Where is everyone playing?

Is there a particular location that everyone is playing??

SCit Fi city....and a few of us have our own boards....tis is actually going to be pretty new for alot of us....we are starting at 500 and building as we go.

good!!! Im just starting too and I have about 500 or so points Im trying to paint and play. is there a normal day of play for Fantasy there?

I don't think there is a normal day or rotation established as of yet. I would try to set up something in the make a date section here and meet at the store. I think there are about 6 of us or so who have some semblance of a fantasy force that could play at 500pts.

Ive been building ,trading,sold my dog,and kids ,to get Warhammer Fantasy Dwarfs Army together,and Ive also been painting like a MadMan in a Basment Labratory.I have been wanting to learn and play this game for about a year and finally took the plunge,and got the biggest junk out of the way(Infantry).I still need some heavy guns,like Bigger cannons,and bolt throwers,,but for the most part I can play with what I have and be competitive.We definitly need to start to focus on a certain time frame,of game play,and maybe we could ,for some of us,up the anty a little and possible goto 1000/or 1500,for the guys that have the larger armys ,like myself,and Im sure others have similar sizes,if not bigger armys to play.The siuation is time frame.We need to keep in mind on weeknights,which is when most peeps play,that the Mall closes at 9:00pm,on the nose.So people playing the weeknights need to be ready,Army list,points,scnerios,all plotted before event happens,so we can hit the ground running,if you will.For guys like myself,that are experienced in Tabletop,but not this game in particular,they will take a while longer of couse,so maybe teaming guys together with experience,and rookies is somthing to think about.I would rather learn the system fast by a regular player versies,trying to muddle my way thru the game.Just my 2 cents,.Im really looking forward to the winter gaming days ahead.

thats why the 500 pt cap.....we can get many games in during this time frame. You also need to schedule the fact of guys like me, I'm a manager for a retail store.

Is there a certain time frame that would interest you in Playing Fantasy?Maybe weekends would suit some,and weeknight would suit others.
3 to 4 hours should be plenty of time once people start to get more regular at the game.Having all points, scnerios ,and list built before arrival will speed anygame considerble.
I just want to play some Fantasy,weather it be 500,or 2000 points,im in.

Im in the same boat as CJ as I am a retail manager and this is my busy time of the year. Weeknights are prolly the best.

All the games I have played(ok the only one) used 1000 point a side and we got though 1 turn(while me learning how to play) in less than 45 minutes so it doesnt take that long(if we didnt get ditracted would have been done in less than 30 but oh well) still Ill find out how well 500 points works this week I think

what night will you be playing again? We are trying to learn too and may benefit from attending/playing too.

sorry its a club at my school. Yoy have to go to my school to be able to jion the club.

Kaaden...who do you work for?

Im willing to play this week.Warhammer Fantasy.Kadden I can get us through the basics.Playing the Skull pass,really will help,I amagine,But I think I can get a little more tecnical than this.Whichever night is good for me,I ussally play AT-43 on Thursdays,but I can take a night off to learn W.H.F.

I'd like to play at-43 on Thursday too. So whenever Sig. and CJ I am a store manager for Hot Topic. Who do u work for

I'm a manager for CVS Pharmacey....got it worse then you....LOL

You guys ever get the Transformer Ball Caps in???

I'm interested in AT-43 too.....not a huge intrest yet of course....but when WoH was closing down....I was looking to scoop up some of the stuff. Howz the game mechanics?

amazing mechanics if you ask me. Sigma Golem has been my teacher and playing buddy so far. We are both constructing armies outside of what we have now (Therians). He is doing Red Blok and I am doing Karmens. I can ask him if we can make our Thurs game at Sci- Fi City so it can be a demo of sorts and ou can check it out. The sky seems to be the limit for this game from what I have seen with missions and campaigns. Yea and no Transformer hats just beanies with autobot and decepticon logos. Let us know if you wanna check it out Thursday

Have you guys considered trying out an Escalation League? Those are specifically build for people to either buy into a new army or start playing WFB all together. Not to mention they are fun because there are just different dynamics building a smaller force.

Where do you find info on Escalation?Sounds cool to me,pre-built and ready to go.

Like using Mighty Empires or what Bob

Is Mighty Empire the current hex based map campain? If so I believe there is a way to marry the two.

Escalation leagues were listed in White Dwarf over a year ago, maybe two years at this point. We played some at World of Hobbies and Games before the crew there started college and summer stuff one year.

What their goal was to adjust some of the rules to allow for smaller points and units. For instance the unit minimums become half rounded up of the old value, only one artillery, limits on magical items so that people don't just work on a munkin character. Limit on how many points can be spent on characters so people have to field some peons to back them up.

I will endeavor to dig up the rules. They are somewhere around here.

PS

And the big idea was to start low like 200AP and on a weekly or bi-weekly basis increase the values. One option actually had the increase based on win/loss. It is good way to learn the rules (or refresh in my case) and more so to get a personal feel for an army and how it might play or react against other figures.

Min units are rounded up,from older version,does this mean the new AB do not count,or they do.

I believe there are official rules akin to the 40k combat patrol rules somewhere.

I will have a look for them when I have more time.

That sounds cool,but would the table size also have to be smaller for a 200 point game verse a 500 point game?

Ive probly got 2000 Points,but would really like to start at 500 A.P.

Bob,you ever play the Skull Pass,or is this just a good buy in box.
