Hello, Dakkaites, I am starting a club in my local Highschool, and I have all I need to begin, except I am confused as to how to run this thing. I am thinking of making it based on A Tale of Four Gamers, except there will be six of us. I think the first session would be about learning about the different races, then players select which army they will have. I already have one person wanting to play skaven, and I would like to play Empire, I just want to know how I get everyone into this, without giving them too much?

What do you mean by giving them too much?

If everyone is starting out, I have found that an escalation campaign can be quite fun. Depending on people's budgets start with a single hero, then a hero and a core etc. expanding a little bit each month. Set bonus points for if they have the models painted and try to keep point values similar. While it is not a great representation of how the game actually plays it is a great way to keep excitement up while collecting an army, and does not require a large cash expenditure from the beginning

Thank you, I will use this info to

RULE THE WORLD...

... Of Warhammer clubs

A fun and easy way to introduce people into the hobby is a “warbands” league. The maximum point limit is 500 for each army, so it is not to expensive to get into hobby, nor is it over whelming to paint such a small force. After the league, then you will have a very nice starting force to expand as you see fit and within your play style.

Could you please tell me more about Warbands please? I have heard alot, but the GW website's articles don't work for me since I had a registration code ERROR and now GW, Wikipedia, some Yahoo sites, and some google sites.
