LEARN HOW TO PLAY WARHAMMER 40,000!
Our Learn-to-Play 40k events provide the perfect setting to learn the new 40k edition--or learn 40k for the first time!
But it's not just good for beginners: it's a great way to meet the gamers in the Imaginary Wars 40k community!
This will be an afternoon is geared towards people who:
- have never tried out any miniatures game before
- know a little bit about 40k but have never played a real game of it (people who have player Space Marine 2 or who watch the 40k lore videos)
- Want an easy-to-digest way of getting caught up with the new edition of Warhammer 40,000

BEGINNER BATTLES TABLE(S)
Whether you've played previous editions and are looking at getting back into 40k, or if you're out of practice and looking to solidify your playing knowledge...or if you just want to get a smaller game of 40k in AND help out mentor new players, you're welcome to participate on this day as well!
Fine Details as to what constitutes a beginner battle on this day:
- Loose time limit of 2 hours.
- Players bring in their own force of no more than 500pts
- Player forces can heroes or squads be worth more than 180 points: this is not a day for heavy-hitting elite squads--we want all the day's games to last long enough for players to actually learn things!
If there are enough participants for the Beginner battle tables, we'll either split the tables in half for two 1vs1 battles OR make the table a 2vs2 (or maybe even 3vs3!) battles.
