Newby from the SF Bay Area

Just played my first Death Squads game last night at Ronin Games and Hobbies in Castro Valley. It was awesome and the guys there were very helpful. Thanks to Ed (owner), Steve, and Kevin for helping a new guy out. Ed especially for letting me use his Eldar squad (which kicked ass, sorry about getting your Warlock killed though). I'm as hooked as can be and can't wait to start out a squad of my own and play more often.

Welcome to Death Squads!

It's great to hear about new players and new groups of players setting up games!

Glad you enjoyed it. If you have any feedback we'd love to hear it.


Cheers Laney

PICS! BATTLEREPORTS!

Welcome to Death Squads!

Welcome to the forums!!!

To bad for the warlock, they do damage.

Yay I'm glad to see someone else from Ronin. Hopefully we can get the league started up soon.

Thanks everybody.

Yeah I almost landed a Mindwar attack on a Space Marine leader on only the second or third turn. haha I was soooo close and hit snake eyes on the hit roll.

Hell yeah. I gotta get a squad started up though, and I seriously just started miniature gaming so I have nothing at all. Thinking of starting an Ork squad, although I would definitely like some Eldar.

That would have been nasty!!!

I also saw your new to wargaming, i think you kicked a good game to get started on since theirs not so many models and not to much money.

And you want orks or eldar, it all depends on how you want to play.

Yeah. I really like the Elder play style, keep your distance pick away at the enemy. But I have to admit the Ork's in-you-face (or hulk smash as I call it) play style sounds very fun.

I loved my orks there toughness 4 comes in handy alot in this game.

Welcome to the board!
Great way to get introduced to the game btw, I'm planning to build an introductionary team which I can use for friends to lure them in the game!

Playing my first game tonight with my own squad! I finally finished my squad build/character sheets, and almost have them all painted. I'm pretty jazzed about it, I've been itching to get in on some action.

WELCOME Cpt.VonAwesome!!!

I'm happy you found our game and that you enjoy it so much. Please open a new thread and show up your models! We LOVE pics... no matter how they look, we want to see them!!!!

Enjoy ... enjoy YOUR game!

Thanks Mordheimer. I'll post up some pics soon, I'm going to revise my squad build and try to finish painting them all today.

Are you from Castro Valley, CA too?

I used to live there but not now. I now live less than 15 Minutes away and hit the hobby shop at least once a week. My brother-in-law wants to start his own squad now, so once he does I'll have to set up my own table and make some terrain so we can have a home game .

Hey all,

This is Kevin from Ronin Games and Hobbies in Castro Valley. Just thought I would drop a line. We've been playing a campaign for around a month and have been using some home-brew squads that were made up by two guys from the shop. Anyways, I'll take some pictures and try to remember to post them.

Yes, pictures! Would love to see them.

Welcome! Pictures are awesome!

oh yeah, I'm new to all this fancy forum stuff, so how do I go about posting said pictures?

Best way is to check this Tutorial (LINK)... there you can learn how to post pics. ALSO, there are a couple of nice Tutorial on how to take good pics of your models on the cheap!

Thanks Mordheimer.
