[Terry Masson]

COMMUNITY


Warcast
http://www.warcastonline.com/
A bunch of our eastern seaboard players, including fresh PG
CheatyMcShane, have brought together a brand new podcast! They're
leaning a little on the legion side at the moment, but don't let that
fool you, it's well worth a listen and subscription on iTunes!

ConVic painting challenge & Results
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120229
Like I said last month ConVic went off like Michael Bay at a live fire
gun range. Hit the link above for details not only on the awesome
painting challenge that scored someone an extreme sculpt, but for
other post event details and chatter.

RankingsHQ
http://www.rankingshq.com
Rankings HQ is very excited to have recently launched Warmachine &
Hordes on its tournament rankings and social networking web site.
Rankings HQ is an international rankings business that tracks and
publishes rankings for gamers around the world. There are over 1,000
tournaments and 12,000 players in the database with almost 3000
registered users maintaining their profiles, personal blogs and
networks of gaming friends from over 40 countries.

Rankings HQ publish statistics on the imported tournaments including
Faction and Warcaster/Warlock rankings. A few tournaments have
already been imported for Australia (http://www.rankingshq.com/
rankings/pp.aspx?RegionId=1) & New Zealand (http://www.rankingshq.com/
rankings/pp.aspx?RegionId=10). We look forward to building up the data
on the site providing a great tool for players to use to enhance their
hobby.


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.
The second round of the series for the year has been announced, if you
haven't got a qualifying spot yet get in there now!
