and I will bring a doubles capable army if everyone just wants to play doubles to practice), but I was wondering if anyone wanted to take a go at my new Ork Stompa?
-
A bunch of matches tonight.
Eldar vs Necrons
Assault on Black Reach Demo
Doubles practice: BA & IG vs BA & Tau
Space Wolves vs another power armor army...
-
ben and I had a fist fight. i won made to many armor saves.
-
My teammate and I are looking for a practice match this week to prepare for the upcoming Doubles tournament.
Get ready for the cream of the crop!

SNAP!
Unbeknownst to me when I posted, today's the first anniversary of the Macho Man's death.
One more tribute post, then back to the business of finding a Doubles match...

So... Tomorrow's Thursday, last Thursday before the Doubles tournament. Have you and your partner practiced yet? Because I and my partner have not, but would like to.
-
Doubles, Singles, Invitationals, and Megabattles...
..and super sick looking flyers.
Lots to talk about this Thursday.
ps. If you see this and want one of the new flyers, please let Matt know.
-
How much are the Flyers going for anyone know?
-
They are all 45.50
-
pat where have you been? rumor is you have no money from buying to many hats.
-
The Doubles practice game tonight went pretty miserably for my partner and I. It wasn't a good match up and really my dice made it worse. The tournament should be better, provided we don't have the same match up...
There was a group of new players I threw together. They chatted and played some games, real casual like. Good stuff.
Pretty quiet all around this Thursday. Everyone is in agreement that the Ork bommas (because it should be spelled that way) are awesome.
-
A big financial issue hit home since we didn't qualify for some government financial crisis criteria the Bank/Mortgage company was saying we need to pay 7000$ by June 1st. Now my Parents didn't have enough so both my Brother and I dropped everything we were planning for May including New Pieces and the Doubles so we could help out.
I should have used all that spare time to Get pieces painted but Diablo 3 came out and since it was already payed for.
I will probably be showing up Next Week with a 1500 Points list for the upcoming singles tournament.
-
Ahhh, Orks are now done and I can start painting my Dark Angels...wait...what is that...a bomma....
*sigh*
Guess i am not done painting Orks. Better make sure that I have enough magnets so I can run those bommas the 3 different ways without buying a crapton of kits.
-
So I just finished the tournament yesterday when it was announced the Singles Tournament is June 16th... So soon! I'll only have three Thursdays to practice with a brand new (to me) army.
I'm pushing hard for 1500 practice games for myself. I have a list that is serious business, so no more of this crazy unpredictable shooting-impared Daemon baloney. Time to inch my way toward effectiveness!
-
I should be there this thursday with a 1500 pt list for practice, might be the only thursday i can fit in before the 16th... i suppose i should probably make a 1500 pt list now lol
-
Jason, I'm down for that match if you're down. It's been awhile!
-
Jason, I'm down for that match if you're down. It's been awhile!

You have to check BG Facebook page for the caption. Or start attending more tournaments where my name is misspelled. I'm pretty sure now it'll be done intentionally for the lulz.

An excellent Thursday 40k!
Grey Knights & Space Marines vs Orks
Necrons vs Grey Knights
Blood Angels vs Chaos Space Marines
Necrons vs Space Marines
Grey Knights vs Space Marines
Grey Knights vs Orks
These games happened simultaneously, meaning there were 4 GK players, 3 Space Marines and so on. This actually resembles more of a tournament composition than a typical Thursday 40k.
-
Pulled a Lot of data out of my match. Going to make some changes to my list for next week.
-
looks like power armor is replacing tau oh man....
-
Bill Mcfadden will you be at Thursday 40k this week and would you be willing to talk to a friend of mine? He would like to talk to you about the company you work for.
-
Win a Callidus Assassin this Thursday! Show up, play some 40k and one random lucky player will walk out with a sweet mini. The model is most definitely painted to a table-top standard, and certainly better than I could do myself. Drawing at 9 PM, sharp. Unless I'm distracted.
I'll be looking for a game again this week, only two Thursdays before the next Singles tournament.
-
Crap, and I am out the next few weeks because of a conference

Bugs can present problems for my army, so yeah, let's do this! And maybe you'll win a Callidus Assassin, because you're not winning the game. Welcome back to the trash talk!
Ben for president!
Before any formal proclamations are made, you should know my last attempt to run for any Presidency resulted in me wearing the same suit for 9 days straight, my name being removed from the ballot and a public protest resulting in computer monitor destruction. Also, it was my campaign that had I won, I would have resigned immediately. So that's my disclaimer.
-
I will be there this Thursday hopefully with a Pair of Painted Drop Pods. Im sick of painting Green.
-
Ha! Funny you say green, Pat.
Win this Thursday by winning this, Thursday!

I can do this

A busy night again, two extra tables set up. We would have had enough tables normally, but some insufferable Warmachine players keep having fun in our space. ;)
Sisters of Battle vs Dark Eldar
Tyranids vs Deathwing
Chaos Marines vs Orks
Grey Knights vs Space Marines
Grey Knights vs Orks
And then there were a bunch of games in the corner table, where the new players pushed around smaller forces all night. This is a brilliant idea I stumbled across, and it seems to be working fairly well.
Jason won the Callidus Assassin.
-
Seems like all the grit and balls belonged to the 40k players tonight.
Awesome news on that front. :)
-
This week Thursday 40k is giving away a metal Black Templars Emperor's Champion, same deal as last week's giveaway. As if practicing for Saturday's 1500 point Singles tournament wasn't motivation enough to throw down!
(http://i50.tinypic.com/aa9ily.jpg)
-
I love that Sword Makes him feel more Old School Knight.
I need a game this week who is up for the Challenge of High Speed Mobile Space Marines.
-
looks like one of my paint jobs from a year ago
-
I have probably bought more of this model than any other metal blister.
These give-aways are awesome!
-
It's certainly a generous and unforeseen way in which Ben is utilizing that stuff.
I'm glad it seems to be making people happy. :)

Here I was thinking my DakkaJets were really really bad tonight....then I get home and realize that those SupaShootas are twin linked...with all the ones I rolled tonight maybe they would have done better if I could remember how my own units work.
-
Busy, busy night tonight.
Three extra tables, but only because one real table ended up being extra-terrain bitch. That's what happens when no one puts terrain away and no one pulls the table out from the corner.
Tonight's fight card featured:
Orks vs Tau
Blood Angels vs Chaos Space Marines
Space Marines vs Space Marines
Deathwing vs Space Wolves
Space Marines vs Sisters of Battle
Grey Knights vs Dark Eldar
There was also a demo game using Necrons. The new guy, Gus, won the Black Templar Emperor's Champion model.
-
Cool.
I love when new players win stuff.
Also, if anyone wants to show up tonight at like 10pm to help me set up tables and terrain, that would be cool. Although you might be there late.
-
Need that time to last minute get everything together. If I went though I would probably sleep outside in my car for the tournament :P.
-
What point Value should we aim for this week folks . Chuck out an Idea and lets get some fun Tourney Recovery Games going this week.
-
We will be taking a break from the tourney scene for a while as we learn 6th edition, folks.
The next 40k event is the Feast of Blades qualifier on August 4th. 2000 points. Not sure what edition it'll be run in though... I need to look into that.
-
Yeah, I'm fine with the break. There's a line of not-yet-tournament people who'd like to play against me. And when 6th Edition drops, I'll have to figure out how to teach people that.
-
:3 You learn the rules Ben and you teach those Rules to the new players.
I kinda want to do a last hurrah to 5th before it disappears. Its the First Edition I have really learned a majority of the rules for and it feels saddening were leaving it now for a newer edition. :( :(
-
:3 You learn the rules Ben and you teach those Rules to the new players.
Then I watch those players play better than I. Like Ben Kenobi, I get cut down by my students every week, only to become more powerful than they could possibly imagine.
-
So tomorrow is Thursday. That happened really fast.
I owe some people games, and for those players, it'll be first come, first serve.
I won't bother teaching anyone for at least the next month, since I expect everyone to be teaching each other the new edition. I can't wait for Sam to freak out on someone after the zillionth rules question.
-
Last night was good, except for the part where I came home and had no Internet connection.
Deathwing vs Space Marines. My teaching game for Max resulted in me nearly being tabled. Just one Terminator left on the board after 7 turns. Did I mention I was supposed to be teaching him?
Orks vs Space Wolves
Orks vs Sisters of Battle... I think?
Three new guys I didn't get the chance to meet, maybe Necrons and Dark Eldar?
Orks vs IG
And I'm pretty sure I'm missing a game. Should've taken notes. :P
The Green Tide washes over us!
-
Waaaaaagh!- that is all.
-
Tons of Orks and a Space Wolf appearance? Cool!
-
Even an Imperial Guard player too. Unusual night, but I was very happy with it.
-

Hmmmm someone else foolish enough to play guard? I might have to try and set up a game with him!
-
Imperial Guard are really good. But Plainville doesn't have a dedicated "IG guy" who's played them a long time and can help out other IG players. My expertise is (5 guys + 2 melta + 1 chimera) x as many as you can fit + heavy weapons = list win.
-
It is too bad I missed last night. Seeing that many boyz would have made me happy.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!
-
My expertise is (5 guys + 2 melta + 1 chimera) x as many as you can fit + heavy weapons = list win.
Ten guys with three meltaguns. Or ten guys with one meltagun and maybe one guy with a heavy if you're going for armor saturation. IG don't take five-man squads (with the exception of Storm Troopers, who, if they're taken at all, generally DS).
-
See, that's why we need an IG guy... who's not moving soon.
-
See, that's why we need an IG guy... who's not moving soon.
Ive honestly though about it ben since my army lists lean towards shooting vs assault anyway. maybe the allies thing in 6th ed will be the push for me to buy some IG... I do like tanks

I'm willing to step up to the challenge as well. No need for me to buy guard, I've got plenty plenty plenty of guard.. both built and unbuilt!
-
Alright after a boring day at the fire station and using said boring day to look up IG stuff online i kinda want a mech IG army now, put in a couple Deathstrike and Manticore missles launchers that look like TONS of Orcish nonsensical fun and paint the whole army red with a mother Russia theme.
I blame Ben for this, he's a bad influence on my debit card
I suppose i should probably wait a week and see what 6th edition is going to do to IG first before i buy a new or used IG army lock stock and barrel... (pun intended)
-
Mmmmm, a bunch of IG tanks with Ork Drivers....Orks with IG guns....
These are allies I could really get behind.
-
This whole "allies" thing might end up being absolutely amazing for the game in every respect.
I really, really hope they've done done a great job with it and that it doesn't flush some of the "fluff" down the drain.
I'm super interested to read the boards after people get a chance to digest what it all means. ;)
-
Allies are for the weak!
-
It is going to be interesting to see how this will play out. I have a feeling it will be utterly broken.
I am making the call now, the top tournament armies are all going to be running GK with IG allies....
-

I disagree with this I think IG mech is going to get a HUGE hit possibly. The way they are talking about removing the randomness of the Damage Vehicle Chart and making it Hull Points I think a Majority of IG Mech is going to be rather Fragile to make up for the number they can put out.
I am excited I think Land Raiders are going to make a Comeback since they won't be so random. It will take more than One Melta to take them out so if you have one on the field its going to attract a lot more firepower than 1 or 2 melta guns to take it down.

This Thursday 40k is our Farewell to Fifth Edition! 6th is releasing this weekend, and so this will be (unofficially, of course) the last Thursday 40k featuring 5th rules.
So what does that mean? There will probably be a cake. And I'm giving away another model! It's... um... it's sort of a... not a GW model... so it's... Well, it's cool, that's what.

@Robert Camp
Thanks for that tip about the Army Painter colored primer tonight, that is going to be a HUGE help for my upcoming IG project.
your Orc jets came out awesome, and is pretty much the exact red i was looking for
-
Tonight was a really great send-off for 5th Edition. To paraphrase my short speech given atop a chair,
Warhammer players! Thank you for coming out to this send-off for 5th Edition. It's been good to us. We have after my own heart some 500 point games. In the back, a huge 4000 point game. Bill McFadden won this awesome, ugly model, rolling a natural 20. *light applause* ["Get to the cake!"] I'm getting to the cake. Free cake! In summary, to 5th Edition which brought us mechanized armies, TANKS for the memories! [*groaning*]
That's how I feel about 5th. Tanks for the memories. My great hope for 6th is that it is just as fun. I really don't care about anything else.
-
Tanks for the cake and the co-worker story!
-
So there's this new book out for 40k... think it's called SITH Edition or something that sounds like that... anywho
I will be there from 6pm Thursday (or earlier if somebody is looking for afternoon games) and i'm not leaving until we make Sams head explode with rules questions or Ben "The Boulander" MacLeod stops rolling snake eyes on assault charge rolls!
whichever comes first...
i'm putting my money on Sams head exploding
don't wear your favorite geek shirt because it will likely get brains on it (very hard to wash out you know)
-
@PhoenixFire I hope that primer works out for you. I love the idea of the soviet themed IG. I love the idea of Soviet and Nazi themes for IG...it just fits. If I ever made IG, I think I would use 28mm Waffen-SS minatures.
And thanks for the compliment on the DakkaJets. I was happy how they turned out, and a painting hack like me always likes hearing that people like what I have done.
-
Most rules Questions are easy to figure out without going to Sam. The book is very clear this time around outside of a few instances. Every time I asked a question from an explanation the person opened his book and we found a clear concise answer to it very easily.
Bikes are Better. Artillery is better. Blast is Better. In general my whole army list is better from 6th :3.
-
Yeah, this Thursday begins our grand adventure into 6th. People are going to ask me rules questions, and they probably shouldn't. I'm not a good "rules" guy. I'm hoping to find time to actually read this book. Very little reading got done today at the 6th Launch event.
-

How are you finding that bikes are better, just the true 5T? Or is there other stuff in the book I haven't gotten to yet?
-
Just the T5 itself is a godsend. I dont know about other things about bikes yet I still don't have my rule book but what this does is basically makes it so Melta and Las doesn't certify an instant kill on a Bike so Attack Bike Squads won't just die to 3 lascannon shots it will take 6 making them a much more durable squad to have. Putting say a Librarian,Chaplain, Captain, or Chapter Master on a Bike will mean that they can go up against Power Fists and Thunder hammers in close Combat without just popping from a single attack getting through which is the downside to most Space Marine HQs. Hammer of Wrath makes them slightly better at assault though not much. Jink gives them a 5+ cover save all the time basically a Terminatour armour invuln. They are Still Relentless. Turbo-boosting happens in the shooting phase so they can then change directions while doing it. so you can basically get where your going with a 3+ cover if you don't want to shoot something.
Bikes IMO are going to be the downside of Flyers. A Flyer can only move a 90 degree Pivot Bikes are going to have the speed to always be behind that flyer giving it nothing to shoot at while Bikes focus on the rest of the army or take potshots at the Flyer from a Safe Position.
Artillery is going to be Tougness 7 have 2 wounds and a 3+ save meaning that its not treated as a vehicle giving it cover saves. Wounds are done the same way as regular units so you put the gun up front and its going to die before your squad but your denying victory/KPs when the gunners scatter. Techmarines Bolster Defences also work on ANY cover now making Thunderfire cannons a more durable survivable model than before.
I love these small things that changed they may not seem like a lot to the mainstream but I like it :D.
-
Whos up for a Game Thursday. Name the Point Value and I will bring Bikes.
-
I think there's going to be another wave of 500 Point games this week, which is a really good thing. Should help with the learning curve quite a bit, let the new players get in on the action and allow for multiple games in an evening.
-
500-750 does seem like the perfect value to learn and get used to the new rules. I'm hoping I can be up there, but I might not make it. Work has messed with our hours again and I'm now going in at 8pm instead of 2 the following morning.
-
hi.
-
The 4th has everyone questioning what day it really is. Yes, today is really Thursday.
-
Ben, want to play a 1850 game tonight?
-
I am planning on being there tonight. Any body else want to throw down a couple of 500pts games with da Orks?
-
I'm up for some small pt games tonight.
-
Hi.
-
Five extra tables tonight. Five! Definitely a record, and I don't know if we'll ever be able to exceed it. Too many games to mention, which is a great thing!
6th Edition reaction seems generally positive and I love how people are handing the new rules during the course of a game. Everyone seems to be on the same wavelength. Careful, no one breathe on the house of cards!
-
5 extras tables makes me so happy. :)
-
Wow, sounds like it was a good night! Wish I didn't have to work :( I might have to start taking Thursdays off so I can get up to play.
-
I'm looking for a 2000pt game this Thursday.
-
I'm looking for a 2000pt game this Thursday.
I'll play you. What's your name? I'm Matt.
-
Cryptoron is Ron. I'll make sure you two find each other... Seriously, it's getting crowded these days.
Speaking of crowding, I think it would be a good thing for people to consider playing Doubles matches on the nights when things are especially busy. More tables being set up is cool, but Doubles saves us from taking over the entire store... which isn't a bad thing. What am I trying to say here?
-
I want 40k guys to take over the entire store on Thursdays.
It'll be great once people start calling for another 40k night. As it stands, Sundays (due to the new league) are a decent day for 40k all of the sudden.
That league has proved to be pretty awesome for the store in many ways.
-
I should be there with something completely different (for me at least), so does anyone want to throw down 1850pts this week?
-
I will be able to make it for the next couple thursdays. what time do people start to show up. I will be there with 1850pt and 2000pt lists to play. If anyone is looking for a game just let me know.
-
I'd like to reserve a table for two at 730 please on Thursday. Preferably with a window view and already placed terrain.
-
Hi all
I like to check out Plainville 40K sometime soon what time do you all start playing games on thursdays and when does it end my necrons have been collecting a lot of dust in the 60 million years thay've been in statsis. thay are awaking
Thanks
Dave
-
I think most players get there between 5 and 6 and I think saying 10 or 11 is when it dies down.
-
Dan has an 1850 list. Rob has an 1850 list.
Now, I have an idea. It's just crazy enough to work. Dan and Rob should play each other.
:o
Dave, Thursday 40k usually gets into the swing of things around 6:00-6:30. Usually by 7, everyone who is there will be everyone who will be there.
-
I'm looking for a 2000pt game this Thursday.
Still looking for that 2000 pt game? Looking to practice for Feast of blades.

Wow Ben, you are amazing at 40K match making....Chase should ask you to orginize Thursday nights or something. :P
Actually, that sounds cool. I would love to get slaughtered by someone new to me.
-
Yep, still looking, What time is good for you?
-
6?
-
I think ill drop in this thursday. I havent been able to get to the BG in awile. Im looking forward to trying out 6th ed.
So, anyone up for a game thurs? Any where from 1k to 4k. :)
-
Going to try and get up myself. All depends if I get the night off from work or not. They've already given some people a second night off, hoping they just didn't get the chance to see me yesterday.
-
6 sounds good see you then.
-
Sooooo. Anyone up for a game tonite??. Anyone?
-
Hey guys, looks like I'll be joining you every THursday ;D
-
Another Thursday, another bunch of things learned about 6th edition
and another bunch of questions to make Sam wrack his head lol
-
What was the turnout like? I'm curious!! :)
-
Busy, I think. (not a regular on THursdays, took me 2 hours to get down there)
Ron, I had a great game!
-
I didn't catch your name sorry, but to the person I spoke to about attaching a cryptek to a Deathmarks squad and using the Hunters from Hyperspace rule, in the faq it states:
Q: Do models from a Royal Court that are attached to a Deathmark Squad benefit from the Hunters from Hyperspace special rule? (p90)
A: Yes
So it does indeed work! Enjoy an AP1 flamethrower that wounds on a 2+!
To Ben:
Pg 122. Victory Conditions, First rule paragraph.
"Likewise, if at the end of any game turn, one player has no models on the battlefield, his opponent automatically wins."
Tonight was fun, got to test out some new 'nids, the Shrikes did really well. I think they would be too much overkill against another swarm, but against anything with good armor they really clean up.
-
Had a great game with Dan's GK tonight...actually, who am I kidding. Dan kicked my Ravenwing's butt. Very, very good army. I feel bad he drove up for such a short game.
Maybe when I get a new Dex for one of my armies I can make it to turn 4 before I get completely destroyed....or just a bunch of MegaNobz.
-
Got two games in tonight Played Roberts and Guss from the Escalation league in a 1000 point and 750 point game respectively.
I think we had 8 or 9 tables with games going all night. I think a large group of people even squeezed in 2 games which is good people grasping onto the rules.
Folks playing Chaos Space Marines going to start learning another language soon. FAQs in French, Spanish, and German make Chaos Daemon Princes from the CSM Codex Flying Monstrous Creatures. Don't learn Italian cause they have the same rules as us Americans.
-
it was 9 tables.
-
I looked up after my match with James and saw a room full of 40k, 9 tables strong. There was a doubles match that broke out later, too.
There were three games of Daemons vs Necrons and in each game the Necrons trounced the Daemons. It's really eye-opening how much the Chaos Daemons codex sucks in this edition. I don't need that right now.
Good too to see Ben Mohile before he departs for southern pastures. His game against Bill, most of which took place between imagination and index cards was quite amusing. It also confirmed one theory I had running about 6th Edition, but I'm afraid I have to keep that to myself. Secret NOVA plans abound.
-
I think I also learned last night that the Dark Angels are staying in the box until the new Codex Drops.
-
Aww, c'mon guys, let's not do the "demons, DArk Angels can't do it thing"
DA I can see a little, but I had high hopes for Demons this edition. What was the problem, generally? (besides playing Ben Mohlie)
Just from theorycraft, I was thinking Necrons would be the king of 6th. It looked like Ben had 3 nightscythes and I saw an Dark Eldar flyer over there?
-
I looked up after my match with James and saw a room full of 40k, 9 tables strong. There was a doubles match that broke out later, too.
I think that doubles was a four player free for all. Looks like shooting centric green tides might have potential in 6th. If you can't hit a thing anyway, move and snapshot seems like a pretty good deal. All the noise of shooting, and you get closer to the other guys!
-
I think I also learned last night that the Dark Angels are staying in the box until the new Codex Drops.
Wouldn't shelve DA, they make great Battle Brother Allies. A couple squads of scoring terminators to accent another list, yes please!
-

Yeah, well I play Ravenwing and my primary Army is Orks. No battle brothers with DA.

