Short On Time? You Gotta Try This!
⚔️ King of the Colosseum: Fast, Fun, and Full of 40K Flavor
If you’ve been in the Warhammer 40K scene for any length of time, chances are you’ve come across the brilliant folks at Play On Tabletop and their custom game mode: King of the Colosseum.
And if you’re anything like us, you love the depth and drama of 40K—but don’t always have the time (or table space) for a full-scale Strike Force or Incursion match. That’s where this format shines.
King of the Colosseum is a fast-paced, 500-point-per-army mode that delivers a complete game experience in under an hour. You still get to flex your faction’s full rules and flavor, but in a compact, tactical slugfest that’s perfect for weeknights, demos, or hobby nights.
There’s even custom terrain built specifically for the format—pre-marked mats, modular ruins, and thematic walls that make setup a breeze and gameplay immersive. While not required, it adds a cinematic punch that’s hard to resist.

Whether you’re a veteran looking for a fresh twist or a newcomer seeking a bite-sized way to play, this mode is well worth your time.
