Why RTTs Are the Backbone of Age of Sigmar | How Local Events Build Community & Competitive Skill
In this episode of Always Strikes Last, Rocco, Jack, and Matt dive deep into why RTTs (Rogue Trader Tournaments) are the true foundation of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar competitive play. Whether you’re a seasoned tournament player or brand new to organized play, this conversation breaks down how local events shape the meta, build communities, and make better players. Rocco shares what it’s like to TO (Tournament Organize) an RTT — from preparing terrain and managing rounds to keeping the vibe fun and competitive. Jack and Matt join in to discuss why small events like RTTs matter just as much as GTs, how to grow your local wargaming scene, and the hidden skills you gain from competing in or hosting smaller tournaments. If you’ve ever wondered how to start your own Age of Sigmar tournament, how local metas influence the national competitive scene, or just want to improve your game through consistent play, this episode is for you.
