Event Name
Feature Text Description
Necromunda Back by popular demand! The Necromunda board has
been one of the center pieces of our games, and it is
normally full. This is the GW Standard Necromunda
Game played with up to 4 gangs in an gritty urban
environment. As Origins progresses, so will the gangs. So
each game over the run of Origins will work with the
same gangs, but the capabilities will change over the
run. Want to run a gang for the whole of Origins? Sign
up for all the games. All materials will be provided. The
big question is what color will the flamingos be this
year?
Zone

beautiful board with fantastic miniatures. The game
uses the Zone Mortalis rules that are a free download
from the FW website. Please see the 40KOrigins.com
website for updates on this event.

WAAAA!
What do you get when you take Warhammer 40K's
craziest creatures - the Grots and put them on Ork
motorcycles racing on a tight figure 8 track, with
blessings from the Weirdboyz and Big Mek that can
make motorcycles run faster backwards, or drop spikes
on the track behind the cycle. Add a few rowdy Orks in
the stands with their usual guns and things can get
pretty crazy. Laughter and fun fill this game that is
appropriate for all ages.

This is a 1 time event, a chance to play on a massive
board with all the released units. Ogre 6th Edition comes
in a box that is huge and so there needs to be a huge
multiplayer game. With more than a dozen factions
available, every player will get to set their own strategy.
The rules are simple, the fun infective and it is so early in
the convention, and you should not have any conflicts.
Normally we get Pizza at some point during the game
and share.

era miniature game. Based on the Rivet's comic, the
