Masters 2012
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=124354
The only Masters event for Australia in 2012 will be at Arcanacon in
January! Hit the link here to get some details, but rest assured the
AU community will be coming together en force to bring you a truly
masterful
event. Unfortunately clashing with CanCon, the Masters at Arc is the
premier Privateer Press endorsed event for 2012 competitive play in
the country, so if you're serious you'll start organisingyourself
now.
CanCon 2012
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120805
The toughest decision of a Warmachine/Hordes' gaming holidayy in 2012
will be that of deciding between Arc and CanCon. While Arc will have
the Masters, CanCon is shaping up as a truly spectacular event.
Heralding the
return of long abroad PG Jyggdrasil, CanCon will have some truly
unique and fantastic events, and is a massive con with board games,
other wargamers, and what I hear is a truly epic vendor area. Study
some forum threads,
read some tea leaves, or flip a coin if need be - but get your tickets
and accomodation sorted now if you're going to CanCon!
Warcast
http://www.warcastonline.com/
A bunch of our eastern seaboard players, including PG CheatyMcShane
and the King of all worldwide Warmachine Mr James Moorhouse, 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! Production values have
skyrocketed, sponsors have leaped aboard like Kromac against an
unprotected pNemo, and "Ask Warcast" continues to give us valuable
insights!

FINAL WORD
Well, have a great end of the year, we'll see you all in 2012 for some
jack smashing, beast mashing, infantry crushing action! Have a great
holidays, and remember to leave out some severed limbs incase a
NecroSurgeon comes down the chimney, otherwise they might take yours
in your sleep.
As always, PLAY LIKE YOU'VE GOT A PAIR.

Terry Masson
