What is a Throne Of Skulls event?

Throne of Skulls events are a unique event format found at Warhammer World and are very heavily weighted towards so-called ‘soft’ scores. These may not appeal to everyone, but they will be just the thing some players are looking for. 

The events are named after the iconic Throne of Skulls trophy awarded to the team that shows excellence in all aspects of the hobby. To become Throne of Skulls champions, teams must be skilled in the arts of generalship, army theme, painting, and making the game enjoyable for both themselves and their opponents.

Points are awarded for these areas. The only one you can directly control is how you play the game. The points for Favourite Army and Favourite Game will be given to you by your opponents at the end of the event.
