You'll most likely require a band of like-minded individuals who have a spark of interest and hopefully, pictured image provides each player a satisfying faction to play. Starter set factions are limited for demo play only, should a new recruit appear?

Universities and colleges.

Hang out around 7-11s and tell young kids that you'd like to play a game with them out back.

universities and colleges? local cons? looking for group threads/resources?

remember that barnes and noble actually caries D&D stuff.

all of those have worked for me.

I'm not a D&D fag, I play wargames hence why I used the Ork picture

>talks shit about pen and paper games

At least pen and paper games have strategy and cost less money than your glorified plastic army men.

Have fun with the disaster that's 8th, you fucking twat. Hope you enjoy findom and being GW's sugar daddy.

I can see why you like pretending to be someone else now.

>>53447650
Unless there is a university or college in your town, it probably won't work. You usually need some place to meet up, socialize at, and recruit. Any wargaming group would be evermore difficult to do since you need so much more to play than a card game or ttrpg.

I don't see why you don't. Does pretending your hobby is about painting keep away the thoughts of suicide after you realize what an expensive waste of time, life, and money 40k is?

We have a village hall here perfect for like 10 tables. If I can find people to play with then we're gold. The nearest college and unis are all 30 minutes away and I'd like something closer than clubs there.

Put up a flier on message boards in town or in shops.

Get in touch with council staff to confirm use of venue.

Already in contact with the local staff, they think it's a great idea as it will give the local kids something to do and promote arts and crafts to them.

Not the two people arguing in the thread but wargames are more then GW and 40k these days, plenty of Osprey books are good along with Kings of War Infinity ect.

I hate GW and the games Age of Sigmar/ 40k is a giant money sink, however all hobbies cost money really.

You need:
- indoor location
- dudes and gals
- minis and/or cards
- food and drinks (optional)

Jeez man calm down.

Universities, colleges, your local library or rec center. Meetup.com. See if your city has a reddit, or facebook page, or some other community website and make a few posts there. Maybe even put up flyers.
If you're really desperate, and not a creep or weirdo, you might see if any local schools have wargaming clubs that you could be a mentor/chaperone for. A friend of mine actually got roped into doing something like that on a bi-weekly basis and he's been surprised by how much fun it he's had with it, plus it'll look good on a resume and give you something noble you can say about your hobby to impress people with.

Should've read the rest of the page. If you have a place set for it and they want to turn it into a communal all-ages thing, then definitely see about talking to schools. Maybe even email Games Workshop. No idea how they do community stuff, but they might have some advice, make some social media posts about it to give you a signal boost, or maybe even have some freebies to help establish a scene in your area.
