Lock & Load GameFest 2013 was amazing, and everyone here at Privateer Press had an awesome experience spending time with all of you and sharing what we do with the world. 2014 is right around the corner, though, and that means it’s time to set our sights on bigger and better things. That can only mean one thing: Lock & Load GameFest 2014!

This year we will bring you a bigger, better, supercharged edition of Lock & Load, so much so that we changed venues to give us room! This coming year Lock & Load GameFest will move to the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Washington. The new venue is huge, with a gaming area twice as large as last year’s. That means more gaming space, larger classrooms, and more fun!

Lock & Load GameFest 2014 is going to blow the doors off of its predecessors!

This year will see the return of many Lock & Load favorites, like Iron Painter and the Costume Contest, along with a full boat of tournament and seminar offerings. The Privateer Press Studio artists will be on hand, painting, sculpting, working on terrain, and answering your questions about the hobby. We’ll be streaming live a lot of the excitement, showing off the top tables from some of our most competitive events. We’ll even be crowning our first World Champion after our first annual Iron Gauntlet: The WARMACHINE and HORDES World Championship Finals!

Mark your calendar for June 6–8, 2014, at the Meydenbauer Center, and keep your eye on privateerpress.com for all the latest updates and information. Badges go on sale soon, and this is one show you won’t want to miss!
