Yes, it's a ranked event, but entry level event. Hoping experienced players will bring low-powered Masters, or even try a Henchman led crew.

Maciej - will this just be you or all of the Polish players? Due to the low numbers the format has changed and I've just booked a table at the restaurant. If 4 extras I'll contact them and try to book a bigger table.

Saturday evening meal/social. I have created a separate post for this - please read and let me know ASAP if interested.

Due to the low numbers as people are staying over a wide area, I have now just booked a table. If you wish to be added then please contact me ASAP so I can try to book a bigger table.

Tables I’ve spent the last 2 weeks reviewing over 45 tables of terrain to ensure that they meet the highest standards for this premier event, and also the requirements of GG3 as much as possible. In addition, based on feedback from previous events, I have added templates where there are smoke/steam clouds for more accurate gameplay. Crews Just another reminder that all models must be fully painted (min. 3 colours) and fixed to bases. New title Masters must be appropriately represented by either the official model or a suitable proxy/conversion (that should be approved by the TO in advance). This also applies to any non-available or non-released model. If in doubt ask! Nightmare models may represent either Master Title, but not both. Therefore if you are running a Nightmare crew and want to use both titles then you will need to create a proxy for the second title. My proxy of Rollins, Tomb Delver is here https://uk-nationals.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-05-12-17.37.24.jpg as a reference. Goodies and Raffle Prizes I'm nervously waiting for the swag and remaining raffle prizes to arrive. Everything is on schedule at the moment, but it's always a stressful time until they are all here. Saturday Evening I've found what looks like a very nice Indian restaurant in Newark where we can have our own room. I will make a separate post about this shortly.

Rulespacks added, tickets can now be purchased, but please be clear which one you want to attend.

Rulespack added. Next update will be in early December when the 16 players are declared.

With less than 3 weeks to go things are mostly in hand. Items for the goodie bags have been ordered, and we have 2 new sponsors on board. KR Cases will be providing some bases and a backpack, whilst Sarissa Precision as providing some gift vouchers. With the delay to the new book Madness of Malifaux, models from this will not be allowed at this event, with the exception of Witness keyword which was released at Gencon. Event set up will take place between 2pm and approx 7pm on the Friday. Anyone available to help sort out tables, unload the van and set out terrain will be most welcome, but please contact me so I can let you know specific details. Don't forget that there is also a prize for the best-dressed player on the Saturday, so get your cosplay skills in play. I always enjoy seeing what people turn up as! Finally, there will be a category of "Fixed Leader" for those wanting a challenge, and this will have a specific trophy. Sign up for this at registration.

Running alongside the UK Masters are two 1 day events, which have the unique advantage of not including the top-ranked players! Saturday - EA - fixed leader Sunday - LOEH - fixed faction Cost £12.50 for each day. Initially limited to 28 30 players on Saturday and 32 on Sunday (plus those who have dropped from Masters).

This annual invitational event pitches the country's 16 top ranked players against each other in 2 days of battle. Day 1 consists of 4 pools of 4 players who will each play each other. The top 2 from each pool will then play a knockout event on day 2. This event will take place at Battlefield Hobbies in Daventry over the weekend of 28/29th January, and entry is free. Battlefield Hobbies are sponsoring the event, and the UK Nationals is providing some unique swag. Eligible players will be contacted at the end of November, with a pool draw in early December. This event will run alongside two 1 day tournaments at the same venue.

Important Update With the delay to the Madness of Malifaux book, models from this book will NOT be valid for this event, with the exception of Witness keyword as this was released at GenCon.

I'm up for this as it'll be my last event of the year. I can bring a table or two of terrain as well, of course. Still trying to get interest from my local players.

No, but I'll add it.

Tickets We now have 100 players, and as I need to now start spending the money, there will no longer be any refunds if you cannot attend. There will be 106 spaces, so there is still an opportunity to buy tickets. Crews Just a reminder that all models must be fully painted and fixed to bases. New title Masters must be appropriately represented by either the official model or a suitable proxy/conversion (that should be approved by the TO in advance). This also applies to any non-available or non-released model. If in doubt ask! Madness of Malifaux New characters from this book will be allowed if their official details are freely available 2 weeks before the event. You MUST have a physical card for each one (to allow free information share as not everyone uses the app), and suitable proxies must be used. Awards There will be awards for the following; 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/Last Places Best In Faction Polden (clogs) award for mid-table mediocrity/most draws Best Overseas Player Best Fixed Leader (register on the day) Best Painted Crew – gold/silver/bronze awards (Sunday lunchtime) Best Table (please let me know if you are entering) Best Dressed (cosplay, judged after round 2) Bar The bar will operate from around lunchtime to just before the end of the last game each day. Drinks will include beer, lager, cider & WKD plus soft drinks. Cafe Due to the minimum spend requirements of the venue, food and hot drinks will not be available. Food outlets are within a short drive, and I will add a map of them to the venue details page. Sponsors I am chasing a couple of sponsors so look for some new announcements shortly. There will be a charity raffle on Sunday for a select number of items, the remainder being given away by tombola on the Saturday. I am working on ways to ensure everyone gets something. Friday Set Up I will be at the venue from around 2pm and would appreciate some help to organise the venue and set up 50 tables of terrain, etc. Details to follow. I will be booking a table at a local pub if anyone would like to join me. Saturday Meal I shall be looking for a suitable local venue for a meal and announce separately.

That's a Sunday, right? Looking into attending with some of my locals.

Yes, same leader, but crew composition may change between games. Rulespack is included in the event details, or message me with any queries.
