So what’s new?
Warmachine and Flames of War were popular in their first year and have grown to be all weekend long event tracks. So all you fans come on down and spend the entire weekend with us!
Our Warhammer Fantasy Grand Tournament is now 2500 points with 2.5 hour rounds. With the changes in 8th edition, close combat tends to take more time than before and last longer as well. Coupled with the frightening changes to the Magic Phase, increased time limits just seem necessary.
Our Narrative tables will be bigger with more players per table. We are doing the Badab War using the fancy new Forgeworld Books, so get your marines ready for a Civil War in the depths of space and across blasted battlefields of the Maelstrom. Our second theme is the Armageddon War, and that means everything from Grey Knights, to IG, to Space Wolves, to all the Orks and Ruinous Powers we can muster. Its gonna be an Apocalyptic blast – oh and don’t forget about all the flyer, superheavy, and Titan goodness!
The 40K Mirror Match is a concept we’ve all had for a long time – if we all played the same list, who would win? We’ve created a Space Marine list that gives players a chance to find out who is the best with it on Friday. Missions will be very simple, and the winner will be strictly determined by winning games. This event is limited to 32 players, with everyone playing the first 4 games and the finals being for all the marbles.
