Your Hobby Place Alexandria League play
A New SEASON OF LEAGUE PLAY FOR SUMMER-FALL 2024!
30k League Play at Your Hobby Place moves from the underground confines of Cthonia to the war-ravaged surface of the Garmon Cluster for the summer and fall of 2024!
From July through November 2024, a news season of league play for 30k will take place on the second Sunday of each month at Your Hobby Place in Alexandria, Virginia, 1-6 pm. The league is designed for friendly competition and to encourage new players. The event organizers are Stephen D. (Victory Gamers) and Ben B. (The Thirteenth Legion: DMV).
League play will be based on the Onslaught Campaign System and the Garmon Bulwark Campaign rules of the Battle for Beta-Garmon campaign book. The notable exception is that league play will not use the Decisive Battle rules, including the Seize the Moment Rolls, from the Onslaught Campaign System and players may change Allegiances during the campaign.
All games will be played at the 3000-point level using the Core Missions in the Battle for Beta-Garmon campaign book. Players will determine Core Mission by mutual agreement on the day of the battle. Apex Missions may be used at the end of the summer-fall season, to be decided later. A different army list can be taken on any given Sunday. There is no need to submit lists prior to games, but players are responsible for the legality of their lists.
Although the Battle for Beta-Garmon campaign featured White Scars, Shattered Legions/Fangs of the Emperor, Sons of Horus, World Eaters, and Emperor Children, any army may be played as part of league play.
There will be two teams for the league – Loyalist and Traitor. Although either the Loyalist or the Traitor side will be crowned as the winner at the end of the summer-fall season based on the total number of battles won, participants will be allowed to either play on one side the entire season, or to switch sides from month to month, in order to try out new armies or to balance out the number of Loyalist and Traitor players each month. For example, if every player that shows up for a month’s event are technically Loyalists, half of them will be assigned to be Traitors for the event. That Ultra-Marine force is actually Alpha Legion in disguise! So, the league is not a hard competition or necessarily balanced. But that’s okay - the main goal is to have fun and play games after all!
Please see the league primer (link below) for a more complete guide to league play, including the use of Strategems, Character Casualties, and Battlefield Achievements. The Mortification Index and March of the Angel Garmon Bulwark Optional Rules will also be used and are described in the document.
How to Participate
Sign up to play on any given league Sunday using this SignUp Genius page. The organizers of the event will reserve tables through Your Hobby Place, so there is no need for players to reserve tables themselves. There will space for up to four two-player games on any league day (that is, 8 players maximum per day). You do not have to play every league event. There are no paint requirements for the league in order to encourage new players and models, but awesomely painted armies will be appreciated and held in high esteem.
