Hi everyone !! BeakyCon will be held again during October. We are currently planning on the weekend of October 6-7 at the Marriott Tampa airport. One of the prizes we will be giving away is a 2000+ point dark eldar army pro painted by Next Level Painting. This includes the cases as well as two Forgeworld Voidraven bombers. This year there will be a requirement for fully painted armies.
We are expanding the field to 64 players - there will be six rounds with one undefeated player at the end. It's going to be a great time !!

Is this event sold out already?!?!?!???

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

After a lot of thought and much discussion BeakyCon2 will use the new 6th edition rules:
- 1999 points (no double FOC lists)
- Allies are in
- Fliers are in
- Warlord Traits are out
- Fortification is in...
No Fortress of Redemption though. If you play a non Imperial army you can bring a custom built fortification but it must closely match the dimensions of those from GW such as the Aegis Defense Line... No modeling for a gaming advantage.
- The following rules from the 6th edition rulebook will not be used:
• Mysterious terrain (p.102)
• Archotech artefacts (p 106)
• Unique terrain (p. 107)
- Each mission will have a primary objective (e.g., control the most objective markers) with two tie breakers (e.g., Slay the Warlord, Linebreaker, etc.). The format is still pure W-L with six rounds and one undefeated player.
- Armies must be fully painted (3 color minimum and flocked bases).

Ooh, might be just what I need to get back my enthusiasm for gaming. Just need to see about getting time off, and the hard part, the wife's compliance!
Of course, she's excited about 6th's changes to some of her 'nids. Might even get her to enter...

With the release of 6th edition players have started to register again... we are hovering right around 40 now. I expect the registration to close out in the next two weeks then I'll start a waiting list. We are really excited as this will be one of the first big events in the US to use 6th edition.
You should definitely try to make it out. Lots of big prizes again this year plus some really awesome looking tables to play on. Just wait until you see the Necron Tomb world!

We have posted over on the BeakyCon blog how the missions and overall scoring system will work. We have strived to deliver a 6th edition system that is competitive and fun to play for everyone. We are up to close to 50 players signed up now. I need to update the registration list.

Hi everyone !! As of this weekend we are two thirds full with less than 20 slots left to fill. We would love to have a full house with 64 players. Last year BeakyCon went off without a hitch and lots of people told us they had a fantastic time. There will be even more prize support this year including the professionally painted dark eldar army by Next Level Painting including two carrying cases from Sabol. Next year we would love to grow the event to 128 slots and add some other events such as Warhammer Fantasy. BeakyCon has the potential to become a major event in the southeast - we need your support to make it happen. If you are coming from far away you can fly into the Tampa airport and never have to leave until its time to go home... How awesome is that?
Sixth edition is well underway now and has been well received. The tournament is designed to give everyone a fair chance and be a lot of fun while gaming in a competitive environment. There is still plenty of time to sign up.
