This is going to be insanely awesome!

In this matter, both events use the normal SR2011 rules. Specifically, while you may bring 2 lists you are not obligated to use both.



Start times for both events will be listed in the players pack, which I hope to finish tomorrow and post within 24 hours of finishing. Stay tuned.

OK, while the enthusiasm is amazing, at this late stage I am not going to increase the player cap.

Prize support has already been agreed and in some cases shipped. In particular, adding more people will screw with the swag bags. Honestly, those things have been a a bit of a PITA. Next year I am probably going to add some kind of painting prize and give 'more' to the 'Best of faction' winners instead.

In addition, some people have already booked return flights. Going over 64 players will add a round, screwing with their plans thus greatly encouraging drop outs.

But I promise all of you this - Next year we aim 'big' right from the start

Was wondering where the players pack was lol
This tourney's gonna be awesome

I cannot wait!! this is going to be the biggest tournament I have ever attended... im giddy with excitment!

Aim for 128 next year, then it will be the second biggest tournament I have played in!

I am getting super pumped for this event now...



Cheers

Okay, I am registered! Just in before the event is full. Holy crap, I didn't even think December was leaving it late at all.

By the way, I am counting toward the total of ACT registrations, having emigrated(?) from NSW earlier this year.

Now the question is, what to field in my lists? (And who still needs painting?)...

Should be a fantastic weekend.

The 7th edition fantasy player in me is shedding a tear though since itll be the first dogcon i havent attended in about 6-7 years...

Are there seriously no painting prizes? That's a little sad... I think it's a really important part of the hobby

Pretty sure Dog Con got moved back a week?

And SpacedOut, paint everything. At the same time.

Dude - I didn't know you had moved here You'll have to come out some night and give me a game.




Painting is important, and I had thought that making the swag bags dependant on either playing fully painted or early bird pre-registration would be a good incentive. Looks like I misjudged that one.

Hmmmm.... I'll see what I can do. No promises tho.

I'm sure we can do something Jygg

Dangit, i really friggin wish I was going. I'll let you know if I win the lotto over the xmas holidays.

Cancon is going to be massive.

Well I guess I just took the last spot since 66 makes less sense than 64

Just throwing it out there that I'll be fully painted.

Great news Tobias, Ret brothers in arms

I will be fully painted as well Amigo!

At this rate so will I, and I challenge everyone to try and paint at least one of their lists

I will paint at least 1 more of my models than James will paint of his.
;p

Update...
The 50pt SRoller on Sat/Sun is FULL. Awesome work people
There are still 8 spots left for the Friday event.

BTW - this seems like a good time to remind people of the Challenges Thread.
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?...128459&st=0

If it is capped at 64 players.... and there are 67 on the front page.....

Whats the deal?

some are Friday only...

Some people have only signed up for the Highlander, some have only signed up for the Steamroller

Awesome - didn't want to book air fares if i was a back up player.

Get it done JJ!

And I should have all my stuff painted. Some of it looks arse, but at least its not bare metal...

Maybe it's just me or a typo - but it looks like there are only two people not playing sat/sun meaning I'd be 65. Please confirm J.

Cheers

Aiming to be Fully painted as well - big challenge!

I don't think the Cancon registration system would allow more than 64 players to pay and register - so it might be just a typo from the front page..

I don't think i've been to an event of this size when there haven't been 2-3 people dropping out at the last minute anyway...

FYI there is some guys (such as Trent, Tobias) that are still listed on the ARC forum thread as attending that event.

Ya'll might want to let them know so they take you off their planned attendance.

In a bit of a rush, but thought you guys might like this...

CCon2012 Players Pack

Looks realy good, I cant wait...

G'day all

The pack has an error in it. The formula for falling damage given in the quick reference sheets suffered a copy/paste/typo/etc. I may fix it, but I also may not get to it, so just be aware of it.

If anybody else finds a typo/error please let me know ASAP.

Just in to make sure the old ‘Chinese whispers’ don’t get too much of a foothold....
There was a glitch that resulted in the CGS registration system continuing to accept registrations for the 50pt SRoller above the 64 player cap. Luckily, only one person submitted a registration before the glitch was noticed/corrected and the registration system is no longer accepting entries for Saturday.

The player list at the start of this thread has been double checked and is accurate. If you are listed, do not fear for your registration status. If you registered and your name does not appear please let me know ASAP.

Going forward...
Initially it appeared that Desert_Spiral’s registration would be problematic. However, it now appears that another player will withdraw from the Sat/Sun event, making Desert_Spiral the 64th player. All is well that ends well.

If another player decides to drop out before the event, I will post in this thread seeking an alternate on a ‘1st in, 1st served’ basis. I will then work with the identified alternate and CGS with regard to paying and formalising the registration. If all else fails, the identified alternate will be allowed to register/pay on the day.

In addition, I will accept names (again on a '1st in, 1st served' basis) the morning of each event to cover any no shows.

Registered players – like it says in the pack DO NOT BE LATE. I really don’t want to give away your space, but I will not screw over the other 63 players because you got distracted by something shiny (or a hotdog).

So please, respect the tournament, the other players and the clock.

but if its a really quality hot dog?


or if i am really, really drunk?

...OK, so you have clearly never been to Cancon

Alternatively, what if we give you the shiny thing? Then can we still play?

A game might be appreciated - I haven't played Warmahordes in so long that I'm liable to have rust on my rust.

Anyway I've been pretty mired in writing up this thesis, so I still haven't ventured out into the local gaming community yet. What on earth happened to the old Defiant forums? That would have been my jumping off point, but it seems they closed around the time I made the move...

Log into your Facebook account - I have added you to the Canberra WM/H group.

AS for a game, I can usually be found at Good Games on Monday nights. Love to see you there.

And Good luck with the thesis

Anybody else receive a box from Seattle yesterday?

...no? OK then. Guess I'll just have to share whats in my box with all of you

Question re the rules pack: Several of the terrain features are classified as “obstructions”, eg buildings and rocks. However the definition of obstruction on page 9 doesn’t say anything about obstructions providing cover. Can I just confirm that was intended or should obstructions, such as buildings and rocks, provide cover?

Thanks Adam.

Gaining cover from terrain isn't a function of its status as an obstacle, obstruction, etc. Its covered by a separate rule in the section on combat - see pg 57 of WM Prime.

Quick Question.
According to the Players Pack:


Nicia, Tear of Vengeance is set to be released January 11. Would this mean she is eligible for inclusion in one of my lists?

Nope. Because if you look in the very 1st post of this thead you'll see...



You are probably right tho, I should have put it into the pack as well as the 1st post and the Cancon booklet.

Oops. Cheers.

Dave you’ve been in the ACT for a while now and you have not been out gaming? that thesis should be done by now though i bet its still needing a few final touches

Quick note - I have updated the Players Pack to fix a couple typos and add some information. Everything I added/changed has already been covered in this thread.

In relation to this, How strict is it? As I have a bane thrall with one of the shoulder pads missing, Or the spikes ontop of my seether. As of yet have not purchased more, will this mean I need to purchase some more to be able to use them?

Neither of those examples would be a problem.

Ok so its more major fualts in assembly?? Arms missing and such?? Thats good news for me i suppose.
