We recently announced the formation of the Unified Tournament Circuit, a new regional circuit for Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar which covers the area between Virginia and Newfoundland. In case you missed our announcement, you can find it here.

AoS standings are Live

Before we dive into the results this week we have a bit of news! UTC standings for Age of Sigmar are now live (and no longer mingled in with 40k results). You can view them over on the UTC standings page – just click on the “Age of Sigmar tab,” then congratulate Thomas Ling and the rest of the Tough Crowd team for currently being on top of the standings… before you vow to unseat them by enacting your future reign of terror.

This past weekend had two GTs and three RTTs:

• The Capital Clash Spring ’23 (40k)
• The Really Good GT (AoS)
• Warhammer 40k RTT: 40Rock (40k)
• GTA40k Spring Clash (40k)
• YHP Alexandria AoS RTT (AoS)
