4,000pts EPIC tournament at Britcon! 15th and 17th August Last year was the first time EPIC was played at Britcon. For most players that attended it instantly became the best EPIC UK tournament of the year; so it's back! You can download an entry form from here http://www.bhgs.co.uk/Nationa....orm.htm Britcon is my favourite event of the year. It?s a on campus event at the Manchester University; not only is it a tournament with loads of other systems playing it also has a wargaming convention tagged onto it (admittedly not as big as it used to be). I believe this is the only UK on campus EPIC event making it much more than just a tournament, being able to drink in the student bar Friday and Saturday nights knowing your room isn?t very far away has to be a bonus. It?s 6 game tournament over 3 days; Yes that?s right the first game is Friday evening; but don?t worry you can start your game from 4pm and you have until 10pm to complete it. Personally I normally book Friday off work, travel down early to look around the convention and play a practice game or two. Also because Britcon is an on campus event, and therefore more time available to play your game, the points limit will be 4,000pts. So that?s 6x 4,000pt games! On campus event with accommodation A student bar that stays open stupidly late (oh and then if you want to stay out any later, your in the middle of Manchester City) The overnight leader ?curse of the yellow shirt? Oh and not forgetting the legendary pub quiz Right I suppose you would like to know the cost. Well for a complete price list please check http://www.bhgs.co.uk/Nationa....orm.htm but for two nights B+B plus entry it works out at ?106. If you break that down that?s probably ?40 a night in for a room in the middle of Manchester and ?26 entry fee for 6x 4,000pt games ? that?s pretty good! I love Britcon; it?s not just a tournament, it?s a fantastic weekend away and I will certainly be going! Hopefully see you there! |

Would love to come, but only having nids, Tau and squats I guess these are out. Do we have any issues with using squats as stand in for guard for example, any guidelins for suitable proxies |

I have no problem with you using squats as guard; as long as it's easy to distinguish what is what |

Just say what you have and what you want - most stuff should be fairly straightforward. |

Mark, There isn't a list. Just as long as you make it clear to your opponent it should be fine. Would be good to see you there! |

If I were to do this I guess warriors = guardsmen, thunderers = support weapon teams, berserker = storm troopers, robots = ogyrns. As long as each squat model only represents one guard model all will be good. |
