Hello there,

I just purchased (8) more Realm of Battle board tiles for a steal-of-a-deal $ 155.  This now means that I have (18) Realm of Battle board tiles.

Thus, we can have (3) fully legit game tables in the pole barn... or we can connect them together for a gi-hugic table for an apocalypse game this summer.

I'm gonna paint 'em up and flock 'em but just wanted to share that hopefully I can host a nice game this summer.

Stay safe and hope everyone is well,

Hello there,

Not uncommon.  Easiest way I've found for folks I've trained is to not focus too greatly.  Sounds weird, but like we said in class... relax.  Just understand that you won't be able to focus on multiple planes/depths at once so just kinda work through it.

The dominance is wonky because you're getting used to not focusing as hard, if that makes sense.  Keep training it a bunch and it'll seem natural in no time.

Stay safe,

Hello there,

Some of you more "in the know" folks can probably comment better.

The new "Astra Militarum" codex is coming out and unless I'm looking at the wrong images, another "Codex:  Militarum Tempestus" is launching on 03-29-2014 with all the stormtrooper-ish models (called "scions") and the tracked transport ("taurox").

Wonder if it'll be a wholly separate allied army like the Imperial Knights or what.  Hmmm.

Stay safe,

Hello there,

I get all the 40k codices because (a) I'm a "completionist," which is the bane of my comic collecting existence and (b) the fluff is really good and interesting for me.

But then again, I have all the Horus Heresy paperback books too and thoroughly enjoy those stories... and have been told by others that they're not "accurate" or "holding to canon" or whatnot.  I guess ignorance is bliss because I really enjoy them.

If anyone in the local gaming scene ever wants to borrow a codex or whatnot, just lemme know.  Not like I get them for the rules for a game I'm not playing as of yet.  ha ha ha

Stay safe,

Don't let my kid know those exist... he wants any excuse to make water effects.

Looks great!

Hello there,

We were training with Glock 17T models.  Methinks 17T is the actual code for the weapon system.

Hello there,

I recently purchased the Sentinels of Terra codex.  Tossing out some information in case folks are interested.  The following information is a bare bones, "here's what you get for your hard-earned dollars."

Please note that there are no play-test comments, as I unfortunately do not get to play 40k at the moment due to work scheduling and life.  And it does bear noting that this entire book is about the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fists.

Pages 4 to 35:  fluff on the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fists

Pages 36 to 47:  pictures of Games Workshop's Imperial Fists models

Pages 49 and 50:  specific rules and wargear for the 3rd Company

Pages 51 to 71:  different missions.  Apocalypse (1), Cities of Death stratagems (7), Planetstrike stratagems (10), Altar of War missions (3), Echoes of War missions (6)

Hello there,

Thank you for the kind offer, but I actually kept the last two codices' slipcovers that I purchased:  Crimson Slaughter and Sentinels of Terra.

Appreciate the kind words, thank you very much.

Stay safe,

I hate it when I come up with a seemingly decent idea AFTER the fact... lol.

And I don't know why I dislike slipcovers... I remove them from literally all my books when I get them.  I'm sure there's something neurotic going on there.

Hello there,

I posted a similar post in the "Rogue Trading" section but also thought I'd ask the local gamers.

I've purchased every new 40k codex that has released thus far.  Sadly, their slipcovers have been getting recycled... and now of course I was thinking that if I had kept them I could make a cool display collage or whatnot for my gaming room.

Ack!

So, if anyone has any of the slipcovers from any of the new 40k codices and you don't want them, I'll happily buy / trade / menial tasks for them.

Please let me know and thanks in advance for your consideration!

Stay safe,

don

Hello there,

Thanks for the kind words, folks and I'm really glad that you all liked the class.

Be happy to do a follow-up class or a "phase 2" or whatever the group needs.

Here for the team if anyone needs anything, especially when it comes to educating / safety / tactics / etc.

Stay safe,

Hello there,

Long shot at best, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, eh?

If anyone has any of the new 40k codex slipcovers, please contact me.  I'll happily buy them from you.  Sadly, all the codices that I've purchased thus far have had their slipcovers tossed in the recycling... ack!

