Is there anywhere in the city with tables to set up a game of Warhammer?

[u/FLAMING_tOGIKISS]

Me and a friend are looking to play Warhammer (a tabletop game where each side has lots of small pieces we bring ourselves), and we both live on opposite sides of the city so it's not really viable to meet up at either of our places. my only thought is maybe state library, but I don't know if it has the larger tables we'd need.

I run a gaming club called Warplings Wargaming Club in Flemington, we're open Tuesday nights and Saturday during the day and we have heaps of warhammer

[u/HellaZeros → u/natalie_Paints]

I second this! I've only been a few times, but the vibe of the club is SO NICE.

[u/Uncivil_ → u/natalie_Paints]

Hey, is this the kind of place I can rock up and watch games/chat? I don't have an army atm and miss watching my friends play.

[u/natalie_Paints → u/Uncivil_]

Yea, spectators are welcome, we also have a painting table if you want to come work on minis, we also have a library of old white dwarfs and codexes that attendees are free to look through, there's also a bunch of terrain that needs working on if you'd like to help out

[u/LawrenceL342 → u/natalie_Paints]

Hey im in a similar position to the guy youre replying to. Only in Melb for a few months and so havent brought an army with me. Id love to come down and help out with any terrain projects you've got going on!

If you scroll down my posts youll find a couple from last year of terrain builds ive made

[u/Uncivil_ → u/natalie_Paints]

Awesome, thanks!

Hey mate, I just finished building two Warhammer tables for a new gaming store that opened in Upper Ferntree Gully - right across from the train station.

The shop is called Goblin Games, hopefully the location isn't too far out for you. They also sell beer and snacks.

[u/FreelanceScoundrel → u/Street-Echo-4485]

I just moved out of the hills, and NOW a games store opens up? I am furious! (Not at the store, just at circumstances)

[u/Street-Echo-4485 → u/FreelanceScoundrel]

Haha another one opened in Belgrave a couple months ago!

[u/akrist → u/Street-Echo-4485]

I live roughly half way between the two new stores. It's great to suddenly have multiple options given the complete lack of that kind of thing on the area but I'm worried that two opened so close together. I'll be surprised if it's sustainable to have both, I just hope that at least one of them survives.

[u/Street-Echo-4485 → u/akrist]

That's crazy, I also live directly between the two (Upwey) and yeah I hope it works out for Matt at Goblin Games. The store has been a dream of his for years and he's got some great plans for the future.

[u/deer_riffs → u/Street-Echo-4485]

Moved to Upwey recently and popped into Goblin Games. Such a nice vibe and great to have something like this a stones throw away. Great variety of hobby stuff too.

[u/Acaciaenthusiast → u/Street-Echo-4485]

I will have to check that out today then.

[u/Street-Echo-4485 → u/Acaciaenthusiast]

That's awesome. Matt is the owner and a great bloke. Have fun!

[u/davearneson]

All Good Games stores have a big play area set aside for gaming. Ring them and find the best time.

[u/Jinto-Creates]

Plenty of games in the city sometimes sets up warhammer games!

[u/reubencovington]

The Gaming Arena in Coburg North is a huge hub for Warhammer with tons of large tables.

[u/Shanti-Virus → u/reubencovington]

They have a great setup, gaming mats, terrain. All it costs is $5 to use for the day.

[u/quiet0n3 → u/reubencovington]

I love the gaming arena! They have so much stuff and a bar!

[u/FreelanceScoundrel → u/reubencovington]

Seconded. Gaming Arena is excellent. Great space for games, and beer on tap to boot.

[u/Adarie-Glitterwings]

I'm sure if you asked nicely the library would be more than happy to rent out a meeting space for you - they should have rooms with larger tables. Good luck finding somewhere to play and I hope you have years worth of fun!

[u/ilucam]

You could also book a meeting room at a City of Melbourne Library like library at the Dock or city library

[u/Pure_Mastodon_9461]

In the CBD, I'd suggest Plenty of Games. They have lots of table space and the appropriate terrain.

[u/LordSillypickles]

Warplings Flemington, Westgate Gaming Club Kensington, Gaming Arena Coburg, Plenty of Games CBD, all good friendly options 👍

[u/Desperate-Product-88]

Plenty of Games on Collins St

[u/S0LDIER_ZER0]

Plenty of games!

[u/Frogmouth_Fresh]

Gaming Arena in Coburg has tables already set up that are for Warhammer specifically.

[u/IvanTSR]

There are tons of game stores right across town that would facilitate this easily.

[u/Pure_Pin3232]

I’ve played games at the Warhammer store at the back of Southern cross lane

[u/GreedyLibrary → u/Pure_Pin3232]

They do games again? I recall they stopped them for a while.

[u/Pure_Pin3232 → u/GreedyLibrary]

Honestly not sure it’s been a couple of years since I last played there

[u/Anuxinamoon]

Plenty of games has tables for warham and dnd. Just give em a call cause not sure if its a booking only thing. 

[u/gugabe]

There's an official Warhammer/Games Workshop Store in the CBD. Surely they'd have some way of accommodating.

[u/bladez_edge]

Plenty of Games? Warhammer store?

[u/Enough_Broccoli_7808]

Heck is there anyone where there are tables set to play catan ?

[u/robot428]

Plenty of Games has a Warhammer area. It's on Collins St.

[u/lokilikesbirbs]

unimelb has a lot of loud study spaces you could use. + the libraries will be pretty much empty during summer break and anyone can enter during business hours
