E3 is incredible, I attended once, wow 15 years ago now .  

I think one of the reasons conventions in the US are so big is that we're so geographically separated that an event really has to be worth the travel to attend.

E3 and PAX for example are both 4 hours by airplane from where I live.

Adepticon is a 7 hour drive.

I travel around USA for work so gunna schedule my jobs to happen a day before/after these big conferences 

Yeah America doesn't do half-measures on this sort of thing, they put on a hell of a show and every little detail is done so great. I for one welcome our american overlords.

I'll be there next year. Seems great. Also gunna get to E3. America seems better at these types of events than the uk.

Okay ill look into twitter. I thought twitter was for politics stuff. 

I've also signed up for an evening game at another local GW store (there's 4 within an hour) and it seems way better. The storekeep seemed genuinely enthused to play my goblins. Maybe he is always this enthused, who knows

This is helpful, thanks. 

I'm new to the game and so far I have done the following:

• joined local store-based facebook group to see if folks want to play (only 2 others on it though)
• kept an eye on national events and tournaments, on this site only - are there other sites I should monitor? (the calendar on this site is not up to date it seems, but the events forum itself is)
• joined a grot-based facebook group, but this is just for show and tell it seems. 
• coerced 2 friends into playing the game too, but they then chose 40k instead. 

Is there anything else you recommend? Local pickup games just seem quite difficult, even living 5 minute walk from Element Games store. 

My next plan is to try and entice opponents by showing pictures of my beautiful army, like a peacock attracting a mate.

Thanks, @Sheriff and yeah it's very satisfying.  Especially with how comfortable I now feel painting white.  Do you have any pictures of what you have so far?  Love to see them.

I'm not sure how to post in this gallery section. When I tried it just says error uploading... 

Mine are in this pic though:

Must be an awesome feeling to finish an army properly like this, I'm jealous! (430/1000 currently...)

Those models look ace, especially with the uniformity of colours/styles etc. (e.g. the white bits). Awesome job!
