With the help of the Ansells and Wargames Foundry I put on three Warhammer 3rd edition participation games a year. The attendance is usually in the teens somewhere so we use one table and a low model count to keep things slick. We play for laughs and to tell a story (usually a comic story).
The Halloween game has been called 'Night of the Living Lead' for three years now (thanks to Erny if I recall correctly) and this year I am stretching the lead puns to the absolute limit with 'The Lead of Winter' in March and Wake the Lead in May (date TBC). If you'd like to join us or play alongside us on a table of your own get in touch either here or in the Facebook Oldhammer Community Group's Lead of Winter event.
The objective for the forthcoming Lead of Winter is for participants to provide two units for the game, one for the good guys and one for the bad guys. The narrative (details to follow) means Chaos units won't fit in but pretty much anything else goes. Units led by a champion with a name are ideal but if you have an alternative idea you would rather run with just get in touch. I'm doing a small unit of undead footknights and some Norse huscarls to oppose them. The 3rd ed main rules and the Warhammer Armies book both have useful sheets for filling out the details of a unit and will be necessary because you will be passing one of your units to the opposition to use.
The event runs from 10am to 4pm with the game starting around 11am. Food and beverages are provided throughout the day (we chip in £10 each to cover the cost to the Ansells of all the coffee, cakes and sandwiches etc.). The postcode NG23 5QF takes you straight to the venue, make sure your sat-nav has been updated in the last few years though as Newark's road system has been updated in that time.
If anyone wants to merge their own event or otherwise coordinate (I know that a BOYL 3.5 was mooted for around this time) I will respond to PMs here or on Facebook as soon as I can.
Cheers!
