HI, been lurking on the forums for a while, saying hi now given I have part of my fleet painted, also if this is actually meant more for General Discussion sorry for putting it here.
But onto the subject, Looking for games of BFG in London, northwest for preference. Currently playing at Dark Sphere (going to tonight in fact) but it is kind of a trek to get there and home again, so if a club has an active BFG section going in spitting distance of Harrow let me know, or if anyone wants to massacre me can arrange for a table at Dark Sphere.
Regards
-
Welcome!
-
Thanks, pity you are in America though, bit far for a game
-
Agreed, though I would love to go to London again.
-
Check for players at Warhammer World?
Maybe look for other specialist games leagues, like Blood Bowl, Epic or Necromunda and ask around.
-
Hey Dieithryn, I live in central London (Clerkenwell) and pop into Dark Sphere when I can. I've only played a few games of BFG recently, but my old housemate and I want to get some more games in, work allowing. Afraid that's not much help to you out in Harrow though!
-
@ Gothmog, I'm definitely checking around places, but this forum seems pretty active for BFG so started here, but checking with the other games systems is a good plan, hadn't thought of that.
@Gorlak, Good to know, currently there seems to be three of us at Dark Sphere that are getting into regularly, in fact we have just gotten to grip with most of the rules now so we are, *shock and horror* adding in some terrain for the next game ^_^ Wednesdays at 7 pm if you want to stop by.
@Afterimagedan, if you are ever in London, will happily play you, and after looking through your blog totally trying out your Tyranid fleet idea, looked so cool!
-
I live in London and am just putting together a couple of BFG fleets - kicking myself for not buying earlier before they went and pulled the plug on production, now its costing me an arm and a leg...
Will probably be ready for a game in a few months - still plenty to paint! I live in Mile End so not too bad to get to Waterloo (I work in Westminster so close on a weds night as well).
(first post!)
-
Awesome to hear from another BFG player in london, personally I don't mind playing against unpainted fleets if it gets me a game or two :D
-
My partner lives in London and I am often down either to visit him or for conferences.
I am more than willing to lug a fleet or two down with me for a game!
-
I'm down in the South West, but I'd be happy to give a shout next time I'm passing through!
-
I think the ultimate nerd trip would be to set up something like a BFG mega-game at Warhammer World, with Dan and I (and whoever else can) making our way across the pond for it. We get it all arranged on here since we're the most numerous, and go from there. Doesn't matter painted or not, everyone just comes with 1500 points and we make teams and have a mighty larf.
Not anytime soon though, because I'm broke as hell. :D
-
sounds like a plan, cant remember what gw policy is on specialist games at warhammer world is though?
i have heard its frowned upon in regular stores?
might be fun to get some big games in as well, possible team play?
-
I've been very poor in replying to this thread, and generally getting games in at Darksphere. I still live in central (Clerkenwell) and work in Shoreditch, but I try to pop into Darksphere whenever I can. I've been bringing my fleets up to scratch and picked up quite a bit (never enough...) during the 'end-times' at GW, so would love to get some ships onto tables. Hell, it would be great to meet up with others interested in BFG! ;) My old housemate, who lives in Ealing now, plays Tau as well.
I'm am still working on the combined BFG & FAQ2010 rulebook document as well, which sadly was on hiatus during the crazy work months over the summer. Its always good to discuss such projects over a pint too!
I'd definitely be up for a game to represent up at Warhammer World, particularly if its an international meet up!
I've gone up for Gamesday last year and the Weekenders were great fun too. Gaming with Specialist stuff is certainly frowned on in the stores I've asked, essentially saying you can play those games during the day weekdays only, which rules it out for anyone with a job... I understand that Warhammer World is quite different though and is happy to house such games.
-
Nice to hear some enthusiasm from london based players!
We should arrange a meet-up at Dark Sphere. I'm free next week but my fleets are still very much WIP. After that I'm on holiday and have some crazy work weeks coming up but should be good for mid/later september?
Whats generally used - the original rules +Armada or the 2010 FAQ, or BFG:R?
-
I'm south east London, Lewisham, no help I know but someone from NE and we have every angle covered :p
-
Whoops, let things slip a little on here as started getting some games in of BFG more regularly at Dark Sphere. either way, have a 1000 point game Wednesday afternoon, so if anyone is coming down for the regular 40k night I'll hijack a table and keep the Gothic games rolling.

I didn't realized this topic was so active and international ::) so I will give this promise,
Seahawk, if you organice a mega game at warhammer world and you invite me with enough time I promise I will take with me enough of my tyranids to be one size of the megabattle. :P
Promesa de honor :D
-
never been to Warhammer World so this would be a grand excuse to visit and pl;ay some Gothic
-
I'm going to be in Wednesday next week, would it be possible to get a bfg game at darksphere? I have both an imperial and a chaos fleet, can do at least 1000 with each, proberbly 1500ts.
-
I have a game arranged already for tomorrow night, but if you have two fleets and get in touch over the dark sphere facebook group you might be able to tempt someone into a game or the guy who runs the night might have some time to play
-
Not tomorrow night, the week after :P
How are people with the likes of Exorcist class grand cruisers and bastion fleet lists if I have them neccisary bits printed out?
-
whoops, missed that bit
right now there is myself with imperials, a tyrinid fleet and a space marine fleet, one of the staff has imperials, chaos and necrons, and none of us would mind
plus some talk about starting a league/campaign
-
Nice, what sized games are played?
-
currently 1500 though that might change as its taking a few hours to get through ^_^ but most of us are rusty with the rules which doesn't help much
-
The space marine player is up for a game on Wednesday, just needs some confirmation off of you that your free otherwise he is coming down for some 40k
-
Indeed, what sort of time are bfg games played? Also, should I bring 1500pts of imperials or chaos?
-
technically the gaming center opens at 7 pm, but if you book through Facebook you can start around 5.
space marine player got into a 40k game, so I am asking around to see if any one is interested, if you can bring both fleets might able to snag some one :D
https://www.facebook.com/groups/307204116035548/
that is the face book group 40k universe players use so at dark sphere so might be able to snag some one, pictures of fleets a bonus as tends to get peoples attention
-
Cool, asked to join it and will post a pic of my Apocalypse battleship.
-
One of the store staff said they would give you a game, watch out though as necrons can suddenly appear when he plays 0_o
-
That would be interesting, the only forces I've faced have been tau, chaos, gothic eldar and imperial (when using chaos). I'm going to be in london doing research from the morning, so should I am to get there for 6-7?
-
About then would be good, closer to 7 then to 6, there is a good restaurant by Lambeth North if you need to kill time and get some dinner, Hikari is the name
-
Will be in london again this Wednesday, anyone fancy a game? :P
Out of interest, if me and a mate wanted to use the tables, is there a time limit or time they cannot be used on certain days?
-
Anyone have necrons or tyranids? Never played them and they look interesting.
-
Hi There!
I've been starting up small games of BFG at my local club (top floor of pub in Clapham - a mixed friendly WBF 40k club).
I'm still new to BFG and have small Chaos and Imp fleets (incl shapeways ordinance, star fabric table and other stuff) - You fancy it? We usually meet on Monday or Tuesday of the week after work.
-
I wouldn't mind a game - have been dipping my toe back into BFG and managed to get about 1000pts each of chaos and imperials just about done.
When's your next club game?
-
Hi Samulus,
I include a link to the next session here http://www.meetup.com/The-London-Warhammer-Gaming-Guild/events/188328532/
The club is still reasonably new (maybe a year old?) with a very varies mix of war gaming experience, though a very friendly atmosphere. Next week I have promised a member an intro game - though if you are free to hang on or come later, we may be able to fit in afterwards. The week after (probably July 7th) is free currently.
I actually only have about 500pts ish of both imp and chaos (though exploring Dark Eldar now as well...converted skyboard fleet thing). I might be able to build up the imp a bit by then a bit (I have 5 unmade cobras out of 3 made + 2 cruisers) - If you'd fancy a bigger game, perhaps I could time charter some of your vessels?
Which rules do you like to play?
-
Actually, thinking about it, could we work towards July 7th or after as rushed games never feel as fun to me. Let me know if this set-up appeals.
-
So turns out the Dark Sphere store was about 20mins walk from where I used to live in London. Bugger, living in Cambridge again means that's a fair old trek!
-
Wallofmeat - I've PM'd you.
-
Well noted - I wonder how many BFG players there actually are floating in and around the capital?
-
I'm a floating around. Where is your Clapham pub Wallofmeat? I suspect that come winter time playing my brother will get a bit dull....
-
I have PM'd you!
-
Hi guys
new to bfg and just found this thread I am in Bow e3 good to see quite a few people in London playing bfg
-
Hi edgar1st@aol.com - I sent you an email.
I'm soon to start a major push to co-ordinate what remaining interest there might be floating around the capital (pun level: yes). It'd be lovely to take pictures and do some batreps at club games.
-
Hey, built myself a tyranid fleet 6 years ago and played exactly one game since...
Thought I'd never get the chance to use it again so I'd love the opportunity to have a game or two. I live 10 mins away from Darksphere.
-
Huh, no kidding - we actually do our end of month WFB/40K games at Dark Sphere -good crowd there. Well I'll PM you details. Would love to see what playing nids is like.
-
Oh and Edgar@ - I tried PM'ing you about arrangements but your inbox is full. If its ok to post this - I'm organising some of the details in a Dakka thread as well (catching BFG players apparently requires a wide net).
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/630894.page
-
Thanks
cleared in box so should be ok now
-
Just thought I'd let you guys know about a small tournament I'm organising in South London for March 2015.
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=7002.0
-
Pics can be found here - if you wanna look at what happened at the tournament - Tyranids won in the end. But is was mostly a fun/silly day of blowing up spaceships http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/635032.page
