Today a host of new Warhammer World event tickets have gone on sale including Battle Brother events for both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000, the Warhammer 40,000 Throne of Skulls in September and the Legendary Battlefield: Blackfire Pass.

Each event has a unique format, allowing you to find a way of playing that suits you. Where the Throne of Skulls is a solo event that enables you to pitch your army against multiple opponents over the course of a weekend, the Battle Brothers events are played with two players per side. It's a great opportunity to team up with a friend, colleague, family member or total stranger (it has happened) and take on other teams from around the world. Legendary Battlefields, on the other hand, are huge mass-participation events. These are the kind of games that most hobbyists want to play, but rarely have the time or space to do it. This Legendary Battlefield takes place in Blackfire Pass, one of the most contested regions in the Old World. Complete with secret missions, mysterious occurrences and huge monsters, this will be an epic battle to remember. You can order your tickets for these events here:

Also coming up soon on the 22nd and 23rd of June is the second part of the Vidar's Fate Campaign being run by Warhammer World. After the events that took place on the planet of Darkfall, the campaign has now moved on to Praedis Zeta, where a sinister alien presence has reared its ugly head.

What makes this event different is that in addition to your campaigning army you also have access to two campaign-specific units - the Astartes Alien Hunters and Genestealer Cultists, making this a great opportunity to get out your bits box and convert some unique miniatures. You can see the ones that Nick Bayton has created above as an example. You don't need to have attended the first campaign weekend to take part in the Praedis Zeta event, though if you are planning on taking part you will need to order your ticket soon as the event is only a few weeks away.

Warhammer 40,000 Campaign Weekend Vidar's Fate: Praedis Zeta

The Fang Painting Competition is held annually in many Games Workshop Hobby Centres across Northern Europe and is a great opportunity for painters to show off their latest creations. The other weekend the winners from Hobby Centres across Belgium and The Netherlands brought their entries to Amsterdam to take part in this year's finals. The quality of the painting was exceptional and we hope to show many of the winners in White Dwarf magazine in the future. Until then, take a look at the overall winning entry painted by Gert D'Hollander and, further down, the Armies on Parade winner painted by Peter Zuidgeest.

Gert's Duel entry is incredibly dynamic and really captures the feel of two warriors about to clash in close combat. The Space Marine is the Raven Guard character Shadow Captain Korvydae, while the Ork has been converted from the Savage Orc plastic hero miniature. The addition of an iron gob, a trophy Space Marine helmet and a 'uge choppa wiv whirry teef gives the model a more futuristic, though no-less savage, appearance. Of particular note are the tiny tattoos all over the Ork's body and the realistic weathering all over Korvydae's armour.

This year's Armies on Parade winner was incredible (a word I don't use lightly). When you spent 20 minutes looking at a display and go back for another look later then you know you've got a winner on your hands. Peter has put a huge amount of work into his board, which features Space Marines of the Emperor's Children Legion deploying for war on Isstvan V. Many of the models are Forge World Kits, including the impressive Storm Eagle Gunship flying above the Shrine of the Aquila at the back of the board. We hope to show more of Peter's entry in the future.

But that's not all. While one painting competition was being run in Amsterdam there was another being held in Stockholm. Here's the winning entry from The Fang Stockholm:

Robert Carlsson's entry was a classic Ork Nob - it was actually the exclusive miniature from Games Day 1998. Robert has captured the feel of this miniature perfectly: the bulging muscles on the Ork's arms and back are blended seamlessly, while the veins on its biceps and forearms stand out stark and raw from its green skin. Every intricate detail has been carefully painted, including freehand hazard stripes and checks on his slugga and shoulder pad. A look at the close-up picture of the Nobz face below (which is shown much larger than actual size) shows just how exceptional Robert's painting is.
