LLV Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Is there an AoS community anywhere in Calgary? Any regular events or games going on? I'm just getting into the game (been in the hobby a long time though) and not found much going on community wise when searching on google and various other groups. Thanks in advance!

xjoelx Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm pretty new to AoS in Calgary but there are a few places to play and groups playing AoS in Calgary. First, try and join the Age of Sigmar Calgary group on facebook as most events get posted there. The largest group seems to meet up in the NE at Ogre's Den Gaming on thursday nights. There are some that play at the Sentry Box although I don't really know much about them. Imaginary Wars in the South has AoS nights thursday the month of March for the Dread Solstice campaign. And depending where you live you might want to check out Monster Hobbies in High River. They have a 1000 point tournament going on near the end of the month and have weekly meetings as well. Um, yeah, that's about what I know, hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjoelx Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 oh, sorry for the double post but forgot to add that people also meet up and play at Games Workshop in Chinook mall. Played there once and it was fun with nice people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLV Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks mate! I'll check out your suggestions. I played MtG at a few of those locations and am in the south. You mentioned a tourney - do you know if 1000pts is the general points level people play here? Would be could to know as I build my army. Thanks again.

xjoelx Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'm not exactly sure what most people play at honestly. I just started getting into AoS this christmas. There is a 2 day tournament at the Ogre's Den this weekend that's 2000 points. And March 15th at Imaginary Wars they are playing 750 point games. Guess it depends on the place.

ParachuteHopper Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Good to know that there are people playing in Calgary. I just got into the hobby as well. I live downtown so I'll more than likely be playing at the sentry box in the future, but it's good to hear that there are plenty of places playing.

amysrevenge Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Ogre's Den is the place to be for AoS. Regular games on Thursday nights, 15-25 people usually. Tournaments almost monthly between Edmonton and Calgary, of various types (singles, doubles, starter box only, etc.) Best bet is to check out two Facebook groups: Alberta Age of Sigmar and Ultimate Gamers.

Is it easy to get a pickup game? Also how are unfinished armies recieved? I'm working on 2k worth of freehold but it's 90% unpainted, but easily recognizable.

Easy, and received without complaint (although there might be teasing if the unpaintedness lasted for a very long time). Most weekend tournaments have painting requirements, but club nights don't. Best bet is to join the FB group, as "pick up" games are often arranged there on the week-of rather than just waiting until Thursday when folks show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParachuteHopper Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Awesome, I'll be in soon for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Haha I won't, as I've moved to Grande Prairie for the foreseeable future. But the group is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankelton Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Going to bump this ancient thread. Been into the hobby side a ton for a while, but not playing as of yet. Anyone a part of a community in the Calgary area(s) in need of a new player? Interested in getting into a friend group I can physically play with once this pandemic is in the rearview!

jiels Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Where are you in the city? There is a competitive group of people that play in the NE at Ogre's Den. You can find them if you look up Ultimate Gamers on facebook I think, it's been a while since I've looked them up. If you are in the South there is a group of us that are more casual that play at Imaginary Wars in the SW. We even had a league going last year right before Covid hit.

Shankelton Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Good to hear! I'm actually in the northwest, out in Cochrane. But fairly flexible on where I travel for games if I can find a good group. I find I'm eyeing a mix of competitive and narrative. More of the later then the former, doubt I could play a game where I don't have some narrative involvement for the fun of it. Will keep both the places in mind though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenborn Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Another Calgary player/lurker here. Can’t wait to see this apocalypse end so we can get back to gaming with other humans. At least the last year has been a good opportunity to tackle some of my horde unpainted plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
