I say if we can get some of us in Texas together at one of the gaming shops maybe around San Antoino or Houston area and see how many we can get together and we just have a day of gaming together and stuff? I say we get a common place for all of us to agree to. And a date that all of us are free on that we can agree to aswell.

I am free most weekends. I will be able to plan ahead 2 to 3 weeks. And I am ok with driving 2 to 3 hours for a day of gaming.


Ok for those just starting to read this we have a time and place set up.

When: August 27th @12pm
Where: Copperfield GW Store - Highway 6 and FM 529 (next to Zales jewelry).
Location: 6807 Highway 6 North, Houston
Phone: (281) 858-0085

We are working on a army list point size so we are all about the same when we get there.

Which one do you like the best between the three? I do like a place where the people that work there are friendly. Do they want you to pay any money to play there?

[Sgt. Tiberus Satio]

Both GW stores are run by buddies of mine and everyone there are friendly, besides they know I'll throw people out who aren't .

Battle bunker to my knowledge doesn't charge from the times I've been there. The only time I am aware all three have charged are for tournaments as usual with any gaming club or store.


I am usually at Copperfields GW store because it is a bit bigger than the other and most of my regular gamers go there. Kingwood usually gets a special request from buddies on that side of town.

[Gunrunr]

Sounds like you guys have got a good thing going. I would like to take part even if my army is not ready. It's been a long time since I have seen a game of 40K played out. And hell.....I'll pay for the pizza!!!! I am about 1.5 hours drive from that location so it's not very far. It takes about an hour for me to get to work every day anyway.

[Sgt. Tiberus Satio]

I don't mind travelling and meeting everyone in the middle, I just would like to schedule a weekend that I don't have my son otherwise my attention won't be on the game.

@Gunrunr - I am sure I can let you play with some models to proxy in, I think I am pushing about 6-7k in points if I remember correctly.

[Elric the Silvercoat]

I am ok with driving up to where you guys are it doesn't bored me any. I just have to make sure my wife doesn't work that day so I can go. I am her ride. So as of now it looks like Copperfield GW then?

[Gunrunr]

I'm free just about every weekend but some weekends I drive to Corpus to visit family. Just give me advanced notice as to when you guys want to meet and I can plan my trips to Corpus around our gaming. The weekend of the 6-7th of this month I have to renew my concealed handgun permit so that date wont work. The weekend of 19-20th, I may have a birthday party in Corpus to go to if they have it. I think its a good idea to post all our commitment dates up so we can see what we are working with.

@ Sgt. Tiberus....Thanks, my army is almost to 1k points

[Sgt. Tiberus Satio]

Im fine with that decision. I assume since about two weeks notice minimum would suffice, I say we aim for perhaps the EDIT:27th?

Edited by Sgt. Tiberus Satio, 03 August 2011 - 04:31 PM.

[Elric the Silvercoat]

You mean the 27th right because the 26th is a Friday

[Sgt. Tiberus Satio]

Correct, I edited it as soon as I seen what I posted. 27th is what I meant.

[Elric the Silvercoat]

So I say 27th at Copperfield GW at about 11:00am? We can give time to get some lunch first or we can go out for lunch together. I maybe able to get my wife to come to. She does want to play but had a bad game with a friend's Sallies army (she plays Eldar). He doesn't know how to have fun playing the game anymore, and that was my fault because we played the last game of a tournment for "fun" and he lost horribly and it cost him the tournment so he is all serious "For the Emperor!" person now. He really does have a battlecry he says when he charges and stuff it wierd.

[Gunrunr]

The 27th sounds good to me.

[Elric the Silvercoat]

Ok it looks like we have a plan. So 11:00am good for you guys I think the shop will be open then and it give me enough time to get there. I will bring my Space Marine/Space Wolves army and an Eldar one too so it isn't just Power Armour.

[Sgt. Tiberus Satio]

12 is when he opens, but we can grab food together before if y'all want. I am down for it. Perhaps we can do individual matches as well as finishing up with perhaps a team game?


So let the bell toll for the Servitors to note:

When: August 27th @12pm
Where: Copperfield GW Store - Highway 6 and FM 529 (next to Zales jewelry).
Location: 6807 Highway 6 North, Houston
Phone: (281) 858-0085


I look forward to shedding blood with you gents and perhaps taking some trophies in the process. Anyone who fires upon an Ultramarine is deemed heretic and be purged from my Imperium.

[Gunrunr]

Good deal.....I can't wait.

[Elric the Silvercoat]

Great

And to anyone else who reads this and wants to come we will welcome you there aswell.

[Sgt. Tiberus Satio]

Agreed, just give us a shout so we can keep a look out, I'd hate for someone to show up unannounced and we'd never get to meet you.

[Sgt. Tiberus Satio]

I think in the progression of time of despertely waiting for this battle to come forth, we should brainstorm ideas for games, i.e. certain missions? custom missions? objectives for primary, secondary, etc.


I think we should have a small bragging right wager going on top of the normal/APOC gaming. Perhaps any IC character that is either an upgrade (I.e. Telion, etc), HQ, or perhaps a Ven. dread would be worth 1 skull. Then at the end of the day we tally up to see who's taken the most, but it will also give us pleasure in saying we've taken a certain characters skull.

I will brainstorm some other ideas and post them.

A quick funny story of interest.

I was at a Reptile show here in Pasadena a month ago and I came across a booth that was selling light weight cage decorations that sure looked a lot like wargames terrain. I asked one of the guys working at the booth how he made them because the style looked a lot like some of the terrain I used to make for my wargames. He told me "No way...what game?". It turned out that him and his brother (that was also working the booth) both used to play 40k long ago and used their ideas for making terrain for making reptile cage decor. They had not played in a long long time and said they had a few armies at home but no one to play with. We had planed to start gaming together but have not yet because my army is not ready. They live in Spring, Texas which is not too far from where we are playing, so tonight I'm going to give them a call and ask them if they would like to join us.

Sounds like some friends I know.....

The more the merrier, I am going up there to hobby a bit so I will count the tables, I think we have 7 if I am not mistaken. I'll bring some light terrain that I have so in case we need any extras.

That would be cool see if they would bring some of the stuff so I can look at it.

@Tiberus I like that idea we need to hammer out so of the details alittle but maybe make some sort of thing where we can model some trophies onto the models that were in the fight. I have alot of chaos bits because I couldn't get a Tatical squad one time and I got upset and just bought the Chaos one so I have alot of bitz.

[Gunrunr]

I'm glad you mentioned your taking terrain. I would hate to think that we may end up running short so I'm going to bring a few myself also. One of these days you guys are going to have to see my large scale city fight war terrain set. I paid like $200 (maybe more) for it many years ago and it has never been used. I got it off some site that builds professional grade terrain for wargames. It's too big to take this time but I'll bring a building or two so you get the idea. My set even includes all the streets between the buildings ....it's sick. If I find my old pics of my city all set up in its full glory I'll post them.
