In the grim darkness of the far future... there is no peace among the stars.

Check out the latest trailer for the upcoming 11th edition of Warhammer 40k!

Kicking off 11th will be the Armageddon box, which we can now confirm will be available to everyone who has expressed interest so far!

Allocation remains limited however, so if you haven't had a chance yet be sure to put your name down for one!

It was a Magic weekend at Gaming DNA!

Our Secrets of Strixhaven store champs was taken out by Ollie Wearing, who went 2 for 2 in Hamilton store champs this season!

And with 9 teams competing through four rounds to a semi-final and final, our Pauper Teams event winners were Boulder Co. Magic Club! Congrats to Tomei, Victor, and Liam on a great performance.

To everyone who joined us this weekend, whether you made the journey from outside Waikato or you're one of our locals who always bring the good vibes to our store, we appreciate you ☺️

We've got our first full house in our War Room tonight!

Check out the action every Tuesday night, and look out for Learn to Play events coming up with the 11th Edition release in June!
