Now that the first year of Iron Gauntlet has concluded and we’ve crowned Jay Larsen the first-ever WARMACHINE & HORDES world champion, it’s time to discuss the future of Iron Gauntlet. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new format for Season 2, you’ll find it here.

For a quick breakdown of the Season 2 format before reading the document, check out my post in the Privateer Forums. This will get you up to speed quickly, though I recommend you read the entire document if you plan to participate in any Iron Gauntlet events this season.

In just a few days, Marketing Manager Lyle Lowery and I will be traveling to Austin, Texas, for Texas Games Con. This will be our third year attending the event, and we couldn’t be more excited. Each year, the WARMACHINE & HORDES events get bigger and better at this show. In fact, player attendance has grown so much that Texas Games Con is going to host the very first Iron Gauntlet event of Season 2!

After so many months of developing this new format, the rules are finally in your hands, and we cannot wait to see what creative lists and strategies come out of these events. Although we won’t be live streaming the events at Texas Games Con, we will be tweeting tournament results and sharing the lists our players create during the Gauntlet Rounds.
