Welcome to Your First Warhammer Tournament!
A quick guide to help you feel right at home on event weekend.
What to Expect
The Warhammer 40,000 Tournament is a one‑day competitive event focused entirely on full‑sized games of Warhammer 40,000. It features epic battles, beautifully painted armies, and a vibrant community atmosphere —all condensed into a single action‑packed day.
This tournament kicks off on Saturday 25 July in the morning, when players can check in, pick up their swag box and event materials, meet fellow participants, and speak with judges about any last‑minute rules questions before the first round begins. We recommend arriving at 8:30 to complete your registration and be ready to start your first round at 9:30.
While there are no activities outside ticketed events, all are welcome to visit, check things out, and shop at our traveling event store with official Games Workshop products, merch, and event exclusive items.
