Title: Weekend 40k
Post by: Pat.H on July 04, 2014, 08:10:07 AM
So some of the guys were talking Sunday about trying to set up more games on the weekend since not everyone can make it Thursdays in Plainville. So rather than have people starting a bunch of different threads I figured I'd start a single thread like the Thursday one so people can set up games and post their availability. So yeah set some games up. Just make sure you check the events calendar to make sure there isn't like Warmachine or X-Wing event going on.

I play in Plainville but the weekends I work I can head to Abington afterwards.

This is a great idea.  Though this weekend isn't really good for me I'll definitely be looking to pick up more games on Saturdays/Sundays. I may also have a third army by then... I know, I have a sickness.

Great idea. I'm also a weekender. How about Sunday, July 13? I know it's a ways off, but that's how I have to plan shit these days...

I think this will be successful, BG has a lot of 9-5'ers and rushing home from work and going to Thursday 40k is not ideal for many. I'm always down for weekend games
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Grandmaster Steve on July 04, 2014, 03:04:46 PM
Saturday used to be the official GW day of BG Abington back in the day. we could always take it back?

I would love to join some games in Abington. I haven't had a chance to play in a while due to my work schedule but it just started to even out. I can go to any games on Tuesdays at Abington and possibly some other days depending on my work hours. I also want to have a chance to start exploring the new edition with a couple of other players. I have a dark angels army and hope to get some games in to expand my experience.

im available any night except monday
Title: Re: Weekend 40k

That sounds good to me. Would you want to schedule a game for this upcoming Tuesday to start?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Grandmaster Steve on July 04, 2014, 07:04:44 PM
Sure! Just so you know I use an army from Forge World. But they can be adapted to use standard Marine rules. Their special rules are just my usual leader and their chapter tactics been defeated plenty of times XD
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Darkdat on July 04, 2014, 09:20:24 PM
I have never actually played a forge world army before so it should be an experience and how many points would you want to make the game? And what time would you want to meet on Tuesday?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k

I thought this topic was for weekend games...
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Grandmaster Steve on July 04, 2014, 11:35:49 PM
i can be there when ever and I have 1500 to 1850 available. I will also be in the store tomorrow
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Darkdat on July 05, 2014, 12:50:17 AM
Ok I am able to be there whenever on Tuesday as well how about we plan on meeting at about noon? And I might be swining by battlegrounds tomorrow night depending on when I actually get out of work. And I am pretty sure I can do the 1500 to 1850 depending on how I set my army up.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Grandmaster Steve on July 05, 2014, 01:05:30 PM
ill probably be there around 1. Tuesday hope to run into you today!
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Darkdat on July 05, 2014, 01:23:06 PM
Ok sounds good and it all depends when I get out of work tonight if I can make it over.

Anyone up for a game Sunday?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Ian Mulligan on July 05, 2014, 06:07:03 PM
Just a heads up: There's a bunch of folks heading in on Sunday to play Necromunda and all the 40k terrain hasn't made it back to Abington yet. Someone will have a sparse table.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Chase on July 05, 2014, 11:50:35 PM
There's plenty of terrain in Abington.

Edit:  In the interested of total transparency, I took exactly 6 buildings (one table).
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Ian Mulligan on July 06, 2014, 12:54:13 AM
Weird. The cabinets were almost empty on Thursday.

EDIT: You probably took big ones and I noticed reduced volume rather than quantity.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Grandmaster Steve on July 06, 2014, 11:30:40 PM
im going to have to cancel Tuesday. I have an appointment to find out what caused all my fish in my 60 gallon to die and fix the water.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Darkdat on July 07, 2014, 01:40:16 AM
Ok no problem depending on when you're available hopefully we can have a game or two later in the week. I am available after 7:30pm on Wednesday and then Thursday and Friday I'm working late. We could also do Tuesday night depending on how everything goes for you and your fish.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Pat.H on July 07, 2014, 11:23:28 PM
I have to head up to Boston Saturday so does anyone in Abington want to try to get a game of 40k in? If not I can head to Plainville later in the day.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Brainvictim on July 08, 2014, 10:06:22 AM
I need to get into more games, but as of right now, my calendar has been wonky.   Just got back from a long camping trip this past weekend.  I will be heading off to Chicago the first weekend of August, so getting ready for that.  I will be posting a day or two before hand once I figure out what time I have available.  Hoping to make it out Thursday, but that is looking iffy as of now.

Just an FYI for this weekend there is a magic Prerelease.

Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Chase on July 08, 2014, 04:00:07 PM
I'm positive there will be space for a game or two or three.

If you come in this weekend there will likely be lots of people at the store.  If you'd like to play a miniature game just ask whoever is behind the counter where you should set up.

Steve D is awesome, he's also got nothing but a "woe is me" attitude on these boards.  Don't pay attention to that stuff.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k

I'm heading up to Boston Sunday 27th. Anyone in Abington up for some 40k in the afternoon?

Is there interest in getting a big game together on Sunday? I haven't secured "permission" from the wife yet, but the fact that a big game was happening and I can't miss it! would really help my case...
Title: Re: Weekend 40k

Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Nathan B on August 29, 2014, 08:31:52 PM
Looking for a Plainville game Sunday.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on August 29, 2014, 11:43:08 PM
I'm interested in a game any day this weekend. I'm equidistant from Abington and Plainville. Who wants to, when and where? And how many points?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on August 30, 2014, 08:28:34 AM
Monday is my best day to play. Plainvile is closer, but only by a little bit. I prefer larger games; my favorites are with a group (doubles). Can we get enough people to show up on Monday and play a pickup game or 2?

Otherwise I'll throw out an offer of 2000 points on Monday at Plainville, whenever the store opens. I'll bring either space marines or Eldar (2 choices to avoid the mirror match).
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on August 30, 2014, 02:19:41 PM
I'm up for a combined game or for a 2000 pointer. I will plan to be there at opening time on Monday. Let's see if anyone else is interested in a team sort of game. Otherwise, I'll be bringing space wolves.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on August 30, 2014, 09:20:47 PM
Sounds great. I haven't played against new wolves yet. I'll probably bring Eldar.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on August 31, 2014, 05:07:21 PM
Internet shows normal opening time in Plainville is noon. Does it open earlier on a holiday Monday?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Chase on August 31, 2014, 06:44:15 PM
Nope.  I'll probably get there between 11:55am and 12:00pm.  :)

I'm actually going to be around Saturday. I was supposed to be playing John but he had to back out at the last minute. I'll be at Plainvile around 12:00 if you wanted to get a game in.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on September 06, 2014, 05:26:26 AM
Just saw your reply. I doubt I'll be able to make it. If I can ill let you know. Good luck.

I'm out of town this week (and weekend). How about Sunday 9/21?  Enough time to round up people for multi-player?

Did you want to play in Abington or Plainville? I have to go to Boston Sunday so I could swing by Abington afterwards. Also keep in mind there's a couple Magic events going what with the new release and everything.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on September 19, 2014, 02:33:06 PM
Right!  If it's anything like other pre release weekends then there will be absolutely no space. We should find another weekend.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on September 19, 2014, 11:21:14 PM
Another weekend it is. How about next Sunday?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k

I'll be around this weekend if anyone wants to play some 40k.

Tomorrow at 1pm in Plainville.  If that works for anyone, just let me know points to set up a list
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Pat.H on October 03, 2014, 01:16:26 PM
I can be there tomorrow at  Plainville at 1:00. If your interested. I can as many points as your comfortable with.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Brainvictim on October 03, 2014, 02:05:05 PM
Sounds Good, I liked the 750 Point List.  Going to Tweak it, probably try a different HQ.  But I felt comfortable with that size points.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Pat.H on October 03, 2014, 02:18:42 PM
Sounds good I'll see you then.

Post by: Mbrenizer on October 04, 2014, 05:07:54 PM
I obviously didn't make it. My weekends recently have been swamped with family life. Damn family.

I still want to get in on some multiplayer. Next weekend is also a bust for me, though, but Oct 18 could be a great option. Can we arrange a match and some teams/armies/strategies ahead of time?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on October 04, 2014, 07:02:13 PM
I can tentatively be on for Oct. 18th. I can bring Eldar or imperial factions.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on October 09, 2014, 06:40:24 AM
Doubles tournament is scheduled for the 18th, but it starts too early for me. Post-tourney game(s) for fun on Sunday the 19th?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on October 19, 2014, 12:56:47 AM
Nobody replied but I would be up for doubles tomorrow. Anyone else?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on October 19, 2014, 10:50:41 AM
I can't make it today after all. (Sunday 10/19).

But next weekend for sure. I have a ton of newly painted units across a couple different armies. I would love to get them their first "action".

My schedule next weekend is wide open after noon on Saturday.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on October 21, 2014, 10:20:34 PM
If other people are interested, I can probably make it down for a few hours this weekend.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on October 22, 2014, 10:42:49 PM
Starting at 1pm on Saturday? Sounds like we have 2. Two more?

Guess no one else is interested?
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on October 24, 2014, 09:04:07 PM
Peter, do you still want to play? I'll bring chaos space marines. Got some stuff I've never used before (new to me).  If others show, we can reset.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: PeterG on October 24, 2014, 09:36:39 PM

Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on October 25, 2014, 04:19:50 AM
You mentioned "a few hours" of availability. Does that mean a big game or a quicker one? I'll make up a few options between 1500-2000 points (a 1500 core plus some add ons). We can decide when we get there.

See you at one.
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
Post by: Mbrenizer on October 25, 2014, 08:21:34 AM
It came together at 1850. I'll bring extra models if you want to flex to something else.

I'm heading up to Boston Saturday so Ill be swinging by the store in Abington hopefully around 1:00 - 2:00 if anyone is looking to play some 40k. I know one other person is coming but if anyone else wants to come by feel free
Title: Re: Weekend 40k
