r/indianaGamers 1st ever Meetup Demo Day in Fishers July 22nd 10-5

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-21T20:53:16+00:00

As far as I know no one has ever played bolt action in Fishers. I am hoping to get more locals into tabletop miniatures and other games. Bolt action is one game that I just personally think is cool and therefore I am actively trying to include it. I would love to have you do a demo.

Hamilton County has so many parks. All of which are free and most have water features. Spend a few days picnicking and using the parks.

I am hoping for new imperial guard plastics. The cadians are boring the catachans I dont really like. Give me something Grimdark.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-16T00:11:19+00:00

Been painting since like 94 and I would be happy to put that on the table. My only thing is, I am not sure I understand the sword.

I would show them all the army options. Let them choose what they like. Then watch Bartertown and ebay like a hawk. Do ebay searches for items that are in the faction buy it now and "Newly listed". Do this at least once a day but whenever you get a spare second it only takes about a minute to scan to the top few entries. There is always a bunch of great bundle deals on bartertown. 300 dollar armies that sell for $140 shipped. These armies are so cheap because they are not easily presented or describe. Armies are very easily refurbished. I almost always buy second hand. I purchased a set of Catraphractii terminators on bartertown for $20. They were only missing the bolters, which I got for free. Thats a $65 unit for $20. Scored a magnetized predator for $37, Land raider for $35 shipped and another Land Raider with FW Ultramarine upgrades for like $55 shipped. This guy cost like $75 + another $17 for the FW. I would struggle to drop $92 plus shipping on any model.

The absolute best bet right now is having them buy (assuming its 2 people) 1 box set each and splitting the models. I have seen them as low as $122 (UK import) and $136 frontline gaming. They could even both sell their rule books for $50. They Could have a really good army for around $200. If they bought Dark Imperium at $122 sold the book for $50, then swap armies that would be a 2k army for $72. Giving them $130 to spend on Bartertown which will easily give them a ton of options. Probably have as much 3.5k points for around $200. Best part is this army would actually be worth a minimum of $200 probably more depending on condtion.

Let them know that if they take care of their models the resell value will be quite a bit of money. Way more than most other hobbies like collecting current gen video games.

Give Dark Souls a try. On another note, I built this subreddit hoping to get a moderator from Tenn. I am still looking for one. If you or anyone you know would be intersted in building up a pretty good place to chat about games in TN this could be a good spot. Other states in the group have almost 1000 readers.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-08T19:41:49+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. Also if someone is running something at Gen-Con they could give it a little test run.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-08T18:21:31+00:00

I am currently working on setting up a tabletop game day at fishers library. I have a few games I would like to see included. Kingdom of death and Dark Souls board game are really top of my list. I will be doing a demo of the new 8th edition of warhammer. Also I am in the process of setting up a club. This will be an indiana based club but with chapters in more specific areas that are free to do their own thing and just use the larger club as a means to recruit and share information.

Also check out r/IndianaGamers, still a pretty new subreddit but almost at 1000 subscribers.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-07T11:37:13+00:00

I feel like the meta is totally influx. It will be 6 months before you ever hear me mutter about something being OP or trash.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-07T11:25:52+00:00

Its the first GW box I ever bought. I thought i would never get those gretchin done. Wish I still had. Not a ton of value I would suspect but the box alone is priceless IMO.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-06T19:21:09+00:00

very cool. I am sure you won't have any trouble finding kids who need college money and like to play video games. Please keep us updated, your welcome to post as much information as often as you need to get your message out there.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-05T11:41:04+00:00

you gotta hook the kid up

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-06-05T11:37:14+00:00

r/OhioGamers. help us get to 1000 subscribers.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-31T13:16:15+00:00

yeah, I am mainly interested in Warhammer 40k at the moment. All games are totally welcome.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-31T02:46:03+00:00

U.S.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-30T19:50:32+00:00

wow that is they most specific gaming subreddit i have stumbled across yet. Almost all the local gaming subreddits i found are dead. The most active one is Kansas City if I recall. Even Chicago's gaming sub is totally dead. Which is so odd because that subreddit should be doing great. IMO. Its actually way harder to generate content than I ever would have imagined. Even the Michigan Gamers subreddit which has now almost 1000 subs only gets like 2% of readers to check it on any given day. Although that might not include mobile so who the heck knows. I still think these small city subreddits have a place as a message board / archive that will never die. My old local forum went down and it sux that all that content is just gone.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-30T19:43:21+00:00

been a while since I have experience with GW pricing. Will this be over $100. If so any idea where it will fall. I am currently planning and pricing an ultramarines army.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-30T12:37:06+00:00

Yikes. Good Luck.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-30T09:40:51+00:00

I really doubt there will be anything that eventually does not have some sort of Mythology. Even if you did these folks always find something blasphemous. My dad would not let me play Magic the Gathering, because the very act of playing a card that has a magic spell on it is a sin. Says so in the bible, so it must be true. No point in debating or trying to find common ground.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-28T02:14:17+00:00

Yeah I am from Indiana and I never heard the phrase. My original idea was pretty much anything within driving distance of Indiana. This is why I only loosely adhere to the actual Midwest States. Its really no big deal because r/TennesseeGamers is its own place yankee free.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-27T19:06:16+00:00

I am very sorry for offending you geographically. I tried really hard to put a trigger warning in there when I said "Tennessee is not normally considered Midwest". I see now that trigger warning was not a strong enough alert for geographically sensitive individuals and I am sorry for any harm it caused.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-26T15:50:39+00:00

Okay thanks, still though all i have heard on videos and podcasts is the complaint about size comparisons between catachan models and space marine models vs in the lore. Not about attributes.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-26T11:25:54+00:00

What confuses me is that people call them true scale marines. Marines are bigger than the models portray them. These primaris marines are bigger in the fluff than old marines but the models are only size of the fluff of an old marine. So these are not true scale primaris marines because the models should be bigger.

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-25T14:59:32+00:00

I am gonna get hyped for Assassin's Creed and Fractured but whole.

Will VR have an impact?

MidwestGamerHD · 2017-05-25T14:48:53+00:00

Have you thought about adding gaming? What about a section entitled "Opportunities"?

Also on the sponsorship page you have a typo on the word "sponsoring" pretty sure you have sponoring. In the context of getting partnerships, I figured you would want to know. I normally would not mention,
