Hi all,
not sure if I'm allowed to post this on here but I'm sure its always better to know about tournaments.
There's a bi-monthly tournament happening in Northampton at Wargames Workshop (not GW, its an independant shop). Each tournament in the year is counting towards a champion for the year too.
The next event is on 17th June and it is 1500 points.
There is a trophy for the event too.
There is an entrance fee but its cheaper if you book a place in advance.
Details for the tournaments are at
