Indianapolis & Bungled GW Orders


Over the last 24 hours, I received two pieces of news, one happy and one not-so-happy:

First, the good news: I'm moving to Indianapolis

I'll officially be moving to Indianapolis in a little over a month. I already work there, and will be looking forward to living in this great city, host to GenCon and other great gaming events. If any of my readers are in the Indianapolis area and want to get together for a game. My only requirements are that you 1) Are not a douchebag 2) Shower at least once a day and 3) do not bring Space Marines (or any derivatives) or Grey Knights.

Now the bad news: GW’s Bungles Advanced Gamer & Collectors Edition Orders

Apparently GW has decided that its brick-and-mortar retailers, and their customers, now are going to play second-fiddle to their own online store. I recently placed an order with my local game store (http://www.3sdgames.com/) for the Gamer’s Edition. Apparently GW relayed to their distributors, the “trade account managers” that they would be unable to guarantee availability of 40kV6 Collectors or Gamers Editions. This information failed to be passed down from the trade account managers to the retailers themselves, and subsequently to customers (such as this blogger). Long story short: customers who relied on their brick-and-mortar stores to get Collectors and Gamers editions of 6th Edition of 40k got the shaft. So if anyone has an extra 6th Edition Gamer's Edition Man-Purse, please let me know.

  1. Welcome to town!

    I'm building up a Mordian army, but primarily play Eldar. There may be something I keep hidden regarding the number XIX, but they're really-back burnered.

    Anway, I game many weeks at the Game Preserve north store (on 86th, roughly across from Keystone at the Crossing, aka "the fashion mall"). My SO and I also go to a painting club at the Game Preserve south location (on US31 south near Greenwood) on many Saturdays.

    If you'd like to arrange a game (either at one of the local stores, the Arsenal Game Room, or privately hosted), drop me a line!

  3. Where is the Arsenal Game Room and 1) do they have good terrain and 2) what is the gaming scene like there.

    Greenwood Game Preserve staff is nice but they don't have adequate gaming space.
