News and updates on what’s going on
Join us this Saturday in a game of Deathwatch: Overkill! Last week, during the Space Marine 30th Anniversary, we’ve mustered up the Squad that will be embarking on this perilous mission. We’ve gone and created some personalized rules for the Marines that were built last week.. Take a look at the Marines and their Rules after the jump. […]
So it has been 6 weeks since the Interns started their journey into Warhammer 40,000. Here’s their thoughts on the whole process and their Match of Warhammer 40,000. […]
Hey PI-Fans, Hope your weekend went great. We had a great time with Space-Marine-Day. Anyway, it's Monday, so back to work.

Next up is Galaxy Trucker, including The Big Expansion, Another Big Expansion and the Latest Models expansions Likewise, we've restocked Tzolkin, Space Alert, Tokaido, Catan and Alchemists on the board game front and reloaded our D&D rulebook trilogy.

Hey PI-Fans, This Saturday marks the 30th Anniversary of the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine, and Games @ PI is kicking off celebrations on the 16th of April, with a Build-A-Hero event from 1pm to 6pm. We’ve also procured limited quantities of the limited edition 30th Anniversary Imperial Space Marine model, which we’ll be releasing to the public on a first-come-first-serve basis. Up for a nostalgia trip? Grab a copy of Index Astartes, and take a walk down memory lane, to where there were Half-Eldar Librarians (SHOCK HORROR), and take a look at the developmental history of this iconic warrior. Or pick up your copy of Angels of Death and flesh out your Astartes Taskforce with all new formations and psychic powers. We’re looking forward to seeing you at our Deathwatch Marine workshop on Saturday, and excited to see what you’ll be slapping together on the day itself. See you Saturday, folks. [...]
Hey PI-Fans, As the first main line BattleTech novel since Endgame in 2002, (or if you prefer, To Ride The Chimera from the MechWarrior fiction line), Embers of War has big shoes to fill. Those of you who know me know I am fan of giant robots. And, as far as giant robots go, few science fiction properties have managed to grab me quite like the BattleTech universe.| As fans like to say; "Came for the giant robots, stayed for the politics". And, as you can tell from the article title, I am bored. There are seven BattleMechs on the cover art of Embers of War. So here's the deal. The first person to come in to Games @ PI and name all the BattleMech chassis on the cover to the counter staff gets this $6 Voucher Die.* To the victor go went the spoils. Hatchetman, Crusader, Orion, Centurion, Dragon, Banshee, Salamander
Hey PI-Fans, Stock-ma-geddon continues with a feline frenzy. Be the best crazy cat lady you can be in Here Kitty Kitty! as your battle your neighbours to attract cats to your yard. Pile your stack of cats in Cat Tower or teach them to be ninjas in Ninja Camp. Of course, it's not an entire catastrophe. Munchkin bucks the trend with Munchkin Puppies. Meanwhile urban renewal continues with Dice City and the All That Glitters expansion as you roll your way to victory in this all new city builder. Speaking of urban renewal, we've got an all new BattleTech novel. Embers of War is the first canonical BattleTech novel published since 2008, and picks up right where Endgame left off. Anyway, while you're loading up on goodies, don't forget we've got an upcoming Build-A-Marine Workshop on Saturday 16th April, so keep those tools sharp. - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager ______________________________________________________ [...]
Hello!! Finally, I started on the Triarch Stalker model. It was quite difficult doing this model when it comes to assembling it. One feature I like about this model was that I can move the two front big legs of the Triarch Stalker. Also, I like that I have choices to assemble a gun design to my liking and attach it to the model. Previously, I used one of the pieces from the gun pieces and put it on the Necron Warrior’s gun because the one I need was missing. […]
Pretty. What do we blow up first? — Wraith Squadron motto A Spot of Piracy Mk ii - Electric Boogaloo is a sequel to the original A Spot of Piracy X-Wing event run by Games @ PI in June 2015. The big difference here is... well... since that last convoy fell afoul of some dastardly pirates... well... the convoy ships have started shooting back. So prepare to 杀人放火. Come on down to Games @ PI on the 24th of April and put your piloting skills to the test in this free-for-all test of mettle, as pilots attempt to engage in some blatant cheaty-faced theft as they attempt to recover booty from a convoy of fleeing cargo ships and walk away with swag from the Spring 2016 X-Wing Tournament Kit including the swanky new alternate art Rebel Veteran Instincts card. Anyone know who that character is? She looks familiar but I can't place her. Summary: A Spot of Piracy [...]
Hey PI-Fans, As mentioned last week, Kenneth's Law of Shipment Attraction posits that "Regardless of how far apart shipments are planned and shipped, they will arrive together." Murphy's Addendum is an important modern corollary to the theory. It postulates that "The possibility of shipment arrival increases proportionately to the inconvenience of said arrival multiplied inversely by the shortage of manpower at the current point of time." Regardless, the fact that the proverbial shoe has dropped means times are good for gamers of all stripes. – Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager/The fact remains however that there is the other shoe, so to speak, which remains firmly suspended above my head. ______________________________________________________ Board and Card Game Restocks Card of the Dead Takenoko Tail Feathers New Miniature Wargame Releases Star Wars X-Wing: Ghost Expansion Star Wars X-Wing: Inquisitor's TIE Expansion Star Wars X-Wing: Mist Hunter Expansion Star Wars X-Wing: Punishing One Expansion Miniature Wargame Restocks Star Wars Imperial Assault: Chewbacca Expansion Star Wars Imperial Assault: Han [...]
