D6 Games Christmas Clash Brings Champion of Champions Cup

On December 20 the D6 Games venue hosted the Christmas Clash event and the Champion of Champions Cup, an eight player competitive tournament run over three rounds. The Cup was designed to bring together qualifiers from the season plus season pass holders, with some slots filled by invitation and qualification. Entry was set at twenty five pounds per person and players were reminded to follow the published registration windows and list submission procedures.

The tournament ran to a 2000 point army limit and a minimum three colour paint standard counted toward scoring. Organizers enforced a requirement that players bring their own dice and measuring tools and provide a copy of their army list either on paper or in the app. Conversions and third party printed models required approval from the tournament organizer prior to use, so competitors were advised to check list legality and model compliance ahead of game day.

The day combined straight competitive play with hobby emphasis. A Best Painted competition was part of the itinerary and judging included input from players alongside the tournament organizer. Player packs were provided for both Warhammer 40,000 and Horus Heresy formats, and the published itineraries included round schedules, list submission instructions and other logistical notes to keep rounds on time and consistent.

For the local community the event underscored several practical takeaways. Verify army lists and conversion approval before arrival to avoid delays, meet the three colour painting requirement to secure painting points, and budget for modest entry fees that support venue and prize costs. Bringing accurate measurement tools and a clear copy of lists reduced disputes and helped games start promptly.

The Champion of Champions Cup highlighted the season structure D6 Games has been running, rewarding consistent winners while creating a showcase for hobby work through the Best Painted competition. Future events will likely follow the same template, so competitors planning to enter similar tournaments should adopt the same preparation checklist of lists, approvals, tools and painted models to stay competitive and compliant.
