UKTC events are a competition, but they’re also friendly, fair, and a celebration of the hobby.

Our requirements are listed in our policies and procedures documents you can find them here . This article takes a look at the Battle Ready  standard using Games Workshop’s own guidance ( here ), then explains how we apply that standard , and what the

The headline stats: Teams now ranked:   203 Teams with an Autumn ITT result:   115 Teams with a Winter ITT result:   152 Tea
