The Warhammer World Venue Team have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes recently, plotting and planning a host of exciting new things for all you hobbyists out there.....
We are pleased to announce that the Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000 and the new War of The Ring Throne of Skulls Grand Tournament tickets will be available to purchase from the Games Workshop Web Store from Monday the 12th of July 2010.
The addition of War of The Ring into the Throne of Skulls family as part of our events calendar will be great news for all of you War of The Ring gamers out there! But that's not all.....
We've also taken a look at our calendar and we've decided to hold four seasonal Throne of Skulls Grand Tournaments per year for both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, instead of three heats and a final.
This now means that we are able to offer even more tournaments a year and by spreading them out you can enjoy the events at different times of the year too. This also gives even more opportunities for avid hobbyists to take part in great games, make new friends and enjoy the hospitality of the Warhammer World Venue.
If you have any questions about this or any of our events please don't hesitate to contact us by emailing us at:

Hmm... not too keen on this to be honest. Guess it gives you more chances of winning a prize, if that's why you were bothered in entering, but it also means that you're now only getting 1 event rather than the 2 of previous years. Bit awkward as well as we/people often used to go to different qualifying heats than some of our friends to try and ensure more of us would get to the final.
hmm... guess it is all about £s at the end of the day.
