Hi Guys,

I'm new to 40k and have picked up a few games in the local GW store. I'm still learning the ropes so this is more a request for a mentor/tolerant person or people that i can play against and learn from.

I'm hoping i can get in maybe 1 or 2 games a week mainly on week nights. I'm a soon to be 32 year old guy so i'd prefer it if i could play against people with a more mature outlook. Sorry if this offends anyone. Also i'm a tau player so i'm obviously a glutton for punishment.

On a final note. DOes anyone know of any clubs in the Croydon Area? do many people play outside of the games workshop? Sorry if these are daft questions but i havent really spoken to many people about the hobby so far.

Many Thanks,

Atonuts

I could try and get a train down to Croydon, though it's a bit far for me. I'm from the Sidcup area and tend to play in London Central/South East London. I love teaching 40k players and I be happy to help... though when 6th edition comes out, you've got to learn it all over again.

I sometimes go to Oxford Street Games Workshop, and although I'm not a great fan of Games Workshop, we can meet up there. But you're after a group, and I know three that can help you:

The first is South London Warlords in Dulwich Village, the closest and perhaps the biggest group around:

The secondary is South Eastern Warlords which I tend to go these days, located in Catford, which isn't too far from you either.

The last is the Cross Gaming Club located near London Bridge. It doesn't play much 40k (warmachine and malifaux etc) and is a bit noisy, bit it's a club.

I hope this helps, and hopefully we can play one day. I would prefer South Eastern Warlords since it's a place in between both of our positions, but it depends what works for you.
Oh, one last thing. Each club has a playing fee, usually £5. But most clubs tend to require payments.

Dropped you a pm mate. Thanks for the reply!
