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

So... does dartford sound for local enough?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/177133852302869/

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
