Warmaster Winter Warmer 2026

Andy, Alan and I ran our second Winter Warmer event at the splendid Boards and Swords venue in Derby. We had an odd number of players, So A&A kindly agreed I could play - I say "kindly" i think they were both hoping I would again claim the Wooden Spoon which would amuse them immenseley

I'll post my games over the next few days, but first here's a round up of some of the other splendid armies we saw on the day.

Undead Vikings

That's a Black Coach

Rob's daemons that I played at WM 25 last year

Paul;'s Skaven horde

Facing off against Chaos I think

Daemons v Vampire Vikings

More Skaven

Chaos attacking the Skaven

Tomb Kings

Vampires I reckon

This is possibly a Gob off - O&G v O&G

Lovely venue, top tables up on the mezzanine.

Dark Elves I think

Yes, definitely Dark Elves

Witch Hunters of all things!

No idea what this army is

A great day of gaming.

People form all across the country, and Scotland too with almost every type of army present.

Boards and Swords was a fantastic venue.
