Hi there,

I'll be moving down to Staines in greater London at the end of September to start my new job, and wondered if there are any like-minded hobbyists in the area?

I'm looking to get back into gaming, and am primarily a painter, anyone down there?

Expanding this to anywhere in this rough area of London within a sensible drive/train journey?

Gonna be going to Royal Holloway Uni this September, so Il be pretty close. I intend to study the art of 40k as well as Geology as I am just a painter too. Maybe we could sort somthing out in the future?

Wow, sorry about the huuuge delay in reply on my part, been sorting out lots of my job stuff out, flat hunting is a pain too...

I studied Geology at undergrad and Palaeontology at MSc level finishing this year! What do you paint / collect?

I recently made a start on some Nids, I.e I have lots of unpainted metal and plastic, and one finished Tyrant. Im not sure how much of that is getting done any time soon as ever since Ive got here all I can really find time for is late night drinking, the suddenly huge abundance of females and sleeping during the day. Maybe when I get some sort of routine better established Il have a crack at em, and I will be in the area for a good few years so there will be ample time for meetups, just not very soon.

On a side note, Palaeontology is very definitely my favourite part of the subject, although im interested by pretty much all of it.

At the risk of performing threadnomancy, I'm seriously looking for gamers in Staines. I considered starting my own thread but I figured I would reduce my chances rather than consolidate here.

I live walking distance from Staines train station (not the town center side) and I have my own DIY table to play on as well as a small amount of scenery etc.

Please PM me or contact me via my blog (I think the link is in my sig or profile).

I live in Ascot not far from Staines...I used to work for GW many years ago.....just getting back into the hobby and learning the rules (i have the basics)

I have (all latest models) Blood Angels, Necrons, Orks and Imperial Guard around 4-5K points of each army (actually looking at getting rid of the Orks and Imp Guard)

In fantasy I have (all latest models) Skaven and Tomb Kings around the 4k points value on each and the beginings (1.2K pts) of an Empire army

Forgot to add, I'm a 40k player.
I'm mainly about Orks at the moment, but I have a small growing Space Marine force.
Saying that, I may be interested in additional Orks or Imp Guard stuff.

Personally, I'm looking to step up my gaming practice too so taking it easy with beginners with some casual games is what I'm lookign for.
