Then we have the people to help!
What are Gate Builders?
The Gate Builders are a small group of volunteer, experienced Antares players who are available to run introductory games for players wanting to try Beyond the Gates of Antares. What’s more, they are happy to go around different clubs or venues and introduce people to the game.
So, if you or your club have heard of Antares and want to try, please get in touch. They all have demonstration armies to use and loan out and can bring along a variety of forces, templates, dice, rules, advice and, most of all, enthusiasm for the game and a great attitude. Many even have terrain they can bring along, too!
How to contact a Gate Builder
The best way to contact a Gate Builder is either through Andy Hobday at Warlord (via antares@warlordgames.com) or Tim Bancroft (antares@bdawc.org.uk). Both are on Facebook and can be contacted via the Beyond the Gates of Antares (IMTel) Facebook group, as can all the Gate Builders. Tim can also be contacted via a private message on the Warlord Antares Forums (user ‘halfbat’).
You can go along to the Gate Builder’s local clubs, all of which are listed below, and some play home games, as well. Many run Antares events, whether tourneys, campaigns, leagues or bootcamps, and several have offered to arrange showcase days at other clubs – perhaps yours!
Overall, each Gate Builder is happy to provide tactical advice on how to play Beyond the Gates of Antares, how the rules work, painting hints and tips and how to build your forces. Several have their own Antares blogs, podcasts or video blogs on subjects ranging from faction overviews to painting to game reports and even rules insights – a wealth of knowledge and advice.
