Sheds of the GrimDark

Sheds of the Grimdark are pleased to announce their first team tournament; The South Wales 40k Team Tournament 2019.

This event will reward cunning tactics, high standards of painting and fair play. A 4 player team format is utilised, allowing generals to play to their strengths and mask their weaknesses.

It is also ITC registered and we will be submitting scores for individual team members.

The rule pack is available here:

Hope to see you on the battlefields soon!

A geeky weekend to celebrate Stoo’s birthday, which culminated in an enormous 5 way Apocalypse battle! Noone’s sure who out of us won (it was the imperial forces that prevailed overall), but it’s pretty clear that the real winner of the day was Games Workshop.
