There’s a competitive streak in many of us, even when it comes to pushing toy soldiers around on the tabletop. What is there to do if you want to test your mettle (or metal, as the case may be) against your fellow hobbyists? Well, you could always jump on the Games Workshop Tournament Circuit for 2008!

After a successful introduction last year, we have again teamed up with the organizers of some of the best tournaments across the country for this year’s Circuit. Once again, the Circuit gives generals a chance to connect their personal efforts at these great events throughout the year, building on their successes in Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, and The Lord of The Rings.

The Circuit for 2008
For 2008, the first event is in April and the final event is in November. Throughout the year you will be able to play in some of the coolest, wackiest, and fiercest competitions that are run in the U.S. We are lucky enough to have both Adepticon (Chicago, IL) and The Necronomicon (Orlando, FL) return to the Circuit this year and are proud to announce that we have been joined by the following well respected events: Quake City Rumble (San Francisco, CA), The Alamo (San Antonio, TX), and The Big Waaagh! (Memphis, TN) featuring the Hillbilly Invitational.

It is important to note that each event continues to be it’s own discrete affair, with it’s own winners and prizes and trophies. Individual tournaments will retain their own rules and flavor that regular attendees have come to know and love. Each event has it’s own spin on things, and we’re big fans of the diversity and enthusiasm supplied by each organizing team. Being a part of the GW Tournament circuit just means that if you happen to play at a few of these events, you could be eligible for extra prizes, fame, and glory!

Conclusion
We've listened to feedback from last year's players, forged partnerships with a number of great independent tournaments and are currently working to make our own GTs the best ever. This year's Tournament Circuit will be filled with a wide range excellent events and 2008 should be a great year for competitive Games Workshop Gaming in the US. We look forward to seeing you throughout the season.
