Warhammer Society?

Poll

Do you play any of the Games Workshop hobby games?

Hey,

I'm a particularly nerdy undergrad who's decided to not bother bringing my desktop (at least at first); so I'll be indulging in my other hobby; Warhammer (I was glad to see Reading does have a Games Workshop).

At any rate, I wanted to ask if there is a Warhammer Society at Reading... and, if not, is anyone interested in getting together to play some 40k when we all get there (though thanks to a rather... silly accomodation situation I won't be fully moved in for 2 weeks ;<)?

I used to play it when I was far too young to be bothered with rule books.

I still buy a miniature every now and then to paint and probably have a fair few armies worth of miniature in assorted boxes in the attic, but strictly speaking I don’t play.



Also i just quit the MMORPG a month or so ago...


I'm not a super-nerd i swuuur.

You'll be wanting to join the Games and Roleplay Society then (GARPS). Look for the people dressed in chainmail and/or as trolls at Freshers' Fayre...

:lolwut: so they're the cool kids then :p: I have before enjoyed making and painting the models before, but never intend to playing.

I tried it and didn't like it much....

I'm an old-school Hero Quest girl, lol.

I've got myself a wood elf from there to paint, though :smile:

Aaargh, just because I play Warhammer doesn't mean I don't find cosplay just as... shudderable... as anyone else :smile:

Aaaaanyway... I predominantly collect for the painting, but I'd still say people should give the tabletop a chance, for what it lacks in skill... well I still find it entertaining: And since it's all I am taking past books and DVDs for entertainment... well I'll be pretty bored methinks? :wink:

Damn Xboxes keep breaking on me...
