NEWS: Games Workshop Returns to Tournaments
Looks like Games Workshop is looking to get back into the tournament scene. Here’s the latest word from Jervis:
The Throne of Skulls is coming: Games Workshop’s system for Grand Tournaments promising great games, friendly competition and the chance to enjoy the Games Workshop hobby: over to Jervis Johnson to tell you more.
Our Throne of Skulls Grand Tournaments are all about having a great time playing one of your favourite games. Over the years they have proved to be a huge success, and so we are now planning to run more of them, in more places round the world, than ever before. As part of this process we’re updating the way we run our tournaments, to make it even easier for players to have the best time possible. Our aim is simply to get people together so they can play games, meet up with their mates and immerse themselves in the hobby for a day or two.
Tournaments are not just about fighting battles; there are lots of other things to do as well. They offer an unrivalled opportunity to make new friends and see some really great armies. You’re sure to come away with some new ideas for your own collection, and hints and tips on how to achieve the best effects. There are usually plenty of other activities to take part in too. You’ll find that a Throne of Skulls Grand Tournament is a fantastic way to celebrate all aspects of the Games Workshop hobby.
~Time will tell what this means for the US tournament scene, where the last year has seen the wargaming community step up to fill the void left by GW’s departure with a thriving IGT circuit including events such as Adepticon, BoLScon and scores of others. What’s your take?
