Games: 40k but used to play WHFRP, VtM, WHFB, Epic (Adeptus Titanicus), Paranoia, Star Wars RPG, Shadow Run

Armies: Guard 1500pt always changing and building toward a 2000pt

Used to play a bit in the warhammer FB 2nd & 3rd edition days and rogue trader. Just started playing again in the last few months. Neck Face got me back into it.

Not a bad record so far with one win, two draws and no losses. this was mostly down to luck with Vaul and Neckface dominating the games I played with them and me winning on a technicality. looking forward to building a decent takes all comers force to play in tournies in the future. Played once on the sunday against Neckface in the corner against his raven wing. Will be coming back once my army is up to scratch. Might pop in to gawk at other players once in a while and get some tips if thats cool. Stoked to see such a lively gaming club in Auckland!

Hi All, 
I used to play 40k about 15 years ago, but then went off to uni and had to work n stuff.  I've often flicked through copies of White Dwarf to see how the game has changed and the new model ranges.  So i've decided to start playing again, after much deliberation i've decided to start with a Space Marine Army (mainly becuase they were pretty easy to play with and paint), so i'm in the process of putting together an army at the moment.  To make things even more difficult for myself, i've entered a tournament in the middle of September.  So i need to quickly get some figures painted and some games under my belt
So in a few weeks i will be asking for some beginner games (its going to take me a little while to get used to understand the new ruiles - geez life after 'overwatch' and no imperial robots)

Regards

Dan

[Vaul]

Hey jeff, pity you didn't make it to the SAWC today, even though it was a total fantasyfest.  I played four games at the club today.  Mike and pete were also playing a 5000 point empire vs dark elves epic, it looked like a lot of fun.

[hokunfei]

Oh sweet! That sounded like alot of fun and brutality. Next time I bump into you, could you teach me a bit of Warhammer fantasy...abit confused with the system (Rank system and all)

Thanks again.

[Vaul]

Of course I will, in fact you should think about a time and date and we can do a session on it.  I've got three armies up and running, all of them are ready to go and are legal at tournament size.  You should swing by and we'll do a demo game.

[Sectiplave]

Hey cool, quite a few new 40K players around, I'm not the only one

Should be dropping by the club before work this Sunday, hope to get a few minutes to window watch a few games going down.

I have a mate working in Palmy, his user name's gratnuk ironfist and you can guess what he plays (they're short. . .), so if you want more games give him a PM, his mates play too.

Space Marines the closest to being playable after buying 5 painted squads the other day with some additional bits in the post.

Armies: Chaos Thousand Sons (pure)

Hi, I've decided this year to get back into the hobby after 9 years away earning and learning a long way from home.

I need some regular opponents to school me in 5th ed 40k , as well as motivation to finish painting my existing army(prior to fielding them of course).

A little history: I first began with a Chaos Undivided Black Legion army headed by Abaddon in 2nd Ed, and then moved onto Dark Angels Space Marines when 3rd Ed was released. Both armies and all of my terrain/bitz ended up in my brother's possesion when I began my travels, and were either traded, sold, or stripped and repainted

I don't regret losing my armies though, as I can now start that pure Thousand Sons army I always wanted (but that the old range of miniatures could not provide). Slightly disappointed about losing all the daemons though.

I'll hopefully pop in to the club in the near future to christen my new box of SpaceHulk, and also to start fielding my Thousand Sons. I'll try and get some pics up in the 'Show Off' thread ASAP for some (s)khorne and ridicule

Armies:  I'm a newbie with Battle for Skull pass so haven't decided which way I will go yet.


Keen to learn as much as I can - need to learn how to play properly first!  Cant make it to a meeting this weekend but will be able come the following.

[Vaul]

As I mentioned to you this evening, let one of us know if you want to borrow an army and play a tournament standard sized game of 2250 points at the club on a sunday.

[Giant Dwarf]

Awesome thanks

Armies: planning on Orks

Just starting out as a wargamer through the very friendly staff out at GWS Sylvia Park. Just got my Assault on Black Reach set just before Christmas so I've just starting learning how to put it together. I've already decided I'd quite like to be Orks and bought an Orks codex with my vouchers on boxing day. So I've decided to hang around here and hopefully come to a few club afternoons to learn how to play as whilst I'm keen on the whole painting side I'm a little overawed by the rules etc. but really want to make the most of it as a whole hobby. Not sure how much time I'll have for it tho' recently became unemployed so I'll soon be studying almost fulltime and hopefully working as well. Still plenty of time.

Also into anime and comics, PSP, NDS games n stuff, Hokunfei you sound familiar from the anime side of things.

[Vaul]

Welcome to city guard, if you can make it along to the club in freeman's bay on a sunday afternoon it would be good to see you there.  If you don't have some models ready yet you could see about borrowing someone else's army for a game - don't worry about the rules too much as it is easy enough to get an opponent who has the rules well enough memorized from experience that you can get a nice streamlined practice game in.

Sounds like you should be playing Tau then!

Armies: Dark Angel Space Marines, World Eaters(WIP), Catachan IG(1st army, awful painting), High Elves (never played fantasy!)

Looking to get back into playing Warhammer 40,000. Work and School has meant I havn't played a game in the last 5+ years, but I never stopped collecting or painting minatures.

Collecting for so long with no army lists or tactical reason to buy certain units has meant I own something stupid like 10,000 points of Dark Angels,.I really need to stop buying space marines.

I've fallen out of touch with all my old war gaming friends or they've stopped playing etc. so I want to try get back in the loop.
I used to go to the South Auckland games held at Dury for about a year or so, but that was back in like 2001.
Not sure if they still do that?

I own the 5th ed rule book and have tried to get up to speed with the changes since 4th but there's only so much you can get out of a book.
I'd really love to come down and play a slow, friendly game to learn/re-learn the rules if that's possible!

welcome.  Just a heads up jeff, with a couple of tournaments coming up over the next couple of weekends, the club will not be well attended.  But it will be in full swing after that.

[Jeff]

So I've heard but should be ok I've got a game organised for this weekend which is a start

[EZR-Aeron]

hi guys,

my names Ryan and I've recently got into warhammer fantasy (DE). I've been meaning to go to freeman's bay on sundays but just haven't got around to it. does it cost anything to play a few games on sundays there? what are the details.

cheers guys

[Derick]

Good on you Aeron...

Club meetings are every Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 except this weekend and maybe 1 or 2 other sundays during the year.

The first 1 (2?) times are free but after that non-members pay $5 a day, Member pay $3.
Come along next sunday (28th) and speak to Karen, the honorary mum.

Most of the lads bring 2250pt lists, we don't usually take named characters.
We are getting ready for Equinox, so the lists are a bit harder, so bring the Hydra (or the goblin on the 50mm base as a proxy)

Be good to see you.
Derick
