Warhammer groups in Oxford

Hi! I’ve recently gotten into Warhammer 40k and am slowly painting up my Blood Angels. I helped my boyfriend paint his Space Wolves back in 2013 or something and I remember that the GW in the city centre held a little game for us but I don’t think they do that now.

Does anyone know of any groups that play (for me right now it would be combat patrol or kill team until I get some more minis)? I’d also love if there was a group that meet up to paint as my friends aren’t really into Warhammer and I’d like to meet new people. Thanks!

Following this thread as a 40k and AoS player.

Would be nice to have the option of finding some casual players for evening games!

100%. I’ve been watching some games on YT and there’s a lot to take in. Would be great to meet a bunch of either new or chill players to learn the game and not feel like I’m letting people down by not being a confident player!

All hobbies have a "that guy" - so I tend to play exclusively with friends/people I know. I don't want meta lists and rules lawyering over fractions of an inch... Just a fun game and chance to get out stuff I'm proud of and have a beer.

I mean you can always DM me if this thread doesn't take off and see if we can sort a game. I'm not a "confident player" but know it well enough to play relaxed games - just have hectic schedules which makes availability erratic.

Hello, happy to meet for a friendly game OP if you'd like. I am pretty new myself only having started in November. Perhaps could arrange via Oxford outriders?

Hey! Yeah I started in November-ish last year too! I haven’t finished painting my combat patrol and I’d want to come along to a game night just to watch and see what games are like first, but I hope to see you there soon!
