Well. Ladies and Gentlemen the first ever EndlessCon GT is in the bag. What a great weekend. Friday we had a house of gamers for the MTG Commander Launch and FNM. Also Friday the local Warmachine/Hordes crowd was out to get some games in. And last, but not least the 40K boards were rocking with battles.

Saturday and Sunday saw the main event. The 5 round 40K GT.

Everyone had a blast and all we heard was good things. Ultimately we ended up with about $825 in prize support for the weekend (Including the raffles. Not bad for $25 entry. ) and I think everyone was impressed with how we kept things right on time.

Next time we’ll make sure to get a pre-pay set up with PayPal and some other sponsors to make the next EndlessCon even bigger and better.

I think having a Warmachine/Hordes SteamRoller, 40K Team Touranament, as well as upping the games played to 6 are all things that we will see happen the next go around.

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to host you all this weekend! It was a real treat!

This was a great event. Keep doing it like this and you'll quickly have it growing out of control....in a good way.

I was extremely satisfied with the experience. I'll absolutely be there next year for more of the same!

Dude this guy was the worse opponent I played all weekend . He first comes by all drunk and knocking over stuff and tells me how hes going to beat me down in the ground . Then during the game, I shoot up his troops and tell him "how do you like them apples?" he then goes "applesauce . Between the dice hacks, ruler hacks, and stalling the game so long that we finished 45 min before end time, it was hell on earth . Finally when the game was over, I tried to be a good sport and shake his hand. He then takes my hand and headbutts me and I wakeup and the tournament is all over. Worse guy ever

LOL!!! Shane 1 Hod 0!!!

Is that why you needed a hug afterwards? I thought it was because you got jacked in Bang!

Overall, this was a fantastic event, especially a GT level event. I really can't think of any real issues that occurred during any game (other than my poor decision making ability). Very well run with great tables and a bunch of fun opponents.

My only quibble is the shop is an 1 1/2 away from my house which makes weekend gaming a bit of a challenge.

I'll definitely be up for other events as I had an absolute blast being able to get 5 great games in.

Again, thank you for hosting and running such an event.

Awesome event, my first GT to play in. All the players were hard core. I had the honor of playing an awesome list of players. Pat from the 11th company podcast, the Hod, Deadshane, Delgado and final game against Richard. I wish more stores could do what Mike did. It was an honor gentlemen.

This was the first GT that I have participated in as well, and the comparison between the quality of organisation, modeling, players and experience made it one to remember.

Iron Hands? Got a list? No IG in the top? No BA?

Iron Hands. He was using counts as Space Wolves using their codex. No IG. And Mike B and Brian D were both playing Blood Angels.
