After a day of Warhammer World (http://www.tga.community/blogs/blog/15-hobgoblinblog/) and drinks in Nottingham, we were up bright and early to make the hour drive to Coventry and Warhammer Fest! Somehow, due to roadworks and wrong turns, that hour turned into three. The question cards from Trivial Pursuit kept us occupied and we arrived around 11ish.
Blood Bowl was the highlight of the Fest for me, so I'll start with that. I had a good chat with James Hewitt, the writer, and I'm pleased to say he allayed any fears I had. The game will come with two teams (orcs and humans) and will be a 'fraction of the price' of the other boxed games (I'm guessing this means £50/60). Four more plastic teams will follow: skaven, dwarf, nurgle and 'some kind of elf'. Also on release day will be Death Zone Season One, which includes rules for league play. Following all those treats, they have plans for resin teams, resin coaching staff and refs (probably as event-only minis), more Death Zone sets up to at least Season Five. Most interesting is the plan to move the timeline on. Season One will begin with all of the classic star players. As the seasons progress, these players will age, potentially become managers, and be replaced by new, younger stars!
There was also this really nice Laketown set coming out for the Hobbit. It might be a tiny bit too small for AoS, but it's a really nice kit. There's a picture of some 40k stuff here too. Dunno how that got in here.
@Painted by G entered a few things in Golden Daemon and won a couple of pins! Well done him! Here he is, having just been duped into holding Scott's burger rubbish, next to the only model he entered which didn't win a pin (sorry, it's the only one I photographed). I'm not sure why the slaughterpriest didn't win as he was superb. From sad faces to smiles! We ran into @Dan Heelan who seemed like a thoroughly nice fella and took the photo opportunity.

That's pretty much all of the non-blurry pictures I have. I clearly got caught up having fun and forgot to take more. I leave you with a small selection of the entrants to Golden Daemon. I think only two of these won a trophy (the magmadroth and skarbrand). Shows what I know about painting!
