  1. Yes, Guardian Games carries the full line of GW and Army Painter paints, along with some Wizkids and Turbo Dork. I usually buy paint there, as the store is only a few blocks from the Ordo clubhouse. Sometimes though, they have run out of a specific color (Black, certain washes) and it might take up to two months for them to restock it.
  2. THE PLACE Location: 717 SE Main St. Portland OR 97214 (map) - Around the corner from Kokiyo Teriyaki and up the stairs. I will be holding an OFCC Prep Session at the WOW clubhouse this Saturday, May 27 from 10am - 2pm. I will be working on terrain in preparation for OFCC and I invite others to come and join me! If you are currently working on a hobby project (painting/modeling, etc.), this will be a great opportunity to work/ hang out with myself and others. If you've never been to the clubhouse before, this would be the time to stop by and check it out. The clubhouse will also be available for open gaming as well. All attendance fees are waived for this session, so there's no excuse to come by and be part of the fun! Please post in this thread if you plan on attending.

  11. Weav is attending this Thursday's GN (4/6), so unless Burk is planning on opening and closing, I don't think anyone will be there.

  13. Looks like I'll be able to make it tonight. I'll be there around 4 and I'll bring my Kill Team stuff, in case there's an opportunity for a pickup game. Otherwise, I'll just hang out with the Thursday GN crew.
  14. Looks like most people are taking a break after playing in Rosehammer, Rip City Riot, and March to War during the last few weekends. I'll be at WOW for a couple hours in the morning, just in case anyone stops by.
  15. Ordo Fanaticus, the Pacific Northwest's premier gaming club, in association with the Portland/Vancouver 9th Age community is pleased to bring you the Columbia Clash, a two day T9A tournament during 2023 OFCC weekend (August 5th and 6th). Here are the event details (this post will be amended as more information becomes available). Event Organizer: TheBeninator (Ben Beal) Number of Players (min/max): 12-30 Event Style: Singles - Swiss pairings # of Rounds: 5 (3 Sat/ 2 Sun) Duration of Rounds: 3 hours Ticket Price: $50 ($5 discount for OF Reavers, Warlords, Emperors, and Imperators) Missions and Scenarios: Scenarios will be familiar to all players of T9A, but there will be small twists. Players will be challenged to think differently about how they play scenarios with new special rules at play. Accordingly, at least 2 scenarios will be focused on alterations to the deployment phase (blind deployment shall return!). At least 2 scenarios will have their secondary objectives altered in a way where either the objectives move, or the conditions to capture them are changed. The last game will just be a good old standard fight. Point Value: 4500 (standard size) Scoring: 4 different awards - Best Sport (based on rankings and integrity points - see below) Favorite Army (based on painting, theme, conversions, fluff) Best General (based completely on match results) Best Team (Averaged scores by team for the 3 above plus extra points for team showmanship - see below) Achievements and Awards: Tertiary objectives will be making a return, but with slightly different mechanics. Integrity points- Every player will have the opportunity to award an opponent for an in-game action that is viewed as being highly respectable. Perhaps reminding a player of an essential rule, allowing a player to “take back” a move, etc. The idea is that if a player does something that makes the game more enjoyable for you, then you have a chance to give them a special shout out for that. You get 2 integrity tokens to give out which are worth less than your favorite opponent but go towards best sportsmanship. This helps to build a better ranking spread. Extra event style: Optional two person teams – Two players can form a "team" in order to be contenders for the “Best team” award. The idea here is to encourage players to engage in a bit of extra style and panache during the event. This will hopefully bring some of the flavor of “club” showmanship back to OFCC, continuing the tradition of previous events. Team Bonus: Bring a banner with your team’s colors/logo/whatever – 5pt Bring a war cry that can be heard when shout, minimum of 3 shouts! – 5pt Bring a sonnet (14 lines with a rhyming scheme) explaining the basis of your faction’s alliance – 5pt Purchase tickets here!
