Starting today, you can grab tickets for three Warhammer tournaments taking place in the South-Eastern United States. These events include the first official Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournaments using the latest editions of both systems. We’ll also have some exciting Warhammer animations to show off.
The US Open Series is gearing up to be one of the best tournament runs Games Workshop has ever put on, led by the events guru himself, Mike Brandt.
Mike: These events are not only an exciting return to in-person gaming but also an incredible opportunity for players across the country to join us for what promise to be fantastic tournament experiences in their own right. Incredible care is going into everything from the terrain, to how the round pairings are decided.
Each one of the events – held in Orlando, FL, New Orleans, LA, and Austin, TX – takes place at stunning destination hotels, with easy access to fantastic regional food and entertainment for the whole family. If you’re looking for shopping, though, we’ve got you covered at the events themselves.
Decorated captain of the US events squadron Ryan Schwarz is making sure there’s plenty to do as well as gaming.
Ryan: We’re going to bring a full Forge World store directly to you, plus a little extra. We’ll have everything from Warhound Titans to exclusive licensed products you’d have a hard time finding in the US, and great new releases among our core Citadel lines on offer. The best part is you don’t need a ticket to the tournament to stop by and shop, so don’t be shy – come say “hello”!
We’ll have two different ticket options for each Grand Tournament – a standard ticket and a premier ticket.
Ryan: We’ve loaded up the premiere ticket package to make it something really special. Just to mention a few things, you’ll get objective markers, an event t-shirt, a gorgeous dice tray, a dice pack, a drink tumbler, both of the exclusive event miniatures, a whole bunch of amazing licensed products like video games, a mystery Warhammer Faction pin from Koyo, and even an amazing Warhammer roleplaying game. It all comes together with an incredible Citadel Battle Figure Case. The overall value is well over $450, and we’ll be offering our premium ticket for a fraction of that.
Starting at 8pm Eastern Daylight Time, registration opens for all three events. Click on each and every one you’d like to attend to find the relevant Warhammer US Open Series 2021 ticket pages.
