Competitive Innovations in 9th: Peak Warhammer pt.1

James "One_Wing" Grover - March 1, 2023

How about those Arks of Omen, eh? People sure do seem to love them. This past weekend is, I think, the biggest for tournament play we've ever had other than LGT or LVO weekends, and terrifyingly that's not counting the 300-player...

Competitive Innovations Extra: CaptainCon 2023

James "One_Wing" Grover - February 10, 2023

Look, what can I say, Gregbot's auspicator was on the blink (or possibly it overloaded when Dark Angels won an event) and we missed the biggest non-team event of the week, CaptainCon. For my part in these crimes, I...
