Fantastic news!
It is so important that we all support this event. The last 3 SBG events' attendance have been 90ish, 60ish and 32 and we need to stop the rot. As a result of the drop in attendance at last years doubles (32 people so only 16 teams!!!) it looks like GW have dropped SBG doubles and moved to a 1 SBG tournament per year format - not great news. This is the perfect opportunity for us to show them how big, active and passionate the SBG community is and make it a weekend to remember. The only way we stand a chance of bringing back doubles (if it has gone) is to make sure this event is a great success.
Weekends at Warhammer World are absolutely second to none in terms of wargaming. The venue is incredible, the miniatures gallery stunning, the staff are welcoming and friendly, THERE'S A DWARVEN TAVERN ATTACHED and the sense of community is absolutely amazing. If anyone out there is only tempted to go to one event this year then please, please, please make it this one.
Whatever people think about model prices/Finecast etc. I think we can all agree that we love this game and we need to turn up in force to show GW that there is a big fan base for this game and that they should continue to support SBG through releases and events for a long time to come.
@Knighty - Almost certainly, although after a few test games for Mansfield against Tom on Tuesday the Alfred/Bombur cheese certainly wasn't overpowering in an all hero force as they were so easy to get to. As I've said before I think taking the 2 of them along and hiding them behind the ranks of a normal army with only 2/3 heroes will actually be far more effective/cheesy. You can judge for yourself next weekend!
Now, onto my TOS army, I've been thinking about/planning this for a while now, now I have a firm date to work towards I can get cracking on Dr Grant's 2014 master plan...
BWA-HA-HA-HAAAA!!!!
