Looking to actually play Warhammer without jumping straight into competitive lists? Our 40K Escalation League is built for casual players who want relaxed games, steady army growth, and a reason to get models on the table. Start at 250 points, grow each month, play as many games as you want, and earn rewards just for participating. Free to join, beginner friendly, and focused on fun over optimization.
