It's June, and with the first half of the year coming to a close
recent events in the gaming community have seen yet another swelling
to Warmachine and Hordes numbers across the country! Find your
nearest event below, and get involved.

ConVic painting challenge
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=112870
To me there's nothing better than seeing a game between two nicely
painted forces. To further encourage players to put paintbrush to
figures between now and Convic, one lucky player who is judged by an
independent and unbiased judge to have painted the best army between
now and the weekend of the tournament will win themselves one of the
awesome Privateer Press Extreme Sculpts! There may also be other
prizes if there are a number of good entries. Take a look in the
thread link and signup now!

Hordes on its tournament rankings and social networking web site.

Oz Super Series
http://www.rankingshq.com/ozsuperseries/
Stolen shamelessly from the announcement thread on WargamerAU, the
team at Irresistible Force have been working behind the scenes with
Hall of Heroes and Realm of Legends to put together a new series that
will build on the burgeoning Warmachine & Hordes scene in Australia
and provide a fantastic new tournament championship.
Tickets for events are available through the RankingsHQ website listed
above, with events in several states and possibly more to come. Forum
chatter seems heavy on the Super Series, it should be a real treat.
