March Massacre 2012 – Final Results!

Well, our first big tournament is complete and in the books guys! Overall, we had an outstanding time with Tim at Gatehouse Games. The overwhelming repose from the local players, along with several people who traveled 2+ hours to play was just amazing. We went into this event hoping to hit 10 players and we were shocked to see 24 people show up to play. So shocked, we were building tables on the fly in round one to make room for everyone!

We want to make our sincerest apologies to Bill who bowed out of the event as we did not have enough room for everyone to play, and to those players who had to take a bye and only got two games in that day. We simply did not expect to see so many of you out there that day! This is a lesson we have learned the hard way and will be sure to bring more tables and terrain to our next event to make sure EVERYONE can play!

Outside of a few hiccups in my spreadsheet not expecting as many people as we had, the event went smoothly and I think everyone had a great time. Josh Turiano took first place, scoring 10’s in each and every one of his games, and he took second in painting! Alex Vavreck wowed us with his amazing paint job and he took home first place in painting! And since everyone at the event were such good sports, Tim could not decide on a Best Sportsmen and instead decided to give all people attending the event a 10% discount on purchases made that day! That was just amazing!
Here are the overall results from the day, we look forward to seeing you all in our next event, to be announced soon:

Hobby 101: A brave new world "dipping"

Hello gamers! It has been a bit since I last posted. I haven’t been playing 40K lately mostly due to work, but I have been doing some work in the hobby. Lately, the gaming group has been bitten by the Fantasy bug. I know, I know, we are mostly a 40k blog but I’m going to post a few Fantasy things here from time to time.

As of late I’ve been painting up my Tomb Kings! I have been looking in to ‘dipping’ to help speed up the process. So I’m learning as I go and you'll all along for the ride!

Here is the beginning of the project.

More pics to come.

The 1500 Point Toy Soldier Tournament

So the Cellar Dwellers recently attend a tournament held in Ligonier, Pa at the YMCA/Store hosted by Toy Soldiers Gallery. Brad ran the event and it was an awesome time. Ed (EvilEd209) pulled in a 3-0 record and took 2nd place and best overall Imperial Player. Sean also did well and took best Xenos player, 4thplace overall. Chad, Tom, and Slick also attended the event.

Here is the video coverage that Chad and Ed record of the day!

40K Battle Reports: DJ's First Game of 2012

Well hello folks, DJ here! I just had my first game of 2012 one hour after midnight and happy to say the world didn't end lol . It was against Matt's Elder(he was my first player at the Steel City Showdown 2011 at Legions in Pittsburgh) with my CSM.

I used things I haven't played with before like my Thousands Sons and my Noise Mariners as well as a Slannesh Terminator Lord and a landraider.

The game was a kill point mission with spearhead deployment. I played to a draw which I'm taking as a win as I'm going to draw most of the games this year. So my New Years resolution is that I'm going to be shelving my IG for 2012 and I'm playing my CSM exclusive this year.

So with that folks I must go, I'm writing these on my phone lol. So with that always go for the throat

Getting to Know the Cellar Dwellers: Chad Brown (aka, the_typodemon)

Greetings everyone. I'm Chad Brown, a.k.a. the_typodemon of The Cellar Dwellers. I've been playing 40k now since mid to late second edition. Chaos Space Marines have always been my choice when it's time to throw down. I have to admit, in the game my best friend is Kharn. Most people see me heading to the table and before I get anything out, they start planning on how they are going to kill him. Hey, the guy's awesome! I even got my own mark of Khorne on my body. I have been checking out other HQ choices recently, but I'll always like Kharn and those Berzerkers.

I've lived in south western and south central PA, mainly south western. I'm told I have the burgh accent. Yeah, I say pop, yunz, n'nat. I have a son (Logan), and he's big on playing Orks. We've played many games over the years (D&D, Magic, etc.), but 40k is our favorite. It's hard to tell him it's bed time when he's up for yet another game. We have tons of fun.

Recently the group has started planning tournaments, and I'm the groups connection to Gatehouse Games in Duncansville, PA. The store owner (Tim Gatehouse) and I are looking to bring some awesome events this year, along with a few beginer events. If you haven't been to Gatehouse games, what's wrong with you? The place is a great size, the selection is awesome, and it has some of the best tables I've ever seen (check out the beach table). Everyone there is friendly, and is ready to game at a moments notice. Those are the main reasons I feel lucky to be the groups connection there.

Anyhow, if you're in central PA, stop by Gatehouse Games and see if I'm there. I'm up for a game, or just b.s.ing about Warhammer 40k. Later.

Chad Brown, a.k.a. the_typodemon
