Warhammer World, Nottingham
This event is about enjoying great games in the presence of other enthusiastic players and their gorgeously-painted armies. Throne of Skulls provides a chilled out, relaxed atmosphere in which to really enjoy the hobby. The focus is on playing in the spirit of the game and is perfect for players of all experience levels. Whether this is your first foray into playing at Warhammer World or you’re a veteran of a hundred battles, we welcome you and invite you to enjoy a truly unique Middle-earth™ experience.
It’s time to sign that contract, mount your pony and make your way into legend. We’ll see you on the battle field. Du Bekâr!
The Journey to Erebor
Thorin Oakenshield’s quest to reclaim Erebor is almost over. The Dwarves have travelled far to the east, outwitting Trolls, evading Orcs and even escaping imprisonment from within the dungeon of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm. Thorin’s Company have finally reached The Lonely Mountain, but reckless haste has led them to rouse mighty Smaug™ from his slumber. Yet the dragon is but one of many perils that Thorin Oakenshield™ and his kinsmen now face, as five armies of friends and foes alike converge upon Erebor, each seeking a claim to the long-lost treasures of the Dwarves…
In this Throne of Skulls event, re-live the epic clashes throughout Middle-earth at the time of the Battle of the Five Armies. Play 7 games of The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies™ , meet other members of the Middle-earth community and secure your place in legend.
Event Essentials You’ll need a 600 point fully painted The Hobbit™ or The Lord of the Rings™ army. Play 7 games over the weekend against randomly selected opponents.

Join either Thorin’s Company or the Legions of of Azog™ The Defiler and help determine the fate of Middle-earth. Score Victory Points for your faction; together you will earn glory or fall into darkness. Tickets cost £65 and covers entry to the event, as well as lunch in our restaurant on both Saturday and Sunday.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

They sold out within 24 hours and have just extended another 40 tickets. If they're still available in a month, I'll nab a few.

I've yet to win a game but it has been great fun so far. I just wish my dice were not weighted to ones xD (It feels that way so far)

You'd be surprised. Apparently GW dice are weighted such that they automatically roll more 1's than they do 6's statisically. If you want to get a real chance at even odds on getting that 6, you have to invest in ridiculously expensive casino dice.

Ketara- if you're interested, casino dice can be had for less-than-eyewatering prices via Amazon.

And that article doesn't even touch on precision backgammon dice.
