Well i started many hobbies in my comunity-City, because venezuela is pretty slow for this games.

I started with heroclix, Mage knight, then Star wars minis, D&D minis, now warhammer fantasy and well here is a community for 40k already.

Well if you want people into the game here you get some tactical basic:

- Play as simply as possible, games that could last 1 hour, and see fast action.

- Try to give the other people the simplest or the most simbolic army you can muster with maybe some good combos. You use the most BAD army, maybe a little bit numerous filled with weak guys, take the opportunity to try CRAZY GROUPS

- Donīt use complicated rules, play as simple as you can.

- Try to not win fast the game, play giving some counsel and make fool moves in your turn(maybe act like! " oh men i put my dreadnought in sight of your rocket launcher! oh im lost"); in this case your intention is to hook people not to scare them away from game... giving they a victory is a big victory for the hobbie in your community.

- Donīt play for them, explain the rules and let them try to use the tricks of the army.


Those tricks worked for me... when the people plays and see the game in this fashion they get exited and then they buy their own army.

Donīt try to sell an army idea... because they could get the wrong army, ask them first which army they like the most and try to explain how it works.

Good luck and well prepare for your NEW big community
