Greetings friends!
As the dawn of 11th Edition approaches, we at ADD TO CART WARGAMING look back fondly on what has been an eventful and memorable end to the 10th edition of Warhammer 40K.
—TEAMS RESULTS—
We ushered in 2026 with a bang, competing at our first ever international Teams event, the ASIA TEAMS WARHAMMER 40K held at Phuket, Thailand. ATCW flew over a strong contingent, bannered by Golden Ticket holders Francis Fernandez and Agus Duran. Martin Lamsen, Dan Higwit, Max Gana, and captain Mark Fernandez rounded out our representatives, with Mark heroically intervening to replace the unfortunate last-minute drop of Alexis Sulit. In addition to the members competing under the ATCW banner, we had Jeriah Montano and PJ Bernabe bolstering the roster of our good friends at Killing Matsings, who had also made the flight to Phuket.
We had a rough Day 1 against some of the best teams in Southeast Asia, but successfully bounced back on Day 2 to secure a midtable 14th place finish, just slightly above our compatriots. The intensity of competition at ASIA TEAMS, camaraderie with regional peers, and experience of traveling together set a benchmark for what we wanted to achieve as an organization.
Additionally, we had such a pleasant time playing with Killing Matsings in Thailand that we happily welcomed members Mark Yam, Zep Tiu, Carlo Chua, and captain Marjohn Buncio into our team for future events.
In March, Add to Cart Wargaming, with its newly expanded roster, was then able to field two teams at the biggest local Teams tournament, the TIGAS TEAM TOURNAMENT III, held at Atelier Tabletop Brewspace in Quezon City. One team was captained by Agus, and featured Zep, Mark Y., Carlo, Alexis, AJ Reyes, Ben Uychua, and guest player Jason Bautista. Meanwhile, Jeriah led ATCW’s second team with Doc Francis, Marjohn, Dan, PJ, Max, Nakar Elumba and guest player JC Sangalang. Martin was present at the tournament as well, participating as a first-time captain, for our sister team Gauntlet Gang.
In the end, ATCW staked its claim as the best team in the Philippines, with Team Jeriah prevailing over Team Agus, as both squads finished in 1st and 2nd. Our perennial rivals, the kings of the South, the Black Komodos rounded out the top 3, over a competitive field that included the experienced Old Dogz and the hungry Gauntlet Gang representatives.
—GT RESULTS—
With our Teams events out of the way, ATCW set its sights on individual glory — Golden Tickets to the Warhammer 40K Championship to be held in Barcelona. Our members competed in 3 major tournaments to start the year, the LAST STAND OF THE NORTH GT in Baguio, GEEK+POP GT in Makati, and the ARMORED KOMODO GT: TRIALS OF STRENGTH in Las Piñas, all with Golden Tickets at stake.
In April, at the LAST STAND OF THE NORTH, ATCW ran rampant and swept all 3 podium spots, with all 6 of our representatives finishing in the top 9 of the biggest tournament in Northern Luzon. Zep Tiu piloted his beloved Subterranean Assault Tyranids to first place with a 4-1 record, and bagged both the Gold Medal and a Golden Ticket. Marjohn Buncio and his mechanized menace of a Pactbound Zealots list actually handed Zep his only loss of the tournament, but he was edged out on overall points and finished in second place. Dan Higwit bucked an early loss on Day 1 and finished third with his Black Spear Task Force Deathwatch army.
Our foray at the 51-man GEEK+POP tourney in May was equally fruitful, as ATCW again cornered the Golden Ticket, and 5 out of the top 10 spots at the biggest GT in the Philippines. The final match to determine 1st place was an all-ATCW affair, as last year’s #1 ITC player Agus Duran’s Mont’ka T’au defeated Death Guard master Mark Yam’s Tallyband Summoners. Agus finished 6-0 and first overall, while Mark’s sole loss of the tournament secured him third place. Carlo Chua and PJ Bernabe carried identical 5-1 records to 4th and 5th place, while Marjohn and Jeriah Montano finished 9th and 10th with their 4-2 tallies.
The final GT before the dawn of 11th edition was the ARMORED KOMODO GT: TRIALS OF STRENGTH, hosted at the start of this month by our friends the Black Komodos.
They defended their home turf fiercely, and used their mastery of WTC terrain layouts to stymie another ATCW sweep and potential Golden Ticket. However, Zep, using his Red Terror-reinforced Tyranids, continued his end of edition hot streak and nabbed first place with a perfect 5-0 record. Marjohn, Carlo and PJ couldn’t break the Komodos’ grasp on the remaining podium places at this GT, but they still finished right outside the winners’ circle in 5th, 6th and 7th respectively.
And now, with the 10th edition of 40K wrapped up, ATCW readies itself for the emergent competitive meta of the incoming edition. Already, a “home” GT awaits us in August, the DAWN OF ARMAGEDDON GT at Atelier Tabletop Brewspace, with the first Golden Ticket of the new edition on the line. Our hibernating members are waking up in anticipation of this fresh tournament scene, joining the preparations and discussions of our active grinders, as we look forward to a hopefully fruitful second half of the year. Lastly, we heartily thank our friends and (occasional) sponsors Atelier Tabletop Brewspace, MJB Meat Processing Inc, and Merced Bakehouse, for supporting us as we push competitive 40K boundaries here in the Philippines!
See you guys on the battlefield! (sans round objective markers)
