Just incase anyone see Scott.

That the double 40k ticket been bought. Phone up that 10am, got told around 11am they would be on sale. Then check around 10.30am & they had them up.

Like wise, Dave Lotr ticket are on sale now. I would not phone Mail order as they are complete block right now with both tournaments & orders.

So me & Scott will be taken Wolves & Dark Angels. I'll be working on my list after Throne of Skulls tournament which is this weekend.
Can't wait for ToS, going down Fri, leave here around 9am, get into Nottingham around 2pm.
Then Sunday back around 10pm

So as said there, both me & Scott will be going to the 40k double tournament in two week time. Just got this e-mail from GW event team

Good afternoon all,

If you are receiving this e-mail it means that you have registered for the Warhammer 40,000 doubles event at Warhammer World on 19 – 20 Feb 2011.

This is a head us to let you all know that we are going to be putting on something a little special for you all. We have spoken to our friends in Black Library and are going to have 2 of their personalities, (plus 1 surprise guest!) Signing exclusive pre-release books for you to buy and enjoy!

Nick Khyme – Author of the famous Salamanders series

Christian Dunn – Editor of ‘Legends of the Space Marines’ and ‘Fear the Alien’

Both are confirmed and will be there to chat to and sign books for you between games.

This is the first time that ANY of the books available to you are going to be sold anywhere in the world so get ready for the biggest doubles event to get even BETTER!

We will see you on the front lines!

Adam Snook

Warhammer World Events and Activities Team Leader

Games Workshop, Nottingham

Not sure what will be pre-release, but though I'd give notice incase anyone wanted any (of course hand over money for me or Scott to buy the item) & get them sign or if you got a book already that you want sign.

I'd guess pre-release book be like Conflict Scotland in term it once that are up to a month ahead of time

[warsmith]

So mere hour until me & Scott will be going down to Nottingham for the 40k double tournament during the weekend.

Just got this e-mail from the events

Greetings 40k enthusiasts!

The doubles is almost upon us and I am just sending this out to let you all know that Black Library have announced than in addition to Nick Kyme and Christian Dunn, Andy Hoare will be at the Warhammer World on the Saturday as well. The guys from Black Library will be on hand for any questions you have, signings or even getting some novels ahead of schedule.

Novels available before general release will include Victories of the Space Marines, Fall of Damnos, Savage Scars and the Garro: Legion of One audiobook. There will also be the last of the 1000 copies of the Limited Edition hardback novella, The Bloody Handed, by Gav Thorpe which is normally only available direct for £40... but you can all get it on the day for £30!

I would also like to remind you all of the breakfasts available at Bugmans Bar on the mornings (from 8am) both days where you can get coffees, Bacon rolls or even a full breakfast!

Finally, the link to the most recent Errata (mid December) for the Doubles is here

Defo going to pick myself up Garro Audio tape so I can listen to it on Mon when I'm trying to recover from the weekend of gaming & trying to type up my report.

Garro Oath of Moment is really cool & well worth getting right now.

Leave tomorrow moring, get some games & food in Nottingham. Take part in the double tournament on Sat & Sunday. Then after the award & result we will head back home right after the event.

Mon pretty much recover, try to rememeber stuff, do report & pretty much sit on my set in front of the TV for the whole day if it anything like the UKGT or Games Day.

Just back from Nottingham (thanks Scott for the drive)

Brillaint day

6 great games
Brillaint food
Event team a lot better. So happy Andy Joyce no longer work for GW, he did not listen to us, but this event team do & will make changies on good feedback, infact one of my feedback/suggestion has been in use since Jan!!!

Found out one of my friends is now eavy metal team memeber

Also me & Scott got best army nominee

I also made a team hate me & Scott, some gits on round 4 where move terrain all to there side (Ork & Guards). Thing was it the table me & Scott where on table 1 on day one. Give the other side of the table no terrain what so ever.
Despit the pack saying do not move the terrain. Told the refs, shown them the photos from my round 1 battle report, the team got told stop being unsporting gits, we got evil look from them though out the day.

Really hate people hoard terrain to one side of the table & none for the oppent, unsporting. More so when move them in a tournament setting when it clear state Ref place them, do not move.

Going to get some sleep now, get report & also fix some models.

Again brillaint weekend, but my voice is pretty much gone.

Going to be on the GW web site as well ;D
