Re: Welcome
Greetings,
I am an American living in Toyama (the other half of the InakaDakka blog mentioned previously). For the time, I only play 40K and I am quite new to it, but as my good friend has somehow convinced me to empty my wallet and fill my home with little plastic aliens, I would like to expand my potential base of people to enjoy this fine hobby with. As my handle may suggest, I play Tyranids.
Aside from 40K, I enjoy RPGs of various shapes and sizes (currently have a group going for Pathfinder), video games, and even at times things that have nothing to do with games. I look forward to participating in your community!

Welcome to the boards Carnalfex. Feel free to jump in to any of the ongoing conversations or even start one of your own. We are a friendly bunch, though we all tend to have pretty strong opinions. If you ask a question you'll get a dozen different and conflicting answers.carnalfex wrote:Greetings,

Several of our members (myself included) play Nids, so if you want any thoughts on lists or advice on how to beat those pesky terminators you need only ask.

Re: Welcome
Hi Scott,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm sure there will be someone around here who fancies a trip up to Yokosuka. I've never been there myself actually. Am I right in thinking that it is near Tokyo? (Geography is not my strong point).
If you want some fresh opponents, you are more than welcome to come to Nagoya anytime you like. We're throwing an event in Golden Week if you or any of your group feel like making the trip.
In the meantime, feel free to hop onto any of the ongoing threads, or open some new ones if you have something you want to chat about.
Regards,
P.

You can bring an unpainted army, but to encourage players to at least dab a couple of colours on, painted models gain preferred enemy against models which haven't been painted or have been sprayed with just one colour.

Re: Welcome
Howdy, Scott - welcome to the forums
Yeah - as Prim says, itd be cool if you could make it down here for Naghammer. It's a doubles tourney this year, and I think Prim is trying to make it just a twitch less competitive than before by introducing some slightly wierdy scenarios. It varies year to year. You'll find a variety of gaming attitudes in the Nagoya group. Some are pretty competitive, others can play hard if you ask em to but generally play for fun, and some just like to play fluffy armies that get gubbed every time, but do so in style. If you're looking for a competitive game you should pop along to the monthly Nagoyahammer thread and ask around for an opponent, just so you dont come down loaded for bear and find a field full of bunny rabbits. (I couldnt say if there's a thread made for March yet - I never go, so its kinda off my radar)
Anyway, good to have you on board
ps - it's totally wierd to look at your facebook page and see my avatar on there.
*edit* yeah, as Prim says, the important thing is to look like youve made at least a bit of an effort with your painting. bare metal, or blobby blobs of nasty is frowned upon. A simple base coating is fine and dandy. Full on OSL with SENMM, wet blending and LEDs in the eye sockets will get you a whole lot of awe (but no extra points )

Re: Welcome
Hi everyone!
I'm Koala, and I'm originally from America, but now I'm settled in Okayama.
I play 40K (grey knights), a very little FB, and Necromunda, but my very favorite games are Blood Bowl and Warmachine (PoM).
I'm looking forward to having chances to play more here in Japan!
