    Wargames Con June 21st-24th Austin Texas at the Austin Renaissance!

    Wargames Con is back for its 4th year, bigger and better than ever!

    We have grown so much that we’re the second largest Wargaming convention behind Adepticon. With that said we have decided to expand and move into a whole new venue with three times the space! This has opened up new opportunities for us and our attendees!

    Here is schedule for this year’s Wargames Con 2012

    Friday June 22
    • Warhammer 40K and Fantasy Pairs Events
    • 40K Mirror Match Tournament
    • Flames of War 1750pt Early War (1-day)
    • Warmachine/Hordes 15pt Blitzmachine tournament / 10 Rounds


    Saturday and Sunday June 23-24
    • Warhammer 40K 7-game GT
    • Warhammer Fantasy 5-game GT
    • Flames of War 1750pt Early War Nationals (2-day)
    • Warmachine/Hordes 50pt Hardcore tournament / 5 Rounds - Saturday
    • Warmachine/Hordes 50pt Steamroller tournament / 5 Rounds –Sunday
    • Warhammer 40K Narrative Anti-Tournament

    So what’s new?


    *15 Extra Minutes for 40K players!
    -All the Warhamemr 40000 GT games are now 2:15 rounds.

    *Massive Vendor Hall
    – 10,000 SQ Feet of vendor Space. 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.

    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.

    • Narrative Games! Bigger and Better!
    o 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.
    o Second theme is the Battle 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
    This concept was 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.

    After reading this I have decided that the movie "Pineaple Express" should redo one of its quotes from:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law."

    To:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Nick Rose."
