Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Warhammer 40k Kill Team Premiere Tournament!
On Saturday, February 21st at 11 AM we’re hosting a Warhammer 40k Tournament focused on Kill Teams! Through three rounds of a Swiss style tournament, players will face off against each other in hour long rounds to determine who has the best strategies. With different Terrains, Missions, and more, players need to swiftly analyze the situation to seize victory! Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be posting more information on this page, as well as our social media pages, about the contents of the Tournament.
First, second, and third place players will receive commemorative Gold, Silver, and Copper Kill Team medals respectively! A leaderboard consisting of names and factions for each player will go up after the tournament. 1st and 2nd place will receive gift cards for Gnome Games. 1st place gets 50% of all entry costs, and 2nd place gets 25% of all entry costs! The top 6 get a commemorative Kill Team dice bag.
Registration opens at 10:30 AM. Round 1 will start at 11 AM. Entry is $10 per player. Players are expected to bring a Kill Team, dice, measuring tools, and two copies of their Kill Team Roster (one for themselves and one for their opponent).
Players can register ahead of time here on Best Coast Pairings!
What is Warhammer 40k Kill Team?
Kill Team is a skirmish game between small teams of specialist operatives in the Warhammer 40,000 setting. These elite squads engage in intense battles wherever the enemy – or a vital objective – is. For players looking for easy access assets without the cost, Kill Team: The App is free on IPhone and Android. It’s a reference tool in the palm of your hand where you will find all of the Kill Team rules, lite rules, mission packs and updates for free!
