Thanks mate! Going for a different theme for each table, so will have an ork theme, Imperial, Chaos etc. For the Legions Imperialis objectives, it is basically just marines fighting + pigs!

Save Our Bacon!

Hi folks - just to say available ticket numbers are now starting to dwindle for both editions of Epic, so if you want your ticket please make sure you get onto the site promptly!

Some of the raffle prizes that will be available on the day.

Hopefully this is ok to share here, links to the auctions for the items that Doc has very kindly donated to the charity drive.
100% of the total going directly to the Brain Tumour Charity (so no ebay or PayPal cut removed). It is currently UK/EU only.

Age of Sigmar: The Steel Rook commemorative release: https://ebay.us/m/jGkKv4

40k Catachan Colonel Anniversary miniature https://ebay.us/m/p2mp1P

As Dear Leader of the Loot Group. And Model Donor? I’m gonna share the links in said Loot Group.

What’s the point of wielding power if you don’t abuse it once in a while?

Oooooohhhhh, I do love a mild abuse of my own power!

I could test drive a Tonka!

Thanks very much mate! A good number of watchers now so that will no doubt have helped

Looks like some decent action on the auctions! Here’s hoping there’s a bidding frenzy. It’s all for a good cause.

Great job guys! Keep up the good work!

A fantastic result on that! Cheers MDG.
18 days until game day and still a few tickets remain, if you are holding off on buying then get in now!

Many thanks again Doc for the donation, very pleased to say almost £100 raised thanks to the sale! And we are now already ahead of the donation total from Bac-Con 2025.
As Ingtaer has said, only a few tickets remaining so please sign-up now if you want to attend but have yet to purchase a ticket.

Guess I need to go a-looting sometime soon for next year’s Bac-Con.

Event Only models are usually the good stuff in terms of rarity and desirability.

Less than 2 weeks to go now, but only 4 tickets remaining (either Epic system available) !

Just had this very cool Dwarf Fortress epic terrain donated by the terrain designer Doctor Spork - available as part of the raffle on the day.

Now that’s nice!

Only a week away to the event. Just two tickets remaining!

Some more objectives finished for Legions Imperialis

1 day to go until Bac-Con, we still have two tickets stubbornly refusing to sell! If you are free last-minute to come it should be a fun day of gaming, and some good raffle prizes. Including the Oldhammer books below!

KONICHAWA from the reason I’m not attending because Diary is a dirty word.

Whilst I have my own copy? I’d consider WD Presents 40K Battles a genuine Grail item.

Especially if you is a noob.

Those old catalogs are pure nostalgia though. I’ve got 2-3 on the shelf, including that one.

Army all ready for tomorrow! If you are in the Bristol area and fancy kicking my gak in then we still have two tickets remaining.

How DARE you put an obviously evil-coded army on such bright and colourful bases.

Congrats on getting it all done bro, it was fun to follow along with your progress.

Where has my banhammer got too...
Spiders traipsing through flowers is obviously the only way to go, they so pretty.

So after many dice have been rolled, hordes of tiny 6/8mm miniatures slain and of course bacon butties consumed Bac-Con is finished for another year. Will post some pictures from the day later on but we managed to reach a really good donation total to the Brain Tumour Charity, more than double the amount of 2025.

Adding the amount from sales from the items donated by MDG we have reached a total of £845!

We are already making plans for next year and the third iteration of the event. Many thanks to everyone who took part or supported in whichever capacity!

Magnificent!!

I’d love this to grow bigger and bigger each year. Paul Sawyer was such a formative part of the hobby, the one we genuinely looked up to in the pre-internet age.

Getting a bunch of gamers together with a DIY ethos just to have some hobby fun is a great way to memorialise his impact, and raise money for a good cause.

This is great news, congratulations on it not just being a great success, but also a fun event to boot, I've been fed some updates throughout yesterday by my fellow mod and it was a delight to see.



Well done indeed, I am proud of you guys!

Fantastic turn out yesterday and an amazing total reached, thanks to Pacific and the TO of Epic:A (who is not on the forum) for all the hard work and many thanks to those who attended, donated or just send good wishes. Now to make Bac-Con pt3 even better.
Was great to have three game systems running at once and all going smoothly and, on a personal level to meet up with some dakkanaughts and throw dice against Piousservant in a very fun red v red game.

Right enough waffle, pic dump time!

Potential loot for next year?

Warhammer Cafe exclusive Keyrings and Hand Towels.

Yes. Warhammer Branded Hygiene Product!

Sitting in a Metal Bar in Tokyo, and I’ve had an idea. Let me know if you think it’s a silly one.

But…a 2nd Ed Space Marine exhibition game. Using the exact same forces and as near as we can manage terrain and board layout from a White Dwarf Battle Report.

Square, Round or Oblong bases don’t make a huge difference in-game, so if one side is Marines no real reason we can’t use modern models. But any would be fair game. Vintage (god bless you!), third party, 3d prints, whatever.

Embrace the Indy “we’ll do as we please” spirit of the Net Epic community, whilst recreating a Hobby Historical punch up?

Thanks to Pacific and Ingtaer for organising the day!

It really was great fun (even though I went 0 for 3 lol ) and a fantastic amount of money raised for charity too, looking forward to next year's event already!
