Does anyone know how many tickets are left for the mirror match? I have not decided if I am going to play in that or the team event.

**jwolf**

Jay,

Mirror Match has a dozen or so tickets left; pairs has a lot of space still. Mirror Match is a pretty good rogues gallery event, and pairs lets you play with your Forgeworld toys. Choose your own adventure.

How many tickets are left for the 40k GT?

Play in the Mirror match fun laid back and good stuff =)

**Blackmoor**

Come on Nick, you have to play in the Mirror Match again. It is Chaos this year and that is your "thing".

I bought my Mirror Match ticket because I was afraid it would sell out, but I was going to wait to get the 40k GT ticket for a week. Is the 40k GT close to selling out too or am I safe to wait a week?

You are safe to wait a week. We aren't Adepticon, and a lot higher percentage of our players have longer travel distance, so we sell slower.

**Reecius**

Looks like Team Zero Comp will be getting an RV and taking an epic road trip to Austin TX from NorCal for Wargamescon!

We're not completely committed yet, but damn close. Hopefully we'll see you all there!

**Hmelrose**

40K & Warmachine events.. So damn tempting to roll up to Austin for this.

I heard there might be a ban on gk. Is that true?

**Darkwynn**

That would be a negative 666. Anyone who is saying that has no connection to Wargames con in any way shape or form.

All armies are that can be used are in the download section for the GT.

Okay it sounded like bull hockey to me. I just wanted to make sure.

**Blackmoor**

Please tell as many people that you can not to bring grey knights,

Thank you!

**Wolf 11x**

Not only am I bringing Grey Knights, I'm bringing Purifiers.

That depends. Are you bringing the entire Chapters compliment of 30 Purifiers?

Just kidding, I am probably bringing a Draigo list

35 actually.

I took a mixed GKT list last year. Draigo, 5 Paladins, 20 Terminators, 3 Dreadnoughts. I ended up 28th in the RTT, which wasn't bad, given that it was my 2nd tournament. I think I could place much higher now, especially if I were to run actual Draigowing.

**Shinkaze**

Whoa you guys keep name dropping parker he hasn't won anything in years. Will stekel be there, I heard he is a living god of war? Imagine if every GT had a Avatar of that gent.... nevermind that would really suck!

My personal goals this year is to win 6 games(but not 7), not lose my shoes again and avoid being hugged by any crying strippers. Oh and finally catch that damn stegadon!

Can I use a chaos sorcerer with warp time in the MM?

Mentioning he-who-must-not-be-named is going to get the mods in here awfully quick.

I'll tell you a secret.. I'm the Stegadon. You aint catching me.

**Shinkaze**

Hey I always go second now so no seizing to save your bacon!

**Darkwynn**

Just as a heads up to the people playing MIrror match. Since the updated FAQ came out and from feedback we decided to change up the Mirror match list.

Here is the updated list:

I will just wait until April and the new Chaos codex gets released to see the final list.

Oh man that would be amazing. I have been dying for a new cam dex, I was so dissatisfied with the last one that I sold my entire Wordbearers army.

I am getting really excited about this event I can't wait tip June.

Any updates on getting the missions available to the public?

Trace,

we are still working on them as for now. Hoping to have something up in two weeks. We were setbackanswering the response to the mirror match and wanted to put a much higher need and focus on that as it takes time for people to prepare and buy the needed materials for a list.

**-666-**

Will there be more terrain this year for the 40k GT? I was told the tables were pretty open last year with not much LOS blocking.

**blood angel**

The tables were not open at all. They were pretty damn good.

They even go through the trouble of blocking out some windows on the lower floors of buildings to add to the LOS blocking.

At this tournament you get to play 40k the way it was meant to be played.

666 starting to wonder where your getting your information from

We have tons of terrain and was one of the biggest comments we got last year was how great the terrain was to cover the size of our touranment.

Here is some examples from others doing reviews of Wargames con. They will have some shots for you to get an idea of the tables.

Thank you very much for the response.

Okay thanks Darkwynn. I am planning to roll on down with the posse now.
