GottaCon is pleased to announce that it will be hosting Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy tournaments at GottaCon 2010 on February 5 to 7, 2010. Come take part in what will surely be the largest Warhammer event ever to have been run on Vancouver Island. Please see below for event details.
On opening night, Friday February 5 come out and take part in a free 40K Apocalypse tournament where you will have the chance to battle against others in an effort to grab and/or hold objectives and win prizes. This event is a great way to warm up for the major Warhammer events that will begin on Saturday February 6 and continue into Sunday February 7. Or just show up and battle against a friend on one of our tables to sharpen your skills for the fun that begins on Saturday. Other Warhammer events such as demos and painting lessons are still being confirmed.
Starting Saturday morning at 10am our two feature Warhammer events begin. A two day Warhammer 40K event will run both Saturday and Sunday starting at 10am each day. Day one will see 3 rounds of play and day two will see the final 2 rounds of play. Army point limit is 1750 with Forge World models permitted. Prizes will be awarded in the following categories; best overall score, best painted army and best sportsmanship. Armies will be formed according to the standard points costs, restrictions and rules presented in current Games Workshop army books and codexes.
Also starting Saturday morning at 10am a two day Warhammer Fantasy event will run both Saturday and Sunday. Day one will see 3 rounds of play and day two will see the final 2 rounds of play.
