Hobby Table mixes factions, not universes

These are unofficial fan notes about Warhammer Survivors, written from public sources compiled by the independent guide at warhammersurvivors.org. This page is not affiliated with Games Workshop, Auroch Digital, or poncle. Check the tooltips on your installed build when details differ.

A Hobby Table stage is built to put more than one enemy faction in front of you, sometimes at the same time, amid modelling tools, paint pots, and other tabletop scenery. The developer has described versions for both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. Champions stay inside their own universe. Seeing several factions on one table is part of the announced design, not a sign that a save or an enemy selector has broken.

That same preview does not describe a single shared map where every champion from both universes fights together. A 40,000 character remains in that universe’s stage context; an Age of Sigmar champion belongs to the other.

Read each warning on its own

Because packs can look mixed, it helps to identify the skill that is actually closing your route rather than treating the nearest group as one problem. A charge, a moving firing lane, and a poison zone ask for different movement even when they happen close together. The enemy-skills notes collect the documented signals (for example Von Ryan’s Leaper pouncing over a front rank, or a Ratling Gunner laying down a lane). They do not give a full-stage spawn sequence.

Faction buffs can change the same screen without being a new item choice. If lesser Tyranids suddenly get faster and hit harder around a larger bioform, that may be Synapse, which is covered on the next page, not a random stat swing.

Paint pots are a different system

Hobby scenery on the table is not the same thing as the progression objects called paint pots. Those pots unlock character forms and secrets, according to the official store, and they have their own conditions. The paint-pot notes also record a launch-day Steam hotfix that changed two of the counters. Do not treat a piece of table scenery as proof of an unlock threshold, and do not invent a complete pot catalog from a paint name.

The official “Hang-out at the Hobby Table” preview is dated 17 June 2026. The guide’s source review is 12 November 2026. Layout coordinates, collectible spots, and a complete objective route were not published there, and they are not invented here. Procedures have not been independently play-tested on this page.
