Just a short reminder for folks in the Pittsburgh area that our Orktober 2025 Drop-in Battle happens on November 1st!

Doors at 10am, armies set up and dice by 10:45am. Event will run until 5:00pm.Prizes will be drawn promptly at that timing. Turns will have set times. Players jump in on the turn they arrive. No command points are used; strategems can be used via the Extra Life donations . Orks can call a Waaagh by unanimity of Ork generals, cannot call two turns in a row. Ork units recycle upon death. And both Ork and non-Ork players can use the following Extra life benefits.

Ork players can bring any number of points and models.

Non-Ork players can bring 1,000 point forces drawn from a single detachment for the event, the goal being to kill as many Orks for as long as possible until eliminated, as well as for a secret mission you will get on the day of the event. Non-Ork players can field Imperium, Aeldari, Drukhari, Votann, or T’au detachments.

Extra Life Benefits:

$1 donation to re-roll any single die roll. Allows multiple re-rolls (you can re-roll a re-roll).

$2 per command point. Use any strategem available to your detachment. Can only use each strategem once per round. Also any “costs zero command points” abilities on datasheets still need a minimum donation of $1 to use each time.

$5 scrap your secret mission and draw a new one.

$10 Non-Ork player returns all 1,000 points of their force to the field (effectively a “keep playing” when eliminated).
