In the vast expanse of Melbourne's western suburbs lies a wargaming club that defies convention and embraces creativity: Warplings. This unique club draws its name from the curious combination of "Wargames" and "Dumplings" creating a playful fusion that conceals a deeper meaning. In a delightful twist, the name not only pays homage to the world of wargaming but also carries a subtle nod to the enigmatic denizens of Warhammer 40,000's warpspace.
