Club t-shirts help the public know who to ask about the displays and the club.

ALIEN HULK

. . . or maybe it was the aliens hunting the space marines!

Above. Based on the concept of the Alien science fiction movies the game was played in a magnificent tunnel maze put together by Brendan Day (shirt with yellow collar).

NECROMUNDA

Above. Zombies charging after the gang members.

Above. Heavily armed gang members are needed to hold off the zombie menace.

Necromunda is the game of Gang Warfare set in the dark and decaying Hive cities of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Most Gangs are made up of 8 to 10 figures; from muscled punks to putrid mutants. This game involved gangs fleeing from a horde of ravening Zombies in the towering skyscraper. James Wright, Dean and Adam hosted this game.

FULL THRUST

Above. Combat in deep space between opposing fleets of armed space ships based on the Full Thrust rules. Martin Morgan (black jumper) has made some exciting modifications to the standard rules which makes for a free flowing game of science fiction space combat. The public were given the chance to captain a fleet of the empire's finest starships in combat on the outer fringes of the empire; battling rebel starships and alien invaders.
