Every participant gets a copy of White Dwarf, complimentary drinks and snacks, a 9-inch personal pizza with up to three toppings from Primanti Brothers, a $5 gift card, and a special Games Workshop discount available throughout the day. Eliminations can also turn into store credit, so every takedown matters. Bring up to three units in any mix, whether troops, characters, monsters, or vehicles. Points do not factor in until something is destroyed, at which time the player who scored the kill gains battle points equal to the defeated unit’s value. Initiative each round is randomized with a deck of cards, resolving from lowest to highest. When a unit activates, spawn it if it is off the table by rolling a d6 to determine a zone on a 4-by-6 battlefield that has been divided into six 2-by-2 areas, then place it along the table edge and take a normal 40K turn. Each battlefield features two objectives, and holding one at the end of a round earns objective points equal to the unit’s cost, as long as at least two players are sharing that table. Respawns are unlimited and can even move you to a different table. Store credit prizes are awarded for top overall points, the highest tally of natural ones, the most upsets where a lower-cost unit removes a higher-cost threat, and the unit that is taken out the most. New and veteran 40K players are welcome, and painted or unpainted armies are perfectly fine.
