Darkwater Games Warhammer 40k King of the Colosseum Build Paint Play Event Come join Darkwater games for our first-ever King of the Colosseum Build Paint Play event!
The goal of this event is to build an active community of 40k players at Darkwater through a beginner-friendly event with an emphasis on starting a new army!
Anyone who purchases paints/models during the event and shows up to at least 2 of the three event nights will have 10% of their purchases credited back to their account as store credit! (Up to $100 of credit per person, pre orders are excluded)
From beginners looking to start their first army to experienced players looking to try something new, by the end of the three-week event, you’ll have an army ready to rumble in the colosseum. The final day of the event will be a day of carnage using the fast-paced 500 point King of the Colosseum format developed by Play on Tabletop.
If you’re starting with a combat patrol, these rules only apply for units not contained in your combat patrol (if your patrol was less than 500 units)
Schedule (All nights start at 5PM):
May 30th, 5PM - Build - Come and join other 40k players building your army. Army already built? No worries, hang out and paint, or get some practice games in!
