Don’t miss this exclusive coverage from the very first GW US Open Tournament Series, taking place in Orlando Florida.
Ganes Workshop’s US Open Series is bringing three events to major cities of the South East in 2021!
From the looks of it this event did not sell out, so if you are interested in attending either of the next two events in New Orleans or Austin later in the year, chances are you’ll have plenty of time to pick up tickets. Perhaps right up until the day of the event even!
Warhammer Community posted where you can buy the tickets and more info on the events, including the swag you can score. The three events are the first GW tournaments in a while, for both Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40k. The event was first announced at Warhammer Fest Online, so hopefully, you had enough time to make plans for it. It is being called the US Roadshow that will feature AoS and 40k tournaments in three cities, Orlando (this weekend), New Orleans, & Austin.

Official Images From Orlando US Open
The official GW Twitter posted a series of images from the event showing hobbyists, the venue, a dope-looking Space Marine statue, and what appears to be a Pop-up, fully stocked, Warhammer store!
Looks like there are plenty of people, and plenty of space for everything Warhammer whether it’s playing it or buying it!
Now let’s take a look behind the curtain a bit with some exclusive non-professional reader-submitted images from the event!
A real-life-sized Space Marine model is always awe-inspiring!
From this view, the hall looks to hold at least enough tables for 120 players or so, with plenty of room for armies and bodies!
