Come on down today to the Warlord Open Games Day is a showcase for all of the tabletop miniature wargames that come out of Warlord Games HQ in Nottingham England, from Bolt Action to Hail Caesar, and even the new games such as Project Z and Konflikt ’47.
Come & have a go tables
All the miniatures are provided, along with terrain, and we have table bosses that will be happy to introduce you to whichever games you want to try. And you can try as many as you like!
The game tables will have varying levels of play, from beginner to advanced, for Hail Caesar, Pike and Shotte, Black Powder, Bolt Action, and Beyond the Gates of Antares. Additionally, there will be tables for Judge Dredd, Terminator: Genisys, Project Z and Konflikt ’47.
No previous knowledge of the rules is needed. Just jump in and start playing!
Sign Up for a tournament
If you have a painted army and you would like to display your skills as a tabletop general, why not sign up for one of our tournaments. We are running both a Bolt Action and a Beyond the Gates of Antares tournament. We are also having a painting contest. Prizes will be awarded for the tournaments and for the painting contest.

The hall reopens at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, 18 June, with all the vendors in place and all demo tables ready to go. We will also start round two of the tournaments. Round three of the tournaments will start at 1:30 p.m., after lunch, and conclude with plenty of time for the tournament players to be able to give the demo tables a try including Mary Profitt and her husband Rickey Morang on hand to show you some painting ideas, as well as lighting models with fiber optics and using LEDs …AWESOME HUH…The hall will stay open until 11:30 p.m. so everyone will get plenty of gaming time.

Making it happen
We know not everyone can attend our Open Games Day in Oklahoma City but may still want to know what they can do to help make it happen. We have set up a GoFundMe page to allow for that help and to help offset some of the costs involved. The funds raised there will go towards the cost of the hall, the swag bags, flyers, programs and prize support for our event. And we have rewards for contribution levels. We will ship the reward to you. If you would like to help just go here.
