Bristol Big'Uns
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. Please bring with you any drinks or snacks that you require.

    Well spotted John.

    It's a bit like giving kids cheap drugs to get them hooked and facing a lifetime of addiction.

    Good offer though!

    I bought this although I'm not entirely sure why - possibly my first 40K purchase this century lol. I guess it is worth it for the paints alone.

    But comparing these very nicely detailed plastic figures against my c1989 terminators is interesting - Space Marines must be getting bigger these days. They are certainly taller than their 20th century companions !

    I'm certainly intending to get a couple of first editions. If only I  could find where they are on sale!!!

    I have picked up a copy for the paints -  if nothing else!

    My local McColls newsagent in Oldland Common has a few copies so if anyone is struggling to find a copy let me know and I'll try to pick up one for you to bring to the club.

    Hi John,

    Happy to assist. Subject to finding a game I should be at the club on Sunday evening so I will see you then. If I'm not able to get a game I will let you know and work out an alternative.

    Cheers

    Mike
