Are you an avid Warhammer enthusiast and looking for like-interested people to play the game with?
Northern Sunrise County Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) director Amber Houle says they were approached by a youth resident asking if they would be willing to start a Warhammer group in the community.
“Warhammer Wednesday is a really neat idea,” says Houle.
“A youth in our community, in the village of Nampa, has been partaking in Warhammer. The youth approached us to help facilitate Warhammer Wednesdays and we will run twice more this month.”
Warhammer Wednesdays will be held on July 22 and July 29 at the Nampa FCSS office. Houle says it’s geared to youth 10 years and over and will provide a casual afternoon for anyone interested in building, painting, and playing in the Warhammer Universe.
“Interested participants can get the kits online or at The Store in Grimshaw or in Grande Prairie,” says Houle.
“It’s a tabletop game. We just think it’s really cool that it’s a youth-led initiative.”
Each Warhammer Wednesday will start at 1 p.m. and there will be light snacks and refreshments provided. It is free to attend.
“There are no kits available for purchase at the event, so people will have to buy beforehand,” says Houle. “We may look into bringing some in if there is a lot of people interested.”
Warhammer is a tabletop game that allows players to complete challenges, collect, build, and paint miniatures, and fight strategic tabletop battles.
