Curious about Warhammer 40,000 but don't know where to start?
Join us at Heroes World for our Learn to Play Warhammer 40,000 Workshop, a beginner-friendly introduction to one of the world's most popular tabletop miniature games!
This workshop is designed for brand-new players. You don't need to own an army, memorize a rulebook, or have any previous tabletop gaming experience. We'll walk you through the basics and get you playing.

No Army? No Problem!
Everything you need to learn will be provided for the workshop. Just show up ready to play.
Our goal isn't to teach you every rule in one sitting. It's to give you enough hands-on experience to understand the fundamentals, feel comfortable at the table, and be ready to start playing Warhammer 40,000 on your own.
Questions are encouraged throughout the workshop, so don't worry if you've never rolled a die or moved a miniature before.
Space is limited, so advance registration is recommended.
