Greetings Loyal Imperial Citizen and welcome to the Champlain Wargaming Club! Our club is dedicated to all things tabletop wargaming, with a heavy focus on Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.

Learning the games with starter armies will help to ease you into wargaming. Will you join the loyal forces of the God-Emperor? Fight against them within the traitorous armies of Chaos? Or will you duke it out with both as one of the many extraterrestrial Xenos in the galaxy? Find out at Champlain Wargaming!
