I want to share with you all the details for Blood and Glory 2017. THE BAD DICE GAMING CONVENTION ——BLOOD AND GLORY 2017—— THE ROUND HOUSE, DERBY, UK EUROPE’S BIGGEST AOS AND 40k EVENTS This is the 5th year we have ran Blood and Glory the event is being turned up to 11! We have brand new spectacular venue and will be expanding to include not only Age of Sigmar but also 40k and Horus Heresy. I posted a podcast about the event here - http://baddice.co.uk/blood-glory-tickets-sale-now-aos-daily-100/ and you can also check out the video we recorded at the venue. This event is set to be the biggest and best Bad Dice event yet. We have an amazing new venue that can hold up to 700 players and we intend to fill it! The Age of Sigmar and 40k Matched Play GT’s are going to be huge but we also have plenty going on for players who prefer Narrative and Open play. Warhammer Achievements is a Age of Sigmar Narrative play event and we are welcoming the Imperial Truth team who are running a Horus Heresy narrative event. So if you want to test your AoS and 40k skills against the best players in the world, see amazing painted models and hang out for a weekend of gaming then grab a ticket before they sell out.

It’s worth underlining the Bad Dice Team’s aim for this whole event. It goes without saying that we want everyone to leave having had an amazing weekend. We also want to give players new to the tournament scene the chance to jump in without feeling total out of their depth while giving the regulars an event that they will be more than happy to recommend to their friends and can’t wait to attend again the following year. We want to celebrate all areas of the hobby but keep the competitive edge that is part of the fun of tournament gaming. My personal highlight from most of the events I have attended over the years is the social side. The events that stick in the memory are the ones that offer lots for the players to do and keeps them gathered in one place in the evenings. We will make sure that no matter your preference for a tournament evening, we should have something on offer to keep you entertained and having a great time. Between the Bad Dice team, and our huge list of advisors, helpers and contributors we have attended and organised 100’s of events, this lets us see what works well, what we like and dislike and what we want to bring to Blood & Glory. The event is taking place at the Roundhouse in Derby. A beautifully renovated listed building that is the perfect setting for a gaming event. The Bad Dice event ethos is firmly in place here, we want to see amazing armies on the best gaming tables with game mats and terrain on each board. Gamers of all levels of experience are welcome from total newcomers to the hobby right up to grizzled veterans, we have something for everyone. http://roundhouse-events.co.uk Check out the video below for a better look .

MrCharisma Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'm very tempted to fly in from Australia for this event. I'll wait for GBH 2017 and the rules pack, however; the video makes the event look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already prepared the wife that 2018 will include an international AoS tournament. Will need to line up all the ducks but this is looks good. It's downtown you vs. Adepticon vs. SCGT. *EDIT* Just realised that this is in November, and not March (how Australian order dates). Still very keen. Flight prices look good at the moment.

Ben Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have posted the entry lists to the Blood and Glory website. I'll update the first post too. 60 Players for AoS so far. 140 players across all systems so far. Its going to be a cracking event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking likely that I'll book my flights tomorrow and can confirm B&G tickets later this week. I think I remember you saying in the video that you can have as many players as you wanted?

Ben Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 There is no limit at the moment, but as it gets closer to the event I will be capping systems that are less popular and offering other ones, basically using the allocated space to give other games a chance Blood Bowl is probably the top of that list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCharisma Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks. Glad to know there is a low risk of me booking a 23hr flight to England for me to miss out on a spot ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
