NOVA Open 2025 Vendor Hall
Welcome to the NOVA Open 2025 Exhibitor Hall—the heart of the convention and the best place to discover games, miniatures, hobby tools, and accessories from across the tabletop world. As you explore, use the booth numbers below to find your way to the highlights.
NOVA Open RPGs!
Role-playing games are back and Bigger than ever in 2025! With over 75 sessions across dozens of game systems, there is something for everyone in this year’s RPG offerings!
40k Balance Update Adopted for All Events
Hot off the presses! Games Workshop today released a Balance Update for three factions - Imperial Knights, Chaos Knights, and Death Guard.
NOVA Open will adopt these changes for all Warhammer 40,000 events. We want to share a quick update from the 40k Events Team about this rules update.
Even MORE Battletech!
Battletech at NOVA Open 2025 was already bigger than ever, but we’ve partnered with Catalyst Game Labs to bring EVEN MORE Battletech events to the show this year. There are now more ways than ever to enjoy this fast-paced game of giant mech combat in the far future. Join us for our Flagship 2-day tournament or drop in for a casual Grinder event (new sessions added Thu-Sun!). There are also some unique narrative formats available.
Warhammer Army Showcase
NOVA Open has a long history of players bringing incredible care, creativity, and skill to the models they field in organized play. Many events give awards for the artistic side of the hobby. But often the talent of our players is only seen by their opponents or nearby tables. This year, we want to change that and show everyone at the NOVA Open what our tournament players can do! We are partnering with Games Workshop to launch a new convention-wide Warhammer Army Showcase celebrating the best that hobbyists have to offer for all Games Workshop games!
Last Minute Available Art Classes
Art Classes are selling out left and right (over 80% sold!), but there are still a few available for various skill levels. Whether you are new to miniature painting or are an accomplished painter, there is something for everyone!
