Age of Sigmar Takes the Table at The Hidden Lair
A Tournament Recap and Community Spotlight
This past weekend, The Hidden Lair was filled with the clash of steel, sorcery, and strategy as players gathered for an Age of Sigmar tournament, captured in our latest event video. From the first dice rolls to the final objectives scored, the event showcased exactly what makes the Age of Sigmar community special: competitive play paired with a welcoming, hobby-driven atmosphere.
The video offers a great snapshot of what tournament day looks like at The Hidden Lair, highlighting both the intensity of matched play and the camaraderie that keeps players coming back.
A Strong Competitive Showing
Throughout the tournament, players brought a wide range of armies to the tables, each reflecting different approaches to the current Age of Sigmar meta. Fast-moving objective control lists, resilient anvil-style armies, and aggressive alpha-strike forces were all on display.
What stands out in the video is the level of preparation across the board. Armies were clearly built with purpose, and games often hinged on careful positioning, timing of command abilities, and smart objective play rather than raw damage alone. This kind of play is exactly what Age of Sigmar excels at when matched play is at its best.
The Hobby on Full Display
One of the highlights of the event — and something the video captures particularly well — is the quality of the painted armies. Fully painted forces, detailed basing, and thoughtful conversions were common across the tables.
Events like this reinforce that Age of Sigmar is not just a competitive game, but a hobby experience. Seeing armies that players have clearly invested time and creativity into adds a visual spectacle that enhances every match and makes tournament coverage more engaging for viewers.
Atmosphere at The Hidden Lair
The Hidden Lair continues to prove itself as a great venue for tabletop events. The video shows a clean, organized play space with plenty of room for movement, measuring, and spectating. More importantly, it captures the tone of the day: focused games, friendly conversations between rounds, and players supporting one another regardless of results.
Tournament days can be intense, but the environment at The Hidden Lair strikes a strong balance between competition and community. Newer players and veterans alike felt comfortable asking questions, discussing tactics, and sharing hobby tips between games.
