Just a reminder that there are less than 5 weeks remaining until MechaniCon 2013! Tickets are available, but they are moving, so get yours soon. This is MechaniCon's most affordable price ever, with $49.99 getting you your tournament ticket AND your weekend badge for the WarStore Weekend!

Don't wait any longer on reserving your hotel room either! The discount rate expires on October 11th.

We hope to have the final rules package available by Monday. The final pack will include links to all the current FAQ's and there will be an addendum on October 26th if we have any new FAQ's in the next few weeks.

Unfortunately this means that the October 6th deadline for a new codex to be legal will not allow the new Sisters rules (scheduled for 10/19).

The only significant change to the original rules pack is that Space Marine players must choose their Chapter Tactics and include it on their Army List.

Remember to email your list in by October 26th for bonus points. List submission should go to: gaminggarage AT gmail DOT com

Don't forget that there is soooo much more than just the 40K Grand Tournament! The painting competition will return as well as tons of other games including the WHFB GT, Infinity, Malifaux, Warmachine, Battlefleet Gothic, Flames of War, Brushfire, Heavy Gear and tons more!

Finally, our sneak peek at the new t-shirt artwork continues! Check it out on our Facebook page:

Today is the last day to send in your Fantasy lists. Not sure about the 40K list deadline.

The MechaniCon list submission info is:

Saturday, October 26 - last day for FAQ's to be legal - so Farsight and IA Chapter Tactics and Characters are in for sure!

Monday, October 28 - last day for Army List submissions for the Bonus Point

We have a few bits of info to share today.

Pre-registration for all events will end this Friday, October 25th at midnight. General Admission tickets will be available for single day and weekend badges at the door and event registration on a First Come, First Served basis for any events that are not sold out. You can purchase your tickets and register for events here: http://thewarstoreweekend.com/registration/

There are spaces currently available for most events. Some events, like the MechaniCon GT, are close to selling out. The Colonial GT is now sold out! Hurry to reserve your spot if you are planning on playing in any of the events!

The MechaniCon Grand Tournament FAQ deadline is this coming Saturday, 10/26. Please check to see if any of your units are covered in a new FAQ and submit your army list by Monday, 10/28, for a bonus score in the tournament. There have been a few new FAQ's in the past weeks including Farsight Enclaves as well as Chapter Tactics and Characters for Space Marines in the Imperial Armour books.

We are looking forward to the convention next week!

Where do we submit our lists to for early submission?

The info is in the rules pack for list submission. There will be a new rules pack handed out at the event that has a couple typos fixed and the new scenery descriptions - no rules have changed.

Rules pack can be found here:

To clarify the deadlines:

October 6th was the cut-off for a new codex. That puts the new Sisters and Marine supplements after the deadline, so plan those for next year!

October 26th was the cut-off for a new FAQ. This will include the new Farsight and FW IA Characters and Chapter Tactics.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
We received a few emails about buying tickets this week.

Tickets can still be purchased through the WarStore here:
http://www.thewarstore.com/twsw.html

Online Pre-Registration is closed. You can email us or the WarStore after purchasing tickets to try register for events for another day or so.

Currently there are just a few spots open across all the events due to some last minute cancellations. Some events have as few as 1 slot available. Other events have a little more space. Open spaces will be filled on a First Come First Served basis at the Registration desk if you cannot get an email Registration completed. It is common for players to not be able to show up and redeem their tickets so check in at each event to sign up for the Wait List or maybe get a chance to play as the Ringer.

See you all this weekend!

There have been a few cancellations for the 40K GT. That means there are 3 more spots available!

You can reserve your spot by sending an email to gaminggarage AT gmail DOT com and then purchase your Weekend Pass from The Warstore.