It was a 4 way 500pt kill team. Nid, Deathwing, Orks, and Codex Marines.
I think Orks as a green tide shooty army will be decent in 6th. Lootas are awesome, so are dakkajets. Tankbustas are pretty darn good now. Artillery is really nice now too. (if time and money were not an issue, a confederate themed waaagh would be awesome). If FW goes mainstream, I am thinking an alliance with a dread bash Mob will be pretty good (already have the grot tanks for it, just need a Mega-Dred). I think my mobs will end up dropping alot of their PKs in favor of shooty Nobz. All an Ork player needs now are some MegaNobz that are not 23$ a pop.

I wanna know the secret NOVA plans! I'm not going.

DA I can see a little, but I had high hopes for Demons this edition. What was the problem, generally? (besides playing Ben Mohlie)
For me, in a word, Overwatch. Most Daemons infantry are T4 with a 5+ invulnerable save. Every wound is about 15-20 points worth, given different models. I charge into Assault, like I'm supposed to, and I get penalized.
IMO, A unit should have to choose between shooting normally or shooting Overwatch (with some bonuses) during the next player turn. A sort of "don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" sort of thing.
So one workaround I discovered is that I need to hit one squad with multiple attackers, since Overwatch can only be triggered once. But that also increases the likelihood that I win the assault on my turn, which is really bad for T4/5++ models.
Overall, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't. But what else could I expect from Daemons? They just didn't pass the smell test.
Swooping, didn't see what the big whoop was.
Smash attacks were okay, but halving the number of attacks to do so is really brutal.
Losing 4+ cover is fairly devastating. I can compensate by buying more models in each infantry squad... which I am not really going to do.

http://daemons40k.blogspot.com/
Thoughts?

I am not sure who that person is but it seems like they are waaaaay off base with what they are talking about. That daemon prince build is far from the best to use just to name one. What does he plan to accomplish with the vector strike at str 5? Also the bloodthirster is the 2nd best thing in that book now, second only to nurglings.....I dunno, has a few good points but in my OPINION he doesn't see the big picture.
I feel like overall Daemons got way better in 6th when paired with CSM but our already terrible troops got way worse between overwatch and not being able to go to ground and reduced cover. The flying necron list is the achilles heel. IMO that list is currently going to destroy everything that isn't IG if played correctly. It is unmatchable firepower that cannot be defended against and no downside to their units for the craft being shot down. More units will get skyfire and eventually be fine but while that list is out there Daemons just cannot match up against it. I am planning on bringing IG to NOVA because of that one list.
-
You couldn't vector strike his nightscythes?
-
http://daemons40k.blogspot.com/
Thoughts?
Totally agree with Bill. Maybe a couple good points, but just painful to read at times. I can disagree with people, but this author often disagrees with himself. I'll probably start a Daemon-specific thread just to break it down, unit by unit...
-
You couldn't vector strike his nightscythes?
I could and I did. Then got removed from doom scythes and 4 tesla destructors.
-
How many flyers did he bring total?!? I just thought it was the 3 nightscythes?
-
Three night and three doom
-
Alright, the age of WesCron's banana-Crons has officially come to an end. Thursday 40k gave me some great nights. Now (thanks to our pal Gw) I am taking up warmachine.
I leave you with nonessential song with banana.

This Thursday I am pleased to announce another giveaway. This one comes from BG directly, a brand new Space Marine codex. The cover is less than pristine, so it's not good to sell. But it's sure good for us! Practice rolling your d20s, because it's another random giveaway.
-
The daemons link I posted was taken off of the 11th company FB page. I forget who they said wrote it.

The page itself is still up, but holy cow.
In the most recent article about the Flying Circus build, the author recommends people play squads of 5 Daemonettes, and this as part of a list to counter with lots of anti-infantry firepower.

Played Tyranids last night. I even had the divination power that let's overwatch at full BS. But yeah, he did a great job nerfing that with little bits of termagaunts and the like. he'd charge in first with the termagaunts, and yeah, I could maybe even wipe them out, but then the genestealers went munch.
Three night and three doom
That's just......wow. So, like, how do you fight that? Can anyone fight it, besides other necrons and IG players?
-
Tau can take down flyers kind of just like Necron Warriors. Lots of fire and let propability and luck be on your side. Other Flyers can do a decent job but even then the problem lies that Doom Scythes are better at taking down flyers than any other flyers especially with death ray. The only way its going to balance out is when you take away Death Ray from hitting flyers cause then other Flyers have a chance against them.

Other than getting lucky, nothing is efficient at battling it other than IG and necrons. We played another game and I used IG which I won with.
-
What about IG makes the match up good? Hydras and maybe Vendettas seem like they're the only solid counter. I played Rick the other day and most of my army felt useless aside from my flyer.
-

Hydras dont seem worth it to me,
Pros: cheap at 75 points, skyfire+ targetting sytem to ignore jink saves
Cons: takes up a heavy slot, no interceptor rule so its worthless against ground targets
If your really that worried about your vendettas not getting the job done in the air, then pay a couple more points for a aegis defense line or a bastion
-
looking for another game this Thursday, 2000 point practice for upcoming Tournament.
-
I am also looking for a 2000 pt practice for the Feast game. I played Ron last week, so if someone else is up for it, that'd be great, otherwise I'd be happy to play Ron again!
-

I might be able to accommodate you with a 2k game. I was suppose to play rob with his big stompa but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. If he doesnt get back to me soon I will gladly play you thursday
-
OK, keep me posted. I'm looking for something early, around 6.
-
6 might be a little tough. I get outta work @ 5 then I got to eat & shower. Ill push for 6:30. Ok with you?
-
Well, actually, I just got confirmation from my wife that she'll be gone tomorrow night, so 6:30 or even 7 will be fine, if you want.
-
Hey man im gonna have to back out of that game tomorrow. Sorry about that man. Maybe we could get that game in next week.
-
Ok, well, I'll be around looking for a game if someone is up for it.
-
Thursday is here! Still on is the Space Marines codex giveaway for those doing 40k things tonight.
-
Hi, everyone. My name is Chris. I'm new to BattleGround. I've visited the store a couple of times. It's nice. I'd like to play a game or two tonight if possible. I'll be there around 6pm.
-

Yeah, sorry about that. I was slow with responding. Been spending alot of time on campus this week getting my new lab ready.
-
So, if TheFallen can't make it, Robert, you want to do a game?
-
If Nick doesn't make it, sure. I am bringing in 2K with a stompa because
a) I wanted to try it out
b) Nick wanted to blow it up
-

Awesome, i dont think i've seen a stompa up close before
-
So this is an Apocalypse model? ??? Prefer to fight a practice Feast round, but whatever, I'm up for a challenge.
Anyone else looking for a more standard practice round? Bill? You and I have never had a proper game.
-
I should be there around 6pm tonight, have not played any games of 6th yet; or a game of 40k in about a year.
-
Another great night for 40k! Except one thing that I will address last.
8 tables up and running. It was a great cross-section of competitive players practicing and new players learning the ropes.
Daemons vs Necrons
Orks vs Dark Angels
Sisters vs GK
IG vs GK
Eldar vs Necrons
Orks vs GK
And a couple other games whose composition escapes me at this late moment.
I'm slowly getting the hang of 6th, learning something new with every game and every conversation. I think most players are in the same boat. I'm getting very different vibes from very different players, things are very much still shaking out. I learned quite a bit more about how to play with Flying Monstrous Creatures, and more still about how damn annoying Necrons are.
Chris A. won the Space Marines codex!
And now, the bad. After everyone left the store, to my shock I discovered Sam had taken down the Thursday 40k Grit & Balls poster. At least the Templecon poster advertising the event 5 months ago is still up, as is the incomprehensible advertisement for some online class or something. Yup, Sam thought that the kids and parents who never complained were somehow offended, so he took down Grit & Balls to advertise the Pokemon league on Sundays (which by typing that have inadvertently done). Let the truth be known, Sam has a deficiency of grit and/or balls.
-
Celestine is a dirty, dirty girl.
-
She killed what, one model?
-
Another great night for 40k!
Sweet!

Don't let facts get in the way of the Truth.
-
Celestine has grit & balls in spades. And like Celestine, a new Thursday 40k poster will rise against a galaxy of Sam's darkness and tyranny.
-
Dirty, gritty balls? is that the step too far?
-
SO who's looking for a 2000 pt game?
I'm thinking to try out some Tau/GK combos
-
I'll be there tomorrow with an 1850 list of GK i want to try out
-
I'll be there... with something, or other. This is a good plan I have, looking forward to it greatly.
-
I'll be there tomorrow with 2k Necrons.
-
So I heard it was another awesome Thursday 40k!
Rumor says 9+ tables? What were they?
-
A number of tables were playing Warmahordes, but we indeed had another full house.
I remember more who showed up than what they actually played, but it looked like everyone playing was having a good time. 6th Edition has revitalized players' imaginations.
Simon showed off his beautiful new GK army vs Matt W's Space Marines, his last Thursday 40k before moving to New York. Simon and Matt also brought a pile of free terrain and terrain-building supplies, much of which went to new players. The store I think took the remainder.
-
A rarity, but I will not be at Thursday 40k this week. Doctor's orders. Between the feminine wiles of her and her medical assistant, I agreed to rest. Then I found out I wasn't resting with either of them, so not quite what I was thinking.
So if you're reading this, for a night do what I've done for you. If you see some awkward person standing there, just say hello and ask how many points they want to play. It's really that easy. (Oh no, my secrets!) Oh, and give something away, and teach someone how to play an edition you don't understand at all, while answering questions about said edition to up to three people at once. Also, help Matt set up extra tables if needed, ask Sam rules questions just to see him irritated and make fun of Pat's hat.

Rest up Ben, can't have you falling asleep while playing 40k... or more importantly while driving to work on I-95.
Feel better!
-
I need you guys to help me with a little project this Thursday. I'm putting together a little something that I think some of you might be interested in but I'll need the
If a Thursday 40k veteran could take a few minutes of their time (or Matt, if you're reading this and have a minute) and please take down the first names, last names, and email addresses of the people in attendance throughout the night that would be great.
Figures Ben won't be there this week. Bastard.
-
Big Brother!
-
Figures Ben won't be there this week. Bastard.
Sorry! But my doctor is way hot. And the medical assistant, why I should give her your number. I have a physical in two months, so I'll have to make it up to you that way.
-
1) Definitely give me her number. For some reason chicks dig me, sometimes even hot ones.
2) You're not allowed to skip another Thursday 40k ever. Rumors of just 4 tables abound...
-
1) Definitely give me her number. For some reason chicks dig me, sometimes even hot ones.
Bluff Check. Chase has Skill Focus.
-
I'll be returning to Thursday 40k this week. Maybe I'll actually get a game in this time? :)
-
Anyone want to play a 2000 pt game? I'm looking for a lighter game, here. Going to mess around with my Tau, with maybe a small bit of GK in there.
-
Ben if you don't Mind Losing I will play you in a match. Name the points and I will bring the Can of Whoop @*# to give you.
-
Surgery got put off by a week so I should be there. Anyone want to play against a super heavy flyer?
-
Secret figure giveaway this week for Thursday 40k. It's so secret I'm not telling anyone. It's so secret I don't even what it is.
No, really, I actually have no idea what it is, seriously.
I'll post a picture. After the secret giveaway no one knows about!
-
Surgery got put off by a week so I should be there. Anyone want to play against a super heavy flyer?
I like the idea of some Plainville guys messing with Apocalypse.
-
Last Thursday, business as usual. 4 tables.
One of those tables had my Daemons killing exactly zero models.
Space Marines vs Orks
Space Marines vs Space Marines (?), Ken and Max's match
Necrons vs Tyranids, I believe.
This coming Thursday, more of the 40k action you've come to expect.
The great reveal of Thursday's mystery figure, which Evan took home. Does anybody recognize it? My only hint is its circa 1994, and it's about 3" tall.

Hey anyone looking for a game this thursday? Like 1500- 2k would be great.

I'll do a 1999pt game with you.

Guess who's gonna be there for Thursday 40k!?
THIS GUY! WOOO!
-
WHOOO!!!!

Having a hard enough time filling the room without two hats there...
-
Well, I'll play if someone is up for it.
-
Bob, feel free to bring whatever you'll have most fun playing. Sometimes the mirror matches are the most interesting learning matches!
-
I agree with Ben bring what you want to play Space Marines can be built so differently you will be hard pressed to see a match with the same list or build. I will possibly be showing up this week with new ideas for my 1250 list but I can always bump it around to get a match in.
-
Looks like it might be a good Thursday 40k! turnout. I'm excited.
-
I may show up looking for trouble for about 2000 points of Eldar.
-
Ok no promises but there is a chance this thursday will be my first BG Plainville appearance, if I think my car is up for it that is. I feel I should get at least one game of 6e in before the MegaBattle.
-
Nice!
-
Anyone willing to play some Tau? Anyone?

I'll be there by 7:30, make sure to save us a table.

Hate to say I missed the one week Chase was there. Work just decided to take a Thunder Hammer to me both Emotionally and Phyiscally. How many people were playing last night.

I think we had 3 or 4 games going on last night (including myself). It was a good day for Eldar, I think I found my list of doooom
-
This Saturday should be pretty quiet.
There's also not usually much going on as far as 40k goes on Fridays.
-
I had every intention of showing up last night, but I had to work late :(
I might try tomorrow afternoon, I hear it's pretty busy on Saturdays.
Hey Bob, I'll play a game with you on Saturday. I love 6th ed and want to play as many games as possible!
-
Ok, just post on the forum as soon as you know if you decide to go. I'm only going to the store if I know I have a game lined up.
-
I think we had 3 or 4 games going on last night (including myself).
Or seven. :)
It was quite perfect, really. A room full of people, but not crowded. Noise, but not loud.
Tyranids vs Grey Knights
Chaos Space Marines vs Blood Angels
Eldar vs Marines
Tau vs something...
There were definitely more games, I have just been preoccupied with just about everything else. Thursday 40k is one of the few uncomplicated things in my life, and it damn near runs itself. :)
-
I'll be there this Thursday with my IG looking for some 1250 practice
-
@PheonixFire
I can limp in there with 1250 of Orks or DA this Thursday. I haven't played a low points game in a long time.
-

Sounds good Robert, bring whichever you'd like i'm just looking for some practice for the tournament
Also i promise not to kick you in your freshly surgeryed leg... probably
-

I make no such promise!
-
I hope to be there this week. 1250 list.
As my 666th post this needs to be commemorated with something silly.
So a Tau, an Ork, and a Necron walk into an Imperial Bar.
They get a table, and the Tau's buying the first round, so he asks what they want to drink. After some shrugs and general indifference, the Necron says, "Three beers would be good."
The Tau heads over to the bartender, and a moment later returns with four foaming mugs of beer. The Ork raises an eyebrow at him, but the Tau responds, "Three's only good; four, the greater good."
-
I don't know if you should suffer a bludgeoning and be sent to the penal legion for that joke or be given a cookie.
-
Also i promise not to kick you in your freshly surgeryed leg... probably
I make no such promise!
I am feeling the love.
-

Sounds like a tactical... "ambush".... ;)
Sorry... Too soon...? :P
-
Im gonna try to get down there this week. Anyone up for a game?
-

I'll play you, sure. I need to get into the swing of my Tau again. 2000 pts?
-
2k sounds good to me. Ill be there around 7. See ya then.
-
Cool, see ya
-
Is anyone up for a 1250 pt match thursday?
-
Is anyone up for a 1250 pt match thursday?
I think Pat's Hat is still looking for one of those.
-
Well, I'll be there tomorrow night, so whenever anyone is ready, I'll be.
-
3 games lined up in advance, I'm impressed! Makes my self-appointed job much easier.
I'll be there tomorrow night with... a pile of things for people and a winsome smile.
Oh, I should really bring along the Minvitational scenarios as well. They probably should be test-run. Straight-forward stuff.
-
Yes! Definitely bring the scenarios :)
-
Since I am helping Jason practice for the tourney, I am assuming we are going to want to test out one of the scenarios.
-
Hey guys I plan on being their tonight to try out my 1250 list too. :)
-
With 2hr rounds in the tournament we are practicing for you should be able to find a couple of games. I'm up for one if you don't already have an opponent.
-
Fun game with Robert tonight, had to crack the rule book about 2 dozen times so i guess that means we are learning
also if anybody else goes left out of the BG parking lot and heads home the way i do it looks like that Sunoco station right down the street had it's fire suppression system activated because the entire parking lot looked like snow completely covered in dry chem.... oops lol
-

Rumor has it someone backed into a gas pump, and though there was no fire, it did trigger the suppression system. One guy there had a jeep. Now it's dust coated, inside and out.
Another solid night of 40k. 7 tables, and a wide variety of games and armies. Woo!
-
Ron I found your Scatter Die after you left. Solid night lots of fun. Sleep Now soldiers for tomorrow you head once more into the blades of war.
-
Follow up to the Sunoco Snow story.

-
I'm back! I am borrowing an army for the Minvitational and I demand a 1250 practice game, this Thursday.
Fix your suppression systems, because I'm bringing a cyclone of hellfire.

I had every intention of showing up to Thursday 40k again this Thursday, until my mother invited me to dinner.... First time for everything. Here's hoping she's alright. :P
Anyways, if you guys can bug the casual dudes (kids) to see if they're ACTUALLY going to play in the Minvitational that would be awesome. Many of them have expressed interest but have not sent me any email.

I'll bug the casual guys.

Joke about my mom (and Cale's mom) are encouraged. But only on the forum. And please keep them PG-13.

Ben,
Going to need to take a rain-check on our match. my wifes friend passed today and i'll be at a wake Thursday.
-
Jason, no problem at all. Sounds quite awful. :(
I'm quite sure there's a line of people that will step forward to put me in my place.
-
Yo right here. Ill stuff you back in your place.
-
Gus is going to be around tomorrow night and looking for some help with his 1250 list. He's got lots of questions from what I can tell.
I'd love it if someone could play a "tournament practice" game with him and show him what might be expected on Saturday.
Things like this make me think it's probably a good idea if I learn how to play the game... :/
(don't get any ideas, folks)
-

Well, it is a good idea. There's the starter kit dropping, that'll be a fine opportunity for a demonstration.
-
Thanks Ben for playing a game with me. I learned a lot from it and I have a good idea of how to approach that mission type in the tournament. NVM your army I wouldn't be surprised if I see you sitting at Table 1 with me in the last Round.
-
Thank you, too. Definitely, it was a solid learning game. Mostly learning that everything I've ever read from the 6th Edition rulebook is either wrong in theory or wrong in practice. Still working out those 5th Edition tendencies (and expectations), I guess.
Thursday 40k went 7 tables strong, because that's all the tables we had (until Derek showed up later with a vehicle full of Megabattle leftovers). Some tables ran a couple games over the course of the night, so it's all good. A bunch of new players too, friends bringing friends and the like. That's what I like to see!
The specter of Imperial Guard is looming over Plainville. More players are wising up (and paying out) for more dakka dakka.

