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!

I just got the package from Custom Kingdoms. This stuff is 100 times better than I thought it was. Look no further for your building needs. These buildings are quality top to bottom. The future is bright and with the semi-modular style of the materials used the possibilities are endless. I cannot wait to see what is next.

Here is a video of the first building I have received from these guys.

This building will be on the top table at every Circle City Circuit event.

Here is a few pics from their website

This is the first army is a new series of articles about armies. If anyone out there does have a painted army for any game system in the Indianapolis area. Please pm me on the forum and I will be happy to do an army spotlight entry with your army as well.

The Republic of Verezzo has been one of Jon Cash’s ongoing projects. The army is a Conquistador themed army. Everybody has the conquistador style helmet. The closer you look the more stuff you see. Like the leadbelchers are holding Bronzino’s Galloping Guns. The cannons are bronzinos galloping guns. All the crews and musicians are halflings or dwarfs.

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.

This was my 3^rd game of WFB and I decided to write up a battle report and hopefully get some good advice one what mistakes I made.  The first I think is my list.  I must have been jacking around with army builder and forgot to add equipment to my Lord.  No wonder I had so many war machines.  Also, I didn’t realize how cheesy 2 organ guns can be…so I won’t do that next time!  I included what the runes do because I posted this report on a non-dwarf site too.
