WargamesCon – Everybody is doing it.

By Rob Baer | December 21st, 2011 | Categories: WarGamesCon 2011

Don’t wait, WargamesCon is coming soon (well okay its like six months away, but still) get your ticket today!

There are several must attend events to go to each year, and this is one of them.

I’ve been the past two years (I think- I don’t remember much of one of them due to an unrelated issue), and they were a blast.

Bid Red, J Wolf and company do a great job every time, and this year they are aiming for the stars, so why not attend?

Details below, and more- as always, to come. MBG



WargamesCon is back for its 4th year, bigger and better than ever.! All new massive venue –  June 21st-24th at the Austin Renaissance. Be There!

Our old hotel just wasn’t big enough for you all, so we have moved to an all new venue with triple the space, a full vendor hall, and hundreds of more tables.  Here’s a rundown on what to expect schedule wise for our biggest WargamesCon yet!

Friday June 22

40K Mirror Match Tournament

Flames of War 1750pt Early War (1-day)

Warmachine 15pt Mangled Metal Tooth and Claw

So what’s new?

15 Glorious Extra Minutes 40K players! – You heard that right, all the Warhamemr 40000 GT games are now 2:15 rounds.  Now you get an extra 15 minutes per round to pack in the shootin and stompin!  

Massive Vendor Hall – That’s right, with our new hotel, you can expect to see a full fledged vendor hall jam packed with all your favorite companies, and wargames suppliers.  We have some BIG NAMES coming, so watch this space…  More details to come.

Warmachine and Flames of War – Back in their three day all weekend event tracks. Flames of War will include the Early War Nationals Invitational, while Warmachine now includes after-hours “Up-All-Night” madness for the truly hardcore. So all you fans come on down and spend the entire weekend with us!

Our Warhammer Fantasy Grand Tournament returns with 2500 points with 2.5 hour rounds. 

Our Narrative tables will be bigger with more players per table. We are doing the Eye of Terror using the Forces of Disorder under command of a mighty Chaos Warmaster attempting to smash asunder the Imperium’s Cadian Gate. Our second theme is theBattle of Kallidus, and that means Greenskins everywhere forming a massive Waaagh that threatens to overrun the Space Marine and Imperial Guard defenders. Its gonna be an Apocalyptic blast – oh and don’t forget about all the flyer, superheavy, and Titan goodness!  

The 40K Mirror Match is a concept so good, it had to return for its second year – if we all played the same list, who would win? This year we’ve created a new Chaos Space Marine list (unveiled soon) that gives players a chance to find out who is the best with it on Friday. Missions will be very simple, and the winner will be strictly determined by winning games. This event is limited to 32 players, with everyone playing the first 4 games and the finals being for all the marbles.  So who REALLY is the Warmaster?

So head on over to the WarGamesCon page, and get registered. We are aiming to make the Warhammer 40000 GT the largest single Tournament EVER, so get your tickets fast.  The first 300 registrants are guaranteed a collectible badge. Speaking of the Renaissance Hotel…
