On Saturday, September 11, Highground Gaming hosted a small group of dedicated Age of Sigmar players for a teaser of our large-scale Grand Tournament in December. Eight players met up to test their mettle against each other and against the evolving meta-game of Age of Sigmar 3.0

1st Place

The winner of our inaugural event was Detroit Wargaming Club’s Michael Caldwell, running a Soulblight Gravelords Vykros Dynasty list. With three wins, he took the gold medal despite scoring one less point than the silver medal Seraphon list.
