RuneBrush Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We've finally got a date for the Age of Sigmar Open Day 2018! It appears to be sticking to a single day event and on the 3rd March with a gaming event following on the Sunday - which is the same format used in 2016 (we didn't get one last year). I'll update this post as more information gets released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorticulusTGA Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Great ! Hope it ties to something big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm working on the Saturday, but I'm keen for the Sunday gaming event. Any idea when tickets are out? There's nothing on WHW's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Taylor Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I think we will see something this week about when Tickets go on sale now the cat is out of the bag. If I was to guess, I would say something by the end of next week, especially because we have Heat One for AOS next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 My prediction is tickets will go on sale this Saturday at the New Year Open Day, failing that as @Gaz Taylor says, Heat One. Very curious as to what we're going to see released/announced - the first one was the culmination of Season of War with the Seeds of Hope event.

S133arcanite Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Im probably going to the grand tourney heat 2, so I probably wont be able to fit it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Maybe we'll get lucky and the gaming event will be a freebie like the two Konor campaign days they had there last year. I can dream, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's as much of a dream as you think - it's what GW did with the first AoS Open Day, the event was completely free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Well we've now had the e-mail about the event! The tickets go on sale 8am (UK time) on Monday, £12.50 for the normal ticket or £25 if you also want to participate in the Shadespire event they're doing. [ WHW page ] The free gaming on the Sunday is a Matched Play event, at 1500 point (battlehost). It's higher points limit than the first open day and is written in that it's a good introduction to tournaments for new players (which I'm sure won't stop some people bringing insanely powerful lists). Event pack can be found here: https://20889-presscdn-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/Season-Of-Sowing.pdf I now need to work out a 1500 point list (I don't think 7 weeks is long enough to paint up a death army from scratch judging by my normal speed...)

AdamR Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Definitely going on the Sunday. Might try out and all Vanguard (as opposed to Vanguard Wing) list. Gotta work the Saturday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastercrafted Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Been looking for a one day age of sigmar event, no way i could do two days and the calendar seems to be full of them for some reason. Might try and get along to the sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Tickets went on sale for the Open Day (plus Underworlds tournament) and the one-day tournament at 8am this morning I may have got mine already! If you're "on the fence" about the Open Day (Saturday), this is one day in the year that you will get unprecedented access to the sculptors, painters, rules writers and other parts of the GW machine and can ask questions and generally geek out. In the past open days have been where I've picked up a lot information on the way certain things work and odd hints of what might be coming along (I knew Necromunda was being worked on at the beginning of 2017). If the Season of Sowing gaming event (Sunday) is anything like the Seeds of Hope event from the first Open Day, then it should be a really good laugh. Very much a friendly event with 50% of the potential scoring down to favourite game and your army, so it's a case of bringing along your happy game face and an army that you'd enjoy facing if the tables were turned. #verykeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Few more reveals for the Open Day! First off we've the list of GW staff who are attending - very decent contingent of Forge World staff which is quite cool plus a very good helping of Rules Writers - so an excellent opportunity to quiz them over things and make suggestions. Want the Tomb Kings to be given some love? Speak to Robin & Jervis to show how passionate you are! Next up we've Black Library, the fantastic Josh Reynolds and Dan Abnett are doing signings, plus it's the first opportunity to pick up Nagash: The Undying King in paperback form. I've the hardback version and it's one of the best AoS stories I've read. Josh has also done amazing work with building up a lot of the flavour and background of the Mortal Realms so is an absolute mine of information.

Turgol Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Is there some sort of preview seminar expected? Other forms of reveals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past open day's have never had any form of new release seminar so it's unlikely we'll get one (though not impossible). Normally you see the upcoming models and sometimes a few models that might be coming out shortly (so pre-order the next weekend). Forge World tends to have what they're working on currently, although this may well be different this year (none are sculptors) and we might just find out a bit more about how their new AoS team is going to work.

HorticulusTGA Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thank you RuneBrush ! Who is attending ? Shall we have a summary or - better ! - a live report of the event, please ? (Even if Warhammer TV will be there...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turgol Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That’s what I was thinking. I hope I am wrong but the hype over and AoS open day reveal of Deepkin will lead to dissapointment. GW is however building hype for an incoming reveal, but I think it will be Gamma and not AoS Open Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Events I attend, I try and put up a gentle trickle of photos as the day goes on and I spot things that are interesting. I'm guessing Warhammer TV will be in attendance, but not sure. I am of course assuming that the weather isn't so bad I can't get there... 11 minutes ago, Turgol said: That’s what I was thinking.

I'm hoping we might get a bit of an insight tomorrow on the live stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorticulusTGA Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Is there really absolutely no preview / news coming on an AOS open day ?? Seems strange indeed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodmaster Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Open days usually show at least some kind of news - FW ones often more than the regular GW events. With what we have seen already this year, I would not be surprised if we get lager reveals at every major event, both in-house and third-party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I really wish they would do an event like this in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
