http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net over the passed year i have been looking to start playing after finding my old vampire counts models from when i was younger and a splattering of others from around 15 years ago and some more recent additions.
One of the main things holding me back from flying into it and starting up a fresh collection that I'll be wanting to play with is the remoteness of my location and the apparent lack of local players.

so i was wondering what are good ways to make contact with others who play the game in remote areas ?

Welcome to Dakka ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7388975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7388975.page GMT As for finding players, Dakka has a nice player finder app http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/player_finder.jsp

other than that, just put it out there that you play and people will either say the same thing or not. best of luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7395851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7395851.page GMT
There are also programs like vassal that allow you to play 40k over the internet. I have no idea how to use it myself but its an option even if you miss out on the specticle of the game. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7396170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7396170.page GMT MTG. It is a good place to start asking around. Even ask the shop owner if they know anyone, because we are an addicted bunch and have probably asked them to carry models .

I had a look at the player finder but there appears to be no one around me, the closest GW i know of is over a hours drive away, from memory there is a modelling store around the same distance away that sells a variety of things and host games/advertises for advents.
Need to get myself a working car so i can start haunting places and make some contacts.

the building of scenery has been growing on me as something to fly into and see how i go as well as conversions after reading tutorials and looking around at various things, start small and try get some skills up then take on something large and ambitious seems a solid plan for next winter when i'm cooped up going stir crazy
I realized after posting this there is a sales section on here which answered most my other questions too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7399607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/624894/7399607.page GMT
