As summer winds down, Warhammer fans have plenty to look forward to with the final events of the year.
Warhammer World is gearing up for exciting gatherings in December for both 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. Whether you are a competitive player or a hobbyist who loves painting and friendly matches, there is something here for everyone. These events highlight both the thrill of tournament play and the joy of community in the hobby. From high-level strategic battles to relaxed, friendly encounters, December is shaping up to be a Warhammer-packed month.
NOVA Open: A Tournament Spectacle
First up, the NOVA Open kicked off recently and is one of the most important independent events in the Warhammer calendar. The event features top-tier tournaments for Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, and Horus Heresy. There are also narrative campaigns, painting competitions, hobby activities, and a massive store for all your modeling needs. Even if you cannot attend in person, you can catch the Warhammer 40,000 singles action on the Warhammer Twitch channel and cheer for the best players. Many of these competitors will take their skills to the World Championships in November, so the stakes are high and the gameplay is intense.
Contest of Heroes: Age of Sigmar Fun
Following NOVA, Warhammer World hosts the last Age of Sigmar event of 2025, known as the Contest of Heroes. This is a 1,000-point event that welcomes newcomers, veterans, and hobbyists alike. Players face off against three opponents in a single-day, weekday setting, which makes it relaxed but still competitive. Awards celebrate good generalship, sportsmanship, and painting, giving everyone a chance to shine. During the lunch break, participants showcase their armies and vote for their favourites, which adds a fun community aspect to the competition. Mark your calendars for December 10th if you want to join this friendly battle.
December Team Event: Tactical Warfare
For those craving intense strategy, Warhammer World also hosts a two-day, five-game 40,000 team event on December 13th and 14th. Teams of three must balance tactical skill with clever matchups, since knowing your opponents’ armies can make or break your plan. The event challenges both your tabletop prowess and your strategic drafting decisions. Awards go to the top three teams, best-painted armies, fan-favourite armies, and sportsmanship. Lunch is provided on both days, so you can focus on your tactics and enjoy the camaraderie.
