Well less than an hour before start time and the car parks are beginning to fill up with TO’s, gamers wirh big battle army trays (the skirmish gamers can sleep in a little longer due to ease of transportation) the caffeine deprived (presently enjoying a dodgy servo coffee here…) and an army of legendary yellow shirts who ensure everything runs smoothly. ..

Are we there yet?…

Age of Sigmar had 200 players. Speaking to the convention organisers it was to the best of their knowledge the largest AoS tourney held anywhere in the world to date. Spare a thought for the Tournament Organisers. 200 players on over 100 tables over three days – now that is a logistical nightmare. Everything did seem to be running smoothly and people were having a great time.

…And there were so many pretty armies!
