You can chalk another one up for those dirty knights today! the battle ‘twas fought outside of Le Bastille De Bastarde. Goblin Doom Diver did massive damage to Bens knights all game and lots of fanatic shenanigans occurred to decimate everyone. Took 7 turns for me to rout him fully so major victory to Ben! Cheers for the game buddy.

I can make sure we’re open at 2

40K Escalation League - 2020 Winter Warzone “The road to OFCC” Welcome everyone! You’ve waited patiently, and here’s the first go at laying down the rules. What: 40k escalation league When: 8 weeks of slaughter! Starting Tuesday March 3rd 2020 and ending Tuesday April 21st 2020. Where: Ordo/WoW, Tuesday's (around 5pm+) and Sunday's (around 3pm+) on normal game nights Geeks and Games, (game night to be determined or in store) Fate & Fury games, (game night to be determined or in store) More stores may participate, keep an eye out. Even home games are allowed (against league players). Perks: There will be a 1750 point ITC style tournament Saturday April 25th 2020 after the league ends hosted at the Ordo clubhouse. Anyone who purchased 2020 Ordo champ dues (Reaver or higher) and played at least 5 weeks/games in the 40k league for credit will get FREE entry to that tournament. More info to come. Who: YOU!!! Why: Because you need to prepare an army, refresh on 40k rules, or just love 40k so much you want to play more often! Also, this would be great preparation if you’re thinking about OFCC in July! Cost: League itself is FREE for everyone. With the exception of game night dues (playing at WoW) or if the store you play at has a fee. Highly recommend renewing your champion status on the Ordo store for 2020. Warlord more than pays for itself for just the 8 league nights alone when playing at WoW. Needed: Bring a copy of your lists each week, gaming equipment (dice, cards, etc), and a good sportsmanlike gaming demeanor. Army Composition: Battleforged lists using matched play, with the goal of escalating a real army for future use (OFCC, tournaments, and other future events). Max detachments: 500 points: 1 detachment 750 to 1250: 2 detachments 1500 to 1750: 3 detachments Armies can include any number of 40k approved Games Workshop, Chapter Approved, or Forgeworld sources Each week will be an increased point value. Week 1 (March 3rd): 500 (doubles recommended) Week 2 (March 10th): 750 (doubles recommended) Week 3 (March 17th): 1000 (doubles optional) Week 4 (March 24th): 1000 (doubles optional) Week 5 (March 31st): 1250 Week 6 (April 7th): 1500 Week 7 (April 14th): 1500 Week 8 (April 21st): 1750 (same point level as tournament on April 25th) You need to have fun with this. Experiment with combinations you’ve never tried, you are not locked into a list or army during this league! This is not a win at all costs league, make sure your opponents enjoy the game too. CLARIFICATIONS: If you use a detachment, you get all the benefits of a detachment including CP's. Some weeks have limits on how many of detachments you can take. Event Specific Rules: Your army is your army. You have your own Warlord. Nominate a CHARACTER. Required keyword. If playing doubles: Your psychic powers can only buff your army. They are allowed to debuff your teammate’s army. For the purposes of the Fight Phase, teammates are considered as one and will need to pick a single unit to Fight first. 6x4 tables with FAQ Tactical Reserves rules in effect. Smaller tables will be used for the lower point levels. League points will be earned in 3 ways: Win/Loss/Draw Newly painted models/units Sportsmanship Painting and Basing Requirements: All models must be WYSIWYG assembled (no proxies). Painted is optional. If counting models toward painting points: Must be minimum 3 colors Effort must be made to transform or replace the bare plastic base Points will be awarded to single models newly (1 point each, max 3) painted OR bonus points if an entire squad is newly painted/finished (5 points).

Zoats were gone?

Captain Seitz and his crew will be there Sunday! The Tyranids are siegeing a last stand of marines and Tau... would love to show up early? 2

Interesting. I read articles for years before I came back to the hobby last year. Didn't have youtube back then and I feel like in the six months since I started watching these videos, I understand painting a TON better. I just couldn't get from print what they were trying to convey.

Big model train show happening at the Portland Expo Center this weekend. I’ve always found model railroading a good source of tools, techniques, and gadgetry for wargaming terrain and model making. A mere $9.00 gets you in the door... Might be a fun way to kill a cold, rainy weekend. http://trainshow.com/portland/

Rod Stewart believes it’s cooler to be on the cover of Model Railroader magazine than Rolling Stone.

That's tempting. If for some reason I wasn't able to do the whole tabletop wargaming thing, I'd be deep in model train nerdery.
