UK Nationals has literally just ended and what a tremendous day we’ve just had.
The event took place in Manchester, at the city centre FLGS Fanboy 3 (thanks to Dave & the team for the warm welcome & hosting the event), and was the culmination of a weekend of Dice Masters-ing with two final qualifying events taking place over Frida & Saturday.
We’ll get more detailed coverage posted in the coming days of the entire weekends play – but for now I’d like to congratulate Andy England for taking the top spot and becoming the UK National Dice Masters Champion 2017. Great job Andy – well done!
For now; here’s the team lists for all twenty teams (well… nearly… might have mis-placed one of the team sheets) from today’s Nationals event.
Note: Wizkids had initiated the ‘Half-Elf Bard – Masters Lords Alliance’ ban early for this event and players were notified at the big inning of March that this was to be the case. That’s why you don’t see any Bard hanging around…

Congrats once again to Andy E.
cheers for putting this post together Chris: a labour of love! thanks for the game too. yet another gruelling slog to the death. enjoyable though! well played Johnny Ellis for still bringing a Bard in protest (maybe?). P.
LOL yeah – I’ll always go down swinging until the bitter end!
I noticed Johnny’d Bard and had a little chuckle to myself. TBF to Johnny – it’s a pretty decent game-text long overlooked.
Lite playing rapscallion that he is!
