Corio Bay Challenge - August 2025 - Bendigo

The Corio Bay Challenge is a series of Warmachine Mk4 tournaments to be held on the 5th Saturday of the month throughout the year, moving between Melbourne, Bendigo, and Geelong communities.

The Corio Bay Challenge utilises the Warmachine Mk4 Steamroller 2025 tournament format, for 100pt Prime Arena (Mk4 and Armies of Legend) tournaments for 16 players, with a minimum 8 players required.

The unusual dates were deliberately chosen to allow players to plan out the events in the future by looking at a calendar, excluding the months between December and March (Christmas to Easter).
Dates in 2025 are 30th August in Bendigo, and 29th November in Geelong.

There is no painting requirement for this event, however fully painted armies will be awarded an additional 5 army points destroyed (second Tie Breaker) per round.

Player registration and reporting will utilise the Longshanks platform.

The event will feature 3D terrain elements for a range of different environments and settings and will tend toward higher volumes of terrain on the tables.

Cost: $30 per person (inc Sticky Tickets Booking Fees)
Prizes: 3D printed trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
Participation prize pool will be determined by the number of participants.
Best Painted army certificate.
