The first day of the Walk 2021 - USA has passed and this massive event drew 10 participants who rocked 24 Titans and a gargantuan 104 Knights, eclipsing previous US attendance records for both Titans and Knights. Though the Chaos/Xenos team won (Princeps Robert and Shadow still sting at having to help them), everyone had a great time and there were plenty of laughs and shouts of ENGINE KILL! The Citadel even created the new Engine Kill drink as a means of celebrating the (in)glorious death of an engine.
The Warhammer Citadel's Warbringer, Arcis Vindictum
The Citadel quite heavily promoted the event, with both the poster and James B.'s maniple on display leading up to the event.
Princeps James, who earned the nickname "Bloody Butcher" at the event.
Setup took quite a long time this year but there was plenty of back and forth banter.
It was at that point that Shadow FINALLY made up his mind and jumped in.
Princeps James and Princeps Daniel talking strategy as they team up.

Arcis Vindictum with her new custom datasheet, a gift to the Citadel.
The Citadel's Station Master even received his own docket for the event.
Princeps Goji looks on, wondering where his Legio Interfector Warbringer will fire.
Augusti Fortuna and Natus est Tempestas keep a wary eye on the xenos from behind.
Prepared for battle
Princeps Florian and Princeps James traded blows the entire match, bringing an infectious level of energy.
Princeps Daniel faced a tough battle as multiple foes assailed his Astorum engines and House Terryn support.
The store's scenery and setting were much admired and a good thing to distract from the game during the rare moments of downtime.
TOC dice were not an uncommon display as many members in attendance had them.
Legio Atarus advanced up the board and took glee in shooting at Legio Perennia and Legio Vulturum.
Princeps James earned the title of "Bloody Butcher" as he ripped through the engines of his foes, earning the distinction of the most kills in the game.
Just a portion of the 100+ Knights at the event.
PUNCH!
The All or Nothing rule allowed players who had fewer engines to bring their forces back and enjoy the full game, something that greatly benefited the battered Perennia Titans.
The Eldar also got in on the action, teaching the Mon-Keigh foes to fear their D-Bombards.
An amazing and fun event where everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the US Branch's brotherhood returned to form. The defenders of the match, the Traitor/Xenos forces, found themselves retaining the walls of the Citadel.
