Incoming: New Dark Eldar!

Right now PotA has painted previews of some of the new Dark Eldar for Warhammer 40,000 on display at the shop. A sample copy of the new codex is also available for perusal.



We'll be offering a number of large DE-related events in November to celebrate the November 6 release of this revamped force of evil Xenos! Look for news an announcements here!

Castle Ravenloft Huge Hit!


PotA staff and customers alike are giving the new Castle Ravenloft board game from Wizards a hearty thumbs up!



We've seen multiple games played in the shop, and the play dynamic is very much akin to a boiled down version of the 4E D&D rules. Even folks who are not fond of the 4E play mechanics dig this game. For a more detailed review, check Boardgame Geek.

We'll do our best to keep this hot seller in stock!

D&D Essentials!

Phantom of the Attic carries the full line of available D&D Essentials products. Because of our enhanced status with Wizards of the Coast, we've got these products before most other shops and online outlets.



The Rules Compendium contains all of the basic rules needed to play; it makes an excellent tabletop companion. It does not repeat the PC class information from the PHB's, and it does not have nitty-gritty info from the DMG like how to level monsters and other more detailed tricks of the trade. It does contain the most up to date information on the basics of powers, movement and combat.

This is a great source for any 4E gaming group!

DA DAIT: Sunday, August 15th (Dat's dis Sondae!)

Want to field a Daemon Prince? Go for it! Need an excuse to finish that Steamtank? Your time is nigh! The units must follow rules for their entry in their army book. Example: A unit with a minimum size of 10 must include at least 10 models. All models must be painted and based, and as always, conversions are welcome but no proxies. Please bring everything you need to run your force (army book, force list, templates, dice, etc.). Neutral forces will be placed after determining both sides force values.

See you there!

Warhammer Doubles Updates and Reminders

The Warhammer 8th Edition Doubles Tournament is upon us so here are some quick updates and reminders to prepare.

Warhammer Doubles Sunday, August 1st, 2010 12:00PM

Teams: Each team consists of two players running 500 point lists built using the standard Warhammer 8th Edition army building structure. Each player will bring their army (fully painted and based, conversions welcome, but no proxies), any dice and templates needed, an army roster sheet fully detailing their army list,copy of the army book, and a print out of the errata for their army list (these can be easily downloaded and printed out from www.games-workshop.com).

Style: Warhammer Doubles is a single elimination (one and done) tournament using fixed terrain features. If a buy is necessary due to team constraints the team with the buy will be determined randomly. Warhammer doubles is a casual, fun, and easy going Warhammer event. Please be considerate of other players and their enjoyment. Judges decisions are final.

Awards: Best Generals = The last team standing after the elimination of all other teams, will be awarded best generals. Best Theme = The team who has the best combination of painting, modeling, and combined thematic elements will also be awarded.

We look forward to seeing you here!
