Lock & Load US 2025 – Get your badge today!

Lock & Load returns this November 14–16!

And it’s packed to the rafters with tabletop action.

Running alongside Warfaire Weekend in St. Louis, Missouri, Lock & Load is a full weekend of wargaming action. It’s packed with Warmachine goodness, tournaments for Guild Ball and Godtear, P3 Paints hobby sessions, and even a P3 Paints Grandmaster competition to showcase your miniature painting skills.

Whether you’re looking to dive into matched play, get immersed in narrative events, or just throw dice with friends, there’s loads to get stuck into — including the Iron Gauntlet US Final, with a last-chance qualifier kicking things off on Friday.

You can hit the Iron Arena for pick-up games, take on the tournaments, or just hang out with fellow gamers (including the Steamforged team!) for a wargaming weekend to remember.
