The SCARAB game convention returns for 2012 and will be Friday, January 13th through Monday, January 16th in Columbia, SC.

This is a four day gaming convention that features a wide range of miniature games, board games and RPGs. Full details for SCARAB can be found here on the SCARAB website.

Saturday the 14th will feature a 1750 point Warhammer 40K tournament with room for 32 players. Full rules for the Warhammer 40K tournament are available. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Best Painted Army, and Best Sportsmanship.

Sunday the 15th will feature a 2000 point Warhammer Fantasy tournament with room for 32 players. More information for the Warhammer Fantasy tournament is available. Scenarios are still to be determined. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Best Painted Army, and Best Sportsmanship. Scenarios are still to be announced.

Friday the 13th plays host to smaller 1500 point Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy mini-tournaments to get the dice warmed up. A prize will be awarded for 1st place only in these two mini-tournaments.

There's a lot more than just Warhammer and 40K going on for these four days!

There are over 100 sessions of RPGs that you can enjoy. For organized RPG play, both Pathfinder Society and Living Forgotten Realms can be played. If you aren't into organized play, Savage Worlds, Shadowrun, Dresden Files and many other RPGs are available for your enjoyment.

If boardgames are more your speed, there are many games scheduled all four days of the convention. Our boardgame tournament will be returning, with many great games to be awarded as prizes. The game library will be available for you to try out new games or enjoy old favorites. There are over 100 games on our shelves for your and your friends to try out.

To see the complete list of all events, please visit our gaming schedule.

The full four day pass is currently $50. If you can get three or more of your friends to join you to register as a group, then each of you will get a $5 discount. Eternal Members, don't forget that your price for all four days is only $40. A one day pass for Saturday or Sunday is also available for $20.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know. I'll do my best to get a quick answer for you.

Was a blast last year and looking forward to attending again this year! Hopefully with the extra day I will have time to do something other than 40k tournaments and only a couple board games.

Glad to hear it! But I might lure back into the 40K universe for a little while on Monday, too, with an all tank death match. But there's lots more going on all weekend, and the gaming hall doesn't close until 2 AM, so you should be able to get in a few games after the end of the 40K tournaments.

Looking forward to this!

The $50 registration special ends this weekend, so if you're interested in the full four days you should check out the website quick. If you've got some friends that can join you don't forget the $5 discount.

Starting next week and at the door the price for a four day badge will be $60.

Don't forget to register for any of the tournaments or other gaming events with Warhorn. Seating is limited for many of the scheduled events and you don't want to miss out on a game you really want to play.

There are still a few spots left in the 40K tournament for Saturday if you'll be in Columbia, SC, this weekend. It's filled up nicely and should have a full roster for Saturday. If you're interested please contact me via Dakka or sign-up on our Warhorn sign-up page.

Also, Privateer Press is generously helping us out by running demos and has a Battlebox tournament for WARMACHINE and HORDES on Saturday. For more details check out Daman Weylin's post.

Gotta say this weekend was an absolutely blast!

I don't remember all of the winners for the two tournaments but here's what I've got:

Friday night 1500
1) Blake -Eldar
2) Unknown -Grey Knights
3) Me -Space Wolves

Saturday 1750

1) Kyle -Orks (20 Nob Bikers!)
2) Pat -Grey Knights
3) Unknown -Eldar

Thanks for the compliment! I'm hoping that everyone had a bunch of good games, and walked away with some new friends and some new tactics. (and maybe a little something extra for their army).

And I can help with the blanks a bit.

Best sportsmanship was a tie between you and Auston, if my dazed and shattered mind can still form memory Thanks to everyone for joining us!

Now to get ready for the Warhammer tounem\ant in a few hours.

I thought that the TAU player (;P)won the SAT games esp against the Space Wolf player.

I had a fun time Friday representing Greenville/Clemson with my Grey Knights.

Saturday I played a Dystopian Wars demo and an indie sci-fi game called Strike Legion. I had a great time at both.

Thanks to the guys running the games and SCARAB for a good time pushing around the plastic and metal.

Goddamn Tau tabling me! I won't forget that! Haha, was a good game and I have to say, that Devil Fish scorched its immobilized image into my mind
