Aggesut Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Moved from Denmark a few years ago, and have sort of lost the opportunity to play with my friends, so, I've been scooting around the 'Gaming Clubs' forum a little bit to find some AoS gaming clubs, but I still find it quite hard to find anything concrete in/around Manchester - I've been in the local a few times, and NWGC/Element is about 15 minutes away, however, does anyone know of concrete Clubs where people actually play games on a weekly/sporadic basis; also if anyone actually frequents NWGC to play AoS, let me know as I didn't know that was a thing! I'm nowhere near new (played both 7th and 8th), but I haven't been playing much AoS, so I'm far from pro/competition ready, so just looking for somewhere to have a few casual and sporadic games once in a while. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello there. There are some Manchester based players on here and I am sure will drop into this thread. It suggests there is potential to form the nucleus of a club from members here I know element games is quite a hub (although not been myself), Manchester Arndale is always busy and some of the other local GW have AoS communities. I tend to play at GW Bury (north Manchester) but it is small so games are often prebooked making pick ups difficult there. But the Buty community is welcoming and strong with regular 40k and AoS players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 There is an AoS Skirmish event (don't know specific details) at the Bury store on Saturday, June 24. Could be a good opportunity to meet some local players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyB Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I've just moved to Colne, Manchester is a bit awkward until I can drive but keen to find some people to play AoS with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggesut Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Sounds good all around - Thanks for your input guys! I live in south but work in Bury, and it's not too bad going back and forth, so might give that a go at some point. For now I think I'll go visit the store in Stockport once in a while although their small tables seems to mostly be for show&tell, but of course there's the possibility for Skirmish now as well, which could be interesting!

WarbossKurgan Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 @Wailslake, Godfather Viktor, @Blessed Knight and I are Manchester based. We are planning an AoS Skirmish narrative campaign, to be played at Viktor's house, mostly at lunchtimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It seems like there is a number of us in and around Manchester, perhaps we should start a Manchester gamers FB page? Could be used to arrange games etc Ia not volunteering, I am not tech savvy like you young uns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praecautus Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Does not hurt to ask in addition there is a bury gamers and hobbyists FB page, obviously a north Manchester focus but you guys are welcome to ask to join. It is loosely affiliated with the Bury store so you may need to get your face known there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamThaBarbarian Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just joined that group. I definitely think an AOS focused group would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
