The Ard Boyz preliminaries are here!
‘Ard Boyz Tournaments are a three-part, competitive series of events hosted by Independant Retailers across North America.

These tournaments are the place to field that nasty list you felt guilty about playing, or that massive horde army you couldn’t hope to paint in time.

Games Workshop Games At The Austin Lair
The Austin Lair offers organized play for several Games Workshop Games. Don’t see your game here? Contact our Events Coordinator, Robbie LaBanca.
Warhammer, The game of Fantasy Battles, allows you to wage war with armies of Citadel miniatures across tabletop battlefields in the ultimate contest of strategy and skill. Each player is a general, who must choose his finest warriors, decide upon cunning battle plans and strategies and lead his followers to victory or death. Games can vary in size from small skirmishes of just a few dozen models per side, to massive clashes with literally hundreds of miniatures.
Warhammer 40,000, the tabletop battlegame of the far future, allows you to wage war with armies of Citadel miniatures across miniature battlefields in the ultimate contest of strategy and skill. Each player is a commander who must choose his finest warriors, decide upon cunning battle plans and strategies and lead his army to victory or death. Games can vary in size from small skirmishes of just a few dozen models per side, to massive clashes with hundreds of miniatures.
Blood Bowl is board game that is one of the Specialist Games that Games Workshop has published along time ago. All the Teams, Models and the box set are special order now from GW but the rule book is free to download on the GW website. The game itself it a kind of an alternate setting for Warhammer Fantasy where instead of battles they play Blood Bowl but they have all the familiar races have teams. Orcs, Elves, even Humans use skill and sharp implements to win games. Become a Blood Bowl Coach and lead your team to victory!
Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy® Austin also sells miniatures, books and supplies for the War of the Ring
