LVO 2025 - Vanguard Tactics Workshop
Your Gateway to Warhammer 40k Confidence and Success
Are you feeling nervous about attending a big event like the Las Vegas Open? Maybe it’s your first tournament, and you’re not sure what to expect. Or perhaps you feel rusty, maybe you want to get some and feedback and guidance on the way you play before the big event. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone—and the Vanguard Tactics Workshop is here to help.
Why This Workshop is Perfect for You
Overcoming Tournament Nerves
Attending a major event like the LVO can feel overwhelming. How you should deploy? How do you prepare for your games? What if you don’t know the mission and terrain layouts as well as your opponent? This workshop is designed to eliminate those fears, helping you feel calm, confident, and ready to enjoy your experience.
This workshop will bring you up to tournament speed, teaching you the essential strategies and rules so you can dive in with confidence, knowing you can finish all of your games on time and most importantly be a great opponent at the table.
The best thing is the VT community and getting to know like-minded people, coaches, past VT students and other workshop attendees are all there to help you and make you feel welcome. It is the perfect way to get to know a gaming group and people to hang out with over the course of the Las Vegas Open.

Hear from Past Participants
"I signed up for the Vanguard Tactics Workshop because I’d been on a year-long hiatus and wanted to get back into the game, learn 10th Edition, and gain a better understanding of how to play competitively. Warhammer was confusing for me, and I often just rolled the dice and hoped for the best. This workshop gave me the confidence and clarity I needed, especially with your focus on sportsmanship and fair play."
"The coaches were so professional and articulate. They broke down the rules and strategies in a way that made everything click. Now, I feel 100% more prepared for tournaments in the future."
