This past weekend, the spirit of the Warhammer 40k universe collided with the power of real-world compassion as players gathered at The Hidden Lair for an epic charity tournament. With dice rolling, armies clashing, and the community united for an incredible cause, the event proved once again that tabletop gaming can make a huge impact beyond the tabletop.

By the end of the day, thanks to entry fees, and the generosity of our players, we proudly raised:

💛 $1,349 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital 💛

Every dollar brings us one step closer to helping children and families facing unimaginable challenges—and we couldn’t be more grateful.

⚔️ A Tournament Filled With Passion, Strategy, and Stunning Armies

Players brought their A-game—and their best-painted armies. The tables were alive with:

• Vibrant Chaos forces

• Swarming Tyranids

• Noble Imperial Knights

• Brutal Orks rolling in loud and proud

• Mechanized detachments and elite squads

• Beautifully painted units from every corner of the 40k universe

From towering war engines to meticulously detailed infantry units, every army brought flavor and personality to the battlefield.

The variety was incredible, and the craftsmanship on display was nothing short of inspiring.

🎲 Intense Matches & Great Sportsmanship

The battles were fierce, but the sportsmanship was even stronger.
Players cheered each other on, shared tactical advice, swapped hobby techniques, and brought the exact kind of positive energy that defines our Warhammer community.

Whether it was a last-second objective grab or a critical failed roll that had the whole room laughing, the day was filled with unforgettable moments.

🖌️ Hobby Appreciation at Its Finest

Between rounds, players admired each other’s miniatures, traded stories about conversions and paint schemes, and connected over the shared love of building and crafting.

These events prove just how much creativity and dedication lives in our local Warhammer scene.
