2,000 Point Team Tourney Saturday, February 23rd 2013

Gabi, at Olympic Cards and Comics, has opened her shop doors to another 40K Teams Tournament slated for Saturday February 23rd 2013!

Following is a copy/paste of Jancoran's WarSound forum post:

2K Blood Angels Vs IG and Ork Allies

Yesterday, Six and I played a 2000 point game pitting my Blood Angels against his IG and Ork 'Britezee Boyz' at Olympic Cards and Comics. The game was intense- probably one of our most intense yet, and A LOT of fun. I felt a bit discouraged by turn five about a couple of poor tactical decisions I made, but, it was a good learning experience.

I played a list utilizing my available models. I wanted to try mech in sixth edition to determine how much vehicles have changed. 

Dark Vengeance: Opening the Box

At 12:01 Saturday morning I got my copy of Dark Vengeance LTD Edition into my eager hands. I busted open the box and handled the sprues- man, the pictures don't do the models justice. The level of detail on each is really amazing.

2K Bat-Rep: IG Vs IG

Six and Kingpin faced off their respective IG armies in a 2K point game at Olympic Cards and Comics that I thought was worth sharing. Six took Ork allies, whereas, Kingpin relied on the Viking goodness- the Space Wolves. I really appreciated this bat-rep since I couldn't make game night as I had to work late to cover shift.

Thanks for the great bat-rep guys!

6th Edition Game: Blood Angels

Earlier this week I managed to get my second game of 6th edition in, meeting up with my bud Six-Deuce at Olympic Cards and Comics for some dice throw-down.

6th Edition T-Minus...

Today is a very exciting one! Last night I received a sweet surprise in the mail, pictured below:

Customer Loyalty

Customer Loyalty is a practice that I inherited from my mother and grandmother. When a merchant or business person provides exceptional service or goods, I reward them by purchasing goods or services from them exclusively.

Local Tournament Schedule: June- July

Gabi, owner of Olympic Cards and Comics is hosting two unique 40K tournaments that I want to share with my readers. There will be prize support- and who can't resist booty?

I can't!

September Slaughter Teams Tournament 2011

Yesterday, Six-Deucer and I threw our hat in and participated in the 2,000 point teams tournament MC'd by Dante of Warsound, and hosted by Gabi at Olympic Cards and Comics (OCC). We met up at OCC a little after 10:00, as dice were supposed to drop around 11:00 hours.

Conclusion: Thursday Throw Down! 10/22/10

When Six-Deucer and I arrived at Olympic Cards and Comics (OCC) for our 1500 point Thursday Throw-Down, we were treated to an unexpected surprise that Chappy had laboriously prepared for the both of us! Using the awesome tables and terrain available at OCC (thanks Gabby!), Chappy had created a table with lots of difficult and dangerous terrain. He had painstakingly populated the table terrain in such a way that neither side held any real advantage over the other.

Thursday Throwdown Conclusion:

Thursday, Six-Deuce and I met up at Olympic Cards and Comics (OCC) in order to cram as many 1200 point 40K games as we could manage in about 8 hours. Since he and I are still relatively green, games can slow to a crawl when there is a question with regards to rules. Six and I both agree that we would rather take our time in order to learn, and retain, the 5th edition rule set for 40K, rather than blowing through situations that would ultimately lead to rule mistakes.

Friendly Local Gaming Store (FLGS)

Do you have a FLGS that you like to support and frequent? Is it further from your residence than a less friendly or hospitable games shop? What is an FLGS? Well, let me explain!

 One of the first acronym I stumbled across while reading about table-top gaming was FLGS (FLAGS). I always read that acronym with a chuckle because there was a time that I wasn't sure what the "F" in FLGS represented, so I promptly associated it to my own, unique word...heh. Joking aside, I am very fortunate to have a gaming store close to home- and the owner and staff are actually friendly as well as a lot of fun. Olympic Cards and Comics (OCC) is owned and operated by "Gabby"- one of the coolest people I have had the opportunity to meet.
