Midweek Clash 1

2300 points - Thursday 1 August 2024 - £20 - LS28 5LY - Tickets Here

For folks who want to get the tournament experience at a less conventional timeslot, or just play more games, Leodis Games presents Midweek Clash!

This is a 2300 points event, using Clash of Kings 2024, held at the award-winning Leodis Games on Thursday 1 August. Our Kings of War events this year have been going from strength to strength, and we’re excited to add mid-week events to our schedule.

Besides the things you’ll need to play your game, players should bring a chess clock (which will be used each round), and a way to show their list to their opponent (printouts or an app are both fine). If this is your first Kings of War event, let us know, and we’ll give you further guidance on what you need.

Leodis Games can be found at:

Pre-Event and Rules

Lists are due by 18:00 on 28 July 2024, in the Mantic Companion format, on the Best Coast Pairings website. Allies aren’t permitted, and the Withdraw rule isn’t in use. Any FAQs or updates published before the due date will be in use for the event, and the TO has final say on anything published after. The TO for this event is Stephanie Berry. The TO won’t be eligible for prizes. The TO has final say on all rules queries. If you’ve got any questions in advance of the event, contact admin@leodisgames.com.

Kings of War armies are wonderfully diverse, and Leodis is happy to see a wide variety of model ranges. We’d ask that you paint your models, adhere to Preferred Model Count where possible, and ensure models are broadly representative at a glance. If the TO has to squint at it, it’s probably going to be difficult for your opponents! Contact admin@leodisgames.com with images of your models if you have any concerns about this.
