...Lets just chalk that one up to auto-correct and move on

So, prizes. I understand some people like prizes when they win (or even 'do well') so despite with most of the support resources going towards the swag bags, I organised for a few. Aside from the already announced CGS Dragon trophies and certificates, Highlander winners will receive gift certificates from Mind Games Canberra to the tune of...

1st - $80
2nd - $50
3rd - $30

And 1st place also gets a WM 'Wrath' book release poster from PPress. Now that might not seem too exciting since everybody is getting a Wrath poster from PPress in their swag bag. The difference is all that the winner's poster sports rather a lot of signatures from the PPress Mothership.

Enjoy - more to come later

Maybe you could get former number 1, James Moorhouse, to sign the posters as well?!

Fair warning - Mr Moorehouse assures me he intends to use his feat at Cancon. Beware!

I thought we shoed those feet...

My Circle battle engine turned up today. Be afraid.

Just had a good question WRT the Highlander event and tier lists. The short
version is that tier lists are allowed, but they do *not* over ride the format restrictions.

I'm wondering what the spread of armies is going to be?
I figure people will know what armies they'll run if they don't know exact lists

I'll be running Mercs/Mercs

Running:Cygnar and Cygnar. Still learning the basics....

Legion/Legion

I am going to be running scared ;-)

OK, seriously - I'll edit these into the 1st post when I get home (next week).

What was the final decision on list submission/checking?

James McTernan - Protectorate of Menoth

Read the pack :-)

Alas, Crappy iPhone access only on holidays. Ill just wait until I get back to Canberra next week.
Thanks for the info.

Ah, fair enough. The short version is that players can submit them on the morning or via email. Full details in the pack.

Nobody else wants to share which faction they will be playing? ...odd.

Jeff Galea: retribution (both days)!

David Potts: Circle (for the big event)

Ben Leeper, will be using Circle.

Andrew Haidon -Molik Karn Skorne

Andrew Martin: Cryx/Cryx

Tromboner: Skorne

Trevor Cowper: trolls/trolls

Tobias Ford faction (both days)

Hammer Time: irrelevant, ill still whip ass

Seeing as in the time you have known me and this being my 7th Cancon, and haven't ever played with a different faction, I figured you would know... But for the rest of you I can only proclaim this: "VICTORY FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!!!!"

SS

Fair warning - odds are now *very* good that there will be a prize for the best painted army in the 50pt event.

Lachlan Macwhirter - Cygnar

Good news, whilst ill have a fully painter army i doubt it will be worthy of this honour.. one of the armies ive painted for one of our players better not win, annoyingly I painted t better than my own army so now I have to go back and repaint some things!

Just finished painting my Gators os will have them for both days

Something that has worked well in the past to encourage people to field a fully painted army was a special prize draw for fully painted armies... rather than the best painted army - something which only 1% of the player population will generally have a chance to win..

I.e. If you are fielding painted army at the event, you get a ticket into the draw to win a prize...

Just a thought.

Good idea and puts everybody that has put time and effort into this side of things in with an equal chance.

As to my army- was going with Cygnar both days but trying to get 25 pts of Legion done for the Highlander event. Nearly have everything assembled but painting maybe a different story.

Yes, its a fine idea and a concept I am well aware of and specifically considered for this event. However, all going to plan, I have gained access to a judging panel that has probably won its body-weight in Golden Demon statues.

It seemed a waste to have them drawing raffle tickets from a hat, so the sponsor and I went with something else.

You're not playing Legion? Are you sick?

so there is one prize winner?

I'll announce full and final details as soon as I can. In the meantime, I thought it would be a good idea to give people a heads up that there is something in the works for painting.

Cool. Is it just for those who painted their own armies, or are bought/commission paid work eligible?

How many games on Sunday?

Honestly, it will depend on how things go Saturday, but I would say 1 is certain, 2 is likely and 3 is unlikely.






I know my own thoughts, but let me confirm matters with the sponsor/judges. Stay tuned.

My girlfriend is starting WM this month to come play in the 25 pt event. She's looking forward to the swag bag. Great idea mate!!

Good to hear


A quick update - We are down to just 7 slots for the Friday event and I have received (and approved) the 1st set of lists for a player. Keen them coming. The more work that can be done in advance the better.

I have added factions to the list of names in the 1st post. If you posted and I haven't added it I either missed your post, or don't know your real name. In either case a PM will sort it out.

I will continue to add factions if people continue to post them.

I got my 50pt lists set, just working out if I can get a decent 2nd list for the 25pt highlander... i wantd to submit them all together.

Moar banes prizes!

1st - 3rd of the 50pt event will receive gift certificates from the ever awesome Defiant Gaming. $120 for 1st, $80 for 2nd and $40 for 3rd.

So as I can no longer attend this event, is the general procedure to on-sell the ticket to another person or get a refund from the organisers?

I was looking forward to a rematch You should probs just get in touch with the CGS.

Get a refund from CGS and send me a PM (ASAP) with your real name to formally advise that you are giving up your spot(s). After I get the PM I'll put up a post confirming the vaccancy and seeking an alternate player. Until I get that PM and have made that post, there is no vacancy and any posts seeking the spot will be ignored.

Saviour i'll take your ticket!!

As yet, I have not received a PM from Saviour or an email from CGS advising of a withdrawal.

As such, there is no vacancy as far as I am concerned.

People have started submitting their lists via email as suggested on pg 3 of the players pack. This is a good thing. Keep them coming people.

Does Victor Pendrake count as a Cygnar solo for Highlander? (it seems that is the case since he has Cygnar in his description, but want to clarify pls)
