I just booked my flight and got my ticket to WargamesCon 2012 which looks to be even more fun than last year. Once again I will be playing in the Mirror Match event which is less Mirror Matchy, but close enough to get my vote! Here is a look at the list everyone is required to play with one wrinkle…
HEADQUARTERS: Pick one HQ from the list below: (you must use the same HQ for the entire event)
-Kharn
-Daemon Prince, Mark of Slaanesh, Lash of Submission, Wings
-Chaos Lord, Mark of Tzeentch, Daemon Weapon, Wings
-Chaos Lord Mark of Nurgle, Daemon Weapon.
YOUR WARBAND:
Plague Marines: 7 man squad
7 Plague Marines, Plasma gun x2
-Rhino,
Khorne Berzerkers: 8 man squad
7 Khorne Berzerkers, Skull Champion
-Rhino with Combi-melta
Black Legion Chaos Space Marines: 10 man squad
Chaos Glory, Plasma gun x1, Lascannon, Aspiring Champion with Combi-plasma
Raptors of Slannesh: 6 man squad
5 Raptors, Icon of Slaanesh, Meltagun x2, Aspiring Champion, with Lightning Claws (pair)
Chosen of Tzeentch: 9 man squad
9 Chosen, Icon of Tzeentch, Meltagun x3
Summoned Greater Daemon
Predator:
Autocannon, Lascannon Sponsons, Dozer Blade, Extra Armor
I intend to either go with Kharn or the Tzeentch Lord and not give into what I am sure everyone will be doing and take the Lash Prince. I also hope that the new Chaos book doesn’t come out before the event because can you say… awkward.
Besides the Mirror Match as always I will be covering the Championship tournament.
WargamesCon is one of three events (Adepticon & Da Boyz as the others) where the winner earns a spot on Team America as they challenge Europe for the ETC title. WargamesCon is also a strict defender of Battle Points allowing folks with even one loss a chance at crawling back to the top. For more details follow the link below.

“challenge europe for the ETC title”
you wanted to say “challenge GERMANY for the ETC-title.”
Tough luck though, our team is as strong as ever
It is worth pointing out for the sake of accuracy that the NOVA Open, AdeptiCon, DaBoyz and several other major GT’s still award the overall to players who can have even more than 1 loss.
It’s easy to get lost in the rise of Win/Loss Best General awards, and come to perhaps inaccurate conclusions about the rarity of Battle Points / Loss-recovery Overalls. They’re still by far the majority, as is sensible given the hobby isn’t only about winning and losing.
Brandt… I Don’t see anywhere Tastytaste said or brought up your event and or attacked it. Isn’t this thread about wargames con and not Nova? They are using the Battlepoint system sounds like your interjecting yourself to talk about Nova and it looks in bad form.
I have also seen you do this on other sites. Why are you so worried about Wargames con? I thought you wanted to promote all events.
Jake,
WarGamesCon quals for the NOVA invitational; JWolf and I talk often together; we share weekend badge/ticket awards to each others’ events; etc.
I’m quite a fan, actually. I was simply sharing about ALL events, and not at all defending NOVA. Are you accusing me also of interjecting about AdeptiCon, DaBoyz, etc? I think I’m not the one focusing on NOVA here. Nor am I trying to.
I’m not sure why the need for negativity, or for starting down that path. As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m a fan of supporting all events, and in particular a fan of WarGamesCon. I’m hoping I can actually attend this year as well.
It is the way you handle yourself and post that I am calling out. As I look through the Internet and I think it’s most prominent in dakkadakka is that your always there. Then you always bring up Nova in some way or form. It’s like Matt Wards formula for building codexs.
Someone post about touranment , then you see a response from Brandt in some case and brings up Nova and being a competitive event. kind of like always Matt ward has some Hq that changes the whole army list.

Those were just some quick examples I could pull up within 5 minutes on my phone. It’s starting to be your MO and it very off putting. I come to read a thread about Wargames con not you and Nova. It’s starting to become serial…
Sorry man. I don’t want to fight back and forth with you here … as far as I can tell, I mentioned several tournaments (including my own), and … someone else made the comments to date about NOVA.
I’d like to reiterate again my full on support for Wargamescon, and try to steer it yet again back toward that please?
Sounds like someone’s event is not selling out fast enough…