This is something I love to read. Nothing, NOTHING is more important than new players coming in to check out 40k.

Orks can dakka dakka (isn't that our word anyway) with the best of em....
...hitting em on the other hand....
-
I'll be there Thursday with an 1850 IG list looking for some action
-
Anyone looking to help me try out possible Feast of Blade lists? 2000 pts? Going to be mostly Tau, with some GK.
-
Don't let the short week fool any of you! Tomorrow is Thursday and that can only mean 40k.
It's fun for the whole family, if your whole family plays Warhammer.
The next local tournament is 1850, so I'd aim around there. Bigger games, smaller games, doesn't really matter so long as players play. And players gonna play.
-
Yeah, BG's next event will be 1850 Singles.
Practice people. Practice.
-

-
Well, didn't manage to get tonight off like I wanted... but I don't have to be in until 4am Friday morning. Just as good for my needs, so I'll be heading up. Going to pick up my LE DV box. Won't be bringing my guard with me though, not sure if I'll try and get in a game with my DV forces or not, but we'll see!
-
Pat, I like the list, looks very solid.
As I was looking at it, I had an idea. Drop a Vindicator, and take a Librarian on a bike. Just a thought, as I don't think I've seen you run that.
-
Nope I've never really done it and putting one on a Bike makes it so much more survivable considering they don't have an invulnerable save. It is something to consider. Alternatively I could Drop both Vindicators and Do this.

I wouldn't take 2 HQs. I also wouldn't drop the vindicators completely...they were the only thing keeping me from wanting you to take either more meltas or lascannons (you'd have no way to crack tough vehicles....there's always that guy who takes 3 LRs).
I like the bike captains, bike captains rock, and scoring bikes are awesome. But why give him a relic blade rather than a powerfist/hammer? Artificer armor for your 2+ save is important, but crackign 2+ yourself is just as important.
-
Yeah, BG's next event will be 1850 Singles.
Practice people. Practice.
The date of which will be...? No teasers! I need to plan around all kinds of family stuff the sooner you let me know the sooner I can start begging my wife to go!
-
Pretty good night for 40k last night. (Not so great for me, as I started to feel ill and left early. :-\)
I believe there was a new guy and at least 4 tables.
Necrons vs Necrons
Chaos vs Chaos
Chaos Space Marines vs Blood Angels
Tyranids vs some sort of power armor
Pretty sure a fifth game that started when I wasn't feeling so hot.
A number of people stopped in to visit, but had to leave.

Printing out the new FAQ/Errata right now, and it seems like a good time to mention tomorrow's Thursday. All of those questions you frequently asked, consider them answered.
Again, tournament practice is a good thing. 1850 points. The only thing you have to fear is fear itself... and death in a cold, uncaring universe. Warhams!
-
Anyone up for a game tonight? Any points over 1k.
-
Thursday 40k is still going strong. 5 tables tonight, one of which was a Doubles match.
Me? Well, I'm pretty excited for Blood Bowl. Like, way too excited. Currently killing my ink cartridge printing out the rules.
-

Cool. I have played the video game for BB and it seems like an awesome game. Are there going to be blood bowl games on thursday nights?
-

Not sure about Thursdays, I haven't given the when any thought. If I can figure the game out enough to teach it, I could run demos. The video game has been an excellent preparation tool for reading the rules so far.
-
People seem to pick the game up pretty quickly.
I guess this marks the start of the biennial Blood Bowl fest, where EVERYONE in the WORLD plays Blood Bowl for ~1.5 months. :D
The game is totally awesome. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out, odds are you'll love it.
-
I like the Blood Bowl Video Game a lot and transferring to the table top would be loads of fun I think. The big decision factor is which team you want to play :p.
-

Sweet! Totally looking forward to the next six weeks or so. Gonna be many 1s rolled between now and then!

I'll be there Thursday with 1850 IG looking for some practice
-
I'm going to be giving away a little something to a bunch of people this Thursday.
Nothing fancy, but pretty cool.
-
Free Stuff Tempts me to go to Thursday 40k.
-
I'm going to be giving away a little something to a bunch of people this Thursday.

Everyone loves free stuff, even if it's not fancy.
I'll be there, doing the usual matchmaking.
Rob, I think I'll be ready to run a Blood Bowl demo for you, if you still want to do that. Do you want to bring your own models to use?
-
Ben,
Yeah, I will give it a shot. I will bring some models with me.
-
I never told Matt what the free stuff was to give out. Here's hoping Matt / Ben figured it out.
-
I never told Matt what the free stuff was to give out. Here's hoping Matt / Ben figured it out.
I totally forgot. Matt forgot too. I think. The question of free stuff was asked, but only too late.
Had a few games tonight, smaller 40k crowd, but the store was abuzz with activity.
-
he is going to be giving out free face punches for everyone.
-
Anyone up for a 1850pt practice game this thursday?
-
Nick, are you playing in the 1850 tournament? I don't think you've emailed me about it.
-
Nick, are you playing in the 1850 tournament? I don't think you've emailed me about it.
Im not 100% if I can but im going to try.
-
So, are we getting free stuff this Thursday? I figure if I ask, someone might actually remember. ;)
I know a couple guys are coming down for tournament practice, so 1850 is the target number this week. If you don't have it, don't worry!
-
You'll get free stuff and the scenarios for the tournament will be (mostly) finished for Thursday as well.
-
Nick,
Unless something comes up, I should be there this Thursday. You want some practice on "can I kill 150+ models if I needed to?"
-
Im in. I will gladly rid battlegrounds of its xeno infestation. see ya there rob.
-
Anyone looking for a (realtively competitve) game, 200 pts?
-
>.> 200 points kinda hard to fill out there Matt.
-
He's getting ready for the Kill Team tournament.
(Hell no, we're not running a Kill Team tournament. Kill Team is stupid.)
(There's my unsolicited angry opinion of the day.)
-
right, 2000
-
I think I forgot to post about last week, and I haven't posted about this week yet. Fortunately, they were just about the same. There was limited space due to the epic Magic events during the weekend, but the available tables were full up.
After the tournament, it'll be time to get back to basics. More games focused on learning, rather than playing.
-
Hoping to stop by this Thursday Emperor willing. Get at least one Practice game in before the Tournament.
-
Been by a couple of the Thursday nights to meet some folks...looking forward to getting at least 1000 points done so I can start coming in for some games.
-
Hey Erich, if you can muster 1000 points, there are a number of newer players regularly playing around amount on Thursday evenings. As always, the more the merrier!
-
Finally not on duty on a Thursday. I'll be there this week with 1850 of Vostroyans so i can hopefully get one practice game in before the tourney Saturday lol
-
Hey Erich, if you can muster 1000 points, there are a number of newer players regularly playing around amount on Thursday evenings. As always, the more the merrier!
Thanks! Working on the first 1000 points as we speak...should be in for games in a week or two.
-
There was a really good vibe around the store, despite the post-Ravnica/pre-tournament blowout. We had 7 tables up and running, and there were multiple lengthy conversations about what's new and how to make lists better for 6th Edition. It was the type of night I would point to as one of the finer examples of Thursday 40k since we started almost two years ago.
-
Anyone looking for a fairly serious game tomorrow? 2000 pts?
-
I don't expect to play tomorrow night, but I will be there. Work this week is all like, "That box you moved, now move it over here. Move more boxes, and every other box." It's much more fun organizing walls full of Warhammer stuff. Besides, I liked last week just chatting about 6th. More talk, less action!
-
I'm a freakin' genius. More talk, less action again proved to be the formula for a winning night. We had 6 games, I believe. The best one was a 500 point game that ended with a Chaos Lord dying to a Force Weapon activation, from a Librarian who rolled double 1s and died himself to Perils. That's awesome 40k.
Space Wolves vs Necrons
Tau vs Necrons
IG vs Daemons
Chaos Space Marines vs Blood Angels
Grey Knights vs Dark Angels
Chaos Space Marines vs Space Marines
More importantly to me, we had a prospective player looking to join his friends in the fun and a player returning to the game, who also happens to know Bill and Hans. ("Those guys are terrible at the game, I would do the opposite of everything they say.") So yeah, it's just working out well for me, for the community, for the store, for the other people. Genius! MOAR TAWK.
-
Ben,
You need to find the cheesiest suit you can find and start a 40k talk show. Finding an old TV set from the 70s would be a good start. "Welcome to another installment of 40k Tawk with Beeeeen Booooooooooulangeeer."

I need to find a way to do a little bit more business so I can hire Ben.
-
I need to find a way to do a little bit more business so I can hire Ben.
Step 1: get a liquor license
Step 2: hire Ben as the "wise bartender who dispenses drinks AND advice"
Step 3: avoid serving minors
Step 4: profit
Whatever happened with your "snack license" or whatever Plainville calls it Chase? Dozens of 40k and magic players high on sugar wouldn't hurt your profit margins lol
-
You need to find the cheesiest suit you can find and start a 40k talk show.
Funny you should say that. I need to get a somewhat cheesy suit for Halloween... but not like game host cheesy. That's probably what you're looking for.
Also, I did take a bartending course years ago. I am SafeServ certified. Just sayin'. :)

Funny you should say that. I need to get a somewhat cheesy suit for Halloween... but not like game host cheesy. That's probably what you're looking for.
Also, I did take a bartending course years ago. I am SafeServ certified. Just sayin'. :)

So I might be joining in on the 40k festivities soon......not sure exactly when, but hopefully soon. What time do people show up at?
-
Things usually pick up around 6:30 - 7:00. There are some people who arrive earlier than that, but the room starts to pick up once players get out of work and get some food.
-
Hmm. I will have to make it a point to start swinging by in Nov. I have a good size Necron force ready to go.
-
Fall is upon us, and that's usually a quiet time in general. Just two games tonight.
IG vs Grey Knights
Daemons vs Daemons
Tyler brought his copy of Dust and ran demos for three of us. Pretty straight-forward game, quick too.
A good night overall, for those who were able to make it.
-
Was good to come by talk to folks and see some armies. Soon I'll be in there to get some games.
-
I just wanted everyone to see how awesome
Ben Kent Ben Boulanger is.

Faster than a zooming flyer,
more powerful than Kaldor Draigo,
able to leap tall Nurglings in a single bound!

That's high praise. /cage

Whoa...Ben owns a tie....

Nice.
-
Just so everyone knows, if I don't post up telling you to show up, there's still Thursday 40k. :)
We had one table tonight, but it was a doubles match.
Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines vs Ravenwing and (probably) Blood Angels
Though the store's been quiet, this has actually let me carry on long conversations with people about hobby-related things. I even worked out a few names for my Shark Marines' vehicles.
The November writing thing is taking up one corner of BG on Thursdays, and there's still Commander League too.
-
I am actually saving up some money to hopefully get some new pieces. In the mean time Every Thursday I been painting my Space Marines to at least be 40k related.
-
I will be there Thursday....probably with Necrons in tow.
-
Who has Doubles fever?! I'm admittedly a bit more excited for the 500 Point play-testing.
Both can happen this week.
-
I am planning on being there this Thursday. I actually have a pretty solid DA 1000 pts doubles list, but I have a few ideas bouncing around in my head for 500pts of orks.
-
I can play anything...if that helps. I have over 2k in necrons, guard, and marines each.
-
There was a 500 point game testing the newest 500 point scenario of units in deployment zones giving up double VPs. The game went well from a technical standpoint, and it went well if you were driving Deffrollas into your opponent's army.
There was a 1650 point game between Space Marines and Tau feat. Farsight's ridiculous blob.
There were a couple other games as well, the composition of which escapes me at this late hour.
Next weekend is the Doubles tournament. Get your practice on next Thursday! 1000 points, each player.
-
I'll probably be around tonight looking for some 500 pt rumbles.
-
We had 500 point rumbles, a Doubles practice game and Space Marines vs IG. Winter is settling in, quieter around the store. I'd recommend either arranging a game in advance or having a Plan B, as pick-up games are getting scarce.
-
So Thanksgiving is on Thursday next week. TANKSgiving is on Tuesday. Here's hoping we see some of the Thursday 40k guys this coming Tuesday for some tank hunting.
-
Bring a tank, any tank.

It would help BG greatly this Thursday if people could help by play-testing some prototype Invitational missions.
People are still free of course to show up and do whatever they like. :)

I was planning on showing up with 1850 anyway, which is what the invitational will be as well, if I recall (too lazy to check right now). I'd love to test it out.
-
Invitational is 1850. People can playtest the scenarios with whatever points.
-
I know I always say I will be there....but I will this time and I can play whatever.
-
What time do these things start at because I was going to try and make it tomorrow. I just started with 40k so I can probably only do 500 points maybe 750.
-

First, welcome!
Second, people usually roll in after work, around 6:30-7:00 PM.

Last night was productive!
Blood Angels vs Chaos
Tau vs Chaos
Tau vs Dark Angels
Orks vs Blood Angels
3 of the tables ran prototype Invitational scenarios and there were extensive discussions and brainstorming afterward. If nothing else, I am encouraged by a community with so many ideas!

So now that you have our input the packets will be ready today right? ;)
I Like what you came up with so far and I think you have a good handle on applying missions that are more appropriate to the edition. More troop oriented than 5th and they required a bit more interaction between the players armies, which I am a big fan of. Keep us updated on how things are going and if you need more help!
-
I am happy to hear this.
-
Another new guy going to show up this coming Thursday, the 6th. I might bring a few points worth of Space Wolves or Imperial Guard, but I haven't even played a 6th edition game yet, so I might just come out for introductions and to watch a game or two.

Fantastic! You could likely play a 500 point game as well. But I understand if you don't, I actually learn far more by watching other people play.
-
I'll be there Thursday to test scenarios with 1850 of guard
-
I'll most likely be there tomorrow but probably not till later.
-
Last night was our best showing in a couple months. Four games going at once. Two of them tested out Invitational missions, and the other two featured new players.
Having fun with lists.
5 x 10 scouts
3 x 10 Sternguard
Kantor
Combat squad for 14 scoring units at 1765 points. Season to taste. Could be a thing. :)
Whoops, time for work. 8)
-
I will be rolling in around 6:00 again tomorrow night with some guard. Looking forward to it!
-
BG will be closing "early" at 10 PM this Thursday, because some nerds want to watch a movie.
-
There's a chance I'll come by and delay the closing until 11pm. I see little need to stand in line for 1.5 hrs. Standing in line for 30 min seems a lot more reasonable to me.
Then again, I'm not sure I'll be around the store before heading to the movie.
-
Going to try and make.
-
I'll be there to hopefully try out the new weirdboy and or partially assembled looted wagon.
-
Seems the Hobbit siphoned most of the crowd away.
There was one game of 40k, Tyranids vs IG. Tyranids are just so very silly.
I ran a Blood Bowl demo. And again, I lost. Failing 2-3 Bonehead rolls per turn is a surefire way for the other person to have lots of fun.

Ben you lost because I have mad skills, not because of bonehead.

Anyone gonna be around for a game thursday? I havent played in awile so it would be nice to get a game in. im thinking anywhere from 1500-2k. Interested?

I'll probably be there Thursday assuming I don't get held up at work again.
-
Maybe I should actually play some 40k this week? *gasp* Run some Deathwing against the new guys.
-
I'll be there Thursday, death to Bens Deathwing
-
That is the day after my last final, so there is a good chance I will be there...besides, I need to ask Ben about the new conversion that I am working on.
Hmmm, Ben's Deathwing, and Nick's Green/Raven/Deathwing will be there....maybe I should bring my Ravenwing and DA can just completely take over Planeville.
-
My fallen angels will indeed be there. Do you think your ravenwing can handle the might of the first legion? Hail Luther! The gauntlet has been thrown. Mad dok Robert I challenge you to a battle for the redemption of the 1st legion. Do you accept?
1500-2k whats good for you?
-
The 500 point event post is up, for those of you that never look at the sticky posts.

Yeah, I will take your fallen ass down. How does 1850 sound?
-
1850 sounds good see ya there @ 630-7.
-
Orks vs Tau
Tau vs Blood Angels / Guard
Grey Knights vs Chaos Space Marines
Dark Angels vs Chaos Space Marines
Seems like once 7 o'clock rolls around these days, the action picks up significantly.
Two tables played through an Invitational scenario for me, and the games were both complete bloodbaths. Couldn't be happier!
-
Anybody planning on coming by for Thursday 40k tomorrow or is everyone still in food comas while playing with their new toys?
-
It all depends on the weather. If the storm has cleared out and the roads look okay, I'll be in. If not... and that's really too bad, because my vacation starts Thursday night and I could actually afford to stay late.
-
I expect the weather will be relatively okay for us, so I'm planning on being there. Doing what exactly, I have no idea.
-
Nurgle is making his presence known beyond the tables. I left early to get some rest, an attempt to head off impending illness. Tis the season!
There were still games tonight among the last few standing.
Grey Knights vs Sisters & IG (Yup, Simon returned!)
Space Wolves vs Orks
Space Marines vs Chaos Space Marines
-
This coming Thursday 40k will likely be your last chance to get in some Invitational practice.
A random person interacting with 40k in any meaningful way this Thursday will be eligible to win a squig.

Taking on Games Workshop's recent theme of "New Year, New Army (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=6600070)", I am proud to announce the New Thursday 40k.
Players will show up Thursday and play 40k. New Thursday, New Army!
-
I am sorry Ben I know I said I would show up today but Work kept me late and this sinus infection must be the work of Nurgle cause it is kicking my butt.
-
Excuses from the Hat!
Chaos Space Marines vs my awesome new Shark Marines. Pictures will eventually be posted, but you can see them at the Invitational. Albeit briefly, as I was effectively tabled in four turns tonight. But they're very distinct, and I'm thrilled.
Orks vs Sisters
Chaos vs Orks
Daemons vs Black Templar
Tau vs Blood Angels
Happy 2nd Anniversary, Thursday 40k.
-
This deserves its own post.
John Walsh, an Thursday 40k player from the start, won the squig (new Kroot hound).
-
I'll be there Thursday with 2k of IG looking for some Templecon practice
-
I'll be there Thursday with 500 points of IG looking for some 500 point tournament practice
Fixed. :P
There's going to be some strange side-by-side games coming up between the 500 point tournament and TempleCon.
I have a teaching game lined up, so all I have to do learn how to play 6th before then. :P

Welp, I just got laid off from work :'( (thank you government spending cuts killing defense contractors everywhere), so I'll have an abundance of free time. I'm planning on having 500 points of Lamenters built up, maybe more, if anyone is interested. They might even be painted... :D

That sucks man... Although I'll be happy to have you around some more.
-
Yes on both counts. Hopefully not for too long (not because I don't want to hang around all day, because I kinda do :) ) though, I'll be back on the job hunt very quickly. I automatically pass tests to regroup.
-
Well, if you're free Thursday nights, there's a place...
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.
Okay, I just copied the lyrics from the Cheers theme.

Hello all. I am looking to get back into the game after about a year hiatus and was wondering what points level people usually play on Thursday nights and if I should try to prearrange a game or just come down to the store with my models.
Thanks,
Jay
-
Hi Jay,
People are currently practicing for both 500 point and 2000 point tournaments, and there's still some casual/new players throwing out near-1000-ish points.
If you can prearrange a game, it's a good habit. I can make introductions, but I can't always guarantee a game. It's a very loose thing here.

-
No way! Ben will be far too busy getting shot up by scouts :)
For what it's worth, I'll be there too.
-
I have a teaching game lined up that's I've had to put off for almost a month now. So that's going to happen. Getting back to my roots!
-
Hey all!
I'm getting back into 40k after a long absence. Last time I played was 2nd edition. Would like to make it Thursday nights for some pick-up games. Should I bring a variety of lists 500/1000/1500/1850 points or is there a standard that everyone uses? I have a burgeoning CSM force.
Jim

Jim,
I am in the same boat and would be happy to play you this Thursday. I should be there around 7 or 730. I could do any of those point levels. Want to play 1500 points?

