The Forge League
Choose Your Battlefield
The Forge League runs across four Games Workshop systems, each with its own separate standings and its own playoff at the end of the season. Enter one, or enter all four — each system is a separate entry.
How It Works
-
Enlist
Sign up for one or more systems — €5 per system, paid at the counter. Arcane Forge members join free.
-
Your Pod Forms
The moment four players are registered in a system, that pod activates and you'll be introduced to your opponents in the League group.
-
Play Your Games
You play every other player in your pod once — three games in total. Arrange them yourselves, whenever suits you. No fixed schedule, no fixed nights. You have two months to complete your pod.
-
Report Your Result
After each game, report the result to staff at the counter or in the League group. Standings are updated as results come in.
-
Start Your Next Pod
Once your pod is complete, you're free to enter a new one in the same system — or a different one. Only one active pod per system at a time.
No Table Fee for League Games
Your pod fee covers your table for every game in that pod. Book a table as normal, tell us it's a League game, and there's nothing further to pay.
The Season & The Playoffs

| Registration | Rolling — open all season, pods form as players join |
| Entry fee | €5 per system · free for Arcane Forge members |

Every system runs its own ladder. Your position is built from your best three pod results in that system, so consistency across the season matters more than a single strong showing. At the end of the season the top players in each system meet in the Summer 2027 Playoffs to decide the first champions of The Forge League.
Why Play
- Play on your own terms. No tournament weekends, no travel, no all-day commitment. Three games in two months, whenever you and your opponent are both free.
- Guaranteed opponents. No more hunting for a game. Your pod is four players who have all committed to playing.
- Free tables. Every pod game is on us.
- A reason to finish that army. A full season is exactly the excuse you've been looking for.
- Meet the community. New pods mean new opponents every couple of months.
