What’s the craziest place you’ve ever played a game- we doubt it was quite as far south (or as expensive) as playing Warahmemr 40k in Antarctica!
Have you ever dreamed of taking a trip to a place that has built-in terrain everywhere you look? Well, that’s what these crazy gamers did (well, they obviously didn’t go just to play Warhammer 40k), and it’s just amazing to see!
While we don’t have a full battle report, just seeing the pictures of the minis in the snow is cool enough. Plus, now we have a new bucket list item to check off as hobbyists, but maybe we’ll just go somewhere exotic and warm instead!
Playing The Most Expensive Game of Warhammer 40k in Antarctica
This comes from the HMS Protector Twitter, and they obviously have some serious Warhammer 40k fans on board!
Whilst at Rothera last weekend, HM2 and XOA challenged each other to perhaps the most southerly game of Warhammer 4K ever? @whitedwarf @GlasshammerUK @GWR pic.twitter.com/0SJONFBNly

The battle pitted Space Marines against the Imperial Guard!
They even made a nice level bit of snow to roll the dice on. Without it, you would have plenty of wobbly dice!
The Space Marines even had quite the nice winter-theme for the battle, as it should be! If you’re going to this much snow, you better have your army in their best winter gear!
Last but not least, the Commissar had to show this Marine who rules the south!
Could you imagine the costs of going to Antarctica to play a game of Warhammer 40k? Not everyone can just float down on an icebreaker from the Royal Navy.
Can you imagine actually playing 40k somewhere like Antarctica? Where’s the craziest place you’ve played?