I have a few 500 point lists I can bring Thursday. I also have enough stuff for up to 1500 points.
Thanks Ben. Is anyone up for some 500 point practice. I'll be your target dummy
-
In a few weeks when my army is large enough me and my roommate will most likely venture down for some Thursdays, he has an Alpha Legion Chaos army and I'm in the process of my Nekthyst Dynasty Necrons. Look forward to it.

Cool. I will be there around the same time with 1500 and 500 point lists.
-
It always seems like we pick up an infusion of new players when we need it most. :)
-
Yeah, an influx of 4-6 new guys is going to be AWESOME! 8-12 isn't enough on Thursdays! We need MORE! Losing people to college / grad school / law school sucks.
I'd like to get some 9 table nights cooking again.
Also, this time of year is almost always really good for mini gaming. The Fall has past, adjustments (to school and other stuff) have happened, the holidays are over, it's cold and dark all the time, and people seem to want to paint, play, roll dice, and blow shit up.
Always happens. :)
-
As I said before, I'll be there, rocking my new Lamenters army. If people are willing to be flexible with me proxying models, I can rock all the way up to 2500. Otherwise, we're talking 500 points. I just started on January 1, so it's coming.
-
Losing people to college / grad school / law school sucks.
Awwww, I miss you too Chase!
-
Jinxman cant make it so I am looking for a game anywhere in the 500-2000 point range. I'll be in around 7.
-
Did someone say 6 tables?
Oh, because we had to set up an extra and make it lucky 7 tables tonight! Could've played 8 if I manned up and played instead of helping everyone else. ;D
FYI, Frag Cannons are a thing.
-
Thanks for the game tonight Jason, and for matching us up Ben.
Frag Cannons are indeed a thing. My Fragnought (a Furioso Dreadnought with Frag Cannon and Heavy Flamer) killed ~25 guard in 2 rounds of shooting, followed by killing the rest in a sweeping advance in assault. Then he blew up a Chimera. He then ate 3 manticore missiles. But he was beastly today.
The new Drop Pod army is going to be fun :)

Great game Brad, those frag cannons doubling the template did hurt and my commissar needs better placement. The other thing i noticed looking through my BA codex last night is that "blood lance" counts as a lance weapon so it probably would of penned that Demolisher earlier. Something for you to remember next time.
The drop pod list seemed pretty viable to me, all your stuff got up close and personal first turn and mitigated a lot of my shooting.
-
Ah, good call on the Blood Lance. I don't know where I would have put the commissar, given that I could Drop Pod in on any side of the blob. Maybe in the back, I guess.
-
I'll be there Thursday with some IG/GK action looking for 2k templecon practice
-
I'll be there Thursday as well, proxying my Lamenters army. Hopefully less than last week :)
-
Anyone going tomorrow? I just finished building a brand new army and wish to send it on its "maiden deployment" tomorrow. I have 1500 pts
-
In the definitely not long awaited return. Pat's Hat is making a Reappearance Tomorrow. May be bringing my Brother along as well who knows. I will be there though.
-
Ok cool, but I don't know what "Pat's Hat" means lol
-

Sure definately, 1500pt is all I have if thats ok.
-
Sounds good to me, I'll write up a 1500 point list. See you tomorrow! By the way, name's Brad, I'll be the ridiculously tall guy with all the drop pods.
-
Last chance for 500 point practice before the tournament this weekend!
That happened rather quickly. I'll want to practice my 500 list and I'll try to remember to bring the scenarios.
-
If you dont Mind Ben I will play a 500 Point match with you. I got an Idea kicking around for 500 Point Dark Angels I would like to try.
-
I should be there tomorrow night, since I had to back out of my first tourny, I will bring my fun, but probably easy to beat, but awesome badass looking Orky army.
I will take on both hatty mchat and ben

I'll most likely be there tomorrow. Up for some dueling shok attack guns?
-
I will be there tonight, too. I need some practice with my "eggs in two baskets" list for IG
-
The 40k gang needed two extra tables tonight. The Warmachine people needed to set up a third.
Good mix tonight too, lots of games all over the place and lots of players trying out the new Dark Angels book with a notable degree of positive feedback.
-
I played against someone with guard, whose name I can't for the life of me remember who left a veteran on the table, and packed up and left before I noticed the model left on the table. If this was you, the model is being held behind the counter!

Got in my first Dark Angels game last night. It was kind of a mess, with me figuring out how I was supposed to use many of the models a turn after I should have made a move/shoot/whatever. Still a lot of fun to play with Guard Allies. We had lots of discussion about building competitive lists and most agree dedicated Raven or Death wing lists are going to be fun, but not competitive, mostly due to point costs and low model counts. Luckily there are plenty of options in this book or with allies to help with this.

Good to hear man, its always cool to hear someone's first experience playing a particular army.
Last night was my first time playing Daemons. I played with mostly Khorne units(with the expection of 1 squad of Seekers and 1 squad of Horrors) and it was faar easier to assault snipers then to shoot them all game through a 2+ cover save. I also plan on expanding into other units for a more diversified force.

Alright, I'm getting thus sucka started early! Yaaaay nighttime.
I'll be there Thursday, and I'm down for whatever you wanna throw at my Lamenters. Mike, you have first dibs. I'll probably be there early, as I'm pseudo unemployed, working in Needham for my alma mater, so I'll head down when I get sleepy and/or bored. Maybe around 2-3ish, so if you want an early game, lemme know that too.
-your local friendly giant, bringing all the drop pods since last week

Khorne flakes.. mmmm
-
Ah, wrong Mike ;D I was referring to Mike the Ork player who mentioned interest in playing a game.
-
It was a quiet night tonight, 3-4 tables, no real aim, all the regulars taking it easy after lots of events and planning for events. Good night for me to mentally refresh before I take on the next series of challenges. Thursday 40k soldiers on!

I'll be there Thursday with 2k of IG/GK looking for some last minute Templecon practice.
In addition if anyone is looking for some Templecon practice earlier on Thursday or another day this week hit me up, i've got the whole week off.

Jason,
I can play you on Thursday. I think I can be there earlier than the usual 7pm, just need to check with my wife tonight and figure out what to do with my daughters. I am looking forward to see how my Ravenwing works with the new codex.

Sounds like a plan Robert, it will give me a chance to pick your brain about bike tactics for my Ravenwing.
Let me know what time works for you, i've got nothing going on Thursday.
-
I will also be there with 1-2500 points of Drop Pod Lamenters (Blood Angels) if anyone is interested. None of that wolfy wolf wolf on wolf wolf hogwash though ;) You know who you are!
-
I'll most likely be there this Thursday. Maybe with three looted wagons, maybe not.
-
Jason,
How does 400-430m sound?
-
Jason,
How does 400-430m sound?
Sounds good, see you then Robert
-
Anyone interested in feeling some pain? Lemme know.
-
So if players can muster 2000 points tomorrow night, that's what is running at TempleCon, the next big event for local 40k players.
-
I plan to be there tomorrow. Don't have a preference right now preferably something between 1000-2000 pts.
-
ill be there tonight with my 2k templecon list. Brad are you still looking for a game?
-
I just confirmed a game with John Walsh at 5:30. Perhaps afterward? I do need to be home by midnight, but that leaves plenty of time, assuming John smokes me like I anticipate.
-
Good showing tonight. Two new-to-us players checking out our scene, a couple Templecon practice games and Mulvey attempting to roll dice.
-
You say that Ben as if I didn't win for once. Some stuff figured out new rules and the like a warlord trait actually being useful. I had a great game lots of fun.
-
Anyone going to be there tonight?
-
Rare thing, but I will not be able to make it tonight. Thursday 40k soldiers on, get your games in before the Snowpocalypse.
-
I am planning on being there tonight if anyone wants a game.
If no one wants to play 40k, I can bring my meager Menoth collection to play/learn a game of Warmachine.
-
Rare thing, but I will not be able to make it tonight. Thursday 40k soldiers on, get your games in before the Snowpocalypse.
Speaking of snowpocalypse is the abington grand reopening this Saturday being postponed?
-
Not only will I be there tonight, I am indeed already here. :). See you guys in a bit.

Yes.
-
Well with Ben out tonight, he missed all the 40k action...
We had
Some kind of space marines versus dark eldar
Space Wolves vs Dark Angels
Orks vs Dark Angels
Plus there was a little Warmachine action at the end of the night
Khador vs Cygnar
-
Now that I know my place as one of those "let's roll dice and have fun" guys, I decided to stick with what I know. People rolled dice tonight, and had fun.
Orks vs Shark Marines. Orks made a furious comeback, but what was left of the Marines hung on to claim the Emperor's Will as their own.
Tau vs Drop Pod Lamenters. And thus the Tau did lament their lives.
IG vs... I have no idea what Tom was playing. I don't think it was Chaos, as I didn't see any tanks with legs.
-
Tau vs Drop Pod Lamenters. And thus the Tau did lament their lives.
I can't believe the Tau could not cut the Lamenters in half. Battlesuits, drones, railguns.. oh my
-
It is being in your face turn 1 without being able to shoot back. Turn 2 means they are in assault with Tau. Goodbye Greater Good you can take the Emperor's Will and choke on it.
-
Sounds like he didn't have a kroot screen.. or a DivSeer lol

Oh yeah? We have hearts and checkers! And hearts.
-
Oh yeah? We have hearts and checkers! And hearts.
The most salient feature are the Drop Pods. All the drop pods.
-
It's sad but true :D Sometimes I feel like the drop pods are doing more damage than everybody else. Then Death Company charge, and I get a heaping helping of reality :)
In other news, I'll be down on Thursday. Is anyone interested in a game of whac-a-menter?
-
This reminds me, I need to double-check with Tyler to see if I'm still helping him with new players. If that's not happening, I don't have a Plan B.

I want another crack at your drop pods Brad but i'm on duty the next 2 Thursdays so it'll have to wait until march

Hey, I'm a noob to 40k slowly but surly building a dark angel army looking to learn how to play. I use to play fantasy so I know the basics and have read though the dark vengeance rulebook but warhammer fantasy was a long time ago for me and the newest edition 40k rulebook is a little more complex than I'm use to, so if someone is willing to play some low point games and teach the finer points of 40k, I've got Thursday nights open, my name is Shawn by the way, like my account name suggests.
-
5 games tonight, a crowd of regulars, playing all manner of things. Once everyone paired up, I was the odd man out. So I got to talk with Sam regarding an upcoming project of coolness, word.
-
Nice to meet you Shawn. I don't know if you made it to Thursday 40k tonight if you did glad you can come. A lot of us are still learning 6th edition and have no problem playing with you and sharing what we know. As the title suggests Thursday is the big day to come down to Plainville and play some 40k get some pointers and roll some dice. Usually starts up around 6 p.m. and lasts until we get kicked out.
-

I hope this means what I hope this means.
Wait, what?
-
I hope this means what I hope this means.
Wait, what?
If it means what I think you think it means, it means we have a means toward something worth thinking about.
-
Perfect.
-
Spilllllllllllllll..... :o
-
Who's playing who?!
-
Chase, that's a good question!
I'm expecting some number of new players greater than zero. I imagine too the regular crowd of regulars will be there.
Business as usual, which means business as awesome.
-
anyone looking for an 1850 game tonight? i have a tournament this week end and need a practice game
-
Dan, you have scared everyone away with your NOVA Invitational worthy prowess! :) Actually, we're still suffering from a bit of post-Templecon fatigue, so the competitive gentlemen have been too long absent.
There were four tables tonight.
Two guys were apparently the guys who won the Doubles in Abington. Huh! I wish I made the time for proper introductions.
I ran a brief demo for a new player, familiar with Fantasy, and the unique question of "How do they move without the trays?" :)
A doubles game of Orks & IG vs Grey Knights & Lamenters.
Two other guys I had never seen before, didn't see what they were playing and I'm not sure if they talked to anyone... I'm not even sure they existed. That's what I get for pulling overtime all week.

Yep the lamenters still managed to pull off a victory even though the Grey Knight player had to leave. Too many drop pods not enough turns. But I am getting better with the looted wagons. One of them only scored a weapon destroyed on itself instead of blowing up.
-
I'd like to thank Ben for the 40k demonstration Thursday, I'm hoping to break in my dark angels next thursday. I can field a 500 or 1000 point army if anyone wants to beat up on a noob this week.
-
Shawn, glad you enjoyed it! You'll pick up 40k quickly. Keep building and painting!
-
I'm putting together an army for the tournament coming up. is anyone up for a practice game this Thursday? 1850.
-
I should be there this Thursday. I'm up for playing the new people or if anyone wants any practice against an ork infantry horde for the tournament.
-
I'll be by Thursday with 1850 of Dark Angels / Vostroyans looking for a tournament practice game
-
I'll be by on Thursday with some quantity of Lamenters. If anyone is interested, let me know!
-
Pretty sure I will be there with my Ravenwing.
-
Oh a tournament is announced and suddenly everyone expects to have a game!
Let's make it happen. :)
-

More concerned about getting a table than a game...or Matt throwing his back out having to setup more tables.

-
Hey Chase you guys might want to look at a new table setup the braces and legs you have now aregetting super flimsy and shaky.
-
I'll be by Thursday with 1850 of Dark Angels / Vostroyans looking for a tournament practice game
Im bringing my ravenwing turni list if your up to it. I think its been about a year since we last had a game. I think that you would be a good player to gage my lists turni quality against. What do you say are you in?
-

Sure i'm game Nick. I've got a bunch of DA/IG options i want to try out before the tournament so i'll be there with either deathwing/IG, ravenwing/IG or some other kind of mashup... all depends how much i get assembled and pinned to bases before thursday
-
I'll be there this Thursday work dickery pending with 1850 dark angels for tournament casual play.
-
Plainville in general needs tons of work.
That's what happens with a community that plays tons. :)
-
Chase, is there anything you need/ could use help with in fixing up the store? I, as well as I'm sure many people, would be more than happy to render assistance in any way possible. Given how well we're treated by you and the store it seems like the least I/we could do.
-
I would also be more than happy to help how I can. I have some mechanical engineering and fabrication experience, certainly enough to patch up tables. Let me know if you're interested, and I could come down some weekend and bash through it. I'm happy to help with other things too, that's just the most clear thing I can think of.
-
Sometime after PAX and probably after the tournament on the 30th we'll try to fix or completely re-do the tables in Plainville.
HOPEFULLY there will be some considerable changes taking place with respect to the state of the tables and the amount of storage we have in general.
I appreciate the offers guys and I'll let you know if / when the time comes. :)
-
Weather forecast for tomorrow.
"Chance of snow 100% with accumulations up to 8 in. possible."
In cases of inclement weather like this, I usually wave off Thursdays and tell people to stay home. We'll have to keep an eye on this as it develops.

I don't think the heavy stuff is coming until later that night but weathermen usually don't know what is going to happen until it's already snowing out. I'll still be there as long as the weather doesn't get crazy, but then again i've got 4 wheel drive
-
I dont think its gonna be that bad. Besides space marines don't mind the snow.
-
It's supposed to snow Thurday and Friday but its going to be so warm, 40ish, that I think it will melt before it even hits the ground. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Plainville+MA+USMA0332:1:US
-
Bah, snow.....that is why I drive a Jeep.
-
Definitely keeping an eye on the weather now, since I couldn't make the drive into work. Prognosis for my attendence: doubtful with a heaping side of caution.

If you think the space sharks rhino won't get you there safely you should deep strike into BG Ben. Just don't scatter on top of Sam... it makes him mad and counts as impassable terrain
-

The snow isn't that bad in Plainville. There's even less the further South you go.
-
Roads are clear (just wet) in Mansfield and Foxboro. I'm headed out now so I'll report again when I get in.
-
Some roads were better than others. I say this from the comfort of home.
-
Roads in Mansfield are fine.
-
Only thing messy in plainville tonight was the parking lot. Roads were still clear when i left BG about 9
a couple games tonight despite a little snow from on high
DA/IG vs ravenwing
ravenwing vs ravenwing
daemons vs daemons?
eldar vs something
-
Eldar vs Orks and I wasn't running full out Ravenwing in my game though I had my new Sammael model.
Drive home sucked but it worth being a man and showing up for Thursday 40k.
-
I'll be there tomorrow with some 1850 DA/IG action
-
I'll be there tomorrow with some 1850 DA/IG action
I'll also be there tomorrow with some1850 DA/IG action!
-
Wait, tomorrow is Thursday, already? Oh man. Okay. No one panic!
-
BLEARGH! :o
I'll be there with n points of Yellow goodness. You pick n. Anyone interested?
-
Wait, tomorrow is Thursday, already? Oh man. Okay. No one panic!
Panic... HA!
-
I should be there with Ravenwing in tow....actually I will probably have my Menoth and Bloodbowl team also so if someone wants to play something other than W40K.
-
We had a really good showing last night. 5 tables of 40k and a table of Fantasy.
Space Wolves vs Orks
Ravenwing vs IG/Dark Angels
Dark Angels/IG vs Chaos Marines
Chaos Marines/Daemons vs Blood Angels
The fifth table is a total blank... bracing myself for forehead slap.
Many players trying out 1850 lists. I bought a foam tray and made a new home for two Dreadnoughts, two Thunderfire cannons, two Techmarines and six Terminators. Another player put together a Land Raider. You can be productive even if you're not playing!
-
Probably going to be there tomorrow, anyone up for a game?
-
I would hope so! Tournament season is upon us!
-
I would hope so! Tournament season is upon us!
Turn a mint?
-
I will be arriving with 1850 for Casual Tournament Practice anyone up for it?
-
Hey anyone that is showing up tonight have 4 plasma pistols they would be willing to part with? Will trade bits/space bucks/soda for them.
-
A very solid showing tonight! Four 40k tables, one for Fantasy. I'm settling into my new role as guy too tired to stand and play, but more than happy to sit and chat and plan and list-build and give advice and so on.
Ravenwing vs Ravenwing
Space Wolves vs Tau
Space Wolves vs Chaos Space Marines
Space Marines vs Dark Angels / IG
And two dudes playing Fantasy.
-
That last game was Dark Angels vs Dark Angels/IG
Fantasy was High Elves vs Warriors of Chaos interesting how much more math is involved in Fantasy
-
Whoa Pat, new Dark Angels are so cool, even a caveman can do it!
-
Hes winning at it too.
-
So I looked through my bitz boxes and I have everything that everyone asked me for last week. I will bring them by on Thursday, but most likely I will not be there until around 8:30-9pm. I will be bringing all my bit boxes, so if anyone is looking for something, it will be a good time to hit me up.
Also, looking at my conversion projects, I still need a few things. So if you have them, we can make a trade/deal/donation/etc.
Ravenwing Stuff
Ravenwing Apoc Stuff (Shoulder Pad, Chest piece, arm, Bike wing, etc) I think Nick has these for me
4 Plasma Pistols (Don't care if they have arms or hands, just need to cut them up for the pistol bodies)
Deathwing Stuff
Deathwing Apoc Stuff (Think there are 4 bits or so) I think Jason has these for me
Terminator Flamer (DA one would be better, but I will take what I can get)
2 Crux (Left) Shoulder Pads
4 Deathwing (Right) Shoulder Pads
3 Watchers in the Dark (I am dissappointed the new codex didn't flesh these guys out more. They have always been one of my favorite things about Dark Angels)
So I offer bitz/battleground space bucks/coke/tutoring/good will for any of this stuff.
-
i'll be there tomorrow with 1850 looking for a fight. i should probably get at least one practice game in before the tournament saturday lol.
-
I should be there tomorrow if anyone wants a game.
-
Ill be there and currently have no game lined up
-
I finished assembling a 1850 army, kinda, but I'd be more inclined to playing a smaller game if anyone is interested.
-
Fantasy was High Elves vs Warriors of Chaos interesting how much more math is involved in Fantasy
You probably witnessed the magic phase or the combat res phase ;D
-
Combat res and the whole strength over armor determining save. It is very interesting since I was always interested In dwarves for fantasy.
-
I thought there was a really good vibe in the room tonight.
Shark Marines vs Space Wolves. A foregone conclusion, but no one foresaw the fury of the Techmachine. 2 turns, 30 inches, 6 dead grey hunters and screaming to the gods.
Chaos vs Dark Eldar
Daemons vs Jason... I can't remember which army Jason was playing.
Dark Eldar vs Orks
Tau vs... Okay, too wrapped up having fun in my game. :)
Good luck to those coming out to the tournament Saturday!
-

