GW’s New Organized Play Program

BoLS reported on the new prize swag that was sighted for GW’s fledgling OP program:

Further confirmation from a GAMA Seminar Atendee (via the BoLS Facebook Page)

Derrick Correia: “I am attending Gama. The details were light but there will be a tournament or campaign for 40k called tank shock. It will somehow involve a tank or monstrous unit.”

The Swag Sighted

There are a set of images doing the rounds on Facebook from the seminar, showing some early examples of swag:

So we can see in these pictures something about a “Tank Shock”, with “Engines of War” and “Armoured Escalation:Youngbloods” sub-categories.  The prizes are broken down into Gold, Silver and Bronze levels. You can also see “Tank Ace” and “Tank Hunter” pins, and some cardstock punchout tokens.

 

This is not just happening folks, it’s already way past the planning phase and juding by these pictures we may even see it rolled out by the slow summer time for this industry as well!
