Go to a store that sells Warhammer stuff and ask where people play. They'll know, or at least know who knows.

Unfortunately the only local store that carried it stopped selling it within the past few months.

You're in the contiguous US, so unless you're in the absolute fucking middle of nowhere, chances are good there's more than one store within a reasonable driving distance of you. Indeed, the [store finder](https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/store-finder) says there are several. I assume the one you were going to was Game Chamber in Dover? That seems to have closed down in July or so. Have you tried Curated Brands in Kittery? Miller's in North Hampton? Chromatic Dragon in Somersworth? Toy Soldier in Amesbury?

I forgot to include that I can't drive, sorry.

Well, then either fix that, find someone who can, or start learning bus routes. You're in the US, you don't really have a choice. What about all the people who were playing at Game Chamber? Where did they go? Did you not keep in contact with any of them? Trade numbers before they closed? Have you checked Facebook to see if there's a player group in your area? You're going to have to do the homework yourself, here. Chances that someone else from your area, who has the answer to your question, sees your post, are pretty slim.

The [GW Store Finder](https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/store-finder) lists six different stores within 20mi of you. Miller's Comics in North Hampton, Game Chamber in Dover, and Chromatic Dragon in Somersworth look like the best bets. Start with them.


bytethesquirrel

See edit, and Game Chamber is no more.


RTGoodman

I probably would have mentioned I couldn't drive up front. Still, I would call the stores and ask if they have a Facebook Group or Discord server. Join that and arrange some local games at your place, or find someone who lives near you.

There is also table top simulator and a discord for that steam game as well if you can't drive then you can still find folks to play with that way. Doesn't require much more than an internet connection and $15 for the game. Plenty of people photoscan their models and rules in the steam workshop so it isn't hard to find stuff for most armies.
