Th-th-th-that's All Folks!

Well, the time is fast approaching that the Sober Dwarf in the capacity that you know it now will no longer exist!  Its a sad time for Mandy and myself as we prepare to close our doors.  Our last day of official business will be June 24th.  There will be games nights June 14th and June 21st.  Please come down and see us soon, we have tons of great deals on.  If there is anything in the store you've been thinking about, please make us an offer.  All of the Magic Cards, Games Workshop and World of Warcraft stock will be going to K-Max.  They will continue to sell the products locally.

Just so you know, we are not closing the store for any other reason than we may be facing a move related to my work in the near future, and we couldn't have the store holding us back.  If I were to move I would have little notice and I didn't want Mandy to have to close down the store and sell our house while I was away working in the new city. 

This blog will keep going, so check in once and awhile!  We'll talk about events and tournaments we'll be hosting for as long as we still live in Quesnel, then we will turn it over to the K-Max crew.  We are still planning to host the Waaagh Waaagh West tournament in September, so keep checking back for details!

It has been a wonderful two years getting to know everyone, and we wish we didn't have to close, but we'll see you all around!

'ard Boyz Information

Location:  Billy Barker Casino Hotel Show Room, Quesnel BC
Date:  Sunday, May 16th, 2010
Time:  First Game Starts at 8:00am sharp.
Prizes:
  1. Battle Force
  2. Medium Box Set
  3. Blister
The top three finishers will also qualify for the Semi-Finals.  The location has yet to be determined for that event.  If you place in the top three and will not be going, please let us know so that your invitiation can be handed to other participants.

The games start so early because we have to vacate the premises by 4pm because their liquor licence kicks in and no minors will be allowed on site.  There are NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS allowed, but there should be cheap pop, and there is a restaurant upstairs that you can order food from and it will be delivered to you downstairs.  There is enough room to accommodate 16 players, there are currently 13 registered. 

We ask that anyone who is attending our event who has already secured an invitation to the semi-finals please let us know before the games begin.  You are still eligible to win the prizes, but should you place again at our tourney, your invitation to the semi-finals will be handed to the next best finishing player.  This is just to keep things fair, and to enable as many local players as possible to attend the semi-finals.  All rules found on the Games Workshop website regarding the 'ard Boyz 2010 tournament will be in full effect for the duration of the tournament.

I will not be participating in the event as I am hosting it.  I know there are some people who asked if I was playing. 

Great White in Prince George will be hosting the tournament on May 15th.  If you play there you are still more than welcome to play at ours as well.  If you are not going to be attending ours because you will be attending that one instead, please let us know ASAP so that we can open your space for another player.

Thanks, and I hope to see lots of familiar faces duking it out to be called 'ard Boyz.

New Blog

Greetings!

Just dropping a note that I'm working on a new Blog that will document my experiences with 'ard Boyz 2010 for 40K.  The site is:  http://ardboyz2010.com/.  I will start by examining my army selection, my composition choices, and I am looking for whatever feedback I can get. I will include videos and pictures as my progress proceeds.  At this point, I haven't even figured out what army I'm going to bring.   I love my Eldar and would love to take them, but a win would be very difficult.  Right now I'm also considering a Space Marine, Space Wolves or Imperial Guard army as choices.  I will buy all the models I need once I've tested the various lists out.  So, follow me on my road to 'ard Boyz 2010!
