Top Shelf Co x CTC Kill Team Championship Recap – Golden Tickets, Community, and Competitive Glory!
In May 2025, Top Shelf Co, in proud partnership with CTC, hosted the largest Kill Team tournament in our store’s history—a sold-out championship event that welcomed 32 elite players from across Canada and the United States. From the very first dice roll to the final nail-biting matches, this event was a celebration of community, craftsmanship, and competitive excellence in the Warhammer Kill Team scene.
Players clashed across beautifully crafted boards, surrounded by custom objective markers, chess timers, and curated swag bags—all created to offer a premier experience. But this wasn’t just about the game; it was about the people. Every round, every painted model, and every sportsmanlike handshake reflected the grassroots heart of Kill Team.
At stake were three Golden Tickets (YES, your read that right 3!) to the Warhammer World Championships in Atlanta, Georgia—including a paid flight for first place! The competition was fierce, with some matches being decided by a single point. From high-stakes gameplay to jaw-dropping hobby displays, the event delivered on every front. The best overall player, Thomas Arthur, not only impressed with his tactical skill but also with an exceptional hobby presentation—joining his brother Alex Arthur in qualifying for Worlds. That's right TwinHammer is heading to Worlds!
Special thanks go out to CTC, and our organizers Max, and Vivek, whose dedication and late-night effort made this event truly unforgettable. As Vivek shared during the event, this wasn’t just a tournament—it was about building a space where everyone felt welcome, respected, and excited to grow in the game.
Whether you're a seasoned Kill Team veteran or just getting started, Kill Team is thriving because of its people. Its accessibility, strategic depth, and compact gameplay make it an ideal entry point for new players—and an exciting challenge for seasoned commanders.
