Aylesbury Warhammer 40K & AoS Group

Background

The Facebook group was formed in August 2021 by a small group of local 40K players looking for a new place to arrange games at each others homes, but quickly developed into a community that grew way beyond that.

Our goal is to be a central hub for all Games Workshop hobby/gaming related content for anyone living in and around Aylesbury.

Off the back of lockdown restrictions being lifted, there was a huge demand for us to create a regular meet-up and in November 2021 we secured an evening at a local community centre.
