2010 brings a bunch of new events for all you 40k fans (and fantasy). Currently, Games Workshop is strongly promoting its Warhammer Hobby Camps which will be taking place throughout the year.
A pretty awesome time to be had by all.
The aim of these 5-day camps is for gamers to meet up and assemble, paint and game with a new army or force with and against like-minded hobbyists. Participants are set to learn new skills, strategies and techniques in assembling, painting and using their miniatures. Coaches will be present throughout the course of the camp to help out everybody. All the tools, paints, brushes and other equipment will be provided.
These events will be taking place at Games Workshop’s hometown, Nottingham, England, at Warhammer World. Both Warhammer Fantasy and 40k are supported at these Hobby Camps.
The whole concept sounds like a good deal of fun. Going away for 5 days with like-minded gamers, starting your dream army from scratch and having help at hand to build, paint and use it to the highest standards sounds like a pretty good time to me.
The cost of a single Hobby Camp ticket is £186 (roughly $290). This might seem expensive, but you get a lot of good stuff for the price:
- A Warhammer battalion or a Warhammer 40,000 Battleforce .
- A large army carry case to carry all of your new force in.
- A fully cooked lunch (+ drink and dessert) each of the five days of the camp.
- A scenery lesson on the Warhammer World Hobby bar.
- 5 days of hobby activity, including modelling, painting and gaming with a fellow hobbyists.
- Expert supervision by a team of Hobby Camp Coaches.
The dates for the Warhammer Hobby Camps in 2010 are the following:
- 29th March to 2nd April
- 5th to 9th April
- 26th to 30th July
- 2nd to 6th August
