Hey Brian! Welcome! Looking forward to facing off against some Eldar!
Dice Dojo is great and has games on Wednesdays. Good Games (in the lincoln park area) has 40k on Thursdays and you can always get games on the weekends!
The Shadespire bug is getting around so you should be able to find plenty of that

I believe good games has a shadespire starter box tournament in the next couple weeks, so that might be a good place to play a bit and meet a few people for more games.

I am very interested in getting into Shadespire. And it looks like I am going to be able to negotiate my one evening a week release to get back down to Good Games. Will almost certainly be there this Wednesday to check it out and pick up a box.

I miss my biel-tan aspect troops, but dire avengers were always my favorite anyway. I still remember my exarch stalling a hive tyrant for 3 turns. I also kinda miss 3rd edition banshee models. Maybe one day well get plastic aspects/phoenix lords.
However, I am loving the strategems of 8th edition.

Hey, I'm John Farmer (Farmer John). I've been playing X-wing and the like at the Dojo for a few years. I also make it out games plus and pastimes. I've been interested in 40k since a kid in middle school brought a dreadnought to school, never really had the disposable income to make it happen until recently. Had a couple false starts with 3rd edition and battle for macragge tho. I've played like half a dozen games of 8th, but if I don't get some mileage out of these models I'm gonna feel bad. I've got about 2K worth of world eaters and I think about 2k of guard/custodes soup, along with some random space marines. Not really looking to do the competitive stuff, competitive x-wing kinda burned me out on that. Hope to see y'all around!

Welcome lynxkcg ! The Dojo is a great place to play 40k, but we also play a good bit at Good Games Chicago on Webster.

Hey everyone, my name is Jivesh and I'm new to the forum. I'm 35 and have been living in Chicago since 2011.
I used to live in the UK and played Warhammer fantasy as a kid back in 1994 and eventually got into 40k in 1998. Fell out of the hobby in the early 2000's and recently felt the itch to get back into it as i love the modeling and painting side of the hobby. I've been putting together a Deathwatch army and would love to get a chance to play it!
I basically have to relearn the game from scratch so happy to start off with a intro to 8th edition ; anyone interested in a 40k tutoring session for a n00b? I'd say the friendly games/campaigns and fluffy stuff are more appealing to me than any serious tournament style play.
I live downtown and haven't yet found a place or group to play with/at so all recommendations are welcome!

jeevy welcome back to the hobby! The main places people play are at the Dice Dojo and Good Games Chicago. I personally play at Good Games, our usual gaming night is Thursday, but there are always other games going on throughout the week. We also just got a TON of models at the store thanks to a very generous donation. If you ever want to try to learn or some help any of the guys there are more than willing. I'm always up to teach new players so ask for Brian. You can also find us on discord at: discord.gg/HsduXk

Thanks! Been spending the last month enjoying putting together this new army and painting it. I'm looking forward to getting the chance to getting these guys on the gaming table!
Just checked out Good Games Chicago on the map and it seems like its pretty close to where i live, which is great!
What are some of the best days/times to meet players there? Most weekdays I work till 7pm.

jeevy Thursdays is the normal day, but people arrange games via facebook and the discord I linked above on other days of the week/weekends.
