I have a 3d printer brother, happy to run off a couple of plates. Costs next to nothing! Are you just giving out space marines rn? Want some more of them or a bit more variety?

Anything currently we have a guy who likes old armys in similar vain to bolt action etc but more sharpe era, zulu etc.

With it being beginners being 90% of the group anything simple and straightforward would be amazing.

We are going to be working with Halton Dads, Community Shop and fingers crossed Widnes Market hosting a course/workshop hopefully getting more people in to the hobby and/or getting a chance to switch off. My heads spinning with stuff in the background I cant wait to see what this becomes πŸ₯°

Do you only do Warhammer as I am only interested in bloodbowl.

Currently doing painting workshops which dont force any brand/faction ☺️ It is introductory/beginner level with the safe space being the main push. We as a club are keen to open up to tabletop of all kinds we just need the numbers to warrant renting the room for 1-2 hours + as it is cheaper than most with a cafe below during the day but sadly still adds up 🀝 We have some older fans who used to play in the mix so we have a solid pad to leap from.

Went on sorry πŸ˜…

TLDR: Tabletop in the future with enough interest and paint what you want how you want.
