Exigence - or - Why I Felt the Need to Create this Blog

12 August 2012.

Wow. 6th Edition is here, and I feel like it incorporated many facets of our house rules here are the Lower Register.

Go us. GW, you can have those for free.

Plz look for some updates soon as I try to figure out how my precious BA will fit in to the world of Overwatch and Random Charging distances. Gotta say, so far, I am loving the idea of 5 attacks per Death Company Marine (2 base, 2 for charging, 1 for extra weapon).

Why Lower Register? Pedro and I started playing various wargames about five years ago, but found that we just didn't have time to complete standard games. We, along with our limited pool of playing partners, decided that we would become good at skirmish games that we could enjoy on a regular basis. So, over time we amassed a body of experience in Kill Team, Warmachine, Infinity, and other such games. This blog is the natural outgrowth of that experience, and our desire to share it with you all.

NoVA Open Excitement

I have my ticket and am preparing my (open gaming) lists for the NoVA Open.

I am going to be bringing my terminator-heavy Blood Angels, and my Black Reach Orks.

I actually just hope to get in a few good games.  Originally, I had hoped to be able to play a full NoVA 2,000 points, but it looks more like 1,500 is going to be the points level that my friends want to play.  Happy to accommodate!

If I am reading the warp correctly, there should be open gaming tables in various forms from about 5:30 PM on Thursday, 25 August.  Then after 10 PM on Friday.  After that, it's pretty much GT straight through 'til Sunday.  But maybe there will be an odd table or two to snag for a game.  Maybe.

Per the NO website, the current list of sponsors/vendors is: Battle Foam, Back-2-Base IX, Games Workshop, The Black Library, The WarStore, SpikeyBits, Portable Warfare, Bitz Box, Privateer Press, Wyrd Miniatures, Amazing Magnets, War Cast Studios, and more.

As this is my first time attending anything like this, I am very curious as to what is in the Stuff We All Get (S.W.A.G.) Bag.  Also happy to see Battlefoam and Portable Warfare on the list above.

If you see the guy with the poorly painted Golden Blood Angels Terminators, you'll know it's me!





P.S.  I was very shocked to read the below in the NoVA Open PDF newsletter.  Score a point for brutal honesty:

"A common misnomer (or not) about tabletop wargamers is that they forget to shower and develop an atmosphere similar to that caricatured by Pig-Pen in the Peanuts cartoons. Obviously, from a NOVA Open point of view, should a player cause another player to reel backwards from the game seeking clean-fresh air, a certain level of “respect” will have been violated!   Please keep the showers regular and the deodorant handy."
