Who's going to Warhammer Fest 2023 - Manchester UK - 29th April to 1st May


Recommended Posts

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. :smile:

 

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:

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)?

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.

My son turns 8 mid-April, and as I have a weekend pass I've got him a ticket just in case. 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

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...

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?).

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. 

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.

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.

Hah, unfortunately they are all spoken for. I'm not making the trip alone.

I’m not an expensive date, plus I put out!

=][= 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!

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.

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.

I’ll be dragging the kids around with me so we’ll see how that goes!
