December the 9th and 10th is going to be held in Milan the annual BB Italian Championship, called The Tilean Cup.

This year, for the first time in history, GW Italy is going to organize a two days tournament and they're selling the tickets via mail order and publicising it on their web site... that's the first time a Specialistic Game is having this kind of treatment in Italy, normally reserved only for Warhammer or 40K.

More than this, they also created the Tilean Cup itself, and I think it's really nice. What do you think of it?

Cannot tell now, since I only saw like you just this photo... but next week I'll tell you all about it!

The cup will always be kept by GW Italy and every year the name of the winner will be inscripted on the base. The first three of the tournament will get a smaller copy of it (nearly 2/3 of the real cup size) as prize

I'm really happy of how much BB is improving in Italy... and the Eurobowl victory is helping a lot!

I forgot to post the photos of the finished thropy... here they are, directly from the winner's house (DarkSteve):

I like it... the only thingh I don't like a lot is the idea of making it full of blood with a dice sinking in the liquid... having the whole cup painted in gold it's difficult to understand the (nice) idea and the final result is that the cup seems closed on the top with just a strange thing coming out
