Howdy gamers! The new edition of Warhammer 40K drops this Saturday (6/20) and our two newest employees Avery and Brother Cardboardius are excited to start playing already. Alas, we must wait, but if you haven't already, pre-order a copy of the Armageddon launch box, or even the Chapter Approved 26-27 mission deck, the core rule book, combat patrol companion, Dominatus campaign deck, or even the official terrain area packs! The non-launch box products will release 6/27. Message us here, on our discord, or call the shop at (763) 315-3821 to claim your copy before they are all spoken for!

Congratulations to our new store champion Stephen Crawford, who fought through 3 games of 40k and beat 13 other players to earn the coveted title and all prestige that comes with it. Pictured are the top 3 from the event: Gil Myvett who took 3rd with his Night Lords (left), Gene Richtsmeier who took 2nd with his Black Legion (center), and the new champ himself Stephen Crawford with his Ultramarines (right).

In other news, we will not be holding a grab bag or mini mayhem for the month of June to let folks settle into 11th edition. We will see you wonderful tournament gamers in July!

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:
Lighter Interactive

$250:
Deadly Print Studio
Eons of Battle
The Army Painter
Tower Games
Level Up Games

$100:
Listforge
Dreamers Vault
The Forge

If you'd like to participate here's a link to the website with a link to the form!"

Howdy Gamers,
We have recieved news from our distributors that the shipment from WotC containing the Codex Bundles for Strixhaven has been delayed. None of our distributors have any idea when the regular bundles will be in either as they still havent recieved those too. We deeply apologize for this whole kerfuffal and can assure our community that if you have made a preorder for either product before today, it will be honored. We will update as the situation progresses.

Happy gaming,
The Phoenix Games Team