Yea, in fantasy there is no static armor save and no weapons with AP values. It's cool that you find the game interesting, if you ever want to do an intro game fantasy night is on Tuesdays.
-
So what if anything specific are players looking for this week? There are a number of different 40k events on the horizon.
-
I'd like to be able to play test my list for the 2000 point upcoming tournament, but it always seems difficult to find people willing to play with the double Force Org in friendly games.
-

with the double force org tournie a few weeks away. I don't think anyone will deny you
-
I don't see who'd stop you. It's legal, and it's a friendly game. ???
-
True points, it just seems that when ever I, or others, suggest it people seem hesitant. But theres no time better than now.
-
I was guaranteed we were going to have Thursday 40k this week, but it seems Thursday won't be here for another couple weeks.
By the way, April Fool's! I stole that joke from Games Workshop, it's hilarious!
-
Here's hoping my invoice from this week is some cruel, cruel April Fools joke...
-
Last night was very solid, really locked into 4-5 tables a night now.
Orks vs Daemons
Grey Knights vs Dark Angels
Chaos Space Marines vs Space Wolves
Space Wolves vs Space Marines (?)
Sam and I made good progress on the super-secret project. As a matter of rule, we need to work together more often.
-
i'll be there thursday with 2000 double force org fun looking for a game
-
Anyone want to do a 1000pt battle on Thursday? I have a Daemon army lead by the Dark Prince Himself..
-
I'd like to try out a 500 point game or two depending on how quick it goes if anyone is interested.

kool, I'll be there with an army of Dark Angels.
-
500 point games shouldn't ever really take longer than an hour.
We upped the 45 minute time limit to 50 minutes to accommodate the change to 6th edition. 50 minutes seems like more than enough time.
-
I'm game for 500 or 1000point game. Still trying to figure out how to make the new Tau army. Army builder really spoiled me.
-
I'll be there tomorrow. I'm up for whatever. I can even do a 2000game point list either a bit of proxying.
-

It's definetly in there. You just have to hit the refresh button under manage data files and Tau (2013) is there. It's got the Riptide and everything. I find it kind of odd that the flyers an take flechette dischargers.
-
Look forward to coming up there and meeting everyone.. I will be easy blood :) as I am new to the game like no games under my belt just an army.. I am sure you guys can change that though!
Joe
-
I'm pretty sure we can help with that. :)
-
Joe, find Ben. He's the guy you'll want to talk to on Thursday nights.
-
I will be sauntering in tonight.
I will bring a 1850 list and a 2000 list.
-
Feeling like death, not making it tonight. You'll just have to give em' hell without me.
-

Ok thanks for letting me know
-
Another very good showing tonight. We saw a few new faces and had several tables up and running.
I usually do the breakdown, but I'm broken down. Worked late, home early.
-
Hello,
Was nice meeting you guys tonight, I am interested in setting up a game for Thursday night next week! I may have a 2nd game under my belt by then but am still learning most rules and would love to play someone that will take it slow and doesn't mind showing me the ropes :) Have a 1500 point Ork and DA army prefer playing my ork's till i learn them first!
Joe
-
I think we'll be able to help out with that quite easily, Joe. :)

If I can make it out next week, I may bring my Orks and take you up on a game. It has been awhile since I have broken out the boyz.

Cobra (Joe)

I'll be there tomorrow with 2k looking for a practice game for the tournament
-
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Casual death, loose dice and plastic space mans, tonight!
-
Joe,
I will be there tonight. I will put together a 1500pt list a little later today. Since you are just starting I will throw a bunch of units that you don't have/may not have seen into the list.
Mad Dok Robert hope to see you Thursday! I don't see how to attach files to the post or i would send you my army list for you to check out and tell me what you think!

I personally think the PKs on the Big Meks are a waste of points. Your Mek with the SAG you never want to see near combat. Same thing for the Mek with the KFF. If either of those guys get into close combat, you are in a great deal of trouble.
There are many things that Orks can do with 50pts....
-
Mad Dok, Thanks for the support, but my mom went into the hospital last night, I cannot come tonight, however if your willing I will be there next week! Hope you get this, Hope to play you next week!
Joe
PS my mom is doing 100% better but she cant get out of bed so i have to be there tonight to watch my father and the two kids.
-
I left early tonight to celebrate my brother's birthday, but there were six tables up and running. Some tournament practice, some casual games, some teaching games. Just a great mix tonight, and a full room. We had some people also painting models, so just a great night for the hobby as a whole.
-
Hopefully I can get down to the store this week! I am still building what hopefully will be my main army build, but i have 1500 points i can field to practice playing. Anyone up for a 1500 point game Thursday? I know i blew everyone off last week but my mom is doing much better and it should not be a problem this week!
Cobrajml (Joe) :)
-
I'm taking a certification exam the next day so I can't be in Thursday. I might be around Friday or Saturday if anyone wants a game though.
-
Just a heads up about Saturday... It's Magic Prerelease weekend. There will likely be space for a game or two in the early afternoon, but around 4pm all hell breaks loose.
-
So....anyone want to play a fun game tonight?
I would really like to bring my Ork Stompa for a Game.
-
We've been having a really solid turnout of regulars keeping things going. These players are really finally starting to fine-tune their armies and lists, getting past the basics and into experimenting and tweaking. We're starting to see big boy things. :)

That's awesome, I have been dying to play some games but have been too busy lately.. hopefully in the next few weeks. Also planning on having a fully painted official tourney army ready by July. Keep up the good work 8)
-
Some people I know are getting together tonight at BG Plainville to play Warhammer. No big deal. :)
-
I've been busy. Almost as busy as Thursday 40k these days. Max's Chaos Space Marines beat up on my Space Marines. And there were like, three, four other games. I don't think the turnout has ever been this steady, which is just really awesome.
-
Did you know? The day Thursday was originally named 40k, until everyone played a popular game called Thursday, which was based on Thor.
Come on down and learn more about history I made up. Or better yet, push some minis around in a setting of casual death, loose dice and plastic space mans.

Wow, that sounds awesome, I can't wait to hear more about this Thor fella and Thursday.
-
As long as we aren't listening to the band Thursday count me in.
-
Is anyone interested in a game with a super heavy tonight? Really looking for an excuse to bring the Stompa tonight. Otherwise I will be there tonight with the usual 40K/Warmachine stuff.
-
About five tables tonight, so we're just rolling right along. Couldn't be happier. :)
At work, a horse racing game gave me a great epiphany: a 40k foot race. Think Blood Bowl.
Also, I read through a packet of highly classified Battleground documents relating to an upcoming event. I think and hope you'll all be pleasantly surprised.
-
Yeah, that document looks pretty good. We've got a ways to go, but it looks good.
-
I hope its the GT packet!!!
-
I would be very happy to show up at the next Thursday night to play 40k. I have Necrons or Tau

Sweet! More new guys! :D
-
If I can glue my shizzle b' nizzles tomorrow then I'll be there Thursday
-
Come one, come all, Thursday 40k! Fun for the whole family, if you're whole family knows what's good for them.
-
Five tables up and running tonight, another solid showing. I don't recall turnout this consistent ever.
In a doubles game, my Shark Marine with a multi-melta shot a helldrake out of the air. The first one I've ever seen removed from a table. The Marine was then killed by a vector striking Daemon Prince. Sic transit gloria.

Sounds sweet, how many points were you playing with?
-
We played 750 points with a shared FOC. The newer books of Tau and Chaos Marines are just silly good compared against Orks and Space Marines. We did put ourselves out of position one turn, resolving sternly to shoot down that Helldrake, and I killed with the first shot, leaving our army out of range of every thing else. Also, Shadowsun jumping 4d6 is silly silly silly.
-
I'm sure with the new improved release schedule, speez meez will get a new codex soon enough.
Also if anyone wants to play a 1000 point game Thursday let me know.
-
Hi.
I'm new to the forums but heard good things about the store and I'm looking to set up a game for Thursday
1850 points around 7pm at plain ville
Any takers?
-
Hey AdMech, hopefully someone will step up and accept your challenge. What's your real name and what army were you thinking about playing?

Dan, and I wasnt sure, either necron or tau, or Nids, working on all three atm,
Whats the store policy on painted, unpainted, wysiwyg ect?
-
WYSIWYG - YES no exceptions
painted - No policy its engouraged but no limitations.
Obviously proxying and non standard models are fine in casual pick up games. My above comments were mainly for tournies.

Oh yeah tournies are a whole different matter.
It was more of testing things as I am prepping them for a tournament
Btw how often do you have events
-
BG usually has 1 a month or so. They are splitting between the Plainsville and Abington store but usually 1 a month.
-
yea for casual games I actually encourage proxying for new players, its helps figure out what you like before you start investing into the models.

Well I am not really new, but getting back into it, and considerably new to 6th
So if anyone wants a game, lemme know, via post or PM,
I promise I wont be a newbie win,
-
I should be there with all the boyz barring any unforeseen circumstances.

I'm trying to get a few games in this week so if you wanna plan a 1000 point game on Thursday let me know.. I play daemons so a good ol' fashion daemon vs ork match would be pretty awesome.
-
Was the boyz invite aimed at me
I want to get a1850 in

I'll play the first person to officially accept my challenge. However I'd like to start of with 1000 points because I haven't played in a while, and also my heavy support units aren't ready yet.
-

Unfortunately no I had already lined up a meganobz vs death wing match with Rob. If he can't make it then maybe.
-

Dan, there are some Thursdays regulars who don't post on this forum. I feel confident you could get a game, plus you can start meeting the other players and get a feel for what we've got going on.
We have a few regular Tau and Necron players, so definitely enough to chat about with those guys. Tyranids would be refreshing, we don't see them too much these days (oddly, despite them being better than ever).
-
I'm not sure what Bill and Han's plans are, but I know Bill will be by to pick up some Genestealers he had me set aside sometime this week. Maybe there will be a bug army in the house after all...
-

Ah Yes, Deathwing vs Deffwing. There does not seem to be any problem for this week. We are doing 1850 right?

Would you be willing to do 1500? I can do 1850 that but I'd have to throw a lot of stuff in there that isn't meganobz.
-
Alright, I will bring my stuff and see what happens
What time would you recommend showing up?
-
I'll be there with my 1850 of bugs around 6:00 pm

Once the school year ends, I'll be sure to bring my bugs on back!
-
Three new people tonight! New blood is always awesome.
Five games, if I recall correctly.
Nids vs Tau
IG Azreal blob vs IG Azreal blob
Deathwing vs Deffwing
Wolves vs Nurgle
Daemons vs Dark Angels
I also really like how more players are showing up to simply work on their projects, painting and building. It feels like it makes the room complete.
The train keeps a rollin'! Wild rumors about Eldar too.
-
It's Monday time to start planning for Thursday. Pat's Hat will be making a Long overdue appearance anyone up for a match of mediocre proportions should let me know so I can bring my Bad Dice rolls and Trash talk to show you how not to play this game.
-
Pat Mulvey is coming? Oh shit!

What do you play
I would like to hit up a 40k game around 1k if your interested
-
I play Dark Angels and/or Space Marines. 1k points is fine with me. I probably would be showing up 6ish if thats ok with you.

Crap
I forgot I have a home buyers class on Thursday
-
Expecting lots of people showing with 1000 points this week, ya know, cuz the tournament. Hoping to get there as well on Thursday!
-
That be ok Admech. Anyone else 1000 points is the Number were setting for this week could be singles could be doubles. No threesomes here though we need to keep it wholesome.
-
Hey schedule was written wrong
I'll be there with my dancing shoes
And a army of course
-
The only way to beat the heat is to beat a path to Thursday 40k and beat your opponent! Looking forward to another crowded room of plastic space men.
-
I should be there with orks and more Orks. Some of them might even be almost sort of painted.

Hehe, i might be new here, but some things are a semi universal rule it seems,
Glad I found Hygiene with my zapagap
-
There is a 75% chance I can make it out to Plainsville tonight. I am looking to test my WargamesCon tourny army (1850pts) would anyone be down for a game?
-
I should be there tonight with 1850pts of Ravenwing Goodness. Grim if you are there, I will give you a game.
-
Sounds good.
-
I'm happy to say that my long hiatus from Thursday nights is finally at an end. I look forward to seeing you guys next week. Anyone interested in playing some Lamenters?
As a side note, anyone busy on Saturday? PM me.
-
Sorry Admech my car Started leaking Transmission fluid and is now in the shop. So I won't be able to make it out tonight :/.
-
Np np
Get that ride patched up
-
Did you want five tables of 40k madness? No? Too bad! It happened.
Mulvey, I left that box of sprue you were going to pick up in the dumpster.
-
Acceptable I haven't been able to pick it up in forever.
-
Any other teams coming tomorrow looking for some tournament practice? My partner and i are looking for a game.
-

I'm getting a game at 1k at 6.
7 pm ill be free to die ;)
-
Great thing about Thursday 40k? No double overtime before work in the morning. Come spend a reasonable evening with us at Battleground.
ZZZZZZ.
-
it seems as though I left my Dark Angel's codex and warhammer 40k rule book on one of the tables this Thursday night. If you should happen upon it, I'll make my way up to retrieve it.
-

Yes you did. Gork and Mork were punishing you for winning the game with one marine. I left them with Matt.

Indeed, it could have been two marines but the last remaining sergeant in the second squad blew his face off with a plasma pistol. At least the plasma cannon dev squad worked out for me. But thanks for the game and picking up my books.
-
Great thing about Thursday 40k? No TRIPLE overtime before work in the morning. Come spend a reasonable evening with us at Battleground.
Hmm, wait, sounds familiar...
Doubles fever? Tournament preparation?
-
Think I might come up this week, just watching though, no play time for me as my mini's are all packed away awaiting the move to my new house.
-
A rare shark sighting tonight, before getting wiped off the table by some strange fish people and their silver allies. Hmm.
And 5 other games, by my count. I don't know. Triple overtime was a terrible idea.
-
I need a 1000pt pre-tourney practice game tonight, any takers?
-
We've had a very steady influx of new people, I guess that's the summertime for you. So that's the best news of all. 4 tables running when I left, including a demo, some Doubles practice and two new players facing off against some regulars. Yay!
-
New players are always awesome to have come by. I love having a night to direct them to and knowing that someone awesome will be there to help them out.
Matt's email said we had 5 tables at one point. Pretty solid considering the doubles.
I love that summer means lots of models getting pushed around. 40k is rocking and rolling as usual and I expect this Warmachine / Hordes beginner league some of the guys are putting together to do well also.
-
... I expect this Warmachine / Hordes beginner league some of the guys are putting together to do well also.
My fingers are crossed for the Warmahordes league to do as well or even better than the successful 40k league last year.
-
I won't be able to make it tomorrow evening. So I'll just remind everyone, if you see someone new and looking lost, just introduce yourself. We've had many new people show up in the past couple weeks, so I can't stress that enough!
There's an 1850 Singles tournament coming up next month at BG, and 1850 is going to be the target number until we're past the NOVA tournaments.
-
Yeah, expect a lot of 1850. I'll likely run another one in August also.
We've got a lot of guys to get ready for NOVA.
-
Speaking of NOVA, anyone interested in an 1850 game? Perhaps even one using the NOVA primer? Lemme know.
-
It's likely that you will also see some 2000 point armies too, the Storm and Shadows campaign starts very soon and it going to be a long and brutal summer.. did I mention it will be long and brutal? ;)
-
Ah, indeed. I need to sign up for that soon. I guess I'm going on Saturday!
-
Facebook spawned Immortalized in this thread.
Hat's Litany:
Where there is Battleground, you shall bring Pat Mulvey.
Where there is a Pat, He shall Wear a Hat.
When there is a Hat, Bad Rolls there be at.
Where is it at, Thursday 40k and that is that.
-
Spencer and I had a great time watching and learning at our first 40k experience last night. Thanks to Nathan, Brad, Michael and everyone else we chatted with. We're looking forward learning more and seeing you all again!
-Jeff
-
Double thanks to those guys from me! Thanks for stepping up. :D
-
But of course. I think Spencer is firmly in the grasp of the Red Thirst at this point ;D
-
No Thursday 40k this week. The store is closed because of the July 4th holiday. Thanks, Obama.

-
Thursday 40k is a thing today. Doubles practice @ 1000, Singles @ 1850, there are a couple of targets here, but as always, bring and play what you want. :D
-
I'll be around tonight practicing 2k single force org for Connecticon this weekend.
-
Any idea if Rick James is headed to PV with you guys tonight, Bill? If so, it might save me a drive to Abington.
-
He is not
-
A few games tonight, and Chase was in the house, which means we got to discuss the Future. Silliest 40k event, perhaps ever, on the horizon.
-
It seems awesome.
-
Wish I made it up :( I did nothing but was so tired. You don't realize how 15 days of work drains your energy until you're done with it and can finally relax. I do plan to go up tomorrow, Saturday the 13th, early on and get some of the new Apoc stuff. Want to give myself time to get home and get cleaned up, get a hair cut, take care of needed things before hitting Twin River for some birthday blackjack and some birthday craps! 34... time files...

Make sure you get there early unless you want to play 25 and 50 dollar tables.
-
Ya know, hadn't thought about that! I haven't been up sense before the table games came in. Usually I just play 5 and 10 dollar tables... none of them later in the day?
-

I was there around 8:30 and was playing a 15 dollar black jack table (the lowest one I could find) for a few hands. After the sleeve was finished they raised the minimum bet to 25 and there was nothing lower.
-
Pew Pew! I'll be there this week at around....... 4pm + 45 minutes*traffic factor. Call it 5:30 maybe 6. Hell, maybe earlier, who knows...
Anyone interested in 1850 of significantly more yellow as of Saturday Lamenters?
-
I know a couple people who are looking for an 1850 game, so I think Brad it'll happen for you.
-
I should be there tomorrow with the boyz.
-
I will be showing up I will bring an 1850 List as well as a 1000 point list for people who want to play.
-
Not sure if I'll be up for this tomorrow. Working in an unconditioned warehouse while sick, turns out that's not a good thing. I think it'll be a busy night regardless, lots of players looking for 1850 practice. Bring your list, say hello and make your new friend take his pitiful army off the table.
-
The Moral of This Thursday 40k is...... 30$ for 125 Dice is worth it :D.
Tonight's Fights:
Dark Angels Vs Dark Angels+IG
Tyranids Vs Orks
Blood Angels+Space Marines +Tau + something else in some form of Doubles match.
Then Bill was on a Table playing something versus some guy.
Some Warmachine players tonight as well.
-
Blood Angels+Space Marines +Tau + something else in some form of Doubles match.

Eldar is the missing army from the first match. That was Brian, a boy who exuded so much joy in playing. He cheered for everything. I miss that enthusiasm in myself.
Bill's Eldar played Frosty's Chaos Marines. It did not go well for Frosty, whose heavy hitters were toasted before he got to move a model. I've heard some people downplaying Eldar, and this is the first sign of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. :P
That's how you recap, Mulvey. Get your hat in the game!

I love hearing this type of thing. Very cool. Thanks to Pat or whoever ran them.
-
It was a fun turnout and I heard a lot of fun from the doubles table. I had a Game with Chris that actually ended up with me having exactly one model on the table at the end of Turn 7. The new Apocalypse Dice are working out for me.
-
BG needs more Mulvey.
-
The doubles game was moderately crazy. My teammate Brian was a little wobbly on the rules (he's very young) but everybody just kinda went with the flow, which I appreciate. Thanks for the game everyone!
-
1850 is the order of the day! This is the last Thursday 40k before the 1850 Singles tournament this Saturday.
Also, note the upcoming NOVA Open "Trial" event BG is hosting in August. Think you're strong enough to face down 15 other opponents over a grueling day of competition?

See you all tonight. I may be a little late, signing the lease on a new apartment WOOOO!

I have to get my car fixed so I can't make it tonight. I should be around tomorrow afternoon if anyone wants some last minute tournament practice or whatever.
-
Anyone gonna be around tomorrow for a game? My sword hand is itching for a battle
-
I'm there!
-
Sounds good Brad! What time you thinking?
-
Hard to say. Notionally I leave work at 4, and it usually takes... an hour to get there... So I'd say some time between 5 and 6.
-
Ok sounds good

I should be there tomorrow with you'll never guess... Orks.

Stick with a voice in a cornfield told you to find out

If you build it, they will come.
Five tables of 40k tonight and two Warmachine tables. Good to see the tables full up!
-
Yea it was an awesome night, I played my Daemons vs Brad's Blood Angels. Drop pod dreadnoughts are TOUGH, but I did a much better job then the last few times. I took fateweaver but I'm not sure he's worth the points cost, maybe just a regular LoC next time.. good game! ;)
-
Good game indeed. Friggin Fateweaver, dancing around rerolling everybody's good rolls (I hit on a 6! No you don't, reroll that shit! Awwww).
-
Fateweaver can make someone reroll? I assume through psychic powers?
-
Fateweaver can make someone reroll? I assume through psychic powers?
They had to 4+ the interpretation of Fateweaver's special ability to re-roll one die per turn. To me, it was pretty clear that Fateweaver's ability only applied to rolls the Daemon player makes, because how can a player re-roll dice he never rolled in the first place? The arguing interpretation, that Fatey can force anyone to re-roll any one die per turn, won the 4+ rules roll off.
-
Oh hell no!! I agree with you on this Ben. Its a reroll on one of his rolls not the other players.
-
Yea the wording is dicey imo, but I got my info from Bell of Lost Souls.. but perhaps they are wrong. Good to know, the game me and Brad played was just a friendly game so its not a huge deal. Like I said it was a good game, going forward I will interpret it as "daemon player" only ;)
When in doubt we always have Ben Solomon (to resolve the issue I will cut the model in half) lol ;D
-
Yeah, no offense to the internet, but I generally don't trust it any further than I can throw it. Saying something on the internet isn't a qualification, it merely means you've said something on the internet. To be fair, I'm saying this on the internet.
-
Brad you just blew my mind!
-
I'm so confused as to how anyone can interpret that Fateweaver can make his opponent re-roll...
-
"This staff allows you to re-roll a single D6 of your choice once per turn..."
According to that, you can't make your opponent re-roll. But, you can re-roll a dice your opponent rolled :)
However, this would be stupid.
-
It's just one of many cases in which GW could have written the rule more clearly. I think they have a fear of being highly specific.

I'm looking for an 1850 game tomorrow night. Competitive play practicing for NOVA. Not looking to curbstomp people looking for practice and critiquing for both sides. Post here if you want a game, I'm traveling over an hour so if no one responds I will be absent.

That sounds good, want to plan for 4:00?

One gauntlet of dice and death has been laid out and set. More to come! Thursday 40k!
-
Dan, sorry something literally just came up. I can't make it today, but someone else might be up for a game.
-
Anybody else up for a game, 1850 competitive with critiquing? Available anytime this evening

It's a new week, and that means another Thursday Night 40K.
1500 points seems to be the number most people are gearing up for as we creep closer to the 8/31 event in Plainville. There are some folks looking for 1850 matches as they prepare for NOVA as well.
Ben, I got my bolters aimed in your general direction.
-
You aim those bolters at me, you better pull the trigger. But you'll never see me coming.
Duuun dun
duuun dun
dun dun dun dun dun dun BOM BOM
dun dun dun dun dun dun doo dedoo doo dedoo dede doo dede doo dededoo
That was the theme from Jaws, the last thing you'll ever hear.
-
I'll be around this week looking for 1850 nova practice. Anyone interested?

You wanna play a game tomorrow? I will be around all day
-
no thanks gotta work
-
Players are definitely gearing up for the tournaments, 1850 for NOVA and 1500 for BG's Singles event. The public debut of my Shark Marines display board should be reason enough for people to show up.
-
I'm building up my glorious ravenwing. but in the meantime does anybody have extra armies and the patience to help a newbie out?

I'm sure their will be people more than willing to help you out.
-
Thursday 40k tomorrow! Get some 1500pt practice in for this weekend's event (which happens to have some space available for anyone who wants to sign up).
Also, Pat.H the person you scheduled a game with just walked into the store to cancel. I'll be PM'ing you about this as well.
-
I'll make sure word gets around about the available tournament space. I'll be there being social, except for the two-minutes blitzes of swearing at my computer during my round in the Football Fantasy draft that was oh so conveniently timed.

It was pretty quiet this week. There was a couple rounds of Ork Vengeance played and some Star Wars X-Wing miniatures played.
-
I had alot of fun playing ork vengance
-
Many of the regulars are taking time this week to decompress from tournaments and organize their bitz for this Saturday's BG Bitz event. I imagine tonight will be a quiet night, but I wouldn't mind if 20 players decided to surprise me either.

I'm deftinately going to be there and I know a couple of new people said they were going to show up so it should be a pretty good turn out.
-
After some group-therapy concerning our Tau issues, a few new guys came in brimming with enthusiasm. One of those nice times when the meta is frustrating, but someone reminds you it's a game and fun after all. On this quiet night, new dudes got tons of attention.
-
Good times. As frustrating as parts of NOVA were (and oh god, I faced 18 riptides that weekend..), it was in general a great time in spite of the meta, and it really isn't something I'm concerned about for the local scene. In any case, tonight was a good time, did a few demo games, and inducted a new brother into the Blood Angels.
Also,
BRAD CLUB!

i sure hope the BA dreads get some love in their new codex brad because the SM ones look to be status quo
-
Eh, I'm thinking they don't really need much love, they seem to work just fine. That said, I'm not against more dreadnought love :) Just so long as I don't get a giant vampire, the BLOODKNIGHT, I'm a happy camper. Also, no screwing up my Death Company. My preciousssss.
-
Ok so after the bits bonanza my dark angels are complete! anybody want to set up a game thursday and help me practice the rules?

I should be there this Thursday if you want a game against all da Boyz.
-
da boys betta be prepared for my banner of more dakka
-
Here's hoping a lot of people turn out to test their new Space Marines. :)
-
I will most likely be there tomorrow. No new space marines for me though. I prefer mine yellow and at an extreme points premium.
-
Sure to be lots of Space Marine discussion tonight, and maybe someone can convince me they're better than Tau and Eldar? :P
-
Home game for the Patriots tonight. Plan your drive around Gillette Stadium accordingly, and expect some gnarly traffic whichever way you take.
-
Hey party people, did you know today is Thursday?
I expect the new Space Marines to start making an impact here. I've been reading the SM codex on my lunch break, and I'm looking forward to doing some math and bouncing some ideas off of people. Also, Doubles Tournament is approaching (1000 points per player).
-
i'll be there
-
BA dreads are the only dreads that even work at all right now.

Iron Hands Ironclads in Pods are still a valid and dangerous thing.
-
Really good crowd tonight! 5 tables going by the time I left, with a variety of games. Casual, teaching, tournament practice. That's not counting the people there painting models and a couple of distinct gentlemen snickering over devious Space Marines lists.
-
Awesome news. :)
-
and a couple of distinct gentlemen snickering over devious Space Marines lists.
Dirty dirty space marines.
-
i unfortunatly got there late so no game for me but I was able to base all of my models and get some new stuff. anybody up for a game next thursday?
-
Rumor has it we are in for a very busy night of Warhammer 40k. The more, the merrier!
-
I will be there tonight, and I'm excited for more distinct gentlemanly snickering. A game would also be good.
-
At least one player returning to the game will be in tonight. He's from RI, works for Hasbro with Eric Riddlon (the dude with the SWEET Necrons that were in the case for a while). He's playing in the doubles but I don't think his partner will be around. Had a bunch of nice things to say about the store. :)

I met him tonight (I'm pretty sure his name is Chris), and this dude has one of the better Ork armies I've seen in person. It's full of nice touches here and there, and a dakkajet is a great centerpiece. Brad and him were just setting up as I left.
There were doubles practice games and singles learning games. Really good night, feeling good about the crowd lately. It feels like everyone is warming up.
-
Do you teach or show how to play?
I have been thinking of starting an eldar army but I don't know how to play so I was wondering do you have like people who could show me how to play
-
Llynch98: Yes, Several people are willing to take some type to let you watch a game and explain stuff to you. I know a few people would be willing to put a Demo game on for you so you can get an understanding of the rules.
-
It was a good night. Thank you Brad for explaining to me the nuances of a drop pod army as well as throwing down against Chris and his orks, I am looking forward to hearing how the game ended.
Now to get a damn army painted so I can take part in the madness again.
-
Tonight, I know we'll have more practice games for all the upcoming BG events (Doubles this Saturday!), along with the usual plastic man shenanigans.
-
I'll see you guys tonight. Lemme know if you want a game!
-
A Singles match for serious tournament practice.
A Doubles match practicing for this Saturday's tournament.
A 3v3 match of just silliness.
So. How was your Thursday?
-
I bought a New Hat.
-
So. How was your Thursday?
I finished painting a tactical squad.
-
That 3v3 was amazing. all I need to say is Big Baby Jesus.
-
Man... that does sound fun... one of these days I need to get myself up there on a Thursday night somehow.
-
Last night was AWESOME. 6 people is too many, even our 1000pt/person game took forever and a half, but I think there was a good time had by all, and I think some of the newer players learned some things. Plus, having Death Company running around with a 2+ cover save (courtesy of Shield of Sanguinius from my Libby Dread, and Invisibility from Tigurius) was HILARIOUS.
-
Hopefully be making it down this week. Anyone want to get a "Armour War" Game in for Practice?
And Ben are you going to be around? I want to talk to you about some stuff rattling inside my hat.
-
I should be around, but only a bit as I'm heading into a very busy weekend.
-
Ya sure I just want to talk to you about Mini-Pocalypse a little bit. The other Idea was like a Dreadnought/Walker Skirmish Arena Idea I was kicking around.
-
Ya sure I just want to talk to you about Mini-Pocalypse a little bit.
Minipocalypse is gonna happen. I'd like to have a day for it scheduled in advance so we can advertise it. Maybe event do 2 or 3 different games if we get enough people.
There's a walker thing in the works. After that we'll do a flier event using the rules from that campaign bookt hey put out a while back.
-
I didn't realize that you guys were already working on Mini-Pocalypse outside of it being mentioned. I was just going to bring it up and throw some cogs into the machine.
I also want to peg an idea off him and you sometime is an Event a Hobby Store called Grandmaster's did years back that was a big hit and you guys might like.
Right now I am trying to find a way to get the Armor Wars Day off. Work has been hectic with people needing days off quitting and etc.
-
I should be there this Thursday if anyone wants a game. I've been wanting to field my three looted wagons for awhile now.
-
I'll play you pat
-
I'll play you pat
Cool. The Leejun of Boom gets to see the light of day once again.
Also just so you know there's actually a song called Big Baby Jesus and it's made by MOTHER FU$%NG OL DIRTY BASTARD. It is incredible.

It's Thursday and I admit the only thing I know happening for sure is Warhams. Maybe you'd like to practice for the upcoming BG events, all the events?

no way come paint at the store

I think that an official, awesome minipocalypse needs to happen, no question. But I'm a man of action. I propose we do minipocalypse tonight. If we have relatively few people, we'll just call it micropocalypse. BRING YO MANS! 500 points, DOITDOITDOIT. I'm talking to you BOULANGER! ERRRRYBODY GET THEIR MANS!
MICROPOCALYPSE FTW!
-
micropoc could be fun
-
Four matches when I left, with a fifth getting underway.
We saw Wave Serpent spam go horribly wrong when a Drop Pod army gets first turn. A second try and a new deployment method seemed to work much better for the Tau/Eldar.
Bill Souza's first run with his sexy lady Eldar jetbikes, taking on Daemons. Seeing Fateweaver in the middle of waves of bikes was the coolest image I've gotten from a game in some time.
Tau and Grey Knights using Chaos conversions.
Orks vs Dark Angels in a battle of life-or-death fighting. Yup.
-
Salamanders on Bikes vs Salamanders Not on Bikes.
Bikes won because of an Ironclad Dreadnought :P.
Great to be back to Thursday 40k hopefully more of an occurrence than it has been lately.
-
Had an awesome game against Sam, as always very tight game but the Eldar Jetbikes were victorious. We were playing a Da Boyz mission and we were running:
Bill:
Farseer-jetbikes, runes of warding, spear

i'm sorry but i won't be able to make it this week.
-
I know people usually like showing up to play 40k, but occasionally I like to mix it up, even on a Thursday.
Is anyone interested in trying Death Angel, the Space Hulk card game? We play as Terminators and we are killing or being killed by Genestealers.

That was actually the first thing I bought when I found out Battleground Planeville existed...before I even started playing 40k.
It is a solid game. I was planning on stopping by tomorrow night after I put the kids to bed and would play a game or two.
-
I think I'll change things up this week and bring Orks.
-
I'm in Ben for some space hulk goodness.
-
Sadly, I will not be able to make it tonight. Work is grabbing my hand and punching me repeatedly in the face with it, shouting "Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself." Sigh. B****es. ::)
-
3 games tonight, but I was too wrapped up in deciphering Death Angel. Counter-intuitive rules that suddenly make all the sense in the world; took longer to figure out the rules than it did to play the game.
-
Tau Vs Necrons
Tau/Ultramarines vs Ultramarines/Dark Angels
Some other Game I didn't capture.
Decent Night. Like Ben Said once we Figured Death Angel Everything with it went rather smooth.
-
Somebody asked if there was a Space Hulk Deathwing game. Well, there's an FPS coming out, so you know that should be great if it's anything like the Space Marine game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FEJqChObHY
-
We have so many 40k events on the calendar, it's hard to know for which one to practice tonight. Armor War, 1850 Singles, 2500 Singles... heck, you can always practice for next week's Monster Mash! Let's fill the room like we can fill a calendar.
-
Unfortunately I can't make it tonight but I am off tomorrow if anyone wants a game.
-
There were a couple of games tonight, pretty quiet, but somehow mustered up a 6-person game of Death Angel and we won. Last time I'll bring it by, but it's pretty good. Back to focusing on table-top mayhem!
-
This Thursday is the MONSTER MASH event, so bring a Monstrous Creature model and get ready to smash all the face. There will be tables to still play your regular 40k games as well.
I will be out of town, so enjoy!
-
I will be out of town, so enjoy!
:( One fewer person for me to slaughter. Bummer.
-
Chase, do you have a model lined up to use? My Fateweaver in the case is up for borrowing for the night.
-
Bill Souza is giving him something was the last Rumor I heard.
-
Yeah I am bringing him something straight forward but very smashy!
-
Alright, this is happening. I'm taking tomorrow off from work, and I'm gonna hang out at BG all day painting my new shmexy Wraithknight (hey Chase, you guys have any Wraithknights?) so that it can maybe be kinda done by gametime.

Bravely bold Sir Brad
Rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Brad.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Brad.
...
...
Brave Sir Brad ran away.
("No!")
Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("no!")
Yes, brave Sir Brad turned about
("I didn't!")
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking ("I never did!") to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
("all lies!")
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Brad!
("I never!")
;D

-

Really? I took a jpeg that Chase made that referenced a club that I made up as a joke and made it into a tshirt. Movie lyrics with a find replace renders you speechless? ;D
I do. It's currently held for you.
Most excellent. See you tomorrow then.
-
Damn. I'm going out on the boat tomorrow. This means no wraithknight funtimes, no monster mash funtimes, and a shit ton of cold, possibly rainy, robot notsofuntimes.
:'(
Have fun guys.

For those who made the mistake of missing it... We're sorry my axe couldn't land in your head. (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151987089875619.1073741830.68808440618&type=1&l=d7b6d1d025)

anybody looking for a game tomorrow?
-
There's an 1850 point tournament this Saturday, so I imagine we'll have people looking to practice for that event.
-
Three games tonight.
Eldar vs Chaos Daemons and I think Blood Angels vs Chaos Space Marines. The third game shocked the community, as a rare Shark Marine sighting witnessed the Chapter Master (riding a shark) slaying a Swarmlord in mortal combat. Fun times!
-
there was also a chaos vs dark angels game
-
Thursday 40k will carry on in my absence. 1850 seems to be the number at which players are settling in.
I'm fighting off whatever sickness has been going around, seems to be a week-long thing. In other words, you do not deserve Nurgle's blessing.
-
I'm hopeing to get some game on thursday.
-
Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be there this Thursday but I'll be around Friday if anyone wants a game.
-
I'll be rolling in later than usual, and possibly leaving early. So... I'll be eager to talk about my new list at any rate.
-
I heard a different Ben, whom I'm also quite fond of, might pay Plainville a visit tomorrow.
Ben Hong should be in the house with his Marines looking for games, to paint, to chat, etc. He's in the area from New Jersey for the weekend. Hook him up!
-
I will definitely try to make that happen.
-
I've written up a new 1000 point list I'd like to test out if anyone is interested in a smaller sized game tonight.
-
We found a game for the visiting Ben that went into rolling dice just to see what would have/could have happened. There was also a spirited doubles match, something like Marines and Necrons vs Space Wolves and Tau. The rest of the store was pretty hopping, with RPGs and Magic. Thursdays have become quite cosmopolitan.
-
Was busily painting at home. Looking to get some games in soon.
-
You could be painting at the store. ;)

You could be painting at the store. ;)
That will be happening ;)

My first Thursday 40K at Plainville was amazing! Thanks for being so accommodating, guys! My only gripe about the whole weekend was that I never got around to seeing Chase.
Hopefully the next time I'm around we'll have more time to hang out.

No Thursday 40k this week, due to Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for Thursday 40k, trapped in a holiday of contradiction. Ho-hum, I'll just take the time off and work on a new tournament idea.

It's cool, dude. I talked to Cale throughout the whole weekend, and he mentioned you guys went to Providence for Craig's big 3-0.
We'll catch up soon enough, old friend. ;)
-
I'll be there tomorrow with the Orks. I'm up for either trying out some of these Attacker Defender scenarios Ben posted or to possibly experiment with some of this Dread Mob stuff if anyone's willing.
-
IT'S BACK.
Everyone showing up with newly acquired loot pilfered from BG's Black weekend sale? I'm showing up with at least one of my new toys.
-
attacker defender looks sweet
-
I'll be there with 1850 if I can finish building this model by tonight, otherwise it'll have to be 1500.
-
I think by the time I left, there were 4 games going and two already completed. Good stuff!
-
Based on everything else that's gone on at the store, it appears we're officially out of the November doldrums. It's my least favorite time of year. :)
-
Word on the street is that we had 17 for 40k tonight. Pretty good. Loving the end of fall. Always the slowest time of year.

Was it really that many? I guess so! Most people played a game or two, some others were painting/modeling. I guess a few others came to chat. Lots of buzz about the digital supplements.
-
I should be able to come up this week. I would like to try and set up some games against people who have superheavies/ D weapons they want to try out. I do not have any but would like to see if they are as unbalancing as everyone is worried about.

Hmmmmm.....We should have a Stompa versus Stompa fight at some point.
Haven't played a 40k game in 6 months...maybe I will stroll in with my Stompa this week.

We definitely should. Although my Stompa still has a long ways to go from being completed. This is essentially the basic concept for it.

I already love it....
I cannot wait for a new codex...it will give me the bug to start Orking up some new crazy stuff...
Maybe use that 3D printer that I am going to buy for my Design Class...since I have to learn to use it before teaching my students how to use it.
-
I hope lots of people do this. I will be anxiously watching this thread waiting to hear about how it goes :)
-
I think I'm gonna be proxying up some titans /w/ my game group tomorrow night as well.
-
We had a few games tonight, with the centerpiece being a Doubles match with Escalation rules... really just for a player to bring that big ol' Necron thing with a C'tan in the middle. Mixed reactions. I don't think that singular experience changed anyone's minds, other than some things won't be as powerful as thought.

We had a couple games last night. We have a new Grey Knights player that would like someone to teach him how to play. And my Shark Marines have a designation for their bike chapter. And that's my recap.
-
I'm taking this Thursday off, but I'm sure the store tomorrow will be quite busy.
-
I'm going to try to make it tonight, but I probably can't get there by 6:30. Are other people ever late and start smaller games? Any issue with someone just lurking to watch?
-

No problem what so ever. People come in at all different times and there should be someone there willing to play a smaller game. If not people will be more power than willing to let you watch a game and answer questions.
-
Last we had kind of a smaller turn out. We a game of Dark Eldar vs Orks/IG. A 4 way game of Orks and orks with IG vs Dark Eldar. I got to try out the Zhadsnark da Rippa biker boss. He seems like he would be a good addition to an Orks speed freaks army. Being able to scout a warbiker squad up is very useful. Only thing is he only has a 6+ save so even though he is toughness 6 and a power klaw that goes at imitative you really have to pick your battles carefully. There was also a game of space marines vs Tau.
-
White Scars with Dark angels vs. Taudar. Templecon prep. It was a close game. We played vanguard deployment, two objectives in deployment zone and the relic in the middle. It ended up being a close thing 6vp to 3vp in favor of the Marines. I finally found a way to deal with 3 riptides and not by ignoring them :)
I had my objective, slay the warlordand linebreaker. Tau had First Blood, Slay the Warlord and linebreaker. He couldn't get out to the relic and I couldn't keep units alive once I picked it up! Definitely a fun game.

