There are a number of threads on the forums announcing the Game Preserve’s new Warhammer, Warhammer 40K and Warmachine/Hordes tournament series:

Our first annual Game Preserve Civil War will be taking place this June at our Greenwood store! This unique event pits players from teams representing the North and the Southside stores against each other in three separate events covering Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40K, and Warmachine/Hordes. As this is an unusual event and the first we’ve run of its kind, let me break down the rules for you…

Three separate tournaments will take place: Warhammer Fantasy (June 25th), Warmachine/Hordes (June 18th), and Warhammer 40k (June 11th).

Players will have to sign up at the store they wish to represent beforehand. Example: If Joe Smith signs up at our Greenwood store (southside) he will represent the South when he comes to play.

Players will only ever be matched up against players from the opposing store (Northside players will only ever play against Southside players).

After each event the top six players will earn points for their side. Once all three events have been concluded then the scores will be totaled up to determine which store won the overall event.

Players can participate in as many or as few of the events as they would like. Joe Smith can play in just Warhammer Fantasy’s event or, if he is particularly hardcore, all three events.

Army size for the events are as follows: Warmachine/Hordes: 35 points. Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K: 2000 points.

Each event will consist of three 120 minute rounds.

Be at the store at 10:00 AM, play will begin shortly after.

There is a $10 fee due at sign up per event.

Each store will only have room for eight players per team per event.

In addition to a trophy that will reside at the victorious store until next year, there will be over $150 in prizes given away at each event, including gift cards, custom dice and t-shirts. The clock is ticking so be sure to sign up soon!

http://www.facebook.com/hometowncomicsgreenfield

These guys have an amazing range of comic books. All kind of other games, toys and collectibles. They have a good 40k crowd and probably the best maulifaux scene I have heard about. They are ready and able to be quick about getting special orders. The game room can fit a max of 6-7 tables, and they have a nice selection of terrain.

Hometown comics wants us to give an Island of Blood to the members of Circle City Gamers.

All you have to do is sign up on the Circle City Gamers Forums, and start a new thread introducing yourself. The post should be in the warhammer fantasy section, and should be an explanation of your hobby. What armies you play, events you will attend, where you play and when you play.

There will also be a Hometown comics Island of Blood contest thread, post on that too. This will give us the complete list of participants. We will pick our favorite posts and draw a random winner from that list. The contest will end, on January 14th. The Island of Blood box can be picked up at any Circle City Circuit event.

Circle City Gamers is going to be home of the Circle City Circuit. This will be the place for information about events and contests. So sign up today, and start posting some content.

Any questions please ask in the forums.

There is a Warhammer 40,000 doubles tournament being held at Games To Die For on September 26th. Check out all the details on the Hive Fleet Indy Blog.

Starting in August for players that wish to participate we are going to be offering a player ranking system using the ELO format commonly used to rank international chess players. The system will initially cover Warmachine and Hordes and will then branch our into other games as well.

For specific reasons, I had removed this announcement, but now I’ve decided to put it back up.

One of our members, Wienas, is running a 40K tournament on the south side of Indy. Get all the details here:

Indy 40K Blog – South Indy Warhammer 40K Tournament

Last Thursday I got in another game of Warhammer 40,000 using my Tyranids. There’s a couple that come to Gamerz just about every Thursday to play Warhammer 40K. I believe their names are Nick and Amanda, but I’m not 100% sure (I apologize if either of you are reading this!). They mentioned to me a couple of weeks ago that they were tired of playing each other, so I made sure to bring my 40K stuff in case they were still burned out.

When I arrived, they were going through some D&D stuff, but Nick was still all about throwing down versus the Nids. We decided on 1,500 points and lists were started!

This is the first of what will be come a weekly post about the goings on the the Southside of Indy including the Greenwood area. I will strive to scour the web and the stores themselves to bring the most current and useful informatin about upcoming events and whatever else I feel needs to be told. So without further delay here is the News for the Southside…

Malifaux taking off on Thursdays at the South Side GP

Straight from the Greenwood Game Preserve’s Facebook group it’s official Malifaux is growing in popularity enough so that Thursdays have become the dedicated night for Malifaux players to throw down in the creepy world of Malifaux. I personally haven’t had a chance to check out the Malifaux crew at the store but I know a lot of the players from the Warmachine\Hordes group are getting into Malifaux and I have nothing but positive words to say abut those guys. What other reason do you need? Interested in Malifaux? Stop by and check them out!
