Upcoming Events

Choose your battlefield

We run two kinds of events: two-day Major Grand Tournaments for the full five-round experience, and one-day RTTs for a fast, competitive Saturday. Each has its own page with full details and schedule.

Format

The rules of engagement

We run the current official matched-play tournament mission pack, with the latest published balance updates in effect as of the rules cutoff. Full details, scoring, and sportsmanship policy are in the player pack you'll receive after registering.

Missions & scoring

Missions are drawn from the current official Grand Tournament mission pack. Pairings are Swiss with win/loss record first and battle points as the tiebreaker.

Army lists

2,000-point armies built to the current matched-play rules. Lists are submitted online by the deadline and checked before round one. Late lists may take a round-one point penalty.

Terrain & clocks

Every table uses an identical, tournament-standard terrain layout. Chess clocks are encouraged but not needed. If your clock runs out, you can only remove models and pass turns.

Painting standard

We do not have a painting requirement, all players will recieve 10 paint points. There's a separate judged prize for the best-painted armies at Major events.

What to bring

Your army, dice, measuring tools,chess clocks (if wanted) and current rules references (printed or charged devices). We supply terrain, and pairings.

Sportsmanship

Play hard, play clean. Judges are on the floor and rulings are final. Slow play, rules abuse, or hostility toward opponents gets one warning. There is no second warning.

About

Who runs the cage

Iron Cage GT is an independent tournament organizer based in North Texas. We started for a simple reason: competitive players deserve events where the terrain is fair, the schedule runs on time, the judges know the rules, and the standings are posted before you've finished packing your case.

Every event we run follows the same standard — identical table layouts, unbias Judges, player packs, and transparent scoring. No surprises except the ones your opponent brings.

FAQ

Before you ask a judge

I've never played in a tournament. Can I come?
Absolutely. Swiss pairings mean that after round one, you'll mostly face players at your record — so you'll get close, competitive games all day regardless of experience. An RTT is a great first event; read the player pack, submit your list on time, and you'll be fine.
What happens if I have to drop out?
Tickets are refundable up to 14 days before the event, or transferable to another player any time before check-in. If you drop mid-event, let a judge know so pairings stay clean for everyone else.
Is food available at the venue?
Yes — food by BBQ McBBQFace will be available on site.
Can I come just to watch?
Spectators are welcome, free of charge. Come see what a room of fully painted armies looks like — then sign up for the next one.
