Meta Description: Join Nerd Haven Games for an epic Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse Mega-Battle on June 27th and 28th! Celebrate the end of 10th edition with a two-day, Discord-driven event featuring massive armies and community-led carnage.
The galaxy is at a turning point. As the final chapters of Warhammer 40,000 10th Edition draw to a close, there is only one way to honour the countless hours of strategy, painting, and dice-rolling we have shared over the last few years: total, unmitigated carnage.
At Nerd Haven Games, we believe in going big or going home. That is why we are hosting a massive Apocalypse Mega-Battle on June 27th and 28th to bid a final, explosive farewell to the current edition before the new era begins. This is not just a game; it is a community-driven celebration of everything we love about the hobby.
Two Days of Total War
Forget your standard 2,000-point matches. Apocalypse is about scale, spectacle, and those "holy throne!" moments that only happen when hundreds of models are on the table at once. To ensure everyone gets a chance to participate in the destruction, we have split the event into two distinct days:
- Saturday, June 27th: Imperium vs. Chaos. The first wave of the invasion begins with heavy armour, massive infantry charges, and the first clash of the titans.
- Sunday, June 28th: An Allied Front must stand together against a mysterious Greater Threat. Expect desperate last stands, shifting alliances, and a brutal fight for survival.
The event will take place right here in-store at Nerd Haven Games in Abbotsford. Our tables will be combined into a massive battlefield designed to accommodate the sheer volume of plastic and resin about to hit the board.
A Discord-Driven Narrative
What makes this send-off truly special is that it is entirely Discord-driven. We are not just throwing dice; we are building a story.
In our official Discord community, the battle is already beginning. Teams are assembling right now, sign-ups are open, and players are reporting their total points to their respective commanders. This allows us to ensure the two sides are balanced (as balanced as an Apocalypse game can be!) and gives everyone a chance to coordinate their strategies before the first model is even deployed.
Are you a stalwart defender of the Imperium? Or do you live to see the galaxy burn under the heel of Chaos or the Xenos hordes? Your journey starts in the Discord "War Room," where you can find your teammates, plan your army lists, and even vote on narrative twists that will affect the game.
The Spirit of Apocalypse: Spectacle Over Balance
If you have never played an Apocalypse game, the most important thing to remember is the philosophy: spectacle over balance. While we are counting points to ensure a fair fight, the goal is to see cool models do cool things.
This is the perfect time to bring out those "shelf queens": the massive Forge World models, the Baneblades, the Great Unclean Ones, or those 300-model Ork hordes that usually take too long for a standard game. We will be using streamlined rules to keep the game moving fast, ensuring that everyone gets their "moment in the sun" before the 10th edition rulebooks are retired.
How to Prepare for the Mega-Battle
Ready to join the fray? Here is your checklist to make sure you are battle-ready for June 27th and 28th:
- Join the Discord: This is the most critical step! All sign-ups, team assignments, and point tracking are happening on the Nerd Haven Discord. Head over to the Warhammer channel to find the sign-up sheet.
- Count Your Points: Decide which faction you are bringing and tally up your total points. Don’t be afraid to go big: if you’ve got it, bring it!
- Finish Your Paint Jobs: There is nothing more satisfying than a fully painted Apocalypse table. We host Hobby and Paint Nights every Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Come down, grab some coffee, and get those highlights finished before the big weekend.
- Check Your Gear: Ensure you have enough dice, tape measures, and your 10th Edition Index cards or Codex. If you need to pick up a few extra models to round out your force, remember that we offer up to 15% off Warhammer products every day.
Why You Shouldn't Miss It
Transitions between editions are rare and momentous occasions in the Warhammer hobby. This Apocalypse game is our way of saying "thank you" to the local community that makes Nerd Haven Games such a fantastic place to play. It’s about the stories we'll tell for years: like the time a lone Scout held off a Bloodthirster, or when a coordinated Titan strike wiped out an entire flank.
We want to see the tables groaning under the weight of plastic and the store filled with the sound of laughter (and maybe a little bit of tactical shouting). Whether you've been playing since Rogue Trader or just started your first Combat Patrol in 10th, there is a place for you in this mega-battle.
