Welcome to our forums. The Bristol Big'Uns are a group of people who enjoy fantasy, science fiction and historical wargames. We tend to play mostly table-top wargames but you will sometimes see CCGs, CMGs, RPGs or board games. If this sounds like a hobby you currently enjoy then why not come along. The club is based at Iron Acton, between Bristol and Yate, in the recently refurbished Parish Hall and is held Sunday evenings from 6 pm until 10 pm. There are tables and chairs available plus various sized scenic mats and terrain for table-top wargames. There is a 'tuck shop' happily providing crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks plus tea and coffee at a reasonable price.

Re: Yet a Further Edition of 40K
I've heard that "9th" is more likely to be "8.5", simplify things a bit, and it should work for small pointed games as well as normal sized ones. This could kill off Kill Team.
Feeling is a current Codex can still be used.
But I could be proved wrong.

Re: Yet a Further Edition of 40K
Not quite on-topic but for a small scale sci fi game that has a free rules download, can use literally any sci fi figures and will never need new codexes then StarBreach is getting a growing following:
