Well I'm looking at getting started on either eldar or Blood Angels myself. Might just have ourselves a clash of the marines!

Hah well from reading some of these forums, you could be fooled into thinking that's what 90% of the games out there are! I certainly hope not!
I have a load of the old metal Harlequins, so I don't know, maybe I could get a teeny tiny force of them together, although I probably don't have enough. I've also got a load of chaos stuff from when I collected as a kid.

What are you leaning towards more- Eldar or BA?

Hey! me and 2 of my mates would be right up for this, we live near Greenwich, im based in lewisham.

PM me dude

Gotta be Eldar...though I want a new codex! I don't even know how to play but I can tell it's not as up to date as others

3 armies current, 4th soon.

Two of the armies I managed to get good deals on models so I wanted to stop at 2. Don't regret it since

1st army: Orks, mix of very old and newly painted models and don't have a specific colour scheme.

2nd army: Imperial Guard. I tend to call the yellow/grey colour scheme "unique" as I've seen no one match it yet. Mixed infantry and tanks

3rd army: Necrons. Up to about 3000points worth. Black/Yellow/White scheme.

4th to come: Tyranids

I don't tend to buy the same unit though unless it's needed. I like variety and using units they don't get use. I play for fluff, never for competitions.
so no 9 killer kans/multipe hydras and 12+ destroyers annoyance

It's a joke.

Hey guys, been talking with Shoggoth about this but it would be a good idea if we could arrange a meet up day to just get to know each other, hang out, and see how many members we are actually looking it.

I propose a meet up in greenwich around/on the 4th of next month (August). Everyone else up for this?

Thought I might make things a little more interesting by posting a few pics:

Here we have the area that we will be using to start...looks cozy enough right?


Comes complete with kitchen area. For the first meet up at the club there will be cake (thank my girlfriend).


Potential storage place - en suite!


The larger hall next door that we can expand into if need be and funds permit.


The makings of some terrain - prob hills etc.

Hm... seems that didn't work. Here are the links in order:

Seems great. Thursday is usually my gaming night anyway. We will be setting up games on the meet up to see what's missing too?
Also are there any other group ideas other than facebook? I've never liked facebook; though will deal with it if there isn't a better option.
Start piling up a list of names and what they play (previous comments)

Ah, I'm right there with you mate. I hate Facebook too, but its a means to an end i'm afraid. Unless I get everones name and number to text/phone.
I was thinking we could meet for a quick drink or something for the meet up so that i know how many people to expect. I can then book the hall for the week after and away we go.

ONLY ADD ME if you are looking to attend this club Lol.

the 4th of august is my birthday! woot woot.

Have to say this sounds quite interesting, been in and out of the hobby for a while and am looking for some people to have some games with, would have to be gentle with me though as i've only played a couple of games in the last couple of years :(

only problem for me though is distance, :( will take me bout an hour to get there, unless im coming from uni, which means might not turn up that often, what day/time were you thinking of setting this all up for?

Every Thursday from 6/7o'clock to 8/9 o'clock initially, but this can be flexible to allow for the most amount of people to join.

Shall I add you to the list?

The Facebook is up:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/149442698467292?ap=1 or search Greenwich Gamers 40k Club

I'm living near Greenwich, but am not a 40K player. IF you guys get some WFB going, or historical games then I'd be well up for turning up ocassionally.

Well i only have warmachine/hordes at the moment and looks like i'm the only one so unless there are others there doesn't seem to be much point.
I am intending to get back into 40k but will be a while before i get an army together so if your still going then i will def be coming along.

Good luck

I live fairly close by, and have been in the mind to start looking for a local club to play at, so I'll have a word with my gaming mates and see what they think about coming down to play. just to check, this is the church near the A2 right?

It is indeed! How many friends are we looking at?
I'm just trying to get everything together at the mo, looking at buying some boards to make tabletops etc.

Drop me a PM, facebook comment or msn address any time

PM on the way

Thanks . Good luck with Warmachine/hordes. If we ever play/get members that do i'll definitely let you know.

Quick update guys - I now have the basic gaming boards, they are 4' x 2' so can be combined to 4' x 4' or 4' x 6' etc. I just need some help with terrain if possible. I'm seeing if i can get my hands on some foam boards to make into terrain as anything else really is a pain to work with. I'll keep you all updated though.

I'm gunna make (well my girlfriend is) some little shop ads that i will put in the two places i know have connections to wargaming in greenwich to see if we cant get more people together.

I was talking to BlackGaze last night on msn/windows live and I realised that msn might be a good way to keep some of you informed. If you have msn feel free to add me at yemstar3@hotmail.com

Lastly, i think its best that instead of a little meet up on the 4th august, we just wait until we have everything sorted and ready to go. Therefore, the first meet up will be at the chuch hall so bring your models .

I think that's it for now unless I missed anything...

Sounds good

I'm going to take a trip to the local art shop near me and see if I can muster up some foamcard to make some ruins and maybe a bunker or two. also going to make some hills and rocky outcrops

how many tables are we hoping to fill?

AWESOME! We have 15 4' x 2' boards so .....at the moment that makes 7 - 4' x 4' tables, enough for 14 people.
I have a few bits here to make into terrain but I have no foam board yet. Does this art shop have a website?

not that I know of, it's a little one near the cinema in Bromley

there is always Hobbycraft, there is one in Crayford and one in Croydon

So is the meet up this Thursday going to include some test games?
3 hours is a bit short of time for a weekly gaming club, but it be fine for the first week in preparation. Eventually we will need to extend it to 5 hours average.

Do we meet up at 6.00 (Earliest) at Sunfield Church this Thursday? Are you able to book the church then and every week onwards?
If you could give the address and possible a map (googlemaps?) for the location for people to find it easier, that would help a lot.
Do we also pay for this first week? Or not until things are smoothly working?

Also I might be buying a piece of terrain, nothing big but I won't be able to contribute much terrain right now, so it help for the meantime. Doubtfully for this week though.

Guys, maybe I didn't explain too well. What i meant was:
WE WILL NOT BE MEETING ON THE 4th! I still need a little time to get the boards ready etc. But we will definitely be good to go by mid/end of August at the latest (most likely the 11th).

Sorry....but this will let people get their armies ready, give me time to get the terrain sorted (I still can't find any damned foam!) and see how many people are actually coming.

I will be happy to book the hall as long as I know enough people will be coming to cover the cost, that works out at a minimum of 6 people at £5 to cover the £30 cost.
I can see what I can do about not paying for the first time but if I am paying out of my own money I obv need to get some of the money back .

I will be there on the 11th/18th for sure, 1k points of Ultramarines in tow

Ok that's good. I need more time to finish my Necron army... though it's more likely I will use my Imperial Guard first

and NO, they won't consist of mass meltagun chimera veterans

what kind of foam are you after?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
just finished my first bit of terrain for the club, some chain link fences, each one is about 8-9" long



hopefully should be able to make at least another 6 lengths with the material I have

what do you guys think?

Good lord Cy! I'm almost embarrassed to link this now, but i finally managed to get my hands on some foam so some rocks/hill terrain is incoming. And I have plastic for fences a bit like yours!


The boards are still looking plain, but i'll get cracking with those soon.

I might be able to pick up a copy of "Games Workshop's How to make Wargames Terrain" from someone

I don't have the time, materials or skills (even with a guide) to make terrain, but would Bacon or Cyber be interested in having it?
I also have some White Dwarfs back from the 3rd 40k edition era that has some handy tips to making good terrain (even some nice Mordheim buildings), would you like some photocopies for the day?

Also I try and buy some pieces if I can see my eye on them without going crazy on spending.
