Throne of Skulls 40k Warhammer World Event
The Warhammer World team are always coming up with new ideas for their events, and for December they’ve made a revisions to the Throne of Skulls format. These are casual matched play events, designed to reward enthusiastic gamers with great looking armies who display a healthy helping of sportsmanship.
From now on, each event will have a special rule to differentiate them from more competitive matched play events. First up is the Rule of One, which debuts at the Warhammer 40,000 Throne of Skulls event in December. With this rule in effect, players can only pick one of each datasheet when building their armies – not the usual three.
If you want to play a more relaxed tournament, then this is for you. It rewards more for the hobby and sportsmanship.
Dungeon Bowl Tournament
Descend below the Colleges of Magic and battle it out in a single day Dungeon Bowl tournament designed for new players, veterans, and people who just want to show off their hobby and gaming skills. You’ll duke it out across three games, doing your best to score the most Dungeon Points, earn that coveted Favourite Game vote, and perhaps even triumph in the Painting Competition!
If you’re near Warhammer World and want to show off your team and play a few games, these sound like a lot of fun!
These are the newest tournament announcements from Games Workshop, but let’s check out the rest of the upcoming events you can still play in!
Fall Tournaments

Take part in Warhammer World’s premier Blood Bowl tournament this October – the Full Beard Cup! It’s a weekend full of touchdowns, fouls, hail-mary passes, and bone-shattering blocks. You’ll have a team draft budget of 1,200,000 gold pieces and five thrilling games to play across two days. You can also participate in the Full Beard Pub Quiz, and enter a Best Team Painting Competition.
It’s a full weekend of Blood Bowl; if you play the game, they will have something for you!
Then there’s the streamlined Blitzing Sevens Cup, which takes place at Bugman’s. This slimline version of Blood Bowl is no less lethal, but ensures that four games and a painting competition can be as neatly tucked into a day as a ball carrier into a solid box formation.
7’s is a really fun way to go play the game, and since this is a one-day tournament, you might as well break out the minis and go!
