Warhammer World Is Bringing Back Live Events Later This Year
Games Workshop has announced Live Events are returning to Warhammer World this year – and you can get tickets later this month!
Are you going to be in Nottingham? Want to stop by the gaming Mecca that is Warhammer World? Well, you might want to check the date because YOU could be there at the right time for some Live Events! That’s right, Warhammer World is reopening their Live Events for later this year and they already have 4 new events planned.
“The US Open Series isn’t the only exciting news for in-person gaming in the second half of 2021. The events team at Warhammer World has started scheduling events again! This is a big moment for UK-based hobbyists who have been waiting patiently for a return to competitive tournaments.”
Now, there will be some safety precautions for obvious reasons, but the fact that Live Events are returning is a big deal. There’s nothing quite like getting together with a big group of other Warhammer fans in person and playing in a big event. And it’s not just one event GW is planning to host, it’s FOUR!
First up, getting tickets! All the ticket sales for these events are going live on August 30th of this year. So if you’re looking to go, check the date of the respective event and set an alarm to get your tickets on the 30th!
The Events
“The new edition is here, so bring your favourite Kill Team, matched play rosters, and some gaming accessories for a one-day tournament comprising four games. The wins (and bragging rights) go to the top three scorers. Extra prizes will be handed out to your favourite armies and favourite opponents.”
