WH40k - Warhammer 40k Escalation League

What is Escalation League?

Escalation League or sometimes known as Slow-Grow leagues are a way for new and experienced players to build and play Warhammer 40k. Starting off with a low army size, players will play against other players with the same army size. Each month, this army size grows, giving players time to build up their army incrementally alongside other players. It’s a great way to enjoy the game from scratch and meet a community of other players as you build, paint and keep each other motivated together.
