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 all gamers, but may be just the thing that some players are looking for. 

The events are named after the iconic Throne of Skulls trophy awarded to the player who shows excellence in all aspects of the hobby. To become a Throne of Skulls Champion, a team needs to be skilled in the arts of generalship, army theme and/or painting and be able to ensure that they make the game enjoyable for both themselves and their opponent. 

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