Snake Eyes Gaming is proud to announce the 3rd Annual Steel City Showdown. Every Fall between 35-50 players gather at Legions Games in Pittsburgh to test their mettle against one another for three rounds of Warhammer 40,000. At the end of the day one participant will have earned the right to hoist the Steel City Sword and claim the title of Champion until next year.

The Steel City Showdown is Snake Eye Gaming’s biggest tournament of the year. We always try to do something special for the participants – in previous years we’ve had random prizes or raffles. A tournament packet containing all of the rules, guidelines, and scoring system will be available at the bottom of this post in the weeks leading up to the event. Similarly, the missions for the tournament will be made available prior to the tournament.

Results from the past 2 years can be viewed here:

Is the armored battle group in IA1 allowed?

Count me In.

Stroggified,
Due to the nature of that amended list and 6th edition we are disallowing the Armored company battle group from IA:1 and the Krieg armored battle group from IA:7.

Please PM me if you wish to discuss further.

There have been plenty of updates to the Forge World list.
In addition, we WILL be using the new Chaos Space Marine codex.
You can find all of the updates here: http://snakeyesgaming.blogspot.com/.

Everything from the corsair army in IA 11 good?

Yes, just make sure you are aware of the changes to the vehicles in these lists from http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/v/vehicle6thupdates.pdf

Thanks Warboss. I'll update the Forge World list to the elements of the Corsair army list.

The Steel City Showdown is tomorrow! Check http://snakeyesgaming.blogspot.com/ for all the latest news and updates (including the tournament rules packet and Mission 1).
Looks like there will be a great turnout!!! If we get enough people this will probably turn into a 2-day event next year.
