Warmachine League in full swing!

Thursday, April 8th, 2010


We’ve been playing all day, but by 7pm it was a packed house! Many games going on, many armies in mortal combat!
My personal opinion on the new league format is mixed. I feel there is too much things to keep track of, like special powers and choices. However, I do like the Battle Journal to keep track of the above, and I’ve always liked the interactive map, like the old Summer Rampage style, that lets players all over the world vie for territory together!
The first pic above is one of our customers who did an awsome paint job on Ayanna and Holt, one of the mercenary units.

Warmachine Tournament

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Full house for the tournament! I came close but couldn’t pull out a victory coin in the end. (Coins for the top 3 players). Next month is the start of the league! Look for upcoming info!

Full house of gaming!!

Sunday, March 21st, 2010


I love a full gaming area, and that is just what we had going today in the store. Call of Cthulhu RPG event, Warmachine games, Magic the Gathering games, Monsterpocalypse tournament, Blood bowl, and Dark Heresy RPG. Full of gaming goodness!!

Warmachine bag by Battle Foam

Sunday, March 21st, 2010


So, I just ordered a bunch of these bags. They are a little pricey compared to the other companies, but at the same time, they are the best quality bags. The Warmachine/Hordes bags come full of pre-cut foam that is supposed to fit the figures for said game. I was skeptical. Turns out, I like it!! See pics! First is all my Cygnar figs on the table. Second is them in the foam, third is the bag itself.
I still have a few big and medium size holes left to fill. The only figs I had problems with were the Thunderhead with his arm out to the side, one standard bearer and a few figs needed some leftover foam from other things to pad figs to keep them from bending a long lance and such. Overall, I’m impressed. The bag also had many nooks and pockets to store all your books and supplies. Very cool.

Blood Angels codex and Battlefoam cases!

Friday, March 19th, 2010

It’s here! It’s here! The store preview copy of the Warhammer 40k Blood Angels Codex!! Come in and check it out!!

We also just recieved the Warmachine and Hordes cases from Battlefoam! These are the best quality cases on the market for your miniatures! The pre-cut foam is specifically designed to hold your Warmachine and Hordes miniatures!!

Woo Hoo! I’m snakin’ a case for myself!

Saturday’s Magic tournament

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

We had our best turnout yet! Including a few new players, and for the future, there were a couple gamers who decided to get back into magic after seeing the nice turnout we had! Prizes included 6 people winning booster packs, everyone recieved a foil Worldwake card, and we raffled off a Worldwake poster and a Magic bag/backpack. I may have to start selling singles if more people ask!
In other happenings, there was a lot of Bloodbowl played for our league, we are in week 5 of 9. Warmachine hit the table. Monsterpocalypse was demoed! And a Dark Heresy RPG group played through the evening!

Lots of gaming goodness!

Ambush Alley and much more

Saturday, March 6th, 2010


We played Ambush Alley! Unfortunately my marines did not fare well. The insurgents had a good reinforcement roll early on, and then a couple bad rolls for me ended up in too many casualties to overcome!
In other gaming, we had several people drop by to play all kinds of games! Magic the Gathering, Warmachine, Castle Panic, Age of Empire III were all on the tables!
Pics above!

Warmachine Tournament

Sunday, February 21st, 2010


It was a long day of battle. The gaming area was full to overflow with 7 tables running. Winners were Chris Brown playing Protectorate of Menoth in first place. Kyle Dalton playing Khador in second place. And Brandon Murchison playing Khador. We had the last of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place steamroller trophies!!
Later in the evening, bloodbowl games sprung up for the league. I ended OT in a tie in my game, but caused a whopping 5 casualties!! Ouch.

Board Game Night

Friday, February 19th, 2010

We had a full house in the gaming area for Board Game Night! 17 players in 5 different games.
I’m in the Warmachine/Hordes tournament on Saturday, had my first and only practice game with the army list I made. Lost, but encouraging, I know what I did poorly.
Look for some special news having to do with Privateer Press and our store soon! More info later.
