Tabletop gaming is levelling up at PAX Australia '25
PAX Australia 2025 is fast approaching, which means details are slowly going to be revealed and for those Tabletop fans, the hall this year will be packed with more to do than ever before, including the PAX Australia debut of Warhammer.
Before we get into the list of reveals, I did want to call out that the Paint and Take booth is returning again this year. Those who want to take part just need to show up, select a figure, grab some paint and get to painting and if you get stuck the folks at the booth will be happy to help. After 6pm on Friday and Saturday there will be special events happening as well.
As for the other big additions, due to how much is going on with this first wave of announcements, we have provided the details below as they were provided to us.
