WARHAMMER WEDNESDAYS - NO KIDS NO TITANS
We continue our weekly night of Warhammer tonight from 5pm. We are currently playing Warhammer 40,000 7th ed Kill Team (200 points) and Age of Sigmar Skirmish (50 points). We will also be moving onto playing Age of SIgmar Path to Glory when it is released on the weekend, Shadow War Armageddon, and 8th ed Patrol Games (30 power) Why not pop down and play a few games, I have some spare warbands and teams, (although Its not a night where I teach you to play sorry).
PRE-ORDER THE NEW PATH TO GLORY RULES AND JOIN IN THE STORE CAMPAIGN ONLY £20!! DESIGNED TO WORK WITH ANY START COLLECTING BOX (WHY NOT ORDER ONE OF THOSE AT 25% TO GET STARTED)
Get your orders in for this asap and get involved.
... Next week sees the release of a very exciting book which we will be using in store to run our campaign in-store , heres some details about it from the GW site.
Warbands rise to power in every corner of the Mortal Realms. Mighty warriors and dread sorcerers marshal their forces as they set out to crush all who stand before them. This is Path to Glory, where legendary heroes and terrifying enemies are born in bloody battle.
In this book, you’ll learn how to place yourself in the blood-soaked boots of a powerful warlord, dragging an ever-growing band of fiercely loyal followers into savage combat across the Mortal Realms. Starting with a single champion and a few followers, you’ll – assuming your capacity for violence is enough – gradually turn your warband into a rapacious horde of killers edging ever closer to eternal glory.
Contained in the 88-page softback:
- The Rise of Gulgaz – the story of the meteoric rise of Gulgaz Stoneklaw and his warclan, who expanded into a veritable juggernaut of an army; - a detailed explanation of the Path to Glory campaign: how to create a warband, how Glory Points are accrued and spent (and the rewards they bring), and how to achieve eternal glory – the final victory in a campaign; - a Warband Roster – this is a blank roster on which to document your warband and its exploits – you’re free to photocopy this; - 6 Battleplans – essentially, missions you can use in your campaign, each with a different objective that changes the way your games are played; - Warband Tables – these are the rules used to determine the champion, followers and rewards for your warbands. Included are tables for the following factions: Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Beasts of Chaos, Skaven, Clans Pestilens, Kharadron Overlords, Stormcast Eternals, Fyreslayers, Sylvaneth, Seraphon, Order (chosen from Human, Aelf and Duardin models), Ironjawz, Beastclaw Raiders, Bonesplitterz, Destruction (chosen from Orruk, Grot and Ogor models), Flesh-Eater Courts and Death; - Start Collecting! Warbands – if you’re itching to get going, but don’t have the right models for a warband (or just fancy a new one…) then these are the rules for you – they’re designed to work with the Start Collecting! boxes of Warhammer Age of Sigmar models. Simply pick up a box, assemble the miniatures and you’re good to go – these rules have been fine-tuned to offer immediacy and balance.

HOUR OF DEVASTATION STOCK DELAY
NO EVENT TODAY - STORE CLOSED
We had en Email late yesterday from our supplier that our delivery of Hour of Devastation has been delayed. This is NOT a matter of availability or orders not being fulfilled, just a matter of delay. I have used this supplier for over a year now and most of the time they are great, however this is now the second issue I have had from them (eternal masters - which to be fair they worked hard to fulfill when the prod...uct was globally short-shipped). This means I will now be using an alternative supplier to fulfill hour of devastation, the earliest I can order is Monday which means stock should be here Tuesday.
My restocks on all standard boosters were on the same order, none of which was supplied so I have zero Standard boosters in stock till I can fix this on Monday. Therefore I have taken the decision to cancel todays competitive standard event and keep the store closed for the day.
Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused and I assure you that all orders will be fulfilled and we will be using a different supplier for new releases going forward to avoid another disappointment.

HOUR OF DEVASTATION UPDATE
Obviously we are approaching closing time (2pm) and no sign of the delivery , so its safe to assume it wont be here today as expected. We are still waiting to hear from our distributors and will update this page and our events page as soon as we have any news.Fingers crossed it will be available tomorrow. Watch this space for further news.
WARHAMMER WEDNESDAY
Good Morning everyone, today is Wednesday all day today which means alongside finishing my Grave Guard and maybe starting my Beastman warband and listening to the Intergalactic punk rock hip hop wonderness that is PWEI, its also the continuation of our weekly Wednesday night event "NO KIDS - NO TITANS" This is a free to attend, free to play night for mature gamers (no under 16s sorry) to play skirmish games in a friendly environment (no power gamers sorry...). At the moment we are playing Warhammer 40,000 7th ed Kill team (200pts) and Age of Sigmar Skirmish (50pts). I have also spoke to people about putting together 30 power of 8th ed in a patrol detachment force org to start playing some small games of 8th.
We have a WARPSTORM order going in this Monday, but due to the last minute rush which almost delayed this order I will be closing orders Saturday 4pm and the order will go in Monday morning and arrive Wednesday ready for games night.
