PURPOSE
Austin Warhammer 40k is dedicated to high standards in sportsmanship, gameplay, and the hobby aspect of the Warhammer game. These are characterized in the following ways:
Sportsmanship -- we play 40k to have fun, not as an all-holds barred competition to win. When conflicts come up we solve them in a manner that is fair to all sides. If we find seeming loopholes in the rules, we do not abuse them.
Gameplay -- we keep current with rules updates and official rulings and interpretaions. We make a concerted effort to play by the rules when rules exist, or come up with fair extentions to the rules that add a minimum of complexity to the game. We try to play our best and learn from our mistakes (never in short supply!)
Hobby -- Attractive, nicely painted figures are what separate miniature games from boardgames. We use figures that are painted when we play games and try to be WYSIWYG whenever possible. We share advice on conversions and painting and help each other slowly build armies that we can feel proud of.
WHERE WE PLAY
Currently we play at the Dragon's Lair location on Burnet in Austin. They have a mini gaming night every tuesday and Tib and I usually show up for it around 6:30pm to try to get a table before the hordes arrive.
HOW TO STAY IN TOUCH
We have a private mailing list on Yahoo that we post scheduling info to, as well as tidbits of rumors or rules changes as well as battle reports. Send us some mail if you are interested in being added to this list.
