It might be too sunny to be thinking about October’s events just yet, but July is right around the corner—and the Warhammer Open is back in Washington State for its fourth year running.
That means you’ve still got time to dust off your sprues, finalize your paint schemes, and prepare for one of the biggest weekends in the Warhammer hobby calendar.
Hosted at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center, this year’s Open promises to be the biggest yet, with a massive 40K Grand Tournament featuring over 450 players. But don’t worry if tournament play isn’t your thing—there’s something here for every kind of hobbyist.
Across three jam-packed days (and don’t forget Thursday night’s kickoff festivities), there are 10 different gaming events spread across six Warhammer systems, ensuring everyone finds a battlefield to call home. Alongside that, the ever-popular Hobby Challenge returns, offering a chill, community-focused way to show off your creativity without a scoreboard.
And for painters? This is basically Valhalla. There are nine painting classes led by legendary names like Erik Swinson, Dan Ozborne, and Steve Garcia, plus a full-scale painting competition open to all skill levels. If you’ve ever wanted expert feedback on your brushwork or to push your painting skills further, this is the place to do it.
Even if you’re just swinging by for a day, the event store has you covered. Exclusive miniatures, limited merch, and all the hobby swag you could ever need will be on hand—just try to leave room in your suitcase.
Can’t make it to Tacoma? No worries. The Warhammer Twitch Channel will be broadcasting live coverage of games and painting events all weekend long, so you can still soak up the action from home.
Whether you’re competing, learning, painting, or just browsing the merch tables, the Warhammer Open in Tacoma is shaping up to be one of the best Warhammer weekends of the year. Don’t miss it.
And remember, Frontline Gaming sells gaming products at a discount, every day in their webcart!
