Steve D Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The WPS club challenge is an annual club event being held this year at Maelstrom games. We have got around to including Malifaux in the list of systems for the first time this year! If there is a good take up, numbers can be increased quite easily. You dont need to be a member of a club to participate, nor be part of a team that is challenging across multiple systems. It is one of my favourite events of the year, due to the friendly atmosphere and good mix of gamers and well worth attending for that too. The prizes are good too The main link is here: http://warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=96949 but have copied out the top bit with most of the relevant info. The 2012 WPS Club Challenge will be held on the 26 and 27 May at Maelstrom games. Tickets costs £38 each and include your lunch for both days, but you will need to arrange your own accommodation and dinner. You can arrange to have your Dinner at Maelstrom for your convenience, and further details will be given on this by us/Maelstrom in due course. When purchasing your ticket, make sure you tell us your club in the additional information to us. If you are buying a ticket for someone else, make sure to clearly indicate this. Full information is in the entry and system packs, and all of that can be accessed here: http://www.the-wps.com/club-challenge-2012.html System numbers are currently: WFB: 30, 40K: 30, H/WM: 18, BB: 18, MFX: 12, FoW: 18 (We also have a small reserve of 14 we can use to increase our systems depending on how tickets are selling, which can take us to the maximum capacity of 140). Hope to see some folks there! And a BIG thanks to James for helping to put the pack together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 £38 seems a little steep. I realise this includes food but even so. Standard Malifaux tournaments are around £15 for a 2 day event. This is over twice that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicpockets Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Is there a "non-lunch" option? I'm trying to be healthy and sausage rolls and toad in the hole ain't going to get me thin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just throw it up into an M&S bag when you're done mate. Entry does seem a bit steep though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 What you guys have to remember is that other games systems often charge similar, if not more, amounts. Some fantasy events charge in excess of £40 to cover all costs etc. I'm sure Steve will clarify soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 It's to keep it standardised across the systems. Malifaux is actually probably getting the best deal as the prize sizes are pretty much the same across the systems so it is the same prize wise as the bigger systems but with a much smaller pool of players. Plus we have to buy an all new Malifaux shield too. It's more for each club member to pay one price and then decide which system they want to play. And there are usually ways of getting free tickets, such as helping to provide scenery etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicpockets Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've committed to a team so will come irrespective of price unless they drop out. And I'll bring a carrier bag like James suggests, bulimic jokes FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Only in reference to your FB post mate. I'll add it to Team Harrogate's calendar and see if we can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverata Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 too many malifaux events in June i need to attend so i can't get involved with the all girl team. Which is a shame! £38 each is quite a lot i suppose :/ look forward to seeing how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicpockets Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Only in reference to your FB post mate. I got that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmdown Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 If the prizes for this aren't gold-plated and awarded by a harem of dancing midgets, then I'm not sure why a two-day tournament needs to cost £38. GL with the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve D Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi All, Just a quick heads up that if anyone else is planning to come to this one, please get your entries in asap otherwise the organising commitee will pull Malifaux due to lack of interest which would be a shame.
