BRAND NEW this year is the Wednesday Night Evening with Games Workshop extravaganza! Come for a full evening of fun, friends, and good times. And best of all, it's totally FREE!

HOBBY: Warhammer Army Showcase: Pre-Judging (5–7PM)

Sign up with this ticket: https://tabletop.events/conventions/nova-open-2025/schedule/524

Show off your army your way. Get early access to a reserved judging zone in the International Ballroom and set up your force for max impact—lighting, angles, drama—however you want them seen. Judges will give your army the full spotlight before the chaos of general review begins. Want the best shot at making a statement? Get those armies judged before they are covered in gore from the GT! This is an opportunity to get your first round judging out of the way early!

GAME: Space Marine 2 Team Tournament (5–7:30PM)

Sign up with this ticket: https://tabletop.events/conventions/nova-open-2025/schedule/523

Grab a controller, grab a battle-brother, and jump into the fray. Games Workshop’s bringing Xbox rigs and running a Space Marine 2 team tourney—casual, bloody, and a total blast. They ran it in Dallas and it slayed. We’re upping the stakes: winning team takes home $500 in store credit. For the Emperor!

WIN: Warhammer Pub Trivia (7:30-8:30PM)

Cap the evening off with a live Q&A session with Games Workshop including trivia, giveaways, answers to your burning questions, and a celebration of NOVA Open's Charitable Giving.