Was the white scar bikes with grav guns that dealt with the riptides? or bikes in close combat?
-
First one went down from orbital bombardment from the chapter master and lascannon x2 + grav cannon from the centurions. Second Riptide was grav guns and regulaon the bikes and devastators with lascannons. The third one was brought down by the Ravenwing Command Squad (combination of plasma and rending hammers).
-
Centurions have been getting more and more love around here. People seem to think they make up their points all the time.
I love seeing cool looking, NEW models do well.
-
i'm planning on getting some centurions

There's supposed to be a snow storm Thursday., are people still going?
-
There's supposed to be a snow storm Thursday., are people still going?
Worst of it is supposed to be Thursday night/Friday morning. I'll be skipping Thursday 40k this week, stay safe out there
-
Anyone want to play earlier? Before the weather gets bad?
-
It's supposed to be snowing all day from what I understand. Safety first. I believe I'll be staying off the roads, and likely need to be shoveling the night away.
-
Does anyone want a steady job in which you get your ass whooped all the time and are too tired to do the fun things you once did?

I feel you man.
-
I still got to the store tonight with yet another donation of a 3200 count card box. :) But then I left early to go buy sneakers, for the aforementioned job. Lame indeed!
But there were a couple games in the works, someone new and interested, season veterans, casual guys. Just your usual diversity playing all the 40ks.
-
I even swung by just before 9pm. Watched the tail end of a game of 40k and there where was at least one other game going on as well.
-
Feeling competitive? 1850 this week, preparation for the TempleCon primer tournament this Saturday at BG.
Feeling like rolling dice and having fun? That still happens too.
-
I plan to be there hopefully to test out some more Dred mob stuff.
-
I'm going to be there.
-
Best showing in months. Four games running at once, lots of buzz in the room. I think the X-Wing tournament next week is going to make BG a very busy place to be. Looking forward to it!
-
Awesome. :)
-
fear me for tommorow i shall be bringing my 200pt nids and my newly assembled 1500 Dark Eldar.
Feeeeeeeeeaaaaaar.
also i will be there at noon painting.
-
1850 competitive. 1000 for Attacker/Defender tournament next month.
I plan on checking out some Star Wars X-Wing tomorrow night, can't wait to see if it lives up to the hype.
-
ooh attacker defender
-
I 'll be there tonight hopefully Phil and I can finish our Raiders vs Warkoptas fight.
-
Tonight as busy as the store can get without being overcrowded, right on the cusp.
In addition to the four 40k games, there was the X-Wing tournament (awesome, walked out with the starter box), Magic stuff, two RPG sessions and something else that escapes my memory at the moment. Literally something for everyone... except that guy who randomly walked in and thought there'd be room for a Twilight Imperium game. NOPE.
-
Word on the street is that it was an awesome Thursday all around. Exciting times. Positive news. Positive posts on the boards?
What's going on here!?!
-
I was even -gasp- told to consolodate my painting factory to make room for more awesome games.
Also my nids finally lost a game to Ryan's Salamanders.
-
Sorry I missed Thursday night. Anyone want to play on Saturday (1/25)? I can get to Plainville at about noon (or Abington if you prefer).
And if there are a couple folks that want to play, I actually prefer friendly 2v2 games.
-
Duh. Just saw doubles event scheduled at Abington. Anyone want to play at Plainville that is NOT in the main event?
-

I can come by Plainville Saturday. How many points were you thinking of doing?
-
Any point value you want. 1850? Do you prefer more or less than that? I haven't really put a list together, so I could do anything.
-

That sounds good I'll see you in Plainville around noon.
-
i shall as per usual be at the store from 12-12 painting and playing. my Dark eldar just need a little more love before they are ready at least paint wise.
-
4 games tonight, with a couple players really trying their hand at the new Tyranid codex.
-
Had a good game against nids last night and lost by points. It was a smaller game and I don't think my iron hands force scalled down well but the bugs didn't seem terrible, the flyrant with the str 10 psychic shooting attack was very good. Also, a word of warning to anyone travelling via route 1 on Thursday night, there is a speed trap near the plainville - north attleboro line. Saw a police cruiser in waiting the past three weeks in a row.

I've seen that as well. They also like to get the people who run the red lights at corner of rt 1 and 106. So don't do that. ;D
-
anybody want to play a 2000 pt game thursday vs my new nids?
-
Hello everybody!
The rumors of my demise (I hope there weren't any...) were greatly exaggerated. I *think* I will be out there tonight for some hanging out, chitchat, and maybe a smallish game or two.

4 tables running 40k tonight and the return of BRAD CLUB. Boom.
-
I should, um, actually practice for the 1000 point event. So I'll be looking to do that this Thursday. I'll give preference to anyone else planning to play in the event.

I'm in
-
I will probably be around for the first time in ages.
-
Ben, I'd also love to get a game in with you. I'll be at the tourney as well.
-
It is supposed to snow all day Thursday into Friday. I'm reading predictions between 2" and 12", meaning they have no idea what this storm is going to actually do.
-
Yeah, I have no idea if I'm going to make it. Thanks weather, putting Brad Club down...
-

I thought Brad club was a fan of drop pods? Drop pods don't care about snow!
-
Weather be damned, I'll probably be at the Battleground unless roads are beyond bad, but it looks like mostly rain all afternoon anyway so it shouldn't be bad. Then again maybe that's just the forecast in RI, it does seem to get far worse beyond that mass line and all.
-
If Brad shows up in a drop pod, someone had better let me know.
Apparently his robotics skills have grown too strong...

You're correct on all counts. That said, the FAA is being a real wuss about giving me drop pod clearance. That said, I could just ignore them, but that'd be a lot of paperwork. That said, I could just ignore the paperwork, but then things might get..... messy. I'm not *quite* ready to start the robot apocalypse.
If Brad shows up in a drop pod, someone had better let me know.

Due to reasons cited above, I will be arriving (or not arriving, weather pending) in a Mini Cooper (yes.). And yes, quite strong in this one :)

Not robot horror stories (ok, ok, none of those were my fault). Ocean horror stories yes. Severe boredom horror stories, yes. No INTERNETZ FOR WEEKS horror stories, certainly.
See you guys, or not, tomorrow!
-
Hey all,
Given the weather, I will not be making it down tonight. :(
Anyone interested in some President's day makeup 40k?
-
Roads = NOPE. Just brutal.
-
It was pretty quiet tonight. There was just one game of 40k between Shawns Iron Hands vs my Orks with Dread mob allies. It was an awesome game of Warkoptas, vindicators, scouting warbikers, burnas, and shokk attack guns that ended in a draw. There was also a couple games of X-Wing being played.
-
Parking lot was a sheet of ice tonight...Battlefoam for the win. Very nasty spill and only 1 sword broke....stupid finecast
-
Let's try again this week! Same proposal, I would like to practice for the Attacker/Defender tournament, 1000 points.
-
I'm in Ben. It's not supposed to snow.... But I don't trust it :o
-
Screw the Snow this week and lets get this thing going.
-
5 40k tables tonight, including a new group playing a 2v2 game. Most interesting were the post-game discussions around future rules, events and completely new versions of 40k people are brewing. I'm very interested to see how far all of this goes.
-
Brad Club racked up another 2 Victories against me after Ben Left. Good fun managed to get myself back into the swing of things.
-
I shall be pulling my noon to midnight Battleground fest so i can paint up these Dark Eldar and get a few games in. Unfortunatly the government has yet to give me my money so I am broke and unable to pick up the old one eye I so need.
-
The next tournament BG is hosting will be the Swedish Komp 1850 event in about a month. I have some ideas to spice up Thursday 40k in the mean time....

-
It does now.
-
Sigh. My parents are flying to town tomorrow, and while I love them very much, they will be impinging on my tiny plastic dudesmens funtime. I'll see you guys next week...
:'(
-
I found myself breaking down the Tyranid codex with some 40k lads. Some of the gaming tables were used, and the store was brimming as always. Like, seriously, Thursdays are hoppin'!
-
Next Thursday (March 6th), Erich will be in to host a painting workshop. Erich is good people, and he will judge the painting at some BG 40k events, so the man knows his stuff. It should be good, especially for the newer players we've been picking up lately. :)

Thanks Ben,
The workshop focus next week will be the airbrush.
-
If I don't have an airbrush but want to learn about using one to paint in advance of potentially buying one could I show up? Would it be a lesson at the complete noob level or something more advanced?
-

Going to start at the noob level as I know a lot of folks don't have an airbrush. Will be talking about prepping the model for airbrushing, mixing paint to the right viscosity, air pressure, cleaning the airbrush after use and so on. People will be free to try mine airbrush out a but to lat down some base colors so they can get the feel of one if they've not used the tool before. Then, if there is time I can show some quick technics for blending a base coat up through varied shades.
The airbrush is going to be popular so expect to see more than one workshop based around it.
-
I unfortunatly cannot make it this week as I have a wake I must attend.
-
I will be there this week for the fun and hillarity that will ensue from being there.
-
I am totally coming tomorrow.
-
There will be a painting workshop at Battleground, tonight!
-

Good to hear that. I would always love to get some tips for my airbrush, but house and school commitments are keeping me away from BG on Thursdays until April.
-
So I heard the store was packed last night. Thursday 40k!!
-
Honestly, just Thursdays in general now. 40k had its usual showing, which is lively enough, but much more than 40k going down on a regular basis these days. Almost 10 people turned out for Star Wars X-Wing minis. Some people practicing Modern Magic, and a Pathfinder game. And the paint demonstration. Some Warmachine. Some board game I've never seen before. Goodness, is that everything?
-
If only we could have had a cooking demonstration and a stand up comic.
-
The painting demonstration was awesome last night. I would recommend it highly, I learned a lot about airbrushing which is what I've been wanting to do for awhile.
I'm looking forward to future ones scheduling permitting.
-
Erich, excellent class on airbrush basics bith Brian and I enjoyed it and learned quite a lot! He's actually going to crack his open finally this weekend now that he's seen how simple it can be to use and take care of an airbrush. I'm drfinitely looking forward to whatever lessons you come up with for the next time.
-
I missed out Thursday and Saturday. Anyone planning on playing this Sunday (tomorrow)? I could play at either store, noonish start? More the merrier...
-
I would be happy to meet up Mbrenizer, preferably at the Plainville store. Let me know if you're interested.
-
Awesome, Brad. I'll try to get to Plainville around noon. This time I'm bringing a big bunch of Eldar. I've put together an 1850 list along the lines of the Swedish Komp system, coming in at 1 point. I'm interested in trying it out...
-
Sounds good. See you then.
-
Wanted to thank the people that came out to the first painting workshop and to the store for hosting it.
-
We'll host any time!
-
I have some projects at home I need to finish up before the weekend, so I won't be at BG tomorrow night. But I still expect the whole store to be rockin' and rollin' without me.
-
Aaaaand I'm sick. I count myself lucky it's only a head cold, and not this horrible stomach virus that's bouncing around. Back-to-back absences from yours truly.
Is anyone going to be practicing for the Swedish Komp event this weekend? My money's on this guy.
(http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111104173207/muppet/images/4/41/Swedish-chef.jpg)
-
Can't make it tomorrow unfortunately but I'll see everyone Saturday.
-
Any Good matches happen this Thursday?
-
There was a Komp practice match in continuing attempts to fix the rules, and a couple of casual matches.
-
There was Salamanders and Guard vs Ork Dread Mob with a Meka Dread warlord and Eldar.
-
i'm looking for a game with either my dark eldar or nids on thursday
-
In case people didn't catch it on Facebook: Battleground has shortened hours this week, since we're leading up to PAX East. As far as Thursday 40k goes, that means I'd like to have to store closed and locked at 10:00 PM (since I'll be heading up to Boston in the dark hours of the morn). Please plan your games accordingly. Thanks, folks!
-
Thursday 40k was 8 players strong this week, with some newer faces joining the fray! So glad the community has its momentum intact.
-
I had a great time last night got to Play my first 40k game ever with the Chaos Space Marines from the Dark Vengeance set. Played with Brian, Tom and John, awesome time. Looking forward to doing it again next week.

Yes, I had an excellent time having my poor marines bladevaned into mush and eviscerated by Chosen... WEEE! My next list is going to be much scarier and the pecs will be popping so you better watch yourself!
I might be ready for a 1000 point game sometime early next week if anyone will be around...?
(P.S. It's "Jon" with no H - I get that a lot)

AAAAAh The pecs lol, that was madness in itself.
You guys still won the war at the end. I will double the same squads by Thursday night, and will probably have some other fun figures to play with.
I am thinking of taking the Gopro Camera just to film randomness and/or game that is played.
-
Hey Brain, let's fight! Thursday, 1K points. My list is ready...are you man enough?

An Ork Dread Mob with 15 killa kans vs Astra Militarum
Chaos Space Marines vs Space Marines
Demons vs Eldar
So yeah lotsa 40k this week.
-

-
Anything to keep the Reavers away. ;)
-
I have 5 tac squads a command squad, a devastator squad, an honor guard and two rhinos left to paint.
It's the finallllllllllll couuuuuuntdown!

Shenanigans tonight? I will take what I have around 800 - 900 points of CSM. Still putting together other models to get more points and range options.

Shenanigans ALWAYS.
-
So today we had
Salamanders vs Eldar/Orks
Astra Militarum vs Necrons
Ork Dread Mob vs Dark Angels
And with that we bring 6th edition Thursday 40k to a close. Heres hoping 7th edition or 6.5 or whatever brings lots of demon summoning and warp periling good times. Especially since my 20 flesh hounds just arrived.
Yeah Yeah!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZIVP5alkbU
-
You kids and your fancy warp magic... When I was your age, we had magic too: we called it SCIENCE!
(pay no mind to the cranky old Necrons - they're grumpy after a long nap)
Looking forward to seeing how a non-psyker army will fair in the psychic phase.
-
Tomorrow's the first Thursday 40k with the new 7th edition rules. Would be a great to opportunity to really break in the new rule set. Bring that crazy infinite demon summoning list, bring that crazy unbound army of nothing but riptides, helldrakes, and wraith knights. Summon a Bloodthirster with your seer council, bring three primary detachments.
-
I can't wait for the faces of the newer players, "But this worked in 6th Edition!" :)
-
It should be a fun time!
-
Missing 40k Thursday for the Red Sox game... Not sure if it is worth it lol
-
Yesterday we had.
Eldar vs Space Marines
Tyranids vs Necrons
Space Marines vs Dark Eldar
Orks vs Orks
Astra Militarum vs Necrons
Lot of people trying out 7th edition. I only managed to summon Flesh Hounds once with my Orks so that was kind of sad. No one tried out the Maelstrom of War missions though.
-
Yesterday was pretty quiet.
Epic Salamanders vs Salamanders rematch now with 25% more super heavies.
Astra Militarum vs Necrons
-
I finally won! (Barely)
Who was victorious in the Nocturne civil war?
-
I finally won! (Barely)

To be precise, the fluff-accurate Salamanders ;) I challenged my opponent's Drop Pod cheese with my Unbound Tank Army cheese and barely managed to win (damn bike squad with storm shields nearly one-shot my superheavy though)
-
I'll have my knight ready for next week
-
Hi, I've been to the store playing 40k before a few times before life got interesting.
Now I'm looking to get my 7th ed on, and get a few games in and hopefully score a partner for the doubles tourney
any takers?
Email me for fast response
-
What army do you play?
-
who's up for an epic 2000 pt game tommorow?
-
I've got a date with some Eldar, but we'll see what happens...
-
who's up for an epic 2000 pt game tommorow?

Anyone interested in getting a 1k game to try out my army list?
I could be there for 530 or so
-
Last night there was.
Space Marines vs Space Marines
Necrons vs Space Marines
Space Marines vs Dark Eldar
Space Marines/Orks vs Orks and Chaos Space Marines

Hey guys!
I'm new, hopefully no one minds this little introduction. I collected but stopped a couple years ago before starting college and now I'm looking to get involved. I've never played a game so I'm hoping someone wouldn't mind showing me the ropes a bit. I have about 500 pts of Sister of Battle and some Guard I haven't finished excavating yet.
Now here's a minor issue, I have no books yet.. Would anyone mind if I used the previous WD Sisters of Battle Codex until I can get my hands on the newer digital one? I'm planning on making it out Thursday night if anyone wouldn't mind giving me a hand. Thanks!
-

Welcome!
You're in luck; we've got a great group of players of various experience levels, all of whom are helpful and friendly. It's pretty common practice for people to use whatever they have to hand and the atmosphere is casual so I see no problem with using the WD codex.
Turnout tends to be pretty good so I'm sure there will be someone around to grab a game with (maybe even me). The fun usually starts around 7 or a little bit before. See you then!
-
Wish I could have made it up last night, was supposed to be off but got the call at 4pm saying they needed me to come in after all. ARG! Just gives me another week to get some painting done. Bright sides and all that, right?

I couldn't make it either....pity, because i need to practice with my team-mate for the doubles tournament.
Speaking of which...if anyone wants to get some practice in before regular thursday 40k I'm up at Battleground wednesdays as well.
-
Tommorow 2500pt Malstrom of war who's in?
-
I can't make it this week but I'll be there next week with hopefully all sorts of new Ork stuff.
-
Tommorow 2500pt Malstrom of war who's in?
Too rich for my blood... Though if I can find a partner, I can scrounge up 1250.
-
Finally have 20 csm and a daemon prince, ready to hit the table, I'll be there around 730-8.
-
Looks like I won't make it after all... I've got a date with a live human woman (I swear!). Have fun guys!
-
Looks like I won't make it after all... I've got a date with a live human woman (I swear!). Have fun guys!
This is how it starts. FOCUS, MAN! This game won't play with itself!
That's what she said.
-
Fear not; I'll be back with a vengeance next week! Also probably going to drop by on Saturday to see how the Tourny is going.
-
can't make it tonight, but by next week i'll have some new additions to my army 8)

Let me guess... Forge World?
-
I'm told this Thursday had:
Iron hands/Orks vs SM and IG
Iron Knights vs Ultramarines
Iron Knights vs Space Wolves
Tau vs Eldar
-
Oh man! There was finally some Tau and I missed it... :'(
-
I'm told this Thursday had:
Iron hands/Orks vs SM and IG
Iron Knights vs Ultramarines
Iron Knights vs Space Wolves
Tau vs Eldar
Sounds about right. The doubles game took up most of my night but I think I saw some Tau and Eldar being pushed around behind me. All in all a good 40k turnout with some X-wing and a role playing game or two to fill up the store.
-

Nope. Grey Knights conversion for a double duty Honor Guard or Command Squad and a Stormraven gunship
FW models wont be added to my army for at least another month unfortunately...though i'm dying to pick up some Pyroclasts
-
I brought tau a few weeks ago as well
;)
-
Hope to see a better turnout tonight than last week! Come on out and let's throw down, gents.
-
Far better turn out this week.
We had
Tau vs Space Marines
Eldar vs Necrons
Tyranids vs Space Marines
Space Marines vs Space Marines
And a couple rounds of Ork Vengeance. Plus some new faces.
-
Pretty slow night tonight.
We had
Space MArines vs Orks
Death Wing vs The new and improved Bully Boyz Deff Wing
Don't forget there's also weekend 40k too.

I will be back in about 3 weeks, I hope :-[ :-\, but I am building the CSM up ;D, finally finished putting together a set of Obliterators, Mutilators, 5 Raptors (have another 5 to go), 6 Bikers (have 3 more to go), 20 CSM Tactical (have a couple more to go), Abbadon the Despoiler, Chaos Warlord with Jumppack.
I should have a good amount of List options to try out by then. Just got the Helbrute Dataslate and would like to try a list with 2 or 3 Helcut attached.
I can't wait to get my schedule back to normal.
-
Will my milkshake bring all the boys to the yard tonight? I hope so...
-
Last we had.
Orks vs Demons
Orks vs Space Marines
Good to see more Orks showing up again.
-
It's that time of the week again. Lets hope we canine get a better turnout than the past couple.

