Step into Middle-earth at our Lord of the Rings Paint Party and bring one of Tolkien's legendary characters to life! Whether you stand with the Free Peoples or hide deep in depth of Khazad-dûm- we have a character for you. But let's be real- you're probably just going to get Gollum.

No painting experience? No problem! We'll provide everything you need for an evening of creativity, laughs, and an amazing community of fellow nerds. Whether you're a lifelong Tolkien fan or just looking for a fun night out, we'd love to have you join us!

🕷️⚔️ CALYPSO'S RIFT ⚔️🕷️

August 29th–30th Join us for a 2-Day Narrative Horus Heresy Event where Loyalist and Traitor forces clash for control of Calypso's Rift while struggling to survive against the ever-growing Mega-Arachnid Hive Fleet.

A shattered, fog-drenched moon hangs in the galactic north, forever scarred by the apocalyptic Ruinstorm unleashed during the Battle of Calth. Deep within the toxic jungles and ruined wastelands of Calypso's Rift, the native Mega-Arachnid swarms have undergone a terrifying transformation.

These monstrous creatures have evolved the ability to incorporate organic metal into their biology, accelerating their development at an alarming rate. Once dismissed as little more than predators, they have grown into a threat capable of challenging even the mighty Legiones Astartes. Their razor-sharp talons can carve through power armor, and with every battle fought, they adapt, evolve, and become even more deadly.

🎲 2 Days of Narrative Gameplay
🕷️ Fan-Made Tyranid Rules Representing the Mega-Arachnid Swarms
⚔️ Loyalists vs. Traitors
🎨 Hobby & Narrative Focus
🏆 Event Awards & Story-Driven Objectives
You must RSVP: https://app.getoccasion.com/p/n/5SbFtVvH

Will you claim Calypso's Rift for the Emperor?

Or deliver it to the Warmaster's cause?

Either way, the swarms are watching... and they are hungry.
