Welcome to the Relicblade Weekend

Saturday is the competitive day. Four games, two lists, and a proper tournament to settle who is playing the sharpest Relicblade in the room. It is competitive, but it is still Relicblade, so the bar for the day is simple. Play well, play fairly, and give your opponent a good game. The organisers are here to help, so ask us anything. View the full Saturday Event Pack.

Sunday is the relaxed day. Three games, one warband, and a shorter day that finishes mid-afternoon. If Saturday was about settling the tournament, Sunday is about playing Relicblade for the joy of it.

New players are especially welcome. You do not need to have played Saturday, and you do not need to have played much Relicblade at all. Bring a warband you like the look of and we will help with the rest. The awards lean toward the things that make a good day rather than a hard ranking, so paint something you are proud of and be the opponent everyone wants to draw. View the full Sunday Event Pack.

If you are here both days, the Weekend recognition is yours to claim. An optional Narrative Competition runs across the whole weekend, with awards for your faction’s background and, afterwards, a write-up of its tournament. Details are in the separate Narrative Competition pack.
