April 13, 2025 was a milestone for the tabletop wargaming scene in Davao City as Pair O’ Dice proudly hosted the Proving Grounds Warhammer 40k Incursion Tournament — a beginner-friendly event tailored for new players ready to step into competitive play.
This Warhammer 40k tournament in Davao featured a 1000-point Incursion format, making it the perfect entry point for hobbyists building up their armies. Players battled it out across three rounds using the Pariah Nexus mission pack, which delivered fast-paced, tactical gameplay and objective-focused missions that tested both strategy and grit.
From intense firefights to cinematic charges, the tables at Pair O’ Dice were alive with action and camaraderie. For many, it was their first Warhammer tournament experience in Davao, and the energy was electric from deployment to final score.
