This tournament is intended to be a gathering of great people of all abilities, to learn and share their knowledge and gameplay and enjoy this fantastic game! 

As in previous years, the event will also focus on raising some money for a great cause! 

This event page provides all the information and updates you need to play in this friendly, chaotic, fast-paced 250 point, good vs evil tournament! The tournament is inspired by the old battle companies expansion, using small skirmish-style games and themed scenarios, to test your abilities with lower numbers on the board. 

There may be a few twists and turns along the way as the Battlescrolls make their return! This will be a GBHL80 event! 

This year's event will encourage more Battle Company style games with the following list restrictions:

- Only heroes that have a base profile cost of 85 points or below are allowed. Heroes are allowed to pay for wargear that takes them over this limit. 

- Armies requiring specific generals can substitute that general for a hero of the allowed points limit. Army rules based on a mandatory general carry over to the new leader.  

- Men of the West is Not allowed. 

- Siege weapons are not allowed. 

- Any special rules that allow for a Free Heroic combat every turn will become a Once Per Game ability. 

- Legacy is allowed at this event. 

Tickets for this event will cost £20 and will go on sale at 9am on Saturday 18th April.