You know I'll be there!
-
Last night we had
Astra Militarum vs Orks
Salamanders vs Dark Angels
Another slow night.
-
Where oh where has everyone been?! I just know that because I won't make it next week that's when everyone will show up...
-
Where oh where has everyone been?! I just know that because I won't make it next week that's when everyone will show up...
It was pretty slow around this time last year I believe too.
-
Over the years, there are definitely up periods and down periods. Summers get tricky, because people like being outside, for some reason.
-
What's this "outside" you speak of?
-
Last night we had
Astra Militarum vs Space Marines
Orks vs Space Marines
Chaos vs Space Marines
Necrons vs Dark Angels I think
Space Marines vs something else.
So yeah big turnout last night.
-
Dammit! I knew the one time I don't go people would start showing up.
-
I'm happy to report that due to finally being made into a regular at work I got to pick a new schedule. This new schedule includes Thursday nights off and so I can start attending again. Having only played 0 games of 7th edition and only a small handful of 6th edition I'm going to need some help re-learning the game when I come up next week with my guardsmen. A buddy of mine might be showing up on Thursday as well and wants to learn how to play. Anyone up for the challenge?

Awesome news! Congrats! :D
-
Had good turnout tonight. We had
Space Marines vs Astra Militarum
Space Marines vs Space Marines
Space Wolves vs something
Orks vs Dark Angels
-
I'm planning to come by on Thursday night with my space wolves. I played Pat last Friday, but other than that I have been on a five edition hiatus and I am just getting back into it. I'm just (re) learning the rules so if anyone is up for a game and willing to be patient, that would be great!
-
I will be there this Thursday, finally ;D :o ;D I am working on a list now so I can print it out and have it handy to help me get used to the Stats, I am having trouble remembering them, besides Rules and how to play the game and tie my shoes.
What are the points people are taking? so I can get more than one list if need be.

I usually try to run an 1850 point game, though this thursday i might try to run some 1500 pt lists in preparation for the Boots on the Ground Tourney in a few weeks
-
Awesome 1500 Sounds like a good number to go for. I am just having the problem of not finding my Rule book, I have the other 2 books and the Book Sleeve but can't find the Rule book for some reason. This sucks. :-[
-

What army do you run?
-
Chaos Space Marines.
-
The one codex i dont have on pdf ::)
-
lol, I have the Codex, the Core Rule Book is the one I can't find, I seriously hope I did not lose it.
-
That would be a real bummer... At least there should be plenty of folks with the rulebook, in case you need to borrow.
I'm bringing my space zombies out to play this week. Here's hoping it's a good turn out!
-
Found a Quick reference Sheet over at DakaDaka, so I at least have that for tonight :-\ ??? I Should be at Plainville by 8pm, hopefully sooner if I don't get traffic going down.
-
Had a Great Game Last Night Against PeterG, His Space Wolves tore through the Chaos Space Marines. Immobilized Helbrutes are just giants sitting ducks when they can't pivot towards the enemy :'( CSM's with the Icon of Vengeance make for fun times locked in Assault Combat. Land raiders are a pain in the ass to attack if not equipped to deal with them :o. Hope to see everyone after Labor day (hopefully before)
-
A good turnout last night for sure! We had something like five tables going, some with 3 or four players. It's just a pity my own game had to end early. Still fun!

sorry mate
-
No need to apologize. Life happens.
-
I am planning to be there sometime around 5 on Thursday. Anyone interested in a match? I'm not sure if I will be in the boots tournament this weekend, but I can bring either a list for that tourney to try or a more standard force.
-
I will be showing up by 7 This Thursday. Anyone else coming out to play? (http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llfs8mxSlz1qhspilo1_500.gif)
-
I'll probably be there, though I have to warn you all that I'm mostly sleep-deprived these days... I may resemble a Plague Zombie.
-
I plan to be there around 5.
-
I might be able to make it tomorrow around 6 or so, I'd have 2000 points of iron hands space marines, might be fielding some new models from the Dark Vengeance box set I picked up today, so some might not be painted
-
I'll be there (finally)
-
We had
Space Marines vs Space Wolves/Grey Knights
Orks vs Tau
Necrons vs Space Marines/Astra Militarum
Looks like 40k is starting to pick up again.
-
I will be showing up again at 7 pm this Thursday with a 1507 list, I've tried to get it to 1500 with what I want to use but just have not made it >:( :o
-
Hoping to see a bunch of people messing aroun with 750 lists at the store on Thursday!
-
I cant quite scratch up 1500 pts. of space zombies so 750 is a distinct possibility.
-
750 Sounds Good, I will work on that list for Thursday
-
I'll plan to show up with a 750 list too.
-
Would anyone like to play a game 750 this thursday? I haven't played a game of 7th ed yet and would like to, before the turni.
-
I will be showing up again at 7 pm this Thursday with a 1507 list, I've tried to get it to 1500 with what I want to use but just have not made it >:( :o
I can play at 7:00. It doesn't look like I'm getting out of work till later anyway.
-
Hey, it's anyone going to be there around 4-5ish that would want to take on some space marines? I know everyone and their mother pays marines, but I'd still like to get in a game, I can do up to 2000 points
-
Nice to see a few 750 games a couple weeks out from the tournament last night!
-
So what is the target points this week??
-
I'm planning to bring Space Wolves / Grey Knights that will be flexible to pretty much any point value, though I think I will be looking to play 1500+. I'll be trying to get there around 5.
-
I'll probably aim for 1000 as per usual... Don't know what time I'll get there.
-
Well, this sucks, it looks like I might have to miss tonight, dammit. I will post up tomorrow if I can make it out during the weekend if anyone is interested.
-
Anyone up for a 2v2 this Thursday? I have a friend coming and he would prefer to play on my team than against me for his first game.
-

I'm down for that ;D
-
Cool, hopefully we can find one more interested person. We will be there by 5.
How many points? 1000 per person? 1250?
-

I might be interested, is it a 2v2? How many points?
-
Yeah, it will be 2v2. My friend has never played so he wants to be on a team for his first game.
Points are up in the air. 1000-1500 per person seems like a reasonable range.
Edit: what time will you two get there roughly?
-
Ok, I'd recommend just 1000 points per player.
-
idc one way or the other
-
Slow night last night, but still good fun.
We had:
Dark Eldar & Space Marines vs. Eldar and Grey Knights
Space Marines vs. Space Marines
-
Don't know if I'd consider six players a slow night...
So who won?
-
In the 2v2, we had to call it before we could finish.
In the other game, I'm not sure but I bet it was space Marines.
-
I'll say that the 2v2 game was a great way to meet a lot of new players in a very short time. Nice to put faces to forum names.
-
2v2 games were always excellent to get people meeting one another.
-
So my brother finally has his Tau ready for a game, he has 1082 Points he is looking for his first game ever, he is like me super iffy with rules :-[ :o . I will be taking my CSM at 1100 points as well.
I need to get myself a new rulebook, so I am going to be putting up the Art Books for sale to supplement the purchase, so if you are interested check out the my post in the Trading selling section.

-
I should be there this Saturday. I have a super heavy Ork tank now if people feel like messing around with Lords of War.
-
Last night we had
Space Marines vs Grey Knights / Space wolves
Orks vs Chaos Demons
Tau vs Eldar
-
What time do people get started down there for 40K? making the trek from Abington next Thursday.
-
What time do people get started down there for 40K? making the trek from Abington next Thursday.
5:00-6:00 usually.
-
Thx. I might be down a little after that.
-
Last night there were 4 tables of 40k, which is the most I've seen since The Edition That Shall Not Be Spoken.
-
Anyone up for a 1850 practice game tonight? I can be there by 6-630.
-
Last night was pretty quiet.
We had
Orks vs Space Marines/Astra Militarum
Space Marines vs Space Marines.
-
I should be back next Thursday, I've been under the weather lately, I plan to take a 1500 CSM point list. My brother might go as well with his Tau at 1100? maybe more, not sure, will double check that by next Thursday.
-
I might just show up this Thursday... I'm nostalgic. Thinking of scraping together some old marines and trying an interesting list with Forge World chapter tactics (Executioners perhaps?). Small values though; maybe 750.
-
750 Points sounds good as well.
-
Anyone want a 40K game? I'd bring my usual 1850 list, but could easily play 1750 or 2000. Hoping to face something different: Tau? Necrons? Imperial Knights? Eldar?
-
Me and a couple of people should be going. Shaun should be there with his Eldar and Jay might be there with his Tau.
-
Great! Thanks, for the info, Pat.
-
I'm going to show up Thursday with the hope of playing an 1850 list I may take to the tournament. Anyone interested in playing?
-
I'd be interested in playing. The list I have done so far I think needs some extra work, so I want to try one last setup before I finalize it
-
I'm planning to go again this week. Anyone up for 1850 pt tournament practice? I'd be willing to schedule something a different evening, too.
-
I might be, but no promises.
-
Is anyone going tonight?
-
Yeah I'm here. Sorry I forgot to check the post earlier.
-
I didn't end up going, the headlights on my Truck went out. Had to replace the bulbs today.
-
So who's heading up this Thursday?
-
I might be up for a game, but it depends on the roads around here. They aren't in the best shape
-
Well hopefully I'll see you there.
-
This coming Thursday February 5th, who's up for a game 1000 points?
-
This coming Thursday February 5th, who's up for a game 1000 points?
I might just make it this time. Have to see how my schedule shakes out, though.
-
I should be there tomorrow as well.
-
Running a bit late but I am on my way... Damm Boston traffic
-
Anyone coming out tonight for 40k?
-
Hi all- I've recently got back into the hobby after being away for over 10 years.. It's been a LONG time since I played a game. I have put together a large Chaos army over the last few months. I've got a small tourney amongst friends in a few weeks and looking for a game to try out a list and refamilarize myself with rules... I've actually never played 7th edition, but do have a rulebook I've read through a few times.
Anyone up for a game this Thursday evening in Plainville? ( March 5 ).
Having fun is more important to me than winning, I'm a casual player who is in the process of relearning the game.
I have a large army and lists I can scale anywhere from 1500-2500 pts.
-
I should be there this Thursday unless MBTA freezes over again.
-
Khorne: what time are you planning to be there? I'm planning to come down and we could get in a 2000+ points game of you'll be pretty early.
-
I have to work all day but can probably be there by 5... Maybe a little earlier if traffic isn't bad.
-
KhorneOnTheCobb is the best forum name in a long time.
-
Haha - thanks
-
Anyone up for a game this week?
-
I Should be there by 7 on Thursday. What is the points everyone is looking to be playing with so I can make my list.
-
I'm up for 400 or 500 point skirmishes / 1000 pt games / 1250 pt games / or 1500 point games... I'll probably have a list or 2 for each so whatever people want to play.
-
I might just make it out this week... No promises, though! I'm always up for a smaller sized game, between 500 and 750 is my sweet spot.
-
I'll be taking a 750 list. See you guys tonight
-
I'll probably be there around 7:30
-
Me and some other people should be there.
-
So who is coming Thursday?
-
I'm gonna be there
-
I'll Be there as well.
-
Anyone coming for a game tomorrow? I'd be interested in something. I can do around 2000 points
-
I'll be there with space wolves. I'll plan to bring lots of points.
-
Hey, I think I left my head phones somewhere in the store? They're ear buds but they have a self-winding device on them so pretty distinctive.
Did anyone see them?
-
I didn't, but I'm not sure if employees regularly check this thread. If anyone found then they may have given them to Sam. Try calling and asking if anyone turned them in?
-
We probably have them. We find stuff like that on a daily basis. I'll post back here later once I get to the store and have a minute to confirm.
-
They are here behind the counter for you.
-
sweet! Thank you!
-
If I go tonight , I won't be able to make it until around 7:30-7:45.. Is anyone down for a game at a little smaller point value at that time tonight?
-
Is anyone going to be there this Thursday? I was hoping to try and get some practice games in for the upcoming tournament.
-
I'm going to be there Thursday. I haven't had the time for a game in a looooooooong time, so I've been really itching for one. I will, however, be quite rusty.
-
Me and maybe one other person should be going so I'll see you there.
-
I'll probably be there if I get out of work on time.
-
So anyone up for a game this Thursday?
-
New schedule is in and I'be finally got Thursday nights. Starts on the 30th, I've got 2 weeks to get my new guard army built! Even though I still can't decide on the bases. Traditional basing or clear bases???
-
Is anyone up for a game tonight?
-
Yeah thier should be at least a couple people coming.
-
It's for the greater good chase.
-
Something odd that I've noticed lately. Instead of working on my new guard liked should be, I've instead been interested on and busy working with my marines. The past week as seen 2 whirlwinds and land speeder build. A land raider redeemer in the building stages and me frantically searching for all of marine bits and vehicles. Once the raider is done (or like built in concert) I'll be building the soldiers from dark vengeance and stormfront.
-
Hello there my name is Cory. I just brought a Deathstrom kit and me and my buddy have been building up the armies for a few weeks now. I would really love to caught a game or two at the shop sadly work hours keep me away for the most part. It's sad to say i have yet to play my first game yet to busy painting and reading wonderful blood angels fluff.

If you can't make it Tuesday night let pat and I know we can meet with you perhaps at a more convenient time to show you the ropes. Word to the wise though. Pat will show you how to play, get real friendly like, then kick you into a bottomless pit screaming orks rool! Humies drool!
-
Pat, would you like me to rename this thread to Tuesday 40k?
-
Thank you and this Wednesday would work great for me just with this weeks work schedule and all. Any help is great my only friend who played warhammer has played since 4th ed so he is a little bit helpful but some of the changes still are getting to him.
-
Pat, would you like me to rename this thread to Tuesday 40k?
Sure if you don't mind.
-
All set! Let me know if you would need anything else.
-
Do you have a hat for Tuesday Night Ben?
-
Hats are your department, bro. Or is yours worn so tightly your brain suffocated and forgot?
-
Grrrratyou Games Workshop. My order shipped but the main item wasn't listed so I called. They were notable to honor my order of an Imperial Fist SM book! So frustrated now.
-
Your friendly neighborhood Battleground man. Gotta use Battleground. ;)
Remember, things that are "web exclusive" are NOT web exclusive if you let me know you want it.
-
I keep forgetting wen exclusive doesn't mean web exclusive. A lesson I may some day fully learn!
-
So Tuesday night I will be there with the CSM and my brother is finally taking his Tau 1080 points. Looking forward to seeing everyone again
-
Sounds good! When I left last week around 630 there were 12 people there getting ready for games.
Tuesday 40k is off to a decent start. The crowd seems relatively new and enthusiastic too. I'm digging it.
-
Yup, that's what I saw when I came to visit. About a dozen players, pumped for Warhams.
-
Hopefully I'll find out tomorrow what bid I got at work. Was told I have one of two, one of them has Tuesday off. So I have a 50/50 chance of getting my Tuesday's. Hopefull!
-
I should be there tomorrow so I hope to see everyone.
-
Hi guys, I'm new to 40K, have currently been (still am) working on my first Ultramarine force. I'll be in tomorrow to sit in on a game, learn a bunch of stuff, should be fun. Name's Chris by the way
-

Awesome! I love hearing this sort of stuff. Seems like we're going to have a few new guys in the house tomorrow.

Headed up to Plainville yesterday to pick up a couple of things and stopped at work to check the new job assignments. Got my first pick, the job I wanted with Tuesdays off! It starts on July 11, so I'll be up on July 14th (the day after my birthday!) to get my first game of 7th edition. I'll need some training, if anyone is game. I never did get around to building my new guard army, instead I've been slowly building a SM army. I'm planning to have a 1500-2000 point built and with me on the 14th.

Sounds cool Hopefully we'll see you then.
-
It's Tuesday again so who's coming out tonight?
-
So the biggest question I've been wrestling with on my new SM chapter, the Ghal Maraz, is color scheme! The top runner, and likely choice was gold as the base color with other colors through into the mix to offset the gold and to denote various aspects of the army. Veterans with white helms, Sergeants with red. Colored shoulder pads to denote position, rank and honors. The biggest problem I was seeing was a lot of work in the painting area, or getting and learning how to use an airbrush, and going also going through a lot of gold paint. Well, now we have the Age of Sigmar that has fallen, and they basically stole that color scheme from me! They are even introducing a gold spray paint! Of course, now I feel that if I go with this color scheme, it's going to look like I'm ripping off the new game and what they are trying! Especially if I buy some of the new Order units and use them in my army.....
That said, can I place an order for
Retributor Armour Spray
Retributor Armour (Base)
Flayed One Flesh
Liberator Gold
Or in easier terms, the new spray and the 3 new paint pots.
-
Does anyone have an Imperial Knight super heavy? I am looking in to measure the legs for a conversion.
-
The begining marines of The Ghal Maraz are nearly done. I've re-purposed 9 previously built marines into the army. The remaining 11 of the two tac squads just need heads, shoulder pads and 10 need backpacks.. all 3 are needed on the 5 sternguard vets and the 5 man command squad. The 5 assault marines just need their jump packs affixed. The captain is done, though his shield hasn't been glued on (holding off on that until he's painted). The only units that need full assemble are the centurion devastators. All of them need bases still. All total, the force is about 1400 points, still some fine tuning to do on it though. They should all be done for Tuesday aside from the priming and the painting. Need to get up to the store to get the gold spray that just came out!
-
Is anyone looking for an 1850 game around 4 pm today?
-
Works for me, see you then. Should I bring a super-competitive list or a more casual list?
-
Stomp my face in! And lets call it 4:30?
-
Okay, see you at 4:30.
-
I'll be there around six looking for a 1850 game, but I'll mve up or down if you give me time to modify the list.
-
Pretty good crew there tonight, despite missing a handful of the usual suspects.
:)
-
Hey, great game! You left your measuring tape and a grey die. I left them behind the counter for you.
-
Thank you! I was in a rush. Really great game, we'll have to get a rematch when I go get my tape measure!
-
I was reading over the rules for the 2015 NOVA, and I noticed that they restrict you to two detachments, like the tournaments at Battlegrounds. I am definitely no expert on ork list building, but I think that you had to have three for the (Painboy and grots - CAD), (Green Tide - FD), and (Daemons - CAD). I'm not sure you said you were planning on taking THAT list to NOVA, but if so, and if I am correct about the detachments used, you might want to verify that the list is legal for NOVA. Good luck if you do end up going!
-
Anyone going to be there early tonight? Looking for a game around 430 if anyone is up for it.
-
Peter, I'll be there more like 6 if you still want a game.
-
Lost a mini 40k rulebook tonight. If anyone finds themselves with an extra rulebook, it's mine.
-
Lost a mini 40k rulebook tonight. If anyone finds themselves with an extra rulebook, it's mine.
I think I might have accidentally handed it off to Peter thinking it was his.
-
I'll double check that I have two and if so I'll bring it on Tuesday
-
With the upcoming moving of the Plainville store, is there any anticipation to the 40k day changing? I only ask because there's only a limited number of jobs in my area and they don't come up often. I know that the Thursday/Friday bid is coming up In the next cycle.
-
There is no plans to change the 40k night.
I can say for sure that it won't be changed to Thursday or Friday.
-
looking to grab a game of 40k tomorrow. i've got about 1850pt sisters and more tyranids than i care to count. it's a long drive so i'd rather have a game scheduled than just drive down and hope to find a pickup game, so let me know if you're interested.
-
Tomorrow we'll be running a bunch of 400pt "Combat Patrol" games and pitting players against each other.
Small armies. Cool rules. Quick games.
-
GET YOUR GAME ON!

I'm coming in. Will bring plenty of points.
-
Hi folks, is anyone going to be there on the 25th around midday? I know that's pretty early...
-

I just recently moved to the area, and I'd like to visit today. I've got vanilla Marines.

Cool. There's another newer guy here now too that plans on sticking around to play later.

Edit: something came up looks like I can't make it tonight after all. I should be there next week though.

I'll be making a return trip this evening with my Orange Marines. Anyone else plan on showing up?

I cant make tuesday events until mid december, i ended up stuck with class from 5-730 on tuesday nights.
Which is a little handy because i still have like $300+ of AdMech and Skitarii to buld and paint before i can do a big game of any kind
-
There should be a decent turnout for Comabt Patrol tonight.
400pts. 730pm.
-
I plan to swing by this evening. Anyone else going to be there?
-
I'm not sure whether I can make it, but what time will you be getting there?
-
Likely 6:30ish
-
I'd like to get in a game tonight, 1250 to 2000 points, but willing to go in either direction from there. Anyone up for it?
