I concur with previous comments, on going for a Dreadball. Having a game for use at the club, possibly for new walk ups to try would be very useful.
However I would for a second game, pick either Pike and Shotte, or Black Powder. Hail Ceaser is already being played by some folks at the club, even if sporadically. Bolt Action whilst a game from a more popular era, is a WWII game, an would likely be played anyway. The other two, are time periods none of our current members other than Steve touch. Having a rules set for members to look over, may well cause someone to possibly look to a different time period than normal.
Star Wars Legion - Rebels
Guildball - Alchemists
Blood Bowl - Lizardmen

I'm going to get these sets ordered over the weekend.
I'm going to sound out Steve (our current de-facto historical dept. representative) on the Warlord options, but current thinking is that unless anyone has strong objections I'm erring towards Hail Caesar as reading around there seems to be a lot more scope with regard to choice of forces. From what I can gauge there seems to be some degree of interest in this era among the group, and therefore less chance of this particular game gathering dust. I think Sam (and Joe?) have a minimal number of figures and have played a couple of small games against each other at the club, but have been seeking other interested parties for a while.
Any volunteers to paint these sets? We'll also need to give some thought to storage.

Tom bought some Hail Ceasar troops already. Having played and enjoyed it.
I got the impression you could have a decent skirmish game in a night for a relatively low outlay - which makes sense for a 'club set'.
