Games Workshop Tau Releases

April 04, 2013   cathleen.feduke

The new Tau codex is releasing this Saturday! I’ll get 20 books in (only 5 were preordered). I will get 3 each: XV8 Battlesuit Commander, Commander Farsight, Darkstrider, and Longstrike. I will get 2 Pathfinder Teams. Unfortunately I will get no XV8 Crisis teams, Hammerhead Gunships, Sunshark Bombers, XV104s, or XV88s. These are extremely limited with even their GW stores getting one of each. We will get more models as soon as they do another run.

New 40K Activity

March 29, 2013   cathleen.feduke

Here is the link to the Facebook group.

Dan Crook has volunteered to set up all kinds of 40K goodness at the store.

To start with, he set up a 40K Facebook page.

Then he set up a league. The first meeting was Thursday, the 28th. The price will be a $25 buy in for the whole league. That day will be a practice 500 point game.The following Sunday Dan will put together a pairing for the next week. The next two weeks will be 500 point games. Then the next two weeks will be 750 point games. then to 1000. May the 16th will be the last day at 1500 points. After this game the prize for first place will be handed out, and maybe even some ribbons or something cool like that.

Dan will be here for the practice game and the final game.

I am also thinking that some Game Vault 40k league T shirts might be cool. If they pay an extra $5-10 they can get a shirt as well.

More information may follow here.

Our incentive last month worked and 40K players are showing! Let’s keep it up by making this a regular thing. Again for March we will reward you for playing 40K on Thursday nights. Play in 3 out of the 4 Thursdays this month between 5pm and midnight and get 30% off one box set of your choice. (Doesn’t even have to be 40K.) Please come to the counter to tell us you’re here to get credit for showing up. You must be here for at least two hours each Thursday to get credit for that night. Please note that showing up with a 40K book and not playing is the same as not showing up. In fact it’s worse, you’re taunting people who want a game. If you want credit for being there you have to be willing to play.
