Treadheads get ready for some hobby fun with the new Tank Shock Organized Play league that’s rolling into a local store near you.

To kick off the Tank Shock event stores are being encouraged to do a parade day (like a mini armies on parade) for any items players may have picked up to play in the league, and a seperate building activity that feeds into the linked events for the actual Tank Shock missions themselves.

Tank Shock Organized Play Synopsis:

Each kit contains:

  • 4 Missions of various engagement levels
  • 1 Painting Competition
  • 1 In-Store Building Activity
  • 3 sets of participation certificates for the hobby-centric  Engines of war build, and the Armored Escalation Painting events (one set for veterans and Youngbloods alike)
  • Badges (the pins pictured below)
  • Tank Shock Tokens (the punch token cards for vehicle damage, etc.)

Tank Shock will be a series of four linked events that look to culminate in a full on tank battle tournament played out 2 vs. 2 on 4×6 tables.  This is not just happening folks, it will be in stores this spring!

The cost for the kits ($500 or $1000) is a package deal of merchandise at a BIGGER discount level than normal on a selection of Tanks and other vehicles to stock the shelves for this quarterly event.

 

Are you down for painting, building, or BOTH? Leave it in the comments folks – let’s see what everyone thinks about the new details!
