Some more information about our event:

Thank you for your interest in the first annual Grimfoe Throwdown at Grimfoe Games in East Greenbush in partnership with The Shambling Horde gaming club. Our goal is to run a fun, friendly event to crown the Grimfoe Games Warhammer Fantasy Battle Champion for 2012. The results of the tournament will be reported to RankingsHQ and there will be prizes based upon attendance.

Grimfoe Games is located in the Hannaford Plaza located at the intersection of Rte 4 and Rte 9&20 in East Greenbush NY about 2 miles from Exit 9 of I-90. The store address is 598 Columbia Turnpike, East Greenbush, NY 12061 and our phone number is (518) 479 4746. Our store is located directly behind the Subway you will see at the corner of Rte 4 and Rte 9&20 as you enter the plaza parking lot.

The entry fee for the Throwdown is $15 and the total prize pool will be based on twice the total amount of entrance fee collected. With 16 people the prize pool will be $15*16*2=$480 so we’ll round that up to $500. The number of prizes awarded will be based upon the number of attendees but we expect to give prizes to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, “Best General” and “Best Painted” as well as some door prizes. The prizes will be in the form of store credit for GW product of your choice although we regret to say that the prize credit will not be able to be combined with ANY other offer including but not limited to our standard 25% off discount price.
