Join Up
Interested in getting involved with the 42nd Legion? We play mostly woodsball and scenario style (mil-sim) paintball but don’t mind introducing curious speedballers to the tactical, grass stained side of paintball. Some of our best players came over from the speedball side.
We ask that our players play with honor, honesty, respect and sportsmanship. We do have a portable chrono and ask that all players chronograph markers before the day’s initial game. Loaner gear is available for those who need it (markers, masks, usually tanks).
With Us (Joining Up)
We always welcome new recruits of all backgrounds, whether new to us or new to paintball. For folks that are interested in joining us recreationally or are a first time player, we ask that they not spend a lot of money on starting gear.
The Legion has a “first taste is free” policy – it’s all part of the plan to get you hooked. The consumables (paint and air/CO2) are the only cost you need to worry about. We have basic loaner gear available (markers, masks, usually some tanks). Try the sport, see if you like it, and find your playing style before spending money on upgraded gear.
If you decide that you want to play with us more frequently and want to upgrade gear or are willing to take the plunge and go full scenario/mil-sim then ask us for recommendations. We have sponsor arrangements with some area stores and we’d be more than happy to point you in the direction of the best deals, prices, trades or have gear custom made for you.
In the 42nd Legion we have two classifications. First is the scenario team which consists of people that can and are able to commit to scenario play and the associated costs (financially and in practice/training time). If you take your fun seriously this is the group for you. Scenario players sign up for a more intensive paintball experience: we travel to large scale events and make a name for ourselves. We try to hold at least two scenario practices a month, plus local pickup games. Keep an eye on our calendar for those events.
Second is the skirmish team which consists of recreational players that enjoy a good game of paintball but either can’t commit to or are not interested in the requirements for the scenario team. Our skirmish players are always welcome to come out and paint some trees with us. If paintball is your hobby, not your life, this is the group for you. Players float between the skirmish and scenario groups as circumstances change; that’s fine with us. Our skirmish players are invited to come to larger scenario events such as Fulda Gap but travel is optional.
We are realistic about expectations as well. Occasionally, other priorities and obligations come up and people can’t make every practice or meeting. This is understandable, we just ask that you let us know what is going on and we can work with it. Ultimately, we are friends in this sport to have a good time, play honorably, and be the best paintballers we can be.
Against Us (Existing Local Teams)
If you’re looking for local paintballers to test your team against we’re always game. We’re also open to joining up with local teams to attend scenario events as a larger force. Paintballers of Southwest Virginia unite!
Just get in touch via our forums or drop an email to S1TH, our team captain (captain@42ndlegion.com).
Looking forward to slinging some paint with you!
