MakoBoy88 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Gang. Myself and a few friends who have only been into 30k for a few months are looking to play other people than just ourselves. We live in the South of the U.K. And locally, people are so lazy. People in Australia for Eye of Horus seem to travel for days to attend a two day event, but locally people don't seem to want to drive half hour. So, we want to travel the UK for other events, hopefully narrative campaigns and story driven events with the right attitude. We are attending Throne of Skulls in July as we happened to be there during the Throne in January and there were some solid guys and great armies. So, are there any events you know of? Can we come?? Haha. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319373-events-in-the-uk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hengist Ironfang Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 There is a bit of a growing community in Devon, nothing is happening yet but more and more people seem to be jumping on the bandwagon so I reckon events and campaign days wont be far off.

Emperors Teeth Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I know a couple guys around Dover who fairly readily drive up to WHW for events. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CrusadeandHeresy/ They're on this group; There's also a map stickied at the top where people log their location to create a Heresy Atlas. You should go check it out. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319373-events-in-the-uk/#findComment-4310237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthamal Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The Imperial Truth podcast will be running a Heresy campaign weekend, likely in August and probably in Cardiff (last year's was and I believe the intention is to do the same again this year) so keep an eye out for that :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319373-events-in-the-uk/#findComment-4310260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinel Guy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 There's a growing community in Taunton and Bridgwater if you are near Somerset. We're just getting starter with a tale of 4 gamers featuring the Horus Heresy. http://insanegentlemensclub.com/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319373-events-in-the-uk/#findComment-4310277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay170788 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I feel your pain, I am in East Anglia and know very few people to game with. Shame really as HH seems a great game if only I could get a few games under my belt.

Balthamal Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Again, perfect. Thanks mate. Are they worth listening to? Yeah it's very good, the best 30k centric podcast that I've found at the very least Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319373-events-in-the-uk/#findComment-4310310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChildofFang Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm not sure how much is laziness and how much is trying to justify the time and cost of attending events. I live in the south east of England and travelling anywhere around the M25 is a pain plus I have to balance my work time. A lot of people don't just work Monday to Friday. I have looked at running events in the south and there just aren't many suitable venues that don't already have events organised. Those suitable venues tend to be completely ridiculously priced, this is why I rub my events in Cardiff which involves a 4 hour drive and taking days off work. Looking towards 2017 there are going to be more options, we have a growing understanding and uptake of the Heresy which I think will result in more events. I'm looking to hook up with other groups to get some going. At the end of the day though I always fall back to Ghandi's quote - 'be the change you want to see'. Combine that with field of dreams / Wayne's world 2 'book them and they will come' and what can go wrong? :) By the way I'm Greg from the imperial truth podcast and I think that if you listen and enjoy then you will really like it but just as easily you will not be able to stand us. You can listen to episode 027 where we talk about our first event.

ChildofFang Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Dude I game in tunbridge wells and live between the 2 towns. We are doing a campaign thing at our club. Terrain becomes the issue for events. I'll pm you my email to discuss more.

Ishagu Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Just need to paint a few more units and my army will be all ready. I'm keen to get a bunch of 30k games under my belt, I've only played a few. I'm lucky that there's a WE player who goes to my local. When I play him I'll take some pics Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319373-events-in-the-uk/#findComment-4310595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakoBoy88 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Well I have played a few. And a local Word Bearer player who started with me has played a few. We have a new Night Lords and Raven Guard players and a few non commit guys. Iv also today just started and ordered my Fists. So it's prime. We all have a thirst for events driven by narrative and the right attitudes rather than Throne of Skulls type events. But we ARE going to that in July. Maybe come meet us for that??
