Warhammer 40,000

 

Hallen’s Hobbies has a large range of Warhammer 40,000 (40K) products for 3rd edition as well as access to the full range via order.  We have a healthy group of players that participate in games of 40K on a regular basis, as well as regular events.  The best chance for a game of 40K is Thursday evenings, and Sundays.  Adam Nordberg, previously the President of the Ravenguard Gaming Club, operates a website dedicated to 40K and the Hallen’s Hobbies event results.  You can find Adam’s page here.

If you are interested in playing Warhammer 40,000 at Hallen’s hobbies here is some information that may be a little useful to you.  Most players come in on Thursday nights from about 6pm til 9pm or Sunday from 10am til 4pm.  The most popular games being played at the moment are test armies for the 650 point Sunday tournaments or the 1500 point league armies.  Other points values can be decided on either at the time of play or organised for a game the following week or session.  Below is information on the two formats being used.

 

650 points ‘4 Hours of 40K’

 

Warhammer 40,000 3rd edition with Trial Assault Rules (TAR).  All army lists in either a relevant Codex or Chapter Approved are legal; however YOU must supply the relevant rules.  If you use a Chapter Approved tweaked army and do not have the White Dwarf with you on the day, then you army’s rules revert back to the relevant basic Codex.  Armies must not exceed 650 points (651 is not acceptable)

 

1 elite choice (this must be a squad choice from the elites portion f your army list, this represents you HQ choice for the battle)

2 + Troop choices, this is a minimum, but you can max out on troops choices if you wish.

0 – 1 heavy support

0 – 1 fast attack

 

Vehicles within the choices above, you may choose up to 1 vehicle with max armour 36 (front + side + rear)

Or any number of vehicles with armour 30 (front + side + rear)

 

These small battles are meant to represent a small patrol force that are not being lead by a major character or even a high ranked officer within their organisation.  As a result, there are to be no independent characters.  In the last few months we have slowly tweaked the army lists requirements so that there is a balance of forces.  These are good fast games to learn some of the basics of the game without having to field a huge force.

 

Hallen’s Warhammer 40,000 Spring League

 

The Spring League is one of our bi-yearly Warhammer 40,000 events that have been going since Hallen’s opened.  The format is fairly simple.  Over 12 weeks, you must play 10 games.  You can only play any one opponent twice; these games cannot be twice in a row.  This means that you must play at least 5 different players.

 

Warhammer 40,000 3rd edition with Trial Assault Rules (TAR).  All army lists in either a relevant Codex or Chapter Approved are legal; however YOU must supply the relevant rules.  If you use a Chapter Approved tweaked army and do not have the White Dwarf with you on the day, then you army’s rules revert back to the relevant basic Codex.

 

Standard force organisation chart.  Armies must not exceed 1500 points (1501 is not acceptable).

 

Weekly games will be posted here to see how your opponents are doing.

 

 

17 July 04

Last Saturday (10 July 04) the Warhammer 40,000 players gathered together for a ‘big’ game.  At 21:00 on Saturday evening we started deployment on a set of tables pulled together to make an 8’ x 20’ battlefield.  These are the forces that turned up for the battle…

OK, we know that technically the Eldar and the Necrons wouldn’t be playing on the same side, but then, the players themselves are pretty evil, so we justified it that way.  The game had 4 objective locations, and it eventually resulted in a tie, with two of the objectives in contention and one each in the hands of opposing sides.   We went for six turns and finally drew a close to the game at end of turn six at about 03:00 Sunday morning.  As soon as we get the time we will post some photos from the evening.  Most of the players enjoyed the game so much that we are planning another one.  The rules are only starting to form, but it looks like it could easily be a fair bit bigger.  TBC date is Saturday 2 October 04.
