40K Neophytes – Learn to Paint and Play Warhammer 40K!

April 16th, 2013  |  Published in General announcements by Mike Montesa  |  Comments are off for this post

Are you interested in getting into Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 but have no idea where to start?

Are you fascinated by the miniatures, but you’ve never painted a miniature before and want to learn the basics?

Have you collected (and maybe even painted) an army but have yet to play even a single game?

Or are you a “lapsed” 40K player looking to dust off your old models and try out the new 6th edition of the game?

EndGame is pleased to now offer special beginner sessions focused on helping new players (and old) get into playing and painting the Warhammer 40,000 miniatures game!

These special sessions are held on Monday nights from 7pm to 11pm and are by reservation only. Sorry, no walk-ins! Each session is limited to a maximum of 2 participants, and geared to fit your experience level. There is no fee for these sessions!

Beginner Games – Beginner games will introduce you to the Warhammer 40,000 rules through actual play. The focus is on learning the game rules and basic game tactics, and what makes a fun game (hint: a good attitude and good sportsmanship). You do not need to have a Warhammer 40,000 army to participate in beginner game sessions – EndGame can provide an army for you to use on the day – but if you do have your own army, great, please bring it! EndGame can provide peripheral materials such as dice, tape measures and templates but you are free to bring your own.

Beginner Painting – Beginner painting sessions are focused on the basics of miniatures painting, including assembly and preparation, priming, using basecoats, layers, washes and highlights. EndGame can provide paints and brushes but you are strongly encouraged to bring your own. You must bring your own miniatures to paint.

The 40K Neophyte sessions are for participants aged 18 and up. Younger players are urged to join our Young Generals sessions on Friday nights.

To arrange a 40K Neophyte session, contact mike@endgameoakland.com

Star Wars Day X-Wing Miniatures Tournament

April 8th, 2013  |  Published in Events, Miniatures by Mike Montesa  |  Comments are off for this post

The Oakland X-Wing Group is proud to present its first ever Star Wars Day (May 4th) X-wing tournament at EndGame, Oakland!  This tournament is NOT an FFG sanctioned event (but might be some good practice if you are planning on participating in one of the regional tournaments later in the month).  Basically we just think that since Star Wars Day falls on a Saturday this year that it would be fun to take over EndGame and get as many games in as possible.

We will be following the tournament rules v1.2 (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/x-wing/support/faq/2013-Feb/X-Wing_TournamentRules_V1.2_web.pdf) for all 100 point matches in the tournament and playing to the following schedule:

10:00-10:30am : player check-in and squad verifications.  To help move things along you can go to this website: http://x-wing.voidstate.com/build to pre-build and print out your roster.
10:30 – 11:00am : rules clarifications and tournament set-up notes

11:00 – 12:00pm : MATCH 1
12:00 – 1:00pm : LUNCH
1:00 – 2:00pm : MATCH 2
2:15 – 3:15pm : MATCH 3
3:30 – 4:30pm : MATCH 4
4:45 – 5:45pm : MATCH 5
6:00pm : score finalization and prize awards

There will be a $10 entrance fee with ALL money that comes in being given back out as prizes in the form of Endgame gift cards based on the following prize structures:

4-8 players: 1st place gets a 50% gift card, 2nd place gets a 25% gift card, 3rd place gets a 15% gift card, 4th place gets a 10% gift card.

9-16 players: 1st kill of the day gets a $5 gift card, 1st suicide (asteroid crash or damage card that requires a player to take damage from bumping other ships) gets a $5 gift card, 1st place gets a gift card for 50% of remaining money, 2nd place gets a gift card for 25% of remaining , 3rd place gets a gift card for 15% of remaining, 4th place gets a gift card for 10% of remaining.

Over 17-24 players: 1st kill of the day gets a $5 gift card, 1st suicide (asteroid crash or damage card that requires a player to take damage from bumping other ships) gets a $5 gift card, 1st place gets a gift card for 47.5% of remaining money, 2nd place gets a gift card for 22.5% of remaining , 3rd place gets a gift card for 12.5% of remaining, 4th place gets a gift card for 10% of remaining, 5th place get’s a gift card for 5% of remaining, 6th place gets a gift card for 2.5% of remaining.
