Bad Dice are pleased to announce the launch of a brand new international rankings web site:- www.rankingshq.com.

Members of the Rankings HQ team have been developing and running rankings systems for the past 10 years however recently the focus has shifted to offering a more complete online service that players of games around the world can benefit from.

The result is an online international gaming portal where players of various game systems and different countries can have a single site that lists all the results, articles, clubs and tournaments they are interested in. Players are able to create and update their RHQ profile for free giving them the ability to network with other players instantly via the “friends” and messaging functionality as well as stay abreast of the happenings in their areas of interest via the event calendar and news feed engine.

The initial launch of the site includes Warhammer Fantasy for the United Kingdom, Australia, United States and New Zealand with Warhammer 40K and Flames of War game systems to be launched soon. There are also several countries preparing data that will be added to RHQ in the near future.

Development of Rankings HQ is ongoing and new functionality will be released on a regularly basis both planned and based on player feedback.

If you have existing results in Rankings HQ, you will be able to link it to your new profile during the registration process.

Head over to www.rankingshq.com, register and join in the fun.

I will be the administrator for the UK so if you have any problems just contact bencurry@rankingshq.com

Regards,

Ben Curry

The Warhammer Fantasy rankings have adapted and grown in the UK over the last 2 years. Each year the Irresistible Force and Bad Dice team analyse the previous year’s data along with the growth and trends of the scene to see whether any adjustments are required to better represent the following year’s tournament results. As the system matures there is less need to make changes and as a result the 2009 rankings system remained unchanged from the year before. However this year we have experienced a tremendous amount of growth in both the Australian and UK Warhammer Fantasy tournament scenes. I have held discussions with many players and TOs throughout 2009 and gleaned what I could from the countless emails I receive each year with suggestions and queries from players. My goal is to ensure the rankings system is as good a fit for the tournament scene as possible and for it to be a fair, just and equitable representation of a player’s achievements at tournaments they attend throughout the year. So after much consideration the following change will be incorporated into the Bad Dice Warhammer Fantasy rankings for 2010.

100 Rankings Points Threshold

With the increase in popularity of tournaments in general we find ourselves in the situation where more and more events are offering the maximum of 100 rankings points. In just a few years we have progressed from having 10 tournaments that reached the 50 player threshold in 2008 to the 14 we had in 2009 and now 2010 promises to have even more with alot of the current 50+ player events expanding to be closer to 100 players.

A bi-product of this trend is the reduction in the spread of scores for players across the spectrum and a positive skew of the distribution towards the top end. This trend will continue as tournaments around the country continue to grow in size. The feeling is a slight increase in the 100 rankings point threshold will relieve the pressure on the system and provide some room for the rankings engine to grow as the tournament scene does.

For 2010 the number of players required to enable the awarding of 100 rankings points to the winner will be set at 60. This will be in effect immediately following the conclusion of the 2009 tournament season.

The Masters are done and dusted for another year and we have a winner

Congratulations to Keith Wilkinson the 2009 Master

Games Workshop have released information on the Warhammer Armies: Beastmen

In the dark places of the world, the Beastmen have been gathering in number and in February they will unleash their rage on the Warhammer world with renewed vigour. A feral army of twisted monsters, the Beastmen have inhabitant the dark forests and wild places of the world since such places existed. To lead a Beastmen army is to field vast herds of braying, brutish beasts who worship Chaos in all its forms, and who fight to level the civilised world.

This will be the first time ever that the Beastmen have had their own, completely stand-alone, army list. The forthcoming Warhammer Armies: Beastmen is full of twisted monsters old and new, and an all-new lore of magic. The Beastmen are the original inhabitants of the Old World: in February 2010 they come to reclaim it from the hands of Men.
