Where abouts are these tickets available from? I can’t find them on the event page of the Warhammer world website.

Edit: Nevermind I’ve found my way through the mess that is their website and managed to find them.  ???

Good luck! Hope everything goes well and you're blessed with a small human to love. It's honestly the best thing becoming a parent. I'm hoping the post on the site meant the last open day of the year, and not the last open day ever.

I recognise that carry cased with the pins on it, saw a guy picking up his entries at W Fest in may.

Sadly it turns out i probably will no longer be able to attend. My wife and i are going through teh start of the IVF process and just found out the dates for the scans and visits at hospital and the last one will be the 23rd of November, as a result it would be very stresfull and likely clash with the treatment.

My wife and i are both sad i cant go as it was my trip away to meet friends and relax a bit after the stress of the year leading up to the process but its just not worth it if the return travel has any issues and i cant be there for key visits on the monday.

I know i can still go to W/fest in 2019 and hopefully this isnt the last mini demon (as going by the post on the 40k open day info page it may be?!) and ill be back into he big group with little hope of winning as usual.

Thought this may be my chance to shine, but ah well.

Oh yeah sure we can gather in Bugmans and look at the minis :)

I'd like people to know about our forum so if you can spread the word on that Golden Demon - I would be more than grateful.

The more people interested in the Golden Demon we get here, the better! Just to make it clear once more - I'm just s fan of GD and I've created this forum for the community.

So yeah, let's all get a beer like this!

I'll be leaving straight away to get back to put my little one to bed, but am more than happy to go to the bar during the day. I don't game so I'll have spare time while viewing everything. I hope it's not the last mini demon. Im not going to Germany to enter painting comps each year.

Sneaky gw is sneaky. Glad i didnt book anything that cant be changed.

You should had been at euro gd man, there was an awesome party saturday evening. At these small gds i feel most of the locals uk folks go home pretty much right after. Myself i usually enjoy my holiday by slacking at the hotel afterwards hehee

I am always up for a meet up, either in Bugmans after or a closeby watering hole. I am staying in the premier INN Marina, which has a few food places nearby, but were talking frankie and bennys, but dont know when bugmans shuts?

BY THE WAY!

How about we do the old-school afterparty?

You see, in the past, there was a tradition of people attending the Golden Demon getting together after the competition to have drinks, some food, celebrate their wins, have a closer look at the models and so on.

Probably that's because people used to come to the demons from all around the world and wanted to spend more time with other awesome people :)

I've been to 5 demons and never seen anything like that. Oh wait, I remember one afterparty but it was in 2008 and I was a YoungBlood so my apple juice wasn't really that cool! haha :P

What do you guys think?

Hey all, the tickets for the Open Day just went up for sale. I bought mine for the Saturday, which I assume is what one does, but not for the Sunday of the weekend because that’s a tournament entry.

Yeah I'm planning on only going for the GD day. I'm fairly sure it's always on the Sunday.

I never seen tickets sell out at wh40k/AoS open day though. But i still like a ticket before i buy the travel. Especially to confirm that gd is on sunday and not saturday.

I asked them in a FB comment today and they said in the next week or two, something about getting everything bang on before releasing.

I mentioned that travel expenses only get dearer the nearer the event gets.....

Anyone know anything about tickets? I want to be ready when they go on sale. I saw the EM masterclass tickets went on sale today and are all sold out..

Sadly I'm not going. I want to spend a bit of time increasing my skill and confidence level before I start to show case anything. Though I am looking forward to seeing all the finished entries.

OOh, a shiny new forum, i recognise a few faces.

I will be attending the 40k day (when they actually put the tickets up for sale!!)

Entering vehicle and maybe single, but might leave that alone and concentrate on getting my vehicle entry as good as i can.

Welcome! Sounds great! Can't wait to see what you paint mate!

Heya!

I'm coming all the way from Australia! It's a bit of a pilgrimage for me to see the exhibition and also enter a diorama and probably a vehicle.

Would love any advice for people who've travelled there before . . . I can get myself to London fine, but I don't know much about accommodation in the area or getting tickets to the event etc.

Oh wow that's fantastic man! So I won't be the person doing the most miles :D

You can get your tickets from London to Nottingham here:

https://www.thetrainline.com/book/results?origin=12467098b25d58495241bae921c0f272e171c47f&destination=489c2c8ebd052d8d02a022940c53b10c739c318a&outwardDate=2018-11-23T10%3A30%3A00&outwardDateType=departAfter&journeySearchType=return&passengers%5B%5D=1988-10-01&inwardDate=2018-11-26T09%3A00%3A00&inwardDateType=departAfter

Not sure that the link will work but you can just use the site and pick the dates you want.

Also, I would deffo recommend using airbnb for the stay in Nottingham, I always use it and get great rooms for fair prices.

When you get to Nottingham - get a cab to the flat you rent or walk. If you decide to take a cab - the cabs on the train station probably wont rip you off, I've actually found them cheaper than UBER!

The Warhammer World isn't super far away from the city center but I'd definitely recommend taking a cab there.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!

Oh and post your wip! We want to see what you're bringing! :)

If you will end up with 16 golden demons this year - they should most definately give you a discount on the plane tickets to the UK Stefan!

I'm currently working on a squad entry, will also be looking at finishing a duel, single and open. All small projects but in the end I might end up with running out of time and dumping one of the projects..

I can promise, the power in those teeth were long gone!

I heard a rumour that painting power is stored in the wisdom teeth making you no longer to be feared ;-)

Anyway im currently working on an unbound entry, and have a single ready. will probably knock in a monster also.

will re-enter squad and vehicle so nothing exciting there.

Not sure yet if I'll find the time to finish a 40k project.
But if I find a cheap flight, I might go just to see your awesome works. And also to have some bulgogi at my fav corean restaurant in Notts and a burguer at Annie's  ;D
