Whet Your Games Day Appetite

Games_day_miniature_08smside_2Each year for Games Day we produce an exclusive miniature, which is included in the price of your Games Day ticket and only available with the ticket. 

We currently have this year's exclusive miniature on display in the Citadel Miniatures Hall, as well as a selection of miniatures from previous years. It's the perfect chance to come and have a look at the Space Marine Captain and his thunder hammer to prepare some painting ideas for when you get your miniature and Games Day ticket.

Thunderhawk and Dark Angels land in Miniatures Hall

Dsc04976Now on display in the Citadel Miniatures Hall is Owen Rees' Dark Angels army and his wonderful army centerpiece, a Thunderhawk Gunship. About 20 inches long we could only just fit it the cabinet! Owen recently won best painted army with this force and once you see it, you'll understand why - the underside of his Thunderhawk is as well painted as the top, and our mirrored cabinet lets you see all the detail. 

The army is on display until September and currently we also have Paul Mansfield's Empire Army and Colin Parson's Bretonnians, but only until August 15th!

School League Finals

The spectators mucked in with the gamers, and the atmosphere in the Gaming Hall was one of sportsmanship and having a laugh. Thanks to all those who helped, and for those  all important results and photographs see the album on the left.

Silver Hammers and Bretonnians Hit Citadel Miniatures Hall

Paul_mansfields_army_047_3Now on display in the Citadel Minaitures Hall are two excellent guest Warhammer armies. Paul Mansfield's Empire Army and Colin Parson's Bretonnians.

Paul is a hobbyist from Derby and this army has been nominated for Best Painted at every Warhammer Grand Tournament at both the heats and finals for the last two years. Paul's army is full of conversions like this standard bearer and knights, all of which bear their iconic silver hammers. The piece truely worth seeing is his War Altar - an Arch Lector atop a War Wagon pulled by zealous Flagellants.

Colin painted the Bretonnian army for another hobbyist, who believes that they deserve to get out and get Colin some recognition for his detailed painting. The army is composed to showcase all the Bretonnian forces, from disposable peasants through to spotless Grail Knights. Attention to detail makes each miniature a minor masterpiece - designed and painted specifically to look good when in rank the massed army is breath taking.

Out on display until August - don't miss this chance for converting and painting  inspiration.
