I'm sure he would find changing poopy diapers, listening to whining and screaming between two toddlers all day a pure joy!

[usbprime]

whatever.......pay him with models and i'm sure he'd be happy as a pig in ****.

I'm up to my ears in painting models for other people already....if I just stopped painting for other people, I'd have two 500 point armies by now.

[usbprime]

uuuuuuum.........i never said painted I'm sure you have a bunch of stuff you could assemble and give him.....1 model a day for babysitting.....seems fair.

[PG_Ghool]

Does anyone know of a Merc/Minion that works for all Warmachine/Hordes factions? Preferably one solo. I'll settle for one of each Merc/Minion, but I'd prefer just one single solo that works for anybody.

Is there such a thing? I think Gudrun is your most universal. Works for all but Protectorate/Retribution.

Rorsh/Brine work for erbody but Retribution..

[usbprime]

i don't have my cards with me (obviously......i'm at work) but what about saxxon orrik, or Gorman? I think wrong-eye works for everyone but ret, mercs and trolls.

[Graycross]

Rorsch and Brine are the most general, and I'm not really too interested in changing poopy diapers I'd do it if they're potty trained though

[PG_Ghool]

I think it might be Gudrun...I'll check my Minions book.
I've also dropped from the Team Tournament, as I'll be doing stuff with the kids, and I need time to enter my stuff into the painting competition.

[usbprime]

sigh......fine be that way........

[PG_Vynde]

still our ringer? not that it will likely happen haha, stars might align tho!

[PG_Ghool]

I'm working a late night shift in the Iron Arena on Saturday. We're also going to start the next season of the league one day early, on the 15th (Sunday) instead of the Monday.

Dawn is still signed up for it, so if one of you drops due to masters, I'll see if I can fill in. But, chances are I won't, because I don't want to leave my wife with the kids for all four days....

[usbprime]

it's cool.......you know what else is cool........eLylyth taking shots to the face from terminus ..........so much fun.

[PG_Vynde]

So that new store on Southland/Elbow Dr is open now, hopefully i can check it out sometime this weekend.

Cool! I'll have to check it out.

[KingArthur]

What's it called?

[PG_Ghool]

What's it called?

No idea on the name. It's in the strip mall on the corner of Southland and Elbow Dr. SW.

[PG_Vynde]

its called Imaginary Wars

[usbprime]

Oooooh new store of who's owners children i will be putting through college..........also i like how vynde ignored my heckling altogether.......

[Dawnlord]

Located so close to my house. It's gonna make going to sentry box a tough decision

[PG_Ghool]

You're telling me! It's down the street from my house. I can walk there in 20 mins, or drive in 2....from what I know about the owner, he's a big Warhammer guy.
But, Mike did say he wants to stock PP product.

I'll have to stop in there and talk to him about events and stuff.

[usbprime]

For sure........hopefully he's got a decent amount of room, Considering we had how many players for the SR. If we lost the prize support, for a nice store, with more room, I'd be completely alright with that.

Yeah, and that we have to make our own tables and terrain....if anyone gets there before me, let me know how much room he has.

I might toss the kids in the wagon and take a walk down there today.

Judging by some pictures ive seen, depending on how he sets up his merch.. i can't see us fitting our tournies in there.

Laaa-aaame.

EDIT:
Just took a look at his videos...only 3 4x6 tables in the back. So, it's quite obvious it's a Warhammer only set-up, and three tables isn't even enough for our regular weekly meet-up.

It also looks like they're carrying comics, and an entire wall of puzzles?? It sounds very much like the Great White game shop that was in Southcenter mall. It's the same dude who ran it as well.

There's 5 guys all in on it. This has me thinking; if they can do it, then we should get a bunch of investors together and just build our own damn shop....

Yah its definately too small to support us i think..

Mm game store.

[usbprime]

There is a LARGE vacant space by my place.......a rogers that shut down.......there's also an old blockbuster space for lease by macleod.

[usbprime]

Anyone stick their head into the new store yet?

[PG_Ghool]

Anyone stick their head into the new store yet?

Nope. But from the videos, it looks like a typical game store you'd find in a shopping mall. Almost 50% of their wall space is dedicated to puzzles.

I don't see them carrying much for miniatures outside of GW, if anything besides GW at all.

If any of you ever visted Great White in Southcenter, the store feels like a virtual clone.

[Dawnlord]

Well that's sounds not so good I once asked the Great White guys why they carried Monpoc but not Warmachine or Hordes he said it didn't sell. Hopefully this guys thinks a little differently.

[usbprime]

Maybe.......we just need to open our own store........and I'm kinda actually serious about it.

[PG_Ghool]

Yeah, me too. I've already made a corporation over 2 million in profit over the three years I ran the bakery. I know how to build a successful business already, and my wife is the Queen of retail. I'm just wondering about the start up costs.

And Dawn, Imaginary Wars is owned by the same guys that ran Great White.....they just didn't own Great White. That's why there's such a strong correlation. My question is; if the method, and practices you used at one location failed to turn a profit, why repeat the same business model, only in another location??

Besides that, running a successful business is more about a positive feeling and attitude when you walk in, than trying to push product. My idea would be to incorporate a cafe and short order food place into it as well. Gamers always need drinks and food. So, why send them to a fast food joint, Tim Horton's or otherwise, when you can capitalize on the money they're going to spend anyways?
But, doing that would add to the start up costs, as certain things need to be built, and zoned for serving food, plus permit costs. However, it would easily pay for itself within a year or two.

[usbprime]

Opening/running a store has always been a dream. If we were to do something of the sort, yeah, i'd incorporate a sandwich bar of some sort, and i would also leave a small area to make things, like my transport trays and terrain pieces to add to items to sell. We know as good as anyone what gamers want, so we would be able cater to them accordingly.

[PG_Ghool]

We should talk about this more next Sunday.

I've also decided to just paint up the rest of my Hogs as a 'unit'. Three War Hogs, and two Gun Boars; all at once, assembly line style....
