Hi guys I'm looking for some casual 40k games with my dark eldar army. I'm a friendly guy just want to have fun and learn the rules a bit better so if you're patient enough to help me learn I'd love to have a game with you, inbox me or post here if you know any clubs or private games local to me (Dartford Kent) thanks guys!

Good luck finding somewhere local.

Definitely worth checking out Dark Sphere, in Waterloo, it's pretty near the train station, with very vibrant Wednesday night sessions.

I played there once with my blood angels and I get all my stuff there because it's nice and cheap just a bit of a trek getting there is all

Just wondered if there was anywhere more local

Anyone know of anywhere more local than Waterloo?

So... does dartford sound for local enough?

Manufactured Conflict Wargames and RPG Group

Dartford Conservative Club
Dartford
Kent
Tuesdays 7pm - 11pm

Pretty much spot on what FURIOSO wants.

I don't visit that club commonly, but I go to the Bexley Reapers Wargamers

https://www.facebook.com/groups/193094553666/

Every Monday night - 7 pm till 11pm
Freemantle Hall, Bexley Village

Which is also local. I'm becoming a regularly here so if you want to book a game I can happily arrange a time, and can teach alongside if you prefer.
I have more london-based clubs if you're interested, but these two are your best bet. There's also a club in gravesend which I have not attended yet, which may be suited too.

I live five minutes walk from the conservative club! I would love some more details if that's okay also Bexley is nice and close too.

Well I'm not a regular anymore, but you can check the facebook link for further details. I believe its a closed group now, it use to be open so I suggest sending an invite to get in the group and easier to book a game. I've seen 40k and bloodbowl be played there, but I presume they have other specialist games and non-GW as well.

I need a game for next monday at Bexley Reapers if you are interested in playing, but Manufactured Conflict tuesdays are not busy for me, so I can't go

I am very new to the game and don't have a great grasp of the rules so yeah if you're patient enough I might be able to make it down.

Ok if you're defiantly going to be there next monday, I be there from 7.00, so meet me within the next hour (hopefully early), since you're new to the club your first time is free.
Let's start at 1000 points, I'm going to be bringing Necrons and we spend the day just taking our time learning the rules, and that should last the day

7 morning or evening?

Evening.

Well, I know two ways, depending on your time and payment. If you don't drive, you can take a:

Bus =
Take the 492 from Dartford, I know you can pick it up from outside the museum, apparently at 6:08 (be there by 6.00 to be safe). 40 minute ride through crayford, bexleyheath and passing through the edge of bexley village, where Freemantle Hall is (the club), though you need to know the right stop to get of at.

Train =
9 minute direct route. take the Gravesend to London Charing Cross, one arriving at Dartford Station at 6:18 or 6:48. Once you leave the station just keep walking down (one path) and turn right to you find the hall (it's pretty easy to spot)

I usually google maps my directions, and you can find the options here:
https://maps.google.co.uk/
Address "Freemantle Hall, Bexley High Street, Bexley"

As long as you arrive within the hour of 7.00-8.00 I wait, though earlier is better.

I have a fair knowledge of Bexley I can likely get a lift there I will let you know for certain tomorrow

I can't make tomorrow next monday I'm free however

You mean Monday 2nd right, not sunday?

Anyway I try and rebook something this week, and we can play next monday (9th), which I think is what you meant

Try out manufactured conflict this upcoming tuesday if you're free, Im sure you get a game without booking, but to be safe I suggest you sign up the group and book a game now

Ah I can likely make Monday do you want my mobile number in case you need to give me directions or something? I should make this Monday and the group hasn't accepted my request yet.

You can give me your number if you like, private message me it since you dont want to post in this thread. I rather not give out mine if I can, but your number is up to you.
But I need to make certain you will come this monday, before I change plans

Yeah I'll confirm Monday 6pm better for you?

The club doesn't start till 7.00, sometimes the doors don't open till then so best not to arrive earlier

Ah okay I haven't managed to book anything will that be okay and is there a fee for playing?

It just be us, so we wont have to book. You're new so its free, I either be charged or have it also free for teaching a new player, depending how they respond

I don't know why you didn't show up, I waited an extra 30 minutes after 8.00 to be certain, and you didn't leave a message here at all to make sure you couldn't make it by whatever reason

I've also double checked if you meant next monday, but you certainly said this monday, as the latest mentioning:

" I should make this Monday and the group hasn't accepted my request yet."

You have to find another teacher, I've helped you out this far, and you've let me down.

Yeah I'm in hospital at the moment with pericarditis so I won't be playing any time soon, sorry I didn't send you a message and for inconveniencing you I appreciate the effort you put in and I'm sorry to have let you down.

Hope you feel better soon - just to let you know there is also South East London Wargames Group (SELWG) in Catford (quite near Catford train station). We have a thriving WH40K and WHFB scene with lots of club terrain etc. We also play Warmahordes, WW2, Historicals and pretty much anything else. http://www.selwg.org

Or there is Gravesend Gamers Guild http://www.gravesendgamersguild.co.uk/

or Gravesend wargames club (not sure how much 40K they do though) http://www.gravesendwargamersclub.co.uk/

Regards.

Its ok. Pretty much any other message wouldn't have helped much, but this couldn't be avoided and I'm happy you still like to try again. We play when you feel better

I am sorry mate I hate letting people down I will hopefully be outof hhospital by Monday as long as my blood tests and scans are all okay

There's no rush. Seriously this was not to be expected. and just doubted for generally not coming. There was nothing you could do, I waited a day for a message but even then you couldn't due to the situation.
I'm cool with everything now, and will try to resort this out when you're ready. Again, no rush.

Thanks for being so understanding about all this again my apologies

I thought you might want to try again soon, being a new year and all. You feeling better?

Feeling much better thanks, just rebuilding the army from scratch is taking its time that and I seriously need to save up for a carry case for my battlefoam trays.
