Whos in China and wants to play? ha.

Seriously.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Ok I know I am not in China,and I don't know where you live in China but the WD lists these as the GW stores in China,so perhaps you could find a game at one of them.

Beijing,Maelstrom.

Shanghai,Zark.

Shanghai,Zhanchui store.

Hope that helps a bit.

**kanelom**

Beijings store is the closest but i cant find it on the intawebz.. I know Zhanchui is Warhammer in Chinese.. and its been where i've been getting my stuff from. Over their version of Ebay? its alright, if they dont have it they can order it. oonly problem being it could be 2 months if they dont have it for it to arrive. they get direct from UK, so just cause lil ol me wants a particular doohickey they're not gonna rush their order dates.
That aside im just trying to find gamers or other foreigners in China who are keen.

I'm moving to Linyi soon, you guys know of anyone near there who play?

**hemingway**

I'm in Beijing atm but only for another couple weeks. The only place so far I've found that has GW stuff is the Xinhua bookstore downtown, and it appears to be mostly box sets and paint sets--no individual blisters or a game store to speak of. If I can find the Maelstrom store here, I'll put up the address. Sadly, I only brought a few GK to paint while I'm here in my spare time, otherwise I'd be happy to play a game with another lao wai.

I'm part of a permanent gaming group in Shanghai. A few expats and a lot of Chinese players. Best guess is about 40 players total. If you are ever in Shanghai give us a heads up and we can arrange some games.

If you can find some information on Zarks online or just PM me that's where we usually hang out.

**Deus_Morte**

Cool, do you know if there's a bullet train between Linyi and Shanghi? I'm gonna be working mon-fri but I'm wondering how possible i'd be to get down to shanghi on the weekends

**Lukus83**

No idea about the train schedule. Did a quick search and it doesn't look like there is anything direct so I'm guessing you would have to go to Beijing first...and from there I'm pretty certain you can get a bullet train. Not sure on times though.

Had another quick look and apparently it's approximately a 10 hour trip from Beijing to Shanghai. That kinda sucks.

**Deus_Morte**

I'm going to be living and workin in Linyi, not Beijing

**Lukus83**

Yes but I was looking at the train timetables and there is nothing direct...I would suggest going to Beijing then changing to a bullet train direct from there to Shanghai. Of course that is a lot of hassle for a 40k game.

Best bet would be to move to Shanghai, lol.

Other options would to be finding wargaming closer to where you are though I think it's pretty much dedicated to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing if you want play in China.

Oh and the Zhanchui store address seems to be on google:

Shuangyushu 1st Street
Haidian, Beijing, China

Hope this helps.

**Deus_Morte**

do they have a web address where I could go to order stuff?

what are the prices like over there?

**Lukus83**

Unfortunately I didn't find a website, but I know some people who might know it if they have one. Not sure on prices...I get my stuff from Zarks. A bit expensive, but it's all to keep my FLGS going.

if you are close to shanghai then a bus ride is the answer....

**Kid_Kyoto**

I left Beijing a year and a half back but I put the 3 stores I know of into the Dakka store finder.

Warhammer Club Beijing was my home store but it looks like their site is down.

I ahve this email for them

warhammer.beijing@gmail.com

**kanelom**

Maelstrom is the cheapest way to get Warhammer in China, otherwise you can try Taobao.com, its a Chinese ebay. We've got a bunch of 40k players in HeiLongJiang

**Deus_Morte**

kewl, thanks for the info

**Deus_Morte**

does anyone have the contact info for either of the shanghai stores?

**Kid_Kyoto**

Funnily enough the store finder does:

**Lukus83**

If you have any trouble locating the store (only the owner speaks English and he's not always there) then send me a PM and I can help you out if needed.

**Deus_Morte**

K. Thanks. Do you live in Shanghai Lukus?

**Lukus83**

Yes

**Deus_Morte**

sweet, maybe we can meet up somtime. Im planin on trying to get over there in the next few months, probably near the end of june

**Lukus83**

Sounds good. Like I said we have a cool gaming group so just PM me when things are closer to the date so we can arrange it.

**TomM**

Are any of you guys still in or around Shanghai? I'm in Wuxi and I'm looking for a game. If you fancy a game or know any clubs send me a PM. Cheers
