Welcome to the saved forums.
I know we have had several new board members so wanted to bring this thread to the top so new people might see it. Please post here if you are new to town or any of the tabletop minis games and want to introduce yourself. Thanks, and welcome!
Hi,
New to the forum. Currently I play 40k exclusively, however I am considering picking up a bolt action starter British force. I currently live in south Austin and have played 40k a few times at dragons lair and just discovered mages sanctuary. Glad to have joined the forum and look forward to involving myself in the community.
I currently play tau and I am putting together a tyranid swarm themed army.
Welcome to CenTex!
You been to the Thursday night at DLair?
Yea. I I was there about two weeks ago I think.
Hi all,
My name is Russ and I am brand new to Warhammer 40K and mini wargaming in general. Currently building and painting the stormclaw box set and looking to learn the game from friendly players. I live in Austin (north campus area) and will do my best to be at DLair on Thursdays when I can.
Welcome Russ. It's always good to have new players join the crew. Come on by DL on Thursdays and say hi. You can almost always find a game and there are a lot of us who are more than happy to help you with your first few.
Hey, I'm Matt -- I live in Boston right now, and I'm moving to Austin in the next few months. I collect a lot of Mantic games in various states of grey plastic, and have various old Rogue Trader 40k armies in beige as well.
Would love to find a regular group to play Kings of War with.
Perfect timing, Matt! Looks like KoW is just starting to get some popularity around here.
Welcome to Austin!

I cant stay too late at night becuse i take the city Bus. but i am usualy free from late morning till up to 8-9pm also depends if its on a weekend too.
also i am still a new player to the game. still learning the rules. still have trouble but still do my best. :)
Welcome to the gaming scene darth. We play 40k on Thursday nights and there are others who take the city bus so come on out!
I've played several 40k Thursday evening pickup games at Dragon's Lair in the last couple months (including John and his wolf-star), so just thought I'd introduce myself on the forums. I'm trying to make it out to DL more often Thursdays and hopefully future tournaments at DL and Wonko's, schedule allowing.

Hi Michael. Hope to play with you sometime soon. What are you running?
Hi there. My name is Kingsley and I used to live in Austin but now live in West Texas. I'm moving back to Austin at the end of August and was wondering where people get together for game night. Does Thore's Hammer still host 40k on Thursday nights?
K-Thanks-Bye

Hello. I live in Temple/Belton. I own a very small tau collection, but am slowly growing it. I have a battlebox coming Tuesday.
Many of my models are currently proxies (dinos painted up are my kroot, fairies painted up are my vespid). My broadside is papercraft, and I am going to make two more of those.
I do not have any heavy tanks or airplanes, as I am at a loss as to how to proxy those (I have been loaned marine tanks to use in the past).
The biggest game I have played is 1000 points. It was a tie.
Obviously I have much to learn as I grow in the hobby. But I would like to play the game soon, this weekend (Sept. 25/26 2015) even. If anyone is down for such a game hit me up. I will drive to dragons lair if need be, or in Killeen battlefield games (or any other store with tables within an hour of me).
Hola, Josemaria! I'm pretty sure I can do a game this weekend if you want to go to Dragon's Lair. I'm on the south side of Austin. If you can make it Th, I'll be there as well. I am totally fine with you proxying anything you want, and if you want to do a couple smaller point games, I can even loan you models to use for whatever tanks/planes you want. I play chaos.
Well, work is now sending me away, so I won't be here this weekend. I hope to know by tmrw if I'll be at DL on Thursday. I hope you find a game! FYI I'm fine with playing with proxies all over the place. See you around
I appreciate it! I am a husband, father, and teacher first. So weeknights are tough.
Enjoy your work trip! I will be around! I am going to repost this on the pickup game forum, I just noticed that.
Vaya con Dios,
Josemaria
Estoy seguro que cuando yo regrese, podemos hacer un juego en un fin de semana. Tengas suerte buscando un juego este fin de semana!
Hi, I'm Nick W. I live in NW Austin, close to Wonkos and close enough to DL. I'm working on a Crimson Fists army. So far I have 2 tactical squads and a Pedro Kantor model I got used. They are pretty far away from the table top as they need to be stripped and painted. But they are a good place to start. I also enjoy making terrain, and have a few WIPs. I previously played back c1994-1998 and wish I still had my minis from back then. I'm pretty astounded by how detailed contemporary minis are vs what I knew in my youth -- all pewter and bulbous. Still I previously had a MEQ spam army of Chaos Marines and Berzerkers that I do miss.
I like other war games, D&D, and others, but haven't had much exposure, and 40k can be a pretty consuming hobby, especially when building a new army after so long away.
Welcome Nick! We play on Thursday nights at DL it's pretty easy to get a game.Quote:

Hello folks! I'm just about moved into Leander/Cedar Park area within the next couple weeks! I'm a 40k, Battletech, and D&D player looking for the local gaming scene (It seems I have found it). Putting me close to Wonko's and DL!
I currently have to drive 25/30 minutes to get to my current gaming location, so a commute doesn't bother me for gaming purposes. I have been down to Dragon's lair in my past visit and was blown away to see players actually rocking something other than Magic the Gathering. Fantastic.
I play Tau, Blood Angels, Imperial Guard, and Necrons for Warhammer 40k, and have been featured on Miniwargaming.com if that's your dish- I can provide links if you so desire.
Look forward to meeting some of you soon!
Welcome to Austin (area)!
Thursday is the big 40K night at DL, although there are pretty regular events on the weekend at stores in the area. And as you've probably seen, other games are popular as well.
What is the meta like in DL, is there a standard point build people adhere to? House rules? Any general stuff I ought to know of?

We have a tournament every month at DL the first Sunday of the month and one at Wonko's the Second Saturday. A group of us also carpools to other events in Texas.
I'll brush up on the ITC. 1850 is very doable, that's usually what they run up in MWG; Although I'd have to beef up some of my armies to be considered competitive in the least. I normally just play something silly. Like rough riders!
Hello everyone! Returning player to 40K (last played in 5th Ed., so might as well be new) and bringing my wife into the fold as well. =D
We live in the Cedar Park area, and will likely ve at some of the weekly game nights to meet and greet with other players. We're currently working on building up proper armies for casual and tournament play in the coming months. So if you see a couple really interested in 40K, without armies, that's us. Lol
She's working on a Slaanesh/Nurgle CD army, and I'll be rocking Tau. Any advice for competitive builds is always appreciated.
Great to meet everyone, and happy to know there's a strong wargaming community in the area. =D
Welcome Darquewing! We have open play tonight at Dragon's Lair and tonight is also paint night. A group of us sit around and paint in the side room near the office. we do this every other Thursday.
Sounds like fun! If we don't make it tonight, we definitely will the next time it rolls around!
Heyo, I'm Josh.
40k mostly...entirely. I'm in the same boat, I haven't played since 5th edition, looking to get back in. You may have seen me creeping around the past few Thursdays watching people play. I'm looking to throw some time into it sometime soon here, I have a 2500 points list up and ready to go atm so I can hopefully relearn how to play.
