The God-Emperor of Mankind exists in a living death on the Golden Throne, a machine that both keeps him alive and allows his psychic might to hold the Daemons of Chaos at bay. The Golden Throne is now under assault, and you must take a stand — will you defend the Emperor, or aid in his destruction?
A Hero’s Stand is a two-day, five-round Golden Throne Grand Tournament warmup event. We’ll use the first five scenarios for the Golden Throne Grand Tournament, which can be found here.
The entry fee for this event is $25 per person. We’ll play three games on Saturday and two more on Sunday, plus a playoff game for first and second place. After the last round is finished we’ll give away 100% of the entry fees as store credit to top finishers, best painted army and favorite opponent. Store credit can be redeemed for anything we carry, from Games Workshop or Privateer Press models to Battlefoam, Magic cards or special orders for out-of-stock items.
Our first-place winner will also win a ticket to the Golden Throne Grand Tournament in San Jose this August!
The emphasis on this event is fun, friendly gaming. We’ll include chili dog, chips, great terrain and a lot of fun with your entry.

Entry fee: $10
Point level: 3000pts per person
Start time: 10am
Once per year Heroes on Paper runs a HUGE Warhammer 40k event — and this November it’s going to be a store-wide Apocalypse battle!
Each player may field up to 3000pts. We’re using standard rules (NO Apoc strategems, etc.), with the following exceptions: no Force Organization (you may field units from multiple armies); and you MAY field super-heavies, but they cost 50% MORE points than listed.
Players who don’t have 3000pts can still participate by teaming up! In that case the entry fee is $10 per team and one player must be nominated as general. The general will have the final say in all team decisions.
The store will split all players into two teams. We’ll be providing pizza to everyone who enters the event, and we’ll be awarding prizes to best general, best sportsman and coolest overall army.
The goal of an escalation league is for you to begin with a small force and add to it in small increments as time passes. Each week we’ll add 250pts to the size of our battles. Unlike previous escalation leagues, this time around you’re allowed to add or remove units at your discretion — you only have to stick with the same army from week to week!
Each week of the Escalation League lasts Sunday through Saturday. All players will be assigned their opponents on Sunday for the following week, and it will be up to those players to set a date and time for their League game if they’re not available on Sunday, which is our official League day. While games do not have to be played on Sundays, they do have to be played at Heroes on Paper.
Each League game that you play earns you points. Points are awarded as follows:
- Win: 3 Points
- Draw: 2 Points
- Loss: 1 Point
- Painted Army (requires at least 2 colors on each model you field): +1 Bonus Point
Each player will play two Escalation League games against the one opponent each week.
