Warlord Games Day 10th Anniversary Live Blog

Ben & Lance have arrived and give you a tour of Warlord HQ where they are holding their 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash right now.

Come and join us as we get some interviews with designers and famous faces, plus plenty more.

We have talked with Andy Chambers about Blood Red Skies with a bit of a walkthrough of how to play coming later.

In the mean time however here's a look at some of the planes from the game. Tell us what you think!

We also saw this awesome desert war tabletop taking shape from some of the community members and clubs setting up games here.

This Bolt Action tabletop features a deadly battle across the sands with some amazing terrain and some wonderfully painted miniatures. One of the guys running it is also a Hobby God Bag winner!

There are loads of games being played here across all manner of gaming systems. With that in mind we give you a look at the hall in its entirey, which has been packed with people learning games and playing too.

Make sure to watch out for some close-ups soon as well!

Watch out for Weekender XLBS tomorrow where we talk about a big battle between Lloyd and Justin for Rorke's Drift.

And, to get you in the spirit here is a look at some of the Black Powder game being played out here today featuring the Zulus going up against the British across the battlefield.

Ben sits down on the stage with John Stallard who has been with Warlord from day one, discussing the great achievements that Warlord has gained over the past decade.

Plus what's to come in the next near future too!

As judged by John Stallard and company, there are some great looking entries for the Warlord Games Open Day Painting Competition. Here we have a nice mix of the Historical and some Sci-Fi too.

Take a look at the entries and let me know what you think of the ones they've shown off.

Have you ever sat down with a greasy breakfast and asked the question: If I could make a game for myself, what would it be? Andy's been there and he's joining Ben on the hot seat to discuss just how Blood Red Skies came to be.

What game would you love to make for yourself?

I got to take a look at a tabletop that I think Lance would enjoy with this one for Test Of Honour. We're certainly interested to see how this game plays more and delve deeper into it.

The colourful designs and the kind of tabletops it inspires is worth considering.

We take a look at the cool RC Tanks that are being driven around here at the event - there are a LOT of cool tanks here and plenty of people who like the idea of learning about the history of them too.

Have you ever driven around some of these RC Tanks?

Ben takes to the skies with Andy Chambers in his latest game, Blood Red Skies releasing soon in 2018.

Blood Red Skies is a tactical world war skirmish game with soaring planes raging destruction across the red skies of dusk.

Ben sat down with Rick Priestley to talk about how Beyond the Gates of Antares began and his future endeavours with it in a fantasy setting, dubbing it F'Antares.

Do you have any better names for Rick to choose from?

The bright and verdant look of Gates Of Antares is something of an awesome sight on the tabletop and very different from everything else out there.

With that in mind here's a look at some of the tables.

There were a few big games being played of Bolt Action featuring some awesome clashes as part of this town fight here.

Urban environments are always interesting to see played in as they bring into play tight fire lines and more.

We got a look at some awesome Pike & Shotte battles which featured the English going up against the Scottish.

This was being played out at a leisurely pace - as any wargame should - and looked like it's going to be a lot of fun for tomorrow.

In his first video interview, Peter Dennis sits down with Ben to tell us what it takes to create the concept to a beautiful piece of art that you see in every day boxes of your Warlord products.

Ben got to sit down with the guys behind Doctor Who: Exterminate! and talk about what the game is, what the future holds for the game and more.

Are you a proper Whovian who has been suckered in by this game?

Ben takes to the skies with Rich of Warlord Games to test his dog fighting tactics across the battlefield.

Can he swoop in the advantage, or will he plummet to land against Warlord themselves?
