  1. Just an update on the AoS pack.  After Bobo and BLACKOUT we are looking at the options for tiebreakers with having 200 players and only 5 rounds.  

    I will post the pack this weekend with an amendment due in a few weeks time with details of how we will be dealing with tiebreakers.  

    The soul die more soft scores, secondary objectives, or something else.  Its TBC at the moment.  

  2. Hi Guys, 

    I'm a bit late to this thread seeing as the previous one started as my own army blog!  

    I'm torn between playing Legion and Daughters at the mo.  Morathi is so cool its hard to not go there.  

    I'm loving the new Legion updates though and will too be trying out the Execution Herd list.  I also fancy playing large units of Fireborn backed by endless spells to buff them.  

    Thanks for posting all your lists.  some inspiring stuff in here.

    Hi @Ben

    I'm very excited to be going organising a big group of friends going to Blood and Glory this year, playing several different systems. Will tickets for the Blood Bowl and Necromunda events be going on sale on Sunday too, or will it be just the main AoS, 40k and Horus Heresy ones?

    Also who's running the Necromunda event and do they need a board or two's worth of nicely painted scenery? If so, feel free to put me in touch. :) 

    Necromunda is still TBC. I will be in touch!

    Good call on sorting out the price of food and drink to be more reasonable. T’other than that I really enjoyed last year. 

     

    Any narrative or more laid back gamers I would highly recommend Warhammer Achievements- Stevey Wren always run a good event and the terrain and player packs are exceptional. 

    Thanks Timmy

    How does this work for narrative then? I see you mentioned "Warhammer Achievements", but how many games is this? I presume this is an alternative to the matched play event?

    @Stevewren will fill in the details but it’s 2 daysof narrative battles.

  8. Last year at Blood and Glory we handed out feedback forms and we had a huge number filled in and returned to us and we spent a long time looking a them and seeing where we could improve the event for this year.  

    Overall the feedback was pretty amazing.  I was blown away by some of the comments about the event and the support we got from the players, especially 40k and Heresy when these are traditionally not a ‘Bad Dice’ game that we are familiar with.  

    There was one massively overwhelming amount of feedback that was on almost every single sheet that we had returned.  I would say 95% of the feedback sheets (over 150!) mentioned the food and drink in some form or other.  Most of this was to say that the Bar and Food were expensive for what was being offered.  

    The food was something that was not handled by ourselves, so we have limited control over.  We chose this route as organising an event for 350 attendees has its own challenges without also having to thing about catering.  However, after the overwhelming feedback received we have ben back to the venue and agreed a set menu and bar prices that are entirely more reasonable.  

    Here is a 2018 Blood and Glory Bar and Food menu.

    Additionally we will be ensuring that free tap water is easily avaliable in all areas of the venue.

  9. Hi everyone.  

    I want to share with you all the details for Blood and Glory 2018.  

    Image from iOS.jpg

    THE BAD DICE GAMING CONVENTION

    ——BLOOD AND GLORY 2018——

    THE ROUND HOUSE, DERBY, UK

    This is the 6th year we have ran Blood and Glory the event is being turned up to 11!  Last year we had a  brand new spectacular venue and will be continuing expanding to include not only Age of Sigmar, 40k and Horus Heresy but also a full range of Games Workshop game systems.   

    If you have been a member of this community for a while you will have seen my post about how I feel about Warhammer and TGA.Community, well this is the exact feeling that we will be bringing to Blood and Glory.  

     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.

    The Blood and Glory Age of Sigmar rules pack is here.  

    This pack is 100% set in stone, there will however be an ADDITION to the pack to regarding TIEBREAKERS as a 200 player event with 5 rounds will result in a high number of players being on the same points totals for each bracket.  

    We are working on a secondary objective system that will be in play in each of the games in the AoS Championships.  

    These secondary objectives are still to be confirmed.  This will not change the result of a game, the battle plan will still decide that, but they will be the difference in who will win the event when 2 players are on equal battlepoints.

    I want to post these by the 1st October but we 'Might' leave it until registration to ensure they are properly tested.  

    Warhammer 40,000

    New 40k Rules
    5 games, 2 day event.
    ITC Event


    Horus Heresy, Warhammer Achievements, Shadespire, Necromunda, Titanicus, Bloodbowl and more details to be released soon.  

    Seminars, specialist games, Painting Contests and lots more to be announced. 

    More information to be revealed in the coming weeks.


    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.


    Here are some photos from last years event.

  10. Thanks for the comments so far.  

    Hopefully we can have some discussion around this for a few weeks then I can put something in place.  

    At the moment I'm thinking a combination of:

    a couple of banner ads that are removed if you become a premium member (including one advertising premium membership).

    Premium members get a few benefits and access to giveaways/upgrades and an off topic area but actual 'content' is always free.  

    Premium membership can be an ongoing subscription or a one off donation for a set time period.  

     

    I'm pleased there is a positive reaction to this.  thanks for your support.
