TUCSON’S BIGGEST AGE OF SIGMAR LEAGUE HAS RETURNED: This summer, make Heroes & Villains your home to learn Games Workshop’s fantasy flagship alongside other new players AND earn your shot at a portion of the OVER $500 in prize support up for grabs in this league! Here’s how it works:
For each week of this league, you will be scheduled ONE game to play with another player in the league. Your first few matches will be simplified small scale battles. This will give you loads of time to ask questions and learn everything to prepare yourself for full scale battle!
You will start with 500 points and learn the bare basics of the game – the different phases of combat, how many dice to roll when defending and attacking, and how your models interact with the battlefield! Staff will be on-hand to ensure your learning experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible!
Every two weeks, you will be adding 250 points to your recruiting allotment! Grow your army alongside your competitors! This means you will start with 500 points, then 750, 1,000, 1,250, and finally, by the end of the league, you’ll have a full 1,500 point list!
One week after the final matches are played, we will be hosting a closing ceremony where over 500 dollars of prize support will be handed out to winners of various accolades!
If you are ready to conquer the Mortal Realms for your own, come by our Player's Meeting on July 6th! Staff will be available to show you how to build your miniatures, and walk you through the basics of the game! Just a few days later, on the 9th, the League will begin! After 10 weeks of games, final results will be due on September 16th with the ultimate prize ceremony taking place on September 21st.
RULES:
While we do not have a traditional entry fee associated with this league, your eligibility will be contingent on supporting the store with periodic purchases. In order for a model to be legally declared for use in your list, you must have purchased it via Heroes and Villains at any point after June 1st, 2025. Be sure to register your purchases with a Heroes and Villains staffer to ensure their eligibility!
This league will be using Longshanks, a tournament hosting website, in order to provide pairings and score matches. Please note that your eligibility for prize support will not solely be based on your Win/Loss record, but many additional factors as well! There will be prizes for several different honors you can claim throughout the course of the league!
Pairings will be posted two at a time. Every two weeks, you will get two pairings made for you on the same day. You are then able to play either of your two next opponents whenever it is convenient for both parties. For instance, on July 9th, you will get both your week 1 and week 2 pairings. You will then have until July 22nd to report your wins and losses for the 2 week period, but feel free to report them as soon as you finish each game!
Our store Discord will be an invaluable tool during the league. Please make sure you join if you’re playing! This will be the best way to reach out to fellow members of the league, and will be especially helpful when coordinating times for yourself and your opponent to schedule your matches!
We will also be using the Discord at the end of the league to poll players on who they believe was the best sport throughout the league – the most voted player will win a prize, but in order to win, they must meet two extra criteria: they must have played all of their games, and they must have voted for someo ne else for the award. Being a good sport could mean offering to shake your opponent’s hand after a tough match, being graceful in defeat and victory, helping out where you can, and just overall being a good person to your fellow players.
Things happen and sometimes you may not have the time to get a match in with your opponent: whether it’s a scheduling conflict or you have gone out of town, it’s incredibly important that you reach out to your opponent and a Heroes & Villains staffer and let them know you won’t be able to play. We have a 2-strike policy on “ghosting” your opponents – if you “no-call-no-show” twice during the league, you will be removed from the league, and your opponent will be assigned an auto win.
In addition, all players who participate and finish all of their games will receive a commemorative prize to reward their attendance and commitment to the league!
