RULESET: We'll play with the current Kill Team ruleset on open and close-quarters terrain. This is a beginner-friendly event, and the rules will be taught to any new and curious players. You can check out the basic rules ("Lite Rules") and the compendium from the Warhammer Community site: https://www.warhammer-community.com/kill-team-downloads/
We also hold monthly “Hobby Hangouts.” Bring your minis and your paints for these casual hangouts for miniature wargaming and modeling fans! Perfect for crushing your “to paint” pile!
We plan to hold more miniature wargaming events in the future, including but not limited to Games Workshop products. So, this would be a great event to attend (even if you’re not into Kill Team) so that we can talk as a community about what events we’d like to see on the schedule.

November’s selection is AKIRA Volume 1.
Join us at 6:30 for discussion of this manga classic that spawned the famous anime film.
We have copies of Akira Vol. 1 on sale for 20% off for Book Club Participants!
”Welcome to Neo-Tokyo, built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that leveled Tokyo. At the core of the agency’s motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear of an unthinkable, monstrous power known only as Akira.
Katsuhiro Otomo’s stunning science fiction masterpiece is considered by many to be the finest work of graphic fiction ever produced, and Otomo’s brilliant animated film version is regarded worldwide as a classic.”
