ShadowCrescents Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Is anyone going to GamesDay in Chicago this year? I just wanted to see how many people would be there this year from this particular site. I know of a few other people from a different site and will really enjoy seeing them again. If anyone from this site is going, are you going to sign up for any of the contests in the form of banner contest, costume contest, speed painting, conversion contest, etc?, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gornall Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Is anyone going to GamesDay in Chicago this year? I just wanted to see how many people would be there this year from this particular site. I know of a few other people from a different site and will really enjoy seeing them again. If anyone from this site is going, are you going to sign up for any of the contests in the form of banner contest, costume contest, speed painting, conversion contest, etc?, I am thinking about going for the first time. I was thinking of going mostly to play some games on open tables (if any) or doing that speed game setup I had seen mentioned. I was planning on hitting up the store while there, but the posts from Baltimore about the crazy lines has me thinking that's not a good way to spend my day. Any advice for a first-timer?

DevianID Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 While the lines for the store were kind of bad, it was the lines for forgeworld that were crazy. One nice thing about the store is that they have hard to find models, and they also usually sell old, out of print stock at a low price. For example, I saw blood thirsters being sold for $10, and sentinals for $8. Some people were made very happy with the discount stock. I have no idea if the same will happen at GD chicago, but if you are there its worth checking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 In all likelihood, I'll be there with my club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCrescents Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 What is the name of your club, Seahawk? I will be on the look out for you guys. IF you guys are NOT entering the banner contest, give some shouts out for mine.lol I am sure you guys will NOT be disappointed. Also, stop by and drop a line or two during the Armies on Parade thing they will be having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Scourge Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I live thirty minutes away...might have to check it out. Just wish the Exclusive mini was a 40k SM.(selfish I know :mellow:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Northern Illinois Miniature Gaming Club. Not bothering with banner stuff, but we'll hold a couple gaming tables. I'll also be in Armies on Parade with my Ultramarines fleet. After winning best painted at Adepticon last year, I felt like showing them off :devil:. Hopefully others like them.

ShadowCrescents Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 I might be able to meet up with you guys at one of your tables. If you guys are able to stop by during the armies on parade, please do so. I might even hold up a sign with your B&C screen name at the entrance. If I forget to make the sign to call out for you, just look for a very unique looking banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladigar Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'll be going to Chicago for my first GamesDay. Not entering any events, I just want to hang out and observe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCrescents Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Well stop by and visit a while at the armies on parade thing. What army do you play anyway, Vladigar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCrescents Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I am announcing that I will NOT be able to do the Armies on Parade thing at GD. I am still entering the banner contest though. Too bad I will not be able to do both of those events. The terrain that I have is just coming out like I want and I also have family and school obligations that place before all of that.

Schertenleib Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Is there open gaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladigar Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I currently play Sisters of Battle. I'll be interested to see how many WH armies there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Interestingly, not that I could find, Schertenleib. Usually they have a link for that, but it's not on the Chicago GD page this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonBased Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 A buddy of mine and I are making the drive from Detroit on Friday. This will be my second Gamesday. I'm trying to finish up the work on my Dawnbringers that I'd like to bring. This year I'm mainly concentrating on going to the paint clinics and terrain builds. I should be easy to spot. I'm 6'4, shaved head, and I walk with a cane. Give me a hollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlandMoonGuy Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I plan on being there – you can maybe even goad Orkdung & number6 into coming as well (along with some of the Southern Wisconsin regulars). @Seahawk, I was planning on holding some tables as well. It was certainly my pleasure to meet some of your crew at Adepticon earlier this year. Should we plan on getting some games going? That would include an open invite to any B&C’ers who can make it. That is unless you fear to take on the Infernal Warband of Sa’lili the Lie, which is perfectly understandable. :) Let me know your thoughts and maybe we should consider putting some plans together.

Seahawk Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 My club is hosting a couple club tables actually, not open gaming tables. Sorry for any confusion :blush: . My girly and I are thinking of bringing some small armies for open gaming if there is any, however, so yea, count me in. I'll be doing the Armies on Parade dealio from 1-2...I think.

Cheers, -OMG I'll be there as a spectator for the frist time in 8 years. I'll be dragging an army up in the off chance that there is open gaming. I just need to see how far the nearest public air feild is from the convention center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Eneok Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I have been to GD the last two years and in my experience I have noticed quite a few tables setup with terrain and no one playing on them, I am guessing that those are the open gaming tables. I usually go to enter the Golden Demon contsts (made first cut two years in a row!). I also enjoy the conversion contest, paint and take, and last year (I think it was) they had Forgeworld scale games of Aeronautica (sp?) which was a lot of fun to play too. I might go this year with my kids, but money is a little tight and it is a 3 hour drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JekCromium Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I believe this is a relatively new update(as I didn't see it on the Chicago GD page before): Open Gaming After reviewing your feedback we have expanded our Open Gaming area at this year's event. We have added 21 studio quality and 2 dozen standard tables for you to play on with your own armies. Maybe they learned a thing or two from Baltimore?

Warhorse47 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Just back from there and they did have some tables for open gaming. Wish I would have known where you guys were as Schertenlieb and i were both there too. Great event and hope to do it again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCrescents Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Well, I just got back from GamesDay:Chicago 2009 and had a blast doing the banner contest. This is my second time winning the event in a row. My banner was the Adeptus Mechanicus one. Seahawk, I did see you there but totally forgot that you were going to be there with your Ultramrines fleet for the AoP. If they have GD:C 2010, I will be there and IF they have AoP again, I WILL be in that without question. I was going to be in it this year, just could not get my terrain to do what I wanted to. Oh well, Keep in touch with me for those of you that attended or will be attending next year. I think you will like what I have in store for the next banner contest. Peace out.

Schertenleib Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 That was the banner with the binary code right? For those that were there I was dressed as an Empire Greatswordsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