Thinking of maybe putting them up as decorations.

Please let me know if you want a few bucks or some 40k trade or whatnot.

Thanks and stay safe,

don

Hello there,

My apologies, as I'm sure one or more of you have already answered this.

Since I've been moved to night shift I'm actually getting some painting done and would like to post pics to get some feedback from the local gaming group. 

1.  I have an old, crappy digital camera... the photos don't need to be super up close, do they?

2.  I can just attach files like a normal computer thingiemabobber, right?  Or I thought someone said to use some other program or something. 

Obviously, a lot of my computer issues are "PICNIC" errors.  That's "Problem In Chair, Not In Computer" for those in the know.

Any help is appreciated.

Stay safe,

Hello there,

My mom's in Israel as we speak now, too!  Small world!

She went with her church group... if you see a 70 year old Korean lady, say hello.  Dunno if there's a lot of them in Israel at the moment!

Stay safe and have a great time!

Hello there,

I'm just curious... "normally" do folks just get a ruleset and their army's codex and expect their opponent to do the same?  Seems like it'd cut those costs dramatically.

Now, for folks like myself who get it all... yeah, that's a lot of cash for some books.  But (a) I like the fluff; (b) my kid likes different armies and © I can happily help folks that don't have the various codices or whatnot by loaning them mine.  I also like getting the various inspirations on paint jobs, scenery, basing ideas, etc. that the codices have.

And, coming from someone who left after 3rd edition... wasn't a long-standing complaint by the gamer base that codices and such weren't release quickly enough?  Now it seems like since releases are quicker and such folks don't like that either.  I'd be psyched that more stuff is coming out... I don't have to get it all but it'd give me hope that for example a tyranids codex that wasn't updated for a long time got released. 

Hope that makes sense.

Stay safe,

Hello there,

Depending on the size of the group and everyone's understanding of the information provided, I don't see why we couldn't get through it in two or three hours.

But then again, if folks are "hey, this is easy to understand!" then it could be quicker.

Stay safe,

Hello there sir,

At approximately 1230 hours I dropped off the sammich baggie o' bases at Dark Tower Games.

They're behind the counter.  Hope they work.

Stay safe,

don

Hello there,

Please note that I did *NOT* have a chance to drop them off yesterday, as I got called in for overtime.  My apologies.

I have them in my vehicle and will drop them off as soon as possible... I know for a fact that I need to go into Bellingham on Wednesday the 19th so it will happen at the latest then.  Again, my apologies.

Stay safe,

don

Hello there,

I put (10) small square bases with diagonal slots in a sammich bag with a post it note marked "MUNKIE" in it.

I will put this sammich bag at Dark Tower Games today when I come into town.  Probably sometime after 6pm.

The bases have "Reaper" marked on the bottom so I don't think they're authentic Games Workshop slotta bases... my apologies.  If they work, awesome.  If they don't, please feel free to lemme know and I'll pick them back up or you can give them to a needy person.

Stay safe,

don

*  Tau

*  Eldar

*  Tyranids

*  Orks (very limited selection)
*  Chaos

*  Necrons (very limited selection)

Hello there,

Ah, thank you very much.

If for some reason that sale falls through please don't hesitate to contact me, as I'd happily make the purchase.

Thanks and stay safe,

Hello there,

I like Litko's stuff myself... http://www.litko.net/categories/Movement-Trays/

Hello there,

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what SPF means by the previous poster... but if you still have this and are looking to sell it still, please let me know.

Hello there,

The details have been confirmed:

NOON on Saturday, March 22nd at the Bellingham Police Department's training room.

Plenty of parking on the back side of the police department (505 Grand Avenue), which will be C Street.  There is a man gate and I'll have it propped open.  Go through the gate and take a hard right... you'll see the double glass doors of the training building.

I will do my best to leave a trail of crumbs to help.

Stay safe,

don

Hello there,

Basically two "big" ranges:  Plantation Rifle Range (down on Samish) and Custer Gun Club (off of Birch Bay Lynden Road up north).

And a ton of gravel pits.

Stay safe,
