After last year's resounding success, Lock & Load US 2026 is returning to St Louis for a mega three-day experience!
Head to Eventbrite now to grab your early bird VIP badge and secure your swag
Warfaire Weekend were fantastic hosts in 2025, and we want to say a huge thanks to Walker and the team. Moving forward, Lock & Load US will be standing on its own two feet and running as an independent event!
Join us at the Sheraton Westport Chalet Hotel, St. Louis, MO, from November 6-8 — yes, the same excellent venue from last year — for an incredible weekend of Warmachine.
Your badge will get you access to a Warmachine experience like no other
Join the team behind Warmachine and players from around the world for three glorious days of Steamroller tournaments, Grand Narratives, Frontlines events, Iron Arena pick-up games, painting sessions, game development and lore seminars, live reveals in one of our legendary Warmachine keynotes, an Iron Gauntlet Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), and the esteemed Iron Gauntlet US 2026 Finals.
For the Guild Ballers, there's open play and Regional Cups happening all weekend.
If you've got a Lock & Load badge for that day (not including social only badges), you can sign up for any event* as long as you've booked your spot.
*Except the Iron Gauntlet Finals, of course — unless you qualify in the LCQ!
We’ve got plenty of events for you to look forward to, from tournaments to seminars and more. The event preview will release soon, so you can start planning your weekend.
Bag your early bird VIP badge today, and we'll see you in St Louis!
