From the early days of Warhammer Invasion, Louisville has strived to have a tournament scene. This means league kits, surplus of league kits. Our group has tons of Warhammer swag we are dying to give away for one more glorious tournament!

I'll get official numbers on everything as the date approaches, but here is a sampling of what will be there:

• 16 Alternate Art Zealot Hunters from GenCon
• 3 unopenned League Kits (Season 1, 2 and 3)
• Mini Capital Boards
• Play mats
• Plastic Hammer tokens
• Plastic Burn Tokens

All this with only a $5 entry fee. We already have upwards of 7 coming down from Indianapolis to play do you think you guys could make it? We will make it worth your while in swag!

We are definitely going to have Regionals again next year! If you came up with another 5 guys the numbers at the next Louisville Regional would rival Nationals and Worlds!

Definitely contact me as 2014 Regional season approaches and maybe we can arrange sleeping accommodations at one of or houses.

I'm not 100% clear on what you are saying.

Congratulations to Robert Graves who just recently seriously bought into the game and dominated the 12 person Regional with his Chaos Brayherd deck!

We had hoped to get to 20 players at this event, but there were several last minute conflicts that came up for several players.

I know what you guys must be thinking, "What another Brayherd deck takes the win?!?" What can we say, in all card games there is a rock paper scissor component to match-ups and at least in this area, Brayherd reigns supreme.

We are getting back to the basics. No fancy themes or formats, just down and dirty standard tournament rules.

I just found out we have another league kit! Not one of the crappy poster ones either, this is for another dwarf play-mat!

@jimmyrut - I sent you a pm. Hope my advice was helpful.

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/1/3/2/600_94284882.jpeg

This format was harder to build with than I thought it would be. I ended up winning with a dark elf negative hit point/mill deck.

The thing that helped me more than anything I think were the several 5 and 6 drops I ran. This gave me a pretty big advantage as the format vastly limited unit and support destroying effects.

Overall this was a pretty fun variant!

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/3/b/c/600_87745532.jpeg

you ever get indecisive when deck building? Does that crazy High Elf combo wake you up at night with anxiety, knowing it would work if you could only squeeze in 1 or 2 more cards?

If so this is the tournament for you! In this format only 1 copy of each card is allowed! All other rules of the game still apply.
