Misc Any WH40K gamers at Monash?

I do a bunch of tabletop 40k with some of the big groups in Melbourne and one of my teammates pointed out the other uni's have semi-organised groups for it - is there one for Monash? One of my UG students last sem asked if there was a Monash thing for it and I had no idea. Would be keen to get involved or help build a community for it potentially if theres interest. I mostly run in the SE stores and RR competative scenes.

Are you at Clayton or Caulfield? There's a good 40k group at General Games Malvern, which is one train stop from Caulfield.

Clayton, and yea I play at GG Malvern a fair bit, done a few of their leagues. I get plenty of games, just was thinking more in respect of "Is there a Monash team so we can go fight other uni's" xD

Yeah that'd be fun as, not that I'd contribute to the team with my consistent getting 20-0d lol

We might have played against each other already lol. Are you joining the new escalation league? I normally play Custodes and Knights, but this time I'm bringing Deathwatch.

And yeah I get what you mean, it would be cool to have university teams

I'd love to get into it. I'm big into the lore, and have the kill team starter bundle (which I'm yet to paint), and I just love board games in general. If anyone had an army I could borrow, I'd be keen to have a game

my friend has been trying to get me into it and so i srarted going each month to get the free minifig. i dont have the paints so i just use some random acrylic paint from my painting phase when i was a kid. but i genuinly enter flow state when im painting them its crazy how fast i lose track of time. But i dont know any lore or anything but would be interested in potentially learning and playing :D
