Not sure who all is goign to dor PRO for the overall WARPCON but I figured no
one will give out for blurbing this part of it
http://www.warpcon.com/
Running from 25th to 27th January 2008
Special Guest - Jervis Johnson
LOTS of wargaming.
There will be plenty of prizes.
There will be the chance for the all clubs to attempt to show WAC how it's
done and actually win a tournament. Yes that is a challenge.
Yes we are more than happy to talk Trash before, during and after the
tournament.
No we will not take it seriously in any way shape or form.
Speaking of Jervis,
- Q&A sessions with him to see what he'll tell about upcoming GW secret new
stuff
- Chance to play games with the man himself
- Opportunity to have a Speed painted figure go under his hammer of judgement
So come on. Visit the real capital. Drink a real stout instead of that
water that Guinness hock. Play some games. Talk some trash, get trashed.
etc....
Ya know ya wanna

games workshop games we will be running specialist games all weekend.
With demos, participation games and challenge matches their will be something
for everyone.
Battle Fleet Gothic
Fleets of giant spaceships do battle in the cold dark of space.
Epic: Armageddon

infantry do battle with hulking war machines and massive titans.
Participation events (All Weekend)

They are designed to be played in 20mins-1 hour, so everyone can have a go in
between games.

great.
On Sunday the entrant will be judged with the “Hammer of Judgement” by none
other than Jervis Johnson.

into little pieces).
Warbuggy Races (approx 30 mins)
Wacky Races meets Formula One, in fast paced Orky racing game.
