A look back at Warhammer Fest 2016  Diplay Boards Video

Posted on by

I recently wrote about how the Forge World display boards were absence at Warhammer Fest in 2017. I thought I would recapt on what Forge World brought to the piece last year. GW and Forge World had swapped floors in 2016. The GW studio brought 2 of their own 4×4 display boards.

Forge Worlds displayed a massive World Eaters vs Iron Hands board

Games Workshop brought a 40k board


The new Specist game team brought Blood Bowl


Specist Games also put on 2 Lord of the Rings displays

Plenty to marvel at.

And so Warhammer Fest begins

The big Forge World release is an even more heavily armoured Porphyrion. 

But probably even bigger than that  the first painted mastodon has been spotted. The Sons of Horus roll out.


Leman Russ looks to be almost ready. It appears it’s just the base left to do. I wonder if there might be a couple of wolves on it.


The Rhico arena floor plan, it’s a great venue for Warhammer Fest. Really relaxed and full of natural light.


And the most popular area….

The queue for Forge World Goodies. They call it Warhammer Fest, but we know it as ForgeHammer Fest. 
And here is ForgeWorlds new bird


More pictures are available at battlebunnies. They have been posting great content all day. 
ChapterMasters will be picking up coverage of Golden Demon tomorrow.

Great news. Chaptermaster’s very own Ben Jackson will be going to Golden Demon this year. Somehow he had managed to squeeze in a visit to Warhammer Fest in his busy Mathraton training schedule. Ben had this to say.

“I love Golden Demon and I’m so glad GW are making a day of it this year. While I love a trip to Warhammer World as much as the next person, 12 trips in one year is a bit much; unless you live in Nottingham. The atmosphere Golden Demon is electric, and on top of all of the fantastically painted models, the Forge World displays are normally exceptional. I can’t wait to see what I’ve done this year. As a venue The Rico arena is a huge improvement from the NEC and NIA. Having a much more relaxed atmosphere and better food choices available, the parking was also free last time. So big thumbs up to Kevin Rowntree on bringing back the best day in the games workshop calendar. I hope to post some pictures on the day and keep the ChapterMasters website busy with new content for weeks to come.

Warhammer Fest and Golden Demon to return in 2016

News broke at the Horus Herersy Weekend that Warhammer Fest will take place in May of 2016. It will be again be held at the Rhico arena in Coventry.

Golden Demon will be held at Warhammer Fest in place of the Warhammer World mini competitions. 
The 1st pictures of the tickets have appeared on volomir.blogspot.co.uk.

  
This can only be good news for Golden Demon fans who want to see all the entries, but don’t want to make 12 separate trips to Warhammer World in order to do so.

I know that the Warhammer Fest format wasn’t a hit with everyone, but I enjoyed it and will certainly go to get pictures of all the entires.

So if you want to see this years best painted Citidel and Forge World models, mark the 14th and 15th of May out in your dairy.

Paint for the paint God.

Warhammer World September 2015 Mystery

Posted on by

Warhammer World will be shutting for almost a week in September from the 24th to 28th. The mind boggles at what event could take so long? September was traditionally the home of GamesDay. Clearly at this point it’s too late to sell tickets to an event of that sort of magnitude. So the question remains what could the guys at Warhammer World be up to for almost a week? They are also advertising for model makers and painters maybe this is a big clue. Will we be seeing an expansion of the exhibition displays for the rumoured Horus Hersy board game? Or are we looking at a more dramatic remodelling to the centre? Maybe they will finally make the new entrance hall worth while. I’m afraid the only facts I know is that the Forge World displays and artwork prints which were visible from the gaming hall are now locked behind shutters, being only visible to those who have paid for entrance to the exhibition. This does mean the exhibition ends in the shop so something in the world has been put to rights. So there are now defiantly  more painted models on display in your local Gamesworkshop than at Warhammer World, unless you pay for the exhibition.

Over and out

We have learnt this is an internal Games Workshop event which requires all tables to be removed. Obviously it’s not an internal games day.
