Badab 2005 - The Venue

Home Gallery Articles Contacts Links

In May 2005, four club members travelled up to Warhammer World in Nottingham to take part in The Badab War, one of Games Workshop's Dark Stars Campaign Weekends for their Warhammer 40,000 game system.

Warhammer World is a tremendous wargames venue, and a credit to Games Workshop. 

Here are a few pictures to give a feel of the location and facilities available.  Thanks to Clive Dudley and John Orange for providing the pictures.

Warhammer World is a very impressive set of buildings in the Lenton area of Nottingham.  At left, this is the entrance to the offices section of the site, complete with iconic statue of a Space Marine.  At right, Games Workshop images are present on most of the buildings.

 
Here is the players' entrance to Warhammer World and the venue's shop.
At far right is the entrance to Bugman's Bar, which was our exit each evening...

     

Here are a few pictures of the main gaming area, showing some of the dozens of game tables, all well-supplied with excellent scenery.  The large arches at the far end of the hall lead to the shop. 

     

There were some very nice set-piece scenery items on display around the hall.  Below are a few that caught our photographers' notice. 

 

 
     

Of course, there was a well-stocked shop on site.  Decorated in the same Late Medieval style as the rest of the hall, this was everything a Games Workshop should be: lots of stock, painting tables, gaming tables and plenty of room to move around. 
Plus, with the warehouse just around the corner, anything that wasn't on the shelves could be fetched for you, and be ready by the time your game finished!
