$100 minimum in store credit for prize support
So regardless of how many people show up, the prize will be at least $100 split among the four prize winners! Of course if more that 10 people show up, then the prize pot goes up as well!
All Stronghold Assault fortification are allowed. If taking a fortification larger than an aegis line, simply remove one piece of terrain from your table half if your fortification comes within 3″ of it. If more than once piece of terrain conflicts with your fortification, please see a judge for placement.
Due to recent tournament events the following rules are now also in place.
Each game must go at least four rounds, or else each player will receive a 0 for their score that round. Remaining times are called out throughout the round, and players will be encouraged to finish at least four turns. If your game continually going slow, please call over a judge for help.
Army lists must be produced by a validating roster program. (i.e. Army Builder, Battlescribe, etc.) and printed in a readable format for the judges. If you need to use a program to construct you list, please get here early on the day to use our Army Builder program.
Armies are not normally legal for play unless their physical book is in print for a least one month prior to the event.
You must also have a physical copy of the army book(s) or the eBook equivalent (no pirated copies here please) you are fielding with you during the event for reference!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits started with Rob trying to stay motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects and share his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
Scale model hobbyist in the 80s, miniature wargamer, and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy since 5th Edition, but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of both pewter and resin.
