Warhammer Fest 2016

[Mr Mystery]

After a year off, [url=https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Warhammer-Fest-Saturday-Adult]it's back[/url]

Running over two days, Warhammer Fest returns to the Ricoh Arena, Coventry.

For clarity, this is not Games Day. I went to the first one in 2014, and it was actually pretty cool. The event was arranged by Forgeworld, and whilst there wasn't as much to see and do as its Gamesday precursors, I found it a more rewarding affair.

There were far fewer people there (yet if memory serves it sold out). This meant you could spend more time chin wagging with the Forgeworld designers about their work, and what they hoped to do in the future.

And at £20 a ticket, I reckon I'm going again this year. Not just because I can get Forgeworld stuff without having to wait but we're now looking at a company working hard to change stuff up.

It's my hope we'll get sneaky peakies of upcoming Specialist Games stuff, glimpses of plastic Heresy, and just possibly previews of what the main Studio are beavering away at. I may well disappointed on at least one of those hopes, but again for £20 I think I can take that hit, especially as the Forgeworld team are really nice people to chat to!

i do wonder with this seemingly effort to change things if they will be able to be a bit more revealing with what they are doing. Won't put too much into main studio but as you said the specialist games guys might be more open to talk too.

oh and tell them you know an amazing chap on a forum that sculpts da bestest ayleenuns evar and they should hire him

Not sure if its related but Lexington tells me that the FW facebook page is back.

I'm not on facebook so I couldn't verify his manic ravings.

[Mr Mystery]

They have indeed returned.

[Mr Mystery]

Right, I'm going this year. Because it's only a three hour drive and I've got mates going with.

Wonder what news I'll bring this time? First one saw me get my mitts on the Chaos Imperial Armour book, no please thousands of Chaos players online (not like that, dirty boy)

Awesome! Can I recruit you to buy me some shirts? :P

Also would be great to find out if we are getting an updated Crusade Army List this year to combine all the new stuff from books 4 and 5, plus various much needed tweaks and erratas! They did it with the Legions, now it's time to clean up the core!

[Mr Mystery]

Got me ticket now!

So looking forward to this!

Rumourage so far....

Free backpack for every attendee - confirmed.

First chance to get the Forgeworld 2016 event model - confirmed for Heresy (other games Unknown)

Good look at Bloodbowl - strongly suggested.

Iron Circle, and the Crusade Imperialis book - confirmed.

First play of the AoS Board Game - rumoured to me personally by the reliable Lady Atia.

Now, it's likely I may be fairly broke by the time I go, so my own spending will be limited (unless Mumsie and Daddykins Mystery front me my birthday munneh a couple of weeks early....). And I am happy to pick up the odd item for those who can't easily get to FW/GW Events.

BUT.....I don't want to be 'That Guy', loading up his basket with multiples of the goodies. So instead, the night before, I'll do another round up post of what we know is going to be there. first come first served!

Have a great time, sounds like itll be pretty fun and exciting! and free backpack? That's neat ^_^

[Mr Mystery]

And apparently, surprise treats in each bag.

No idea what, but at the first Heresy Weekender, my bag came with a natty D6, where the 1 and 6 were the Aquila and Eye of Horus.

Sokar Pattern Stormbird will be available at the event too!
