It’s a busy time of year for your favourite Warhammer games, with a host of new rules coming to tabletops in the coming weeks.There’s a whole new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar arriving with the launch of Skaventide on July 13th, and the next competitive season of Warhammer 40,000 is imminent with the Chapter Approved: Pariah Nexus Mission Deck on preorder now.
That all means that the US Open Series event in Tacoma, Washington, which starts on July 19th will be an extra-exciting affair for all competitors, as the very freshest rules will be in full effect. Here’s everything you can look forward to…
The Tacoma US Open will be the first major event to use the rules from the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The launch box will be in stores just days before the doors open – but rest assured, our team of top judges are already well-versed in the new rules. If you want a chance to play in this exciting tournament, make sure you get your tickets here.
Not to be left out in the cold, fans of Warhammer 40,000 will be playing the brand-new missions from the Pariah Nexus Mission Pack and Tournament Companion. With over 450 players already registered, only a limited number of tickets remain for this event.
If you prefer your battles larger and your scale smaller, Tacoma will also feature the first US Open Legions Imperialis event. Shatter the opposition by snagging your ticket here.
And for skirmish fans, we have the largest Kill Team event at any US Open event to date. There are only a few spots left for this 128-slot event, so get in on the action while tickets are still available.
But it’s not all battlefields and butchery — those with an affinity for the arts will also be included.
We’ve partnered with Cult of Paint’s multiple Golden Demon-winning artist Andy Wardle to create an incredible experience for those looking to take their painting to the next level. This is a rare appearance for Andy in the US, and limited tickets for the two-day Academy of Paint event can be purchased here.
That’s not the only hobby class on offer – check out the full event collection here. There are Masterclasses for both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar led by veteran Warhammer instructors Dan Ozborne and Will Hahn, and the always popular Hobby Challenge. Or you can just drop in and say hi and paint a free miniature at our Paint & Take, which is available to all ticketed attendees.
You can also come by and check out the fully stocked event store, full of exclusives including the two latest event miniatures, objective markers, terrain markers, gaming packs, shirts, art, and mountains of miniatures.
We’ll see you in Tacoma between the 19th and the 21st of July!
