Howdy Gamers,
We were asked by our good friend Nathan Hoekstra to help spread the word about a two-day Warhammer40K tournament he is hosting in July. If you haven't heard the word, I think it's best to hear it from the man himself:
"Hey! I've been working hard designing, printing, and painting the 100 or so new sets of terrain (see pictures!) that we'll need for Northern Maelstrom 2026 on July 25 and 26 in Medina, MN! The 11th edition changes announced by GW a few weeks ago regarding terrain came as a bit of a shock, but in the end I think the new tables will be quite striking and immersive while still fitting standard templates for a competitive experience.
If you're interested, Northern Maelstrom is a 6 round, 2 day, 11th edition 40k GT in July! We have over $7,000 in prizes lined up from all sorts of amazing and generous sponsors:
$1,000:
Snot Goblin Gaming
The Source Comics and Games
Top Level Wargames
Phoenix Games
Mystic Fortress Games
$500:
