Lock & Load GameFest 2019 is looming on the horizon: June 21–23, 2019!

What can you expect?

Literally, TONS of gaming: it takes us two big trucks making multiple trips to and from the Hilton to get everything locked and loaded for the weekend, delivering everything from the A/V equipment we use to share the event with all of you via twitch.tv/privateerpress to boxes upon boxes of games, terrain mats, prizes, store merchandise, and more!

And coming under their own horrifying steam…the Infernals have arrived!

Lock & Load GameFest will be your first chance to get your hands on the Infernals, the newest and most harrowing Faction to ever invade the Iron Kingdoms. Long foreshadowed and foretold since the original Iron Kingdoms RPG material, the wait is [almost] over…and then the real terror sets in when your new models hit the tabletop!

We even made a new Faction patch to celebrate (or mourn, if you’re a victim of the Infernals), which you can pick up at the show!

There will, of course, be the Iron Gauntlet Tournament, a culmination of various qualifying events (including a last-chance qualifier at Lock & Load itself), all leading up to the best-of-the-best players taking each other on for the world title and eternal WARMACHINE & HORDES glory!

MONSTERPOCALYPSE gets not one but two inagural Lock & Load tournaments with a one-monster event and a two-monster event. Get ready to reach out and crush your competition!

Narrative events also get featured slots with TWO Stormbreak sessions for WARMACHINE & HORDES, a MONSTERPOCALYPSE event, as well as Caster Draft, Who’s the Boss, and more!

Our 2017 Boarsgate narrative custom table…This year’s tables are destined to look more desolate, given recent events…

Looking to try a brand-new game or new to the hobby? We’ll have sneak-peek demos of Riot Quest—this summer’s upcoming release where you battle for booty in the most chaotic skirmish game you’ve ever seen. Be here for a first look at the madness that may yet be the future of the Iron Kingdoms!

You’ll also find demos of MONSTERPOCALYPSE and more, as well as pick-up games and other side events all weekend long in the Iron Arena. Earn skulls for all your games played and score some signature prizes deep from the Privateer Press vaults!

Need to pick up a brush or want some tips on wielding one? Join our studio crew in the Hobby Lounge to Get Your Paint On! You’ll also learn how to make amazing and interactive terrain and might just catch a spoiler from one sculptor (in particular) who famously hates secrets!

Planning to ninja shop for your buddies who can’t join us? Our store will have a whole host of new and returning items for you to snag, including the exclusive and spectacular Zaal, the Ancestral Eye; the exclusive Lady Doom Reaver; brand-new Infernals Privateer Pins, our first Monsterpocalypse pins (Gorghadra and Defender-X), and more! Bring that extra suitcase, just in case!
