I vaguely remember playing WFB when I was a kid, but I don't know what version it was since I was 10 (I'm 33 now). But, I have 8th edition rulebook and O&G army book... I never played 8th edition but I'm still waiting for someone that is willing to show me the ropes. :)

@Varlan Nice, I'll send you a message when I have a free weekend.

Thanks for the mention @Andrewgeddon! Sorry I'm not so active on the Ordo Fanaticus forum.
Welcome @Varlan! I live in Auburn, so I'm a bit south from you but Im new to both WFB (8th edition) and T9A. And looking for people to play. My schedule is pretty tight because of work, so a Saturday is the day I'm available if I'm not working OT, I can meet you at Heroic Knight Games if that's a good half way point.

To learn the game just grab the Warboss and two 30 man squads of Boyz. That's about 500 points.
Horde armies are great in this edition so bricks of Boyz and stormboyz can actually be the core of a good army.
That's a good idea, I wanted to start out something basic for when I learn the game and I think this will do very nicely. Thanks!
Afterwards is when I can start brain storming ideas of what units I want.

Currently this is what I have in my possession.
Boyz (Shootaz, Slugga & Choppa) - 80
Nobz - 20
Burna Boyz - 4
War Boss - 5
Deff Dread - 1
Ork Trukk - 1 (needs to be painted and assembled)
Deff Kopta - 5
I'm sure I'll put together a small army to learn the game and afterwards I'll plan out what I want to further build up my green tide.

Thank you @SigurdBC So far from reading the rulebook it does seem to be stream lined enough for an easy flow. I have a basic understanding on what goes on during each phase of the turn and watched a couple YouTube videos on some battle reports. My Orks are very excited to finally get their boots on the ground and run amok!

Fun!
Didn't we cover this already?
Ok. Well I never got a chance to play 40k, so I'm new. I'm trying to aim for next Saturday as I go to my local GW store to learn how to play, very excited for this.

I finally grabbed a copy of 8th edition after noticing I have a decent size of Orks through out the years. I never had the chance to play 40k, let a lone 8th edition.
What should I be expecting of 8th edition and is it fun?

Exactly @TheBeninator a good quote from English poet Thomas Gray "Ignorance is bliss, Tis folly to be wise."

Sweet, how many tables did they appear to have? Did you see the terrain selection?
I think it would be OK to solicit in the KOW FB group to see if any of them would be interested in T9A. My guess is that most of them are familiar with WHFB. If we had enough Portcouver and bham folks we could pair out to help teach the game. Perhaps too ambitious?
That I do not know. I emailed them once but no response, I'll give them a call once my armies are up to snuff. I don't have facebook (permanently deleted it), I believe @ClassicFlava is your go-to guy in all things KoW in Seattle.

KoW seems to have won out here in Seattle my efforts to string together some kind of community have all met with failure.
I would be glad to get some kind of event together I just need to find a store to host it lol
There is a Facebook group for KoW players in the Washington area that is active. I personally don't use Facebook as I prefer boards like Ordo. Most FLGS in my area are MTG heavy, even though I did check out Blind Dragon Hobbies (in Kent) per @TheBeninator suggestion and they do have all open wargaming (WFB, T9A, 40K, KoW, etc.) on Sundays.

@TheBeninator No, I really want to go once I have my army up whether its my KoW or WFB Orc Army. I haven't been painting much lately, I put together some KoW Orc Gore Riders the other day.

Yeah,
Blind Dragon Hobbies is probably near you @Grensche? Looks like a pretty good store, 4.5 / 5.
I think it would be fun to make a trip up to Seattle, and have the folks from B-ham come down. It is pretty cheap on a train for us from Portland. What to do once we arrive at King Station though would be more difficult. The bus system is pretty good, but it takes a long time for areas south of Seattle.
Where do all the cool gamers hang out in Seattle? There must be a bunch of untapped fantasy wargamers out there. Seattle metro is about 50% more populated than Portland Metro.
We could alternatively gather the troops and carpool up together from Portland/Couv, I just like trains :D.
I personally don't go to Seattle because it's a nightmare to drive through. I never been to Blind Dragon Hobbies, I know Heroic Knight Games in Issaquah looks like the ultimate place to play both 40K, WFB, and quite possibly T9A and KoW if anyone can confirm.
Game Matrix in Tacoma seems to be a good place to play any wargame and from what I remember Terracrux Games is bringing 40K to their store.
But anything between Seattle and Tacoma is practically a dead zone or MTG cash cows.

No sir, you just simply live up North.
Are you in the Seattle area?
Yes, more half way between Tacoma and Seattle.

Man, all of you guys live down south. :(

Favorite Maiden album!... or at the very least tied with "7th Son." Maiden sure know how to close out an album
Probably one of the best closer songs. The solo on that song alone was amazing!
I've been listening to this guy's work on video game songs. Very talented!

Alright, cool. Thank you @Andrewgeddon!

Would Black Orcs with paired weapons be best or sword and shield? I'm assembling some black orcs and I was curious..

I'm the same way, I only own, like, 5 records, but I'm always on the hunt for tapes! Sadly most of the 2nd hand shops stopped carrying them, and the music stores in Portland seem to charge "collectors prices" for them.
I have a lot of vinyl. I need to get another shelf because I have a pile building up. I have quite a few cd's and my tape collection is growing. That really sucks about the extra fee, maybe look on discogs or ebay? A lot of tapes I find on ebay are cheap, plus certain shops here in Seattle still sell tapes. Take a look at Kreationrecords.net (it's located here in Seattle) it also goes under by Zion's Gate as well, the guy that runs the shop is a cool dude.

ONLY ANALOG IS REAL!!!
Funny, I have the opposite problem as you: my car's CD / AUX work fine, but my record/cassette player took a crap on me a while ago, heh. Some choice tunes sir! Envious of the King Diamond cassette.
Messiah Candlemass is best Candlemass, although Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is great. Couldn't get into the Robert Lowe stuff, even though Solitude Aeturnus is good. Still haven't listened to anything after "Death Magic Doom," heh.
Very nice tapes!! Sodom and Pestilence caught my eye! I have the same Judas Priest 'Defenders of the Faith' tape. I'm still collecting tapes, they're cheap!
Yeah I like Robert Lowe but I was just not feelin' it during his time with Candlemass. They have a different singer now but I don't know if he's any good, I'll have to YouTube it and see for myself, ha!
Best edition of warhammer fantasy battle?
in Fantasy Battles (9th Age, WFB, etc.)

I live in Auburn, it's about 45 minutes south of Seattle. I would love to learn/play a game with you guys. We could meet at one of the gaming stores in Seattle, I'm currently trying to accrue sick leave so I can pick a day to call in sick and hope a gaming store will have people playing Warhammer in them at noon.
