Darklands Sherwood GT 2023

Postby Rob Lane » Thu Apr 06, 2023 10:16 am

Miercenaries!

The second Darklands Sherwood Grand Tournament will be played over the weekend of the 4th, 5th and 6th of August 2023 in the heart of Sherwood Forest!

Held at the renowned Clumber Hotel in the heart of Sherwood Forest, the Darklands Sherwood GT is truly a dream come true for all Miercenaries as not only will you get to meet the team and play five competitive games of Darklands: Second Edition upon beautifully created battlefields, you'll be able to see all of our painted miniatures in the flesh, purchase more to your heart's content and even join in the fun on Friday and Saturday night with a pub quiz, Q & A session and more! What more could you want of a Darklands weekend?

I'm in! How do I enter?
Simply purchase a Darklands Sherwood Grand Tournament 2023 Ticket (costing £75) from the Mierce Miniatures webstore and you're in! Be very quick though - we think this tournament will sell out fairly quickly as we are limited to forty players in total.

This ticket covers the cost of entry (which includes an A4 rules pack to keep) as well as two meals on the Saturday and one on Sunday, and if you would like to stay over at the Clumber Hotel we have negotiated a reduced rate for entrants at £125 per twin room per night - meaning, if you and a mate attend, it's only £62.50 per night for you (the code to secure this discount is simply LANE).

We think it's a pretty good deal and we really do recommend that you stay over on both Friday and Saturday nights as there'll be an open gaming session on Friday evening as well as a chance to speak to the team about everything Darklands and Mierce Miniatures. Don't forget, you'll be within Sherwood Forest, too, so you can surround yourself in the legend and home of Robin Hood himself if you want to make a holiday of it!

Tournament Overview
The Darklands Sherwood Grand Tournament 2022 will use the rules from the Darklands: Second Edition as well as the current Muster Rules and official kindred musters for each kindred. We will also be using any official Mierce Miniatures FAQs, errata and addenda that are released up to the host muster submission deadline, and of course any relevant rules presented in the rules pack. The full tournament rules are below, but here's a summary of what you can expect:

    - There'll be five games over the weekend, three on Saturday, two on Sunday, using 1,500 silver hosts that MUST be fully painted. There are NO exceptions to this rule, so get your paintbrushes out!

    - These games WILL use scenarios from the forthcoming Desolate Fields scenario book, one of which will be the standard Battle of Hæthfeld (the last battle on the Saturday night). The scenario book will be out soon, so get playtesting!

    - Players may only muster units from their kindred musters that have an Available status. However, we will accept conversions for miniatures that have the Coming Soon or Unavailable status, as long as ALL the components used are Mierce Miniatures components. This is a change from last year and is intended to allow people to use esoteric musters!

    - Miniatures (or miniature components) made by other companies are not allowed to be used.

    - Each player's host muster has to be submitted to the tournament organiser no later than two weeks before the tournament (so the 23rd of July 2023); this allows time to check each muster for errors and so that we can print out and laminate profiles for your hosts.

    - The battlefields and their terrain will be set at the beginning of the tournament; you must bring your own kindred terrain.

    - Battles will be scored using our Five Thousand Points system and both painting and sportsmanship scores will be added at the end to work out the various winners.

    - There'll be prizes for first, second and third place, as well as a wooden spoon for the lucky loser, best sportsman and best painted army. There'll also be various spot prizes throughout the event.

Hey all.
Hotel booked, Host list submitted, ticket purchased, Realm terrain ready, Host fully painted and movement trays ordered. I think I'm pretty much ready.

The Corrupted Butcher and his battle host will bring the pain.

Question on how you handled kindred terrain. The rules in 3.3.4.3.2 state that generals choose the terrain class but must determine the actual terrain feature by rolling a D10.

I just let people bring what they want within the terrain class really.
