Heads up everyone, this weekend our large miniature gaming tables will be closed to casual table hire due to our Warhammer 40,000 event, Strength in Numbers, taking up the majority of the space.

Our TCG tables will still be running as normal for all regularly scheduled events, and we will still have a very small number of tables available for casual TCG play throughout the weekend.

Please also note that setup for the event may have a small impact on casual play Friday night. We will do our best to minimise disruptions, however at worst some players may need to finish their games by around 9:00-9:30pm instead of the usual 9:30-10:00pm.

Thanks for your understanding, and good luck to everyone attending Strength in Numbers this weekend!

⚔️🔥 Horus Heresy EOI – Super-Heavy Armour Arrives!🔥⚔️

The battlefields of the Horus Heresy are about to get a lot heavier. We’re now taking Expressions of Interest for two iconic Legiones Astartes armoured behemoths — perfect centrepieces for any Age of Darkness force.

🛡️ Legiones Astartes: Falchion Super-Heavy Tank Destroyer
The Falchion is pure overkill in the best possible way — a brutal super-heavy tank built to annihilate enemy armour and titans alike. Armed with devastating anti-tank weaponry and wrapped in thick ceramite plating, this machine is designed to dominate the battlefield from long range.

If your Legion likes solving problems with overwhelming firepower, the Falchion delivers in spectacular fashion.

⚔️ Legiones Astartes: Spartan Prometheus Assault Tank
An evolution of the legendary Spartan chassis, the Prometheus variant combines massive transport capacity with command-and-control support and punishing firepower.

Perfect for delivering elite infantry straight into the heart of battle while still laying down serious ranged support. A true flagship vehicle for any Legion force.

We’ve been working with Luke and the team at Spectrum Quest for years now, and what they are doing is truly an incredible service for both kids and adults on the spectrum.

Their vision is simple, but incredibly important:
“We envision a world where every person has access to communicate and connect with other people.”

Spectrum Quest uses carefully curated roleplaying games to help make that vision a reality, creating safe, welcoming spaces where people can build confidence, communication skills, friendships, and community.

As they continue to grow, they are currently looking for additional Game Masters to join the team.

If you are passionate about tabletop RPGs, community building, and making a real difference in people’s lives, we strongly encourage you to reach out.

Contact Luke and the Spectrum Quest team via:
📧 [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Please include:
• A cover letter, short audio/video introduction, or personal website link
• Your resume
• At least two references

This is genuinely meaningful work, and we’re proud to support what they do.
