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.

Despite the Soulblight Gravelords leaning towards strong, elite units, Caldwell made great use of the horde elements of the army, with powerful characters to back up zombie and skeleton chaff.
