Cancon went off big time, and Arcanacon got a great showing. Welcome
to the February issue of Antipodean Thralls, and yet another month of
colossal gaming!
There's a few things going on this month with some sponsors coming
together to make somewhat of a competition for those of us heading to
GenCon Indy in the US this year (http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/
index.php?showtopic=129353), and plenty of tournaments on the
calendar. Not only that but PP has just announced Colossals at
Templecon and a ton more stuff for Warmachine coming this year, take a
look at Lost hemispheres roundup post (http://losthemisphere.com/blog/?
p=19166)

Warmachine and Hordes has finally hit the book of faces for
Australia! Join up using the link above, and get involved in
discussion, painting pics, and events from across our grand isle!
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!
Don't forget to check them out on facebook to see Mr Moorhouses
spectacular hair, I'll ever be jealous.
