Vancouver, BC, or nearby areas?
« on: January 29, 2005, 04:44:08 PM »
  Anyone here from Vancouver, BC, or somewhere nearby (Burnaby, Richmond, etc.)?  If so, whereabouts do you tend to play, and with what armies?

I live in Richmond and mostly play at GW in Richmond Center. I play Eldar and Tau, and just won the leader board last night. All forms of bragging rights, and a model of my choice painted by staff, as well as name on a gold plack . I am going to climb the ladder again. This time with my Tau.
Ulthwe Eldar  - W   D   L (12 game win streek)
                      26  0    1

Tau              -  9   1    3

Is the gamestore in Londsdale Quay still there? It was in the mall-like thing by the water-busses, and directly opposite this new-age-like store. I remember that store fondly. Great people there.

Whoa wild! I never knew Lonsdale Quay had a store.

Currently I live in Victoria, although admittedly, I got back into Warhammer after visiting the Richmond Center store about three months ago. I'm moving over to Vancouver within the next let's say six months and chances are I'll be there regularly.

Well, it was there in 94, but I have not been there since, so it might not be there anymore...

  I've been thinking about starting to play at Richmond.  Ever since I've started I've just been playing at a local hobby shop (MagicBox Hobbies) which is 5 blocks from my house.  I may go down to Richmond after I finish redoing my Eldar.  What are their policies like regarding points limits, game times, painted models, and things like that?

Wow what great directions Rasmus, I know exactly where you mean..... ::)

Neways I never knew you were a BC boy dark flame, i'm making a business trip to vancouver comming up in May. Where are you in realation to the Metrotown GW store? Think you can make a game there?

Or better yet, ever been to Tswassen paint games? I'll take you on in paintball as well...

BTW i play chaos and DE so take your pic (yes i mean WHFB not 40k)

This is seeming less and less like a business trip.....

  Ok fine.
  Do you know what/where Londsdale Quay is? If not, go no further, if yes, then go down another step.
  Do you know where the busses from Blueridge get to the quay? If not, go no further, if yes, then go down another step.
  Right there there is a mall-like thing. Do you know what I am talking about? If not, go no further, if yes, then go down another step.
  Go in, go upstairs, and towards the water (away from the street). Up there, in the right aisle, there is the store, opposite a new-age music-shp. Clear enough? :)
   Now bear in mind that I have not been there for more than a decade. Heh. ;)

  Let's see Loki.  By May I should have my Ulthwe army up to scratch, and Metrotown is only a 40 minute drive or so away for me, so we'll see how things go.  I would do Fantasy, but my Orcs and Goblins are in need of serious work.  On paintball, I'm not really that into it (Read as: have never been).

  Anyway, there's a Rogue Trader Tournament coming up in March.  Is anyone here planning on going to that?  I hope to be there with my Ulthwe.

RTT in march? I know of one at my local place in May.

Unless you mean the Trumpeters Salute (sp), I'm not sure if I'm going to go to that or not.

And I keep trying to get to Metrotown, seems like no one here has a painted army >:( so i want to go play some people that can actually play and have proper armies.

BTW. I live in Langley

  The Trumpeter's Salute holds a RTT every year.  That's what I'm refering to.  Where is this one happening in May, though?

Its here in Langley. 40k on May 7 and Fantasy on May 28 (I believe) Its on the Hall of Heroes website.
This time I'll remember how VP works. I would have had best general but my one draw should have been a win. :'(. putting me at 4-1-0. best record was 3-0-2. ARG!
If anyone does go, you'll recognize me rather easily as I'll be playing (believe it or not) Thousand Sons!! ;D

Landspeeder into a hummer? I did a post on that a few weeks ago. Lookit up i think it's under Imperial Guard. I wanted to do that too because I think the guard could use a hummer.
