If you are looking for a game of 40K, you can go down there on Wed evening. The gaming session takes place every week.

It usually starts from 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm. (Or even till midnight if the store owner feels like opening up the store that long!) In terms of number of people, I can say that there will always be someone there who can give you a game or two. The number varies from time to time. In some weeks, there are few. Sometimes, there are about 10+ people! (I saw 8 players doing a huge apocalypse team battle 2 weeks ago even though I didn't have a chance to see it till the end.)

Regardless though, I can ensure you that you would definitely find some players there. Long story short, I tried to set up a 40K gaming group within CBD area last year. (Which eventually sort of turned into a club by the name "MCG". We were even given a forum here on WAU. Click Here)

Things turned out well with growing number of players in the group. Later on, I stumbled upon Battle Bunker and had long talk with Viv (the store owner). This resulted in a group of 40k players playing there due to good facility for wargaming.

=======================================

OK, enough talk. Now, how to get there with public transport?

You can catch a tram route 86 and drop off at the stop number 33.

Alternatively, by train, get on Epping line and get off at Northcote Station.

It takes about half an hour to get there. Anywho, I'll see you sometimes. (If I am not too busy with my Uni study and decided to pop up to see how things go with the group.)

There are often people playing something on saturdays (which is also painting day) and we're trying to do skirmish games semi-regularly on sundays.

There are also generally Warhammer Fantasy games on Thursday nights - it depends on what kind of game you're looking for smile.gif

Skirmish Sundays will generally involve a few different games, although today's one focussed on Pulp City.

Painting day you say I might pop in sat and see how I go for a game. If no one is there i guess I can paint. do you need to bring paints/ brushes etc?

If your keen for some fantasy at BB we are trying to get more people down on thursday nights. If you check out the battle bunker forums ( http://forum.battlebunker.com/) there's a section for gaming nights where people post if their heading down sometimes (or you could say your looking for a game on those forums as alot of the BB members don't hang around here on wargamer). I'm usually trying to be there most thursdays with one of my armies.

If you have your own brushes and paints, you can bring them ... although we have paints and brushes you can use also. We'll even undercoat your miniatures .. not a whole army, but a few to paint on the day. Usually starts around 1-2ish till 'whenever' ... ages vary from kids to 50's
