Cyrox Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 We are now only 2 months away from Warhammer Fest 2023, so i thought i'd start a thread and see who's going from here? I'm not saying we should have a massive B&C meetup or anything official, but it would certainly be nice to maybe say hello to a couple of Fraters if the day allows. I'm lucky that its only 20 mins away from me, and I've got a weekend pass and plan to be there all 3 days, will prob dedicate one day to a vlog though. Who's going then? All the latest info is here if you haven't seen it: https://www.warhammer-community.com/warhammerfest/ apologist, BLACK BLΠFLY and Xenith 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377751-whos-going-to-warhammer-fest-2023-manchester-uk-29th-april-to-1st-may/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'll be there, I'm in the HH Narrative event on the Saturday, but will otherwise be milling about WHF for the whole weekend. Where are you based @Cyrox?

Joe Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) I'll be heading up for the event. I believe @Lord Marshal is heading up as well.

Burni Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Slightly OT but I don't live too far (about 40mins away) so was thinking of bringing my old son who's just starting to get interested in 40k. His fav are the Tyranids, so if they announce the 10th box with 'nids in there, that would be amazing. But he's only 8. I haven't been to a Games Day since the CC terminators launched in 4th ed so no idea what they are like now. Worth taking an 8 year old with a very limited understanding of the game (but a love for the models)?

Joe Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 It may be worth seeing if you can book on to one of the hobby sessions they'll be running across the event? There's quite a few listed on the Eventbrite page, including some which should be suitable for that age bracket.

He's started to show a little interest, and enjoyed WH World last year, but I'm not sure if he'll want to go yet Burni 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377751-whos-going-to-warhammer-fest-2023-manchester-uk-29th-april-to-1st-may/#findComment-5917328 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, I don't think it's too expensie for what you get. There'll be models on display, presumably, dioramas, cosplayers, studio staff, sneak peeks I hope. I'm out of the loop as I haven't been to a games day since 2007...

Burni Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 His ticket is free so that makes it less painful but I didn't want to be dragging him around if it's not really suitable for him. I've since grabbed tickets for the Sunday as a friend is in the causal 40k tournament, so will swing by and see him as well (assuming you can spectate like that?).

apologist Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'll be heading up for the duration – it's my first Games Day/Fest, so I'm looking forward to it. :) Xenith, Cyrox and Mandragola 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377751-whos-going-to-warhammer-fest-2023-manchester-uk-29th-april-to-1st-may/#findComment-5918435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closet Skeleton Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'm in the Age of Sigmar tournament in spite of not having played the game for a year or so.

Mandragola Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I’ll be there on Saturday and Sunday. I’m doing the singles and doubles in the heresy narrative thing. Would be fun to meet some Fraters, though I’m not sure how much time I’ll have away from tables. Look for Raven Guard with an Astorum Warhound in the singles and Alpha Legion “allies” in the doubles.

Angel of Solitude Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'll be at the HH Saturday narrative event with my Dark Angels, so hopefully I'll meet some of you across the table! @Mandragola an Astorum Warhound sounds like a very recognisable unit, so I'll be sure to come and say hello! I'm also currently thinking of going on the Monday morning too to do all the exhibition stuff that I'll miss.

Lord Marshal Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Also attending the Horus Heresy events. Doubles for sure, not set on the solo ones yet - will depend if I want haul 3000pts of Solar Auxilia around multiple days.

Orange Knight Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I managed to snag a few tickets for the Sunday, and will be there to give 10th a try. Anyone from the forum making the pilgrimage?

Orange Knight Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yeah it should be fun. Depending on how busy it is, we might even be able to arrange a quick game of 10th. If not, hopefully everyone has a great time!

Xenith Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) =][= There was already a topic on who's going to WHFest so I've merged @Orange Knight's new thread with @Cyrox's one. =][= I'm looking forward to testing out 10th, that's one of the big surprises. I'm just hoping there's some goodies left for me on the sunday as I'm busy with HH all day saturday!

Holier Than Thou Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I’ll be there on the Saturday with a couple of mates, my first experience of Warhammer Fest although I’ve been to Warhammer World pretty much every year for about 12 years now. Looking forward to it.

aa.logan Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Me! I am! I'm getting quite excited; it’s the sort of thing I wouldn’t normally go to but since it’s just down the road I’ve got a weekend ticket. I’ll be popping in and out every day I think.
